“Why not?” Lu Beichen asked.
Gu Jingze already put on his coat at top speed. “Who would ask for only five hundred Euros for kidnapping?”
“…”
Alright then. It looked like they met with a rip-off this time.
“Damn. Who dares to rip us off? I’ll go have a word with them.”
“That’s enough. You better think of how you’re going to answer to Bernard. I heard that his manor was burned to ashes and half of his property was burned down.”
“…” Lu Beichen’s feat yesterday was still not over.
But after returning and settling Gu Jingyan down, he heard that Lin Che went missing. How could he possibly care about anything else?
No matter what, he wanted to find Lin Che.
“I’ll go with you. I’ll pay the five hundred Euros and then help you teach that bastard a lesson.”
Lu Beichen followed after him and simply hopped into Gu Jingze’s car.
As they did not want to shock the person, they did not bring anyone with them.
It was just the two of them with their chauffeur driving them to the red light district.

Meanwhile, at Lin Che’s side.
Sitting there now, she saw that the girl kept looking at her. She asked, “Why do you keep looking at me?”
“Oh, it’s nothing. Right, these are all my friends. Tony, Martin, and Murray.”
“Is it? Hello.”
“Yes. We roam around here and pull in customers from time to time.”
“Why roam around?” Lin Che asked strangely.
“We ran away from home.”
“…” Lin Che looked at her and was unable to understand. She hadn’t eaten the whole morning and felt hungry. She asked, “Can we go get some food?”
“Okay. Do you have money on you?”
“No…” Lin Che looked at them. “Go buy some food first. I’ll return you the money when my family gets here, okay?”
She looked at Lin Che and nodded.
The few of them walked outside and looked at the breakfast windows. Lin Che chose the food she wanted to eat.
The strange-looking breakfast didn’t really spike Lin Che’s appetite.
Then, she saw a Chinese restaurant. She quickly said, “Oh my, I want to eat that!”
The girl at the back asked, “Boss, you really know how to pick the most expensive things. All the shops around here are very cheap. Why did you pick that?”
“They don’t really suit my taste… I’ll pay you back when my family comes!”
She replied, “Okay then.”
The two of them went in.
“What would you like to have?” A lady inside looked at them and asked.
Lin Che wondered why she hadn’t seen this Chinese restaurant earlier? She could have come to them for help.
It was probably because she didn’t quite dare to venture too far, so she didn’t walk here.
“Boiled fish… lamb kidney, sautéed shredded meat…”
“Okay, payment first.”
“Huh? Why?”
The lady boss narrowed her eyes at these kids. “These dishes are very expensive. How do I know that you kids won’t run away after eating? You must show me that you have the money.”
“Are you kidding me? You look down on us?” Lin Che asked.
The lady boss scoffed, “Why don’t you show me your money now?”
