Chapter 126: Chapter 126 Anger

Ji Yu smiled faintly, "Don’t you think such tricks are completely useless against us? You’re someone who fears death. Using tricks like these is really missing a bit of meaning."

She had already studied matters like this a long time ago.

Besides, the news here should already have reached Hong. It won’t take long before the police arrive. Even if Cai Xun wants to do something, it’s simply not possible.

"If you want money, take it and leave. Why waste more time here?"

She patiently tried to persuade Cai Xun, hoping he wouldn’t stir up trouble.

Cai Xun actually hesitated a bit, but the people around him began to grow arrogant, thinking Cai Xun surely wouldn’t dare to act. "Turns out it’s just a loser who wants money. All this is for you, and you don’t have to pay it back. Let us go quickly, don’t waste our time."

They had already lost their patience with this matter long ago.

The money was flung onto Cai Xun’s face, scattering like snowflakes.

This turn of events was indeed somewhat unexpected.

Even Ji Yu glanced at the chubby boss with a surprised look in her eyes. "Even if he truly doesn’t dare to act, using tactics like this to humiliate him will only provoke him."

Sure enough, the current situation was already out of control emotionally, wasn’t it?

Faced with this scene, Cai Xun’s eyes turned icy cold, and the knife was directly placed against the man’s neck. "Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?"

Ji Yu calculated the time, estimating the police would arrive soon. She didn’t need to worry too much about the matter with the chubby boss.

As for the others, they had already started to grow anxious.

Gu Qixiao looked at Ji Yu’s calm demeanor and thought she was scared, so he deliberately moved closer to her side.

Fortunately, there didn’t seem to be any immediate problem with the situation.

Ji Yu naturally noticed his action, but before she could manage a thank you, she felt someone shove her from behind.

She hadn’t been prepared, so the push caught her off guard, causing her to tumble onto the ground.

She instinctively shielded her stomach, afraid of harming the child within.

When Cai Xun saw this, he pulled Ji Yu up. "Looks like you’re already itching to throw yourself into my trap."

He smiled sinisterly, his expression as dark and venomous as a snake slithering onto Ji Yu’s neck.

Ji Yu frowned and looked behind her. Sure enough, it was Song Xuan.

"I didn’t mean it, Xiao! I was pushed accidentally just now." After all, the surveillance cameras were broken, so there was no need to worry about anyone tattling.

Gu Qixiao’s expression turned ashen. Seeing Ji Yu being taken hostage left him unable to maintain his previous calm demeanor.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"What do I want? I just want to leave here. Don’t follow me. Otherwise, we’ll all die together." Ji Yu would certainly die if she stayed near him.

The others didn’t dare get close. They could only watch as the two of them slowly inched toward the door.

A thin line of blood had already been drawn on Ji Yu’s neck, and the pain made her slightly furrow her brows. "By doing this, you won’t be able to get away either."

This kind of move was completely unnecessary.

But since the events had already unfolded, even if he wanted to change them, it was too late.

"Ji Yu, what do you think you are? Today, I’m taking you with me. Let’s see if they dare to do anything to me!"

Outside, the sound of police sirens rang out. Ji Yu knew the police had arrived.

But the timing was a bit off.

Especially when dealing with someone like him, Ji Yu found herself at a loss.

"Did you call the police?"

"Do you think I’m capable of that? Just now, no one had any signal. If I could report to the police, I’d be some kind of deity." She replied with an unwavering tone.

Actually, the police being summoned was all Hong’s doing—it wasn’t Ji Yu who called them.

Cai Xun’s hand trembled slightly. At the sight of the police, it was clear he was even more cowardly.

"Your actions will only ensure we all die. You won’t survive either. What’s the point?"

"Shut up!" He dragged Ji Yu into the car, completely ignoring the police’s warnings.

"Release the hostage, and you’ll still have a chance to live. We just want to have a proper conversation with you."

They had been prepared to handle someone like him long ago. As they saw Cai Xun’s behavior, they couldn’t hold back from taking action.

Cai Xun sneered coldly. "Don’t even think about deceiving me. Today, either I leave here, or Ji Yu dies along with me. You choose."

He had no intention of reconciling with them, knowing full well how important Ji Yu was to them.

By now, not even Gu Qixiao or Ji Yuanzhou dared to act rashly, which meant he’d pretty much won.

The police found themselves helpless in this scenario—after all, the safety of the hostage was paramount.

"Don’t be impulsive. We can let you leave, but the hostage has to stay behind."

As they spoke, they cleared a path, seeming to signal that they were ready to let him leave quickly.

Being restrained to the side didn’t faze Ji Yu much; she already had a tracking device on her. There was no way they would lose her now.

She watched as the scenery around her shifted, accompanied by Cai Xun’s arrogant laughter.

"Ji Yu, look at how pathetic you are now. Weren’t you all trying to ruin me? Well, you succeeded, and now I’m going to destroy you."

His eyes teemed with malice, gazing at Ji Yu as if looking at his sworn enemy.

"I didn’t do anything to you. If your project failed, it’s your own fault. How could you possibly blame others for it?"

His project being canceled had been his own issue, yet now he was putting the blame on others.

"You definitely said something to Gu Qixiao, or else why would things suddenly turn out like this?"

Ji Yu felt exasperated. "Gu Qixiao wanted to switch to a different partner, but he’s not an idiot. The things you’ve done haven’t gone unnoticed."

Obvious flaws in the funding chain shouldn’t need anyone to point them out, should they?

It was merely his lack of understanding of these matters that caused such illusions.

Not wanting to argue over his issues, Ji Yu leaned to the side, pretending to rest, quietly waiting for Cai Xun to fatigue.

Cai Xun didn’t dare let his guard down. After bringing Ji Yu to an abandoned warehouse in the eastern part of the city, he finally rested in the car.

Meanwhile, Hong went to rendezvous with Ji Yuanzhou.

"I have Yu’s location. She’s currently in an abandoned warehouse in the east part of the city and hasn’t moved for ten minutes."

As he spoke, he shared the tracking data to both of their phones.

Soon, a small red dot appeared on their map.

"The more people searching, the higher the chances of finding her. Let’s hope Yu is alright."

Ji Yuanzhou didn’t know who Hong was, but since Ji Yu trusted him enough to provide the tracking data, he must be reliable. Without hesitation, Ji Yuanzhou led his team to find her.

Although Gu Qixiao had plenty of questions he wanted answers to, he at least understood the urgency of the situation. Without further delay, he hurried to track Ji Yu down.
