The sun was high in the sky.
Lin Gantang sat in the car, her gaze following Zhou Manbai’s 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 wasn’t afraid, or Zhou Manbai didn’t want her to live at all, so she wasn’t worried that she would find out her identity as a kidnapper.
Lin Gantang’s heart sank.
She called out, “Auntie Zhou.”
“Auntie? Heh.” Zhou Manbai walked to her side. “Now you know to call me Auntie Zhou. Let me tell you, it’s useless. Just wait quietly!”
“Auntie Zhou, you don’t have to be so hostile towards me. I’ve already been kidnapped by you and I didn’t get involved in the Wen family’s matters at all. So you shouldn’t vent your anger on me.” Lin Gantang lowered her voice, trying to make herself look weak and harmless.
Zhou Manbai laughed coldly. “Just blame your luck. Wen Yanqing likes you. If Wen Yanqing didn’t care about you, I wouldn’t have kidnapped you.”
“You’ve already kidnapped me. Can you give me something to eat? I’m so hungry,” Lin Gantang pleaded.
“Stay hungry! You won’t die if you starve for a day or two!” 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.
“Ouch.” Lin Gantang bent over and curled up, crying out in pain.
“Don’t play any tricks!” Zhou Manbai stepped forward and warned viciously.
“I’m not playing tricks. My stomach hurts due to hunger.” Lin Gantang bit her lip and leaned weakly against the car seat. “Auntie Zhou, give me something to eat. It’s okay if I don’t eat. The child in my stomach can’t take it.”
“Child?” Zhou Manbai’s expression changed.
Lin Gantang didn’t answer.
Zhou Manbai’s eyes flashed. The two of them had been together for a long time, so it was normal for them to be with child. Wen Yanqing’s 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!
“I regret it, Wen Yanqing.” Zhou Manbai dialed Wen Yanqing’s number. With a stern expression, she said, “If 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!”
She wanted to see how he would choose between his child and himself!
Zhou Manbai’s location was once again locked on by this call.
“The location is displayed on the main mountain of Mount Wanfu.”
“There’s no change in their positions this time. Are they still in the same place? Superintendent Chen, should we get the police out immediately?”
“Child?” Lin Zhaonan suddenly looked at Wen Yanqing.
“There’s none.” Tangtang’s period had just passed. How could there be a child? Wen Yanqing tried his best to maintain his composure. “Tangtang is stalling her.”
Wen Yanqing felt that every second of waiting was extremely long. He wanted to rush to Lin Gantang’s 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. “Mr. Wen, the information you provided is very important to the police. I hope you won’t act alone..”
