Ji Xincheng woke up in severe pain.

As far as the eye can see, there is a dilapidation, probably an abandoned factory, and there are new timbers scattered around.

As for where it hurt, she couldn't tell it at first, but gradually realized that the pain was mainly in her head, followed by her bloodied hands and wrists that were tied to iron posts with ropes.

Ji Xincheng's iron pillar was tied to the window, and the dim light shone in from the window, reflecting her forced figure on the ground full of sawdust.

It's embarrassing.

She wanted to turn her head to look out the window, but found that her body didn't look like her own, and she didn't have any strength.

I can only keep my eyes open and listen to the movements left and right.

“…… Take the money, and you can let her go, right? ”

"What's the hurry? Let's talk about the money when it comes to it! ”

"Dad, you promised me ......"

"Shut up! Annoying? Go get some food for Lao Tzu and come back! ”

“……”

Outside the window, the conversation between the father and daughter brought back all the memories that Ji Xincheng had lost for a short time.

It turned out that they had planned it and set a trap for her to jump......

Ji Xincheng closed his eyes in annoyance, blaming himself for not being cautious enough.

Thinking about that Lin Lin, what a good foundation, as long as she is willing to work hard, she may not be worse than herself in the future, why is her father unwilling to train her well, and he has to involve her in such a dark situation?

The sum of money that Ji Xincheng promised to Mr. Lin was enough for him to pay for Linlin's tuition and basic living expenses for four years.

But in the current situation, Ji Xincheng knows that he wants far more than that.

After clearing his throat, Ji Xincheng said behind him:

"Mr. Lin?"

The man quickly walked over.

He had been sitting near the window and watching, and he came to the window in three or two steps.

Without the sound of Lin Lin, I thought that I had already gone far.

"Why are you tying me up?"

"Isn't that clear? Mrs. Gu, you don't just think we're joking with you until now, do you? ”

Through the window, even if Ji Xincheng didn't look at the man's face, he could imagine his hideous mockery.

There was no fear in her heart, more confusion and doubts.

"Why me?"

At Si Gan's wedding banquet, all the stars gathered, why was it her.

"You can only blame yourself! The dog takes the mouse, which is a good thing for me! ”

Bad for him?

Ji Xincheng didn't think that what the man said was about him educating his daughter.

"I ...... When? ”

The man saw that she had no room for resistance, his face was full of smugness, and he said in a rough voice:

"I promised others to stink a woman's reputation, and the money will be in hand after the deed is completed, but you, a woman, have stuck a rod in it and let me do it completely in vain! Because of that incident, I owe a butt of loan sharks, and the interest is now beyond my control, and the other party threatens to chop off my hand if he can't give the money within three days! I'm also forced to be impatient, if it weren't for your nosy, we wouldn't be like this, wouldn't we? ”

His tone was very laid-back, as if he was telling someone else's story.

But Ji Xincheng clearly smelled a hint of confidence from it, and he was very sure that from Ji Xincheng, he could get what he wanted and solve all the problems for him.

"Is the woman you're talking about a producer?"

"I don't know, it's all from your entertainment industry anyway!"

Regarding this matter, the only thing Ji Xincheng could think of was Tang Tang.

Thinking of the people behind the Tang Tang incident at that time, Ji Xincheng was silent for a moment.

"It's like you're innocent, and if you're really just asking for money, why don't you kidnap someone who doesn't pay you commission? You just bully the soft and fear the hard, you only dare to take advantage of women, people like you deserve to be hacked and eaten by black! ”

"What do you say? Black eats black? ”

The man seemed to think it was funny, and the tail note rose in the middle of the cold snort, as if he was disdainful.

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not! Xiao Han is just doing things for people, he doesn't take any money at all! I hate you coming out halfway, otherwise this thing would have been possible! ”

"Xiao Han?" Ji Xincheng tried his best to turn his head and look at the man: "Are you talking about Han Fei?" ”

Obviously, Ji Xincheng would know about Han Fei, the man was stunned, and immediately turned his head.

He realized that he had slipped his mouth, and responded to Ji Xincheng with silence.

"Since you know that there is someone behind Han Fei, why don't you just go to that person? Don't you dare, or are you being used at all, and you don't even know who the other party is? ”

No matter how irritated Ji Xincheng is, the man no longer squeaks.

Ji Xincheng had the heart to follow his words and confirmed that the person behind Han Fei was Si Qian.

But the man's tight-lipped mouth made her helpless for a while.

In the silence, Ji Xincheng turned to ask, "You guys have already thought about tying me up, right?" So deliberately waiting for me to pass by, I played a play in the hallway. ”

"Yes, without bait, how can you hang a big fish?"

"So, you made plans months ago? That's why I let Lin Lin be my stand-in? ”

If that's really the case, then it's not a simple kidnapping incident, Ji Xincheng said in his heart.

"That's not true, it's a pure coincidence!"

The man smiled and sighed: "God has eyes, isn't it destined?" How did I know that she still knew you, God wanted to help us, and what I didn't expect was that you would be fooled so easily, which was beyond my expectations! ”

“……”

Ji Xincheng was silent for a moment, and then said:

"Who came up with this idea? If I had left you alone and walked away, would you have another plan? ”

"Humph! You won't walk away, that girl doesn't know anything about you, and when you see anyone being bullied, you'll probably step forward to help? Look, what's going on? So it's basically your nosy problem! ”

After the man finished speaking, he laughed twice.

His laughter overshadowed the faint sound of insects outside, leaving Ji Xincheng speechless for a while.

She thought of the reminder of assistant Xiao Song after helping Lin Lin on the set before: Sister, you are not afraid that people will rely on you?

At that time, he only said that it was a joke, but now that he thinks about it, Xiao Song is not the kind of person who will arrange people at will, it is probably really his own problem, Ji Xincheng couldn't help but fall into boredom.

"Here, there are not many stores next to it, so you can only buy these!"

The young girl's voice sounded, it was Lin Lin back.

Ji Xincheng heard the sound and saw that Lin Lin also saw through the window that she had woken up.

Hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at Ji Xincheng's eyes.

Her heart was empty at a glance, and she was about to leave after putting down the food, but was stopped by her father: "Look, I have something to go out!" ”

No matter how reluctant Lin Lin was, he had to stay.

Through a broken window, Ji Xincheng was tied to the ground and sat on the ground, while Lin Lin leaned against the broken wall outside the window, and the two were speechless for a long time.

"Why lie to me?"

Ji Xincheng's voice was low, sounding in the dark night, but it was very weighty, "Since this is the case, it is better not to make up those nice lies from the beginning." ”

Lin Lin didn't squeak, like his father didn't want to be tricked.

"You are in good condition, I said when I was on the set, if you study hard, the future may be limitless, why give up on yourself? Did your father force you? ”

Ji Xincheng wanted to hear Lin Lin's answer, but the other party didn't want to give it to her.

Lin Lin pursed her lips, but handed her a simple package of bread from the window, and the bag of bread was still wrapped in a thick layer of oil, which glowed with a strange luster in the dim light.

Ji Xincheng stared at the bread blankly and didn't reach out to take it.

Lin Lin handed over other food, but she just shook her head:

"I don't want to eat it."

She hadn't eaten at all at the wedding banquet, she was already hungry at this time, but where was she in the mood to take care of her stomach right now?

"Lin Lin, you can consider letting me go now, the two of us leave here together, and I will definitely help you."

Ji Xincheng decided that Lin Lin was innocent and wanted to persuade her.

But the other party remained indifferent.

"You know Gu Shaoze, he has the ability to let you live a normal life without being threatened by your father, I can assure you of that."

“……”

"Is there anything else you are coerced by your father's debts besides his debts? You can tell me. ”

Ji Xincheng looked into Lin Lin's eyes, although she was half-down, the coolness in her eyes still made Ji Xincheng feel lost.

Are they not just asking for money?

When this thought popped up, Ji Xincheng felt a trace of fear from the bottom of his heart.

But she still restrained herself well, and Lin Lin's tone was still patient and sincere, "No matter what, you think about my suggestion, and I will do what I say." ”

"Don't talk about it, I won't think about it."

Lin Lin saw that Ji Xincheng didn't eat, put the food on the windowsill full of cement slag, and turned around to leave.

Ji Xincheng wanted to say a few more words, and said busily: "You wait!" ”

Lin Lin stopped.

"It's okay if you don't want to think about it, I can't run anyway, so you just pretend you didn't hear anything."

Ji Xincheng said: "It's dark here, I'm a little scared, can you just sit here and accompany me without going away?" ”

Lin Lin's figure froze, but in the end he retreated and continued to lean half-against the remnant wall by the window.

After a while, Ji Xincheng asked again, "Have you contacted anyone?" ”

"Who?"

"Gu Shaoze, didn't you kidnap me here to take me and ask him for ransom?"

"Got in touch."

"Did he promise you to pay the ransom?"

“……”

"How much do you want from him?"

“…… He'll hand it over. ”

After Lin Lin finished saying this, he turned his head and glanced at Ji Xincheng meaningfully.

At that glance, it was not her usual weakness and helplessness at all, but calm and cold, as if she understood very well that Ji Xincheng was just deliberately showing weakness in order to get more information she wanted to know.

This contrast caught Ji Xincheng off guard, and he watched Lin Lin walk away in a daze.

Lin Lin bypassed the remnant wall, and his figure appeared on the side of the door not far away, leaning on the inside of the threshold, Lin Lin hugged his knees and closed his eyes, no longer paying attention to Ji Xincheng's meaning.

Ji Xincheng quietly looked at the darkness for a long time, endured the cold dew that became heavier after the middle of the night, closed his eyes and tried to let himself sleep.

She still has the second half of the night, and the father and daughter always have to rest in the second half of the night......

Ji Xincheng, who woke up after not knowing how long she had been asleep, was clearer, her limbs were paralyzed, she couldn't take care of much, and in her vision, Lin Lin was still sitting by the door.

The dim light overhead shrouded her figure out of silhouette.

Ji Xincheng looked at it silently for a while, the other party obviously didn't take it lightly, as if he had a sense, and turned his head to look at Ji Xincheng.

"Can you get me something to eat?"

Ji Xincheng spoke, his voice dry and obscure.

Lin Lin hesitated for a moment, but finally got up and walked to Ji Xincheng's side.

Picking up the small bread that had been placed on the windowsill first, Lin Lin opened it and listened to Ji Xincheng say:

"I'll just drink that milk."

Lin Lin glanced at her coolly, stuffed the opened bread into his mouth, took a packet of milk from the side, inserted a straw and handed it to Ji Xincheng.

"Thank you!"

Ji Xincheng bent her numb knees and tried to clamp the milk to her knees, but she underestimated the time she had been tied, and her legs were no longer the same as hers, and she couldn't move for half a minute.

"Just drink it!"

Lin Lin stretched out his hand, simply sat on an old wooden box next to Ji Xincheng, and gave her milk to drink.

Ji Xincheng didn't hesitate much, just took Lin Lin's hand and drank the bag of milk quickly.

"Can you let me talk to my family on the phone?"

“……”

Regarding Ji Xincheng's request, Lin Lin looked at it coldly.

Ji Xincheng vaguely realized that it was true that people should not look good, a girl who was so weak in the past, under her resolute and cold expression at this time, was a completely unfamiliar and unimaginable other side of Ji Xincheng.

"If my family knew that I was safe, they might be ready to pay the ransom sooner."

"There's no need for that."
