Chapter 144: Alright, Let’s Do It

Jing Chen was silent for a long time, as if he had caught the main point. “Kill the hostage directly? So you’re not doing this for money?”

Su Wan closed her eyes. Bai Lian really had a good plan!

It was all because of her! Su Wan didn’t know where such a huge grudge between them came from.

The tattooed man’s tone was melodious as he said lightly, “A hundred million. A woman’s life. It was worth it. The employer bought her life directly. It wasn’t the employer who asked you for money. It was me. So with a word from you, a billion will buy her. Otherwise, I’ll directly take her life.”

“Who is the employer and why do they want to kill her?”

Jing Chen asked warily. After a while, his voice sounded empty.

The tattooed man frowned and repeated impatiently, “A billion. Do you want it or not?”

“Yes, give me the address and the identity of the employer. I’ll give you another hundred million.”

“…Okay.”

The tattooed man smiled and agreed before hanging up.

Then, he raised his eyebrows.

She said casually, “This person’s name is Su Wan, right? Which Su, which Wan? I can’t get the employer’s name wrong.”

Su Wan was speechless. Although she had already guessed that this would be the outcome, she still did not expect it to really happen in front of her. Her heart ached…

It was not because of what Bai Lian had done, but because she was not sure what Jing Chen would choose.

Bai Lian endured the pain and suddenly regretted it. Her face was so pale that it made one’s heart palpitate. Even Bai Lian herself felt her heart throbbing. She had not expected the pain to be so unbearable.

Her expression was extremely bad, and she said angrily, “Give him the address later. Before that, we still have something to do.”

The tattooed man looked at her and nodded. He suddenly said, “After this is done, the money will be ours. Remember that.”

Bai Lian pursed her lips. “I know. I won’t forget you guys.”

When the tattooed man heard this, he relaxed and looked like he was in a good mood. He was even more concerned about Bai Lian. “Do you want me to treat your wounds? You can’t even withstand such a small injury. You’re so weak.”

Bai Lian rolled her eyes. “If it gets exposed, is it your fault? Just do your job well!”

With that, Bai Lian pursed her lips and smiled. “Su Wan, tell me, what can I do to make you willingly look for Jing Chen to save your life?”

Su Wan’s mouth was tightly sealed shut by tape and suddenly the tape was torn off by someone beside her.

She was in so much pain that her entire body trembled. The hot and painful feeling made her mouth immediately numb. Su Wan’s hands trembled in pain and she couldn’t help but bend down. It was too painful.

Bai Lian clicked her tongue in disdain. “How can this compare to my pain?”

Su Wan rolled her eyes in her heart and said angrily, “You deserve it, so you can only endure it. I’m different.”

Bai Lian was amused by her words.

“You’re about to die, yet you’re still so stubborn. Su Wan, let me show you the way. Do you want to tell Jing Chen that you were kidnapped and let him save you, or do you want them to teach you a lesson?”

The ridicule in Bai Lian’s words made Su Wan purse her lips slightly. She tilted her head and smiled. “I won’t call. Bai Lian, how did you come up with such a flawed idea?”

“Then you’re still too naive.”

After Bai Lian finished speaking, she raised her chin at the silent scarred man.

The scarred man understood and walked up to Su Wan. He glanced at her and said coldly, “The whip or the fist. Choose.”

“…”

Su Wan was stunned. She narrowed her eyes. “Since I’m the employer, do I still have to get beaten up?”

Bai Lian smiled brazenly. “You’re just a scapegoat. It doesn’t matter if you die or live. Anyway, Jing Chen won’t choose you, so he naturally won’t be able to see your face. Even if he does, Su Wan, he will only think that you’re putting on an act for him.”

“Don’t worry about anything else. This isn’t something you should be thinking about.”

“Alright, let’s do it.”

Su Wan widened her eyes and took a step back.

But it was useless. Not only were her hands tied behind her back, but her entire body was also being restrained and stared at. She did not have the slightest ability to resist.

Therefore, when the tape was tightly stuck to her mouth again, she had no way out either!

Su Wan’s hair was grabbed by the scarred man. He went straight to a pillar and tied her up tightly with a rope.

She saw Bai Lian’s smug and arrogant smile.
