The sound of bones breaking rang out, and excruciating pain began to spread from his arm. Despite this, Xu Tian was still glad that he had caught Su Nuannuan.

Fortunately, he arrived in time. Fortunately, he didn't dare to delay for even a moment. Heaven knows how Xu Tian felt when he saw a familiar figure jump out of the window as soon as he parked the car.

"It's alright, Nuannuan, it's alright, I'm here."

Despite the pain, Xu Tian still managed to force a smile.

As Su Nuannuan jumped down, she suddenly heard Xu Tian's voice. When she opened her eyes, she realized it was really him and hugged him, crying bitterly.

"Nuan Nuan, listen to me. Take my car keys and leave quickly. Call Chu Lan as soon as you get back to the city, okay?"

Xu Tian knew this wasn't the time for the two of them to cry together, so he tried to speak in the gentlest voice possible, afraid of scaring Su Nuannuan.

Su Nuannuan shook her head, "Brother Xu Tian, ​​my dad is injured and bleeding, I'm not leaving."

Xu Tian smiled and patted her hair. "You must leave. Don't worry, as long as you leave, I will definitely be able to save Uncle Su."

"Guards! They're here! Seize him!"

An urgent voice came from outside. Xu Tian saw that they had come out of the main gate. He endured the sharp pain in his arm and pulled Su Nuannuan up.

"Go quickly, remember what I said, I can only save Uncle Su in peace after you leave."

In a moment of desperation, Su Nuannuan rushed to the car as fast as she could, turned the key, and floored the gas pedal, leaving those people behind.

While they were chasing Su Nuannuan, Xu Tian stumbled and ran into the factory.

The factory was very large, with three floors, each nearly a thousand square meters in size. Moreover, each floor had a different structure, with many corridors and passages, so they quickly lost track of Xu Tian.

Xu Tian was drenched in sweat, pressing his body tightly against the wall to observe the movements of those people. The aftereffects of his broken hand bone were also starting to flare up, making him unable to exert any strength and causing him excruciating pain.

If it were a direct confrontation, he wouldn't even last a single round, let alone save Su Zhen. The only thing he could do now was to stall for time and wait for Chu Lan to arrive with his men.

Perhaps due to the tension, Xu Tian's hearing came into play at this moment. He could even hear the breathing of those people a hundred meters away, and thus used it to quickly move to another place. Moreover, in just a few minutes, he actually sketched out the complete terrain of the factory in his mind. However, he was facing danger at the moment, so he was completely unaware of his ability.

Using his familiarity with the terrain, Xu Tian navigated the intricate corridors. When they were close, he would deliberately make noise to lure the pursuers into dead ends, while he would quickly climb to the second floor using a narrow staircase.

The second floor was dimly lit, and rows of abandoned machines provided him with cover. He hid behind a huge machine tool, holding his breath and listening to the footsteps gradually fade away. Then, he quietly crept to the window and, using the faint moonlight, threw a discarded metal part downstairs. The loud noise attracted the enemy's attention once again. He then turned and disappeared at the end of another dark corridor.

Meng Ge led his men back and forth between factories searching for Xu Tian, ​​but they were tricked several times and couldn't even find his exhaust fumes. In a fit of anger, he dragged Su Zhen up.

Meng Ge, his face ashen, roared through the empty factory, "Xu Tian, ​​you get out here! Otherwise, he's going to lose his life!" He gripped a gleaming dagger tightly in his hand, the blade flashing coldly in the dim light, pressed against Su Zhen's vulnerable neck. Su Zhen was pale and utterly defenseless.

All around, there was the rough breathing and chaotic footsteps of Meng Ge's men, who searched the factory like a pack of hungry wolves for Xu Tian's whereabouts. The factory's echo chamber amplified Meng Ge's threats, each word striking Xu Tian's heart like a hammer blow. He hid in the shadows on the second floor, his hands clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, but he dared not make a sound.

"I'll count to three, and if you don't come out, I'll kill him!"

Xu Tian's heart pounded like a drum, sweat streamed down his face, dripping onto the cold ground. He gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed on the gleaming dagger in Meng Ge's hand and Su Zhen's pale, helpless face. The moment Meng Ge began the countdown, Xu Tian closed his eyes and made his decision.

He slowly stood up, emerging from the shadows of the second floor, and walked step by step toward the stairwell, each step feeling like walking on a knife's edge. When Xu Tian's figure was fully exposed to the light, Meng Ge's face revealed a smug smile. He brandished the dagger in his hand, signaling his men to surround Xu Tian.

"Damn, are you a rabbit? You hop around pretty fast!"

A victorious smile spread across Meng Ge's face as he tossed Su Zhen aside and went to Xu Tian's side.

At this moment, Xu Tian was held tightly by several people and could not move an inch.

"Where's the money? I'm telling you to bring money to ransom him. You dare to come empty-handed? Believe me, I'll kill you!"

Xu Tian had already made up his mind when he decided to show himself. He smiled slightly and said...

"Fifty million in cash, go out and ask around, which big boss can come up with that kind of money right away?"

Meng Ge kicked him hard, then sneered, "You little brat, are you messing with me? You dare to come here if you don't have money?"

Xu Tian grunted and continued, "I guarantee that no one in the entire Jiangcheng can achieve a cash flow of fifty million. I'm not kidding you, you're just oversimplifying things."

Meng Ge roared, "I don't care what you say! You didn't see any money and made me release someone. I'm going to get my money back from you!"

As he spoke, Meng Ge took out a dagger and waved it back and forth on Xu Tian's body.

Xu Tian calmly replied, "After going through all this trouble, it's all about money. I certainly can't come up with fifty million, but ten or twenty million is nothing to me."

Tens or twenty million?

Meng Ge's eyes lit up. He only made a few dozen yuan a year by earning high interest rates. Tens of millions was a lot of money for him in his lifetime. If Chen Feng hadn't told him that Xu Tian was worth countless amounts, he wouldn't have asked for so much money right away.

Thinking of this, Meng Ge stared at Xu Tiandao and asked, "Then how are you going to give me this ten or twenty million?"

Xu Tian looked at Su Zhen not far away with concern, "Release him and I'll tell you."

"Don't fucking try to negotiate with me! Pay up first, then I'll release them!"

Xu Tian knew that Meng Ge was the type of person who wouldn't act until he saw the benefit, so he gestured for him to take out his phone. Upon seeing this, Meng Ge directly entered his bank card number and then entered the transfer amount: 20 million.

"What's the password?"

Xu Tian said a string of numbers, and Meng Ge hurriedly entered them in, only to find that the transfer had failed. He became furious.

"Are you fucking messing with me?!"

Xu Tian laughed and said, "Bank cards have limits. This card of mine can only transfer a maximum of five million at a time."
