Artificial petroleum technology?
Du Ruoxin swept her gaze across the dilapidated surroundings. This—
The tattooed man saw her doubt and laughed heartily, "Hey, you can't judge a book by its cover."
"You've given me the technology. Whether it can be produced or not is not Miss Du's concern."
Du Ruoxin: ...So, he has someone behind him?
Her bright eyes darted, and a hint of cunning flashed in Du Ruoxin's eyes, "I can give it to you, but I want to see Rong Jingyang first."
The tattooed man hissed, his lips crooked. He scratched his head and looked at the "waiter."
The waiter stood up, "Follow me."
Du Ruoxin was led to another room. However, the moment her front foot stepped over the threshold, someone immediately grabbed her shoulders and taped her mouth shut.
"Mmmph mmmph mmmph—"
What do you want to do?!
Let me go!
The waiter waved his hand, and several women dragged Du Ruoxin, binding her to a pillar.
Du Ruoxin's face trembled with anger, and she could only shout through ventriloquism, "What do you want?!"
"Hey, hey!"
"Let me go!"
The waiter said expressionlessly, "Miss Du, please stay here for a while."
Then he closed the door and left.
"Hey, don't go!"
Until the creaking sound of the door closing, Du Ruoxin's mind was still buzzing, a mess.
What's going on?
Didn't they want her technology? Then why did they lock her up?
She merely said she wanted to see Rong Jingyang, and not only did they refuse, but they also imprisoned her—
Wait, something seems wrong?
Du Ruoxin had a strange, eerie intuition, as if...
They were playing with her?
She: "?!"

Kristino did not fly back to Country A because Du Ruoxin was missing. He was restless, and his temper immediately ignited.
Who dared to be so reckless as to kidnap Xin'er?
He would skin them alive!
Kristino issued a deadly command to the underworld—find Du Ruoxin, leave no one alive.
At this moment, the hotel was filled with a sinister and terrifying atmosphere.
Everyone seemed to be living under the threat of death, not daring to make the slightest mistake, nor daring to show any abnormality, for fear of provoking the boss in his frenzied state with a single strike.
They didn't even dare to make a sound when they walked.
Too terrifying!
The gloom on the boss's face was comparable to the deep path to the underworld, exuding a chilling coldness.
"Zzz—"
The sudden vibration of a mobile phone broke the empty and silent presidential suite.
Kristino glanced at the screen, slid to the green button, and pressed the speakerphone.
"Master, it's been found."
"Miss was brought to Country F, at Lei's old warehouse."
Lei?
The cannon fodder in his duel with Rong Jingyang? The former electricity magnate he squeezed out of Country F? Or, one could say, a rogue.
Kristino's pupils narrowed slightly.
Threads of thoughts intertwined and lingered in his mind, then, like unraveling silk, the answer became clear—Rong Jingyang was setting a trap for him.
First, the plane's forced landing in Country E, then Du Ruoxin's abduction, and the transfer to Country F.
Lei was just an insignificant minor character, not capable of such a feat.
Besides Rong Jingyang, it could be no one else.
It's just...
What kind of trap was Rong Jingyang setting for him?
"Master?" The subordinate, who had been waiting for a long time without a response, asked fearfully, "I have gathered the men. I await your command."
Kristino smiled sinisterly, "Surround the warehouse."
"I'll be there immediately."
No matter what trap Rong Jingyang had waiting for him, he would go.
Because that person was Xin'er.
He was willing to exchange the whole world for her heart.
