Chapter 118: The Uneven Split Leads to a Fight

~9 min read 1,737 words

Shi Youxuan took the opportunity to ask for the Rope on her body to be untied; it was tied too tightly and was too uncomfortable, as if the blood all over her body had frozen and could no longer move.

The man agreed to her request quite readily; it was very desolate here anyway, so he wasn't afraid of her running away even if he loosened it!

After the Rope was untied, she moved her sore arms and stood up to walk a few steps; although she was not yet completely free, it was much better.

During this time, the man's phone kept ringing, but he rejected every call.

He hadn't yet decided exactly how much money he wanted, or how to get it back from Sheng Hanyu.

Shi Youxuan gave him an idea, imitating what she saw on television, to have Sheng Hanyu send the money to a designated place and then he would go pick it up.

After picking it up, he would tell Sheng Hanyu where she was being held, and then he could take the money and leave; wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?

"Fine, we'll do as you say."

Shi Youxuan had considered all the kidnapper's concerns thoroughly and even solved his problems for him; now he had no worries and only wanted to get the money quickly so he could fly far away!

He wanted to take Shi Youxuan away to trade with Sheng Hanyu in a place where no one else was around; just as the two were preparing to leave, Gao Laosan returned.

"Boss, why did you untie her Rope? Could it be..." Gao Laosan began to let his imagination run wild.

"Don't talk nonsense, the time for us brothers to get rich has arrived."

The boss briefly told Gao Laosan about Shi Youxuan's identity and what they were about to do, and Gao Laosan was also very happy.

The risks of being a human trafficker and a kidnapper were the same, but the profits were worlds apart; this was a very profitable deal, and only a fool wouldn't do it.

Gao Laosan even cursed at Daobalian for being dishonest, saying that he didn't take advantage of such a good opportunity to get rich and instead wanted them to sell her into the mountains...

Gao Laosan's return did not change the plan, which made Shi Youxuan secretly heave a sigh of relief.

Sheng Hanyu's phone finally got through; the boss negotiated with Sheng Hanyu according to what Shi Youxuan had taught him, only the amount was increased by another ten million, asking Sheng Hanyu for a thirty-million ransom!

Originally, he was worried that the other party wouldn't agree to such a high amount, but Sheng Hanyu agreed immediately without even a moment's hesitation; after finishing the call, he regretted asking for too little money.

The boss demanded that Sheng Hanyu put the money into a trash can.

Shi Youxuan reminded him: "It won't fit; thirty million in cash, even if it's all hundred-dollar bills, weighs nearly a thousand pounds."

She used her hands to gesture an area: "It would be a pile this big; there isn't a trash can that large, it won't fit." Her voice was clearly transmitted into the ears of the few people through the receiver.

That's right, it was Yingzi.

The voice was hers, and the way of speaking was too.

In this world, apart from her, there would probably be no second person who would "offer advice" to the kidnappers who had abducted her.

Yingzi was quirky and clever; such a thing was only something she could do.

"Beep, beep, beep..."

A busy signal came from the phone again.

The kidnapper hung up the phone again and complained to Shi Youxuan: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

He only knew that thirty million would be enough for the two of them to live lavishly for a lifetime, but he hadn't thought about how big a pile that amount of money would be.

Shi Youxuan spread her hands innocently: "You didn't ask me."

Now that the money was no longer an issue, where to put the money once it was delivered had become the problem.

Shi Youxuan gave the two an idea: "Why not transfer it? Cash is too much trouble, such a big pile is hard to carry."

Gao Laosan objected: "No way, Boss, we can't do a transfer; a transfer is evidence, the police could catch us at any time."

"Right, no transfers, we can't listen to her on this."

The two were alert and couldn't decide where to have the money delivered for the moment, so they prepared to take her away from here and hide in a place where Daobalian couldn't find them.

The person was kidnapped by Daobalian, and he didn't want a cut of the profit, only one condition: sell this woman into the mountains so she could never be found again.

They had promised him, but now that they were preparing to go back on their word, they couldn't meet with Daobalian again.

Just as they were about to leave, Daobalian appeared!

He was about fifty years old, with a face full of fat and a murderous look in his eyes.

His large floral shirt was wide open, and the gold chain around his neck was about as thick as a dog leash.

"Where are you going?" Daobalian suddenly appeared in front of the three, giving the boss and Gao Laosan a fright.

Gao Laosan was the first to lose his nerve, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he showed his fear: "Dao, Brother Dao, we're not going anywhere, hehe, we're not going anywhere..."

The boss remained relatively calm and prevaricated: "We're taking her out to be sold; we just contacted a buyer and were about to head out. Brother Dao, didn't you hand her over to us? You've appeared suddenly, you aren't going back on your word, are you?" As he spoke, he reached toward his lower back.

A Dagger was tucked into his waistband; if they could talk things out, that was fine, but if they couldn't reach an agreement, he would use the Dagger to do the talking.

When Shi Youxuan saw Daobalian, she understood who the mastermind was—Jiang Yadan; there was no one else but her.

Daobalian often went to the Shi Family, but every time he went, it was when Shi Yucheng was not around; the two were card-playing partners, and there was another layer to their relationship—they were lovers!

Even Yuke didn't know about this, but Shi Youxuan did.

Because she was a "fool," Jiang Yadan didn't guard against her when she dated Daobalian at home.

"Don't move."

Daobalian's hand was faster; in an instant, a cold, gleaming Dagger appeared in his hand, gesturing at the three: "Go back; don't think your little tricks can fool me."

"Contacted a buyer? I'm afraid you two just want to take her away to trade for big money, right? Not a chance... go back, all of you go back."

Before arriving here, Daobalian had gone to see his old flame, and Jiang Yadan had warned him not to be careless; Shi Youxuan had been pretending to be a fool under her nose for many years without revealing a single flaw.

This showed that the woman was extremely cunning; if he left her with those two, she would likely pull some tricks, so she had him come over to keep an eye on things.

When he arrived, he discovered something was wrong, so he used the Dagger to force the three back into the room with bare walls and also confiscated the phones from those two.

The call logs hadn't been deleted, and the numbers were still local; Daobalian discovered the two had ulterior motives and immediately turned hostile.

After being discovered by Daobalian, the two initially tried to pull him into this "deal" as well.

But Daobalian had no interest in the "deal"; he told the two to get lost, claiming that their cooperation ended there.

Did he think he could just end it whenever he said so?

The boss and Gao Laosan didn't agree; that was thirty million, and it was just going to disappear? Absolutely not.

Ginza Building.

After the call was cut off, the few people waited patiently; they originally thought another call would come in a few minutes, but after waiting twenty minutes, there was still nothing.

However, the signal source was found; it was in an unfinished building in the suburbs.

Sheng Hanyu immediately had his men go to the unfinished building to search, and the few people in the office could not sit still either, so they all went over together to look for the person.

……

Shi Youxuan hid behind a pillar; the few people in front were already fighting, and it was hard to tell who would win.

She hoped those two human traffickers would win, but Daobalian was ruthless and did not fall behind even while fighting two people at once, so it was truly hard to say who would win or lose.

No matter how fierce Daobalian was, he did not have the advantage in age, and furthermore, the others were two against one, so he gradually began to lose ground.

"Brother Dao, if you let us go, we won't make things difficult for you, how about that?" The leader stopped his hand and began to negotiate terms with him.

They were all people who mixed in the underworld, and Daobalian was famous for being ruthless; he also did not want to take things too far.

Leave a way out for others, so that you may meet again in the future.

"Fine!"

Daobalian also stopped his hand, panting with exhaustion: "You go, leave that woman behind, and I will let bygones be bygones regarding this matter."

"No way, that woman must come with me; she was supposed to come with us from the start. Anything else can be discussed, but not this," the leader was particularly resolute.

If it weren't for Daobalian popping up halfway, he would probably have already received the money by now.

Thirty million; if it weren't for this money acting as motivation, he would not have dared to go head-to-head with Daobalian.

"Then let's fight; today, none of you will leave here alive!" A fierce light appeared in Daobalian's eyes as he prepared to risk his life.
