The sudden turn of events caught me off guard.

I instinctively tried to scream, but the person immediately covered my mouth.

He was wearing a hat and deliberately lowered his voice, warning, "Don't shout."

Then, when I met the person's eyes, I realized that the person in front of me was Ouou, who had been on the phone with me earlier.

Seeing him suddenly appear here, I immediately brushed his hand away and, trying to remain calm, questioned, "What do you want?"

Seeing that I had broken free, Ou Ou didn't seem to care. She said with a half-smile, "We're old acquaintances, so of course I came to catch up with you."

Realizing something was wrong, I coldly rejected him, saying, "There's nothing to reminisce about between us."

As I spoke, I prepared to leave the stairwell.

Ou Ou didn't stop me directly. Just as I opened the door to the stairwell, he suddenly grabbed my wrist and pulled me back.

He moved very quickly throughout the whole process, giving me no chance to react.

He pulled me over, and my arm slammed against the wall, the pain bringing tears to my eyes.

His expression instantly turned fierce, and he kept moving closer to me.

"Gu Mo, you've ruined me terribly, and you think you can just leave like this?"

Realizing he was here to settle scores with me, I struggled desperately, "That's your own fault, what does it have to do with me?"

Ou Ou instantly became furious, and he viciously shifted all the blame onto me.

"My ban is entirely your fault, and you can't escape responsibility for it."

As he was speaking, he suddenly grabbed my hair, preventing me from escaping.

I was caught off guard and he grabbed me.

The pain in my scalp and arms was so intense that I couldn't speak.

Even so, Ouou had no intention of giving up.

He looked fierce, gripping me tightly, his tone full of threats.

"You have to take responsibility for this now. I can't survive in this country anymore. Give me a million yuan, and I want to go abroad. Otherwise, I'll make you regret it."

As he spoke, he increased the pressure on his hand.

Upon hearing this number, I refused almost without thinking, "I don't have a million, I simply don't have any money."

If I had a million dollars, why would I live such a tiring life?

Unfortunately, Ou Ou didn't believe me at all. He continued to press me, forcing me to give him the money.

"Stop pretending. How could you not have a million?"

I prepared to speak again.

The door to the stairwell was suddenly kicked open from the outside.

A loud bang immediately caught Ou's attention.

Then I saw that the person who came was Jiang Yichen.

"Release him. I issued the blacklist. If you have any problems, come at me."

I didn't expect Jiang Yichen to suddenly appear, and my instinct was to ask him for help.

But the next second, a cold, stinging sensation pressed against my neck.

Ou Ou pulled out a knife from somewhere.

At this moment, he was in a state of madness, boldly threatening Jiang Yichen.

"We can replace him, but you have to give us ten million. Otherwise, all you'll see today is a corpse."

With a knife to my neck and Ou'ou pulling my hair, I couldn't escape even if I wanted to.

Seeing Ou Ou's reaction, Jiang Yichen continued to negotiate with him.

"Release her first, we can talk about the money later. I did it, she's innocent."

While saying this, Jiang Yichen tried to move closer to us.

But Ou Ou wouldn't listen. He increased the pressure on his hands and became increasingly agitated.

"Don't move, or I'll slit his throat right now."

The icy touch kept stimulating my nerves, and I didn't dare to breathe.

As Ou Ou moved, a trickle of blood seeped from my neck.

A bloody smell filled the air.

Seeing this, Ou Ou continued to threaten Jiang Yichen, "If you don't want her to die, then back off."

Jiang Yichen had no choice but to do as he said.

Ou Ou grabbed me and left the stairwell.

Upon seeing someone committing violence, the TV station staff immediately screamed.

A cacophony of noises filled the air.

"Call the police! Call the police immediately! Someone is committing violence!"

"Run! Murder! Murder!"

Ou Ou pushed against me and forcibly dragged me away from the TV station.

Jiang Yichen kept his distance from us, constantly trying to find an opportunity to rescue me.

Across the street from the TV station, there is a bridge spanning the river.

After looking me over, Ou Ou pulled me onto the bridge.

Jiang Yichen was afraid that he would act impulsively, so he could only try his best to stabilize his emotions.

"Don't get agitated, I can give you any amount of money you want."

After stopping in the middle of the bridge, Ou Ou spoke to Jiang Yichen again, "I'll wait here. Ten million in cash. If the cash arrives, I'll release her. Otherwise, I'll push her into the river."

But ten million? I'm not worth that much money.

Just when I thought Jiang Yichen was going to refuse, he actually agreed.

"Wait, I'll have someone bring the money."

After saying that, he dialed a phone number.

"I'm at the TV station now. Prepare ten million in cash."

He was concise and clear, and hung up immediately after finishing his sentence.

About half an hour later, Lin Nan arrived, dragging a large black bag.

After seeing that I had been kidnapped, she immediately understood what had happened.

Lin Nan's eyes instantly turned disgusted, and she couldn't help but say, "Gu Mo, you really are a complete troublemaker. Look how much trouble you've gotten yourself into this time."

With a knife pressed against my hand, I had no chance to answer, even if I wanted to.

Lin Nan only complained about me verbally, but her hands never stopped moving.

She threw the money directly at Ou Ou, looking as if she genuinely feared I would be harmed.

Lin Nan tossed the large bag at Ou Ou's feet before making her request.

"The money is ready. Now release the person immediately."

Just then, a waiting van pulled up next to OuOu.

Ou Ou shouted into the car.

"Now that you have the money, open the car door."

Within two seconds, the car door opened from the inside.

Ou Ou gradually loosened his grip, kicking the money bag as he moved closer to the van.

Before I could react, he shoved me forcefully toward Jiang Yichen, even dropping the knife to the ground, and grabbed the money, intending to run away.

I was unwilling to let him leave like that, so I quickly hugged him tightly from behind the moment he picked up the money.

Ou Ou was startled by my sudden action and was unable to move forward.

"You bitch, let go of my hand right now, or I'll kill you."

As he spoke, he kept hitting my back with his elbow, trying to make me let go.

I don't know where I got the courage from, but I stubbornly refused to give up.

Jiang Yichen also stepped forward to help me at that moment.

When the people on the bus realized something was wrong, they all rushed off.

They forcibly separated me from OuOu, took the money, and planned to drive away.

But I was determined and lunged forward again, with Jiang Yichen helping me from the side.

In the midst of the dispute.

Those people got impatient and kept pushing and shoving Jiang Yichen.

Jiang Yichen was outnumbered and forced to the edge of the bridge by Ou Ou and the others.

Worried that something might happen to Jiang Yichen, I quickly moved closer to his location.

Before I could even get close, they pushed me to the ground, and just as I was trying to get up...

The sound of water splashing could be heard.

Those people seemed to have gone mad; they actually cooperated to pick up Jiang Yichen and throw him down.

After dealing with Jiang Yichen, those guys kicked me a few times, took the money, and drove off in style.

I was terrified by what I saw, and I scrambled to the bridge and screamed with all my might.

"Jiang Yichen!"
