The kidnapper laughed heartily: "Since you can't guarantee the money will be in place on time, then I can't guarantee you anything either. I've already given you too much time, and my patience is gone.

Since you don't care whether this woman lives or dies, then I can only say sorry, I've been holding back for too long."

After saying this, the kidnapper hung up the phone and threw it onto the table with a thud.

The kidnapper looked at Lin Yuluo with a menacing glare and said: "Miss Lin, you heard our conversation just now. I really doubt you still have any status in the company. They don't seem to care whether you live or die."

Lin Yuluo glared angrily at the kidnapper and said: "Guo Tao, you despicable scoundrel, all this time I've been so good to you. As a bodyguard, how much do I pay you every month? I never expected you to treat me like this."

It was unbelievable that this kidnapper was once Lin Yuluo's bodyguard. People really have hidden depths; who knew he would kidnap her one day.

Guo Tao chuckled and said: "Young Miss Lin, do you think giving me a bit of salary each month is enough for me to be your bodyguard? You're underestimating me."

Lin Yuluo exclaimed in shock: "Did you plan to kidnap me from the start?"

Guo Tao said: "Of course not. Initially, I approached you to get close, hoping you'd fall in love with me. Then all your family's assets would be mine. But I realized that no matter what I did, you weren't very interested in me.

So I changed my strategy; since I couldn't get your money peaceably, I'd take it directly. It's a holiday, and if I don't make some money, it wouldn't be worth it."

Lin Yuluo was furious, her face livid with anger: "Guo Tao, you're a shameless bastard, not even human. People like you won't meet a good end."

Guo Tao laughed out loud: "You call me a bastard, and you're right. I am a bastard, and there's an even more beastly side of me you haven't seen. I've been wanting to have you for a long time, watching you prance around in front of me every day.

Before, I held back for today, but now I can't stand it any longer. If I wait any longer, there will be no chance."

Suddenly, Lin Yuluo felt a bit scared; she could see something wrong in Guo Tao's eyes.

"Guo Tao, what are you trying to do? You haven't received your money yet; don't you want it anymore?"

Guo Tao laughed: "Do you think that President Sun will dare not to transfer the money? Even if I'm playing with you now, as long as he calls, he has to obediently comply because he's saving you."

Lin Yuluo said in panic: "Don't mess around, or you won't get anything."

Guo Tao said: "Lin Yuluo, aren't you a bit naive? Even if I get the money, I will definitely have my way with you. Once I'm tired of playing, I'll just kill you and toss you in the sea. Do you think I'd really let you go back?"

Lin Yuluo shouted angrily: "Guo Tao, I never expected you'd lie even when you became a kidnapper. I must have been blind to trust you so much."

Guo Tao said: "Is it still useful to talk about this now? I'll give you two choices: first, killing you so that no one will know who did it."

"Guo Tao, don't even think about it. Even if I die, I won't let you have your way." Lin Yuluo said fiercely with defiance.

Guo Tao snorted coldly: "Even bound, I'm curious to see how you die, but perhaps you don't know how powerful I am."

Clearly, Guo Tao had been eyeing Lin Yuluo for a long time.

Suddenly, someone called out: "Who is it? Which friend is here? Come out and speak."

The voice was very loud, and everyone in the basement could hear it.

Among these people, there were some skilled individuals, including a cultivator with considerable strength, who could sense Ling Zhenfei's Divine Sense.

Ling Zhenfei walked out openly and directly approached the group of kidnappers.

All the robbers heard the sound and came toward Ling Zhenfei's direction, holding their weapons, ready to act.

"Huaxia people, what are you doing here?" someone asked in English, which Ling Zhenfei could understand.

Ling Zhenfei pointed at Guo Tao with his hand and said: "I'm here looking for him."

Guo Tao had just come over from Lin Yuluo and was still unsure of the situation when Ling Zhenfei pointed at him, making him even more bewildered.

"Who are you, and why are you looking for me?"

Ling Zhenfei said: "Brother Guo, don't you know why I'm looking for you?"

Some of the robbers recognized Guo Tao and assumed that Ling Zhenfei knew him when they heard him call Guo Tao 'Brother Guo'.

Actually, Ling Zhenfei was a bit helpless because among these robbers, not many were strong, but they all had guns. Besides those who went to extort and trick money in various jails, there were quite a few robbers.

Those were the guards, holding fully automatic submachine guns, ready to act at any moment.

Ling Zhenfei could, of course, rush in and kill them, but what if they started shooting? The people inside were too dense; a single spray would kill several people.

Ling Zhenfei came to save people, initially thinking Lin Yuluo was the only one, but there were so many people in here, presumably kidnapped in a similar manner.

So Ling Zhenfei wanted to rescue them in a neat way, making sure not to save Lin Yuluo at the cost of others' lives.

But just now, sensing the danger Lin Yuluo was in, he made a small noise to be deliberately detected. Otherwise, those inside wouldn't possibly have detected him.

Guo Tao looked at Ling Zhenfei with slight surprise and said: "Who are you? I've never seen you before."

Ling Zhenfei smiled and said: "Brother Guo, how could you forget? We drank together."

"Drank together? I can't remember," Guo Tao's face still bore a hint of shock.

Ling Zhenfei said: "You forgot, in Modu."

Ling Zhenfei judged that these robbers were temporarily assembled, unlikely to all know each other, just people doing the same thing for the same purpose.

Talking with Guo Tao, Ling Zhenfei quickly mentioned his name, making those around them lower their guard.

Ling Zhenfei knew he needed to find a way to ensure everyone's safety.

Guo Tao held the handgun in his hand, not relaxing his vigilance as he looked Ling Zhenfei up and down and said: "Young man, don't talk nonsense. I don't know you, and we've never drunk together in Modu."

Saying this, Guo Tao aimed his gun at Ling Zhenfei, and with his actions, the focus of the surrounding people shifted back to Ling Zhenfei, all guns aimed at him again.

Ling Zhenfei had foresight; as long as all the guns were directed at him, they wouldn't hit anyone else. Ideally, if they could form a circle, that would be even better.
