These days, Xia Lin began to think about what gift to give to Xiao Jinyu. Jiang Minghuai suggested that Xia Lin could go to a few commercial streets. Those areas were bustling with numerous shops. He believed Xia Lin would surely find a suitable gift there.
It was not appropriate to trouble others with this matter, so Xia Lin took the bus there alone.
True to its reputation, the commercial street on a weekend afternoon was extremely crowded.
"Oh my god, there are just too many people!" After queuing up to buy an iced lemonade, Xia Lin wanted to find a place to take a rest. But just as he turned around, he was pulled into a secluded corner by a person taking advantage of the chaos caused by the large crowd. Before the bodyguards protecting Xia Lin could stop them in time, these people quickly drugged Xia Lin unconscious and stuffed him into a car, which then drove away. There were also three other identical cars to obstruct the pursuit of the three bodyguards.
Taking advantage of the right time, place, and situation, this group of people successfully kidnapped Xia Lin. The three bodyguards didn't dare to delay and immediately called Xiao Jinyu.
Xiao Jinyu was originally having tea with an old business partner. When he received this call, he accidentally crushed the teacup in his hand. This startled the over - sixty - year - old man sitting opposite him. He thought to himself, "Which audacious fool has offended this demon again?"
"You know what to do. Don't cause unnecessary panic. I can roughly guess who those people are. Without my order, you..."
Xiao Jinyu calmly issued his orders. Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was extremely anxious inside. If he wasn't sure that those who kidnapped Xia Lin wouldn't harm his life, Xiao Jinyu would have rushed to rescue him immediately.
At this moment, he realized many things. He cared about Xia Lin more than he had thought.
【Ding~ Xiao Jinyu's love value has increased by 5 points. The current love value is 35. Please keep up the good work, host. Once you reach 50 love points, you will receive your first small reward.】
Unfortunately, Xia Lin, who was in a coma, couldn't hear this message from the system. It was not until two hours later that he woke up. As soon as he woke up, he felt a headache, a pain in his neck, and his whole body ached.
He was in a dim warehouse. He must have been lying on the cold floor when he was unconscious, no wonder he felt so uncomfortable all over.
Oh no! If he had been kidnapped, Xiao Jinyu would surely be very worried. And it was easy to guess that the kidnappers must be trying to threaten Xiao Jinyu.
Xia Lin felt really bad. He didn't want to be a burden to Xiao Jinyu and must find a way to escape.
"System, can we make a deal? Can you lend me a reward that can help me escape?"
【Lend a reward? Hmm...】
The system didn't immediately refuse, which meant there was a chance. "Please, system. Just this once. I've never begged you before."
The system seemed to think for a while and then said, 【The system can lend the host a reward, but there will be interest. The host will have to pay it back with two rewards later. That is to say, originally, when the host's love value reaches 50 and the blackening value drops to 50, there will be a reward each. But if the host borrows a reward from the system now, those two rewards will be forfeited. Can the host accept this?】
Sure enough, this was not a loss for the system. Instead, Xia Lin would be at a disadvantage. But in order not to implicate Xiao Jinyu, it was worth it!
"Okay, I accept!"
