Tang Mei screamed in fear immediately.
Mei Shu reacted swiftly, pushing the person aside forcefully. The tip of the knife swiftly passed between them, and the iron door was kicked open from the inside.
Tang Mei, her face pale with fear, stood frozen, forgetting even her instinct to evade.
Mei Shu, worried about her getting hurt, pulled her behind him. The tip of the knife pressed tightly against her neck, just an inch away.
“Miss Mei, nice to meet you. I’ve heard a lot about you,” the curly-haired man who opened the door said. Behind him were three or four burly men holding long knives.
Mei Shu said, “Heard a lot about me? Seems like you came for me. So, what are your intentions?”
The curly-haired man burst into laughter. “Miss Mei indeed lives up to her reputation. You’re quite beautiful. We brothers have never seen a girl as pretty as you! Now, besides this money, you and the woman with you need to stay here before that guy can be released.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the curly-haired man stepped aside slightly, revealing the spacious factory behind him.
In the center, a teenager in torn jeans, barely coming of age, was tied to a chair.
The moment Tang Mei saw him, her pupils dilated, and she instinctively cried out, “Xiao Long!”
Tang Long also cried out, “Sis! Save me, sis, they’re going to kill me! Get me out of here!”
Tang Mei, anxious, looked at Mei Shu, who had a knife pressed against her neck. She bit her lip and, once again, let go. While no one was reacting, she mustered all her strength and grabbed Mei Shu’s hand, swapping their positions.
“If you’re here to kill or harm me, don’t involve President Mei, and don’t hurt my brother!” Tang Mei stood firm in front of Mei Shu, facing the thugs.
“Wow, didn’t expect you to be so loyal,” the curly-haired man sneered, looking her up and down. “Nice figure, good demeanor. Though not extraordinarily beautiful, you can still fetch a good price. How about this? Since you two siblings are so close, why don’t you take your brother’s place as the hostage??”
Tang Mei swallowed hard, her trembling arm blocking Mei Shu. “What do you want me to do?”
“What men want women to do, isn’t it obvious?”
The curly-haired man’s words immediately elicited a burst of laughter from the men around him.
Tang Mei’s face turned even paler, but she stubbornly stood between Mei Shu and the thugs. “Fine, but you have to release my brother first before I can trust you!”
“Do you think you have the qualifications to negotiate with me?” The curly-haired man scoffed. “With just you, I could take on ten of you alone. Do you still want to negotiate terms with me?”
Tang Mei took a deep breath, steadying herself, trying to keep her voice from trembling. “But a willing slave is more valuable than a disobedient one.”
The curly-haired man was moved by her words. He wiped the smirk off his face and, somewhat bewildered, asked while holding the knife, “Are you really willing to exchange yourself for your brother? Won’t you regret it?”
“No regrets,” Tang Mei said firmly.
After a long silence, the curly-haired man turned back, mocking as he looked at Tang Long, “I just wonder if your brother is worth it.”
“It doesn’t matter what he thinks. He’s my only brother, and I won’t give up on him.” Tang Mei remained stubborn. “As long as you release my brother and President Mei Shu, I’m willing to do anything you ask.”
The men looked at each other, evidently not expecting this level of cooperation from the woman. It was completely different from the resistance they had anticipated.
The curly-haired man, as if losing interest in teasing his prey, handed a piece of hemp rope to Tang Mei with a bored expression. “In that case, you better behave yourself. Let my brothers tie you up obediently. As long as you’re willing to come with us, I’ll ensure your brother’s safety. After all, I’ve taken your money and now I’ve got you. It doesn’t make sense to keep a disobedient little brat here to continue being a nuisance.”
“You’d better keep your word.” Tang Mei’s words were firm, and as soon as she finished speaking, she willingly extended her hands, allowing the two men to tightly bind them together.
Mei Shu had remained motionless all this while, not out of fear or to test Tang Mei, but because she could hear another person’s increasingly rapid breathing from deep within the factory.
She wanted to lure the snake out of its hole.
The curly-haired man, seeing Tang Mei being so cooperative from start to finish, shrugged helplessly. “Alright, 1 admit you’re the most obedient and proactive ‘commodity’ I’ve ever seen. But I still have to apologize to you. I can’t agree to your conditions because my boss wants the life of your boss.”
“What did you say?” Tang Mei hadn’t expected these people to actually be after Mei Shu!
She exclaimed in shock, only to see the other men picking up their knives and menacing Mei Shu.
She wanted to rush up to help, but her shoulder was forcefully held back by the curly-haired man.
“Behave yourself.” The curly-haired man warned coldly. “Considering your cooperation just now, I don’t want to make things difficult for you.. But if you don’t behave, I can’t guarantee what you’ll experience tonight!”
