"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I can bring you the news you want to know."

However, the mysterious person deliberately refused to reveal that he used a voice changer, making it impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman.

"What news?" Jiang Ru was a little stunned, and suddenly felt even more mysterious.

It was obvious that the other party knew her, but Jiang Ru was a little frustrated that she couldn't guess his identity at all.

"You are investigating the sewage inside story, right? I know the clues and I can tell you."

Who knew that the mysterious man would reveal this shocking secret and say that he could give Jiang Ru the answer she wanted.

"How do you know about the sewage? What do you want to do?" Jiang Ru was terrified. She didn't expect that the mysterious person knew the inside story of the sewage and could tell her. However, not many people knew about this matter. Even the police had investigated it, so how could the mysterious person know about it? Where did this information come from?

Jiang Ru felt that there were too many doubts about the mysterious man, but the mysterious man wanted to maintain the mystery and refused to give Jiang Ru an answer.

"You don't need to know anything else. Just know that I'm after money. As long as you bring enough funds, you'll naturally get the information you want."

The mysterious man did not reveal the sewage inside story at the first time, saying that he needed money and asked to bring money with him.

"How much money do you need?" Jiang Ru asked tentatively.

If the mysterious person really knows the inside story, it would be worth spending some money.

"five million!"

The mysterious man directly stated an astronomical figure.

"What?" Jiang Ru was shocked. She didn't expect the mysterious man to ask for such a huge price. Isn't this taking advantage of the situation?

"I don't agree!" Jiang Ru said it was too much. It was a big loss to spend five million to buy a piece of information.

"The police can't find any clues now. Your resort is about to start. If you don't solve it, you will lose more than five million."

The mysterious man gave a kind reminder, but his tone was even more provocative.

Jiang Ru was silent. The mysterious man knew a lot. The apology for the sewage was of vital importance to the resort. If it was not resolved, there was no way to proceed smoothly. It was very likely that all their previous efforts would be wasted.

"Okay, I promise, I'll meet you."

Jiang Ru gritted her teeth and agreed without hesitation. As long as she could successfully find the real culprit behind the scenes, it would be worth it even if it cost five million.

"I know you're a smart person. Come to me at this address. Remember, you have to come alone, otherwise I won't tell you anything."

The mysterious man was very satisfied that Jiang Ru agreed to his request, and then gave Jiang Ru an address. He then specifically reminded Jiang Ru that she must go alone and not call the police.

When Jiang Ru wanted to ask more questions, the caller had already hung up. Jiang Ru's eyes became cold. She agreed to go to the appointment, and also wanted to know who the mysterious man was.

My intuition tells me that this person is not simple.

Jiang Ru specifically came to an open place according to the mysterious man's request.

Why would the mysterious person bring her to such a secret place? Seeing that there was no one around, Jiang Ru was a little scared.

Jiang Ru subconsciously wanted to escape, and prepared to leave after realizing something was wrong.

At this moment, a tall man appeared in front of him, but the man's figure looked familiar.

"Are you the mysterious man?" Jiang Ru knew she couldn't hide anymore. When she saw the person in front of her, she was finally curious about who knew so much about her.

When the mysterious man turned around, he discovered that this person was none other than Zhou Yiran.

"Why is it you? How do you know the inside story of the sewage? Did you instigate this?"

Jiang Ru never thought that the person who called her would be him. Suddenly, she thought that he might be deliberately taking revenge on her. She was a little frightened. She didn't expect that he would harm innocent people just to get revenge on her.

"Don't slander me. What does this matter have to do with me? I just asked you out to meet me. I don't know anything about the inside story of the sewage." Jiang Ru could only think of one possibility, that the sewage incident was related to Zhou Yiran, but he refused to admit it and said that he knew nothing about it.

"If you don't know the truth of the matter, don't waste my time. I'm leaving now!"

Seeing Zhou Yiran refused to admit it, Jiang Ru didn't want to waste time with him and turned around to leave, but Zhou Yiran stopped Jiang Ru. How could he leave when he finally had the chance to meet Jiang Ru alone?

"You are not allowed to leave. You have already come here. Who allowed you to leave?"

Zhou Yiran started cursing and was determined not to let Jiang Ru leave.

"I demand that your assets be returned to me. They were all my money. Otherwise, you are not allowed to leave!"

He directly asked Jiang Ru to return the assets he had betrayed, and he would do anything for money.

"Impossible! You owed me this property in the first place. How could you possibly return it to me? You're simply daydreaming!"

Jiang Ru's voice also turned cold. She didn't expect that he was still dreaming. How could she give this property to Zhou Yiran?

When Zhou Yiran saw that Jiang Ru refused, he completely lost his mind. When Jiang Ru turned around and was about to leave, he took out a knife and put it on Jiang Ru's neck.

Before Jiang Ru could react, she felt an icy cold sensation on her neck, as if it was about to be wiped off her neck in the next second.

Zhou Yiran's eyes were filled with hatred. He stared at Jiang Ru intently and said angrily, "If you don't return the assets to me, I will kill you now."

"Calm down. If you kill me, you'll go to jail too. It's not worth it for that little bit of assets!"

Jiang Ru didn't expect that he would be so crazy. Did he call her to this place just to kidnap her?

Jiang Ru's voice was trembling with fear, but she didn't dare to act rashly. She could only try to calm Zhou Yiran down.

But he didn't expect that the other party had completely lost his mind. Zhou Yiran's eyes became crazy, and he said fiercely with excited eyes:

"What do you mean by not worth it? I'm telling you, you'd better not move. If you do, I'll die with you. I'll have nothing left. I want you dead!"

He put the knife directly on Jiang Ru's neck and did not allow Jiang Ru to resist. He might kill Jiang Ru at any time.

For the first time, Jiang Ru realized that she was so close to death. Now her emotions were too impulsive and she would not listen to advice at all. Jiang Ru had to stay calm. Jiang Ru knew that it was too late to wait for rescue. Now at the critical moment, she could only save herself and face the threat of death.
