Beep beep beep... beep beep beep...
The ringtone of the phone kept ringing incessantly.
Xiao Yun took out his phone from his pocket and placed it on the table, refusing to answer.
After a while, Kato Miyoko had no choice but to hang up.
Boss Lady looked at Xiao Yun as if he were a monster, playfully smiled, and asked, "Dragon Three Younger Brother, why aren't you answering Kato Miyoko's call? Aren't you just torturing her on purpose?"
While drinking, Xiao Yun picked up some food and chewed it heartily, saying, "Tofu Xishi, you are really too clever. If I don't take this opportunity to torment her a bit, how could someone like her ever be subdued by me?"
One can imagine that at this moment, Kato Miyoko must have been wearing a face full of despair. He was certain that it wouldn't be long before Kato Miyoko would call again.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before Xiao Yun's phone rang once more.
This time, Xiao Yun finally pressed the answer button, and Kato Miyoko's anxious voice quickly came through: "Long San, help me, please get me out of here..."
From her tone, it was clear she was not only anxious but also sounded a bit tearful.
Who would have thought that this Brand Director of Heavenly Fortune Company, known for her cold-heartedness and ruthlessness, would actually have a day where she pleaded for help.
What do they call this?
In idiomatic terms, is it self-inflicted suffering?
"Why should I help you?" Xiao Yun smiled slightly and asked in a chilling tone.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yun activated the newly acquired Sound-to-Image ability, which allowed him to see what someone was doing just by hearing their voice.
This ability was similar in function to the Steal Fragrance technique, except that Steal Fragrance originated from Wu Daozi's seven-colored Heart Pearl, while the "Sound-to-Image" clearly evolved from the Heavenly Mechanism Pearl.
After all, during Wu Daozi's era, there were no advanced reading devices, and he could not have cultivated such a peculiar ability. As for why the Heavenly Mechanism Pearl could evolve into the Sound-to-Image function within Xiao Yun, it was evidently due to the profound and mysterious techniques contained within the Heavenly Mechanism Pearl itself.
At that moment, an image appeared before Xiao Yun. The scene depicted what seemed to be a cave, where Kato Miyoko was tied to a large rock. Fortunately, one of her hands was still free, holding a mobile phone.
Sato Jinpachi and several others were gathered around a pile of burning firewood, eating grilled meat and drinking alcohol, occasionally making noise. One person was watching Kato Miyoko's every move from a distance.
Clearly, Kato Miyoko was allowed to communicate with Xiao Yun with Sato Jinpachi's consent.
Upon hearing Xiao Yun's words, Kato Miyoko seemed momentarily speechless.
Seeing her awkward expression, Xiao Yun couldn't help but laugh and said, "Director, it's not impossible to save you, but only if you admit that you are my woman; otherwise, I won't agree."
"You..." Kato Miyoko was instantly furious and at a loss for words.
It was no wonder Kato Miyoko was angry; she was a Brand Director, while Xiao Yun was merely a low-level employee in her eyes. How dare he speak to her like that?
To ask me to be his woman? This guy is simply too audacious!
"Hehe, I know you don't want to. Then I'll hang up. However, I must tell you that those thugs on your side are not good characters; some are escaped murderers with blood on their hands. And considering how beautiful you are, who knows what might happen!" Xiao Yun said as he prepared to end the call.
Taking this opportunity, he didn't mind threatening this arrogant and self-important woman a little more.
Unless she felt thoroughly scared, how could she possibly soften in front of him?
In the company, Xiao Yun usually didn't have this opportunity; all he received were her disdainful glances, reprimands, and even insults. Now that such a great opportunity had presented itself, it felt like fate. If he didn't take the chance to mess with her, it would be a disservice to the heavens.
Sure enough, Kato Miyoko was so anxious she was about to cry. "Long San..."
Uh, it seems there's still a chance?
Xiao Yun's eyes were fixed on the scene unfolding before him. He noticed tears shimmering in Kato Miyoko's beautiful eyes.
He knew this situation was enough to leave her conflicted.
Perhaps at this very moment, she regretted ordering Wu the Fat to take care of Xiao Yun. How did she end up getting involved?
"Long San, I... I agree to your terms, as long as you can find a way to save me," Kato Miyoko managed to say after much effort.
—Haha, has she agreed to be my woman?
Xiao Yun certainly didn't believe Kato Miyoko's words. With her orientation and extreme aversion to men, how could she possibly become his woman?
However, for her to say something like that was unprecedented.
"Alright," Xiao Yun said with a wicked smile, lowering his voice. "Director Kato, you need to shout for help loudly. Of course, it would be best if it sounded ambiguous so that those people believe in our relationship and trust that I will definitely come for you."
"This..." For a moment, Kato Miyoko looked completely conflicted.
Xiao Yun grinned mischievously. "What's wrong? Can't you say it?"
Kato Miyoko's fear ultimately outweighed her conflict. She shouted loudly, "Long San, my dear, please come save me! I really can't take it anymore! Just think of last night when we were intimate in bed; you have to come! Mmm mmm mmm..."
The woman spoke and suddenly burst into tears.
Her cries not only revealed her fear but also contained a sense of grievance...
Who would have thought that such a cold-hearted beauty, the beautiful boss, would cry so sorrowfully?
A flicker of satisfaction surged in Xiao Yun's heart, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud, saying, "Dear Kato Miyoko, hand your phone to Sato Jinpachi; I have something to say to him."
Over there, Kato Miyoko obediently handed the phone to Scarface.
Sato Jinpachi took the phone and shouted, "Kid, what do you want to say to me?"
Xiao Yun sneered, "Chen Ba, I warn you, my girlfriend is with you. If any of you dares to harm a single hair on her head, I will make sure each of you wishes you were dead."
He meant every word.
Everything Xiao Yun did was merely to subdue Kato Miyoko through Sato Jinpachi; he absolutely could not allow anyone to hurt her.
His words were filled with cold murderous intent.
Even the extremely cunning and ruthless Sato Jinpachi couldn't help but shiver slightly upon hearing his tone.
"Hmph, Long, we won't touch your girlfriend; our target is just you!" Sato Jinpachi sneered from the other end.
Xiao Yun replied, "Where are you? I'll come over tomorrow morning."
A glint of malice flashed in Sato Jinpachi's eyes as he said, "At Heavenly King Mountain's Wohu Cave. By the way, when you come tomorrow, remember to bring 100,000 Huaxia Coins. Also, don't even think about calling the police; otherwise, be prepared to collect your girlfriend's corpse!"
"Didn't someone give you money? Why are you still asking me for it?" Xiao Yun was annoyed.
Sato Jinpachi sneered, "You injured so many of my men; you have to cover the medical expenses, right?"
"Fine, I agree!" Xiao Yun said and hung up.
Boss Lady, who was nearby, asked, "That Sato Jinpachi is asking you for money? How much?"
Xiao Yun replied, "100,000 Huaxia Coins."
Boss Lady smiled, "I have cash here; let me get it for you!"
She went to the bedroom and really brought back One Hundred Thousand Yuan.
"This... how can I take your money!" Xiao Yun hesitated.
"Take it; this money is from Wei Ge anyway," Boss Lady said with a sly smile. "Remember, money is a small matter. When you meet that Sato Jinpachi tomorrow, be sure to keep your guard up; this guy is very cunning!"
Keep my guard up? Xiao Yun couldn't help but squint and smile. This Tofu Xishi really was like a neighborly sister—pure, innocent, and very kind-hearted. Xiao Yun felt very touched by this.
As for the money, since it belonged to Wei Qinghe, why not take it...
