n“Boss, when we get the money, this child…” the burly man made a gesture across his neck.

nThe skinny man nodded. “Run as soon as you get the money.”

nAs for this child, the person who paid the money had already said it.

nHe could either just throw her in a random wilderness, or he could just kill her.

nA worthless little girl like her should not exist in this world.

nGu Chu was kidnapped without fail. The van passed through the city highway, and after bumping along the mountain road for some time, it finally stopped at a dilapidated wooden house..

nGu Chu was picked up by someone and casually tossed into the house.

n“I’ve brought her here. Did you call her?” The skinny man asked in a rough voice. Not long after, a soft and weak figure with pale skin walked out of the house.

nGu Chu opened her eyes wide. Oh, it was someone she knew.

n“I’ve already informed Gu Chu’s mother,” Bai Yiyi said coldly. “I really don’t understand why you have to kidnap a five-year-old kid when you can just kidnap Lin Xiaozhou.”

nBai Yiyi had lost a lot of weight after not being in public for a long time. Her skin, which had been well-maintained, was now like a dry field. It was sallow and pale, and her face was gloomy and decadent.

nShe was completely different from the goddess who used to be high and mighty.

n“They told me that Lin Xiaozhou and Zhao Yan are always together, so it’s hard to catch him.” The skinny man sat down and took out a bag of instant noodles to chew, “don’t look down on this five-year-old kid. She’s surrounded by rich people. Her mother and Zhao Yan have a complicated relationship. You know Zhao Yan, he has too much money to spend.”

nBai Yiyi snorted coldly.

nShe only wanted to see Lin Xiaozhou die.

nUnfortunately, Tang Chunxiu said that Gu Chu had to be dealt with first. In Tang Chunxiu’s opinion, Gu Manxi was the daughter of the Zhao family after all. Having an illegitimate child before marriage was a great humiliation! She had to deal with this little bastard, Gu Chu.

nAs for Lin Xiaozhou, Tang Chunxiu planned to find an opportunity to deal with him. After the previous incident, Zhao Yan was already on guard. It was not easy for strangers to get close to Lin Xiaozhou.

n“Auntie Bai, are you going to kill Chuchu?” Gu Chu sat obediently in the corner and greeted her with a smile.

nBai Yiyi glared at her. “As long as you’re obedient, we won’t kill you.”

nGu Chu smiled. “Then I’ll definitely be obedient.”

nThe shabby wooden house was dimly lit. The little girl hid in a half-dark and half-bright corner. The black and white shadows on her face shone brightly. The corners of her cherry-red lips curled up, and her pair of large, pitch-black eyes were gloomy.

nAlthough she was smiling, it gave off a chilling feeling.

nBai Yiyi frowned. This child’s smile always gave her a strange feeling. It didn’t seem like a smile that a five-year-old child should have.

nShe calmed her heart and comforted herself that she must have been overthinking things. After she received the ransom, she would flee abroad. There was no need to worry. One day, she would kill Lin Xiaozhou and take revenge for the great humiliation.

nOn the other side, Gu Manxi was discussing the project with the company’s employees at the business building.

nGu Manxi was smart and intelligent. She had done quite well in Zhao Yan’s company. Zhao Yan had promoted her to be the project director and was in charge of the latest project that exceeded 100 million yuan.

n“President Gu, the offer from Dawn Group is 20 million yuan.” The assistant handed over the blue folder as they walked into the elevator. “The meeting will start in half an hour. The president of Dawn Group will be attending.”

nGu Manxi flipped through the documents. “Let me take a look again. I have to raise the price.”

nThe elevator opened with a ding.

nA tall figure shrouded the elevator and stopped in front of Gu Manxi. Gu Manxi’s nose slightly twitched. She smelled a faint whiff of Bois D’argent…
