She knew she should pretend to be clueless right now, to make the kidnapper lower his guard, but she just couldn't do it.
Just like a climber who has slipped into an abyss, thrown a vine by someone above. Despite knowing that the hope of climbing up was slim, she still yearned for the sky.
But because she was dehydrated, her tears merely pooled in her eyes.
The kidnapper gave her a kick: "Still alive?"
Lu Weixi knew that this was the time for her to negotiate for her own benefit. Moreover, Qin Zhiyou's arrival meant he at least knew she was near the northwest reservoir.
She called out weakly: "Water... water... I need water."
Upon hearing her voice, Qin Zhiyou immediately raised his own: "Xixi, Xixi, what's wrong with you Xixi! I'll be there soon, don't be afraid! I'm coming over to get you!" He then roared at the kidnappers: "I've brought the money, cash for the release, if she dies, I'd rather throw the money into the water than give it to you!"
