Before he could climb onto the railing, he was quickly dragged back and thrown to the ground.

Qiao Ruyi was in so much pain that she lost consciousness. She fell to the ground, smiled softly, and tears fell to the ground.

I can't escape even if I want to, and I can't die even if I want to.

"Why do you want to die so badly?" Zhuang Ce stood in front of her condescendingly, smiling coldly, "Don't say that I, as your uncle, don't love you. How can I let you die alone? If you want to die, I have to find you a companion, right?"

As he spoke, he reached out to the subordinate next to him, and the other party handed him a cell phone.

When Qiao Ruyi saw him dialing the phone, her heart suddenly sank, and then she dialed the number.

The call was picked up almost the next second.

"Zhuang Ce!" Ling Che's almost furious voice came from the other end of the line, "Where is Qiao Ruyi?"

Hearing Ling Che's voice, Qiao Ruyi's dying heart almost came back to life, beating rapidly. But she bit her lip tightly to prevent herself from making any sound, and tears streamed down her face.

"My dear nephew, are you anxious?" Zhuang Cesen smiled coldly.

I can't believe that a person with a heart as cold as iron would care about something so much.

And she is a woman.

Ling Che almost gritted his teeth and asked, "I'll ask you again, where is she?"

"My nephew's wife is right next to me." Zhuang Ce deliberately squatted down and held the phone in front of Qiao Ruyi. "Ruyi, come here and say hello to Ling Che."

There was a phone number on the phone screen, a number that Qiao Ruyi could still remember even if it turned into ashes.

She looked at the familiar number and said nothing.

The other party seemed to be waiting for her answer. When he didn't hear her voice, he called out again tentatively, "Ruyi?"

The two words were low and gentle, and it felt as if he was right next to her even though they were separated by the phone.

The haunting voice was right next to her ears, and Qiao Ruyi's heart ached so much that it almost twisted into a ball, but she bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from making any sound.

The subordinates around Zhuang Ce were all armed men, each carrying a machine gun, and they looked the same as the group of mercenaries she met abroad.

If Ling Che knew she was here, he would definitely risk his life to save her, and Zhuang Ce would not let him go. She didn't want Ling Che to get hurt for her again.

Besides, the person Zhuang Ce wants to take revenge on is her, so he will just take revenge on her.

She didn't say anything, and the person on the other end of the phone became anxious, "Qiao Ruyi, speak!"

Zhuang Ce naturally saw through her plan. Even though she was almost half dead, she was still thinking about her good nephew. She was so stubborn.

He smiled coldly and pinched Qiao Ruyi's chin hard to force her to speak, "Ruyi, why are you unhappy when Ling Che talks to you?"

His hands were so strong that Qiao Ruyi felt like her jaw was about to be crushed.

The pain made him breathe rapidly and he accidentally groaned softly.

This sound just happened to reach Ling Che's eardrum on the other end of the phone.

His back teeth were almost broken. "Zhuang Ce, let her go. You can ask for anything you want."

"Well, let me ask you a question." Zhuang Ce asked with a smile, "My dear nephew, did Ling Zhengqing leave you anything before he died?"

"Of course." Ling Che answered without hesitation, "Isn't this what you've been looking for? If you want it, I can give it to you. Release Qiao Ruyi."

The list is in his hands!

"If I had known it was so easy, why would I have put in so much drama?" Zhuang Ce let go of Qiao Ruyi. "I'll give you a chance to take her away. Bring two things with you. One is something Ling Zhengqing left for you, and the other is the equity transfer contract for all of your Ling Group."

Zhuang Ce smiled and said, "You come alone. If you call the police or bring someone with you—"

As he spoke, he pinched Qiao Ruyi's jaw again, forcing her to shed tears, and warned her, "Don't blame me, your uncle, for leaving my nephew's wife's body in the wilderness."

On the other end of the phone, Ling Che said simply, "Okay, but I also have two requests."

"You said."

"Don't touch her or scare her."

Zhuang Ce glanced at the woman lying on the ground, trembling with red eyes, and said, "Okay, I'll make sure she's fine before you come."

Just as he was about to hang up, Ling Che's voice came from the other end of the phone again.

"Qiao Ruyi, say something!"

The corners of Qiao Ruyi's mouth twitched, and she choked for a long time before opening her mouth. Her voice was hoarse, "Ling, Ling Che...don't come..."

"You're talking nonsense again." Ling Che's voice was low and gentle. "It's my fault that I couldn't find you sooner. Just wait for me."

As soon as Ling Che finished speaking, Zhuang Ce hung up the phone.

He stood up and said, "You should wait until my good nephew comes to discuss these tender words."

After saying that, he instructed his subordinates to take Qiao Ruyi away and get her something to eat so that she wouldn't starve to death.

Those people did not lock Qiao Ruyi up again, but took her to a relatively bright room, served her hot water, steamed buns, and a few side dishes.

Several men stayed in the room, fearing that she would commit suicide again.

Qiao Ruyi knew that Zhuang Ce wanted her to see Ling Che alive because she was still useful to him.

But she couldn't eat anything. Her soaked sweater clung to her body, making her feel cold and uncomfortable. Her lower abdomen ached, and she didn't know if it was from the kick. The man had also stepped hard on her left leg, leaving it swollen and numb, and every movement sent a piercing pain through her.

She knew Ling Che would come to save her, but she didn't want Ling Che to really come.

It's not worth exchanging the Ling family's hundreds of years of foundation for her.

After an unknown amount of time, the door was opened again.

She suddenly looked at the tall men coming in from the door, and her heart suddenly tightened.

Ling Che is here!
