Song Song’s round grape-like eyes flashed with confusion, "Help? How can I help Mr. Xu? Did you and... Lin Man have a quarrel?"
"No."
If he didn’t mention Lin Man, he feared she wouldn’t agree to come to such a remote place with him.
"Then what is it...?"
"Miss Song, I’ve run into some trouble. I hope you can speak favorably of me in front of President Xiao and let him spare me this time. I promise to behave well in the future and not cause any more trouble..."
Song Song admitted she was a bit naive, but she wasn’t dumb. She suddenly understood his intentions and knew why he brought her here to say this. It really was a good place to make a move.
"I’m sorry, Mr. Xu, you overestimate me. I’m not that capable. Goodbye!"
After speaking, she turned and ran, remembering her bad feeling about this man when she first met him. You never know what he might do if provoked, so it’s best to leave.
But Song Song still underestimated the situation. When people are desperate, they might act irrationally and do something foolish.
She hadn’t run more than a couple of steps when she heard him chasing her. She didn’t have time to react before being hit hard and knocked unconscious.
In an instant, everything turned dark.
When she woke up again, she was bound hand and foot, with tape over her mouth, and thrown in an abandoned factory.
The instigator sat not far from her, holding a stick and drinking.
Seeing her awake, he said, "Miss Song, as long as you cooperate, you’ll be fine. But if you don’t, you’ll suffer. Understand?"
Song Song began to struggle, signaling with her eyes for him to remove the tape from her mouth...
Xu Lang glanced at her, thinking that in this hellhole, her cries for help wouldn’t matter anyway, so he got up and removed the tape from her mouth.
Song Song didn’t know how long she’d been tied up, but when the tape was removed, it hurt so much she almost cried out.
"Hey! Mr. Xu, are you dumber than I am?"
"...You, what did you say?"
Xu Lang’s eyes suddenly glimmered darkly; he was a graduate of a prestigious university and a Master’s degree holder, and it was the first time someone called him dumb...
"I said you’re dumb!"
Song Song showed no fear and shifted to the side, taking on a posture akin to having a heart-to-heart, "Kidnapping me will only make things worse; it won’t ease the situation at all."
"Hmph! As long as Xiao Jinghuai knows you’re in my hands, he’ll naturally compromise; this is the quickest solution..."
Xu Lang said smugly.
Song Song laughed lightly twice, "Really?"
"Why are you laughing? Stop laughing..."
This seemingly foolish woman, what right did she have to mock him?
"Mr. Xu, I just want to ask you, did you throw away my phone?"
"What, what do you mean?"
Song Song’s eyes sparkled, "That phone was given to me by him; I’m not sure if he installed anything on it like a tracking system."
This was meant to be a bluff because she remembered he’d installed something similar on Bao Bei’s phone before, so she used this trick to fool the man in front of her.
As he searched her for the phone, she planned to knock him out and escape...
Xu Lang suddenly realized, immediately getting up to move towards her to search for the phone.
At that moment, the sound of the old iron door being slammed open echoed...
With a "bang," it scared him so much he almost fell to his knees.
Then he saw a tall, imposing figure standing there, with a cold, murderous look on his face.
