"Ah!"
No!
She didn't want to die!
At this moment, Ivy finally realized with terror that these kidnappers were serious about killing her.
Seeing her finally behave, Masked Man B spat and cursed, "You think I'm doing charity if I don't show you some color?"
As a hostage, you should have the awareness of a hostage; don't dream of having an easy time.
Ivy trembled with fear from the kidnappers' words, her face pale, and she no longer dared to act rashly.
Who are they?
What do they want?
It's definitely not for money, because from the moment she woke up until now, the kidnappers haven't mentioned money at all.
If not for money, then what could it be for?
Ivy racked her brain, and only one word came to mind—revenge.
Who does she have a grudge against...
Du Ruoxin!
Apart from Du Ruoxin, Ivy couldn't think of anyone else who hated her to the bone and wished she would disappear forever.
So, were these two men sent by Du Ruoxin to kill her?
Thinking of the harsh words Du Ruoxin said when they parted on bad terms yesterday, a chill ran through Ivy's mind.
No!
She didn't want to die so inexplicably!
She wanted to save herself!
Late at night, as the hazy moonlight shone upon the earth, the sounds of cicadas, crickets, and various small animals converged, adding a touch of sinister charm and fear to the night.
Ivy hadn't slept. She had been unconscious for a full day and night, and her spirits were high now.
Listening to the steady breathing of the two men outside the wall, her thoughts surged, her mind spinning again and again.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind like a spark.
Ivy's eyes lit up!
Yes!
That's right!
It must be like that!
She had to seize the opportunity, she had to make good use of it! All her nerves suddenly became exceptionally excited!
Ivy wriggled her body. Having practiced dance since childhood, her ligaments were excellent. She easily shifted the hands tied behind her back to the front.
She was overjoyed, thinking she could untie herself, but—
Seeing the endless knots, Ivy despaired. Damn it! Who could untie such messy and complicated knots!
Needless to say, her feet were the same.
She wasn't a knot-tying expert, nor had she played related games or challenges. Instead of wasting time untying the ropes, she decided to think of other ways.
Ivy gently rolled to the door, not daring to make the slightest noise. Because the moonlight shone in, she could clearly see the scene inside the dilapidated house.
The charcoal fire was still burning, but the meat and vegetables were all eaten.
Wine bottles were also scattered on the floor.
Suddenly, Ivy's eyes shone brightly, because she saw one of the kidnappers' mobile phones placed on a stool, being charged by a power bank!
"Great!"
"This is an opportunity!"
Ivy crawled inch by inch under the stool, not daring to make a sound, for fear of waking the kidnappers and suffering herself.
Fortunately, the two of them were sleeping soundly.
Ivy reached out to grab the phone, but her hands dangled for a long time without reaching it.
Her—
The rope tied around her feet wasn't long enough and had reached its limit.
What to do? It was still a little distance away...
If she couldn't get the phone, she wouldn't be able to call the police or escape.
She didn't know what violence awaited her tomorrow!
Imagining the possible encounters, Ivy's eyes turned red with urgency, and just as tears were about to fall, a wine bottle that appeared in her sight suddenly invigorated her.
There was a way!
Ivy picked up the wine bottle to reach for the phone. The distance was just right; the bottle's mouth could touch the charging cable.
"Hoo—"
Holding her breath, she tried several times and finally, without incident, retrieved it.
Ivy breathed a sigh of relief, quickly pressed the mute button, and rolled back into the dilapidated room where she was held.
Just as she was excitedly about to call Rong Jingyang, the screen displayed face unlock, fingerprint unlock, and password unlock.
Ivy: "!!!!!"
Damn it!
She knew nothing, how could she unlock it!
But at the same time, a "Emergency Call" touch button in the lower left corner of the screen caught her eye.
Ivy tapped it: "110", "120", "119"—three large, callable buttons appeared before her.
