In an inconspicuous house at the end of a back alley, Chen Shaoan slowly opened his eyes amid bouts of unbearable headaches.
The moment he opened his eyes, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and he had to close his eyes again.
After another pause for a while, he endured the pain and slowly opened his eyes again.
Entering the eye, you see a square space.
A worn-out Eight Immortals table covered with dust, a lame chair, and the broken bed he was lying on now.
Recalling the last scene before he lost consciousness, he stood up suddenly.
Then came the more severe pain in the back of my head.
He held his head with both hands in pain and couldn't help shouting, "It hurts so much, it hurts me to death!"
The tentacles were sticky, and when he put his hands in front of his eyes, he saw they were covered in blood.
He yelled "Ah" again.
Somehow, while being frightened, he suddenly remembered the way Su Nianyun bumped into the coffin.
Reluctantly getting off the broken bed, he came to the door and wanted to open it and go out.
But after shaking a few times, the door couldn't be opened.
He had no choice but to go to the only window again and shook it vigorously. The window was sealed with everyone outside and it didn't move at all.
As a last resort, he returned to the door, banged it hard and shouted loudly.
"Help, help, is there anyone?"
"Help!"
"Is there anyone, please help me!"
After shouting, Chen Shaoan not only had a headache, but his throat also started to smoke.
Fortunately, someone seemed to have heard his call, as footsteps came from outside the door, approaching from far away.
He slapped the door again, "Help, help..."
Soon, the lock sounded, and the next moment, the door was opened.
Before he could see the person clearly or even say anything, Chen Shaoan was kicked in the chest.
The force was so strong that he was kicked away.
After falling heavily to the ground, Chen Shaoan's vision was darkened for a long time. After finally dispelling the darkness, he finally saw clearly that there were three masked men entering the door.
"You, what are you? Why did you bring me here?" Chen Shaoan was horrified.
The three of them stood there, feeling very oppressive. He was so frightened that he kept shrinking back.
"What do we do?" The leader and the two people next to him looked at each other, and the three of them laughed "haha" at the same time.
"You are really ignorant." The leader took a few steps forward and looked at Chen Shao'an condescendingly. "To tell you the truth, the three of us brothers are kidnappers."
"Kidnapping?" Chen Shaoan was stunned.
"Yes, kidnapping!"
The leader nodded, "Our brothers have always been interested in wealth rather than life. As long as you cooperate with us and let your family get the ransom, we will let you go."
"Really just... want a ransom? Are you really not going to hurt me?" Chen Shaoan asked stutteringly.
"We kidnappers also have kidnapping rules. As long as you pay the ransom honestly and don't cheat, your lives will be spared!"
Chen Shaoan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the other party's rules. It was easy to say anything as long as it cost his life.
He had just returned from pretending to die at the border, but instead of having his fake bones buried at home, he himself died outside without any incense.
When he thought of this, he hurriedly said, "I don't know how much you want, but as long as the price is reasonable, my family will definitely pay the ransom!"
The leader nodded, "Yes, you are quite cooperative. As long as you cooperate, you will suffer less."
He put pen, paper, ink, etc. on the table, "Write about the person who can redeem you."
"Okay, I'll write now..." Chen Shaoan got up from the ground with weak legs and was about to write a letter to his mother.
But the moment he picked up the pen, he suddenly thought that he was now a dead person to the Chen family.
If he wrote a letter asking for ransom at this time, the Chen family would not believe it, let alone give him a ransom.
Seeing that he didn't move his pen, the leader slapped Chen Shaoan on the shoulder, "What, is there no one who will redeem you?"
"If I can't send you away without receiving the ransom, I will have no choice but to dig your own hole and send you away..."
As he spoke, the leader gradually exerted force on his hands. Chen Shaoan's shoulders could not bear the pressure and he sat down on the ground.
"Brother, I, I am not redeemed, I am just thinking about my words..." Chen Shaoan explained reluctantly.
"Okay, then you should think about it slowly. It's best to make yourself miserable, so that your family can get the money faster!"
The three of them just stood there with their chests crossed, staring at him as he wrote a letter asking for help.
Chen Shaoan got up in a hurry. Fortunately, he not only had the Chen Mansion, but also Zhou Yao in Ping'an Lane.
Even if Zhou Yao had no money, she would definitely find a way to go to Chen Mansion to explain the situation.
Originally, he didn't want to let his mother know that he was still alive so early.
But now he has no choice, he doesn't want to be ripped off by the kidnappers.
It is enough for Zhou Yao to go to Chen Mansion to prove that he is still alive.
As long as his mother believes that he is still alive, he will be able to get out of here soon.
Halfway through writing, he raised his head and said, "Everyone, I wonder how much ransom you want?"
The three of them looked at each other and the leader said, "Then thirty thousand taels, we three brothers each have ten thousand taels!"
"Okay!" Chen Shaoan hurriedly wrote down thirty thousand taels, then dried the letter and handed it to the leader.
The leader took it, took one look at it, and said, "Just stay in the house and we will let you go as soon as we see the money!"
After saying that, the three of them went out and the door was locked again.
As soon as the three of them walked out, Chen Shaoan began to pace anxiously. He had never been kidnapped since he was a child.
On the one hand, he firmly believed that Zhou Yao would try her best to save him, but on the other hand, he was afraid that no one would believe that he was kidnapped.
At this time, the three people who walked to the outer courtyard took off their masks and laughed.
These three people were none other than Su Ming and his two subordinates, Su Wen and Su Wu.
"Boss, take a look at what he wrote?"
Su Ming opened the letter and curled his lips disdainfully, "You marry your mistress, but you still have an outside wife. Such a man must be taught a lesson!"
"What the boss said is, what should we do next?"
"Next?"
Su Nianyun took out the fire certificate and lit the letter mercilessly.
"The next step is to beat him up, of course."
"We want to give him hope and make him think that we have sent the letter, but the other party is determined not to pay the ransom."
"Then let him write a letter like this every day and beat him every day for seven days first!"
"Okay!" Su Wen and Su Wu nodded excitedly, "We brothers are the best at beating people!"
This is the task assigned by Su Nianyun to Su Ming.
Su Nianyun asked him to lead seven people to monitor Ping'an Lane inside and outside. Monitoring Zhou Yao's movements was second, and arresting Chen Shao'an was the main one.
In order to make the game more fun, Su Nianyun did not allow the two people to meet.
Chen Shaoan waited anxiously in his room from dawn to dusk. Just when he thought there might not be any results today, the three masked men finally came back.
The three people who entered the door beat him up hard without any explanation.
"Big brothers, please tell me if you have anything to say..." Chen Shaoan was beaten until he couldn't help but beg for mercy.
