Before she lost consciousness, Lin Manyi saw her father make a phone call, and soon two burly men came in and carried her into the car.

In the luxury car at the entrance of the alley, Huo Xixi heard the assistant tell him what happened, and then saw two men carrying the unconscious Lin Manyi out.

Xiao Hao, the driver and assistant, said, "Second Miss, should we still take care of this matter?"

Huo Xixi felt that this matter was a bit tricky. "Go and find out who took Lin Manyi away, and then I'll think about what to do."

Lin Manyi was taken to the basement of a bar. When she woke up, she was wearing a revealing halter dress, with three girls sitting or standing beside her.

Seeing her wake up, one of the girls asked, "Were you kidnapped as well?"

Lin Manyi sat up. "What is this place?"

"This is Brother Kai's territory. Brother Kai, you know it, right? If you don't make enough money here, don't even think about leaving." said an older sister.

"How long have you been here?"

Sister Qin pointed at the people in the room and introduced them. "Her name is Yuehan. She was abducted when she was a teenager and has been working here for seven or eight years. This one is Xiaomei. She was sold here by her fiancé and has been here for more than a year. I came here on my own and have been here for almost five years."

Lin Manyi was surprised, "Why did you come here by yourself?"

"My husband owed Kai Ge money, and then he died. Kai Ge came to me. I was an orphan and a widow at the time, and I was afraid that he would harm my son, so I took the initiative to offer to earn money for him here. Then he promised to give my son a living allowance every month until he turned 18. By then, I would be too old and ugly to do it anymore."

"So how old is your son this year?"

"twelve."

"What are you doing here?" Lin Manyi asked.

"Accompanying drinking, playing, and sleeping. It depends on your own wishes. Brother Kai will not force you. Because sleeping with others can make more money, I am the one who sleeps with others. The two of them only accompany drinking."

Lin Manyi glanced at Yue Han, who was silent in the corner, and found that she had a bracelet on her wrist, while no one else had one.

Sister Qin lowered her voice and said, "Yuehan is skilled in martial arts, and the people here are afraid that she will escape, so they put a bracelet on her."

Lin Manyi nodded slightly. Among the three people, only Yue Han had not said a word since she woke up. Her silence was frightening. And she was also the most iconic girl among the three. It was a pity that she was brought to such a place.

At this time, the door opened and a man with a mustache and handsome features walked in, followed by two bodyguards.

"You are Lin Fu's daughter? You are indeed a beauty." Wu Kai stroked his mustache, "Do you know what I asked you to do?"

Lin Manyi looked at Wu Kai and found that he was not what she had imagined. She thought Wu Kai would be a wretched little gangster, but she didn't expect that he was three parts elegant and seven parts wild. Not only did he not look like a bad guy, he also had some righteousness.

"How much money do you want to let me go?" Lin Manyi asked.

Wu Kai was slightly stunned. "Want to negotiate terms with me?"

"Can't you?"

"Okay." Wu Kai held up five fingers. "I want this amount. I'll let him go when I get the money."

"Five million?"

"You must be joking. That's your brother's price. If it were you, it would be five million, and it has to be in US dollars."

Lin Manyi's expression was stern. "You are really asking for too much."

Wu Kai smiled jokingly, "This is my territory. If you want to negotiate with me, of course you have to listen to me."

"Aren't you afraid that I'll call the police?"

"Call the police?" Wu Kai felt as if he had heard a huge joke. "You are all here to pay off your debts. You chose the project yourself and signed the agreement. What can the police do to me? You should think about your family. There are so many gunshots and shootings in Manhattan every day, and there are many homeless people who will do anything for money. The police can't handle it at all."

Lin Manyi felt that she was naive. To be able to become a big brother in this area, Wu Kai must have extraordinary means and connections. It seemed that she had no choice but to compromise.

So Lin Manyi suggested calling a friend and asking that friend to redeem her.

Wu Kai handed Lin Manyi's cell phone to her. He didn't seem afraid at all that she would call the police.

Lin Manyi called Huo Xixi and told her that she agreed to her conditions, hoping that Huo Xixi could send someone to bring money to redeem her.

However, Huo Xixi did not agree to her immediately, but said that he would think about it and give her an answer tomorrow.

"How is it? Can your friend come to redeem you?" Wu Kai took Lin Manyi's phone back.

"She said she would give me an answer tomorrow." Lin Manyi felt uneasy and regretted not agreeing to Huo Xixi earlier.

On the other side, Huo Xixi was sitting in the office. She inherited Lu Qingqing's fund company. With her clever mind, she is now worth over 10 billion.

"Second Miss, don't you want to save Lin Manyi?" The assistant was a little confused about Huo Xixi's thoughts. In fact, he never understood them. Huo Xixi looked enthusiastic, flamboyant and heartless on the surface, but in fact, apart from Sheng Kaiqi, she was the most meticulous person in the Sheng family.

"Now that you know where she is, there's no need to worry. Send a message to Wu Kai and tell him what I said. Ask him not to touch Lin Manyi for the time being. I want to see if she is the one I want."

"The Second Miss has taken a fancy to her?"

Huo Xixi smiled slightly, "Although Lin Manyi is not from a high family, she is very opinionated and knows how to behave. I need someone like her right now."

Huo Xixi has always had an accurate eye for people.

And she had another consideration in her mind at this time. Although she had a good relationship with her eldest brother Sheng Kaiqi now, the situation might be different if she married his sister-in-law in the future.

So she wanted to find a suitable person to be her sister-in-law, and except for her humble background, Lin Manyi was pretty good in other aspects.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

After the assistant left, Huo Xixi received a call. She frowned when she saw the caller ID, but still picked up the phone.

"what's up?"

A dissatisfied voice came from the other end of the phone, "Why didn't you reply to my message?"

"I didn't see it. What's the matter?" Huo Xixi was extremely impatient.

"Today is my birthday, you won't forget it, right? You promised to come and celebrate my birthday. It's six o'clock in the evening, at Caesar Hotel, don't be late." Gong Zhenyu said.

Huo Xixi then remembered what she had promised Gong Zhenyu, "I'll try my best. What gift do you want?"

"It's enough that you're here. Gifts don't matter." Gong Zhenyu said flatteringly.

"Okay then. I'll try to find time to go over there." After saying that, she hung up the phone without waiting for Gong Zhenyu to say anything else.

Recently, Gong Zhenyu has been bombarded with flowers, phone calls, and text messages all the time. She is so annoyed. If it weren't for her third uncle and Aunt Du, she would have blocked this devil who is nearly four years younger than her.

In the evening, Huo Xixi came to the hotel with gifts. Huo Yifei and Du Yiyi were already there. Today was the birthday of Gong Zhenyu, the great-grandson of the old shipping tycoon. All the people who came to congratulate him were well-known figures.

Now Du Yiyi's career is flourishing, but the Gong family's industry is shrinking. The elders of the Gong family have enriched themselves and are about to destroy the foundation laid by the old ship king. They don't intend to bear the crime of bankrupting the company, so they plan to let Gong Zhenyu take over the Gong family's Baili Shipping Company after his 23rd birthday.

Gong Zhenyu has brought the word "dandy" to full play in recent years, even better than his father Gong Xu in the past. This makes the old guys in Baili Shipping even more relieved. Someone like him who is unlearned and unskilled is just right for them to serve as a puppet.
