Chapter 25

The unfinished building on Zhongbei Road is the largest unfinished building in Jiangzhou.

Years ago, a large real estate company spent a fortune to buy this land, boasting that they would build the tallest building in Jiangzhou. However, when the construction was halfway through, the real estate company went bankrupt, and the boss fled, leaving the largest unfinished project in Jiangzhou City.

Over the years, the municipal government has been trying to find another company to take over the project, but due to various reasons, none of the attempts have been successful.

This unfinished building has been left standing there ever since.

Although the building somewhat tarnishes the city's image, it has become a good place for homeless people and beggars, as they can stay there without worrying about rain or sun.

Early this morning.

A group of unwelcome guests suddenly appeared inside the unfinished building, each one looking fierce and wielding sticks, beating anyone they saw and driving all the beggars and homeless people out of the building.

At this moment, on the ground floor of the unfinished building, a dozen men stood in a row, each holding a stick, as if waiting for something.

Not far away, two people were chatting.

One of them was Guo Shaocong.

Guo Shaocong was sitting in a wheelchair, his body wrapped in bandages, only his face exposed, looking like a mummy.

"Guo Shao, it's almost fifteen minutes. Will that guy come?" The speaker was a middle-aged man in his forties with a crew cut and a terrifying scar on his left cheek.

"He will come. With this old woman in my hands, he dares not not come." Guo Shaocong was confident.

The scar-faced man glanced at the unconscious Qian Jinglan, a sinister light flashing in his eyes, and said, "Guo Shao, can we talk about something?"

"What is it?" Guo Shaocong stared cautiously at the scar-faced man and asked, "You're not trying to raise the price, are you? I told you, we agreed on one million yuan to get rid of Ye Qiu, not a cent more."

"What are you talking about, Guo Shao? Am I the kind of person who doesn't keep my word? We agreed on one million yuan, and I won't ask for a cent more once the job is done," the scar-faced man said.

Guo Shaocong was puzzled and asked, "Then what do you want to talk about?"

"Actually, I want to ask you, after we deal with that guy, can you leave her to me?" Lei Hu pointed at the unconscious Qian Jinglan.

Guo Shaocong was even more puzzled, "Brother Lei, what do you want with this old woman?"

Lei Hu chuckled and said, "I have a special taste. I'm not interested in young and beautiful girls; I'm more interested in women of this age."

Guo Shaocong felt a wave of disgust and thought, "This is too much!"

"How about it, Guo Shao? After we get rid of that guy, can you give me this woman?" Lei Hu said, "If you give me this woman, I can reduce the price by ten thousand, so you only need to give me ninety thousand."

"Still, I'll give you one million after the job is done, and I'll give you this woman."

"Thank you, Guo Shao."

"But I have to remind you, after you're done with her, get rid of her to avoid any trouble."

"Sure thing." Lei Hu smiled broadly.

"What is this place?" At this moment, Qian Jinglan slowly opened her eyes, still not fully awake.

She remembered going downstairs to buy groceries, but as soon as she got downstairs, she was grabbed by two people and thrown into a van, and then...

"This is a good place," Lei Hu suddenly leaned in close to Qian Jinglan and said.

"Ah!" Qian Jinglan was frightened by Lei Hu's scar and asked in alarm, "Who are you? What do you want?"

"Don't be afraid, it's safe here. As long as you listen to me, everything will be fine soon," Lei Hu chuckled.

"Who are you?" Qian Jinglan asked sternly.

Seeing the dozen men with sticks, she sensed that her situation was very dire.

"Old woman, don't you recognize me?" Guo Shaocong turned his head and looked at Qian Jinglan coldly.

"Doctor Guo? Why is it you? Why are you here?" Qian Jinglan was very surprised.

"Why am I here? Hahaha, that's a good question. Let me tell you the truth, I'm waiting for your precious son."

"Waiting for Ye Qiu? Doctor Guo, why are you waiting for Ye Qiu?" Qian Jinglan was momentarily confused.

"You'll know soon enough." A fierce light appeared in Guo Shaocong's eyes.

Qian Jinglan realized something was wrong and struggled, shouting, "Let me go, or I'll call the police."

"Call the police?" Guo Shaocong sneered, "Do you think you have a chance to call the police in your current state?"

Qian Jinglan's hands and feet were tied with ropes; she couldn't even stand, let alone call the police.

"You're kidnapping me, which is a crime, do you know that?" Qian Jinglan said sternly.

"Of course, I know. If it weren't a crime, I wouldn't do it," Lei Hu laughed.

Qian Jinglan's heart sank. She finally understood that Guo Shaocong had come to take revenge.

"Doctor Guo, it was Ye Qiu's fault for hitting you. I apologize to you. Please don't make things difficult for Ye Qiu. I can compensate, Doctor Guo..."

"Compensation? Indeed, compensation is needed." Guo Shaocong said fiercely, "Ye Qiu crippled me last time. Today, I will use his life to compensate."

Qian Jinglan's face turned pale, and she hurriedly said, "Doctor Guo, don't hurt Ye Qiu, I beg you..."

"Don't waste your breath. You're in no position to bargain." Lei Hu walked up to Qian Jinglan and stared at her intently.

"What, what do you want?" Qian Jinglan asked in fear.

"I didn't notice before, but just now, I saw that you're actually quite pretty. With a little makeup, you could be a real beauty. I can hardly resist." Lei Hu laughed and reached out to touch Qian Jinglan's leg.

"Don't touch me." Qian Jinglan screamed, struggling to pull away, and shouted, "If you dare touch me, you'll die a terrible death."

"Hahaha, today, it won't be me who dies, but your son. If you don't listen, you'll die too."

As he spoke, Lei Hu suddenly grabbed Qian Jinglan's chin and said with a sinister smile, "I advise you to be obedient. As long as you listen, after we deal with your son, I can have some fun with you."

"Get away!" In a fit of anger, Qian Jinglan used her head to push Lei Hu away.

Lei Hu, caught off guard, fell to the ground and instantly became furious. He got up and slapped Qian Jinglan hard, cursing, "You bitch, you dare to resist? Do you want to die?"

Lei Hu then grabbed Qian Jinglan's hair and said viciously, "After I kill your son, I'll deal with you."

At that moment, Ye Qiu appeared at the door.
