The man smirked slyly, half of his face emerging from the shadows, revealing none other than Mei Cheng, who was heavily indebted and fled.

“Go and confirm whether Mei Shu has reported to the police. If the cops are really involved, dismember this kid!”

“Yes!” The curly-haired guy immediately signaled his brothers nearby to go check.

Tang Long, tied to the chair, trembled in fear. “Boss, please don’t kill me. You have a grudge against my sister’s superior, right? Then go after them, not me. I don’t want to die, I really don’t want to die!”

“Stop the damn nonsense. Whether you live or die is up to my boss. Keep screaming, and I’ll sew your mouth shut!” The curly-haired guy threatened, pretending to reach for tools nearby.

Tang Long immediately grew frightened.

He quickly came up with an idea. “Bro, don’t hurt me. You guys want to deal with that woman who runs the company, right? 1 have a plan!”

“What plan could you possibly have?” The curly-haired guy sneered.

Tang Long hurriedly said, “You can use me to lure my sister out. Call her now; she’s probably at the company. That woman you want to retaliate against probably already knows I’ve been kidnapped. The best way to catch her off guard is to use me to lure my sister out. If that woman is with her, she’ll fall into your trap too! Bro, what do you think of my plan?”

Mei Cheng pondered for a moment. “That’s not a bad idea, but what if that woman doesn’t show up with your sister?”

“She won’t!” Tang Long affirmed, “My sister often talks about that woman at home. They seem to have a good relationship, so she’ll probably accompany my sister. Besides, if that woman doesn’t show up, my sister is still a woman. You won’t lose anything!”

Mei Cheng looked at him expressionlessly.

Tang Long quickly put on a pleasing smile. “Bro, to be honest, my family really doesn’t have that much money. Even if you sell my kidney, it won’t be worth that much. But if it’s my sister, it’s different. She’s a young and pretty woman who can help you earn a lot of money!”

At his words, Mei Cheng suddenly burst into laughter. “You little b*stard, willing to betray even your own sister to save yourself!”

“One must look out for oneself!” Tang Long said nonchalantly, “Besides, it’s just me and my sister in our family. At least I’m a man. My mom isn’t in good health, so I can take care of her in the future. What can my sister do as a woman? After she gets married, she’ll be like water thrown out, so it’s better to use her to save me. My mom will definitely agree!”

“Alright.” Mei Cheng chuckled, “Cooperate with us later, let your sister fall into our hands, and our debts will be settled. If you ever feel like playing again in the future, we’re always here to welcome you.”

Tang Long breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. “Okay, bro, don’t worry. When 1 cry a few times on the phone with my sister later, she’ll definitely soften up and listen to me!”

Mei Cheng signaled to the curly-haired guy.

Immediately understanding, the curly-haired guy picked up his phone and made a call.

Someone quickly answered on the other end. Tang Mei’s nervous voice came through the receiver, “Hello, how is my brother now? Please don’t harm him. I’m trying my best to gather the money. Please don’t hurt him!”

“Don’t worry, your brother is fine now.” The curly-haired guy switched on the speakerphone, and under Mei Cheng’s signal, continued, “I’m calling you this time to inform you of the location to hand over the money. Listen carefully. At 8 p.m. tonight, at the abandoned factory in the West City District. Just leave the money outside the factory’s iron gate. Once we confirm the amount, we’ll release your brother. Remember, if you dare to call the cops, be prepared to collect your brother’s corpse!”

With that, the curly-haired guy decisively hung up the phone.

Mei Shu swiftly typed on the keyboard, simultaneously pinpointing the location of the cellphone signal and the designated money drop-off point mentioned earlier. Surprisingly, they were in completely opposite directions.

“They deliberately lured us to such a remote location. They probably have no intention of letting Tang Mei’s brother go.”

Captain Liu glanced at it and reached a conclusion.

With his extensive experience in handling many kidnapping cases, these petty tricks couldn’t fool his eyes.

Mei Shu nodded in agreement. “Their goal probably isn’t just the money anymore. They’re likely targeting Tang Mei.”

Tang Mei’s heart raced with fear, her hands and feet ice-cold. “What should we do next? Will they really kill my brother?”

Captain Liu pondered for a moment. “Don’t worry, they still don’t know that you’ve called the police. Right now, they’re in the open, and we’re in the dark. We still have the initiative. I’ll immediately contact my colleagues to set up an ambush over there in advance.”

“Okay!” Tang Mei looked at Mei Shu again, her eyes full of hope. “As long as we can rescue my brother, I’m willing to go there as bait.”

“No.” Mei Shu quickly denied, “I’ll go with you. Just in case, it’s too dangerous for you to go alone..”
