Compared with money, life is, of course, more important!
Ji Xiaoli swallowed back the words "How much do you want?" that were almost blurted out.
Although she had never eaten pork, she had seen a pig run. The more she showed her concern for Zheng Nanfeng now, the more dangerous his situation would be.
Especially considering her previous relationship with Li Songyuan, her sixth sense as a woman told her that if she dared to do so...
It would definitely enrage Li Songyuan!
Cold sweat dripped from Ji Xiaoli drop by drop.
No!
She forced herself to calm down. Although she was very anxious inside, she kept a cold look on her face.
She sent another video call request, which was rejected.
After repeatedly sending requests several times, Li Songyuan finally answered.
"Editor Songyuan, could you please calm down first?"
Hearing this long - lost address, Li Songyuan's expression visibly softened. "Xiaoli, it's really been a long time since I heard the address 'Editor Songyuan'."
"Editor Songyuan, calm down. Kidnapping is a criminal offense. If you let him go now, we can just act as if nothing has happened, okay?"
Suddenly, Li Songyuan's face became ferocious, and he sneered. "Act as if nothing has happened? You've made me lose everything. Now you think you can just wipe it all away with a few light words?"
Ji Xiaoli resisted the urge to scold. What did he mean by saying she had made him lose everything?
It was clearly this scumbag Li Songyuan who had harbored evil intentions first, coveting her family's wealth, and then abandoned the pregnant Yuan Yuan.
He even involved her and Zheng Nanfeng, making that poor guy lie in the hospital for so long.
"Li Songyuan, do you really want me to expose all the things you've done one by one? What right do you have to blame me like this?"
Hearing Ji Xiaoli's mockery, Li Songyuan flew into a rage and almost roared, "What right do I have? My career, my leg, my reputation, you've ruined them all! Isn't that enough?"
"So what?"
Looking at this strange Li Songyuan, Ji Xiaoli felt even more disappointed. "Li Songyuan, all this is just your own doing. For the sake of our past relationship, I advise you to stop as soon as possible."
"What a self - inflicted consequence! I didn't expect you to be such a cold - hearted person." Li Songyuan's face was gloomy.
He hadn't done anything extremely immoral before. He just thought Ji Xiaoli was naive and rich, and wanted to get some benefits from her.
He hadn't even succeeded, yet he was ruined.
How could he not be angry!
Although she didn't know what he was thinking, just by looking at his expression, Ji Xiaoli knew that this selfish man blamed everything on her.
As Ji Xiaoli was thinking this, the familiar system voice sounded again—
[Thoughts of the scumbag: It's all your fault. Why didn't you take the bait?]
She suddenly felt nauseous. Frowning, she said coldly, "If you're unhappy about what I did before, I apologize. But Zheng Nanfeng has nothing to do with our business. Please let him go quickly."
"Let him go?" Li Songyuan suddenly laughed strangely. "Xiaoli, you're too naive. It's not easy for me to catch him. How could I let him go so easily?"
Ji Xiaoli pretended to be impatient. "Do as you like then. The Zheng family is not to be trifled with. I'll hang up if there's nothing else."
Now Li Songyuan was a bit unsure. He said viciously, "Zheng Nanfeng is still in my hands. Aren't you really worried?"
Ji Xiaoli frowned tightly, as if even more unhappy. "He has the surname Zheng, and I have the surname Ji. Why should I worry about him?"
Li Songyuan was a bit panicked because he had kidnapped Zheng Nanfeng just to extort money from Ji Xiaoli. If the person involved didn't care, where could he get the money?
"Wait, Xiaoli. Do you really not care about this guy at all?"
Ji Xiaoli sneered and retorted, "Why should I care? He's just one of my suitors. Without him, I still have other suitors."
Hearing Ji Xiaoli's words, Li Songyuan's heart grew colder and colder.
He suddenly had a bad premonition: Could it be that his carefully - planned kidnapping this time was going to end up in vain?
Just then, his eyes flashed.
He noticed that although Ji Xiaoli in the video looked cold, her eyes were quietly watching Zheng Nanfeng behind him.
For a moment, he didn't know whether he should be happy or jealous.
"Ji Xiaoli, I'll give you one last chance. Prepare 100 million yuan in cash for me in an hour, or wait to collect the body of your lover."
After saying that, he reported an address and immediately hung up the video.
Alas!
Ji Xiaoli was going crazy.
She knew that she must have shown some flaws just now.
It was said that concern could lead to confusion. It must be...
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Ji Xiaoli's mind. She suddenly realized a possibility—Why did she use the phrase "concern leads to confusion"?
She didn't like Zheng Nanfeng. How could concern lead to confusion?
Ji Xiaoli was stunned and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Fortunately, she still remembered that the most important problem at present was Zheng Nanfeng's safety. At this time, she didn't even think about whether the money spent in this situation could bring her lucky points. Her mind was full of the thought that Zheng Nanfeng must not have an accident.
She immediately contacted her secretary, who had just been assigned to her recently. "Now, prepare 100 million yuan in cash for me."
The young secretary was very surprised. "President Ji, why do you suddenly need 100 million yuan in cash?"
Ji Xiaoli was extremely anxious now. "Don't ask so many questions. Prepare it for me right now! I've sent you the card number. Hurry up!"
The young secretary didn't dare to say anything and had to go to withdraw the money as she was asked.
When withdrawing the money and seeing the long string of zeros after the card balance, the young secretary couldn't help clicking her tongue.
Is this what rich people are like?
Because the amount was really huge, the bank was also very efficient.
Holding the suitcase specially for 100 million yuan in cash, the young secretary couldn't help having a strange guess.
Could it be that President Ji was going to play with the cash?
Tsk tsk, the happiness of rich people is really simple and unadorned.
While the young secretary was withdrawing the money, Ji Xiaoli didn't stop. She immediately asked someone to drive her car to the police station.
"I'm here to report a crime. My friend has been kidnapped!" Ji Xiaoli rushed in, her voice urgent.
The police officer there was very responsible. Immediately looking serious, he said, "Hello, ma'am. Please don't be anxious. Could you tell me the specific information?"
"Okay, I'm Ji Xiaoli. My friend Zheng Nanfeng, the heir of the Zheng Group, has been kidnapped. The kidnapper is now extorting 100 million yuan in cash from me..."
Hearing this amount, the police officer was initially skeptical.
After all, the young girl in front of him looked so young that she really didn't seem like someone who could be extorted 100 million yuan in cash.
But someone around recognized Ji Xiaoli and whispered her identity to his colleague.
Thinking of her identity, the police officer suddenly understood. After listening to the details described by Ji Xiaoli.
With such a large amount of money and the fact that the kidnapped person was not an ordinary person, they couldn't afford not to take it seriously. "Miss Ji, please don't be anxious. We'll immediately arrange someone to handle this for you. Please calm down first."
Ji Xiaoli gritted her teeth. "Then please be quick. The one - hour deadline we agreed on is almost up!"
