Although it was noon, there were still people busily at work on the construction site.

The workers, not minding the dirt, took advantage of the brief rest period to sleep right on the ground.

Those who weren’t asleep, even if they accidentally bumped into Jiang Chen and Bai Haoran, would turn a blind eye and walk around them.

It was obvious.

Everyone here seemed to recognize Bai Haoran.

“Was it Liang Zhenlun who sent you?”

On the way here, Jiang Chen had already suspected as much.

As an ordinary college student, who would go out of their way to trouble him?

After all the thinking, the only person he had a conflict with was that Young Master Liang.

“It’s just your bad luck, picking the wrong person’s woman to snatch, specifically Liang’s woman.”

Bai Haoran pushed Jiang Chen up to the fourth floor.

This commercial apartment building was still under construction, with no external walls yet, empty and open to the winds from all sides, giving a very insecure feeling.

I snatched his woman?

It’s really a case of the thief shouting to catch the thief.

But Jiang Chen understood that in this situation, reason was not going to work.

“Mr.

Bai, could you please show some mercy?

As long as you’re willing to let me go, there will be a generous reward,” Jiang Chen asked, hoping for leniency.

Money talks.

At times like these, the only thing that might help him escape this predicament would be money.

Bai Haoran’s smile turned up at the corners.

A generous reward.

Just listen to that tone.

If he didn’t know this was just an ordinary college student, who even had to work part-time waiting tables to support himself, he might have mistaken him for a scion of a wealthy family.

“A generous reward?

How generous?” Bai Haoran asked with a meaningful smile, not in a rush since the young man was now trapped like meat on a chopping block.

“How much did Liang Zhenlun offer you?” Jiang Chen asked, his expression serious, not sounding like he was joking.

“How much can you offer?” Bai Haoran’s eyes twinkled with the playfulness of a cat toying with a mouse.

“No matter how much Liang Zhenlun offers, I’ll double it,” Jiang Chen declared boldly, as if he were a prodigal ready to squander his wealth.

Bai Haoran stared at him for a while, his smile growing brighter and more intense, then he asked, word by word,

“Kid, do you have money?”

Jiang Chen wasn’t embarrassed at all.

Even though he knew there was no one around, he still looked around deliberately and lowered his voice.

“Mr.

Bai, truth be told, my family is actually very wealthy.

The reason why I live frugally at school is because my family wants to cultivate my character, to teach me to be independent.

That’s the reason I work part-time,” Jiang Chen explained earnestly.

Watching Jiang Chen make his serious claims, Bai Haoran frowned slightly, at a loss whether the young man was speaking truth or lies.

Could it really be?

Would a poor young man with nothing to his name really have the nerve to compete with someone like Liang Zhenlun for a woman?

“Mr.

Bai, I’m telling the truth.

If you let me go, I’ll make sure you’re satisfied,” Jiang Chen said sincerely.

Although Bai Haoran was ruthless, he wasn’t foolish.

The reason he took the initiative to help Liang Zhenlun was to do him a favor, and also because the target was just an ordinary student.

To deal with a poor boy was no difficult task, but if the target turned out to be a wealthy and powerful heir, the repercussions would be entirely different.

To verify the truth of Jiang Chen’s statements, Bai Haoran squinted his eyes and said deliberately, “Alright, give me two hundred thousand now, and I’ll let you go.”

Seeing his attitude soften, but with something seemingly difficult to express, Jiang Chen remained silent for a long while.

“What?

Is there a problem?” Bai Haoran asked.

After hesitating, Jiang Chen said somewhat awkwardly, “Mr.

Bai, is it possible to write an IOU?”

An IOU?

Bai Haoran was taken aback, and then his expression darkened instantly.

“Are you fucking playing with me?!”

“No, it’s not that, I just don’t have the money right now.

Give me some time, and I will definitely pay you, three hundred thousand!

I’ll give you three hundred thousand!” Jiang Chen quickly replied.

But by this time, Bai Haoran wouldn’t believe him anymore.

This wasn’t just a poor ghost, but it seemed like his brain was also damned problematic.

No wonder he dared to vie with Liang Zhenlun for a woman.

“Kid, you’re going to pay for your actions, walk forward!”

Feeling mocked, Bai Haoran forced Jiang Chen to step by step towards the edge of the floor with a dagger at his back.

“Mr.

Bai, I’m telling the truth, believe me, I really do have money…”

Bai Haoran turned a deaf ear and pushed Jiang Chen to the edge.

If he took one more step forward, he would fall.

The fourth floor.

Approximately over ten meters high.

This kind of height surely wouldn’t kill a person, but with bad luck, one might end up lying in a hospital bed for a year and a half.

“Mr.

Bai, I have acrophobia, we can discuss this reasonably,” Jiang Chen implored.

Jiang Chen didn’t give up; immobile, he could only try to turn his head.

The Bai Haoran clinging to his back paid him no heed, pushing the dagger slightly forward, “Do you jump yourself, or do I need to send you down?”

He was forcing Jiang Chen to jump himself.

If he jumped on his own initiative, with some preparation, the injuries would undoubtedly be lighter; if pushed, the outcome would be uncertain.

However, this way, Bai Haoran could shirk responsibility, manipulate the situation, and it might all be construed as an accident.

Sinister indeed.

Undoubtedly, Jiang Chen now faced a dilemma: either to resist forcibly, and in his unarmed state, the likeliest result would be taking a knife or two.

Or, listen to the other party, jump willingly, and as for how long he would lie in a hospital bed, that would be up to fate.

“Five hundred thousand!

Is five hundred thousand enough?”

Seeing this guy still blabbering nonsense, Bai Haoran completely lost patience.

“You won’t jump, huh?

Fine, I’ll help you.”

Just as he was about to kick Jiang Chen off, at the critical moment, suddenly someone shouted.

“Stop!”

Li Shuru, who had been hiding all this time, finally stood out.

“Shu Rui?”

Jiang Chen was stunned, his face a picture of astonishment; he never expected Li Shuru to be here.

Li Shuru paid no mind to him, staring intently at Bai Haoran.

“Let him go, or I’m calling the police.”

In her hand was a white cell phone.

Bai Haoran looked at her and then at the phone in her hand, his expression wavering.

The atmosphere suddenly became suffocating and oppressive.

Li Shuru’s breathing was heavy; unbeknownst to her, her palms were sweating.

“Fine, he’s yours,” Bai Haoran said suddenly with a bright smile, stepping back and withdrawing the dagger.

The tension in the air immediately eased.

Jiang Chen, now freed, quickly walked towards Li Shuru.

On his face, there was little of the relief one would expect after a narrow escape; rather, he displayed a greater degree of embarrassment.

Isn’t it always the hero saving the beauty in movies, novels, and fairy tales?

Why had the script completely changed when it came to him?

“Why did you come here?”

Jiang Chen approached the girl who appeared like a deus ex machina, forcing a natural smile.

“If you want to stay here and continue bungee jumping, be my guest.”

Li Shuru turned and walked away.

“Shu Rui, wait for me!”

Watching the two disappear one after the other at the stairway, Bai Haoran’s smile slowly faded away.
