Keeping the promise

Chapter 149: Calm and Circumvent

"Found it!" Yan Ze shouted excitedly.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Zheng Wancheng's eyes, and she stared closely at the location displayed on the screen. It was an abandoned factory on the edge of the city.

"Let's set off immediately!" Zheng Wancheng said decisively.

They quickly prepared everything and drove towards the abandoned factory. Along the way, Zheng Wancheng's heart was filled with worry and anxiety, and she prayed that Irene would be safe.

Meanwhile, Irene slowly woke up from her coma. Her head was still a little dizzy, but her consciousness was gradually becoming clearer. She tried hard to recall what had happened before, and roughly guessed her current situation.

She found herself in a dark and damp room, with the walls emitting a rotten smell. Irene calmed down and thought that she had encountered many dangers and difficulties in her years of working abroad, so she must not panic.

She raised her head calmly, her eyes falling on the mysterious man in the mask in front of her. The man was tall and majestic, the mask covered most of his face, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.

Irene took a deep breath and asked in a calm but firm voice, "Who sent you?"

The masked man was silent for a moment and did not answer immediately. The atmosphere in the room became extremely oppressive, as if the air had frozen.

Irene stared at the masked man closely, without any fear in her eyes. She knew that being afraid was useless in this situation, and only by staying calm and brave could she find a way to deal with it.

The masked man seemed surprised by Irene's calmness. He slowly said, "You don't need to know who sent me. You just need to know that you are under my control now."

Irene sneered, "Humph, so what even if it's under your control?"

The masked man narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.

The man seemed a little impatient. He said viciously, "Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. Irene, hand over the shares of the Ai family obediently, and I can make you suffer less."

Irene raised the corners of her mouth slightly with a hint of sarcasm: "Do you think I will hand over the shares to you so easily? That's ridiculous."

The man's eyes became more ferocious. He took a step forward and threatened, "Don't force me to do it."

Irene did not flinch at all. She straightened her spine and said, "You can try, but I tell you, you won't succeed."

At this moment, Ai Lin was convinced that Zheng Wancheng would find her soon after knowing she was missing. She had to buy time and wait for rescue.

"Hmph, don't think anyone will come to save you. You are too naive." The man seemed to see through Irene's thoughts.

"That's not necessarily true. Zheng Wancheng won't ignore me." Irene responded.

The man laughed in anger: "Even if she comes, what can she do? Do you think she can save you?"

Irene no longer paid attention to his words and continued to stalemate with him. Because he knew that his purpose was equity, he would not kill her easily. As time passed, Irene silently prayed in her heart that Zheng Wancheng could find her quickly.

Seeing that Irene refused to give in, the man gradually became anxious and began to pace back and forth in the room.

Irene looked at the man who was becoming increasingly anxious, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. She stared at the man sharply and asked again, "Tell me, who sent you here?"

The man frowned, but still didn't answer.

Irene raised the corner of her mouth slightly and continued, "It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I can give you double the price as long as you let me go. How about that?"

When the man heard this, he was obviously stunned for a moment, but soon shook his head firmly and said, "No."

Irene chuckled and said sarcastically, "Oh, that's ridiculous. What morals do a bunch of bandits have? Shouldn't you be wise and act accordingly?"

The man's face became even gloomier. He glared at Irene fiercely and said, "Don't try to provoke me with such words. I have my principles and tasks."

Irene shrugged and said casually, "What principle? The principle of doing whatever it takes for money?"

The man clenched his fists, as if trying to control his emotions. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't talk nonsense, hand over your shares quickly, or you will be in trouble."

Irene continued to confront the man calmly, but at this moment, the man's cell phone suddenly vibrated.

He quickly took out his cell phone and checked the message, his expression instantly becoming extremely gloomy and terrifying.

There was a madness in his eyes, and he suddenly turned around and began to splash gasoline around. The pungent smell of gasoline quickly spread in the air, and Irene's heart sank suddenly, and a trace of panic flashed across her face.

"What are you doing?" Irene shouted, her voice trembling.

The man did not answer, but continued to pour gasoline frantically, and soon a large area of ​​the floor in the room was soaked with gasoline.

Irene's brain was working fast, thinking of ways to deal with it. She tried to slowly retreat, trying to find a relatively safe corner. But at this time, the room was filled with a strong smell of gasoline, and the dangerous atmosphere enveloped her tightly.

"Don't do this! It won't do you any good!" Irene tried to persuade the man, but the man seemed to have completely lost his mind and ignored her.
