Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 100 Shooting yourself in the foot
Nan Wu had prepared this whole story long ago, and she began her performance: "Dad, this is all your fault!"

"Are you kidding me? What does this have to do with me?"

Nan Wu said in a serious tone, "That's a huge deal! They said you stole their business first, almost causing them to lose their jobs. That's why they held a grudge and chose to do this on my wedding day. Their goal was to ruin our Nan family's good fortune and embarrass you. Dad, who exactly did you offend? You have no idea! I'm so scared! They're so fierce!"

"I...I..." Nan Dongxue never expected that the reason was actually his own, and he stammered and couldn't answer.

He had offended several companies before by using unfair means to steal their business, but they were all in the business world, and everyone was the same, so they all had the same attitude.

He couldn't think of anyone who might retaliate against him.

"Xiao Wu, why are you the only one who came back? Where's Rou Rou?" Jiang Xue looked out the door for a long time but couldn't see her daughter.

Nan Wu looked confused. "Where is she? How would I know!"

Jiang Xue was taken aback, and patiently reminded her, "It was Rou Rou who brought the money to redeem you. Logically speaking, you should have come back together. Xiao Wu, think again, where did Rou Rou go?"

Nan Wu shrugged. "Who knows? Anyway, I didn't see it!"

"You!" Jiang Xue stopped arguing and hurriedly dialed her daughter's number. She had a feeling that something was wrong.

The phone number is switched off!

"Why is it off? That shouldn't be happening!" Jiang Xue turned to Nan Dongxue for help. "Dongxue, do you think something happened to Rou Rou?"

"What could possibly happen to her? Let's wait and see!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her phone rang. It was Jiang Rourou calling, and Jiang Xue quickly answered.

"Hey, Rou Rou..."

"Mom, help me... It's dark and ugly here, and they won't give me any food. I'm starving..."

Jiang Xue's heart shattered instantly. "Rou Rou, where are you now? What happened...?"

The phone was snatched away. "Let Nan Dongxue answer the phone!"

For her daughter's safety, Jiang Xue dared not anger the other party and quickly handed the phone to Nan Dongxue, "Dongxue, Rou Rou seems to be controlled by someone. They want you to answer the phone!"

Nan Dongxue shouted, "Who are you? Why did you arrest my daughter? Release her right now, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

"You still have the nerve to say that? We agreed on 30 million, and you just sent your precious daughter to deliver tens of thousands? Are you treating us like monkeys? Not only that, you even called the police. Since we're so unrighteous, don't blame us for being unjust!"

"What? Tens of thousands of yuan? Impossible! I paid the full 30 million yuan. You're not satisfied, are you? Don't tell me you're going too far!" Nan Dongxue exclaimed in surprise.

"I don't want to waste my breath on you guys. In short, you're treating me like a monkey, so don't expect a quick death. If you can't spare 30 million, then give me 50 million. If you're short even a penny, this brat won't live. Anyway, we have a few lives on our hands, so killing one is the same as killing two!"

Jiang Xue couldn't wait any longer and snatched the phone, saying on her own initiative, "Fine, fine, fifty million it is. Please, please don't let my daughter be harmed. By the way, where are you? We'll send the money over right now..."

"Ha! Now you're in a hurry? Where were you before? Just wait, we'll let you know when we're done having fun!"

"You can't do this, hey, hey?"

Jiang Xue plopped down on the sofa, slapping her thigh and wailing, "What should I do? My Rou Rou..."

Wiping away her tears, she grabbed Nan Dongxue's arm. "Dongxue, you have to save Rou Rou! If anything happens to her, how can I live?"

Nan Wu lazily reminded her, "Aunt Xue, don't worry. Didn't you hear him say that he'll let us know when he's done playing? That means he won't harm her during this time!" Upon hearing this, Jiang Xue almost fainted.

"Enough, Xiao Wu! If you can't speak properly, then shut up! Rou Rou is your sister, after all. She risked her own safety to save you. How could you say such a thing? You have no conscience!" Nan Dongxue scolded Nan Wu for her wrongdoing.

Nan Wu smiled slightly, "Dad, instead of scolding me here, why don't you find out where Jiang Rourou hid those twenty million yuan? Maybe it will come in handy!"

She turned back to look at Jiang Xue, her smile bright, "You agree, right, Aunt Xue?"

Jiang Xue's dizziness and heartache had subsided, but her face, covered in heavy foundation, was alternating between red and white, making her look quite unsightly.

……

"Waaaah... It was Nanwu who offended you, why are you arresting me?"

"Please, let me go! If you let me go, I'll have my parents send you money right away!"

"Don't worry, once we get back, I promise I'll act like nothing happened and I won't call the police!"

Jiang Rourou was tied hand and foot to a chair. She cried and begged for a while, but when the thugs were unmoved, she broke down and shouted uncontrollably, "You won't let me go, huh? Fine, just wait. My parents will definitely come looking for me. When that happens, none of you will get away. I'll make you pay the price!"

"You bunch of penniless scum, I think you're so desperate for money that you'd risk your lives, huh?"

The leader of the thugs picked at his ear impatiently. "Damn it, this woman is so noisy. Does anyone have a knife?"

A younger brother handed it to him.

Staring at the gleaming blade, Jiang Rourou swallowed hard, her eyes filled with fear. "You, what do you want? Didn't you want money? If I lose even a single hair, you won't get a single penny!"

The leader of the thugs kicked over the chair next to him, then brandished a fruit knife and approached Jiang Rourou, the back of the knife pressed against her face, gesturing wildly.

"You've gained a little weight, but your face still looks pretty good. So, tell me, which part do you want me to do? Your nose? Your lips? Your face?"

"No, no... get away!" Jiang Rourou screamed, and in her struggle, she kicked the leader of the thugs.

The leader of the thugs slapped him across the face, yelling, "Damn it, you want a beating, huh?"

Jiang Rourou's face was swollen from being slapped, and she started to cry softly.

"Alright, since you care so much about your face, then here's what we'll do: guys, quickly call Sister Li and send this woman to her club to keep you company while you drink!"

Jiang Rourou was speechless with grief, completely stunned.

Meanwhile, after resting, Nanwu prepared to go to Baicheng ahead of schedule.

Su Wen was still waiting for her.

As soon as the door opened, Jiang Xue was raising her hand, ready to take a picture.

"Xiao Wu!" Jiang Xue couldn't wait any longer than half a day. She gripped Nan Wu's hand tightly. "Think carefully again. Where were you kidnapped? Maybe Rou Rou was there too. Help Auntie think carefully, okay? You'll definitely remember!"

Nan Wu crossed her arms and leaned against the door. "How could they possibly let me know where they are? They blindfolded me when they came back, okay? Besides, maybe Jiang Rourou and I live in different places? What you're doing is useless!"
