Shen Yunzhi's brain completely shut down at that moment and went blank.
Xiao Yongming's rough hands suddenly grabbed the back of her neck and lifted her up from the chair like a chicken.
The rag stuffed in her mouth made all her efforts to stop her whimpering in vain.
Xiao Yao is crazy?
Does he know what that is?!
Shen Yunzhi:"Woooooo!"
The hemp rope was still tightly bound to her wrists, which was painful.
Before she could wink, she wanted to send a message to Xiao Yao.
The next second, her eyes were also covered by Xiao Yongming's men.
An arrogant force violently dragged her out.
Shen Yunzhi staggered, his knees and elbows hitting the cold, hard ground or wall, but the pain was far less than the overwhelming confusion in his heart.
The darkness and unknown direction of movement intensified Shen Yunzhi's confusion.
It wasn't until the familiar "ding" sound sounded in her mind that she regained her concentration.
The system is online, and his tone is full of exhaustion and a hint of haste after completing a high-intensity task. "Host? What's wrong with you? I just brought another host to escape from death in the infinite flow copy. Good guy, those perverted players tortured the host in that plane as if they were Japanese. Are you okay here?"
Shen Yunzhi was almost anxious. "Don't push me too hard. Xiao Yao is kidnapped with a bomb tied to his body. How can he be saved?"
The system was stunned for a moment.
Shen Yunzhi Isn't this a vacation plane?
It was obviously supposed to be just playing house, but it didn't even put its thoughts on Shen Yunzhi. How could it be so exciting?
Shen Yunzhi was so anxious that he spoke very fast and urged, "Give me some super powers quickly, I'm going to beat that old guy Xiao Yongming into a pulp!"
"This is not possible." The system said solemnly, "According to the system rules, I cannot provide extraordinary abilities or props that exceed the basic setting of the real wealthy plane."
Forcibly loading will cause chaos in the plane rules and lead to the risk of unpredictable collapse.
If they could do this, it would be no less than the appearance of an interstellar spaceship in the world of cultivating immortals, and a single electromagnetic gun could defeat a group of Nascent Soul bosses.
AK47 or tank armor appeared in the Savage Beast World, and a box of arms directly turned the Savage Age into the era of hot weapons.
The zombies of the apocalypse come out with a super mecha as tall as Ultraman. If you can live in the mecha, who will bother to fight the zombies and build a base?
Now that everything is broken, can we still play?
Therefore, the system's props and assistance to the host have serious limitations.
Shen Yunzhi I hope for the stars and the moon to bring the system back, but all I get is such nonsense?
Shen Yunzhi Just scolded the system as a waste, and then the system finally gave a reasonable solution.
System: "It's no problem if I superimpose the buff of a sharpshooter or a bomb disposal expert on you. I'll help you get out of trouble first."
Shen Yunzhi thought she needed to cooperate with something, or wait for the system to buff her.
In the end, she didn't need to do anything at all.
"Ugh!"
The two Xiao Yongming men who were dragging Shen Yunzhi roughly were suddenly stopped in their steps!
"Crack!"
There was a teeth-piercing snap, and the man on the left who was holding Shen Yunzhi's arm didn't even have time to see the person clearly, and the wrist holding the knife was twisted in reverse by a huge force.
The severe pain caused him to lose strength instantly, and he let go of Shen Yunzhi with a groan.
The other subordinate reacted a little faster, and when he was frightened, he was about to shoot, but he was killed again and again.
The whole process happened in a blink of an eye, and Shen Yunzhi felt the force holding him suddenly loosen up.
Then there was the muffled sound of heavy objects falling to the ground and the brief sound of bones dislocating.
She was blindfolded, her hearing became extremely sharp, her heart was in her throat, and she didn't know what was happening.
Then the black cloth blindfolded was taken off:
"Sister Yun Zi!"
The dazzling light made Shen Yunzhi subconsciously squint his eyes. When his eyes were focused, he saw that it was Chen Lin who was bringing someone.
Seeing an acquaintance, Shen Yunzhi burst into tears and cried with joy.
The rag in her mouth was also neatly removed by Chen Lin.
"Ahem..." Shen Yunzhi ignored the discomfort in his throat and the pain in his wrist and grabbed Chen Lin's arm.
"Go and save Xiao Yao."
Abandoned warehouse.
"It's time to show your sincerity and ask your people to transfer one billion US dollars to this overseas account." Xiao Yongming tossed a note. "Get the helicopter ready, I want to leave here immediately and go to the high seas!"
Xiao Yao's eyes fell calmly on Xiao Yongming's face, which was distorted with excitement.
Xiao Yao picked up the piece of paper with the account written on it. His posture was very calm, and it didn't look like he was being threatened at all. "The money and the plane can be arranged. Before that, I want to ask a question."
Xiao Yongming frowned and said impatiently, "What?"
Xiao Yao spoke slowly, "Ten years ago, when you were designing my parents, did you ever think for even a moment that my father was the eldest brother who raised you personally?"
"Up until the accident, he was still begging for help for your unfinished project."
The air in the warehouse was frozen.
Xiao Yongming The muscles on his face twitched violently, and were immediately covered with deeper resentment.
This time, he did not pretend that he was innocent in the kidnapping.
He seemed to be stung by Xiao Yao's words, and as if he had finally found an outlet to vent his anger, he suddenly raised his voice and saliva flew everywhere:
"Brother? Stop being so hypocritical here! The old man only has eyes for you! Just because my mother had difficulty in giving birth to me, the old man blames all the bad luck on me! He is also his son, why did your father have everything when he was born?"
"And what about me? I have to be like a fucking beggar, following him around asking for scraps?!"
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and the jealousy and resentment he had accumulated over the years spewed out like poison:
"He guarded me as much as he guarded a thief! He insisted on holding up funds and said I was rash! If he was willing to help me, how could I have ended up in that situation?! It was all because of him! It was your family who forced me! It's all because of you that I am here today!"
Xiao Yao watched him quietly and hysterically.
He couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
It's resentment and sadness.
Xiao Yao obviously had the answer in his mind many years ago.
But until Xiao Yongming admits it, it's still hard to believe that this is really Xiao Yongming's handiwork.
It's this brother-in-law who was raised by his father.
Xiao Yao Coming here alone is definitely not putting himself at risk.
He just wanted to hear Xiao Yongming say these words himself.
where his family died.
Xiao Yao sighed, "Okay, now that you're done, you can go and die."
Almost at the same moment when his voice fell.
A tiny red light spot suddenly appeared in the middle of Xiao Yongming's eyebrows.
Xiao Yongming suddenly raised his head as if he realized something.
Shen Yunzhi Here, the atmosphere is also extremely tense.
Shen Yunzhi held on to Chen Lin and shook it. "Go, go, go!"
Chen Lin and Xiao Yao are connected to Bluetooth headsets. He can know that there is no problem with Xiao Yao.
But when he saw Shen Yunzhi looking like he was almost scared to death, the words "Brother Xiao is okay" that came to his lips turned around in Chen Lin's throat.
... and he swallowed it back again by accident.
An idea that was almost a prank, perhaps to give Brother Xiao a boost, popped up at an inappropriate time.
Chen Lin deliberately showed a heavy and complicated expression on his face, and his voice was very low, solemn as if he was revealing a major secret:
"Sister Yun Zi, my first priority is to ensure your absolute safety. This is the death order from President Xiao..."
He continued to speak, and his tone became more serious. "If, I mean if, President Xiao has an accident this time, you must live well. This is what he wants to see most."
"..."
Wait.
Shen Yunzhi's eyes opened wide, filled with unbelievable confusion. "... Huh?"
Chen Lin pretended to be presentable, as if he had made up his mind, and dropped another bombshell. "There are some things that maybe shouldn't be said now, but Brother Xiao made a will a long time ago, asking you to inherit his property."
Xiao Yao on the other end of the phone was caught off guard and heard Chen Lin's nonsense. "..."
When did he make his will?
Chen Lin observed Shen Yunzhi's blank expression for a moment, and suddenly felt that he was leading an evil person.
He scratched his head in embarrassment.
But the atmosphere has come to this point, and it would be a waste of time if we don't continue.
"He knew the danger, but still chose to trade himself for you, Sister Yun Zi. Haven't you realized what he really thinks about you?"
Chen Lin didn't even know that Xiao Yao had already self-destructed at that time.
Xiao Yao cursed twice in his mind before whispering into the headset, "Stop talking nonsense, I'll be right over."
Shen Yunzhi My mind is in a state of confusion now.
An indescribable sour feeling suddenly surged into the nasal cavity.
What followed was a deeper panic and something heavy that even she couldn't identify.
She sniffed her sore nose, her throat was sore, and she began to speak completely irrelevant words incoherently:
"I originally made a plan to travel around the world a month ago, and I calculated the remaining money to invest in my brother's new project. He said it would be a sure profit, with at least hundreds of thousands of dividends every month."
Don't talk about Chen Lin. I don't know why Shen Yunzhi suddenly started talking about this.
Even Shen Yunzhi himself doesn't know.
She seemed to have lost her logic, and just relied on instinct to pour out some of the thoughts that had been suppressed in her heart recently:
"Some time ago, I got excited and found an agent. I planned to use the money to buy a house at Capital City."
Shen Yunzhi sobbed. "It's so expensive! I sold five houses in S City, and I can barely afford the one in Capital City!"
With the money, she could live in peace for the rest of her life, just buy a house!
She didn't know what evil had taken hold of her at the time. The agent made nonsense and said, "Although the location here is expensive, most of Capital City's rich people live here. It's okay to have a party and have a dinner. The privacy is very good. You see, the king of the building in front is where Xiao Yao lives. Xiao Yao, you know? The richest man lives here, so you know how valuable this place is."
Then she agreed out of nowhere.
"House prices are falling across the country... Why aren't Capital City falling?" The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she became, and tears began to fall down again.
Shen Yunzhi didn't know why he was like this. He became more and more confused and cried "Wow".
It is incompatible with the current atmosphere.
I don't know whether I feel sorry for my stupidity and spent more than half of my savings to buy a house in Capital City, or whether I am worried about the safety of Xiao Yao.
She suddenly wanted to let Xiao Yao know about this.
--I know she had a lot of fun during New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, and I know she wants to move away from S City and settle down in Capital City.
She just wanted to say this, but she also wanted Xiao Yao to know that she actually understood Xiao Yao's thoughts.
"..." Chen Lin didn't expect Shen Yunzhi's reaction to be so big.
When he saw Shen Yunzhi crying, he suddenly felt guilty.
Chen Lin wanted to tell Shen Yunzhi that Xiao Yao would be back soon, but he saw her crying like this inexplicably because of the high price of buying a house.
Chen Lin could only squeeze out a sentence of comfort, "What...Sister Yun Zi, Capital City House prices are indeed quite strong, don't cry, Brother Xiao he..."
Before Chen Lin finished speaking, Xiao Yao rushed over.
Xiao Yao raised his hand and slapped Chen Lin unceremoniously on the back of the head. The force was not light, and there was a muffled "snap" sound.
"Ouch!" Chen Lin shouted in pain, covering his head and grinning.
Xiao Yao ignored him and turned to Shen Yunzhi, whose shoulders were twitching from crying.
There were tears on her face, her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked pitiful and embarrassed.
Xiao Yao Looking at her like this, there was a rare and almost imperceptible stagnation on her face.
It was like I didn't know what expression or words to use to deal with this completely unexpected scene.
It took several seconds for him to hold back a sentence: "... Don't cry, I developed that property. Whichever one you want, I will give it to you directly."
Shen Yunzhi was a little confused for a moment when he heard Xiao Yao's voice.
She raised her head blankly and looked at Xiao Yao who suddenly appeared through her hazy tearful eyes.
My first reaction was to think that I was overly sad and hallucinating.
Until Chen Lin came from the side and complained aggrievedly, "Brother! You hit me so hard! It hurts me to death!"
"..."
Shen Yunzhi blinked, and then blinked again. Tears were still hanging on his eyelashes, but his slow mind finally started to work again.
Only then did she realize that Xiao Yao was not dangerous at all.
It's all Chen Lin talking nonsense.
Realizing this, a kind of shame of being teased and indescribable embarrassment instantly swept over Shen Yunzhi.
The expression on her face was blank for a moment, then quickly turned red.
Chen Lin rubbed his head, still trying to make up for his prank. "I just want to tease Sister Yun Zi, I have no other intention..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Yunzhi, who had been crying pitifully just now, suddenly jumped up and punched him twice as if he was annoyed.
Chen Lin let out a painful "Ouch!"
Shen Yunzhi was hit so hard that Chen Lin staggered.
Damn...
Chen Lin was beaten to tears by Shen Yunzhi.
These two are really fighting!
Chen Lin had stars in his eyes. When he looked up again after feeling dizzy, he only saw Shen Yunzhi giving him a fierce look, then turned around angrily, and walked away quickly without looking back.
The cool winter breeze swept through the abandoned factory area, carrying dust and coolness.
