Qin Baobao watched the two exchanging loving glances and acting all mushy, and was utterly speechless.

There was another person standing next to them, and their eyes were locked in a passionate exchange, completely uninhibited. No one else could do that.

Qin Baobao hates people who dawdle the most, so she walked past them and quickly went inside.

It's just two sentences, isn't it? When will this end?

Seeing Qin Baobao leave, Li Mo quickly followed. Su Jie also lost his composure, completely abandoning his caution. The hurried footsteps were especially jarring in the basement.

The basement was filled with building materials, and a faint light drifted in from afar, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

Qin Baobao is efficient and fast; she found the person in no time.

It was an elderly man in his fifties, with gray hair and an expressionless face, sitting on a large box with a large lamp next to him.

Upon seeing the person, Su Jie quickly turned off the live stream.

The old man immediately stood up from the large box, furious and agitated, pointing his finger at Su Jie. "Don't turn off the live stream! Keep it on! This old man wants the whole country to see if there's any fairness left in this world?!"

fair?

A kidnapper talking to a victim about fairness? Is there anything more outrageous than this?

Su Jie suppressed his emotions. He had a gun in his spatial storage, and besides, the other party was just an old man. Three against one, he wasn't afraid at all.

"Sir, I have a few words to say, it concerns my friend, and it's inconvenient for me to do a live stream."

The old man paused for two seconds, then turned around and sat back down on the box, tacitly agreeing to his actions.

"What I'm about to say might not be true, but it's all true."

"Wang Feng, Young Master Wang is dead."

The old man stood up from the box in astonishment. "What did you say? Who died?... How could he possibly be dead?" The old man seemed to find it hard to believe the news.

"You heard right, Young Master Wang is dead."

Su Jie pulled Li Mo forward, "You can ask him if you don't believe me."

Li Mo didn't think this was something to be proud of, especially in front of Miss Huang. Despite being repeatedly reminded and extremely annoyed, Li Mo chose to endure it in order to save the person.

“On May 3rd, Wang Feng dragged me onto a ship. I discovered that he was using live people to fish for sharks, and it wasn't the first time; he did it frequently. I couldn't tolerate it any longer, so I killed him.” Li Mo emphasized Wang Feng's brutality, secretly observing Qin Baobao's expression as he spoke.

The old man was initially incredulous, but then he began to laugh wildly.

"Hahahahaha!"

"Good riddance! That beast should have died long ago! I'll spare your life because you killed Wang Feng. I can give you the child, but... she must stay." The old man pointed at Qin Baobao, his eyes filled with resentment.

"No, she can't stay." Li Mo stepped forward and blocked Qin Baobao's path.

The old man ignored Li Mo and looked over his shoulder at Qin Baobao behind him. "I've seen your engagement photos. You smiled so sweetly in the video! I'm sure you'd love to go down there and be with your fiancé."

The old man's hoarse voice was like a spell, bewitching the living to jump into hell.

While they were distracted, Su Jie searched around with his eyes. Finally, his gaze settled on the large trunk the old man was sitting on.

This box is so big, it could easily fit not only a small child, but also several adults.

Moreover, the old man never left the box, which made people suspect that the hostage was hidden inside.

Su Jie was about to pull out his gun to threaten the old man when Qin Baobao's voice stopped him.

"I can stay, but you must hand over the child."

"no!"

"Can't!"

Li Meng and Su Jie spoke up almost simultaneously. Su Jie had originally planned to exchange her for his son. However, with only this old man in front of him, he was unwilling to use a young girl's life as a bargaining chip unless absolutely necessary.

Most importantly, even if Huang Wei rescues his son, the ruthless man who killed Young Master Wang will not let him go.

“Miss Huang, he’s alone. If we capture him, we can force him to reveal my son’s whereabouts. You don’t need to…”

"If you were a kidnapper, and you came to the meeting alone, what would you do? Wouldn't you have prepared an escape route?"

Su Jie was slightly taken aback, then his expression turned grim. He clearly knew things wouldn't be that simple.

Li Mo pondered for a second, then nodded in agreement.

Perhaps once Huang Wei dies, these uncontrollable actions of mine will stop.

Qin Baobao walked past them toward the old man. She had only taken two steps when someone tugged at her sleeve.

Qin Baobao looked at Li Mo as she followed the hand pulling her sleeve, and Li Mo looked back at her with a determined gaze.

"Since I brought you here, I'll stay with you!"

Was Qin Baobao moved by Li Mo's sincerity?

Of course I'm touched!

I was so touched I wanted to kick him out.

Does this newbie have no self-awareness? Doesn't he know that staying will only hinder his performance?

Qin Baobao's inner self was furious. Couldn't Qi Yunzi just stay put and wait for her to resolve everything?

The old man complied with their wishes, tied the two men up, and then demanded that Su Jie start a live stream.

With his son in the other party's hands, Su Jie had no choice but to comply.

"I'll only say a few words, and then I'll release your son and your friend as well."

It's just a kidnapping, isn't it?

Now that he's been caught, what else does he want to do?

This old man's thought process is a bit hard to understand.

The moment the live stream started, over a thousand people flooded in. This was because the old man's figure flashed by briefly as the stream was being closed, making everyone think they'd seen a ghost.

"Where's the ghost? Where is it? Didn't they say there were ghosts?"

"This scene looks a bit like a kidnapping to me?"

"Is this acting? Director, the scene is pretty well done. That old man's eyes... he looks like he has a story to tell."

……

The old man took two steps forward, facing the camera directly. "My name is Zhao Ming, and I'm 58 years old."

"This person is 58 years old, but the one I see looks over 100 years old, and their hair is all gray."

"58 years old? This old man looks older than his age."

"Those two in the back are good-looking, but their tying skills are terrible. If it were me... hehe!"

……

The people in the live stream treated it like listening to a story.

"You guys also think I'm old!?"

With tears and hatred in his eyes, Zhao Ming roared out, almost hoarsely, "How could I not grow old? My family is destroyed, I'm all alone; there's no way to get revenge, no way to seek justice. Living is more painful than dying!"

I think about dying every single moment, but I'm not willing to accept it! The person who killed my son is still at large, and I don't want to die such a pathetic death.

Zhao Ming, panting heavily, turned to look at Li Mo and Qin Baobao. His eyes looked like he wanted to devour them.

Li Mo clumsily hopped forward twice, blocking Qin Baobao's path.

The viewers were initially startled, and the chat on the screen went silent for a moment before an even more intense surge of comments followed.

"What was with that look just now? It was such a convincing performance!"

"This veteran artist is no ordinary person; he's sure to become famous in the future."

"The little boy's jumps were so cute, I wanted to scoop them into my own bowl."

"This isn't a real kidnapping, is it? Host, if you've been kidnapped, just blink."
