Chapter 50

“Err…at least one hundred million dollars.”

One billion dollars was definitely too big an amount, so they took a big step back.

The leader spoke and looked at his partners. Everyone agreed and he nodded to confirm, “Yes, one hundred million dollars! Not a cent less, and that’s final! Or else…just wait to collect your woman’s corpse!”

To show his dominance, the leader ended the call before he could hear Li Hengzhi’s reply.

Very quickly after that, he started to doubt and the kidnappers gazed at one another. “Err…one hundred million dollars shouldn’t be a big amount for him, will it? He will bring the ransom over, won’t he?”

To them, getting the money was more important as there were no benefits if they were to kill a person.

However, how would the others know the answer? So, they finally looked at Qian Tao.

Qian Tao’s eyes were shut and she didn’t know they were looking at her. Someone asked her, “Miss Qian, your relationship with Mr. Li…should be good, right? He’ll be willing to take out one hundred million dollars, won’t he? We have taken a big step back!”

Sigh…

Qian Tao was sighing inside…

She had just cheated him of fifty million dollars. Was it possible for him to save her with one hundred million dollars?

Despite his confirmation just now, which brought about a sense of security, she was unsure as the amount was relatively huge.

Hence, she told the kidnappers, “If I tell you that we are not related, you won’t believe me, but one hundred million dollars? I don’t wish to die, but this is a huge amount and you’ve given him only two hours to prepare. Is it possible? Maybe I will still die in your hands eventually. Why not give me a more comfortable death? Sleeping pills?”

“Hey, Miss Qian, don’t be discouraged!” The kidnappers were not as fierce now as they thought of the one hundred million dollars they could get. They sat down to chat with her like a friend. “Mr. Li’s tone was completely different from that jerk Xiao Yuanhang’s! He will definitely bring the ransom in exchange for your life!”

Qian Tao thought, ‘What is happening? Do I need the kidnappers to console me now?’

She thought it was funny but she couldn’t laugh.

Xiao Yuanhang’s words still stabbed her heart like a knife and her heart was bleeding.

The kidnappers were right. One could see the difference in their attitudes. One who did not know the truth would think that Li Hengzhi really loved her.

As the kidnappers had nothing better to do, they surrounded her and chatted with her. The sound of thunder did not scare her that much when there were people talking to her. Slowly, Qian Tao learned the reason they wanted to kidnap Qian Churui.

It had something to do with business matters. They wanted Xiao Yuanhang to let them off the hook but he had refused. So, they thought that they would kidnap Qian Churui on their wedding day to force him to do so.

“Sigh! We didn’t know we would kidnap the wrong person!” The kidnappers sounded apologetic. “We have wrongly kidnapped Miss Qian and we have made you suffer. Don’t worry, we only want money. Mr. Li looks like he’s willing to give us the ransom we asked for. We’ll definitely not harm you. After receiving the ransom, we’ll let you go without hurting you a single bit.”

“All of you are to be pitied, but kidnapping is not right. You’d better solve the problems in a proper way.”

“If we had not been driven into a corner, we would never have used this extreme method! Xiao Yuanhang…is despicable! Miss Qian, you think so too, don’t you? He’s just cursed that you’d die! Is there such a cruel man? Good or bad, you are his wife’s sister!”
