Chapter 647: Holding a Thousand Gold

Lin Yuan held Le Wei'er hostage and came to the elevator door.

He gave the elevator door a hum.

Then he directly brought Le Wei'er into the elevator.

The elevator doors slowly closed……

A few minutes later.

"Ding."

A soft chime, the elevator reached the 1st floor.

The doors slowly opened.

Outside in the lobby there were still many thugs.

But the thugs, because Le Wei'er was in Lin Yuan's hands, none dared to step forward.

And, just as the elevator doors were fully opened,

Le Wei'er's eyes suddenly turned fierce; she suddenly…… disregarded the restraint around her neck……

Le Wei'er, violently thrust her neck…… toward the blade pressed against her neck……

Le Wei'er forcibly…… let the sharp blade's edge slice her own trachea, a deep gash instantly appeared.

And she, taking advantage of this opportunity, because her body leaned forward, gained a sliver of space to escape!

"Sss……!" Blood instantly spurted from his snow-white blood opening……

It stained Le Wei'er's collar red, and also splashed onto Lin Yuan's hand.

Lin Yuan's pupils contracted, his eyes filled with shock.

He never expected that this woman Le Wei'er would be so ruthless, to escape she would not hesitate to inflict such a deadly move on herself.

Le Wei'er endured the intense pain in her neck, one hand tightly covering the bleeding wound, the other hand shoved Lin Yuan away with force!

She staggered out of the elevator, rushing toward the crowd ahead in the lobby.

Le Wei'er exerted all her strength, just wanting to escape……

Even though her wound ached terribly and blood kept flowing, she dared not pause in the slightest.

Lin Yuan's mouth curled in a cold smile; he pinched a few slender Silver Needles between his fingertips, his wrist slightly lifted.

Silver Needles…… shot out!

The Silver Needles precisely struck Le Wei'er's nape and knees.

"Thud!"

With a sound, Le Wei'er's body went limp, her legs numb, and she collapsed to the ground instantly.

She could no longer run, only able to lie on the ground, still tightly covering her neck wound.

Blood continued to seep out from between her fingers……

Le Wei'er's pretty face instantly turned deathly pale.

At this moment, the surrounding thugs were about to rush forward to rescue.

As a result, Lin Yuan was a step faster.

Lin Yuan strode forward, ignoring the surrounding thugs……

He grabbed Le Wei'er's arm and pulled her up from the ground.

Lin Yuan's gaze swept over the deep wound on her neck.

"Woman, you are really ruthless." Lin Yuan said coldly.

His voice…… had not a trace of pity.

But Lin Yuan also did not leave it unattended.

Lin Yuan directly used a few Silver Needles to seal the acupoints on Le Wei'er's neck.

The blood from Le Wei'er's neck wound temporarily stopped flowing.

Lin Yuan once again gripped Le Wei'er's neck, holding her tightly in his embrace.

Lin Yuan shouted coldly, "All of you, get lost! Anyone who dares to block will be killed without mercy!"

Seeing this, the thugs all instinctively retreated, no one daring to step forward to block……

Everyone could only watch helplessly as Lin Yuan, holding Le Wei'er hostage, walked step by step out of the main door of Le Tian Jin Rong Da Sha……

Lin Yuan, holding Le Wei'er hostage…… walked to the Tesla beside the building's entrance.

He ruthlessly threw Leiweier into it.

Lin Yuan "Bang!" shut the car door.

Afterwards, Lin Yuan himself quickly walked to the driver's seat, started the vehicle, and sped off……

He left behind a group of helpless thugs.

……

After the car drove away from the premises of Le Tian Jin Rong Da Sha, Le Wei'er instinctively tried to struggle to open the car door to escape.

But she discovered that her whole body wouldn't move an inch……

"Don't move, your acupoints have been sealed by me, you can't move." Lin Yuan, while driving, glanced at her lightly and said mockingly.

Le Wei'er's pretty face turned deathly pale.

The Silver Needles Lin Yuan just shot not only knocked her down, but also sealed her acupoints.

At this moment, aside from being able to speak and move her eyeballs, her limbs and body were as if frozen, she didn't even have the strength to lift a hand……

Le Wei'er could only stiffly lean against the passenger seat, her eyes full of resentment and anxiety.

Watching the street scenery outside the window fly backward rapidly……

Le Wei'er gritted her teeth and threatened: "Lin Yuan, you kidnapped me, have you considered the consequences? My dad will definitely not let you off! He will surely use all his power to find you; by then, you will surely die!"

Lin Yuan gripped the steering wheel firmly with both hands, his face showing no ripple.

He continued driving, "Oh really? I also have no intention of letting you off, Le Tian Financial."

Hearing this, Le Wei'er's delicate body jerked.

She asked in disbelief, "You lunatic, what exactly do you intend to do?"

Lin Yuan drove, shrugging his shoulders, said, "As you said, I'm a lunatic, so you surely can't guess what I'm doing."

Lin Yuan couldn't be bothered with her, driving all the way out to the suburbs.

However, along the way, Lin Yuan turned his head and glanced at her.

Then Lin Yuan suddenly stopped the car, and he actually took off his own sock.

Then Lin Yuan stretched open his black sock and directly put it over Le Wei'er's head.

The black sock covered Le Wei'er's face, blocking her vision.

"Ah……!" Le Wei'er struggled in terror, trying to avoid Lin Yuan's smelly sock.

"Bastard, what are you doing?! I'll kill you! Ah!"

But she couldn't move at all, only able to let Lin Yuan's smelly sock stay on her face.

"Don't move around, I'm just blocking your sight." Lin Yuan sneered.

No matter how Le Wei'er struggled and cursed, Lin Yuan couldn't be bothered to pay attention.

After Lin Yuan covered her face, he confirmed she couldn't see.

Only then did he feel at ease driving.

Doing this was to prevent her from recognizing the route.

……

The car drove for ten-odd minutes, completely leaving the urban area……

The surroundings gradually became desolate……

After driving a moment,.

Lin Yuan parked the car at the entrance of an inconspicuous suburban warehouse.

He turned off the engine and opened the passenger door.

Lin Yuan grabbed the stiff Le Wei'er and, holding her, walked into the suburban warehouse.

Here is the Goddess Bar's exclusive storage wine cellar.

Normally used for fermenting red wine.

It is the Goddess Bar's secret base for brewing its own red wine, highly concealed, few people know of it.

Lin Yuan opened the basement's iron door, and a rich aroma of fermenting red wine mixed with a hint of damp mold rushed forth.

The basement was dimly lit, only a few dim bulbs hanging from the ceiling, illuminating rows of neat wine barrels around.

The barrels were covered in dust, obviously stored for quite a while.

Lin Yuan, holding Le Wei'er, …… step by step descended the narrow stairs.

Then he released his grip and ruthlessly threw Le Wei'er onto the cold, damp concrete floor.

Le Wei'er's delicate body went rigid, she had no strength to struggle, only able to slump heavily to the ground with a thud.

Her eyes…… were filled with despair and hatred.

Le Wei'er had not yet reacted from the intense pain of the fall……

Above her head, a slight sound came.

Lin Yuan bent over and yanked off the smelly sock hood on her face……

Earlier, fearing she might call for help and expose our trail, I put the hood on her.

Now that we've reached the destination, Lin Yuan removed her hood.

Le Wei'er's exquisite, beautiful face was full of humiliation; she gasped heavily, the sock had been so foul she almost vomited and suffocated.

Le Wei'er now looked around and finally saw the surroundings.

The dim light of the basement…… made her instinctively squint.

Le Wei'er looked around in terror……

All around, wine barrels stood in rows, moisture permeated.

Here, it was foreign and oppressive.

Le Wei'er couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice: "Where is this?!"

Lin Yuan stood before her, arms crossed, looking down at her disheveled state, tone flat and unemotional: "A suburban wine cellar warehouse, also where I temporarily place you."

"Why did you bring me here?!" Le Wei'er snapped.

"Lin Yuan, when will you stop? Kidnapping me, humiliating me, now you bring me to this ghostly place—what exactly do you want?!"

Lin Yuan's lips curled into a faint sneer as he slowly crouched down.,

His gaze…… swept over the still slightly bleeding wound on her neck.

Lin Yuan said indifferently: "Don't rush, you are my bargaining chip; keeping you alive is still useful, so I will naturally take good care of you."

"I can't let you die here, cutting off my negotiation channel with Le Xiao chen."

After his words fell, Lin Yuan no longer looked at her furious appearance.

Lin Yuan's right hand…… swiftly slipped into his coat pocket, fingertips pulling out several slender Silver Needles.

He gently pinched Le Wei'er's chin, forcing her to lift her head, exposing the wound on her neck.

"What are you doing?" Le Wei'er struggled in panic.

Lin Yuan's fingertip twitched slightly, the Silver Needle…… precisely pierced the area around Le Wei'er's wound.

The Silver Needle pierced several acupuncture points.

Lin Yuan moved with practiced ease, without any delay.

Le Wei'er stared blankly for a moment?

She felt the wound on her neck no longer hurt?

The wound that had been slightly bleeding……

The moment the Silver Needle pierced, the bleeding speed noticeably slowed.

After a moment, Le Wei'er's neck completely stopped bleeding.

The intense pain in her neck also eased considerably.

Gradually, the fury and despair in her eyes faded……

What replaced it was a cold stubbornness.

Le Wei'er's face showed no extra expression, only intense hatred and contempt.

She gritted her teeth and spat out word by word: "Lin Yuan, you fugitive! You think kidnapping me can blackmail my dad? I tell you, my dad will surely mobilize all the power of the Le Tian Group, dig three feet deep to find you!"

"By then, he will surely tear you into countless pieces, making you pay a heavy price!"

Le Wei'er paused, the mockery in her eyes growing more intense.

"Besides, you hide in this rundown cellar in the boondocks, afraid to show your face, just because you fear my dad, fear the Le Tian Group and Bai Jin Han Group joining forces against you! You're nothing but a coward, only using such despicable tactics as kidnapping women!"

Lin Yuan paid no heed to her insults and provocations.

Lin Yuan seemed not to have heard, continuing to focus on treating her wound.

He carefully adjusted the angle of the Silver Needle to ensure the hemostatic effect.

Lin Yuan again took out a small bottle of herbal ointment from his pocket and gently applied it to her wound.

After he had thoroughly treated Le Wei'er's wound……

Only then did he slowly withdraw the Silver Needle, put it back in his pocket, and slowly rise to his feet.

Afterwards, Lin Yuan turned and walked out of the cellar, closing the iron door.

About ten or so minutes later, he came back in, holding a plastic bag containing bottled water and a few packs of bread and biscuits.

This was what Lin Yuan had just taken from the car, enough to maintain basic warmth and food.

He threw the plastic bag onto the ground in front of Le Wei'er, and it landed with a soft sound.

Le Wei'er lowered her head and glanced at the water and food on the ground, showing no inclination, and continued to stare at him with icy eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan spoke in a flat tone: "You don't need to waste effort insulting me, nor need to utter threats to intimidate me; my aim is not to harm you, nor to have a deadly showdown with the Le Tian Group."

Lin Yuan lifted his gaze, staring straight at her.

"I captured you merely to use you as leverage, to force your father to sever all ties with the Bai Jin Han Group."

"The two powers joining forces aim at me; I cannot give them the chance to unite against us. Besides, I will have Le Xiao chen eliminate…… all remnants colluding with the Qian Shi Group, thoroughly cutting off the Qian Shi Group's last root in Hangcheng to eliminate future trouble."

Hearing this, Le Wei'er's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

She snapped, "You're dreaming! You won't succeed!"

Lin Yuan couldn't be bothered to respond.

He rose to his feet, lingered no longer, and turned toward the cellar stairs……

"Don't go!"

Just as he was about to step onto the stairs, Le Wei'er suddenly spoke……%

Her voice carried a hint of barely perceptible panic.

No matter how stubborn or how much she hated Lin Yuan……

But at this moment, trapped in this unfamiliar cellar in the wilderness, she would also be afraid.

Watching Lin Yuan about to leave……

Le Wei'er still felt a nameless fear rise in her heart.

She would rather be held hostage by him than be abandoned alone in this cold, desolate place.

Lin Yuan's steps paused, he didn't turn back, and only spoke lightly.

"Rest assured, I will come back; I won't leave you alone here. I'm just going to the toilet to handle a few small matters, and I'll be back soon."

He paused, then added: "Besides, these days we should be inseparable; you can't escape, and I won't give you a chance to escape—just stay put and relax."

……

At this time, it was already late at night.

Tonight, the basement cellar.

Lin Yuan brought in a folding bed.

Then tonight he lay on that folding bed, covered himself with a blanket, and slept comfortably.

As for Le Wei'er, she lay on the ground, lonely and cold.

Le Wei'er couldn't help but say, "You, you're the only one on the bed? Where am I supposed to sleep?"

Lin Yuan's eyes were indifferent, he glanced at her: "Just sleep on the ground; I've already laid out cardboard for you. I also threw you a blanket."

Le Wei'er looked in disbelief at the ground beneath her, those few worn-out cardboards……

"You…… you're letting me sleep on the ground, on cardboard??" Le Wei'er's beautiful chest heaved, she was practically about to explode with anger!!

At the very least she is also a proper Eldest Miss.

As a result, this bastard Lin Yuan actually shows no pity for fragrance and jade??

Actually, making her sleep on cardboard?

This is simply outrageous!

In Le Wei'er's home, the mattresses she usually sleeps on are worth millions!

Result!

How? Having a cardboard bed is already not bad—don't forget your status. You're just a prisoner. Lin Yuan said coldly.

"You..." Le Wei'er broke down in despair.

Finally, she could only lie stiffly on the floor, sleeping angrily.

The night grew darker, and the basement became ever gloomier...

Only a few dim light bulbs overhead emitted a faint glow.

The fermented aroma of the red wine in the cellar mingled with a faint smell of blood, making it especially oppressive.

Lin Yuan leaned against the folding bed, gradually feeling drowsy.

He closed his eyes to rest, then fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, the deep-night silence was shattered by a sudden phone ring.

Lin Yuan instantly opened his eyes, and the drowsiness in his eyes vanished instantly.

He slowly pulled out his phone; when he saw the three characters 'Le Xiao chen' jumping on the screen, the cold smile at the corner of his mouth grew even more intense.

Lin Yuan lifted his gaze and glanced at Le Wei'er on the floor.

"Your dear father finally called."

Swish! Upon hearing that, Le Wei'er anxiously sprang up from the ground.
