"Do I look like I'm short of money?"
He Yuzhu shouted with a disdainful look. He knew very well that no matter how rich the Lin family was, the ransom they could come up with was only a few hundred thousand.
This amount of money was nothing to him, and in the eyes of someone like He Yuzhu, it was like a drop in the ocean.
He had been wandering the world for many years and had seen all kinds of storms. To him, money was nothing more than an external thing.
Lin Wanting continued to plead:
"Please, please let me go, and I promise I'll make sure my family pays a larger ransom!"
Her voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes were full of pleading.
At this moment, she was panicked in order to get out of her predicament and only thought about using money to solve the problem.
However, He Yuzhu remained unmoved, only gently shaking his head, a slow but firm movement.
"Hmph, I don't care about your little bit of money. If you want me to calm down, you only have one option."
He Yuzhu said expressionlessly, his voice low and cold.
He had long planned to make Lin Wanting pay the price for her actions, but not in terms of money.
Forcibly taking Lin Wanting is not He Yuzhu's style. As the saying goes, a person can be killed but not humiliated.
Even when dealing with your own prisoners, you must respect their wishes.
Whatever he does, it should be based on mutual consent; he would never do anything so despicable as to force someone. Although he acts unconventionally in the martial arts world, he has his own set of moral principles.
Immediately afterwards, He Yuzhu reached out his hand, which was particularly clear under the light. He gently lifted Lin Wanting's delicate chin. The movement seemed gentle, but it carried an irresistible force, forcing her to raise her head and look directly into his eyes.
"You only have one option now: either nod in agreement or agree readily. The choice is yours."
He stared into Lin Wanting's eyes, trying to detect a hint of compromise in her gaze.
At this moment, Lin Wanting felt a surge of panic. Her heart was pounding wildly in her chest like a frightened deer.
She naturally understood what He Yuzhu really wanted.
But if paying the ransom was not an option... for a moment, she didn't know how to answer.
All she wanted was to serve him herself.
Now that things have come to this, what right or room do I have to refuse?
Left with no other choice, she could only nod slightly, the movement so subtle it was almost imperceptible, and said in a slightly trembling voice:
"I...I'm willing to be your woman."
When she said those words, she felt her dignity had been trampled on, and she was filled with humiliation.
Hearing this, He Yuzhu's lips curled up slightly, and he asked with a hint of mockery, "Are you really willing to do it?" He seemed to want to confirm Lin Wanting's determination.
At this moment, Lin Wanting was already blushing and extremely shy. She lowered her head, not daring to look directly into He Yuzhu's burning gaze, which seemed to ignite her.
She simply nodded shyly again, responding in a whisper as soft as a mosquito's buzz:
"I...I'm willing." At this moment, she wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground, desperately hoping this nightmare would end soon.
Seeing Lin Wanting so compliant, He Yuzhu smiled with satisfaction, a hint of relief in his smile.
He then turned off the shower, and the water flow stopped instantly, leaving the bathroom completely silent.
Lin Wanting was very well-behaved and sensible. She quickly picked up a clean and tidy towel from the side, which had a faint fragrance.
Her movements were gentle and careful as she meticulously wiped He Yuzhu's body.
After wiping the water off He Yuzhu, she began to wipe the remaining water droplets off her own body.
Chapter 564 Silent Killing Failed?
As she wiped her tears, she silently wept, contemplating her future and unsure of what to do.
Caught completely off guard, Lin Wanting felt as if the world had suddenly turned upside down, a strong sense of dizziness washing over her, and she completely lost control of her body.
She felt everything around her spinning wildly, the wind whistling in her ears, and she had no time to react.
Immediately afterwards, with a muffled thud, she crashed heavily into He Yuzhu's broad, mountain-like, and rock-hard embrace.
The sudden collision jolted her body, and her cheeks instantly became burning hot, as if they had been directly scorched by a raging fire, turning as red as a ripe tomato.
She was filled with shyness and wished she could disappear into the ground. In her panic and helplessness, she could only subconsciously bury her head deep in He Yuzhu's neck, trying to use his warm skin to cover up her embarrassment and shame.
He Yuzhu held Lin Wanting firmly in his arms, his steps firm and powerful, striding quickly towards the depths of the room.
The room was dimly lit, with only a few rays of light filtering through the gaps in the heavy curtains and casting long, thin shadows on the floor.
With each step he took, the wooden floor beneath his feet emitted a dull, rhythmic "thump-thump," echoing in the silent space as if it were the beating of his confident heart.
Soon, he arrived at the soft, comfortable bed covered with a gorgeous brocade quilt. Without the slightest hesitation, he raised his arm slightly and swiftly threw Lin Wanting, whom he was holding, onto the bed.
Lin Wanting's delicate body traced a brief arc in the air before landing heavily on the bed, causing the mattress to sag slightly with a muffled "plop."
Her delicate body trembled, and she couldn't help but let out a soft cry filled with grievance and reproach: "Oh dear, this is my first time, you have to be gentle..."
Her voice was soft and sweet, carrying a hint of shyness and helplessness unique to young girls, like a frightened fawn moaning softly.
He Yuzhu's lips curled up slightly, forming a carefree smile that carried a hint of cynicism yet exuded complete confidence.
He casually reassured her, "Don't worry, baby, I have plenty of experience. I guarantee I'll make you feel like you're in heaven!"
His tone was flippant and teasing, as if he were joking with a long-time, intimate lover.
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanting felt a surge of embarrassment and anger. Her cheeks, already flushed with embarrassment, turned even redder, almost as if they were about to bleed.
She couldn't help but roll her eyes dramatically, inwardly groaning.
Now, she is filled with remorse and is extremely regretful.
Looking back, I was incredibly foolish to have so easily believed my senior brother's sweet talk and been completely swayed by his flattery. I foolishly followed him to assassinate He Yuzhu, this troublesome and ruthless character!
Now, the meticulously planned assassination mission has completely failed. Not only has she become someone's prisoner, but she is also forced to submit to the man she both hates and fears.
Whenever she calms down and recalls these unbearable past events, a venomous glint flashes in Lin Wanting's eyes, a glint like a sharp blade in the night, filled with deep hatred.
She hated her senior brother, whom she had once trusted and relied on, with a burning hatred that made her teeth chatter and she wished she could tear him to pieces immediately.
She secretly vowed that if she ever managed to escape this nightmarish predicament, she would make that unfaithful senior brother pay a terrible price and regret his actions for the rest of his life.
From that moment on, Lin Wanting's last remaining hope of becoming her senior's lover shattered completely like a fragile bubble.
The future seemed stained with thick ink, a chaotic mess, and she was lost in it, not knowing where the ship of fate would take her.
Her thoughts were in complete disarray, a jumble of thoughts she couldn't unravel.
Just as she was immersed in this endless confusion, without any warning, an overwhelming pressure, as heavy as Mount Tai, suddenly descended upon her.
He Yuzhu's massive, mountain-like body pressed down hard on her delicate, petite frame without warning.
The sudden weight felt like a towering mountain, instantly squeezing out all the air left in her lungs. She felt a tightness in her chest and was almost suffocating.
Left with no other choice, she was forced to open her mouth wide, gasping for breath like a fish struggling to survive on the beach after being pulled out of the water.
She breathed frantically, as if only by exerting all her strength could she draw a sliver of life from the thin air.
As she gradually regained consciousness, she was horrified to find that her limbs were as if they had been frozen in place, unable to move an inch, and her body seemed to be tightly bound by invisible yet resilient shackles.
She tried to shout for help, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she felt a strip of cloth with a nauseating smell being stuffed into it.
The rough texture of the cloth rubbed against the inside of her mouth, and her tongue, hindered by the cloth, could only make indistinct, weak whimpering sounds, like a desperate lament from the abyss.
At the same time, she also keenly sensed that her body was tightly bound by ropes, which dug deep into her delicate, fair skin. Every slight struggle felt like countless steel needles piercing her, bringing a piercing, excruciating pain.
She struggled to turn her head, which was sore and numb from maintaining one position for so long, and the sight that came into view made her heart sink into the deepest part of an ice cave.
She saw that her senior brother had also suffered the same inhumane treatment. The two were tightly bound together with ropes, their bodies pressed close together, yet they were like caged beasts trapped in a cage, unable to break free from this demonic restraint.
At this moment, the situation inside the house terrified her, and she almost fainted.
Besides He Yuzhu, who had just committed an indecent act against her, there were three other unfamiliar men standing there.
The three men had cold, stern faces and eyes that sent chills down one's spine. They were like demons crawling out of the darkest abyss of hell, exuding a terrifying aura.
Du Guanghe's company owns a large and impressive fleet of ships.
This unique advantage was like equipping him with an invincible weapon to carry out this secret mission, providing him with great convenience.
Upon receiving the urgent order from his superiors, he did not hesitate or waver at all. He swiftly and decisively selected two of his most capable, agile, and absolutely loyal confidants from among his many subordinates.
The three boarded a speedboat and, under the cover of the thick, inky night, sailed against the wind and waves, hurtling towards the Haojiang River like an arrow released from a bow.
The ship tossed and turned violently on the turbulent, undulating sea, the deafening roar of the engine seeming to tear the silent night sky apart.
After a long and arduous journey, they finally arrived at their destination, Haojiang, in the middle of the night.
At this time, Haojiang is brightly lit, and the city's hustle and bustle never stops even in the dead of night.
They checked into the renowned international hotel in the area without any problems. The hotel lobby was brightly lit, and the guests coming and going were in a hurry, with different expressions on their faces.
However, Du Guang and his two companions did not choose to rest and relax despite their exhaustion from the journey. They were well aware of the urgency, difficulty, and importance of this mission, which weighed heavily on their minds.
The three of them quickly and easily packed up the equipment needed for the mission in the room, and then sat quietly in the darkness, like cheetahs lurking in the shadows, patiently waiting for the dawn to arrive.
According to a meticulously planned scheme, they were to go to He Yuzhu's room at this specific moment to engage in a fierce contest full of unknowns and challenges.
In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight, like delicate golden gauze, gently filtered through the gaps in the carved windows, adding warmth to the slightly rustic room.
