In a basement of an agricultural machinery rental company on Beizhan Road.
Gao Menglan crouched by the door, listening carefully to the sounds outside.
It turned out that her hands and feet were bound, but Gao Menglan used a soft wire on the ground to slowly Cutting the ropes binding her hands and feet.
However, simply cutting the rope is useless; escaping remains extremely difficult.
This is a basement; it doesn't even have windows, and the only exit is the front door.
But without even a second thought, there's definitely someone guarding the outside.
She's been trapped in this basement for almost four hours, and now she's completely helpless.
Having never experienced anything like this before, Gao Menglan felt the darkness of this world for the first time.
She is very scared now.
I wonder if, like in the movies, I'll end up being killed.
She just turned eighteen and got into university; she's never even been in a relationship yet!
"It would be too tragic for me to die like this." Gao Menglan heard footsteps coming from outside and retreated to a corner in despair.
She couldn't help but think of Ling Yi.
Gao Menglan is a very proud person, and very few people can catch her eye.
The only one who could truly capture Gao Menglan's heart was Ling Yi.
That kind of strategic thinking and composure in the face of adversity is far superior to those immature kids in school.
Currently, Gao Menglan has two wishes listed in the data entries above her head.
Wish 1: She longs for someone to be her hero and rescue this Xiaomei who has never been in a relationship.
Wish 2: If I survive, I want to fall in love.
Just then, a series of screams suddenly came from outside.
The screams continued incessantly, but they stopped abruptly in less than two minutes.
A moment later, the basement door opened, and a figure, backlit, appeared in the doorway.
" Ling Yi?" Gao Menglan exclaimed in disbelief.
"It's me. Are you alright? Are you...?"
"Waaaaah!"
Before Ling Yi could finish speaking, Gao Menglan pounced on him.
At that moment, Gao Menglan burst into tears, releasing all the grievances and fear in her heart.
[Ding! Helped Gao Menglan fulfill her wish, Vow Power Points +10, Charm Card x1 (worth 200 Vow Power Points ), Cash x1,000,000]
[Ding! Helped Gao Menglan fulfill her wish. Vow Power Points +10, Charm Card x1, Cash x1,000,000]
[Ding, Gao Menglan's Affection +50]

[Ding! Gao Menglan's Affection has reached 100. Affection is automatically locked.]
[Ding, Gao Menglan has automatically entered the list and can provide the host with 1 point of Vow Power Points daily.]
A series of "dings" made Ling Yi involuntarily purse his lips.
This is the second woman whose Affection reaches 100.
But how did the Affection suddenly reach 100? That was way too easy!
Because of Zhu Yueting's precedent, Ling Yi was well aware of the power of a 100% Affection.
Forced to lock Affection, never to decrease, everything revolves around Ling Yi, never to betray, forced data enslavement.
Previously, Ling Yi would have been somewhat disgusted by this action by the system.
But since Ling Yi's mindset changed, this feeling has faded a lot.
I, Ling Yi, Revive person, have already started... What's wrong?
Besides, it was forced upon me by the system, what could I do? Yes, it's all the system's fault.
Ling Yi is a classic example of someone who wants to have his cake and eat it too.
"I thought I was about to be killed!"
"Cough cough, it's not that bad!" The people Qi Yun found weren't legitimate thugs; they were just a bunch of idle people he kept to put on a show.
Kidnapping is the Limit; even killing the hostage would scare them to death.
Not to mention anything else.
To put it bluntly, these people are just a bunch of working-class people.
If Qi Yun hadn't given them so much, they wouldn't have even dared to kidnap anyone.
"Could you get down first?" Ling Yi felt a little uncomfortable being held like an octopus by Gao Menglan.
He's a man, and a man who's eaten meat; how could he stand this?
My legs are weak.
"I can't walk like this."
Hold me.
Ling Yi looked down at Gao Menglan's teary eyes; the killer gaze of a 99-point beauty was deadly.
Ling Yi lifted Gao Menglan up in his arms, changing to a princess carry.
"Go home!"
"Um!"
Stepping out of the basement, Gao Menglan saw more than a dozen people lying haphazardly in the warehouse, and immediately imagined the scene of Ling Yi slaughtering everyone just now.
"Don't worry, they're not dead, but they might have fractures or concussions, which could be a bit serious."
"You're amazing," Gao Menglan said, her eyes filled with admiration.
"Um, it's alright."
Half an hour later, Ling Yi drove Gao Menglan to her home.
Gao Sheng's family also moved to Villa No. 31 in Nanhu Residential Complex.
Originally, Gao Sheng did not live in Nanhu Residential Complex, but in a high-rise apartment near Baihai City Central Park.
However, after collaborating with Ling Yi on the Ruyi District land project, in order to get closer to Ling Yi, Gao Sheng also bought a villa in the Nanhu Residential Complex.
We're neighbors now.
Gao Sheng was overjoyed when he saw Ling Yi carrying Gao Menglan into the villa courtyard.
As expected, Ling Yi is the most reliable one!
Seeing his daughter being carried back by Ling Yi, Gao Sheng became worried again and asked, "What happened? Are you hurt?"
"No, he was probably just frightened. He'll be fine after a rest," Ling Yi said.
Then Gao Menglan was placed on the sofa.
Gao Menglan reluctantly released Ling Yi's neck, her eyes fixed solely on Ling Yi.
" Menglan, how are you? Is anything bothering you?" Gao Sheng leaned closer and asked.
"I'm hungry," Gao Menglan said.
"I'll go make you some food, just a moment, it'll be ready soon." Gao Sheng ran straight into the kitchen.
A moment later, a delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen.
Ling Yi was somewhat surprised. Gao Sheng could actually cook? And judging from his appearance, his cooking skills were quite good.
In less than forty minutes, a table full of fragrant and delicious dishes was ready.
"Brother, I'm heading back now. We can talk about it tomorrow."
Gao Sheng looked at Ling Yi gratefully and said, "Brother, thank you very much."
You're too kind.
Ling Yi turned and left, but Gao Menglan stared at his Ling Yi the Back, her gaze lingering until Ling Yi disappeared from sight.
Gao Sheng naturally noticed his daughter's gaze and immediately shook his head with a wry smile.
I didn't know what to do for a moment.
He knew that Ling Yi already had a girlfriend. Although Zhu Yueting wasn't as pretty or as outstanding as his daughter, he couldn't let his daughter become a third party, could he?
But he knows his daughter very well, so this matter might not be easy to handle!
"Daughter, aren't you hungry? Why aren't you eating?"
"Oh!" Gao Menglan finally snapped out of her daze and started eating.
While Gao Menglan was eating, Gao Sheng tentatively asked, "How did Ling Yi rescue you?"
" Ling Yi defeated more than a dozen people all by himself in just three minutes. He's like Martial Arts Expert, incredibly, incredibly powerful," Gao Menglan said.
She didn't see how Ling Yi defeated those people, but she couldn't help but imagine it herself.
Defeating more than a dozen people in just a few minutes—what else could he be but Martial Arts Expert?
"That's truly remarkable." Gao Sheng nodded, showing no doubt about Gao Menglan's words.
Of course, what Gao Menglan said was true; Ling Yi's current strength was indeed that of a master.
What truly shocked Gao Sheng was Ling Yi's abilities.
From the time he called Ling Yi to the time he rescued Gao Menglan, it took no more than twenty minutes.
In between, there's also the process of finding and rescuing people.
The key question is, how did Ling Yi find Gao Menglan? It's simply unbelievable.
" Menglan, Ling Yi has a girlfriend." Gao Sheng asked tentatively.
"I know, so what?"
"Uh!" Gao Sheng was taken aback by Gao Sheng Gao Menglan's words. Did his daughter not like Ling Yi?
"That's good, that's good!" Gao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
If Gao Menglan falls for Ling Yi, that would be troublesome.
Meanwhile, Ling Yi had already returned home.
Zhu Yueting and Shi Yun were discussing something on the sofa while holding a document.
Since they started working on the college student recruitment website, the two of them have become quite engrossed, showing a strong determination to make a name for themselves and become successful career women.
"Have you eaten?" Ling Yi asked, sitting down next to Zhu Yueting.
"It's already eight o'clock, of course I've eaten. Didn't you say you were staying at school tonight?"
"Something's happened!" Ling Yi then recounted how Gao Menglan had been kidnapped.
"Wow, a hero saves the damsel in distress! Does that mean Gao Menglan has to repay him with her body?" Zhu Yueting said with a hint of jealousy.
"Ahem, no, are you making a TV drama?"
"I'm telling you, Ling Yi, you can have other women, but you have to let me know. You can't hide it from me."
"That's impossible," Ling Yi said firmly.
As for what he couldn't do—whether it was not to find other women or not to keep it from Zhu Yueting —only Ling Yi himself knew.
Shi Yun looked at her best friend in astonishment. Good heavens, did Zhu Yueting really say that?
Could it be that he's been poisoned by Ling Yi?
You didn't even stop Ling Yi from seeing other women? All I had to do was not hide it from you?
Even novels wouldn't dare to write like this.
Just then, Ling Yi's phone beeped with a text message notification.
It was a text message sent to Ling Yi by Zero. After seeing the content of the message, Ling Yi was overjoyed.
"I'll make a call. You guys should get some rest too." With that, Ling Yi went into his room.
Putting on his earphones, Ling Yi quickly asked, " Zero, are you sure the higher-ups have approved E-Silver Plan?"
"Yes, boss, Mr. Zhou has contacted me, and it has been confirmed that E-Silver will be officially launched."
"Haha, that's great! Once E-Silver is launched, many subsequent plans can begin."
"Yes, boss."
Ling Yi had no idea that the higher-ups would act so quickly.
Ling Yi had originally thought that E-Silver Plan wouldn't be launched for at least six months or even a year, but he didn't expect it to be so much earlier than planned.
"Initiate the infiltration plan ahead of schedule to ensure E-Silver's rapid global launch. Remember, any means necessary."
"Boss, I'm afraid a lot of people will die."
"I've already said, any means are acceptable."
In the Ancient Country, E-Silver Ling Yi a relatively peaceful approach; otherwise, he wouldn't have had Zero constantly try to communicate with the higher-ups.
But there's no need for that when it comes to foreign countries; whoever obstructs E-Silver is an enemy.
