Chapter 4: Come Save Me After You're Done Being Busy~

Twelve years later, in Tongcheng.

In an abandoned and gloomy warehouse, the air reeked of a putrid smell.

Mi Shen's hands were tied behind her back to the chair as she silently watched the old-fashioned television in front of her, which was broadcasting a news report—

"Li Family's fifth young miss, Mi Shen, has been kidnapped by bandits. It has been twenty-four hours and Li Fengchang, the fourth young master, has refused the Supervisor's assistance. He is now holding a meeting inside the T.R Corporation. Regarding how to rescue the fifth young miss, the young master has made no direct response..."

"Click"—

The TV was switched off, and the female presenter's voice came to an abrupt halt, while Mi Shen's hair was yanked up roughly.

"Are you really the Li Family's fifth young miss or not??"

What met her eyes was a middle-aged man who was nothing but skin and bones, around forty years old. His eyes were filled with a fierce light, "At this damn moment, he's still in the mood for meetings? Does he seriously not care about your life or death at all?"

Mi Shen forced a helpless smile, "Big brother, you really hit the nail on the head there, Li Fengchang really doesn't!"

The two men who kidnapped her must be from out of town, right? Nearly everyone knew, yet these two seemed to not understand at all, even asking such a foolish question.

"Quit the damn nonsense and make her call Li Fengchang!" Another kidnapper threw over an old mobile phone.

Kidnapper A: "Phone number!"

Speaking of which, these two kidnappers were really unlucky, having held Mi Shen for twenty-four hours and still not having been able to extract Li Fengchang's number from her.

Mi Shen's eyes shifted, knowing that if she continued to hold out, she might provoke the men further.

A cornered dog will leap over a wall, let alone humans. She didn't want to lose her life in vain.

"Hold on, let me think..." She obediently recited the number, and Kidnapper A, excited, brought the phone to her ear, ordering, "Tell him to come save you!"

"Dial tone—dial tone—dial tone—"

The phone rang many times before someone lazily picked up.

On the other end, a deep and magnetic male voice said, "Hello."

"Fengchang—" Mi Shen called out mournfully, yet her voice lacked any fear or trepidation, instead carrying a hint of languor, "Hey, did you water the flowers on the balcony for me? I totally forgot to bring them inside. The sun is so strong today, I wonder if they'll get scorched... and also, my socks are drying on the balcony, if you could bring them in so they don't blow away, I just bought them the day before yesterday... and also, have you fed Daxiong? Please don't let my darling go hungry..."

Mi Shen chirped on cheerfully until suddenly she felt a chill on her neck. Kidnapper A was holding a sharp fruit knife against her throat.

"Talk about the important matters!"

Mi Shen saw the veins on Kidnapper A's forehead bulging and twitching, no doubt a sign of his inner collapse.

They had thought kidnapping Mi Shen would be a big score, but it turned out like this. Li Fengchang seemed not to care a jot about this girl's life and death, and the Li Family seemed all too calm. Now they were really stuck between a rock and a hard place!

"Oh, okay." Mi Shen quickly agreed, then kindly reminded, "Big brother, could you please move the knife to the side a bit? If I get cut, it might lower my value, haha."

Kidnapper A's gaze flickered and he actually moved the knife away slightly, but his eyes remained fiercely fixed on Mi Shen, "Hurry up! Don't play any tricks!"

Mi Shen thought: With your intelligence trying to play kidnapper, if I wanted to trick you, I would have had you spinning in circles already.

But she only dared to criticize them internally, while on the surface she showed a sycophantic smile and spoke into the phone, "Fengchang, could you come rescue me when you're done with your meeting?"

"You..." Kidnapper A really felt like he was going to spew blood with anger.

Mi Shen, however, lifted her innocent little face, "He hung up!"

Kidnapper A: "..."

Kidnapper B couldn't sit still any longer. He rushed over, pushing Kidnapper A aside, and fiercely pinched Mi Shen's cheek, "Last thirty minutes. If Li Fengchang doesn't show up, I'll end your life with one stroke."
