Before she could see the name on the caller ID, the phone was snatched away by the person next to her.

"Brother, she is indeed in contact with Liu Shuming. This call was from him." The person who snatched the phone said to the fat man.

Shen Anran's heart tightened, realizing that the situation was not good. She struggled to get her phone back, but the other man clamped her shoulders tightly, making her unable to move.

The fat man took the phone and handed it to his boss.

The eldest brother narrowed his eyes and pressed the answer button. Liu Shuming's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Sister, are you off work?"

"Liu Shuming?" asked the boss.

"Who are you?" Liu Shuming's voice became nervous.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that your sister is with me now. If you want her to be okay, you have one hour to come back, otherwise you'll have to prepare to collect your sister's body." The boss threatened.

"You..." Liu Shuming's voice was full of anger, but the phone was hung up immediately.

The boss hung up the phone and threw the phone onto the table with a thud.

He looked at Shen Anran with a cold gaze, "You'd better pray that Liu Shuming can come back, otherwise, I can only take you back to report."

Shen Anran kindly reminded him, "Liu Shuming is in Lincheng right now. Even if he rushes back immediately, it will take about three hours."

"It's okay, we can wait."

The boss sat back on the sofa and lit another cigarette.

The air in the room was soon filled with smoke, and Shen Anran was choked by the smell and started coughing.

Seeing this, the fat man suggested taking Shen Anran into the room, but the boss kicked him and said in an extremely cold voice: "Don't forget the rules."

A trace of resentment flashed in the fat man's eyes, but he still said, "Yes, yes, yes."

He was obviously dissatisfied with the boss, but he didn't dare to show it.

An hour passed. Shen Anran stood there, looking at the boss sitting on the sofa. Finally, she couldn't help but say, "I want to sit down. My legs hurt from standing."

Finally, Shen Anran sat down, with one person standing on each side looking at her.

Shen Anran felt helpless at the moment. Her cell phone was not far away and seemed within reach, but as long as she made the slightest movement, the person next to her would immediately hold her down.

I hope that fool Liu Shuming doesn't show up alone.

Shen Anran began to recall the contents of the book in his mind, trying to find descriptions of these people.

From the time she entered the door until now, the only information she learned was that there was a big man called "Fifth Master" behind these people.

The name "Fifth Master" sounded familiar, but Shen Anran couldn't remember where she had heard it, or which character in the book it was.

She searched hard in her memory, hoping to find some clues.

The sky was getting darker, but no one felt sleepy.

Suddenly, there was a sound at the door and everyone's eyes immediately turned to the door.

The person who appeared at the door was Liu Shuming. His head was covered in sweat and his breathing was rapid. It was obvious that he had come in a hurry.

He saw Shen Anran surrounded by people, and his face instantly darkened. "Who are you?"

"You must be Liu Shuming,"

The eldest brother stood up, a sneer on his face, "Your mother sold you to us. As long as you leave with us, your sister will be safe."

Liu Shuming's eyes were instantly filled with hatred, but he suppressed the anger in his heart.

Replied calmly: "Okay, as long as you don't hurt her, I will leave with you."

"No." Shen Anran suddenly stood up and objected.

"Sister, believe me, I will be fine. Take care of yourself and wait for me to come back."

Liu Shuming smiled at Shen Anran. It was obvious that he was the one in danger, but he was comforting Shen Anran.

"If you want to take him away, take me with you." She finally had a good brother, and she didn't want anything to happen to Liu Shuming.

Liu Shuming objected loudly: "No."

The boss got a headache after hearing this and finally decided to take them all back and let the Fifth Master deal with them.

Not far from the intersection, several imposing vehicles suddenly came into view. The boss's steps instantly became heavy, and he walked quickly towards the nearest one.

The car window slowly slid down, revealing Wu Ye's sharp eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

"Fifth Master, I'm sorry for my negligence." The boss' voice was apologetic and nervous. He didn't expect that Fifth Master would come in person.

"Why did it take so long?" Wu Ye's voice was extremely cold, without a trace of emotion.

"Liu Shuming just came back from Lincheng."

Wu Ye's gaze then passed over him and fell on the two people who followed, and his brows frowned slightly.

The boss quickly explained: "That woman claimed to be Liu Shuming's sister."

After hearing this, Wu Ye's eyes flashed with deep thought, "There should only be one person named on the IOU."

"Yes, but they both don't want to separate, I..."

Before the boss could explain, suddenly, several luxury cars drove over quickly and surrounded them.

The man in black got out of the car and quickly opened the door. A man slowly walked down from the car.

When Wu Ye saw the face of the person who came clearly, his eyes darkened slightly, then he opened the car door and got out.

"Fifth Master, taking my people away without telling me is a bit immoral."

Although his voice was calm, it made everyone present feel a pressure that should not be underestimated.

Wu Ye narrowed his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

He smiled and said, "So you are the kid from the Zhou family. What are you doing here?"

"I'm also very curious. What exactly does Fifth Master want to do by taking them away so late at night?" Zhou Jingyan responded coldly, looking straight at Fifth Master without any fear.

"You come and explain to him." Wu Ye turned his head and instructed the men beside him.

Upon hearing this, the subordinate told the whole story about Liu's mother's debt.

When Liu Shuming heard these words, anger instantly surged in his heart.

His voice was filled with anger and rejection: "She's not my mother."

Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Not only did she kill Liu Yiyi, but now she wants him dead too. He doesn't have a mother like that.

The Fifth Master's eyes were as cold as ice, and his tone was indifferent: "Some things are not up to you to decide. Since you are his child, it is natural that you should repay him. Since Jingyan, you are here, then I will give you a favor and allow you to take one person away. How about it?"

"We are all in business. If you have any conditions, Fifth Master, you might as well put them forward directly." Zhou Jingyan's eyes were like glaciers in the cold winter, and his words were without a trace of warmth.

When Master Wu heard this, he burst into laughter. His laughter was loud and hearty.

"Since you're so straightforward, Jingyan, I won't beat around the bush. I heard you're planning that real estate project in the western suburbs. I'm very interested in it and want to get involved and have a piece of the action."

Zhou Jingyan frowned slightly and was about to agree when he suddenly felt a hand gently pulling his arm.
