On the mountain, Shuyang was taken to the mountain by the driver. After waking up again, Shuyang felt sore all over her body, and the coldness made her shiver a few times.

The taxi driver did not lock her up. There was nothing like a shabby house on her body that could withstand the heavy rain.

The gangster just put up a simple awning and tied her to a tree.

She was forced to sit at the root of the tree and was tied tightly to the root with a rope.

The mountain road washed away by the rain was full of mud, and her whole body was soaked to the skin.

Being at a high place and being hit by the strong wind and rain, she sneezed several times.

She wanted to break away, but she couldn't.

The gangster on the side was wrapped up tightly in a raincoat. He looked at Shuyang mockingly, "I advise you not to waste your efforts."

He slowly walked up to Shuyang and knelt down, took out a cold dagger and slapped Shuyang's face twice, "Do you know what a hanging knot is?"

Shuyang didn't answer and still wanted to break free.

"It seems you really don't know. Stop struggling. Haven't you noticed that the more you struggle, the tighter the rope becomes? In the end, I'm afraid you will strangle yourself to death."

Shuyang's heart was shaken, but he didn't dare to move at all.

Although the awning covered her head, she couldn't be completely under the awning because it was tied to the tree, and the part of her back that was close to the roots of the tree was already soaked.

She felt colder than ever before, "What on earth do you want to do?"

"Don't you know what I want to do? Didn't you hear clearly what I just said? Stop pretending to be stupid."

Shuyang continued to speak expressionlessly, "I mean, besides money, what do you want?"

The gangster smiled playfully, because his teeth were covered with yellow spots from years of smoking, and he could even see the stones left behind by years of chewing food and not cleaning them.

He was very close to Shuyang, and the smell emanating between his open and closed mouth was disgusting.

Shuyang resisted and did not spit it out. The most sensitive thing for this kind of lingering villain is probably the disgust of others.

The hand holding the dagger slowly fell down, inserted the dagger into the ground, and then raised his hand to touch her cheek.

A chill ran through Shuyang's heart, and she stared at the gangster in disbelief, "How dare you!"

"What are you afraid of?" The man suddenly laughed, and his serious vulgarity became even stronger.

"Don't you dare! I advise you to think carefully. If you dare to touch me, I will kill you immediately and I guarantee that you won't get a penny." Shuyang's eyes were firm and she swore that what she said was not false.

The gangster suddenly grabbed her chin and raised it fiercely, "Do you really think I don't dare?"

That handsome face, but a pair of eyes full of determination.

He turned Shuyang's face aside, "If it weren't for money, do you think I would tolerate you?"

Of course, it wasn't all about money, he still remembered the man's instructions.

Bai Xiuning has been restless after get off work. She is sitting in the living room, holding her mobile phone tightly in her hand.

There was a strong wind and heavy rain outside, and she knew that Shuyang had been taken to the mountains at this moment.

She wasn't sure whether Shu Mian would give the money, but she had no other choice.

She couldn't afford the compensation, so she had no choice but to listen to Wen Zhan's words.

The door was kicked open violently, and the loud sound made her tremble. She looked at the person coming with fear, and it turned out to be Shu Mian.

At this moment, his body was soaked by the rain, and his eyes were filled with cold light.

Bai Xiuning forced herself to calm down, "Cousin, cousin, you are back. I, I will get you a cup of hot water."

She hurriedly picked up the cup on the table and was about to go to the kitchen. As soon as she turned around, her wrist was grabbed.

"Cousin, you..."

"Where is she?" Shu Mian squeezed Bai Xiuning's wrist so hard that it turned white.

Bai Xiuning tried to pull her wrist away from his hand in pain, "Cousin! I don't know what you are talking about.

Huh? Who is she?"

"Don't pretend to be stupid. I know you did this. I didn't care about you when I stole the plan to the Wen family. You made such a big mistake. Do you think the Shu family will let you go?"

Tell me what you did quickly before I completely lose my mind." Shu Mian's eyes were cold.

It was the first time Bai Xiuning saw Shu Mian with this look in his eyes. Before that, she had never seen Shu Mian with such a terrifying look.

She shivered and retreated, "Cousin, it hurts so much. Let me go. I really don't know what you are talking about."

"Amian, what are you doing?"

A deafening thunder woke Shu Mian, and under the dazzling lightning, he saw his mother's arrival.

She walked over quickly and separated their hands. Bai Xiuning immediately shrank behind Aunt Shu, "Aunt, please save me, my cousin must be crazy!"

"Mom, don't stop me. I have something to ask her."

"If you want to ask her, just speak nicely. I'm here. Just ask." Aunt Shu protected Bai Xiuning behind her.

Shu Mian was no longer hiding anything. He said coldly: "It was Bai Xiuning who stole the company's design drawings and gave it to Wen. I didn't tell anyone else about it. But today, Yangyang was arrested on the way back from get off work. Robbed, the gangster called me half an hour ago and demanded 300 million."

He looked at Bai Xiuning again, "Is this your handiwork?"

"Cousin! It's really not me. Why should I do what I did? Even if I really wanted to hurt her, why would I ask you for money? You are my cousin and I have always respected you. How could I harm you?"

Bai Xiuning said in panic.

Aunt Shu nodded in agreement, "Amian, Xiu Ning is right. She wants to grow up with you and will definitely not do such a thing to hurt you, not to mention she is working in the company now."

"Oh, Bai Xiuning, do you really think I don't know? After the last recording incident was exposed, Wen Zhan came to find you, right? If I guessed it right, the price you paid was compensation, or did you do something for her?

"Shu Mian looked at Bai Xiuning as if he were looking at a fool.

Bai Xiuning never expected that Shu Mian would guess everything, but her meeting with Wen Zhan was very hidden, so how did he know?

"Why did I place you in a branch instead of in the headquarters? Do you really think I'm just keeping you away from me?" What Shu Mian didn't say was that when he arranged for Bai Xiuning to join the branch, he had already arranged for the two of them.

In between is Bai Xiuning's every move.

Coincidentally, they heard everything Bai Xiuning said in the bathroom that day.

Bai Xiuning looked pale, but how could she admit it?
