Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One
Chapter 34: You were too late

Chapter 34: Chapter 34: You were too late

The two frail kidnappers grunted and groaned as they dragged and pulled Young Master Zhou out of the bag and into the room. After panting heavily for a while, they finally decided to go out and survey the surroundings before making this crucial call.

Sigh, starting with no experience leads to this kind of outcome.

Always feels like something’s not right.

...

"So slow and tedious."

Chu River spat out the lollipop stick in her mouth with a "puh," her spiritual power spreading layer by layer, and silently opened the door.

She also casually and leisurely walked into the empty house, quickly pulling Zhou Bai out of the sack.

Then she tore off the tape stuck beside his mouth.

Zhou Bai’s body suddenly straightened——

"Wooo!!!"

The wealthy heir let out a tragic and stifled shout. Luckily, the door was closed, so he hadn’t been discovered yet.

And blood was gushing down from the side of his mouth, as if he had been tortured——

The tape was ripped too forcefully and quickly, taking off his dry skin.

...

Chu River didn’t expect this!

She looked at the tape in her hand with fragments of the surface skin, instinctively putting on a face of righteous indignation:

"Your body is really not in great shape."

Without waiting for him to recover, she quickly changed the topic:

"We agreed on 2 million before; I’ve been working hard for that 2 million. When do you plan to pay?"

Zhou Bai: !!!

He instantly widened his eyes—he recognized her, she was the student he saved by the park!

Well, turns out he saved a wolf in sheep’s clothing!

She’s in cahoots with those kidnappers!

What insider? Clearly just trying to swindle more money!

So the spirited wealthy heir angrily glared at Chu River:

"You’ll never succeed!"

...

"Smack!"

Chu River slapped the back of his head, and at this moment, stretched out her long leg onto his chest—

"Dare to renege on my account—have you thought about the consequences?"

This slap was crisp and loud.

Zhou Bai saw stars, taking a while to recover.

But he continued ferociously:

"I heard you! You plan to demand 50 million, isn’t 50 million enough to split?"

Chu River looked at him, her expression becoming indescribable—

"Xiao Zhou ah..."

She shook her head: "For your sake, I did look into the Penal Code thoroughly. 50 million is barely enough, but handling the trouble is too much."

"Here’s the problem: you made a request, I fulfilled the agreement. Now you want to default on this 2 million?"

Where’s the flair of a rich family’s lavish spending?

She tapped Zhou Bai’s chest with her toe:

"Back then, the agreement was clear. Send these two to prison for 10 or 8 years, and get 2 million."

"If it weren’t for trying to reach 10 or 8 years, why wait till their kidnapping to make a move?"

Zhou Bai was dumbstruck.

—Too many elements, it’s hard to believe at once, and he’s speechless.

Wait, he has to sort this out.

So he stammered:

"You, wait a minute, I..."

Seeing Chu River’s dangerous expression, he wisely changed his tune:

"...I’ll consider giving more money."

Listen!

Such sweet words from that little mouth!

Chu River instantly burst into laughter, seemingly affectionately patting Zhou Bai’s dirty forehead:

"It’s okay, there’s still some time. Whether you add money or not doesn’t matter, just make sure you’ve thought through this clearly."

Then she added:

"My efforts are truly worth adding some money."

...

This matter is really not complicated.

Zhou Bai didn’t even have to rack his brain to understand it.

At this moment, he just wanted to go back to that late night.

Without saying much, first slap himself—blame your loose tongue, blame your loose tongue!

If he hadn’t made that idiotic request, why would he be suffering this pain, wailing!!!

...

But the main factor remains with those two kidnappers.

After reflecting, Zhou Bai’s expression became unpleasant again:

"Did you call the police?"

"Are the police already in position?"

"Nope."

Chu River clapped her hands, now surveying this empty room:

"I’m here to confirm the money with you face-to-face. After it’s confirmed, I’ll call the police."

"Moreover, if I call the police too early, if the requirement isn’t met, what if you deduct my money?"

Zhou Bai: ...

This girl clearly isn’t very bright!

He asked in despair: "So, you came all by yourself???"

The next second, the door swung open.

The kidnapping duo was discussing their next steps.

"Let’s shoot a video and send it over..."

But didn’t finish the sentence before abruptly halting.

...

When Chu River kicked each of them against the wall with ease, she cheerfully asked the dumbfounded wealthy heir:

"These two are considered my patrons, aren’t they? Without them, I wouldn’t earn this money. Should I go easy on them?"

Zhou Bai snapped back instantly, yelling madly:

"Nonsense! I’m the client paying, hit them!!!"

Yet, with his command, Chu River didn’t move, instead narrowing her eyes dangerously:

"Are you teaching me how to do my job?!"

Zhou Bai couldn’t resist shuddering, seamlessly continuing:

"I’ll add money."

...

"You should’ve said that earlier."

Chu River raised an eyebrow, her joy overflowing in her expression.

She stepped forward, swiftly grabbing Zhao An’s hair to tilt his face up, then slapped him with a "smack."

With a little more force, she showcased the swelling on his cheek—

"How much is this slap worth?"

Her expression was full of pure delight and anticipation.

In an instant, the wealthy heir trembled all over, grateful his family is wealthy.

His spirit surged:

"100 thousand!"

After a moment’s daze, Chu River instinctively let go, carefully examining the ordinary features of the two.

...

The college entrance exam is a momentous day, and the whole country places great importance on it, especially in Tianshui. The police station was all hands on deck, either escorting children or directing traffic...

Making sure to create a peaceful environment for all examinees!

And right at this time, the police station near Tianshui Second High School received a report that someone was attempting kidnapping and extortion!

The extortion call had already been made, demanding over 50 million!

Heavens!!!

Tianshui City hasn’t experienced such a major case before, and they chose such a crucial time!

It’s almost like trying to kill the chief!

Now everyone was mobilized, and before 8:00 in the morning, police cars surrounded this house in the deep mountains.

And when the SWAT team burst in with shields, all they saw was the wealthy heir, who should have been kidnapped, sitting on the ground with a strange yet satisfied demeanor, while in the corner, two pig-headed figures barely recognizable were trembling upon seeing them, desperately crawling over to clutch the SWAT team’s ankles!

And they made muffled noises—

"Police, why did you come so late, sob sob sob..."
