Lily Xie was too scared. Her face was filled with streaks of tears and snot running from her nose.
"Don't be afraid. Hand the phone to that person now! I'll figure out a way to save you from this."
Lily Xie heard what Linda had said, so she wiped the tears off her face and tried to calm herself down. Then, she passed the phone on to the man who kidnapped her.
"Who are you?" Linda asked.
"You don't need to know that, Lady Linda. How about giving me two million to save her? I'm sure that two million is just chump change for you and Young Master Mu, and you'd better give them to me if you want to save this girl."
"You want to get two million from me? I don't even know who you are, so what makes you think that is possible? I'm telling you that Derek also owes me millions, and I'm looking for him, too. So why should I care about his daughter when he might be hiding somewhere, enjoying his life?"
"... Well... Aren't you his niece?"
"Yes, I am. But we are not that close, and I'm not up for doing charities here."
The man on the phone fell silent.
After a long time, the man sighed and said, "Well, if that's the case, I would not hide my identity from you, Lady Linda. I'm actually a project director of Dream Company. You could call me Wang. I had a project before, and I had wanted to cooperate with the Mu Group with it, but I can't find a way to get myself introduced. Then, Derek came to me, and he said that the Lady of the Mu clan was his niece. He also said that he could connect me with the Mu Group, so I believed him..."
"So you believed him and gave him two million?"
"He was very convincing. He showed me some contract details from the Mu Group and some photos. You two really seemed close in the photo!"
Was he stupid or what? Linda shook her head helplessly. It was really hard to believe that there was someone would trust Derek and would even give him two million.
What kind of project director was this man? A shit head. That's what.
"All right, so how about this? I will help you get back the two million. But now, you have to tell me where you are. I'm coming to pick up Lily Xie. Also, do you still have the contract details and the photos Derek showed you?"
"Yes, I do."
"Okay, prepare them. I want to see them."
The man hesitated for a while, but he thought that Linda would not lie to him with helping him get back the two million.
"I'm in an abandoned apartment building. The address is 103 West Suburb Factory."
Linda was worried about the location; it was too remote. What if it was another set-up?
"How about this? You drive Lily Xie to the Xia's villa here, and let's talk here."
"Okay, no problem."
After hanging up the phone, the only thing they could do was to wait. Then, Paul texted the address of the Xia's villa to them.
Fortunately, the kidnappers only wanted to get their money back and did not want to cause any physical harm to Lily Xie. Maybe even their threat of selling Lily Xie to a nightclub to work as a prostitute was trying to intimidate her and see whether she really had no idea of her father's whereabouts...
About an hour later, the servant came inside the house to tell everyone that there were four men at the door with a young girl whose hands were tied behind her.
