Chapter 852 - 877: Never Back Down (7)
Her words were firm and decisive, each syllable snapping out, and Reece Lee was momentarily stunned.
A long-distance driver for decades, bored on the road, yet not oblivious to the world.
He knew Cody Jackson, and naturally followed the news about Chili Town’s earthquake. It never crossed his mind that this girl had such a background.
Thinking it over again, they had kidnapped the young lady, making it easy to believe much of what she said.
But—
It only made him more hesitant to talk to her.
Reece Lee raised his hand again to gag her, but Mia Ginger swiftly stepped back, continuing, "You won’t get the money by sticking with them. My dad’s the type who’ll definitely send you to jail. You have a daughter waiting for treatment back home; you’re only doing this for money. Collaborating with them won’t help you; helping me will. I can give you money and help you save your daughter. Think it over carefully!"
"Help you? If I help you escape, I’ll end up in jail?" Reece Lee finally said something.
Looking at her impatiently, his expression carried a hint of mocking her plans, clearly disbelieving.
Mia Ginger stared fixedly at him, feeling slightly relieved, and pushed ahead, "If something happens to me, you won’t get any money. If nothing happens to me, and you get the money, you’ll still end up in jail. You have a family and you can’t run away. If your daughter finds out you committed a crime for her, she won’t acknowledge you anymore. You’re ruining your whole family. Protecting me is the only way to truly help you. This is your one path!"
"Sweet-talker!"
Mia Ginger lowered her head in front of him, "The necklace around my neck is worth over a million, consider it as my sincerity."
Reece Lee paused, raised his hand, and yanked the pendant from her neck.
"Old mine glass-type jade, you should understand its value just by hearing the name. I said I’d help you, and I’ll do it. My word is my bond, as long as you help me..."
"Uncle Lee!"
A distant shout interrupted their conversation.
Ford briskly approached, "What are you two talking about here?"
Fortunately, Uncle Ron was clever, saying this truck originally belonged to Reece Lee. If he drove away thinking of keeping the million for himself, things might go bad, urging him to come back and guard it together. Luckily, he returned; otherwise, this person would have been let go!
Reece Lee put both hands in his pockets and got off the truck, saying coolly, "This girl was banging against the carriage, so I opened the door. She said she wanted to use the bathroom!"
"Use the bathroom?" Ford smirked, "Brother, do you want to take her to the bathroom?"
Mia Ginger shook her head vigorously, biting her lip.
Ford grabbed a rag and stuffed it in her mouth, "Stop playing tricks, hold it if you want to go!"
As he finished speaking, with a bang, he slammed the door shut again.
Standing beside him, Reece Lee rubbed the jade in his hand with his rough fingers, smooth and warm beyond belief.
He obviously understood it was no ordinary item.
The value of this pendant had already far exceeded what he needed.
He had the money now.
Since he had money now, he...
He had to leave!
A spark lit up in his mind, and Reece Lee decisively made up his mind.
What the girl inside said was true; kidnapping was a road to ruin, especially since she was not a nobody. Crushing them would be as easy as crushing an ant, wouldn’t it?
Regardless of whether he got the money, no good awaited him, nor his daughter Zara and his mom.
No way!
He couldn’t allow such a thing to happen.
Not only should the kidnapping not continue, but he must also leave Cloud Capital overnight.
And he couldn’t take the train; train tickets require real names, and there aren’t any buses now either.
