Emma huddled in the corner of the van, too scared to speak or cry out, like a little lamb. Her dark, bright eyes were filled with tears, on the verge of falling, and anyone who saw her would feel heartbroken.
According to their kidnapping procedure, they should tie Emma's hands and feet to prevent her from escaping. But as soon as they took out the rope, Emma complained with a crying voice, "Why are you doing this? I'm cooperating, and you still want to tie me up..."
After all, she was a pampered rich girl, and indeed precious. Otherwise, when it comes to ransom her, if Benjamin saw his beloved daughter injured, he would definitely not let it go.
"Then... is that it? We'll lock her up, and a delicate little girl like her won't be able to escape," the four kidnappers discussed and agreed, only threatening her verbally, "Behave yourself, don't try anything funny!"
Emma nodded, feeling wronged.
And so, the van left the city smoothly, gradually becoming more remote until it arrived at a deserted small factory in the outskirts. The kidnappers had everything they needed there, obviously their temporary hideout. After all, raising money takes time, and they needed cash to cover their tracks.
To get 50 million in cash would take at least until tomorrow.
The kidnappers got out of the van, leaving Emma locked up in the small factory. They took turns watching her.
If Emma had any intention of running away, they could immediately catch her. However, Emma was obedient and didn't have any thoughts of running away. Instead, she complained loudly to them, "You want me to eat this? What is this? I'd rather starve! I won't eat it!" She even acted like a princess and sat there angrily, refusing to eat the cold fast food.
The kidnappers looked at each other in confusion. They had limited resources and usually ate plain buns and pickled vegetables without any complaints. But Emma was acting like a spoiled child, not a hostage. "If you don't want to eat, you'll starve!" one of them threatened.
"I'd rather starve than eat this. If my dad comes to ransom me tomorrow and sees his starving daughter, do you think you'll still get your 50 million?" Emma retorted.
No one could argue with her threat, so Emma won. "Well, Miss, what do you want to eat? I'll go buy it for you. Is that okay?" one of the kidnappers asked.
Emma didn't hesitate to give a long list of orders. One of the kidnappers went out to buy her food, leaving three to guard her. Emma wandered around the factory, ignoring the three kidnappers who followed her every move.
As she was walking back from a corner of the factory, she heard the sound of kicking and hitting coming from a shipping container.
There's someone inside and they're tied up.
Emma had a guess in her mind and asked, "What's inside?"
"It's nothing, just a sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Miss, it's too stinky here. If you're bored, go somewhere else."
"Open it."
Emma raised her eyebrows, her tone no longer as pitiful as before, but with a commanding tone.
The kidnappers immediately became cold, "Don't push your luck! Just because we let you be doesn't mean you can do whatever you want!"
"Is that so?"
Emma smiled, picked up an axe from the side, and with one swift motion, chopped off the lock on the container door.
She was quick and ruthless, and before the kidnappers could react, she had already opened the container door.
In an instant, a girl who was tightly bound and gagged rolled out of the container and landed at Emma's feet.
The girl was stunned, and immediately started to make muffled noises towards Emma. Her mouth was covered with a cloth, so she could only make such sounds.
Emma reached out and tore off the cloth from her mouth.
The girl breathed a sigh of relief and then started to curse at the kidnappers without holding back.
"Damn, you guys are really good at kidnapping! You not only tied me up, but also put me in a place full of cockroaches. Are those cockroaches your relatives? And you take such good care of them?"
The kidnappers faces became even more unpleasant.
The girl was kidnapped yesterday. The reason for the kidnapping was quite dramatic.
Originally, their target was one of this girl's classmates. However, when she saw her classmate being kidnapped, she rolled up her sleeves and chased after them.
In the end, she fought off four of them and managed to save her classmate, who took the opportunity to run away. Unfortunately, she was unable to escape and was captured by the kidnappers.
The kidnappers exchanged a glance and then approached her with a rope, ready to tie up Emma. At this point, they didn't care if the girl was hurt or not. They just wanted to tie her up to prevent any further trouble.
The girl on the ground was furious and shouted, "Do you have no shame? So many of you bullying just one person! Hey, hey!"
She wanted to rush forward to help, but she was tied up and couldn't move..
Feeling guilty and angry, the girl was about to curse at them when suddenly there was a loud bang.
One of the kidnappers was thrown back and then there was a scream, followed by the sound of bones cracking.
Looking up, Emma was still standing in the same spot, without a speck of dust on her.
Meanwhile, the three kidnappers were writhing on the ground in pain.
The girl looked at Emma with a mix of guilt, worry, and then admiration. "Wow! You're so cool!"
Emma smiled and walked over to untie the girl. She casually asked, "How did you get kidnapped?"
It's a bit awkward to talk about this. But the girl still spoke frankly.
When it came to her companion who abandoned her and ran away, she was still a little sad. It's okay if they couldn't win the fight, but at least they could have called for help. It wouldn't have left her trapped in this dark place.
"Never mind, let's not talk about that."
The girl said nonchalantly, then reached out her hand to Emma with a bright smile on her face.
"Hello, my savior. My name is Aria."
"I'm Emma."
And so, the two of them became acquainted.
It was all thanks to this inexplicable fate. Emma had gone along with this act, but she never expected to actually save someone by accident.
After Aria regained her freedom, she looked at the three men writhing on the ground and asked, "What should we do with them?"
"Tie them up," Emma tossed the rope to Aria and smirked. "Tie them up tightly."
"Got it!"
Aria had almost suffocated to death while trapped here. Now that she had the chance to take revenge, she smiled brightly, but it made the three men on the ground shiver in fear.
