The person is in their hands, and Qin Mobai dares not act rashly. Blades are ruthless, and if Lou Xi gets hurt, it’s not just a matter of a few million.
"Fine, I’ll immediately have someone bring the money and the car over. Don’t touch her!" Qin Mobai took his phone and called Lu Li.
Earlier, after receiving Qin Mobai’s call, Lu Li mobilized almost everyone he knew to search for Lou Xi. After informing Qin Mobai where Lou Xi had been taken, he also sent people over.
But now, he received another call from Qin Mobai.
"Bring over five million in cash and a car immediately, hurry!" Qin Mobai didn’t give Lu Li much chance to speak and promptly hung up.
"Five million isn’t a small amount; it will take some time to prepare. Now, let me be your hostage and release her. I’m the CEO of Jia Sheng Group; I’m worth much more than she is!" Qin Mobai didn’t want Lou Xi to continue being a hostage. He wanted to trade places, thinking even if she sat in the car, it was better than being in that man’s hands!
However, upon hearing this sentence, Lou Xi was utterly stunned.
She was just a small assistant in the CEO’s office of Jia Sheng Group, having worked in the company for quite a few days, yet she didn’t know that the CEO was Qin Mobai!
No, no, they had such a relationship already, yet she didn’t know he was the CEO of Jia Sheng Group!
How much had this man been hiding from her?
Qin Mobai seemed to receive Lou Xi’s gaze and met her eyes, as if telling her he’d explain everything slowly later.
"Boss, he is the CEO of Jia Sheng Group, eh? How about we squeeze him for more? We could live the good life with the money," one of the men suggested.
"You idiot! How are we going to run away with that much money?"
Listening to their conversation, Lou Xi couldn’t help but blame herself.
If she had endured the counselor’s words earlier, letting her take her back to school, none of this would have happened.
Qin Mobai wouldn’t have needed to spend five million to save her.
Five million!
Lou Xi felt like she could never earn so much in her lifetime, yet Qin Mobai took it out so effortlessly, not even furrowing his brow, all to save her!
"Young Master Qin, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have run off..." Lou Xi’s eyes turned red, feeling like she had caused trouble for Young Master Qin.
Seeing Lou Xi cry, Qin Mobai felt as if his heart was being pierced by something, horribly uncomfortable.
"Why are you crying? I won’t let anything happen to you." Yes, nothing would happen to her. He had searched for her for so long, how could he allow anything to happen to her?
Even if it cost him the whole world, he wanted to keep her safe and sound by his side.
"As I, Qin Mobai, promise, I’ll let you walk away with the money." Qin Mobai coldly said to the three men, "But the condition is that she must be unharmed. I’m coming over to help her put on clothes. Otherwise, you won’t get a dime."
Qin Mobai exuded an aura of irrefutable authority, making them unable to refuse.
So, Qin Mobai slowly walked over and took off his suit jacket.
When he got over there, Qin Mobai draped his jacket over Lou Xi, and at this point, the knife was no longer at Lou Xi’s neck, but at Qin Mobai’s!
"Young Master Qin!" In an instant, Lou Xi realized Young Master Qin had become the hostage, feeling deeply unsettled.
Qin Mobai, however, said, "Be good. Get in the car and lock the door; no matter what happens, don’t come out."
Lou Xi shook her head vigorously, tears streaming down.
