Binhai City, shrouded in darkness, has bright lights and row upon row of high-rise buildings, filled with urban prosperity. This is an emerging port city with a very rapid economic development and is full of vitality and vitality. Although it is past midnight at this moment,
The city is still noisy.
It's just that these prosperous appearances have little to do with Xia Ruoxue. As a resident singer in Liquor, she only hopes to exchange her singing for salary so that she can support her family. In addition, she really
Don't dare to think too much.
At this moment, she was performing an affectionate rendition of Rene Liu's "Know or Not" on the stage. Her heavenly singing voice conquered all the audience present. Even the nouveau riche men who didn't understand music couldn't help but burst into cheers. Only
A man sitting in the corner did not move. He was holding a cup with strong vodka in his hand. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Xia Ruoxue on the stage.
She is probably almost twenty years old this year. She is wearing a very decent floral dress, which looks a little conservative, but it also reveals her exquisite figure vaguely, exuding a youthful atmosphere.
. Different from other singers in the wine, she did not wear heavy makeup or scantily clad clothes like other singers. Instead, she only wore light makeup. Her fair and tender skin showed a natural pink color, and her black hair was draped over her shoulders.
On, in this luxurious environment filled with the smell of alcohol, there is a different taste.
"Mr. Chen, the arrangements you have made have been made." A man approached him and reported to him.
The man known as Mr. Chen glanced sideways at him, put down the cup in his hand, showed an elusive smile, nodded, and looked at Xia Ruoxue on the stage, who had already started singing the next song.
He stood up and walked slowly outside. When he came to the door, he looked back at Xia Ruoxue, left without saying anything, and disappeared at the door of the wine.
After Xia Ruoxue finished singing the last song, she hurried to the backstage, not daring to stay for a moment longer. In order not to attract the attention of the men who came here to have fun, she always dressed herself up deliberately, but
No matter what she did, she couldn't hide her natural beauty and her unique melancholy eyes. She didn't know how attractive these things were to men who were accustomed to having fun in the romantic field.
Less than a month after she came here, she was in constant trouble. Men kept asking her to accompany her as a drinker, and there were even other more outrageous requests. Fortunately, the owner of this bar had a strong background, and the people who asked for trouble would be somewhat
I'm afraid, so for the time being, everything is fine.
She returned to the backstage, glanced at the watch on the wall, and wondered why her brother hadn't come to pick her up today? She opened her personal belongings cabinet, and the cleaning lady next to her said casually: "Xiaoxue, your mobile phone
It seemed like it rang several times."
Her heart was beating wildly. Could it be that something was wrong with her brother? She quickly found her cell phone and looked through the missed calls. Sure enough, it was her brother.
She dialed back with trembling hands, but there was a deep male voice on the phone: "Hello, Xia Ruoxue, your brother owes us money. You have to deliver the money to the western suburbs warehouse within two hours, otherwise we won't let you know."
Blame us for being rude."
"How much does he owe you? What did you do to him?" After hearing this, Xia Ruoxue felt as if she had been hit on the head, her head was buzzing, but she still persisted and asked in a trembling voice. In the afternoon
, my brother said he was going out to find a job, so he cooked him a bowl of noodles and wished him good luck. He finished eating the noodles and left happily. But how could it happen in such a blink of an eye?
"Five million, delivered within two hours, not a penny less, but our boss said that if you are willing to stay with him overnight, we can consider giving you a discount. Maybe I will be happy and forgive all these debts."
Maybe." The man's evil laughter came from the phone.
Xia Ruoxue ignored his obscene language and asked, "Can you let me say a few words to my brother?"
"Okay, you wait." The other party agreed.
A few seconds later, my brother Xia Ruofeng's voice came over the phone: "Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue!" with an anxious mood.
"Brother, how are you? They didn't beat you?" Xia Ruoxue was so anxious that she was about to cry.
"No, it's okay, Xiaoxue, I don't know how to tell you, it's all my fault!" Xia Ruofeng's tone was filled with regret.
"It doesn't matter, just wait, brother, I will definitely find a way." Xia Ruoxue comforted him. In fact, she was very confused. She had no one here, so where could she find money?
The kidnapped man answered the phone and said viciously: "The clock starts from now on. Remember, if you want your brother to come back alive, don't call the police. Do you hear me?"
Before she could reply, the call was hung up.
Xia Ruoxue only felt that her whole body was about to be unable to hold up, and she was about to collapse. She pressed against the cold wall, trembling constantly. What should she do? What should she do?
"Xiaoxue, are you okay?" At some point, the wine boss Shao Yingqi had stood next to her and asked her with concern.
Only then did Ruoxue come to her senses, she cried and took Shao Yingqi's hand, choking with sobs and said: "Mr. Shao, my brother is in trouble. He owes someone money. If I don't send the money over,
, he will die!"
Shao Yingqi pondered for a moment, then raised his hand to signal her: "Come to my room and discuss it in detail, and I'll see if I can help you."
Ruoxue took her handbag and followed him to his room.
Ruoxue sat on the sofa where he was visiting guests, holding the coffee he brewed for her in her hand, looking at Shao Yingqi with anxious eyes. In this strange city, the only one she could believe in was him, and he was the one in her own life.
When she was desperate, he provided her with this job opportunity and helped her get rid of the troubles around her. She believed that he was a good person and would definitely find a way to help her.
"Xiaoxue, you know, if you ask me to come up with so much money in a short time, I have no choice, but I know there is a person who can. As long as I ask, he may pay." Shao Yingqi hesitated again and again, but still
explain.
"As long as I can save my brother, I will agree to any conditions!" Ruoxue blurted out.
