"Come in and take her away."

Two burly kidnappers came in, picked up Jiang Mubai like a chicken, and left the warehouse.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Mubai woke up in a daze.

“Ahem~.”

Ice-cold water poured down on Jiang Mubai's head without any warning. He couldn't help coughing and his body trembled.

"Awake?" A deep and hoarse voice sounded in my ears.

Jiang Mubai opened her eyes with difficulty, and saw a burly man with a fleshy face sitting in front of her, holding a bucket of water in his hand, looking at her with interest.

"Who are you?" Jiang Mubai's voice was hoarse and weak.

The man sneered: "You should ask yourself who you are. How dare you be so arrogant after falling into my hands."

Jiang Mubai was about to speak when some fragments suddenly flashed through her mind. She suddenly widened her eyes and looked at the man in front of her in disbelief: "I...Ming...Minglin? Why is it you?"

Ming Lin was once a well-known ruthless character in the underworld. Jiang Mubai saved his life in an accident, and the two became acquainted with each other. Later, Ming Lin retired from the underworld and opened a security company. Jiang Mubai also patronized his business.

Ming Lin looked at Jiang Mubai's shocked expression and snorted coldly: "What? Are you surprised? When I was desperate, you didn't look like this now!"

Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Minglin, I saved your life back then, and this is how you repay me?"

"Stop talking nonsense to me! Let me ask you, where is the prescription that the Li family researched?" Ming Lin interrupted her impatiently.

"What prescription?" Jiang Mubai looked confused.

Ming Lin slammed the table and yelled, "Stop pretending! I know you have the thing! Hand it over if you know what's best for you, otherwise..."

Jiang Mubai looked at the hideous-looking man in front of him and felt sad. The once loyal Ming Lin had now turned into a man who looked like neither human nor ghost.

"Minglin, calm down. I really don't know what prescription you are talking about. You must have made a mistake." Jiang Mubai forced himself to remain calm.

Ming Lin seemed to have heard a big joke. He grabbed Jiang Mubai's hair, forced her to look up, and said with gritted teeth: "Did you make a mistake? Jiang Mubai, do you think I'm still the fool you fooled me with? I'm telling you, if you fall into my hands this time, don't even think about getting out alive!"

A severe pain came from her scalp, and Jiang Mubai gasped in pain, but she knew that she must not show weakness now.

"Ming Lin, let me go! I can give you anything you want, but I really don't have what you want!" Jiang Mubai endured the pain and glared at Ming Lin.

Ming Lin looked at Jiang Mubai's stubborn expression, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

"You'd better not lie to me! I'll give you one last chance. Where is the prescription?" Ming Lin let go of Jiang Mubai, his tone grim.

Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.

"I really don't know what you are talking about, Minglin. I know you are in a difficult situation now, but you can't keep making the same mistake again and again! Go away, I won't call the police." Jiang Mubai shook his head with a firm tone.

Ming Lin narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Mubai like a wolf smelling its prey.

His rough big hands rubbed his chin hard, as if he was thinking about something. Silence spread between the two of them, and a suffocating depression filled the air.

Ming Lin suddenly sneered and broke the silence: "Ha! Jiang Mubai, Jiang Mubai, you are still as sharp-tongued as before. But do you think I will still believe your lies?"

He stood up suddenly, walked to the corner of the room, picked up an old-fashioned keypad phone, and the screen lit up. The dim light shone on his fleshy face, making him look even more eerie.

Ming Lin lowered his voice, with a hint of flattery in his tone: "Hey, it's me, yes, yes, I have caught the person, but she is very stubborn and refuses to say anything. Yes, I understand, don't worry, I will definitely pry her mouth open!"

Ming Lin hung up the phone, turned around, and stared at Jiang Mubai with a cold gaze. He threw the phone roughly on the table, making a dull sound.

"Don't waste your energy, Minglin. I told you, I really don't know the prescription. You got the wrong person." Jiang Mubai looked at him coldly, without a trace of emotion in his tone.

Ming Lin seemed to have heard a big joke. He strode to Jiang Mubai, leaned down suddenly, and forced her to look at him: "Caught the wrong person? Jiang Mubai, don't think I don't know your little cleverness! Do you think you can get away with this by pretending to be stupid?"

A strong smell of alcohol hit her face, and Jiang Mubai frowned in disgust, but she still met Ming Lin's gaze without fear.

"Minglin, I'll say it one last time. I really don't know what you are talking about. If you don't believe me, you can search me." Jiang Mubai's tone was calm, but with an unquestionable firmness.

Ming Lin was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Jiang Mubai to say such a thing. He stood up, looked Jiang Mubai up and down, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

Taking advantage of Ming Lin's distraction, Jiang Mubai quietly observed the layout of the room. This was an abandoned warehouse with windows sealed with wooden boards. There was only a rusty iron door. There should be someone guarding the door.

There were some miscellaneous items piled in the room, and there was a shabby wooden table and a few chairs in the corner.

"Body search? Jiang Mubai, who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?" Ming Lin sneered. He grabbed Jiang Mubai's chin roughly and forced her to raise her head.

"Let me go! Minglin, you'd better understand. Now you are not begging me, but I am giving you a chance!" Jiang Mubai waved Minglin's hand away and glared at the hateful man in front of him.

Ming Lin was shocked by Jiang Mubai's aura. He was stunned for a moment, then became angry and raised his hand to slap Jiang Mubai.

"You dare!" Jiang Mubai stared at Ming Lin fearlessly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Minglin's hand froze in mid-air, but finally he slowly let it go. He took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart.

Ming Lin gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, very good! Jiang Mubai, you have guts!"

He turned abruptly, walked to the corner of the room, picked up an old-fashioned touch-tone phone, and dialed a number.

"Hey, boss, I've caught the person, but she refuses to speak." Ming Lin lowered his voice, with a hint of respect and fear in his tone.

Jiang Mubai looked at Ming Lin's back coldly, thinking about a plan to escape in her mind. She knew that now was not the time to confront Ming Lin head-on. She had to stay calm and find a suitable opportunity.

Ming Lin hung up the phone in annoyance and looked at Jiang Mubai with a gloomy look.
