The kidnappers were regretful and remorseful, feeling blue in the face.
They could only blame the kidnapping for being too easy. They had effortlessly captured Emma, who appeared weak and helpless throughout the entire process, deceiving all of them.
Subconsciously, they thought that a mere girl could not escape the grasp of several big men.
Could she even escape to the end of the world?
As it turned out, she could.
Not only that, but she was also incredibly skilled in combat.
However, she had been pretending from the very beginning...
The kidnappers struggled desperately, and some even tried to run away. However, Emma would occasionally strike them, and in the end, all three of them were easily tied up by Aria.
Aria looked around, clapped her hands in satisfaction, and asked, "Sister Emma, I remember there were four of them in total. Where is the other one?"
The term "Sister Emma" made Emma feel some how uncomfortable. She turned her head and saw that Aria had already regarded her as the leader.
Her black and white eyes were filled with admiration!
She had accidentally gained a fan, which wasn't a bad feeling.
Emma pulled over a chair and sat down casually, saying, "There's one more... but he's not coming back."
This sentence reassured Aria, but it left the three tied-up kidnappers feeling completely hopeless.
What else do they not understand at this point?
This young lady had been making a fuss about the food being unpalatable from the very beginning, just to drive them away.
It's lucky that they were still hoping for their comrades to come and save them, but they didn't expect...
It's all over now, completely over! "Sister Emma, should we leave now or what?"
"Don't worry, someone will come to pick us up."
"Okay, then I'll go make some instant noodles."
Aria had been locked up for a whole day without anything to eat, and now she couldn't care less. She picked up the instant noodles piled up in the corner and went to boil some water.
Although the factory had been abandoned, it was still the hideout of several kidnappers, and they had plenty of daily necessities.
Emma sat in a chair, but her gaze kept shifting to the kidnappers.
Suddenly, she laughed, "Do you know where your comrade is?"
Under the dim light of the fluorescent lamp, her smile carried a hint of wickedness, which made the kidnappers shiver.
"Could it be... you killed him...?"
The kidnappers didn't say the rest of the sentence, but each of them had such a suspicion in their hearts.
Earlier, Emma said that their comrade wouldn't be coming back.
What did that mean? Wasn't it that he was... killed?
Emma raised her eyebrows and suddenly asked, "Tell me, what did Thomas offer you? Don't lie, or your comrade's fate will be yours."
The employer behind them was named by her so explicitly.
There was no doubt or need for further questioning, her tone was so certain.Obviously, she knew everything.
The kidnappers looked at each other and ultimately fearing for their lives, answered in a low voice, "He gave us fifty thousand and promised to give us another hundred thousand after the job was done..."
Oh.
So, just a mere one hundred and fifty thousand made them willing to take her life?
Emma said indifferently, "Since you've taken the money, it'll be easier to follow the legal process.
Have you considered how many years you'll be sentenced for kidnapping and extortion?"
"Miss, please forgive us. We were just momentarily confused. We really won't dare to do it again in the future! We can swear to God!" the kidnappers pleaded.
Momentarily confused?
What a perfect excuse to absolve themselves of responsibility.
They kidnapped people for money, did immoral things, and in the end, they could just say they were momentarily confused and not take any responsibility?
There's no such thing!
Emma sneered, "If swearing worked, you would have been struck by lightning hundreds of times by now."
"However..." She changed her tone and added slowly, "I'll give you a chance to redeem yourselves. As long as you behave and follow my orders, I won't pursue this kidnapping incident."
"Okay, please tell us what you want us to do, Miss. We'll do it!" the kidnappers nodded repeatedly, not realizing that in just a few words, Emma had already led them by the nose.
After fiddling with it for a while, Aria finally made a bowl of instant noodles. She handed one to Emma and chuckled, "Sister Emma, try this. I added two packets of seasoning, so it should taste good."
"Thank you," Emma took it and suddenly asked, "Aria, do you know how to do makeup?"
"Hmm?" Aria blinked, "Yes, I do."
"Good, after we finish eating, we'll get to work."
....
It was already more than four hours since Emma had gone missing and been kidnapped.
Since receiving the kidnapper's call, Benjamin had cancelled all his work and urgently contacted the bank to withdraw fifty million.
However, this was a huge amount of money, and just counting the cash would take a lot of time, let alone a bank that didn't have that much cash at the moment...
Benjamin was worried about his daughter but was also afraid of the kidnapper's threat of tearing up the ticket, so he dared not speak out.
He could only keep this news to himself and not let Amelia and her son know, using the excuse of being busy with work to avoid going home.
Seeing Benjamin pacing back and forth anxiously, Sebastian came forward helplessly and comforted him, "Since they want money, they won't do anything to Emma. All we can do now is to raise the money as soon as possible."
Sebastian, do you think someone is targeting me, so they went after my daughter?"
Benjamin became more and more convinced that it was possible.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that this happened at the critical moment when that batch of bidding projects went wrong? Was someone trying to give him a warning?
Sebastian choked, almost saying that the real wolves were the ones raised in his house.
Otherwise, why would a young girl take such risks?
Before he could say anything, his phone rang.
After glancing at the display, Sebastian quietly left Benjamin's office.
"Hello, Emma, are you okay? Is everything still going smoothly? Did you get hurt anywhere?"
Emma, on the other end of the phone, chuckled softly.
The only person who knew the truth about her kidnapping was Sebastian, or Uncle Robinson as she called him.
When the plan was first proposed, Uncle Robinson was strongly opposed to it because he was worried about her safety. However, he couldn't resist her persuasion and finally reluctantly agreed after she installed a tracker on her phone to ensure her safety.
As for the kidnapper who went out to buy food and never came back, he was actually controlled by someone arranged by Uncle Robinson.
"Emma just whispered, 'Uncle Robinson, you can start as planned.'"
"Okay, be careful!"
The phone was not hung up yet, and Sebastian only adjusted his mood slightly. Suddenly, he rushed into Benjamin's office with a surprised look and shouted, "Benjamin! Emma just called me!"
