American Comics: BOSS Invasion

"Idiot, look closely, it's just makeup!"

The woman rolled her eyes: "We overheard her phone call, she seems to be a celebrity, there should be some unexpected gains. As for this one..."

The woman looked at Tomie.

"Contact the inside, find out what's going on! What are you still standing there for? Move!"

After being yelled at, the two woke up as if from a dream and busied themselves.

On the other side, Aunt Sophie stood at the basement door with a tray and tentatively knocked.

Unsurprisingly, there was no answer.

She twisted the handle and slowly opened the door a crack.

Just as she was about to look inside, a voice suddenly appeared in her ear.

"Have I not said, do not enter the basement?"

"She just went on a trip, no need to worry! The so-called kidnapping is just a prank. Now put down the apple pie in your hand, go to the kitchen to prepare tonight's dinner, and don't disturb me again. If I find you trying to enter the basement again... Sophie, believe me, you don't want to know the consequences!"

Qi Shan's voice was calm, as if stating a trivial fact.

Aunt Sophie looked at the tray in her hand, her forehead covered in cold sweat.

She was extremely panicked inside.

What's going on?

I have clearly checked the room many times, there are no monitoring devices at all, why does he know that I am holding an apple pie?

And why am I so panicked, it's clearly not the first time.

Could it be because his voice is too calm?

What does going on a trip mean? I just told him a few hours ago that Miss Tomie was kidnapped.

Does he not want to spend money, or does he really disregard life?

Standing at the basement door for more than a minute, Aunt Sophie gave up the plan to try again, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, closed the basement door that had just been opened a crack, and then went back to the kitchen with the tray.

She looked around warily, then turned on the faucet, and under the cover of the rushing water, took out a disposable phone and dialed.

"Boss, it's me!"

"The other party is completely unmoved, it's not a trick, it's a complete lack of reaction. They neither called the police, nor prepared cash, and have been locking themselves in the basement, not knowing what they are doing."

"Do you know what? A minute ago, he told me in a very calm tone that Miss Tomie went on a trip. But clearly a few hours ago, he personally saw the kidnapping scene."

"This is definitely a cold-blooded person. Boss, although it's embarrassing to say this, he really scared me!"

While speaking, Aunt Sophie wiped the cold sweat from her palms on her apron, her eyes still somewhat frightened.

Although she didn't know why, from just now, she had a feeling of palpitations.

"Boss, I'm applying to withdraw... but... okay, in order not to arouse his suspicion, I'll stay a few more days. But boss, I really can't take it anymore... Okay, I understand."

Aunt Sophie hung up the phone, clenched her fists, stood by the sink, took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and tried to calm herself down.

On the other side, the woman hung up the phone, her brow furrowed.

The man in the suit asked: "What's wrong?"

"The prey isn't biting!" The woman's eyes were full of confusion. "Those people said that the other party is so calm that they don't seem like a normal person, like not calling the police, or preparing money, or even directly denying the fact that they were kidnapped, saying that the target went on a trip."

"And I don't know why, the inside line is frightened, and wants to deal with it now. I comforted her a little, and told her to stay a few more days to prevent the police from retaliating later."

The man in the suit spread his hands: "So, this target is considered ruined?"

"Currently, it is."

In the corner, "Snow White" slowly woke up.

Perhaps shocked by her beauty, the bald man and the black man didn't tie her up much.

They only slightly tied her hands and feet to the chair, and there were no ropes on her body.

Snow White was obviously not an ordinary girl. After discovering that she had been kidnapped, she didn't scream like ordinary girls, but calmly observed her surroundings.

When she saw the girl who was also tied up opposite, with her mouth and eyes tied up, her eyes only paused slightly.

When she saw the four blatant kidnappers who were not wearing head covers, her pupils shrank.

She slightly observed the environment, then slightly lowered her head, letting her smooth blonde hair cover her pretty face.

The bald man and the black man had been paying attention to Snow White.

Perhaps it was their aesthetic, or perhaps it was Tomie's inherent magic, the two of them only had violence and greed towards Tomie, but a trace of love and pity towards Snow White.

So as soon as she moved, the two immediately noticed.

The bald man smiled and stepped forward, reaching out to lift her blonde hair, looking at her delicate pretty face, and said: "Oh, look what we found, a lost kitten. Still a blonde kitten, want to go home?"

Snow White said: "What do you want?"

"Money, of course money! 5 million in cash, as soon as the money is in hand, we will let you go home immediately."

Snow White looked the two up and down.

The two were there, looking at her, with hideous smiles on their faces.

After staring at each other for more than a minute, the bald man and the black man were the first to be defeated, and shouted somewhat angrily: "What exactly are you looking at?"

"Looking at how stupid you are! Don't you do background checks before you kidnap someone?"

The two looked at each other, suspicious: What the hell? Did we kidnap the wrong person again?

The woman and the man in the suit also turned their attention over, but didn't speak.

Snow White's eyes were calm: "I grew up in a single-parent family. My mother just passed away three months ago, leaving me with a water factory that is about to go bankrupt.

I worked hard for three months and just paid off the bank loan. When there were only four dollars left in the company's account, you kidnapped me and asked for 5 million US dollars..."

Snow White raised her head slightly, looking at the woman faintly and said: "...Are you stupid?"

The woman's face flushed red, and she said somewhat angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, do you think I will believe your words? When you were in the supermarket, you were clearly discussing an advertising contract, and the remuneration alone was millions, how dare you say that you have no money?"

Snow White looked at her like an idiot: "That was an agreement signed between the company and an advertising company three years ago. The agreement was to shoot 12 commercials lasting 15 seconds in three years, changing once every quarter. Each shoot requires a production fee of 100,000 US dollars. If I breach the contract, I need to compensate the advertising company 1 million US dollars.

I finally managed to get the bank to work and loaned another 100,000 US dollars to pay the production fee. But the other party called and said that the celebrity's salary needs to be paid separately.

But I have no money left. In order to get this commercial out smoothly, I can only go into battle myself.

So today I spent three hours putting on this makeup and was going to buy some food at the supermarket and go to the advertising company. I didn't expect..."

Snow White raised her eyebrows slightly: "I think, the advertising company may have two reactions now. First, they think I breached the contract and directly file a lawsuit, asking me to pay millions of US dollars.

Second, they have already discovered my disappearance and reported it to the police.

I don't know which one you are willing to believe?"

The four kidnappers were dumbfounded.
