The man controlled me with one hand while holding the remote control with the other.


    As approached with his entourage, all armed, forming a fan-shaped formation to surround us.


    I struggled desperately to loosen the man''s grip on my arm, my eyes fixed on As.


    The man stepped backward to the rooftop''s edge, his excitement evident. "Ha... As, perfect timing. Since you''re willing to pay for her, that''s good. Transfer the 600 million to the overseas ount, and I''ll release her immediately. Otherwise, you''ll perish together."


    As stared at me, his entire body exuding an icy chill, like the sky before a storm. His eyes were full of ruthlessness.


    He stepped closer to us, his gaze never leaving me, struggling under the man''s control. I was being forced further away from him.


    "Let her go. Otherwise, you won''t get a dime." As''s eyes were like a hawk, fixed on the man. "If you release her, you can get the money, and I''ll even let you leave safely!"


    "As, if you want her back, transfer the money quickly. Otherwise... I don''t mind everyone staying here. The explosion just now was just a car. Next time, you''ll witness an even more spectacr scene. What do you say? The entire second floor heard it. How about here?"


    The man looked mad and sinister.


    I was struggling to breathe under his grip. I tried to pry his hands away, and he winced in pain. He warned me, "Don''t move, girl. I don''t mind flying down from this building with you."


    His words choked me further. I looked at As with despair. I couldn''t speak but desperately wanted him to save the people downstairs.


    As looked at me with pained eyes, his hand clenched into a fist at his side.


    "ount number," As said simply.


    The man nodded toward a chair nearby, and Dn found a card lying on the table near it.


    "Dn. Get the money ready." As instructed Dn. His eyes, however, remained fixed on me.


    The man had leaned against the rooftop railing with no way to retreat, bing even more reckless.


    "As, I knew you had money, and 600 million is like a drop in the ocean for you. This girl, isn''t she the one you''ve been yearning for? That''s why I brought her up here. Haha... 600 million to buy her? Girl, I hope you''re worth it," the man taunted.


    As didn''t nce at him and addressed me, "Chlo, don''t be afraid. I''m here."


    My eyes were fixed on him, a bit misty.


    "As, don''t y tricks. I''m tellingN?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    you, if the money doesn''t go into my bank ount, I won''t spare her." The man became agitated. "Hurry up, I''ll give you another 5 minutes. If the transfer isn''t done, we''ll all die together. No one will survive."


    Dn returned to As''s side. "Mr. As, we''re ready to proceed."


    "Transfer it," As dered without hesitation.


    Dn swiftly operated theputer. Instantly, he turned the screen toward the man, disying a sessful transfer interface.


    The man became excited and suddenly asked, "Is it in?"


    I sensed that he was using Bluetooth to stay connected with someone else. This question was directed to his hidden aplice.


    "Release her." As moved forward again.


    "Don''te over. Haha! As, you''re


    really something. 600 million, and you didn''t even blink, huh? But you must have some regrets in your life. Otherwise, how could you remember me? Haha... Since I''m here, I don''t n on leaving alive... "


    Before he could finish his sentence, I suddenly heard a sharp sound near our ears. The man used the hand holding the remote to touch his ear, where the Bluetooth device was. Bang!


    A gunshot rang out. The man abruptly swung his hand, and the remote flew out of his hand. Dn swiftly ran over, leaping to catch the remote in mid-air.


    Simultaneously, the man tightened his grip on me, causing me to lean backward.
