Xia Ruya was taken to a demolished building. The room was dark and filled with a damp and sour stench that made her almost vomit.
Her hands and feet were tied up and she couldn't move at all. A smelly sock was stuffed in her mouth. The dirty smell was unbearable for her, but she could do nothing about it.
She sat on the bumpy concrete floor, her back pressed tightly against the mottled wall. The pain from the beating tortured her all the time. She wanted to escape... but she couldn't.
She had been here for two days. Her handbag and high heels had been stripped away, and her clothes were already dirty and messy. Ever since she was kidnapped, no one knew what these men were thinking. Apart from taking care of her for food, drink, and the occasional use of her to vent their anger, they didn't care much about her.
She guessed that the other party was holding back her sexual desire.
The harder she held it in, the more afraid she became, and the more her emotions collapsed, the easier it would be for her to get more money.
The four men who kidnapped her were sitting in front of a shabby table playing poker. They would pick their nostrils from time to time, and wipe the dirty boogers directly on the table. Sometimes they would pick their ears and rub the disgusting earwax directly on their bodies. They kept swearing and cursing, without any manners at all.
Whenever she thought about being in the same room with such a person, she felt like screaming.
At this time, the red-haired man's cell phone rang.
"Let's continue playing. I'm going to go out and answer a call." The red-haired man stood up from the chairs with his phone in his hand and walked towards the door.
Xia Ruya was startled and almost subconsciously closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, for fear that the other party would find out that she was awake and beat her up. She had had enough of this past few days.
When the red-haired man passed by Xia Ruya, he kicked her hard and spat at her: "Bitch!"
Xia Ruya endured the pain in her body and didn't dare to breathe. She just listened to the footsteps going away and then she breathed a sigh of relief. However, her heart was filled with despair.
At this time, the voice of the red-haired man talking on the phone could be faintly heard outside.
An idea came to her mind, and she put her ear against the wall and listened attentively. The red-haired man's voice was a little vague, as if it was there and not there, so she could not hear it clearly.
"I have kidnapped her as you requested. What do you mean? You made us wait for two days without giving us any definite news." The red-haired man was very angry and yelled into the phone.
Someone had approached him before, gave him 200,000 yuan, and asked him to kidnap a woman named Xia Ruya. He heard that Xia Ruya was the adopted daughter of the Wen family and the illegitimate daughter of the Xia family. However, ever since it was revealed that she had helped Ning Shuqian plot against the Wen family and deal with the eldest daughter of the Wen family, she had been abandoned by the Wen family, and the Xia family also severed ties with her.
He couldn't help but be greatly moved. An orphan like her with no background could be kidnapped at will. As long as they got the money, they would run away and live a life of wealth and glory and happiness.
So he took his brothers and kidnapped Xia Ruya.
However, he was careful and did not tell his brothers about this matter. After the matter was accomplished, he gave them a small amount of money to get rid of them. He had already done his best.
No one wants to put the money they earn into other people's hands.
He's not that stupid yet.
The person on the other end of the phone quickly comforted him, "Xia Ruya is a cunning woman. I did this just to appease her temper. This way she will cooperate with us, and then it will be easier for us to get the money."
The kidnapping of Xia Ruya went smoothly. The next step was to plan how to make Xia Ruya hand over the money.
He checked and found that most of the funds in Xia Ruya's hands were real estate and jewelry. The real estate was kept by the lawyer and the jewelry was kept in the bank. These two things could not be touched at all.
He then turned his attention to those stock funds and the reality in the card!
He roughly calculated that the total amount of money was a huge sum.
The red-haired man's tone softened. "We have followed your instructions for the past two days and have been beating her up from time to time. She is now on the verge of a breakdown. Your plan will soon be implemented."
The person on the other end of the phone was very satisfied with him: "Don't worry, you will definitely get the benefits after the matter is done."
The red-haired man screamed, "Benefits, what benefits? Don't think you can get rid of me with just two hundred thousand dollars. What we did is illegal. If we are not careful, we will end up in jail."
He didn't know beforehand that Xia Ruya had a huge sum of money. Now that he knew, greed arose in his heart. How could a mere 200,000 yuan satisfy his appetite
"This was already agreed upon before, do you want to go back on your word?" The person on the other end of the phone did not expect him to go back on his word, and for a moment he gnashed his teeth and cursed in his heart: Haven't you done enough illegal things? Stealing, kidnapping, trafficking young girls, and reselling poisonous words, which one of them doesn't get you jailed.
The red-haired man said arrogantly, "I didn't know Xia Ruya had a huge sum of money beforehand. If I knew... I could have kidnapped her and taken all her property by myself."
The red-haired man's words were already becoming rude and unreasonable.
The person on the other end of the phone was furious and said angrily, "When doing business, you have to be trustworthy. Isn't it too much for you to go back on your word like this?"
The red-haired man said, "You are wrong. We only made a verbal agreement, which can be changed at any time. We haven't signed a contract. I am giving you face by not leaving you alone."
He had never thought of working alone. After all, the money was too big and he was afraid that he could not afford it. The identity of the other party was still unknown and he was afraid that he could not afford to offend him. Small people like them who were in the underworld knew the rules of survival very well.
The two of them worked alone, causing the person on the other end of the phone to be silent for a while, as if he was thinking about what he said.
The red-haired man knew that he had made the right choice, and he immediately shouted, "It's OK or not, just one word, buddy is not someone you can fool."
The person on the other end of the phone took a deep breath and said angrily, "Okay, I'll give you another 100,000 after the matter is done."
The red-haired man immediately got angry: "One hundred thousand... Are you trying to please a beggar? I worked so hard for you, but I can't even get a little bit of hard work compensation... At worst, we can just break up."
The person on the other end of the phone gritted his teeth and said in a hoarse voice, "Three hundred thousand, no more. If you are not satisfied, you can try to work alone. Since I can find you, I naturally know everything about you. Whatever you have done in these years, you will go to jail. Although I am not good enough, it is still easy for me to deal with you little bugs."
This was the red-haired man's weak spot. Although he was unwilling, he still gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay, 500,000 is 500,000. After the matter is done, you can transfer the other 400,000 to my account."
The other party had already paid a deposit of 100,000 yuan.
The two people reached a cooperation in this way.
But he didn't notice that Xia Ruya in the room was shaking violently.
