After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.
Chapter 42 I Can't Let You Take Risks
When Song Le saw that I accepted, she seemed relieved.
He took out a check that he had prepared beforehand from his pocket and handed it to me.
I paused for a moment, then shook my head and handed it back to him.
The memory of Jiang Yichen tearing up the check is still fresh in my mind, so even if I accept Song Le's help, I have to be more cautious.
"Could you give me your bank card? Consider this money a loan from you, and I'll pay you back when I have the money."
Song Le understood my concerns and immediately handed me the card she was carrying.
After I took the card, he continued in a low voice, "Gu Mo, it's not safe for you to go alone as a girl. I'll go with you to rescue Gu Bai."
I refused without even thinking about it.
"No need, I can't let you take the risk."
Song Le wanted to insist, but I pretended to be angry and handed the card back.
“If you insist on coming with me, I can’t accept this money.”
Seeing my firm stance, Song Le knew she couldn't persuade me otherwise and had no choice but to give up.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, my life means nothing, but Song Le is different.
He's the only son in the Song family, and the entire family fortune will eventually be handed over to him. I can't let him get hurt.
Soon, the kidnappers sent a message.
They wanted two million in cash, with the transaction to take place the following afternoon.
Fortunately, the card Song Le gave me was enough to pay for this.
In the afternoon, I took my suitcase to withdraw the money.
However, right after I withdrew the money from the bank, I was targeted by someone.
A motorcycle was coming towards us.
The driver was heading straight for me without slowing down at all.
I immediately realized something was wrong and instinctively gripped the box tighter.
The man sitting behind me on the motorcycle reached out and tried to snatch my suitcase.
The two worked together seamlessly and brushed past me.
The man behind me was pulling my suitcase tightly with tremendous force, and I was being dragged along by them.
Knowing they were after my money, and not knowing where I got the strength from, I gripped the box tightly with both hands and refused to let go.
They dragged me to the ground, the cement floor chafing my skin raw, but even so, I couldn't let them have their way.
Seeing that I wouldn't give up, the driver sped up, as if he intended to throw me off.
Thinking that it was my brother's life-saving money, I instantly broke down, struggling and clinging to it tightly.
"I'd rather die than let go!"
The robbers didn't expect me to be so persistent, and the man in the back seat kicked my hand.
The intense pain brought tears streaming down my face, but I kept going.
I could clearly hear the whispers of the people around me.
But in this situation, not a single person was willing to help me.
Just when I was losing strength, Song Le appeared like a lifeline.
He drove his car to stop the motorcycle.
Seeing that someone was helping me, the two had no choice but to abandon their car and run away.
Ignoring the pain, I nervously hugged the money box tightly.
The tension I had been holding in was finally released.
I couldn't help but cry out loud, and large tears kept falling.
It took me a long time to calm down before I looked up at Song Le and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Song Le answered casually, "I just happened to be passing by."
Just then, a harsh, mocking voice rang out.
"Gu Mo, why do you always look so disheveled every time I see you?"
That's when I realized that Song Yuan was here too.
"Shut up, get back in the car."
Song Le immediately stopped Song Yuan, signaling her to stop talking.
Song Yuan was immediately dissatisfied, but dared not argue with him, so she could only glare at me fiercely.
Song Le helped me up from the ground and asked with concern, "Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"
I shook my head, brushed the dust off my clothes, and said gratefully, "I'm fine, thank you."
Seeing me like this, Song Yuan felt even more dissatisfied. "Such a grown man, and he doesn't even understand that the bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow against it. He's incredibly stupid."
Their words were harsh, and their eyes were full of contempt for me.
Song Le lent me this money, and I owe her a favor, so I can't argue with her.
Song Le didn't want to embarrass me, so she scolded her a few times and then forcibly kicked her out.
He then took me home, put the money away, and I immediately returned to the company.
As soon as I reopened the live stream, I noticed someone was deliberately stirring up trouble.
The comments on the screen were even more offensive.
She's quite pretty and has a good figure; she'd be more interesting to look at if she wore less clothing.
Remember to dress nicely tomorrow; showing some skin is always more attractive.
She has an alluring face; I wonder if she's any good in bed.
It's becoming increasingly blatant and excessive.
I then kicked the speaker out of the live stream.
To my surprise, those people wouldn't give up and kept sending me disgusting private messages.
"You have to be sexy tomorrow afternoon, I love to see it."
That's when I realized that the person who was deliberately stirring up trouble in the live stream wasn't an ordinary hater, but a human trafficker who had kidnapped my brother.
Before I could say anything, the other party sent a warning message.
They threatened me not to call the police, or they would kill me.
In an instant, I felt a chill run down my spine and broke out in a cold sweat.
I tried my best to remain calm and didn't want the other fans in the live stream to notice anything unusual.
Just then, Lin Nan walked over, arm in arm with Jiang Yichen.
Seeing that I was in a daze and not interacting with netizens, Lin Nan reminded me in a deep voice: "Gu Mo, you need to have the right attitude when you're working."
My thoughts were instantly pulled back, and I couldn't help but shiver. I looked up at the two of them.
At this moment, Lin Nan saw the comments in the live stream and added a slightly sarcastic remark.
"If you want, you can become a borderline streamer anytime; it's very lucrative anyway."
Utter humiliation.
My palms were sweaty; I was terrified by those human traffickers.
I tightened my clothes and unconsciously looked at Jiang Yichen.
But he just stood there silently with a cold expression, as if he was tacitly condoning Lin Nan's mockery of me.
For some reason, I instinctively wanted to tell him about my brother.
"Jiang Yichen, I..."
Unfortunately, before I could finish speaking, Lin Nan seemed to sense my intention and interrupted me, "Gu Mo, focus on your work and don't cause trouble for Yi Chen."
Meeting her slightly warning gaze, I felt really uncomfortable.
Before I could retort, Jiang Yichen spoke up sarcastically, "Do you really have to rely on your body to get attention?"
Meeting his judgmental gaze, I felt a little flustered.
No matter how I explain, he won't believe my helplessness.
I saw Jiang Yichen's gaze gradually turn to disdain, and then to disgust.
My heart ached, and I was about to speak up to explain when Jiang Yichen spoke again.
"Gu Mo, you are not allowed to change jobs without the company's arrangement."
Upon hearing this, Lin Nan's face immediately turned ugly. Just as she was about to say something, the man gave her a look that told her to shut up, and then turned and left.
I don't know how much time passed before I finally adjusted my mindset and continued the live stream.
But when I looked at the comments again, I found that those offensive comments had already disappeared.
