Chapter 881 — Successful Deception

Zhen Yingjun did not doubt that the sanitary napkin on the ground was real — the cave was too dark to tell whether that was even blood. His only thought was that it defied common sense for two women to have their periods at the same time.

"You two came here together?" Zhen Yingjun frowned, looking from Shen Yushu to Gu Mengyao.

"Yes. Actually, we're Wei Zhao's senior and junior wives. We often have threesomes together. To make sure we could play twenty-five days a month, we deliberately used medicine to sync our periods..." Shen Yushu spoke primly, with a hint of shyness.

"Huh?" Zhen Yingjun was taken aback. "So you're not...?"

"Of course not." Shen Yushu gave Zhen Yingjun a contemptuous look. "We're both eighteen. How could we still be?"

"This..." Zhen Yingjun was genuinely confused by Shen Yushu, unable to tell whether she was telling the truth. But Gu Mengyao had indeed said earlier that if he laid a finger on them, Wei Zhao would kill him. Could they really be Wei Zhao's senior and junior wives?

Wasn't Wei Zhao just a bodyguard? Oh, right — a skilled doctor like Wei Zhao would be treated as an honored guest wherever he went. Even the Medicine King beside Zhao Qibing was respected by Young Master Bing. How could Wei Zhao be willing to be a lackey to two little girls?

If anyone claimed Wei Zhao had nothing to do with them, Zhen Yingjun himself would find it hard to believe. Looking at it now, Shen Yushu did not seem to be lying.

"You're not lying? Pull down your pants and let me check!" He could believe that Gu Mengyao had come on, but Shen Yushu had a sly, cunning air about her, so he was rather suspicious of her words.

"Oh, fine! I'll take it out and show you. Turn around first!" Shen Yushu said to Zhen Yingjun.

"Don't try any tricks. Pull them down and let me see!" Naturally, Zhen Yingjun was not about to turn around. He was afraid she might pull something.

"Fine, fine, I'll take it out and show you!" Shen Yushu turned around, quickly pulled something from inside her pants, and handed it to Zhen Yingjun. "Here..."

Seeing the bloody thing Shen Yushu handed him, Zhen Yingjun was so startled that he instinctively stepped back. He took a closer look — it really was a blood-stained sanitary napkin. He waved his hand again and again. "Take it away, take it away, get it away!"

He had a thing about blood; seeing it made him a little dizzy. But now he truly believed Shen Yushu — the two really were having their periods.

Shen Yushu tossed the blood-stained pad aside and shook her hand, making Zhen Yingjun dodge backward in fright again.

"Actually, if we weren't on our periods, we wouldn't mind letting you play with us — as long as you don't tell Wei Zhao!" Shen Yushu said with regret. "But you picked a bad day. Why not wait a few days? We're in your hands, anyway. A few more days won't make a difference to you, right?"

"Fuck! Fucking terrible luck! They actually came on!" Seeing he no longer had a chance, Zhen Yingjun ignored Shen Yushu's words and, cursing, tied Shen Yushu's hands and feet together again, then turned and bound Gu Mengyao as well.

He had an instinctive aversion to blood, so after tying the ropes he did not want to stay there any longer. He stood up and left the cave. But just as he reached the cave entrance, Zhen Yingjun suddenly broke into a grin.

"Wahahaha! Heaven itself wants me to make a fortune!" It suddenly struck Zhen Yingjun that if he did not touch Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, hadn't Gu Pengzhan promised him another fifty million?

Now that he calmed down and thought about it, spending fifty million on two little girls who weren't even virgins would be a huge loss. Money was the better choice! With fifty million in hand, what kind of woman could he not find?

Zhen Yingjun abandoned the idea of violating Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, and with that, much of his rationality returned. The more he thought about how impulsive he had been, the more he realized it was not a good deal. It was a blessing that the two girls had come on; otherwise, a single moment of pleasure would have cost him fifty million!

At that thought, Zhen Yingjun picked up his phone and dialed Gu Pengzhan's number once more.

Gu Pengzhan had just received the kidnapper's call and wanted to discuss countermeasures with Wei Zhao, but before he could speak, Qiu Lingshan's call came through first. Only after Wei Zhao and Qiu Lingshan finished their conversation did Gu Pengzhan say, "Xiao Yi, the kidnapper is asking for two hundred million yuan..."

"Then give it to him. I'm only afraid he'll have the money to take but not the life to spend it." Wei Zhao said coolly.

"That's what I think too. As long as it can buy Yao Yao and Xiao Shu's safety, I'll give him as much money as he wants!" Gu Pengzhan sighed. "But from the kidnapper's tone, he still has other intentions toward Yao Yao and Xiao Shu..."

This was also what worried Wei Zhao the most. He hoped the two girls could stall for as long as possible and wait for him to rescue them... Little Xiao Shu was clever and sharp-witted; she should be able to think of a way to handle it.

While the two were talking, Gu Pengzhan's phone rang again.

Gu Pengzhan looked at the caller ID with a grave expression. It was still that number with a string of zeros. He answered solemnly. "Hello?"

"Mr. Gu, after careful consideration, I've decided to accept your suggestion. Two hundred and fifty million, and I won't hurt your daughter or her best friend. What do you think of this proposal?" Zhen Yingjun truly considered himself lucky that he had not let lust get the better of him and taken Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu — if he had, the money would have been gone.

"Fine, fine, I agree — two hundred and fifty million!" Hearing the kidnapper's words, Gu Pengzhan was both astonished and overjoyed. He had already prepared for the worst, yet the kidnapper had unexpectedly agreed to his proposal. It seemed the kidnapper valued money after all.

Gu Pengzhan had no idea that it was Shen Yushu's bizarre fake-period stunt that had led Zhen Yingjun to give up the idea.

"Good, you're decisive! But I don't want it after the fact. I want you to give me all two hundred and fifty million in one lump sum. Any problem?" Zhen Yingjun knew that Gu Pengzhan had always had a good reputation, but that was only toward his business partners. Right now, he was playing the role of a kidnapper — how could he expect Gu to talk about keeping his word with a kidnapper?

"This..." Gu Pengzhan hesitated. At the moment, he had only a little over two hundred million in available funds, but if he borrowed from his business partners, he should be able to scrape it together.
