These words confirmed Mu Xiaoyu's guess, and her already pale face now had no color left at all.
Not only Mu Xiaoyu, but even the usually innocent Bai Luo probably guessed what they were planning to do at this point. The thought of such a thing happening made Bai Luo start to struggle, and even with her mouth covered, she began to sob.
Whether Mu Xiaoyu knew or not, she never said anything.
The closer it got to this point, the calmer she became. She knew very well that at this critical moment, when they didn't know if anyone would come to rescue them, she could only rely on herself to find a way to escape. If she panicked at this moment, it would really be the end for her.
No matter how much Mu Xiaoyu tried to calm herself down, she was ultimately just an ordinary woman, and she could feel scared too.
Her slightly trembling body already betrayed her current emotions.
"Miss Mu, don't worry, we wouldn't dare touch that girl from the Bai family. As for you... we'll treat you with utmost care. This matter will pass quickly. After all, as long as you're alive, there's hope, isn't there..."
The leader tried to comfort Mu Xiaoyu, but such comfort was worse than no comfort at all.
Mu Xiaoyu closed her eyes, her mind racing. She finally opened her eyes as the people finished setting up the camera equipment.
“I will double whatever benefits the person who made you do these things gave you. And... before you do these things, you had better understand that once you do them, Li Chenxu will not let you off the hook.”
"Miss Mu, you'd better not waste your breath. That person has already told us that no matter how much money you offer, he will pay double. Besides, someone as smart as you, Mu Xiaoyu, can't you see who we are? People who are willing to risk their lives, would you be afraid of that young master from the Li family?"
The leader chuckled, and after saying this, a flicker of pity flashed in his eyes as he looked at Mu Xiaoyu's trembling body, which was shaking even more violently. However, this pity vanished in an instant. The next second, he looked at Qiangzi and the others and said, "Alright, you guys get to work. Get this Bai family girl out of here first, otherwise it won't be worth it if something goes wrong..."
"Was it Mu Pengzheng who sent you?"
Before the leader could finish speaking, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly spoke up. The leader was taken aback for a moment, but quickly smiled.
Compared to Qiangzi and his group's attempts to conceal the truth, the leader was clearly much more forthcoming.
"You're quite clever; it was indeed him who contacted us. But even if you knew that, it wouldn't have mattered. I really feel sorry for you. A woman as good as you, with money, fame, and beauty, should have been living a smooth and successful life. It's just a pity you had such a father. If you have to blame someone, you can only blame your bad luck."
Mu Xiaoyu is indeed unlucky. Other parents cherish and pamper their children. She used to have a loving mother, but that mother killed her with her own hands. And now, this father not only wants to ruin her, but also wants her dead!
Mu Xiaoyu originally thought that after so many years, she would have become numb to Mu Pengzheng's affairs.
But now she realizes that her heart still aches when she hears others say those things.
She couldn't help but let out a self-deprecating laugh. Her trembling body stopped shaking at that moment. She looked up at the leader, whose clear black and white eyes were now completely calm.
“You’re right, if anyone’s to blame, it’s my father… But let me tell you, if you really dare to lay a hand on me, I’ll bite my tongue and kill myself right now. Then I’ll see how you explain yourselves to Mu Pengzheng.”
As Mu Xiaoyu said this, she suddenly chuckled, a mocking glint in her eyes.
"Mu Pengzheng hasn't asked you to kill me yet, but he's probably saving an even bigger trick up his sleeve for me, isn't he? If I die, someone like Mu Pengzheng won't give you any money. Besides, I don't think you're as indifferent to life as you say. If you really didn't care, what would you need so much money for? Tell me, what will happen to Li Chenxu and the Bai family if I die?"
None of the kidnappers seemed to have expected that Mu Xiaoyu would analyze things so calmly at this moment. For a moment, except for the leader who spoke, the expressions on the faces of the others all changed.
Mu Xiaoyu is right. Even if they are desperate criminals, they can't be indifferent to their own lives, otherwise they wouldn't have thought of letting Bai Luo go.
They had originally planned to simply do what Mu Pengzheng instructed them to do. But now it seems things aren't so simple.
A woman who is too smart is no good. Even if Mu Xiaoyu is not dead, if we let her go back, she will definitely not let them go.
With a family background like the Li family, finding them and dealing with them would be a piece of cake...
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through the leader's mind, and his gaze toward Mu Xiaoyu became increasingly dangerous.
Mu Xiaoyu had already made a do-or-die decision. There were only two possible outcomes to what she had just said: either her words would have an effect and the kidnappers would release her and cooperate with her.
The other one was that he angered the kidnappers, and they killed him to silence him.
Mu Xiaoyu wanted the first result, of course, but even if she didn't get it, dying was better than being humiliated.
Time passed slowly, and everyone inside the room fell silent. The room was eerily quiet, but most of the kidnappers were now looking at Mu Xiaoyu with murderous intent.
"Heh... what a clever girl. I wonder if having a daughter like you is Mu Pengzheng's fortune or his misfortune..."
After an unknown amount of time, the leader suddenly spoke. He gave Mu Xiaoyu a cold look and then said to Qiangzi and the others, "Go get a chair for Miss Mu to sit on. From now on, she is our VIP. We can't afford to offend her."
These words clearly revealed the leader's current stance. The others were shocked, especially Qiangzi, who had previously always appeared lewd and irresponsible. He immediately exclaimed, "Big Brother! Do you know what you're saying?! If we really cooperate with this girl, Mu Pengzheng won't let us off the hook! Don't you know…?"
"enough!"
Before Qiangzi could finish speaking, the leader interrupted him. He glanced at him, and although Qiangzi's face showed a thousand resentments, he ultimately shut his mouth.
