Zhou Manbai probably would never have thought that Wen Yanqing’s reaction was faster than hers. She definitely did not know about Wen Yanqing’s relationship with Chen Tian.

When her arrogant words rang out in the police station, the police had already reacted immediately.

The police were trying to track Zhou Manbai’s location through the communication device. Wen Yanqing tried to steady Zhou Manbai. “What do you want?”

On the dark mountain, the only light was from the car headlights.

“The Zhou Corporation has gone bankrupt. I want you to give me enough money. Also, get my brother out of the police station. The case is still open. I’m sure you have a way.” Zhou Manbai’s tone was icy. “If you can’t do it, I’ll speed off the cliff with the car. Whether Lin Gantang can survive or not will depend on her luck.”

Lin Gantang woke up after hearing the last sentence. Her mind was still a little fuzzy, but she clearly heard Zhou Manbai’s vicious intentions.

She closed her eyes and remained motionless.

“How can I be sure that Gantang is in your hands?”

Zhou Manbai turned around and looked at the unconscious Lin Gantang. She did not answer him. “I’ll give you one day. If I don’t hear the news I want by this time tomorrow, you can just wait to find Lin Gantang’s corpse off some cliff!”

“The person you want to deal with is me. Do you think you can get away with it just because you hurt her?”

“At most, we’ll fight to the death! I won’t lose out, killing your mum and dragging your sweetheart along!” Zhou Manbai’s eyes were filled with madness. “Since you’ve made me desperate, I’ll let you have a taste of having the people you care about leaving you one by one!”

Zhou Manbai slammed the phone shut. She was afraid that Wen Yanqing would not believe her, so she took a photo of Lin Gantang in the backseat and sent it over. Then, she threw the phone on the road.

Wen Yanqing received a photo on his phone. Lin Gantang’s hands and feet were tied up and she was lying unconscious on the seat.

“I’ve located it. It’s near Mount Youzhi.” Chen Tian had just pointed out the location when he realized that the location had suddenly been cut off.

Zhou Manbai switched off her phone and started the car. She crushed the phone on the ground and drove back onto the road.

Lin Gantang only felt that the car was going in circles. The road was sometimes smooth and sometimes bumpy. She peeked out of the car window. It was pitch-black. There were no lights or iconic buildings.

She struggled to free her hands and realized that they were tied tightly. Under the dim light in the car, she could see that her ankles were also tied up by the same hemp rope.

She recognized that the person who kidnapped her was Zhou Manbai, and she didn’t see any accomplices.

Lin Gantang closed his eyes and waited for an opportunity.

The car kept driving, passing by a brightly lit road. Then, it became quieter and quieter. There were fewer and fewer sounds of other cars passing by.

If Zhou Manbai followed her plan, she would have left and gone to a remote mountain ridge if she was worried about exposing her location at the earlier place – somewhere where she could destroy a person and a car, killing her.

When the car stopped, Lin Gantang saw the crescent moon outside the window.

The car should have arrived at the destination. Zhou Manbai got out of the car and walked away. Not long after, she came back to check on Lin Gantang. Seeing that she did not show any signs of struggling, she returned to the driver’s seat and sat down. There was no movement for a long time.

She should be asleep.

Using the moonlight outside the window to determine the direction of the knot, Lin Gantang bit the rope on her wrist.

However, things did not go according to her wishes. Before Lin Gantang could let go of the rope, Zhou Manbai, who was sitting in the front seat, suddenly shuddered. She must have been woken up from her sleep. She turned around and stared at Lin Gantang without blinking, her eyes sweeping across her messy hair and supine position.

“You’re awake. The effects of the drug must have worn off,” Zhou Manbai said with certainty. “You don’t have to pretend anymore.”

Lin Gantang opened her eyes..
