Happened to love a naughty girl

Twelve years later, Tongcheng.

In an abandoned, dimly lit warehouse, the air was thick with a pungent stench.

With his hands tied behind, Mi Shen sat quietly, watching the decrepit old television set opposite him, which was broadcasting a news report—

"The fifth young miss of the Li Family, Mi Shen, has been kidnapped by bandits. It has been twenty-four hours, and Li Fengchang, the fourth young master, has refused the Supervisor's assistance and is currently holding a meeting within the T.R. Group. As for how to rescue the fifth young miss, the fourth young master has not made any public response..."

"Crash"—

The television was turned off, and the female host's voice abruptly stopped. Someone also yanked Mi Shen's hair.

"Are you really the fifth young miss of the Li Family or not?!"

In front of him was a middle-aged man so emaciated he was practically skin and bones, around forty years old, with vicious eyes, "Even at a time like this, he's still got the nerve to hold meetings? Does he really not care at all about whether you live or die?"

Mi Shen could not help but crack a helpless smile. "Big brother, you actually nailed it—Li Fengchang really doesn't!"

The two men who kidnapped him were probably from out of town, right? Almost everyone knew it, yet these two seemed utterly unaware and even asked such a foolish question.

"Cut the crap and get her to call Li Fengchang!" Another kidnapper tossed over an old cell phone.

Kidnapper A: "Phone number!"

Truth be told, these two kidnappers were really out of luck, having kidnapped Mi Shen for twenty-four hours but still unable to get Li Fengchang's number out of him.

Mi Shen's eyes darted around, knowing that if he kept stalling, he might anger the two men.

A cornered dog would leap over a wall, let alone a person? He definitely didn't want to lose his life for nothing.

"Hold on, let me think..." He obediently recounted the number and Kidnapper A, pleasantly surprised, brought the phone to his ear, ordering, "Call him to rescue you!"

"Beep—Beep—Beep—"

The phone rang many times before someone leisurely picked up.

From the other end came a deep, magnetic male voice: "Hello?"

"Fengchang—" Mi Shen wailed plaintively, but there wasn't a trace of fear or dread in his voice; instead, it carried a touch of laziness, "Oh, did you water the flower on the balcony for me? I forgot to bring it inside, and with the sun so strong today, I wonder if it will get sunburned... Also, my socks are on the balcony. Did you bring them in for me? I don't want them blown away by the wind; I just bought them the other day... And Daxiong, have you fed him? You absolutely can't let my baby go hungry..."

Mi Shen spoke cheerfully, when suddenly a chill ran down his neck. Kidnapper A was holding a sharp fruit knife, pressing it against his throat.

"Get to the point!"

Mi Shen saw that Kidnapper A's temples were bulging with veins, pulsing as if his sanity was teetering on the edge.

They had thought kidnapping Mi Shen would bring them a big payoff, but now everything had gone awry. Li Fengchang seemed to have no concern for the girl's life and death, and the Li Family remained undisturbed. Now they were like bandits who had ascended to Mount Liang and couldn't come down!

"Oh, sure." Mi Shen hastily agreed, then generously reminded, "Big brother, could you please move the knife to the side a little? If you accidentally cut me, it would diminish my value, haha."

Kidnapper A's expression flickered for a moment, and he really pulled the knife back a bit, but his gaze remained ferocious as he stared at Mi Shen, "Speak up! Don't play any tricks!"

Mi Shen thought to himself: With such low IQs, they try to be kidnappers; if I wanted to play tricks, I could have spun you both around already.

But that was only an internal sneer; on the surface, he wore a sycophantic grin and said into the phone, "Fengchang, could you come rescue me after you're done with your meeting?"

"You..." Kidnapper A was about to blow his top with rage.

Yet Mi Shen raised his innocent face: "The line got disconnected!"

Kidnapper A: "..."

Kidnapper B couldn't sit still any longer and rushed over, shoving Kidnapper A aside, and harshly pinched Mi Shen's cheek, "You've got the last thirty minutes. If Li Fengchang doesn't come by then, I'll end your life with one stroke of the knife."
