The sun was high in the sky.
Lin Gantang sat in the car, her gaze following Zhou Manbaiâs car keys.
She was in a very dangerous situation right now. If Zhou Manbai changed her mind and stepped on the accelerator, she would definitely fall off the cliff.
She had to leave the car or get her keys.
But neither was easy.
Zhou Manbai was talking about the terms of the deal, but she did not hide her act of kidnapping. She did not even hide her face as she stood before her.
Either she wasnât afraid, or Zhou Manbai didnât want her to live at all, so she wasnât worried that she would find out her identity as a kidnapper.
Lin Gantangâs heart sank.
She called out, âAuntie Zhou.â
âAuntie? Heh.â Zhou Manbai walked to her side. âNow you know to call me Auntie Zhou. Let me tell you, itâs useless. Just wait quietly!â
âAuntie Zhou, you donât have to be so hostile towards me. Iâve already been kidnapped by you and I didnât get involved in the Wen familyâs matters at all. So you shouldnât vent your anger on me.â Lin Gantang lowered her voice, trying to make herself look weak and harmless.
Zhou Manbai laughed coldly. âJust blame your luck. Wen Yanqing likes you. If Wen Yanqing didnât care about you, I wouldnât have kidnapped you.â
âYouâve already kidnapped me. Can you give me something to eat? Iâm so hungry,â Lin Gantang pleaded.
âStay hungry! You wonât die if you starve for a day or two!â Zhou Manbai cursed.
Zhou Manbai remained unmoved and fiercely closed the car door.
Time ticked by.
Lin Gantang was locked up from dawn till dusk. She looked at the shadows under the trees outside the car and estimated the time.
24 hours was almost up. Zhou Manbai would definitely contact Wen Yanqing again to inform him of the time and place of the transaction. After that, in order to avoid being tracked, she would definitely continue to change locations.
She wondered if the next location would have such good escape conditions.
âOuch.â Lin Gantang bent over and curled up, crying out in pain.
âDonât play any tricks!â Zhou Manbai stepped forward and warned viciously.
âIâm not playing tricks. My stomach hurts due to hunger.â Lin Gantang bit her lip and leaned weakly against the car seat. âAuntie Zhou, give me something to eat. Itâs okay if I donât eat. The child in my stomach canât take it.â
âChild?â Zhou Manbaiâs expression changed.
Lin Gantang didnât answer.
Zhou Manbaiâs eyes flashed. The two of them had been together for a long time, so it was normal for them to be with child. Wen Yanqingâs child? Zhou Manbai laughed out loud. The earlier conditions were for getting Lin Gantang back, but getting the child back was yet another set of conditions!
âI regret it, Wen Yanqing.â Zhou Manbai dialed Wen Yanqingâs number. With a stern expression, she said, âIf you want to protect your child, what I stated regarding the company and my brother are not enough. Bring the money and come alone tonight. What happens next? Do as I say!â
She wanted to see how he would choose between his child and himself!
Zhou Manbaiâs location was once again locked on by this call.
âThe location is displayed on the main mountain of Mount Wanfu.â
âThereâs no change in their positions this time. Are they still in the same place? Superintendent Chen, should we get the police out immediately?â
âChild?â Lin Zhaonan suddenly looked at Wen Yanqing.
âThereâs none.â Tangtangâs period had just passed. How could there be a child? Wen Yanqing tried his best to maintain his composure. âTangtang is stalling her.â
Wen Yanqing felt that every second of waiting was extremely long. He wanted to rush to Lin Gantangâs side to resolve the danger and save her from harm as soon as possible.
The bulging veins on the back of his hand showed the anxiety he felt despite his calm exterior. However, Chen Tian noticed the subtle change in his expression and held him back. âMr. Wen, the information you provided is very important to the police. I hope you wonât act alone..â
