verpraise me, little sister." Mu Shaocheng smiled modestly, gentle and polite, as if the two hadn't interacted much.His gaze swept over the two people huddled together, their black evening gowns and s...The bodyguards automatically parted, and a tall man in a black tailored suit strode over, stopping two meters from Lin Jinyan.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Lin Jinyu's pupils trembled violently. Night Owl, he had found her after all!

However, at this moment she wasn't thinking about those things. The elderly woman had been kidnapped, and if it was any other time she could have easily broken free to help the old woman.

The effects of the drug were still not completely gone from her body, leaving her weak and unable to struggle. She could only let the old man hold her captive.

"You, you stay away!" The old woman pressed a knife against Lin Jinran's pale neck, gasping as she shouted, "Let my son go, or even if I die, I will drag her down with me!"

Lin Jinran only noticed at this moment that there were two bodyguards beside Ye Xiao, who were desperately stuffing a man with cotton in his mouth.

A man with a dirty face, tilted his head sideways and squinted. He was wearing a dirty suit and struggling hard.

Lin Jinran felt the man's gaze on her. She instinctively turned her head to look back, and their eyes met.

She caught a glimpse of deep worry in the man's eyes, her heart skipped a beat, and she averted her gaze as if avoiding something.

The Night Owl confirmed that Lin Jinyan was temporarily unharmed, and his anger subsided somewhat.

His cold eyes stared straight at the old woman, "Let her go, and I'll let your son go!"

"Do you think I'm an old fool" The old woman scoffed, her face devoid of any kindness, only coldness. "Wait until I let her go, and you'll see your bodyguards arrest both me and my son."

As she spoke, she deliberately pressed the fruit knife against Lin Jinran's neck again.

The fruit knife wasn't sharp, but it was still a blade, almost sinking into Lin Jinran's skin. Lin Jinran's scalp tingled, feeling a chill on his neck.

"Don't move!" Ye Xiao's black eyes were filled with anger as he roared, afraid the old woman would take them all down with her. "What do you want, to let her go"

"Let my son go first, and I want five million, five million, a car. I leave here, and of course I'll let her go."

The old woman knew she had to leave here, or this man would catch her. It didn't matter if he caught her, but what about her son

She didn't care about anything else, only making plans for her son's future.

"Alright, I agree." Ye Xiao readily agreed without any hesitation, turning his head to the person beside him and ordering, "Prepare according to her request."

"Yes." The bodyguard took the order and immediately left to prepare what was needed.

Lin Jinran, being held hostage by the old woman, was deeply shaken, his heart filled with a complex mix of emotions.

He didn't hesitate at all to agree, five million isn't a small sum, is he really serious about her

For a moment, there was silence. Then another voice rang out from behind her, "Mom, what are you doing"

The old woman turned her head in astonishment and saw her crippled son, struggling with his cane, walking towards her.

The old woman panicked and cried out, "Don't come here, go back, go back!"

No sooner had the second person finished speaking than a dark shadow flashed before her eyes. The old woman turned her head back, and the night owl almost pounced on her face.

The old woman was shocked and didn't expect Ye Xiao to be so quick. She raised her knife and, without thinking, slashed towards Lin Jinran's neck.id. He said he'd like to see you too, but he needs you to do something for him first." The bodyguard relayed his conversation with Fu Tianze to Ye Xiao.At first, the bodyguard thought it would be diff...
