She chuckled, "Is this an order or a threat?"

"It's a negotiation. ”

"Discuss?" she almost laughed out loud, "If you wanted to consult with me, you wouldn't have had people violently threaten Dean Frank beforehand, he's old, is it interesting for you to threaten an old man like that?"

"I didn't let them do that. ”

"Is it, without your orders or instructions, they would dare to openly threaten the director of a welfare institution?"

The man didn't react to her backlash, leaned over and put the coffee cup on the coffee table, raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, "I really didn't let them do that, maybe sometimes I pay too much attention to the results and ignore the process of their work, I will notify them about this matter and let them improve." ”

It sounded like his tone was particularly reasonable, but Shi Chuxi thought of what Rong Xixi revealed to her in the hospital today, after he killed Phil, his purpose gradually became apparent, and his subordinates gradually devoured Phil's territory.

Not only does he want to control the economic lifeline of the entire F country, but he is also determined to win the business and territory in the underworld.

This man's ambitions are terrifying.

Shi Chuxi listened to his so-called high-sounding reason, held back further refutation, and forced himself to calm down, "What if I don't agree?"

He put one hand on the arm of the sofa, "I said, this is a discussion, you can disagree." "But I can trade something else for you." ”

She asked, "What?"

"You'll be interested. He looked at her quietly, and his thin lips lightly overflowed with two words: "Freedom." ”

Shi Chuxi was really stunned: "You mean really, you want to give me freedom?"

"Baby, it's never too late for you to get excited when you hear what I'm going to say clearly. He said with a smile on his face. His lips tightened into stiff lines, and he paused for a few seconds before he said, "The freedom I am talking about is to let you go back to China, don't you want to tell me that you want to go back?" ”

He agreed to let her go back to China?

Shi Chuxi's body and mind were filled with this sudden great joy, and he didn't dare to show too much emotion on his face, afraid that he would regret it, so he quietly pinched his fingers to calm himself down, "How can I believe you?"

His slightly narrowed eyes were shining, "It's been so long, you should know me." What I promised you has never changed. ”

What about the divorce agreement you signed with me that day? Why didn't you give it back to me?

She forced herself to swallow the rebuttal to him, and became: "Okay, I can trust you, that castle is haunted, and it is useless for me to ask for it, and it is a good deal to exchange it for freedom." ”

The man curled the corners of his thin lips and said in a low, magnetic voice, "Then take out what I want." ”

"I changed my mind. ”

"Huh?"

"In addition to you giving me freedom, you have to sell me the hospital, how much. You make an offer. ”

"There's no need to be so troublesome, I'll go directly to your name. ”

"Okay, deal. ”

Without hesitation, she unzipped the bag, took out the document bag, and put it on the coffee table in front of him.

Jin Heng crossed his fingers on his lap, and his gaze stayed on the document bag for a few seconds, "I believe that you won't use your freedom to play tricks, when do you want to leave, I will ask someone to book a ticket for you." ”

"Tomorrow. ”

He narrowed his narrow eyes: "You're in such a hurry?"

Her slender fingers stroked her casual and fashionable short hair, "Of course I'm in a hurry, I said that you have made too many enemies in country F, and I don't want to be the target of your enemies." ”

"You are safe in country F, and no one dares to do anything to you. The man's face was gloomy, and the cold light and murderous aura coexisted in his eyes, "Unless that person doesn't want to live anymore." ”

"And what do you say about my eldest brother's ward? Isn't it because you killed Phil and blamed Lance for provoking a fight between the two sides?" she sneered.

Jin Heng said lightly: "It was an accident, I will make amends." ”

His amendage must be a painless existence, so don't do it.

"Then you have someone type out the hospital contract right away, and I'm going to sign it now. She decided to make a quick decision, who knows if this uncertain man will suddenly change his mind again in the next moment.

He glanced at her, picked up his phone and dialed a number, and Peter quickly delivered the contract, so fast that it was suspicious that they had been prepared.

Shi Chuxi didn't care about this, she was in a hurry to sign, and after repeatedly confirming that there was no problem with all the terms, she signed the big name.

"You also have to sign the title deed of the castle. The man silently handed over the contract for the castle.

Shi Chuxi signed and pushed the contract to him.

He bowed his head and signed.

Shi Chuxi stood up with his bag, "Can I go?"

The man's magnetic voice was low, "There is a banquet tomorrow night, you accompany me to it." ”

She pursed her lips and walked towards the door.

"Yuanyuan, are you really not going?"

"Don't go. ”

"But I don't have a female companion. ”

"Then you go find another woman to be your female companion. ”

She walked to the door, and when the doorknob in her hand was about to be closed, the man's voice came unhurriedly: "Yuanyuan, you are about to go back to China, it is not certain when you will come back, during the time you are away, if you don't show up for a long time, both reporters and the public will be curious, and even rumors will spread, which will have an impact on our marriage and the Onassis Group, so you have to show up tomorrow night, you know?"

She turned around and stared at him for a while: "Jin Heng, do you really think that we can continue to live in peace?"

"Whether you want to or not, you always have to live with me for a lifetime, laughing for a lifetime, crying for a lifetime, you can choose for yourself. ”

She didn't talk to him any more, and opened the door and went out.

He didn't catch up either, she guessed that his leg was not good, and that keeping up was of little use other than to make the leg that had improved better.

……

An hour later, Shi Chuxi made an appointment with Rong Xixi to come out for lunch.

In the box, she took the transfer contract of the hospital to Rong Xixi, and Rong Xixi happily looked through it several times in a row: "Yes, Jin Heng was really unexpected to transfer the hospital to your name, I thought that he would use Fang Yan to threaten you in this life." ”

"I didn't expect that either. Shi Chuxi lowered his head and flipped through the menu to order: "But I exchanged it with him with the castle." ”

"What castle is so valuable?"

"It's a castle called Herschel, have you heard of it?"

Rong Xixi shook his head, "It's a little familiar, let me think about it." ”

After a few sips of tea, Rong Xixi remembered: "Once I seemed to have heard Fu Ling mention that it was he and Jin Heng who had privately talked about this castle called Herschel, I listened to their tone, Jin Heng has always wanted to get it, maybe this castle is very valuable." ”

"Quite the opposite. Shi Chuxi held his cheek with one hand, "It is worthless, it is a ruined castle, and it is said to be haunted." ”

"Uh, haunted?"

"Hmm. ”

Rong Xixi was incredulous, "Jin Heng is so shrewd, how could he do everything possible to get a haunted abandoned castle?"

"That's what I want to ask. ”

Both of them ate a little.

Rong Xixi has to go back to work in the hospital in the afternoon. Shi Chuxi didn't have anything to do, so he simply accompanied her to eat while walking.

Passing by a narrow alley, Shi Chuxi was suddenly held up by a hard object behind his waist, "Don't move." ”

Shi Chuxi didn't dare to move for a moment, and Rong Xixi was also pointed at a gun by a masked man.

The two women were pushed deeper into the alley.

Shi Chuxi suffocated for a moment, tried his best to calm down, turned his head to the masked man who pointed a gun at him, and said, "What do you want? Do you want money? I will give it to you." ”

The masked man had sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, wrapped very tightly, and still pointed a gun at her, without saying a word.

In general, the most feared thing in kidnapping is that the other party does not make a sound, so it is not clear what the other party wants.

Shi Chuxi knows that time is money, and it is good to negotiate outside, but once you get indoors, the situation is not optimistic.

"How about I give you five million?"

The masked man's muzzle was pointed at her, he laughed, and said in a rough voice: "Five million, Miss Fang Yuan, you are a new rich woman in country F, I heard that you donated 10 million as soon as you made a move in the welfare home, and you are sure that you can redeem yourself for only 5 million?"

Shi Chuxi's breathing was even more uncomfortable, it seemed that the other party had done enough homework, and even knew so clearly about her donation in the welfare home.

She reluctantly adjusted her voice: "It's easy for you to do it too little, I'll give you 20 million, and you let me and my friends go." ”

The masked man stretched out a finger and shook it, meaning no.

"How much do you want? ”

The masked man ignored her and didn't seem to have much interest in the blank check she had written, just snatched her bag from her hand, took out her phone, and found a phone to dial.

The call went through quickly.

In the microphone was a man's familiar voice: "Yuanyuan, have you figured it out?

Shi Chuxi saw the masked man take out something the size of a microphone and put it in front of his mouth, it should be a seller or something, "Mr. Jin, I'm not Mrs. Ling." ”

"Who are you?" the man's voice tightened.

"You don't have to know who I am, you might as well listen to your wife's voice first. The masked man pointed a gun at Shi Chuxi, turned on the phone and handed it to her.

She suppressed the surging emotions and opened her mouth: "Jin Heng." ”

The phone was taken away, and the masked man said, "Mr. Jin." Your wife is in my hands, what do you say?"

"How much do you want, and how do you pay the ransom?"

The masked man glanced at Shi Chuxi, and then at Rong Xixi next to him, "In order to show sincerity, I can first release Mr. Jin's good brother's woman first, and take a billion to come, and the transaction place is at Herschel Castle, at seven o'clock in the evening." ”

"A billion can be given to you, and you are not allowed to touch a single hair of her. ”

"Yes. "Masked man plays with taste. "But if Mr. Jin calls the police or sends someone to Herschel Castle in advance......"

"No, it won't. The other end calmly interrupted, "At seven o'clock in the evening, one billion, I hope you keep your promise." ”

The masked man looked very satisfied, hung up the phone, his eyes under the mask were extremely gloomy, and he said with a smile: "Miss Fang, you are so rich at a young age, and you have such a good husband." What a winner in life. I just don't know if your husband will have one thing on the surface and one thing behind his back, if he deliberately provokes me to tear you up, then everything in your name will belong to him. Do you think he will use this trick to kill people with a knife?"

Shi Chuxi's heart was cold, and his tone was as relaxed as possible: "Listening to your tone, it seems that I really hope that he won't come, and then you tear me up, you don't look like a qualified kidnapper." Isn't that what you want is money? Why don't I give it to you? ”

The masked man laughed, waved his hand, and more than a dozen people came out of nowhere, cutting her and Rong Xixi's hands behind their backs. Rong Xixi was taken into the alley, it seems that the kidnappers are talking about this, and they want to let Rong Xixi go first.

Rong Xixi hurriedly glanced back at her, his eyes full of helplessness.

……

Shi Chuxi was taken into a car.

The car gradually went from flat to bumpy, and she looked out the window at the scenery, somewhat familiar, the road to Herschel Castle.

I didn't expect Herschel Castle again.

The kidnappers seemed to be unaware of the haunted legends of Herschel Castle, or did they have other plans?

Next to Shi Chuxi sat the masked man who had been on the phone earlier. Apparently he was the leader of the gang.

She turned her head to look at him, wearing a black hat that fit the shape of her head, her face was covered with only a pair of eyes, but she was still wearing sunglasses, and she couldn't see any of his facial features at all.

She heard herself suddenly ask, "Why did you choose to trade at Herschel Castle?"

Jin Heng had just gotten Herschel Castle from her, and within a few hours, someone kidnapped her and had to make a deal in Herschel Castle, which had to be suspicious.

The kidnappers were obviously Jin Heng's enemies.

She was about to go back to China, but she didn't expect such a kidnapping case to come before leaving.

I was really hurt by that man.

Three or four o'clock in the afternoon. The car drove into the dense forest, there was no road ahead, and the kidnappers pressed her out of the car.

After walking for a long time, a ruined castle appeared in front of them, overgrown with weeds, and many birds were frightened away as they approached, and flew into the sky.

The leader of the kidnappers pulled out a yellowed map from his backpack and quickly led the men to the castle gate in the grass.

There are so many weeds under his feet that Shi Chuxi is afraid of stepping on snakes or something. When she walked, she was scared, probably because her hands were tied behind her back, and the kidnappers didn't urge her to go quickly.

When Shi Chuxi entered the door, she saw a wooden sign in the grass next to her, which seemed to have words on it, and she was about to take a closer look, when the kidnappers behind her urged her: "What are you rubbing, go quickly!"

Judging by the kidnappers' panicked and frightened looks, it seems that these people also knew the legend of Herschel Castle.

The gate is not locked. The leader of the kidnappers and another kidnapper were pushed open without much force, and there were also a lot of weeds inside the door, but there were no more animals or the bones of suspected people.

This was more or less a relief to everyone.

This was more or less a relief to everyone.

After walking for nearly fifty meters, a clean ground suddenly appeared in front of me.

Yes, that's right, not a single weed, even the street lamps on the side of the road are on, as if it were an inhabited place, and it was like two worlds from what they stood underfoot.

The kidnappers immediately panicked again. This is also too evil, it seems that no one has lived in a century on the outside, but it is a different world inside.

"Don't panic, go in and have a look. The kidnapper calmed his men and crossed the line alone.

Shi Chuxi was escorted inside, and a door appeared in front of him, which seemed to be entering the castle.

The leader of the kidnappers did not hesitate to open the door, and everyone was stunned with wide eyes.

The lights inside are on, and although all the decorations are very old, they are all clean and tidy, revealing the breath of life.

This is too evil!

A lot of kidnappers are salivaing.

Shi Chuxi was masked, led into a room, and pushed her to the carpet, the door was closed, and the footsteps followed.

She struggled to sit up, fumbled for the back of a chair, and rubbed the strip of cloth off her eyes with the back of the chair.

See the room in front of you. She couldn't believe her eyes, and if she hadn't known that this was a castle, she would have almost mistakenly thought that this was a villa.

That's right, all the furnishings in this room are exactly the same as the villa that Jin Heng recently arranged for her, really exactly the same, and even the details are copied one to one.

How so?

She had thought that his second villa was retro-style, and since she only thought it was another cage, she didn't care much about it.

The room in front of her was exactly the same as the bedroom she was in. There seems to be a message that this may be the place where he once stayed.

How so?

This castle was given to Fang Ning by Hu Ying, Hu Ying seems to have gotten it from her father, so who did her father get it from?

The rich merchant who built this castle and then died mysteriously?

What is the name of the rich businessman?

The rich merchant died, and how did the father get his hands on this castle?

What does it have to do with Jin Heng?

Also, his previous identity was Bo Yunshen, and then the Bo family changed dramatically, and he disappeared for a while, and it was during that time that he changed his name and surname. Became Jin Heng?

Dean Frank said that after the death of the rich merchant, no one dared to approach the castle, which meant that there should no longer be an owner here.

However, the facilities here are complete, but the outside is deliberately disguised as a deserted castle, obviously not wanting outsiders to know.

Is it his handiwork?

What is he missing?

Missing your time here?

Even if the Bo family underwent great changes at the beginning, it would be impossible for him to run from distant China to a deserted place like country F.

It doesn't make sense.

There is only one possibility of analysis, he was here before the accident with the Bo family.

Is he alone?

Is there anyone else?

Shi Chuxi's heart seemed to be pouring out countless thoughts, and he inadvertently thought of one, could this matter be related to his mother?

He mentions his mother very rarely, only once.

"My mother left when I was very young. She betrayed my father and ran away with another man. My father had been waiting for her for more than twenty years, and when he found her, she suddenly died of an illness. ”

"So, you mind fidelity in marriage so much that you hate betrayal?"

"Hmm...... I'll admit I lost control last night, I'm sorry. ”

At that time, she didn't take it to heart, but now that she thinks about it, he shouldn't have lied, he was revealing his true feelings at that time.

Is it possible that he and his mother once lived here?

That's why he's so nostalgic for this place?

Shi Chuxi began to look for a sharp place to cut the rope on his hand, but he didn't find it after looking around, so he simply stopped looking for it first, and began to look everywhere for clues that could prove his guess.

Since he wants to preserve it as it is, he will definitely preserve the traces of his life here.

There were not many furnishings in this bedroom, the cloakroom was separated from the bedroom, and there was no clothing to prove it, and finally an oil painting on the wall caught her eye.

This is an abstract painting, and the most striking thing is that oil paintings are generally not signed, but this one does.

The bottom sign is: Bo Yunshen.

Three words in pure Chinese.

Like an arrow straight into the heart.

She stood in front of this oil painting for a long time, and then saw the end from the abstract painting, this abstract painting has messy lines, giving people the first feeling is depression, and then looking closely, it seems to have fallen into this messy line vortex, and her mind seems to be pressed and out of breath.

It can be seen that when this painting was made. His mood was going through a kind of torment, or rather metamorphosis.

The font is neat, and it is conceivable that the person who wrote this name may be a teenager, revealing a feeling of warmth and jade.

Unlike his signature now, the pen is sharp and domineering everywhere, and sometimes it seems to be through the back of the paper.

Judging from these, the gentle gentleman Bo Yunshen really existed, but I don't know what great changes happened later that made his temperament change greatly, and he became the current Jin Heng.

Is it because of his mother?

He said that his mother betrayed the marriage. Did you do something unforgivable?

At this time, a bold guess crossed her mind, could it be that this matter had something to do with her father?

So he hated her father and hated the people of the Onassis?

That's why he's going to destroy all the people of House Onassis at all costs?

Shi Chuxi broke out in a cold sweat behind her back, not because she might have discovered the truth, but because she suddenly felt that the world was turned upside down.

No.

It can't be so.

Her father is in country F, and his mother is in China, thousands of miles apart, how could they meet?

Even if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance to meet it, it doesn't mean that her father has done something to his mother, she has never seen her father, but she knows him from all aspects, he is a power-hungry person, how can he do deviant things for a married woman.

Unless the married woman can bring him a very considerable benefit, like her mother is a good example.

Born in a famous family, her father would marry her mother.

However, what could his mother have?

It seems that there is no illustrious origin, how can it be possible to attract her father's attention?

Good looks?

Her father was a sane man who would not be carried away by a mere beautiful woman.

I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't come up with a reason, and it was getting dark outside.

The whole room was also immersed in dim light.

She was inexplicably nervous, her palms were sweating, and she was even more nervous than being kidnapped by the kidnappers.

She was inexplicably nervous, her palms were sweating, and she was even more nervous than being kidnapped by the kidnappers.
