When Rong Tian wakes up, it is mostly because of thirst.

She felt like a fire was burning in her throat, and she swallowed with difficulty. Rong Tian struggled to open her sore eyes.

At first glance, she saw Jiujiu.

Jiujiu looked nothing unusual, sitting on a chair opposite, holding her cheek, looking at Rong Tian.

Seeing her awakening, Jiujiu immediately put down her hand and stood up.

"You should be thirsty, right? I'll pour you some water."

As she said, she walked to the water dispenser in the room, pumped a disposable paper cup, took some cold water, and then some hot water to mix it to the right temperature.

Rong Tian looked at her back and fell into confusion.

She remembered that she had accidentally heard Jiujiu's call and learned that she would meet the mysterious man, so she secretly followed her and walked into a somewhat old office building.

However, she didn't remember what happened next.

Rong Tian shook her heavy head desperately, trying to recall what happened, but her mind was blank, as if a recording was deliberately erased by someone.

"Give it, drink it."

Jiujiu said, handing the paper cup to Rong Tian's mouth - because Rong Tian's hands were still tied and she couldn't drink water by herself.

She turned her head aside stubbornly.

"You have finished drinking it. If you have anything you want to ask me, you can ask directly."

Jiujiu knew that Rong Tian was angry with her and couldn't help but say softly.

After hearing what she said, Rong Tian opened her mouth slightly and drank half of the cup of warm water. After drinking the water, she felt better. Her throat was no longer so hot, and she could barely speak.

"Who did you meet here? Why did that person have to tell him about me?"

After looking around, Rong Tian confirmed that she was still in that office building, which should be an office on a certain floor, but her surroundings were empty. Apart from the sofa under her and a water dispenser, the only folding chair that Jiujiu had just sat in the room was left.

"I know you heard me talking on the phone, but I thought you would ask me directly instead of following me. Miss Rong, let's not talk about this question for now. Please think about it, how did I treat you as a subordinate in the past few months?"

Jiujiu stood in front of Rong Tian, ​​holding her hands in her chest, and her tone was very calm.

Rong Tian raised her head, looked at her, pursed her lips and thought for a while, then replied hoarsely: "You are very good to me, both for public and private, so I can't figure out why you treat me like this."

“Because I need a lot of money, a lot of money.”

Jiujiu answered her question directly, without any guilt on her face. She stared at Rong Tian, ​​her face as if she was talking about someone else's affairs.

"You probably don't know, I have a younger brother, who is a firefighter. A year ago, when he was on a mission, he found that the building was on fire was the big explosion caused by a gas pipeline leak. He could have rescued my parents first, but he didn't do that. When he took out the two children from the next house and went home, he found that my mother was no longer able to do it, and my father also fell into a coma. Because of this, my brother chose to commit suicide. He felt that he was useless and could not save his parents. My father suffered severe burns and the hospital in Hong Kong was not sure of performing surgery on him. I had to raise enough money to take him to the United States."

She is a person who rarely talks about private affairs. For the past few months, she has lived with Quinny, and the chat topics are limited to daily entertainment and work, and she never talks about her family and relatives.

It turns out that it is because of such an unknown story.

"You are an employee of Rong. There was such a big accident in your family. You have every reason to apply for some help from the company, but you don't."

Although Rong Tian sympathized with her, what she didn't understand was that since Jiujiu has always been Rong Huazhen's confidant, why didn't she go to Rong Huazhen to discuss it and see if she would like to lend a helping hand to her?

"I went to Rong Huazhen, but she advised me to hand over my father to a welfare institution, or to send him directly to a nursing home, and just pay a few thousand yuan of living expenses a month. She said I was still young and there was no need to bear this burden, which might affect my future future and marriage. At that time, I really couldn't believe that she was also a person with old people and young people, how could she say such inhuman words?"

A look of sadness and anger finally appeared on Jiujiu's face. As she said that, she slowly clenched her fists, as if she was suppressing her emotions.

Rong Tian lowered her head and didn't say anything.

She believed that people like Rong Huazhen could definitely say such words. She even said more than once that family affection and friendship are not as important as money, because only with money can one have relatives and friends. In life, there is no need to slow down one's own pace for the sake of these burdens around her.

Perhaps, these words have some truths, but when you hear them, you will still make people feel chilled and feel that she is too cold-blooded and too numb.

"I'm sorry. I'll say sorry to you for her."

Rong Tian sniffed and said in a muffled voice.

Rong Huazhen is her mother, but once she gets angry, she has the same attitude towards herself, and it is even more conceivable to outsiders. Jiujiu is a very strong person. If she hadn't been desperate, she wouldn't have asked her boss for help. However, Rong Huazhen just gave her more pain.

"There is nothing to be sorry for. I never thought of getting something for nothing. I just wanted to get enough money as soon as possible. For this, I am willing to pay the corresponding price."

Jiujiu let go of her fist and returned to expressionlessness again.

Rong Tian looked up, looked at her seriously, and asked softly: "How much do you need? Maybe I am not as rich as others, but I am willing to give you my savings and help you raise your father's medical expenses."

The fire caused by the explosion, severe burns on multiple areas of the body, and was once in a critical condition... Even if you don't know much about medical knowledge, Rong Tian can imagine that the surgical fee required must be astronomical. Even if the operation is successful, plus a series of rehabilitation costs in the later stage, it is definitely not something that ordinary families can afford.

No wonder Jiujiu took the risk. She now relied on her father, while her mother and younger brother were no longer alive.

“No need.”

Jiujiu declined softly. She knew very well that Rong Tian in front of her was a fake. Once her fake identity was exposed, she could not even get a penny from the Rong family. So, from the beginning, she did not intend to ask her for help.

Before, Gu Mocun asked her to act like a little bit, but in fact, why did she pretend? Because every word she said was true. If it weren't for that money, why would she have to live in endless panic and guilt all day long?

Betray Rong Huazhen first, then betray Rong Tian.

"No need, it's because I found someone who can give you this money, right? This is also the reason why you deliberately led me here today, right?"

Rong Tian was not slow, and she quickly understood the cause and effect relationship.

Jiujiu nodded, admitting it.

Rong Tian smiled bitterly and moved her hands. Fortunately, the person who tied her up should not be too bad. At least she didn't tie the hemp rope tightly. She could barely move her wrists so that she would not have any blood.

"Is this a kidnapping? You might as well tell me directly, at least I'm a little mentally prepared. However, if you want a ransom, don't contact my mother. You have seen it. She would rather die now. I'm afraid that she will tell you directly, to tear the votes."

She said half true and half falsely, her tone full of helplessness.

However, Rong Huazhen may not necessarily take out a huge sum of money to redeem her guess, but it is almost the same.

She is single now. If she dies, then Rong Huazhen is the closest person she is and deserves her assets.

"It's not a kidnapping, it's just a cooperation. You wait, someone will come to talk to you later."

Jiujiu shook her head and said as she picked up her phone and pressed it.

A huge screen suddenly fell from the bare wall in front of Rong Tian.

Soon, the big screen completely landed, and a cute cartoon dog pattern appeared in the center, with a small trumpet logo next to it.

"Hello, Miss Rong. Sorry, I have to meet you in this way."

A clear sound came from the room, which was a man's voice, with a mid-bass, and a bit magnetic.

Rong Tian looked around and didn't know where the sounds came from because she couldn't see any sound facilities.

But the man's voice was very clear and the volume was loud enough.

"Who are you and where are you?"

She calmed down and asked loudly.

"I am me, I'm everywhere."

His answer was the same as he hadn't answered at all.

Rong Tian couldn't help but stared at the cartoon dog jumping in front of her angrily. This man didn't even dare to show his true face. He must be a timid! It's a shame that he actually fell into the hands of such a person!

And, most importantly, she had no idea what the other party was going to do.

"If you have something to say, is it a waste of money or a life? If you want money, you should save money. In fact, I don't have much money, so it's even more impossible for my parents to use money to redeem me and go home."

Rong Tian said loudly in anger.

After saying that, a trace of sadness suddenly appeared in her heart: Could it be that no one in this world cares about his life or death?

She suddenly thought of Chong Tiange.

If he knew he was missing, would he look for her everywhere? Will he use the money to redeem her?
