After being reborn, the aloof female CEO became a paranoid.

Upon hearing this, the kidnapper glanced at the man lying on the ground, barely alive, then snorted coldly and looked at Mu Chenxi with a cold and arrogant expression, "I'll wait, but can your husband wait? She won't last much longer!"

After she finished speaking, Mu Chenxi suddenly fell silent.

The woman appeared calm on the surface, no different from usual, but her clenched fingers were digging deep into her flesh, and her teeth were almost crushed.

Her face remained cold, but in reality, she had used almost all the self-control she had ever had in her life to restrain herself from immediately rushing up to scold and beat her.

Mu Chenxi said indifferently, but with a hint of barely perceptible ruthlessness in her tone, "There's nothing you can do if you're anxious. I'll gather the things as soon as possible, but you'd better not act impulsively. It won't do you any good to hurt her."

The kidnapper was clearly hesitant. After struggling internally for a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind and first turned the camera over.

The moment Zhou Yu appeared on the screen, Mu Chenxi's heart skipped a beat.

In the video, a man lies on the ground with his hair disheveled, his hands tied behind his back. The rope is clearly very tight, and blood is seeping from his slender wrists.

His eyes were closed, his face drained of color, and he lay on the ground, barely breathing, looking like a dead man.

On the other end of the phone, when Mu Chenxi saw the man's fragile appearance, as if he would break at the slightest touch, the veins on her forehead bulged, her chest began to heave violently, and she bit her gums until they bled.

The fire burning in her heart grew stronger and stronger; she now wished she could grab a big knife and hack the kidnapper to death right then and there!

She hated the woman who kidnapped and abused Zhou Yu, but she hated herself even more!

No matter what happens, they should face it calmly and find a solution. If she hadn't run away, Zhou Yu wouldn't be like this now!

It's all her fault...

In the end, it was all her fault that he was ruined!

This kidnapper was her enemy; Zhou Yu was merely an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.

Looking at the man's expression, Mu Chenxi felt as if her heart was bleeding.

She wished she were the one lying there, suffering terribly.

She was willing to endure a thousand times more torment from Zhou Yu, just hoping that Zhou Yu would not suffer any pain.

Mu Chenxi gritted her teeth until she tasted the faint metallic sweetness in her mouth, which restored a sliver of calm to her senses.

No, she can't act impulsively.

Especially in situations like this, she must not panic.

If this madman discovers something amiss, Zhou Yu's danger will likely become even greater.

"Stop playing dead! Wake up!"

Suddenly, the kidnapper roared at Zhou Yu, his voice almost shattering eardrums.

A few seconds later, Zhou Yu used all his strength to barely open his eyes halfway.

He struggled to move his pupils, and upon seeing the familiar divine face in front of the camera, his eyes instantly filled with endless indifference and desolation.

After glancing at it, he looked away and turned his head away.

This must be what despair is all about.

He thought he had found the warmest sunlight in the world, but when he looked back, he realized that it not only didn't shine, but had also cut off his only source of light.

Looking into the man's cold and desperate eyes, Mu Chenxi's eyes turned bloodshot. Even though she always had great self-control, her heart was breaking at this moment!

He's become like this because of her!

If it weren't for the enemies she made outside, how could Zhou Yu have encountered such a disaster today?

It's all her fault.

She wished she were the one lying there, barely alive!

However, the kidnappers were clearly satisfied after seeing the barely concealed heartache on Mu Chenxi's face. "See that, Mu Chenxi? I'm giving you one more day! I can't wait any longer, and neither can your husband! If we don't see the money by this time tomorrow, I'll kill her! Do you hear me?!"

"……Um."

Mu Chenxi clenched her teeth and managed a weak reply.

……

The next day.

The kidnapper sat on a stool in the dilapidated hut, looking at Zhou Yu's half-dead state with his eyes downcast, a hint of annoyance appearing on his face.

Why hasn't Mu Chenxi transferred the money to her yet?

When did Mu's efficiency become so low?

Despite her resentment, the thought of that huge sum of money made her lick her lips and smile.

Well, it's several hundred million after all, so it's understandable that they can't raise it all at once. She'll give Mu Chenxi a little more time.

After all, this man's marriage to Mu Chenxi was just a sham, so they couldn't push her too hard, lest Mu Chenxi turn her back on him and refuse to redeem him.

So the kidnappers waited from eight in the morning until two in the afternoon.

The woman remained in the same posture, but the difference was that in the morning she could still smile in a good mood, but now... her face was covered with dark clouds, and she looked terrible.

Very well, they dared to play her for a fool.

The woman glanced down at Zhou Yu on the ground with a gloomy look, gritted her teeth, looked at her phone, and then dialed Mu Chenxi's number.

beep...

The call went through, but was abruptly cut off the next second.

"..."

The woman was clearly taken aback that Mu Chenxi would dare to hang up on her, and she stared blankly for a long while before she came to her senses.

Well done, that bastard actually dared to hang up on him?!

Enraged, the kidnapper gritted his teeth and attacked Mu Chenxi again.

drop……

It died instantly!

Enraged, the kidnapper squatted down in front of Zhou Yu, grabbed the man's chin, and fiercely waved his phone in front of him. "Heh heh, you're such a useless piece of trash. I thought you had some standing in Mu Chenxi's heart, and I was even hoping to get some money back from you."

As she spoke, the woman let out a cold laugh, her face full of mockery, "Did you see that? She hung up! Mu Chenxi not only kept delaying paying, but now she just hung up on me! You two are just making a fool of me, you're worthless in her eyes!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu concealed his already dim eyes, and after a long while, he gave a weak and pale smile, his voice weak and feeble, "Yes... I told you long ago that she doesn't care about me at all. You're just stupid, wanting to be a fool and be played with like a puppet. Who can you blame?"

"You dare talk back? You're asking for trouble!"

Zhou Yu didn't speak, his weak and powerless eyes fixed on her, as if he were provoking her. Anyone who saw that half-smiling, half-provocative look would surely be furious.

Yes, he just doesn't want to live anymore.

Anyway, he has no relatives now, and no one cares about him.

Falling into this person's hands, he saw no hope whatsoever, and instead suffered abuse and torture.

Dying like this is a kind of relief, isn't it?

If he is fortunate enough to have an afterlife, he will never again be tainted by poisons like Xu Xinran and Mu Chenxi.

He...never dared to do it again.
