Chapter 132 You Shouldn’t Be Subjected To Tools Right Now
Shen Mobo gawked at the rope in astonishment, struggling to comprehend what Xiao Qingqing was
planning to do.
“You shouldn’t be subjected to tools right now.”
True enough, Shen Mobo had unscrupulous thoughts.
Xiao Qingqing beamed at him, running the tip of her finger down his chest, and breathed into his ear,
“We can get to the tools later if you like, tie me up now.”
“Tie you up?”
Shen Mobo gaped his eyes at Xiao Qingqing once again, shocked.
Meanwhile, Xiao Qingqing slowly closed into Shen Mobo, tip-toed, and whispered her plan to him.
Upon listening to what she had to say, he showed no sign of being impressed. Instead, he was even a
little upset.
Looking at Xiao Qingqing with a scowl, he said, “Must you do that to yourself? I can match whatever Lu
Jinye gives you!”
However, the charming look on Xiao Qingqing from the prior night had disappeared. All that was left
was an adamant glow. She replied to Shen Mobo, “Yes, I must.”
She must not lose.
Why must she admit defeat?!
She was not less pretty than Mu Zhi.
Besides, she thought that she had given her best to work towards a blissful marriage with Lu Jinye.
Therefore, she must not lose!
Shen Mobo looked at Xiao Qingqing. Apart from a twinge of heartache, there was sorrow in his eyes.
He chose to compromise in the end, grabbing the rope and tying up Xiao Qingqing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe took a photo of her.
The photo depicted Xiao Qingqing tied up, undressed.
He then had his man purchased a new number and sent the photo to Lu Jinye anonymously.
…
Mu Zhi’s clothes were still wet when she woke up. Water was still dripping onto the ground. She turned
to look at Mu Xiaomu. Her delicate little face was pale and meek. Mu Xiaomu barely managed to crack
her eyes open to glance at Mu Zhi before her heavy eyelids collapsed.
Mu Zhi was instantly perturbed, “Xiaomu!”
“Mama… Ma…”
Mu Xiaomu opened her mouth, seemingly fighting to pry her eyes open. But she could only mumble the
few words.
“Mama… I feel warm, thirsty… I feel cold.”
Her continuous murmuring broke Mu Zhi’s heart.
She started shouting for Zhang Baiyan’s name, but to no avail.
Mu Zhi then shuffled in Mu Xiaomu’s direction, and finally got within reach of her. But as soon as she
touched Mu Xiaomu’s skin, she became even more anxious.
It was scorching hot.
The surface of Mu Xiaomu’s skin was almost boiling to Mu Zhi’s fingertips.
She had a serious fever.
“Zhang Baiyan! Show yourself right now! Zhang Baiyan!”
Mu Zhi bellowed unremittingly, aiming hefty kicks at her chair to produce a series of loud clanking. A
long moment later, Zhang Baiyan then slowly approached them with a groggy face.
He yawned and peered down at Mu Zhi.
“What’s that noise about?”
“Hurry up and untie me, my daughter has a fever!”
Mu Zhi yelled Zhang Baiyan at the top of her lungs. Her voice cracked.
When she reverted her attention to Mu Xiaomu, she realized that her cheeks were flushed, eyes tightly
shut as if she had no strength to open them.
Mu Zhi was worried sick.
“Zhang Baiyan!”
“Hurry up!”
Mu Zhi commanded him once again. However, Zhang Baiyan only tossed the phone to Mu Zhi, saying,
“Give Lu Jinye a call, and have him send the ransom.”
Zhang Baiyan grinned menacingly.
Looking at the phone, Mu Zhi hesitated but ended up picking it off the ground and dialed Lu Jinye’s
number.
As soon as the call went through, Lu Jinye said to Mu Zhi, “Mu Zhi, don’t worry.”
“What did he say? Bloody put it on speak!”
Zhang Baiyan charged at her, seized the phone, and put the call on speaker.
Last night… Before leaving, Mu Zhi was worried that something bad would happen to her, so she left a
clue behind for Lu Jinye.
To her surprise, merely two words from Lu Jinye immediately calmed the violent ripples in her heart.
When Lu Jinye told her not to worry, it meant that he had found what she left behind.
Mu Zhi glanced at Zhang Baiyan alarmedly, then said to Lu Jinye, “Then hurry up and save me. He’s
asking for 100 million, and Xiaomu is sick… She’s…”
Mu Zhi had not finished her words when Zhang Baiyan snatched the phone, saying, “If you want your
woman alive, you better be quick to bring the money. I’ll send you the address. Make sure you come
alone.”
Finishing his remark, Zhang Baiyan swiftly hung up the call.
He then peered at Mu Zhi. His gaze sent shivers down her spine.
Following closely, he made another call to a man. His tone sounded like he was giving his subordinate
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏman order.
He told the man to meet Lu Jinye at the Salterpoint Bridge in City S and retrieve the money. They
would only release Mu Zhi when that was done.
Meanwhile, Mu Zhi became much calmer after the brief call with Lu Jinye. She cleverly told Zhang
Baiyan to bring a wet cloth and put it over Mu Xiaomu’s forehead to bring the fever down.
She also warned him that he would never get away if anything had happened to Mu Xiaomu.
Mu Zhi was eagerly praying that Lu Jinye had indeed found the clue she left behind.
There was one time when Mu Zhi snuck out of home when they were married. But she accidentally left
a bracelet behind. Lu Jinye used the location of that bracelet to deduce the exit where Mu Zhi had left
through.
Lu Jinye was a meticulous man. Despite his nonchalant front, and often overlooking the way Mu Zhi
dressed, he knew what clothes and pieces of jewellery she had like the back of his hand.
That was also why Mu Zhi fancied all sorts of jewellery. She wore multiple cheap pieces of jewellery on
her but they were hardly visible to ordinary eyes. The prior night, she left behind all the jewellery amid
downpour to leave a trail to Lu Jinye.
She had no idea how Lu Jinye had managed to find them, or what conclusions he drew. But she trusted
him.
Fortunately, under Mu Zhi’s extortion, Mu Xiaomu’s fever seemed to have subsided. Zhang Baiyan also
brought some water to Mu Xiaomu.
However… After waiting for the whole day, they did not hear news from Lu Jinye by nightfall.
Lu Jinye had not pinpointed Mu Zhi’s location for their rescue, while the man Zhang Baiyan sent to
retrieve the money had not returned.
It was almost nine at night when the man came back.
He started rebuking fiercely as soon as he stepped into the door, “I say we kill the hostages. Lu Jinye
doesn’t even care about this bitch. I could see his car earlier, but he received a phone call about Xiao
Qingqing, and left straight away.”
“I waited for him like a fool, thinking he’d be back, but he didn’t show.”
Mu Zhi overheard his banter.
While Zhang Baiyan was started to lose his patience after hearing those words. He retorted, “Light the
warehouse on fire, teaching this scumbag, Lu Jinye, a lesson! Make him stay in line!”
