Thomas stubbornly refused to admit his involvement.
"I didn't do it, why are you accusing me without evidence? I don't even know what happened to Emma. You can't force me to confess! Maybe someone is framing me!"
No one knew his brother better than Thomas did. As long as he denied it, Benjamin would hesitate.
His assumption was correct, but unfortunately...
Sebastian arrived and threw the kidnapper in front of Thomas.
"When I got off the car, I saw this guy acting suspiciously. I suspected he was involved in the kidnapping, so I deliberately probed him. It turns out I was right!"
The kidnapper was the unlucky guy who drove the van and got caught.
Sebastian had already threatened him, so he immediately shouted at Thomas, "Boss, how can you go back on your word? Didn't you promise to give us one million as ransom?"
Thomas glared at him and scolded, "When did I ever say that? I clearly said it was only one hundred and fifty thousand!"
Silence fell around them.
After speaking, Thomas realized he had made a mistake and this sentence shattered the last bit of trust Benjamin had in him!
"Brother, I didn't, I didn't..."
"I will only ask you the last time, where is my daughter?"
Thomas didn't say anything, but the kidnapper on the ground trembled and said, "I know! I'll lead the way!"
Meanwhile, Emma stretched lazily and stood up from the ground in the abandoned factory.
All the scars on her face and arms were just makeup.
A lipstick was enough to create all the scars. As for the scene where she was beaten in the video just now...
Emma looked at the three kidnappers squatting on the ground with a smile that was not a smile.
"You acted well."
"Miss, we didn't dare to use force just now!"
The three of them defended themselves when they met her gaze.
The strength was like scratching an itch. It was just that the lighting was dim and the camera was far away, so it created the illusion of punching and kicking.
In fact, they had also thought about seizing the opportunity to tie Emma up tightly, but Aria was standing next to them with an electric drill- if they dared to do so, the electric drill could kill them.
In this way, the play was quite successful.
Emma didn't hide anything from Aria. She roughly explained the reason why she was kidnapped during the makeup time.
When Aria heard that she had such a Second Uncle, she was so angry that she cursed, "He's such a bastard!"
Estimating the time, Emma thought that Uncle Robinson should have come with her father by now.
Since it was a play, they had to do the whole thing. So Emma asked Aria to tie her up.
Of course, to prevent these kidnappers from having any ill intentions, the rope was in Emma's hand. If she wanted to break free, she could easily untie herself with a gentle pull...
According to Emma's plan, she had to play the part of the victim to the end.
When her father arrived and saw his injured daughter, he would not be soft on Thomas no matter what.
At that time, Uncle Robinson would bring out the contract that Thomas had signed before, which exposed his evil plan clearly.
He embezzled the money the company had ordered first, and then hired someone to kidnap his own daughter.
With both old and new accounts to settle, could Benjamin forgive him?
"Okay."
After Aria loosely tied up Emma and handed her the rope, she turned around and picked up the electric drill, saying, "Sister Emma, don't worry. I'll be hiding on the side. If they have any wicked thoughts, I'll come out and take care of them!"
"Okay."
Emma laughed, "You've helped me a lot."
"You saved my life, so what's the big deal?" Aria patted her chest, looking like she was all about loyalty.
The three tied-up kidnappers who had been cowering in fear also stood up. To fit in with Emma's next scene, they had to play the role of villains again.
Just then, the sound of a car engine could be heard from outside.
They're here.
Aria immediately hid, and the three kidnappers with fierce expressions slowly approached Emma.
Emma switched back to her timid self, looking like a helpless little lamb.
And then... The factory gate opened.
It was kicked open by someone!
On the rusty iron gate, a deep footprint declared the dominance of the intruder. Emma was stunned!
Was her dad really that powerful?
Looking up, she saw a tall, slender figure standing at the entrance.
His face was devilishly handsome, otherworldly and ethereal like an immortal from the heavens, but with a strong aura of hostility. Especially his deep and sharp eyes, at the moment they were filled with a hint of coldness and killing intent, radiating an overwhelming aura.
The intruder was Elijah!
Emma was speechless. "Y-you...why are you here?"
But when Elijah saw her, he furrowed his brows tightly.
The little girl he had seen just a few days ago was perfectly fine, but now her lips were bruised and her arms were covered in whip marks.
The wound was shocking to the eye.
In an instant, the killing intent in Elijah's eyes grew even stronger.
With a long stride, he walked up and started beating the three kidnappers mercilessly!
If Emma's beating of them before was just a drizzle, then Elijah's moves now were like a storm.
Each punch was without pause and could be fatal!
The poor three kidnappers were crushed by the powerful force, unable to even scream.
Emma quickly rushed forward and pulled him back, shouting, "Stop, stop! I'm fine, these wounds on my body are fake, and the kidnapping was all part of my plan."
Hearing Emma's words, Elijah stopped his hand, but his gaze fell on her, with emotions that couldn't be resolved. "Is that so?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Emma nodded frantically, and to make the boss believe her, she grabbed Elijah's hand and placed it on her face. "Don't believe me? Touch it, these wounds are made with lipstick, they're fake!"
The little girl's skin was smooth as jade, delicate and tender, like a peeled egg, so tender that water could be squeezed out of it.
His heart seemed to be stirred by something. His heart was in chaos, but he didn't feel any disgust.
Elijah still remained skeptical, "Fake?"
After saying that, he solemnly reached out both hands and pinched Emma's face, one left and one right.
Hmm...
The texture was even better than she had imagined.
Emma felt that something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. In the end, she simply explained her plan and prepared to send him away.
"You should leave now and not interfere with my plan!"
"..."
The little girl's courage grew stronger.
He had traveled a long way to save her, only to be rudely dismissed by her?
