The two cars, one after the other, quickly drove out of the city.
Once they exited the tollbooth, the two vehicles were abandoned.
They switched to a white SUV, exited the main road, and continued driving along a dirt road.
Half an hour later, we switched cars again.
This time it was a taxi.
The driver was still that middle-aged Straight Moustache.
The Straight Moustache carried the two of them, making a long detour, and finally returned to the city.
Finally, he drove the two of them into an ordinary residential area.
The car was parked in the underground parking lot of the residential complex.
The middle-aged man led Ling Yi and the other person around the underground parking lot for a long time.
The middle-aged man wasn't wandering aimlessly; he was avoiding the cameras.
Clearly, this person was very familiar with the area and was an experienced worker in this kind of job.
They eventually arrived at an ordinary residential house.
There were three other people in the room.
A bald, muscular man with tattooed arms and a fierce-looking face.
The other two were a young man and a young woman.
The man was wearing white casual clothes and thick glasses.
He was typing away at the keyboard of a Computer.
The woman, on the other hand, was fiddling with electronic devices.
Several bundles of explosives were lying at his feet.
Ling Yi's lips twitched slightly. "Are we really going to go this far?"
At this moment, the middle-aged man with the Straight Moustache pushed Ling Yi and the other man directly into a bedroom.
Then the plastic lock was removed.
They tied Ling Yi and Xia Wanqing's hands and feet.
Then he turned and left the room.
Then lock the door from the outside.
He didn't say a word during that time.
The two were now reclining on the bed, their eyes meeting once again.
"It seems your Xia Family is in quite a bit of trouble," Ling Yi said helplessly.
Xia Wanqing said worriedly, "I heard from my dad that they're currently bidding on a piece of land."
"If I win the bid for this land, my family's market value will increase at least tenfold."
The Xia Family is already the richest family in Dafeng City.
Dafeng City is a first-tier city.
The Xia Family's wealth is unimaginable, given that they are the richest family in the country.
If it were increased tenfold, that would be an enormous number.
Clearly, this is driven by self-interest.
Someone took the risk.
"Do you have any way to get me out of here?" Xia Wanqing asked anxiously.
"These people are definitely trying to use me to threaten my dad; we can't let them succeed."
Ling Yi asked, "When does the bidding process begin?"
Tomorrow afternoon.
"No rush!" Ling Yi shrugged.
He changed his position and jumped directly onto the bed.
" Shen Hui!" Jiang Wanqing frowned.
How can I not be anxious?
Her parents must be extremely worried right now.
Ling Yi had never been kidnapped before, and found it quite interesting.
Moreover, he has the means to escape from any so-called dangerous situation at any time.
There's no rush.
"Calm down. You're my target, so of course I won't let anything happen to you."
"Don't you want to help your dad find and eliminate the mastermind behind this?"
Xia Wanqing's eyes lit up. "You have a way?"
"That's true, but it's not free."
"Don't worry, as long as you can help my dad take down the mastermind, you'll be rewarded handsomely!"
Ling Yi nodded. "The mastermind behind this must still be hiding in the shadows."
"If we leave now, the person behind this will surely go into hiding and Destruction all relevant evidence."
Xia Wanqing nodded. Since Ling Yi said he had a way, then he must have a way.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Xia Wanqing's Affection has increased by 100 points. Current Affection is -898 points!]
At that moment, the slightly excited voice of the Light Ball simultaneously rang in Ling Yi's and Xia Wanqing's minds.
Their eyes met again.
Xia Wanqing blushed immediately, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Damn that Light Ball! It increases Affection, why do I have to give a notification?
Shen Hui hasn't even done his task yet!
Seeing the Changes in Xia Wanqing's expression, Ling Yi asked, "You can hear the system's voice?"
At this point, Xia Wanqing felt there was nothing left to hide.
He nodded and said, "Yes, I can hear the conversation between the system and the player."
"No wonder you were able to lock onto the attacker and prevent them from completing the mission," Ling Yi suddenly realized.
He should have guessed it long ago.
"Wait a minute, let me beat up that Light Ball first."
Xia Wanqing blinked. Why did she suddenly want to beat up the Light Ball?
Is the Light Ball Shen Hui's system?
Immediately afterwards, a scream echoed in Xia Wanqing's mind.
[ Big Shot, why did you hit me?]
[Ouch, it hurts so much! Help! Someone please save me!]
[No, at least give me a reason, Big Shot! I need to know where I went wrong, right?]
[Waaaaah, oh dear!]
This beating lasted a full half hour.
Xia Wanqing was speechless for a moment.
This strategy planner is really short-tempered!
Even a tiny bit of sympathy arose in my heart for the Light Ball.
However, Xia Wanqing was also very curious about why Ling Yi had given her that beating.
However, Xia Wanqing soon found out the reason.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have increased the target's Affection by 100 points and received Lottery.]
Then came the extremely humble voice of the Light Ball.
[ Big Shot, are you satisfied?]
"Be more proactive next time!" Ling Yi said coldly.
[Okay, Big Shot, I promise I'll take the Big Shot, you can rest Big Shot!]
"Puff!"
Xia Wanqing couldn't help but laugh out loud.
It was the Light Ball's obsequious and humble voice that really tickled its funny bone.
In the past, all the players in the strategy guide system were aloof and unapproachable.
Every day, tasks are assigned to players who want to complete the strategy; those who fail to complete the tasks are eliminated.
Then look at Ling Yi, wow, he directly robbed the system.
He's definitely Big Shot.
Xia Wanqing blinked. Perhaps, this Shen Hui could help her completely shed the identity of being a target of her affections.
"Enough talk, Lottery! 100 consecutive draws, all in!"
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received the following rewards: 10 God of Gamblers Card, 10 Immunity to All Poisons Card, 10 Advancement Card, 10 Resurrection Card, and 60 Teleport Card!]
[ God of Gamblers Card: Grants the God of Gamblers skill upon use.]
[ Immunity to All Poisons Card: Grants the user immunity to Immunity to All Poisons upon use.]
[ Advancement Card: Can be used on any item, instantly upgrading it by one tier.]
[ Resurrection Card: Allows Resurrection within 24 hours. Upon Resurrection, the target will be restored to their optimal condition.]
[ Teleport Card: After use, it can Teleport to any memorized coordinate within a radius of 100 li.]
Listen to the sound of the Light Ball.
Ling Yi nodded in satisfaction.
Xia Wanqing, on the other hand, had eyes shining with envy.
"Um, can other people use these cards?" Xia Wanqing asked cautiously.
Yes, it can be used.
Are there any rules regarding the use of rewards given by the system?
"Yes, but on one condition," Ling Yi said.
"What?"
"Your Affection is now reduced back."
Xia Wanqing blinked; had her Affection dropped back down?
But then, she understood what Ling Yi meant.
This means you have to keep trying to get the system rewards!
"I... I'll try."
Ten minutes later, Ling Yi looked at Xia Wanqing, whose face was flushed, and said helplessly, "Let it go!"
Xia Wanqing's Affection not only didn't decrease, but actually increased by 10 points.
Xia Wanqing was also helpless; this wasn't something she could lower at will.
"How about I slap you a few more times?" Ling Yi suddenly said.
Xia Wanqing was startled. "No, what if my memory is reset and my Affection immediately becomes positive? You'll lose even more."
"Hmm, that makes sense. Let's leave it at that for now and think of another plan later!"
For some inexplicable reason, Xia Wanqing had a bad feeling!
