Chapter 14

The night in Jianghai City is beautiful. Known as the city that never sleeps, some say that the daytime in Jianghai City is for striving, while the night is for enjoying. The city is bathed in lights.

This is a world for the wealthy. As long as you have money, you can try anything you can imagine here, which is why it is also called the City of Dreams.

"Xu Laogeo, thank you for today." In the BMW, Xia Tian said to Xu Dechuan, who was driving.

At this moment, Ye Qingsnow and Bingxin noticed Xu Dechuan driving in front. Ye Qingsnow was about to ask Xia Tian what had happened, but now she understood that everything must be related to the person driving in front.

"Don't be so formal. Where are you going next?" Old Mr. Xu smiled slightly.

"Xia Tian, what's going on? Here's your bracelet back." Ye Qingsnow knew Xia Tian had no money, and such a valuable item was likely borrowed. Although she liked the bracelet very much, she had to return it to Xia Tian.

"Aunt, this is a gift I bought for you. How can you not want it?" Xia Tian put the bracelet back on Ye Qingsnow's wrist.

"No, this is too precious. You must have borrowed it. Give it back quickly." Ye Qingsnow looked at Xia Tian worriedly. She had already been very happy today, and Xia Tian had successfully helped her fend off those suitors.

"Don't worry, I didn't borrow it. It's all mine. If you don't believe me, ask Xu Laogeo." Xia Tian said helplessly, knowing his aunt was worried about him.

"Miss Ye, the blood jade bracelet on your wrist is indeed something Xia Tian found on the antique street." Old Mr. Xu said, "The blood jade bracelet has many benefits, but wearing it like this would be a waste. After we get home, you need to feed it with three drops of your blood every month. After a year, the blood jade bracelet will merge with your blood, nourishing your body."

"Did you hear what Xu Laogeo said? Take good care of it." Xia Tian smiled, "Xu Laogeo, do you mean three drops every month?"

"Yes." Old Mr. Xu replied.

"Once a month?" Xia Tian asked again.

"Exactly." Old Mr. Xu nodded.

"Then I'm relieved. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the heart to cut Aunt's hand every time." Xia Tian sighed in relief, but the atmosphere in the car suddenly became tense.

"Are you asking for a beating again?" Ye Qingsnow, who had been a lady just now, clenched her fists and charged at Xia Tian. Xia Tian knew this was the true face of his demon aunt.

Ye Qingsnow was a pure goddess outside, but at home, she was definitely a violent queen. Xia Tian had been tortured by her many times over the years. He once thought she was a reincarnated demon, which was why he didn't dare refuse when she asked him to pretend to be her boyfriend.

"Haha, Brother Xia Tian, you're overthinking it. A woman's menstrual blood can also expel toxins from her body. If you use that blood on the bracelet, the blood jade will turn black and eventually be damaged." Old Mr. Xu laughed, having studied this topic deeply.

Hearing Old Mr. Xu's words, Ye Qingsnow's face turned red to her ears, and she glared at Xia Tian, as if saying she would deal with him later.

"Xia Tian, if you can guess the color of my underwear, I'll let Qingsnow off the hook." Bingxin suddenly said. She had always found Xia Tian mysterious and decided to test him again.

Xia Tian didn't think much about it. He had been thinking about how to deal with his aunt. When he heard Bingxin's words, his透视功能 (ESP) automatically activated, and he said without hesitation, "Pink and Pikachu."

As soon as he said it, Xia Tian regretted it. Bingxin was wearing relatively conservative clothes, and there was no way he could see the Pikachu or the pink bra.

At this moment, both Ye Qingsnow and Bingxin looked at Xia Tian strangely. Ye Qingsnow didn't understand how Xia Tian did it, while Bingxin seemed to have confirmed something and smiled mysteriously.

"Hehe, did I really guess it right?" Xia Tian laughed awkwardly and quickly explained, "It seems Sister Bingxin likes cute things."

If he didn't say that, it would raise suspicion. Although they wouldn't guess he had ESP, they might think he was a peeping tom, and he knew how terrifying his aunt could be.

"So it was a guess." Ye Qingsnow sighed in relief. She had even thought there might be something improper between Xia Tian and Bingxin, but now she felt much happier knowing it was just a guess.

Earlier, she had noticed that Bingxin's gaze on Xia Tian was different, and she even suspected there might be something going on between them. Now, thinking about it, it seemed ridiculous, as they had only met twice.

She didn't know what was wrong with her, why she felt a strange feeling towards Xia Tian, even though he was her cousin.

"Was it really a guess?" Bingxin smiled inwardly. She didn't believe Xia Tian had guessed it. She had checked before, and this time was no different. Xia Tian couldn't have seen it, but he was right.

This made Bingxin even more curious about Xia Tian.

Xia Tian, feeling guilty, kept his eyes wandering outside the window. At this moment, he saw something in another car, and his ESP automatically activated. When he saw the people inside, he was slightly stunned. It was Xia Ruo and her daughter, who were being held hostage by four men in black, each with a gun.

"She treated me so badly last time, let her fend for herself." Xia Tian thought of the hospital.

"No, the child is innocent." After a moment of internal struggle, Xia Tian's eyes shone with determination. He then shouted to Old Mr. Xu, "Xu Laogeo, turn around and chase the van with the license plate 542b."

Old Mr. Xu, a seasoned veteran, immediately found the nearest intersection to turn around, ignoring the red light. He could hear the urgency in Xia Tian's voice.

"Xia Tian, what happened?" Ye Qingsnow looked at Xia Tian, puzzled. Xia Tian's expression was very serious.

"Xu Laogeo, when we catch up to that car, take them to a safe place." Xia Tian didn't explain but said to Old Mr. Xu.

"Should I call for some people?" Xu Dechuan asked.

"It's too late. One person is better for a quick escape." Xia Tian's brows were furrowed.

Although Ye Qingsnow didn't know what was happening, she guessed it was dangerous. "No, you can't go."

Xia Tian was also unsure. Although his body had become stronger, he wasn't a martial arts expert. The other side had four people, each with a gun. If it came to a direct confrontation, his chances of winning were zero. No matter how strong his body was, he couldn't withstand a bullet, and no matter how fast he was, he couldn't be faster than a bullet.

But he couldn't stand by and watch that cute little girl be killed. Although he didn't like Zeng Ruo's domineering nature, they didn't have any major grudges.

"I have a better chance alone. If you come, we'll all die." Xia Tian looked at Ye Qingsnow seriously. "Xu Laogeo, call the police and say that Zeng Ruo and her daughter from the Zeng Group have been kidnapped."

"What?" They finally understood why Xia Tian was so anxious.

Zeng Ruo was a well-known figure in Jianghai City, an idol to all women. At thirty, she had built the Zeng Group into an unbreakable business empire. Although it couldn't compare to the four major families in Jianghai City, she was still a top figure in the business world.

"Xu Laogeo, use a public phone to make an anonymous call." Xia Tian didn't want to cause trouble. Even if he saved Zeng Ruo and her daughter, he didn't want the police to know.

"It's too dangerous. I don't agree with you going." Ye Qingsnow, understanding the severity of the situation, was even more unwilling for Xia Tian to go.

"Aunt, trust me." Xia Tian hugged Ye Qingsnow, who was stunned. This embrace was the warmest she had ever felt, and she wished Xia Tian wasn't her cousin.

Meanwhile, in the van with the license plate 542b.

Zeng Ruo felt extremely panicked. She didn't know these people. They had kidnapped her and her daughter when she brought her out to play. Her daughter was her spiritual pillar, and she was most afraid of anything happening to her.

For years, she had been seen as a strong woman, but only she knew how hard it had been. She pretended to be strong in front of others, not wanting to show her vulnerable side.

When she and her daughter were captured, she felt despair. No one would come to save her. The old people in her family wished she would die soon so they could divide the property, and no one truly cared about her.

She wasn't afraid of death. Perhaps death would be a relief for her, but she couldn't die. She still had her daughter. If she died, her daughter would become an orphan, vulnerable to anyone's abuse.

"Who are you? I'll give you money, please let us go." In Zeng Ruo's eyes, everything could be solved with money. These people had no use for her and her daughter, and she could give them money. She didn't believe there was anyone in the world who didn't like money.

At this thought, she suddenly remembered the strange man in the hospital.

"Maybe he's the only one who doesn't like money." Zeng Ruo didn't know why she thought of this man, shook her head, and returned to reality.

"Mrs. Zeng, we know you are very rich. We will definitely take your money, but before that, we have some things to do." One of the men in black scanned Zeng Ruo with a greedy look, not hiding his lust.
