Black Lotus villain disguise strategy

The food delivery person took away the untouched vegetable porridge on the stool, and said to the man who was walking towards him:
"Boss, she doesn't eat."

The man stared, then turned to stare at Xue Ran in the corner,
In just two days, she had lost weight visibly to the naked eye. Her hands were tied and she leaned listlessly against the pillar, her eyes closed, her whole body was weak and decadent.

"You deserve it if you starve to death!!"

The man said angrily, turned and walked away with disgust on his face, and slammed the door with a "bang".

Hearing the sound of footsteps getting farther and farther away, Xue Ran slowly opened his eyes,
Her body was in great pain, but her nerves seemed to be enjoying some kind of morbid pleasure. She breathed weakly, and the corners of her chapped lips raised a slight arc...
.
The waiting time seemed like years. Two days passed, and there was still no news from the kidnappers.

Jiang Xun was looking for information and pictures in front of the computer. It was inconvenient for them to call the police directly because of their limited manpower and resources, and it would take more time to screen them one by one.
He felt like he couldn't sit still.

Bai Zinc hung up the phone and said:
"I checked, and it's not the person from the transaction side." He sat down on the chair, puzzled, "What is the origin of the kidnapper?"

Turning his head to see Jiang Xun's face, bloodless and gloomy, he couldn't help frowning,

　"I said, do you want to take a break?"

Jiang Xun suddenly stood up from the chair, took a deep breath,
Somewhere in the heart seems to be torn open, the blood is flowing out, the body is getting more and more empty,

Looking for a place to calm down, or to vent.

"If it doesn't work, call the police."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sharp ringing of the phone in the air.

The heartbeat seemed to explode following the sound, Jiang Xun's shoulders trembled, and his eyes immediately fixed on——

What is displayed on the screen is a string of unfamiliar numbers without notes.

He answered immediately, and then heard a male voice with a changed voice,

"People are here with me."

Jiang Xun was startled, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he couldn't help but clutch the phone in his hand tightly.

　I felt my heartstrings loosen, and immediately tightened again. I wanted to track and locate at the same time, but there was no device around me that could locate the number.

He frowned, his eyes full of helplessness.

"who are you?"

"You don't need to know that!" The man said and glanced at Xue Ran,

I don't know if she is looking for death on purpose or what, but she refuses to eat, so she can only lean helplessly on the pillar behind her.

"How is she?" Jiang Xun asked in a terribly serious voice:
"How is she now?!"

"Not dead!" The man withdrew his gaze and said:

"I'll let her speak to you."

He knelt down and put the phone by Xue Ran's ear. Seeing that she was ignoring her with her eyes closed, he raised his hand and pushed her hard.
"Hey! Wake up!"

"Are you alright? Xue Ran?!" Jiang Xun growled, his voice urgent and hoarse.

Only then did Xue Ran slowly open his eyes,
She listened to the familiar voice on the other end of the phone, her thoughts were complicated, but she remained silent.

"Speak! Let you speak!!"

The man grabbed Xue Ran's collar and shook it vigorously. Seeing that the other party was staring at him with open eyes, but he didn't make a sound, he kicked his teeth and gritted his teeth in silence.

"Damn! You are sick!"

The man picked up the phone angrily and said:
"Wait, I'll take a picture for you."

"What's going on?!... Xue Ran?"

Unable to hear her voice, Jiang Xun panicked for a moment, the corners of his lips trembled uncontrollably, and saw another photo sent by the other party,
His heart tightened, and he clicked on the picture with his cold fingertips, his eyes turned red instantly,

　In the photo, the person tied to the pole is indeed Xue Ran. She has injuries on her body, blood is hanging from the corner of her lips, her hair is scattered on her forehead, and half of her face is thin and pale.
He looked at the people in the photo, and his heart hurt like a knife when he took another look.

Feeling that half of the chest was oozing blood and half was uncontrollable anger, Jiang Xun restrained his trembling voice and said:

"What did you do to her?!"

"Stop talking nonsense," the man said impatiently:
"Take money to redeem, it costs 300 million, not a dime less!"

"Okay! I will give you all the money, I just want someone! I want her to come back without any loss!"

"Oh, okay," the man thought for a while and said:

"As for the trading location... the trading location will be sent to you later, so you should prepare the money first!"

After finishing speaking, the man simply hung up the phone, and the air suddenly became quiet.

"How is it?" Bai Zinc walked over and asked anxiously:
"What did the kidnapper say?"

Jiang Xun didn't answer, his face was cold, he lowered his eyelashes, his mind was full of Xue Ran's bruises all over his body,
How dare you hurt her so much! !
Endless anger filled his brain, he clasped the corner of the table with all his fingers, and a murderous intent rose from his pitch-black pupils, violent and turbulent...
.
"300 million, is it going to be less?" The man looked greedy, and glanced sideways at Xue Ran,

"Even if you want 500 million, that guy will agree without saying a word!"

"Why don't we raise the price a bit more?" said the tattooed man behind him.

"Forget it, just take it when you see it, so you don't have to worry about it!" The man waved his hands, staring at the person with his head hanging in the corner,

"Take good care of her, don't let her die!"

Xue Ran was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to raise his eyelids. Hearing the conversation between the two, he couldn't help but sneered, thinking to himself:

You said you were looking for revenge earlier, so it turned into blackmail?

Sure enough, as she expected, these people did not sincerely want to kidnap her,

Seeking revenge from Xue Shiyan is false, but in fact he wants to test her loyalty, to see if she will betray him in a critical moment,

It is self-evident who instigated such a play with such painstaking efforts!

... She will really find trouble for her!

It seems that Xue Shiyan had explained to this group of people earlier that if she could withstand this test and did not betray him in the end, she would be released by extortion.

Xue Ran thought to himself:

Is this your plan?

I am not as good as you wish! !
.
　"Let her eat!" The man's angry voice echoed in the room,
"Who will give me 300 million if she starves to death?!"　
He picked up Xue Ran, ignoring that she was like a dead leaf, as if she was going to fall apart when touched,
"Are you courting death? Huh?!"

After a while, Xue Ran raised his eyes and glanced at him, saying:
"I want to eat meat."

"Are you a hostage or a master?!"

"I- want to eat meat!" she said, "I will eat whatever you eat."

"you!"

The man clenched his fists, looking at the person in front of him, he really wanted to choke her neck, but reason taught him to hold back,
He didn't dare to really touch her, because he didn't dare to offend Xue Shiyan.

It was because of the great importance that he had to test repeatedly. At the beginning, Xue Shiyan asked him to pretend to kidnap Xue Ran to test her loyalty to the organization and to himself, so he had to do so.
If this girl is really killed, God knows what that person will do to him, and I am afraid that the loss will not only be 300 million.

"Okay! I promise you," he gritted his teeth, let go of the other's hand, and sneered again:
"After all, your life is worth 300 million! Be careful not to torture yourself to death!!"
