Chapter 277

"It's understandable that you took money to do this. I can understand."

"But I have no enmity or grudge against you. I just saved your life earlier. I only asked you to point me a way, and you could easily get 2 million for it."

"You didn't go back on your word or go against the other person's intentions. For you, this is a very cost-effective deal."

"If you're willing to reveal a little more information about the other person, with just a few words, you can earn 4 million. That's the kind of remuneration you'd get from doing this many times?"

Rong Dai continued trying to persuade the other person.

In her opinion, the Blind Old Woman's silence meant that she was not indifferent inside.

The Blind Old Woman looked up at her and pulled the quilt to cover herself, "Go to sleep. Seeing that you saved my life tonight, I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said."

Rong Dai didn't expect her to refuse so bluntly. But the Blind Old Woman's words gave her another piece of information.

At least the Blind Old Woman had a need for money.

As long as there was a need, it was just a matter of time before it could be resolved.

"Alright."

Rong Dai didn't continue throwing out her bargaining chips. Instead, she also sat on the kang, not bothering about how dirty it was.

"But you dare to take such risks. Nowadays society is so open, I know you understand the law. At least you know that depriving others of their personal freedom is against the law."

"But you still persist in doing this. Either you're truly greedy, or you desperately lack money. I think it's the latter in your case."

These past three days, the Blind Old Woman would leave and return at fixed times every day.

The distance was so great, and she would come back with wild game in her basket each time.

With one blind eye, no matter how strong or accurate her vision was, it was impossible for her to hunt such plump prey in the woods.

Besides, if she was truly skilled at hunting, she wouldn't have been chased so desperately by that lone injured wolf earlier.

So she guessed seven or eight parts out of ten that the place the Blind Old Woman went to every day was not for hunting, but to go home.

The household items and food reserves here were sufficient, but they were all newly added.

She had specially gone to take a look at the storage room. Although it was just a small woodshed, it couldn't be said to have no dust if it had been in long-term use.

At least dust wouldn't have thickly accumulated to almost a finger's width. This clearly wasn't a place the Blind Old Woman lived in year-round.

"4 million is already a huge sum for an average family. Some people can't even earn that much in their lifetime."

Rong Dai turned her head to stare straight at the Blind Old Woman's single eye.

The Blind Old Woman's mouth twitched as she fell silent for a long time.

Rong Dai didn't rush her either, because she knew the other party was moved.

"10 million, not a cent less. This is ransom money for my life."

"I'm only doing this because I have no choice. Other than the one who blinded my eye, I haven't harmed anyone who was brought here."

"You can transfer the money to my account. Even if it's investigated and I get arrested, I don't care. But you can't take the money back."

After about 15 minutes of silence, the Blind Old Woman finally spoke. Her tone was full of complexity and profoundness.

How could she not know that this was illegal?

But for the sake of her family, what was her old life worth?

Of all the people brought here she had seen, this girl was the smartest.

The others were all thinking of ways to escape or create trouble for her.

She only wanted money, not lives. And she wasn't the one who captured these people either.

But if not for this girl saving her just now, she would have died in the wolf's jaws.

What she was doing went against morals and the will of Heaven. Heaven's principles were difficult to tolerate.

This time, she would accumulate some virtue.

10 million was enough for her granddaughter's surgery fees.

If her son and daughter-in-law were a little thriftier, they could still live a good life afterwards.

"Alright."

Rong Dai didn't think too much about it.

Although 10 million was a lot, it was far less important than her own life.

Besides, she could earn even more 10 millions in the future.

"Go behind that cabinet over there. Your bag is there."

The Blind Old Woman pointed at a short cabinet in the house, indicating for her to move it aside. There was a concealed compartment behind the cabinet.

Sure enough, her handbag was hidden inside.

She had actually not discovered this concealed compartment!

"This is my account."

The Blind Old Woman took out a senior citizen mobile phone from her clothes and showed her a message with an account number.

Rong Dai didn't hesitate. She switched on her own phone while accepting the Blind Old Woman's phone to look at her account.

"My money is managed by my assistant. I can call her and ask her to transfer it to you immediately."

She looked at the Blind Old Woman and said, feeling that things were going surprisingly smoothly.

But the Blind Old Woman sat up with her single eye fixed intently on her, "Girl, don't try anything funny. I know you want someone to come rescue you."

"Since I've said this, I'll keep my word. Otherwise I can easily kill you in these mountains."

"Don't think I'm silly just because I'm old. Transfers can also be done by phone."

"Transfer me 8 million now. I'll bring you down the mountain. The remaining 2 million you can give me afterwards."

A trace of coldness rose in Rong Dai's heart, but she still shook her head with a wry smile as she handed over her phone to the Blind Old Woman.

"I don't mean to deceive you. Since you want me to trust you and aren't afraid your account will be investigated, why can't I make this call?"

"Even if I asked someone to rescue me, unless they were immortals, they wouldn't be able to come in a short time."

"By the time they arrive, you would have gotten the 10 million and have a full chance to leave this place."

"I said I won't make trouble for you. And the one I want to make trouble for isn't you either."

If she transferred the money to the old woman now, she would probably go back on her word later.

It was possible she might fall into the other party's trap like this.

"I'll call and ask someone to transfer it to you. Either that or I'll just stay here and wait. When it's time, you'll have to bring me down the mountain and the 10 million will be gone."

"I'm not an easy target. I also earn money through great hardships, while also facing the risk of being kidnapped anytime. What if you asked for even more later?"

"If I gave all my family wealth to you, what would my family eat and drink?"

Rong Dai retorted.

She had to seize this opportunity to get in contact with Lu Nianzhi no matter what.

The Blind Old Woman fell silent for a long time after hearing her words.

"Then be quick about it. I hope you keep your word, otherwise don't think about finding out who captured you."

"You'll miss the opportunity here. Next time, you still won't be prepared even though the same thing might happen again unless you stop going out."

The Blind Old Woman wasn't stupid either, but for the sake of the 10 million, she was going all out!

Even if she languished in prison for life, for the sake of her granddaughter's life, as someone who already had one foot in the grave, what more did she have to fear?

"Alright."

Rong Dai nodded. She was extremely nervous and apprehensive inside too.

What if the Blind Old Woman didn't agree? Based on the distance she covered daily, her family didn't live far away either.

If they came over together, her plan would fail and her situation would become even more dangerous!

There's a saying that three cobblers with their wits combined can match Zhuge Liang. She wasn't even Zhuge Liang!
