Chapter 833: Don’t Be Afraid, I’m Here! (3)
In B City, is there really someone daring enough to kidnap the heiress of the Shengshi Group?
Tired of living?
But right now, Mu Ke had no time to think about these things. Whether those people were tired of living, he didn’t know; he only knew that he had to quickly find Sheng Jiayu and bring her out safely.
Leaving from this road out of the community, there’s only one possible road to take, but beyond that road, there are many forks.
Mu Ke sped out as fast as he could. He knew that the possibility of catching up after that moment of delay was slim, but if he didn’t delay even a moment, he would have no clues at all.
Mu Ke drove with one hand while dialing the phone with the other.
He was proud but not arrogant. He might have a hundred ways to find Sheng Jiayu and rescue her, but it was evident that the quickest way was to find Sheng Jianan.
This is B City, Sheng Jianan’s territory; only he could lock onto a person most quickly and efficiently.
Mu Ke conveyed all the clues he’d gathered, the shape of the car, its color, everything he told to Sheng Jianan.

Sheng Jiayu woke up groggily to hear a man talking, seemingly on the phone with someone, as only his voice could be heard.
"The person has been caught, when will the money be in place? What?... You dare to mess with me?..."
The man seemed to ramble quite a bit, but Sheng Jiayu couldn’t hear anything toward the end. The man opened a big iron door and walked out, closing it with a clang.
Sheng Jiayu’s head was heavy, as if the effects of the sedative hadn’t worn off. She bit down hard on the tip of her tongue, the taste of blood mixing with sharp pain, clearing her mind a little.
Sheng Jiayu was always rational and calm. Although her current situation was very frightening, she knew that fear was useless. If she didn’t rescue herself, something worse was sure to happen.
Opening her eyes, it was very dark around, vaguely sensing a bit of light above, perhaps a small friendly window, but it was of no use. It remained very dim, with nothing visible.
Sheng Jiayu’s hands and feet were tied, making it impossible to break free, and there was tape over her mouth.
Self-rescue!
But how to self-rescue?
Delay time?
She had texted Mu Ke, saying she would soon arrive at the civil affairs bureau. When Mu Ke found out that she hadn’t arrived, would he suspect anything?
That man, so clever, he probably would, right?
So she needed to delay time, she definitely needed to delay time.
Kidnapping was nothing more than revenge or for money. Sheng Jiayu thought she had no enemies who would use this way to retaliate against her, and if it was for money, then that was easier to handle; whatever amount he wanted could be given.
After an unknown amount of time, the iron door clanged open again with a loud crash, possibly being pulled open by someone. Sheng Jiayu quickly closed her eyes, her ears prickling up.
She heard footsteps of two people, one of which was wearing high heels.
A man and a woman?
No sooner had this thought flashed through Sheng Jiayu’s mind, she heard an incredibly familiar voice: "This is the second payment, the remaining balance, I will soon have someone transfer to you."
Sheng Jiayu’s heart skipped a beat, Su Wan?
That was Su Wan’s voice.
"Don’t try to mess with me, pay the full amount first, or you won’t be taking her anywhere."
"You..."
The sound of high heels stomped on the floor a few times, followed by Su Wan’s voice: "This is all I have on hand right now. When I get the money from others, I won’t shortchange you."
