"Do you have any idea that we've always treated you like family? My sister even fell out with me because of you!"

"And yet you kidnap my sister, all for that mine?"

"You're absolutely despicable!" Liu Yumei shouted, pressing the speakerphone button. She was on the verge of being driven mad by rage.

"Eldest Miss, don't be so tense. I know the Second Miss values loyalty and righteousness, so I won't hurt her. After all, I'm the one who raised her."

"So, let's make a deal. You hand over the mining contract, and I promise the Second Miss will face no harm," Dai Wushuang said bluntly, not bothering to hide his intentions.

"In your dreams!" Liu Yumei rejected him without hesitation.

"Dai Wushuang, you're nothing but a lowly servant. You were right all along; in our eyes, you have always been just a servant!"

"Don't even think you can make me bow down to you. That's absolutely impossible. I advise you to release my sister immediately. Otherwise, you should know how ruthless I can be."

In the end, Liu Yumei's words were merciless threats.

"Liu Yumei, you've finally shown your true colors, haven't you? You finally admit you've always looked down on me, don't you?" Dai Wushuang seemed to have been provoked, suddenly losing control of his emotions and roaring with anger.

"You damn wench! If that's how it is, then don't blame me for being merciless!"

"You have thirty minutes to get to the mine. You must bring the contract. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what might happen to your sister!"

"This girl is the spitting image of you when you were young—her figure and looks are exquisite. Sometimes, I just can't control myself!"

"Hahaha..."

"You bastard!" Liu Yumei shouted again in anger. "If a single hair on my sister's head is harmed, I will make you pay the most painful price!"

"We'll see about that!" Dai Wushuang said with utter disdain before hanging up without another moment's hesitation.

After she hung up, Liu Yumei's body trembled violently. Thankfully, Chen Zheng reacted quickly and immediately steadied her. "Ms. Liu..."

It took her a long moment to regain her composure, but her breathing was still rapid. She clenched her teeth and hissed, "That damned bastard. I'll make him pay!"

"Mr. Chen, I'm going to the mine now. Perhaps..."

"I'll go with you," Chen Zheng analyzed calmly. "Dai Wushuang wouldn't be this brazen unless he had a more powerful force backing him. That must be why he dares to turn on you like this."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Chen."

Liu Yumei felt Chen Zheng had a very valid point. She immediately summoned the family's top experts and headed straight for the mine.

As a top-tier family, the Liu Family still had considerable hidden strength, including a few older bodyguards who had a formidable aura.

Chen Zheng merely glanced at them and realized they had actually reached the realm of external martial arts.

The group got into their cars and sped toward the mine.

"Dai Wushuang, you damned scoundrel! Release my sister immediately, or I'll make you suffer the most painful consequences!" The moment they stepped out of the cars, they saw Liu Yuling tied to a stone pillar, a cloth gagging her mouth.

Her expression was one of pure terror. She kept shaking her head, muffled sounds escaping her throat. She was clearly terrified.

Liu Yumei rushed forward frantically, trying to rescue her sister. But unexpectedly, Dai Wushuang raised his pistol and fired a shot into the ground without hesitation. The gunshot forced Liu Yumei to an abrupt halt.

"Now, now, Eldest Miss," Dai Wushuang said, his lips curling into a smirk. "Don't be so hasty. Did you bring the contract I asked for?" His expression was utterly triumphant.

"Dai Wushuang, release my sister now, and I'll give you the contract. I won't trick you," Liu Yumei said in a low voice.

"Eldest Miss, you don't take me for a three-year-old child, do you? Only a fool would believe such childish words." As he spoke, Dai Wushuang pressed the pistol in his hand against Liu Yuling's forehead.

At the sight of this, Liu Yumei panicked. Without hesitation, she immediately took out the contracts. "Don't do anything rash! The contracts are right here! You can take what you want whenever you like!"

"That's more like it," Dai Wushuang ordered coldly. "Bring the contracts over to me now. Slowly... walk over here slowly."

Liu Yumei was so worried about her sister that she was being completely manipulated. She started to walk forward, but just then, a large hand stopped her.

"Ms. Liu," Chen Zheng reminded her from the side. "Your sister is already in his hands. If you're taken hostage as well, the entire Liu Family will be in jeopardy."

Only then did Liu Yumei have a sudden realization. If she was also captured, her entire family would be at risk. With both the Eldest and Second Misses as hostages, everyone else would be forced to submit.

"You again, you bastard!" Dai Wushuang roared furiously.

"Fine, you don't have to come over. Give the contracts to that guy and have him crawl over here with them!" A vicious glint appeared in Dai Wushuang's eyes.

In his mind, Chen Zheng was the sole reason he had ended up in this predicament. This was the perfect opportunity to exact his revenge and humiliate him.

"Dai Wushuang, I'm warning you, don't push your luck!" Liu Yumei yelled angrily.

"Me, pushing my luck?" he sneered. "Hahaha! Then let's see what happens. We'll find out if I'm pushing my luck, or if this gun in my hand has no eyes!" Dai Wushuang's expression turned vicious. He pressed the pistol to Liu Yuling's chin and flipped off the safety.

"Don't you dare!" Liu Yumei cried out, her anxiety peaking. "Mr. Chen..."

She turned to look at him, completely at a loss. After all, her sister was at his mercy. In a situation like this, she truly had no idea what to do.

Chen Zheng just smiled faintly and casually took the contracts from her.

Seeing this, Dai Wushuang grinned triumphantly, as if he had already won. "Very good. You know what's good for you, kid. Now, get on your knees for me..."

But before he could finish his sentence, Chen Zheng casually ripped the contracts in his hands to shreds.
