Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Han Wanling knew how important Yun Xi was to the Young Commander. She was certain that the Young Commander would be agreeable to whatever conditions she asked for.

Protecting the Han family was her top priority. If the Han family survived, she could go on to other matters. If it failed, all that she had spent building during the last few years would all have been for nought.

Unfortunately, just as she was certain that she held the ticket to victory in her hands, she took the bag off the prisoner’s head and realized that this was not who she had wanted.

Qiao Ximin had been enveloped by fear during the entire journey of her kidnapping. However, all the fear within her immediately transformed into resentment at the sight of Han Wanling.

MMMM! The tape was still on her mouth, and Qiao Ximin could only show her anger with her eyes as she struggled. She could not wait to strangle Han Wanling.

Han Wanling was in shock as well. She looked around for the kidnappers only to find that they had already fled. Annoyed, she turned to Qiao Ximin and removed the tape from her mouth.

“Why are you here?” The Qiao family had been rivals of the Han family, and they had been taking projects and business opportunities away from them. They were enemies, but there was no reason to kidnap Qiao Ximin. She was useless to the current situation the Han Corporation was in.

Once her mouth had been freed, Qiao Ximin could not wait to charge toward Han Wanling. Her voice nearly cracked as she screamed, “You’re scum, Han Wanling. How dare you kidnap me?”

Qiao Ximin had been mocked by the kidnappers on the entire way to the location. All her humiliation and anger had accumulated into this eruption.

“I didn’t want you kidnapped. I didn’t know they were so dumb that they kidnapped the wrong person.

Han Wanling laughed coldly. “Well, since they got it wrong, then they got it wrong. Just wait here, someone will come for you. You’ve been taking a lot of projects from us lately and have been suppressing our influence everywhere you go, so it’s good that maybe you have been taught a lesson. This is a payoff for all the hard work I’ve been doing.”

“You…”

Qiao Ximin’s pupils enlarged in her rage, and her expression became fearsome as she looked at Han Wanling. The two were enemies, but they had never had a confrontation. The mutual suppression of the other family’s influence had always been done in a corporate setting. Objectively speaking, it was nothing personal.

But with the kidnapping, the tension had become something personal.

“Just you wait, I will not let this go! I will sue you. For kidnapping me.”

This had been the most terrifying experience of Qiao Ximin’s life. Never had she experienced so much fear and terror. The kidnapping was sure to leave an impact on her.

“Miss Qiao, evidence is needed in court. Those guys ran off, and there’s no one else here to be your witness. If you want to sue me, who will speak for you? Who will be your witness? If you can’t produce anyone, I will simply sue you for slander.”

“You…” Qiao Ximin finally regained her composure and began to study the abandoned warehouse where she was located. She had been taken on her way back to the family residence. There had been no surveillance around her, much less anyone who had seen her being taken.

Without eyewitnesses or testimonies, she could not take any legal action against the Han family. More important, if Han Wanling did not free her, she was uncertain if she could escape from this place with her life.

After much consideration, Qiao Ximin concluded that she should listen to Han Wanling. “I will let this go if you let me go.”

There was nothing more important than living at the current point in time.

“That will not do. You Qiaos have been at war with us Hans for a while now. If I don’t use this chance to strike back, it shows I lack any respect for my family. You should starve for a few days first. If I feel like it, I might find someone to notify the Qiao family of your status so they can rescue you.”

With a sneer, Han Wanling tilted her chin high and walked off without another word.

“Stop right there! What do you want? I’ll do it if you let me go.

“You witch! Stop!”

No matter how loudly Qiao Ximin screamed, Han Wanling did not stop.. In fact, her footsteps felt lighter with every step she took.
