Secretary Song took the initiative to pour her a cup of hot tea and patiently advised, “CEO Chen’s business hasn’t been smooth recently. It’s probably not a wise move to offend the Shi family at this time.”
“Doesn’t she just have a good family background? What’s so great about her? Is your Lin family so inferior to the Shi family?”
The more she spoke, the angrier she became. She only cared about venting the frustration in her heart with her best friend and actually didn’t close the door for a moment. She didn’t think through what she said.
Mrs. Lin’s expression darkened, and her tone was not as gentle and patient as before. “In the end, you and Mrs. Zhuo were the ones who provoked this matter. I’ve long advised you not to get too close to the Zhuo family, but you didn’t listen!”
“How did 1 not listen to you? 1 used to stay far away from her. This time, 1 just happened to see her in the dressing room.” She pulled Mrs. Chen’s hand aggrievedly. Sensing her anger, her attitude softened.
Mrs. Lin couldn’t bear to criticize her best friend. She sighed softly and said, “Don’t cause trouble for the Shi family in the future. Next time, I’ll invite Shen Xian to a gathering. Are you coming?”
“Come! 1’11 definitely come!” Mrs. Chen didn’t dare to have any objections and agreed to Mrs. Lin’s words.
Outside the door, Shi Man and Yi Zheng looked at each other and smiled. They suddenly felt that there was no point in going in now. Before the Lin family sent someone to invite them, she quietly went to the changing room to change her clothes and slipped out of the banquet with Yi Zheng.
The two of them were about to find a place to sit down for a meal when Shi Man suddenly received a call from Shi Mu.
After the call was picked up, she realized that Su Tang had not returned yet.
“I’ve been waiting at the school gate today. When there was no one else, I left first. 1 thought she went back on her own and missed me. 1 didn’t expect her to still not be back.”
“I understand. 1’11 call her and ask.” Shi Man frowned and dialed Su Tang’s phone number, but the phone was switched off.
She suddenly looked up at Yi Zheng. Her hands and feet were cold as she said, “Something must have happened to Su Tang.”
“Don’t be anxious. I’ll get someone to check the surveillance cameras.” Yi Zheng frowned and informed Tang Zhe. Before he could make a call, his arm was suddenly grabbed by Shi Man.
“No need.” The corners of her lips curled up into a sly smile. “If it’s really Shi Jing who did it, then she’s walking into a trap.”
In order to prevent anything from happening to Su Tang, Shi Man was already prepared. As long as she still had the brooch she had given her, no matter where she was taken by Shi Jing, Shi Man could quickly find her location.
The cell phone was connected to the hidden location in the brooch. A blinking bright spot appeared in the middle of the screen. It was only a short ten minutes away from their current location.
Shi Man and Yi Zheng did not dare to delay. After getting into the car, Yi Zheng personally drove in the direction of the location.
The dilapidated residential building was filled with trash everywhere. A nauseating smell wafted from the corridor, and an unpleasant smell swept in as the door opened and closed.
Shi Jing avoided it in disgust. She pinched her nose and said impatiently, “Hurry up and hand over the money. I’ll guard the door for you.”
“Alright, we haven’t played with virgins yet! Sister Jing is really generous!” A few men in suits rubbed their fists and drooled. Some of them even unbuckled their belts on the spot.
Shi Jing sneered as a trace of disdain flashed across her eyes; her attitude was a little arrogant. “Then don’t talk nonsense after you go out! Otherwise, there won’t be such a good thing in the future!”
“Yes, yes, yes, we understand.” The men bowed and thanked her, treating her like a living Buddha.
When they pushed open the door of the room, they realized that the girl tied to the bed inside was actually very beautiful. She did not look like someone who could be tasted with just a few hundred dollars. Their faces immediately revealed a look of joy. Their intuition told them that this adventure was worth it!
When Su Tang woke up, she realized that she was tied to a hard bed board. The walls of the ceiling above her had fallen off, so it could be seen that it was a house that no one had lived in for a long time.
Her clothes were still intact, which made her heave a sigh of relief. However, her limbs were tied to the four corners of the bed, making her moan uncomfortably.
When Shi Jing heard the commotion, she walked up to her with a sinister smile and patted her face. “You’re awake? It seems that this medicine is really good. Work hard later. I’m still counting on you to earn me an escape fee!”
“Shi Jing! What are you doing to me?” Su Tang waited for her in horror. She tried her best to retract her hands and feet, but she could only feel a sharp pain in her ankle and wrist.
“What do I want to do?” The expression on Shi Jing’s face turned dark. She narrowed her eyes, which were filled with ferocity. “Shi Man forced me to end up like this! She was the one who told the police about me. She caused me to be in such a sorry state. 1 can’t do anything to her.. Can’t you stand in on her behalf?”
