Chapter 364: 360. Your Daughter Is in My Hands (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)

Siyan paid the money very readily, and seeing that she didn't look the least bit pained, as if she were just handing over four or five hundred yuan, the crazy idea in Tian Ge's mind could no longer be suppressed.

"Thanks, beauty. If there's nothing else, we'll be going now," Tian Ge said with a smile.

Siyan didn't want to pay him any mind, only pulling on Li Mingli's hand while urging her about something.

"Tian Ge, I'll go see you off," Li Daliang said hurriedly.

Hearing these words, a flash of mockery and despair appeared in Li Mingli's eyes once again!

Is this really to see Tian Ge off?

This damn thing is obviously to go split the loot!

Downstairs, Li Daliang rubbed his hands impatiently and said, "That, Tian Ge, you see... about that..."

"Don't worry, this one million is all yours; I won't take a single cent," Tian Ge said heroically.

"Thank you, Tian Ge! Thank you, Tian Ge!" Li Daliang said, suddenly overjoyed.

Tian Ge pulled Li Daliang to a secluded spot and asked in a low voice, "Daliang, tell me the truth: is this person really just a displaced resident?"

"Definitely. Before, the family was dirt poor; when we were in school, my daughter even had to help her out often. It's only been in these last two years that things have gotten better," Li Daliang said.

Having received a definitive answer, and coupled with Siyan's earlier phone call, Tian Ge hardened his heart and whispered to Li Daliang, "Daliang, do you want an opportunity to make big money?"

"What big money? How much?" Li Daliang said dismissively; he had one million now, after all.

"A hundred-million-yuan business!" Tian Ge said, licking his lips.

Li Daliang was startled. "How much?"

"A hundred million! Maybe more than a hundred million, possibly even two hundred million!" A crazy light flickered in Tian Ge's eyes.

Li Daliang wasn't a fool; he immediately understood what Tian Ge meant.

"You want to... No, absolutely not..." Li Daliang shook his head hurriedly.

Tian Ge suddenly wrapped his arm tightly around his neck and whispered, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Their family has money but no connections, and even less influence. As long as we aren't caught on the spot, we'll basically be fine."

"But this is kidnapping, and she is my daughter's friend," Li Daliang said.

"Heh, how much is a friend worth? Once this succeeds, even if we split it equally, you'll have at least twenty million. With twenty million, where can't you live well?

If it's more, you might even get fifty million. Think about it carefully."

"And don't worry, we don't have much else here, but we have plenty of mountains and forests. When the time comes, we'll just hide in the woods for a year or a year and a half. Who will remember us then?

Also, I know a very safe place where absolutely nothing will go wrong. I've told you the method, and you've heard it—her father is coming over tonight. If they all gather together by then, we won't have a chance."

Tian Ge's words were like a devil's whisper, echoing incessantly in Li Daliang's mind.

Fifty million!

If he could get his hands on that, then...

This number destroyed the last shred of his humanity!

"Siyan, I'm kneeling to you, thank you, thank you." Li Mingli's mother began to kneel while crying.

Siyan hurriedly pulled her up and said, "Auntie, what are you doing? Lili is my sister; this little thing is nothing."

"Lili has a hard life; it's my fault for failing her," Li Mingli's mother said while weeping.

It took a long while of comforting before the auntie calmed down, and then Siyan checked the time and said, "Let's go, I'll treat you all to a meal."

"Don't do that, let me treat you to a meal. You've helped me so much, let me host," Li Daliang said as he walked in at this moment.

Li Mingli said sarcastically, "Got money now, so you aren't going to gamble?"

"What money? I won't gamble anymore from now on; I'll honestly earn money to pay off my debts," Li Daliang put on an appearance of extreme regret.

Seeing him like this, Li Mingli sneered, "Stop acting. Tomorrow you go divorce my mom, and from now on we will have nothing to do with each other!"

The first time, Li Mingli believed him; the second time, Li Mingli still believed him; the third time, she believed him too. This was already who knows how many times, and Li Mingli no longer believed him!

Hearing her words, a flash of ferocity appeared in Li Daliang's eyes, but he immediately said with a smile, "What nonsense are you talking about? Let's go, let's go, I'll treat you to a meal."

Siyan thought about it and agreed; she also planned to properly urge Li Daliang later.

But she didn't know that once a person becomes a gambler and is deeply trapped, ninety-nine percent of them are no longer the person they once were. They can't turn back, and they don't want to turn back; anyone who urges them to turn back is an enemy!

In the evening, Li Daliang found a restaurant; the location was a bit remote and quite dilapidated.

"Siyan, sorry, having you here, it's really because Uncle doesn't have much money left," Li Daliang said, appearing to be in a predicament.

Siyan said nonchalantly, "It's fine, Uncle, we aren't picky."

Don't let the small size of the restaurant fool you; it still had the private rooms that it should have.

At the dinner table, Li Daliang kept urging them to drink. Siyan thought about it and had two glasses, thinking she would take advantage of the alcohol to try and persuade Li Daliang.

Everyone at the table drank alcohol; Li Mingli also drank quite a bit, either to keep Siyan company or to vent the pent-up emotions in her heart.

But after drinking for about half an hour, everyone felt their heads growing dizzy. At first, they thought it was the alcohol and didn't pay it any mind, but very quickly, one by one, they all collapsed.

Seeing this scene, Li Daliang's eyes immediately flashed with an excited light, and he hurriedly sent out a message.

Very quickly, Tian Ge arrived with three lackeys and carried everyone out. From start to finish, no one had come out of this small restaurant.

The group was placed into a car as if they were drunk, and even if one or two people passed by, they didn't pay any attention.

"Haha, it's done. Drive quickly, we're leaving now," Tian Ge said, both nervous and excited; this was his first time doing this.

"Take all their phones out," Tian Ge ordered.

Siyan and the others' phones were all in their bags and were easy to find. However, Tian Ge first used facial recognition to unlock Siyan's phone, then noted down the contact labeled 'Dad' at the top of the recent calls, though he didn't throw her phone away.

After leaving the city, Tian Ge used Siyan's phone to make the call.

"Hello, Siyan, are you finished eating?" Zhang Ran asked casually when he saw Siyan calling.

But he heard a man's voice instead: "Your daughter is in my hands. I only want money, not her life."

Zhang Ran stood up with a start, his expression turning terrifyingly gloomy. "Who are you? Why should I believe you?"

"Heh, I'll send you a photo in a moment. Right, remember: don't call the police. After all, if something goes wrong, don't blame me." After saying that, the other side hung up the phone.
