The eldest daughter is committing suicide, and the marriage partner comes to redeem her

"Be good and don't put up any unnecessary resistance. We just want to get the money and won't do anything to hurt you."

After saying this, Jiang Ruoli and Shen Zhiyan were pushed into the basement, and the iron door that didn't look very sturdy slammed shut.

They were not blindfolded when they came in, so they could see the surroundings. This should be an abandoned house built by villagers, a three-story building, deep in the Xiangbishan area, with the mountain behind and the water in front.

The basement where they were imprisoned was probably used as a storage room in the past.

Because no one had lived there for a long time, or perhaps because of the terrain and climate, the entire basement was filled with a fishy smell, as well as an inexplicable smell of animal carcasses that came from nowhere and was unbearable.

The two kidnappers left after throwing them here, probably to the living room on the first floor. The sound of footsteps came from the ceiling which was not very soundproof.

At this moment, Shen Zhiyan and Jiang Ruoli were sitting on the dirty ground with their backs against a shabby sofa.

Even though the temperature in the port city is not as high as in the river city, at this season, the temperature here is not suitable as it is located in the mountains.

A cold and damp feeling rose from the ground and lingered around the body.

"Lili, it's all because of me that you got implicated."

Shen Zhiyan's tired almond eyes were red. The slap just now hurt her face badly. It was swollen and shocking. She looked so delicate and pitiful that anyone who saw her would feel distressed.

Jiang Ruoli's gaze dropped from her little face. Shen Zhiyan's slender white wrist was stained with a little dust. The jade bracelet was gone, leaving only a string of Buddhist beads.

"Don't blame yourself. Be thankful that we were tied up together. At least this way, we can take care of each other."

Jiang Ruoli was also scared, but she pretended to be calm and comforted Shen Zhiyan.

"The signal just now should have been sent out. I don't know if Li Yanzhou and the others can find us as soon as possible. What we need to do is to delay time and protect ourselves."

It is estimated that Pei Zigui has received the news a long time ago, but the distance between Singapore and Hong Kong City is such that it will take time even if you travel as fast as possible.

She must wait for Pei Zigui to return safely.

Although Shen Zhiyan's guilt had not disappeared, Jiang Ruoli's words calmed her down a lot. Her almond eyes wavered, and she said firmly:

"Li Yanzhou will definitely find us, definitely."

She didn't know where this intuition came from, but she just believed it.

The basement door was kicked open again, and Leopard and Grid walked in one after another with two boxes of lunch and closed the door.

With two bangs, the lunch box fell to the ground.

To be precise, in front of the two women.

Then Leopard squatted down with a meaningful smile on his face.

"Who of you two will eat first?"

He tapped the edge of the lunch box with the disposable chopsticks in his hand, showing some impatience. It seemed that he was looking forward to the drama of two beauties fighting for him to fill their stomachs.

Who would have thought that Jiang Ruoli and Shen Zhiyan turned their heads to the sides at the same time, as if they had agreed on it.

Jiang Ruoli: "What kind of pig food is this? I won't eat it. Yanyan, are you hungry?"

Shen Zhiyan: "No appetite."

The two chatted as if no one was around, not paying any attention to Leopard Print. The fragile man broke his defense and sneered:

"You don't want to eat, right? If you starve to death at night, no one will feed you even if you scream and scream."

"But if you beg me to call me brother, I can consider feeding you some steamed buns. After all, who would want to see a beautiful woman suffer?"

Leopard's dishonest hand tapped Jiang Ruoli's right cheek and Shen Zhiyan's left cheek with chopsticks.

His malicious gaze fell on Shen Zhiyan's red and swollen face, and he said sarcastically: "Oh, why is your face getting more and more swollen? Isn't this heartbreaking for your brother?"

Shen Zhiyan turned her head away and avoided the touch of the leopard print brother.

Jiang Ruoli stared with angry eyes, pursed his lips, and was about to explode with anger.

As expected, the eldest lady spat directly at the leopard print boy.

"If you dare to touch us again, you'll have your hands chopped off!"

The reason why Jiang Ruoli dared to do this was that he was sure that the two kidnappers would not dare to do anything to them. After all, the mastermind behind them had not yet appeared and had not issued any further instructions, so they were still useful.

Leopard was so angry that he threw the lunch box in his hand away. When had he ever been treated like this by a woman?

"You really don't want to live anymore, right?"

The hands that slapped Shen Zhiyan directly grabbed Jiang Ruoli's neck.

The woman's face flushed instantly, her feet struggled on the ground, gritting her teeth, unable to make any sound. But there was no fear in her eyes.

Shen Zhiyan's eyes turned red with anxiety. She tried her best to suppress her trembling voice, and there was a hint of warning in her eyes when she looked at Leopard Pattern:

"She is the wife of the president of Pei's company, the wife that Pei Zigui married in a formal ceremony, and the eldest daughter of Jiangcheng Jiang's family, Jiang Ruoli. If you are not afraid, go ahead. But don't even think about using me to achieve your goals, because..."

There was a hint of determination in her eyes: "If she gets hurt, I would rather die than do what you wish."

Brother Gezi, who had been eating calmly and not caring about the matter, finally raised his head. He put down his chopsticks and said in a cold voice, "Come back and eat."

The pressure on her neck gradually disappeared, and Jiang Ruoli knew that she had made the right bet. They really didn't dare to do anything to them.

Just now, while struggling, she hooked a piece of celadon fragment with her foot.

That's right, there were several vases and porcelains in this basement, lying all over the place, and there happened to be a broken piece of porcelain next to Leopard's feet, which he accidentally kicked from a distance.

Jiang Ruoli moved the piece of celadon fragment to his side bit by bit and held it in his hand with difficulty.

Leopard returned to the shabby table and sat down, eating the lunch box in his hand face to face with Brother Grid.

"When will Master Li come?"

"Said it would be a while."

The two didn't say much and continued to eat their dinner.

Although the food doesn’t look delicious (and it actually isn’t), it tastes very good.

Jiang Ruoli said that she was just pretending not to eat or feel hungry. After walking around for an afternoon, she was almost going crazy with hunger.

"I haven't had the chance to eat at the Cantonese restaurant in Central yet. I want to try smoked pigeon with sugarcane juice, spicy Alaskan king crab with fried rice rolls, apricot juice, egg white and yam soup, and grilled lion head fish."

The more Jiang Ruoli thought about it, the sadder he became. He sobbed softly and then burst into tears: "Wow, wow, wow, and I haven't even tried the legendary spicy oysters with preserved eggs! Damn you old bald ass!"

Leopard was sitting aside eating his lunch box, listening to Jiang Ruoli listing a long list of dishes. He already felt bad in his mouth, and when he heard these words, he instantly became angry.

"Brother, we are not old, are we? Besides, where is the baldness? This woman is just talking nonsense!"

Leopard threw the lunch box in his hand away, stood up and walked straight towards Jiang Ruoli.

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you want to do? I didn't scold you."

The old bald donkey was naturally referring to Master Li Erye.

"Who are you scolding, then?"

"Whoever is bald should be scolded. Why would you be so defensive if you are not bald? Are you suffering from paranoia? You are probably hungry in this situation. Go eat quickly."

Seeing that Leopard was still glaring at him fiercely, Jiang Ruoli's momentum weakened, and he said faintly: "Is it not okay if I don't say anything?"

Just as the leopard-print kid was about to speak, he heard footsteps coming from upstairs, followed by three crisp taps like a cane.

Brother Gezi glanced at the ceiling, stood up with a serious face and said, "The Second Master is here."
