wh... what do you mean?

he meixin was stunned. two big consortia? are you talking about the huo family and the wu family?

"it's a pity that they don't have what i want. otherwise, making a deal with them would definitely go smoothly." seeing that she meixin did not say anything, he continued, "i'll give your local government office a deadline of noon tomorrow. if they still do not do as we've requested, then i can only apologize, and your value will end here."

"if they do, i won't be able to leave this place alive, right?" when he mei xin heard this, she sneered before raising her head to look at the man before her.

when the man heard this, he was stunned for a moment before bursting out in laughter.

he suddenly moved his face closer to she meixin, keeping a very close distance between her and him. it was as if his long eyelashes were stabbing into she meixin's eyes.

"perhaps, you are smarter than i thought." he stared into she meixin's eyes for a long time, and she meixin's heart was as still as water as she stared back at him.

since she already knew that death awaited her, she did not want to struggle fearlessly. in this world, the only thing she could not let go of was her darling, but now that she had a father, she did not need to worry so much. if huo zui insisted on marrying the lily, she would send him out of the country.

it hurt her to think that her baby, at such a young age, wanted to live alone in a foreign country. she thought of the hardships she'd had in america for the past five years, and she didn't want her daughter to have the same miserable fate.

"so, what is your purpose in telling me all this now?" he mei xin did not know why, but every time she looked at this blue-eyed man, she felt a strange sensation. he had a different look when he killed, and a different look when they were negotiating. now that he was standing in front of her, another appearance, which one of them was the real him?

"i'm thinking about how far the two big chinese financial groups can go for you. if your government doesn't agree with my request, maybe i can make a deal with them. tell me, how much is your life worth?" the blue-eyed man said, opening the distance between them and heading for the window.

at this moment, she meixin's heart was beating like a drum. according to him, this meant that if the transaction with the local government did not succeed, he would turn to wu wei and huo jianji to extort from them.

would the hornet's nest use the money to redeem her? she didn't even dare to think about it.

as for wu wei, he no longer remembered her at all. it was impossible for him to come up with a huge sum of money to save a co-worker who only worked with him.

therefore, no matter what, she still had to die …

"i am not as important as you think. compared to the people who want me to live, there might be more people who want me to die. you might have wasted your time."

"really?" since that's the case, then let's give it a try. in any case, don't we still have time? " hearing that, her blue eyes turned slightly, and her gaze landed on he mei's bare feet, "i heard that your woman's feet are like the face of an arab woman, and cannot be seen by a stranger. when you see it... you have an idiom, what do you say? "

"promise me with your body? "you said that in ancient times …" she meixin did not know why he suddenly mentioned this. from his tone, it seemed that he had a little knowledge of chinese culture.

"ancient times? why not keep something as traditional as this? " as the blue-eyed man spoke, he walked over to the bed and grabbed he meixin's delicate feet.

"what are you doing?" he mei xin was alarmed, her feet reflexively retracted, but she was unable to retract them as they were firmly held in his hands.

"didn't you just say that you might not be as important as i thought? why don't we try? " he discovered that she meixin was suddenly filled with great interest due to her panic.

"what do you mean? how are you going to try? " she meixin was already panicking, unable to understand what the man in front of her was thinking.

"i heard that the person in charge of the consortium is your lover. would he be able to recognize your feet?" he gently caressed her ankle as he spoke with a sinister tone.

"you … "you want to …" he mei's heart chilled. he couldn't be thinking of using her foot as a bargaining chip to deliver it to huo jianji, right?

"relax, don't be so nervous. there's still a day and a half left. for the time being, we won't do anything to you." he had succeeded in making her sweat profusely on her forehead. after releasing her foot, he turned around and walked towards the door.

opening the door, he suddenly turned his head to look at the still terrified she meixin and said: "from now on, you can pray that someone is willing to save you." after that, he slammed the door shut, isolating she meixin from the outside world.

the huo corporation.

in the ceo's office on the top floor.

a gloomy atmosphere enveloped the entire room.

huo jiabao's eyes were glued to the computer monitor. it was unknown how long it had been since he'd slept, but his eyes were bloodshot. even the corners of his mouth had grown a fine stubble.

"ceo, the police are negotiating with the kidnappers right now, there shouldn't be a problem to rescue miss he." the new a.s.sistant, little w.a.n.g, couldn't help but urge huo jiu when he saw her gloomy face.

"see this tape?" huo jiabao asked mechanically without taking his eyes off the monitor.

"i saw it. didn't you say that there aren't any useful clues?" little w.a.n.g didn't understand huo jiabao's words.

"even if the police agreed to the demands of those gangsters, they still wouldn't let them go so easily." huo jiabao said in a deep tone. from the moment he saw the video, his heart had begun to sink.

he meixin was not blindfolded in the video. what did that mean?

she had probably seen the faces of the gangsters.

now the police say they don't know exactly which gang did it, because this time the kidnapper was a foreign gang, and now they take the hostages and ask for the release of their old g.o.dfather, diego, who was arrested by the police in q city fifteen years ago and imprisoned for fifteen years.

if diego was not released, then they would definitely tear up the tickets, but even if diego were released, it would be hard to say for sure that they would not tear up the tickets, because if they did not, it would mean that their ident.i.ties would be exposed.
