After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Dou Dizhu is the Least Challenging Card Game

Ji Tian thought carefully and nodded in agreement, "It's time to waste a few useless islands in the Pacific; it can help reduce some financial burden for my brother so that the money doesn't end up benefiting someone else by accident."

Baldie looked at Ji Tian as if she were an idiot. Could she have been frightened silly?

Being scared silly would really be worthless.

So, he took out his cellphone and asked Ji Tian for her family's phone number. Ji Tian thought they would untie her, so she could find a way to subdue these three men. However, they were very cautious and turned on the speakerphone, letting her speak as such.

The phone rang for nearly half a minute before it was answered. Ji Lingyun's cold voice came through, "Who is it?"

Ji Tian, receiving a warning look from Baldie, immediately said, "Big brother, it's me."

Ji Lingyun's cold mood shifted, becoming slightly anxious, "Where are you?"

"I've been kidnapped. The kidnappers want you to pay a ransom of a hundred thousand to release me, or else they will kill me."

Ji Lingyun was silent for five seconds before slowly saying, "Address."

Baldie snorted coldly, "The address is on the top of Jingming Mountain outside the Capital City; if you dare call the police, you know the consequences."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Ji Tian looked at his sweat-soaked palms and gently reminded him, "Big brother, don't be afraid in our line of work as kidnappers, just go for it."

Baldie: "..."

He glared at her annoyingly, "It's none of your business, mind your own!"

Then he called the other two brothers to play Fight the Landlord.

The old man with white hair spoke again, and he requested to lower: "I don't want your gold chain anymore. How about this, ransom me too, and I'll teach you half of what I know?"

Ji Tian leaned towards Qin Jiangsheng, "You might as well be welded here."

White-haired old man: "..."

Don't they say that the flowers of the motherland are kind? How comes the one he met was different.

Ji Tian continued to curry favor with Qin Jiangsheng, "Qin Jiangsheng, I won't abandon you. When my brothers come, I'll take you with me."

The Bai Family wouldn't care about his wellbeing; they probably wouldn't waste a man to look for him if he went missing.

Qin Jiangsheng had seen a lot of coldness; their most common thing was to kick someone while they were down, making sure they could not get back up.

But Ji Tian was the first person in such a dire situation still willing to reach out to him.

It seemed... she wasn't so annoying after all.

The waiting was boring; Jingming Mountain was still far from the Capital City. It would take four hours by car or perhaps quicker by plane.

Now it was only eight in the evening, and in four hours it would be midnight, she was already falling asleep.

So, she got up and hopped behind Fei Long, watching them play Fight the Landlord.

Fei Long furrowed his brows, worry causing his triple chin to show. He had a pair of threes, a two, and a four in his hand, and he didn't know how to play to win since he was the landlord.

Ji Tian quickly glanced at the table and advised him, "Play the pair of threes directly, then follow with the two, and you'll win."

Their focused attention was startled by her sudden interjection.

Fei Long looked at her suspiciously, "Why should I trust you?"

Ji Tian tilted her chin up, "They don't have a pair in their hands, nor do they have the big or small king."

Bald threw his cards onto the table, and just as Ji Tian had said, both he and Skinny didn't have a pair; he got somewhat angry, "Did you peek at our cards?"

Ji Tian tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Is that even necessary to look? It's too easy."

In the past, when Ji Tian was bored, she had mastered all kinds of leisure card games on her phone.

Baldie couldn't believe it and looked Ji Tian up and down, "A little girl like you also plays this?"

"Fight the Landlord is the easiest card game."

"Oh, you're young, but you talk big! How much do you play? It's not even hard for you, yet you're still showing off."

Before Ji Tian crossed over, she had just won ten billion Joy Beans in her gaming account. She loved to gamble, betting all her beans. If she won, she doubled her stake; if she lost, she lost it all. But it wasn't a problem; she could watch ads to collect another three thousand beans and continue the battle.

She declared solemnly, "Ten billion."

Skinny: "..."

Fei Long: "..."

Baldie: "..." @@novelbin@@

Skinny was shocked. "Do your family members allow you to gamble so much?!"

Ji Tian was equally puzzled. "Why not? I have my phone, don't I? I play whenever I want. Who's going to stop me?"

Fei Long was shocked. "What? You gamble with your phone on such a large scale? Isn't your family newly rich? You play like you belong to a top-tier wealthy family."

Ji Tian: "..."

She was from a wealthy family.

Her stomach growled from hunger, and she asked, "Is there anything to eat?"

The three men snapped back to reality. Whether she was from a wealthy family didn't matter; they had kidnapped her, and she was their captive, just waiting for her family to pay the ransom.

Skinny responded irritably, "No!"

Since junior high, the one thing Ji Tian couldn't stand was being hungry.

Back then, she had learned to fight off scum to protect her food. Even if she ended up with a bruised face and nose, she wouldn't let go. Only when she was full could she survive.

"I want to eat."

Baldie scoffed, "You think this is your home, or are you still playing the lady? We won't indulge you."

After that, he resumed playing Fight the Landlord with the others.

Ji Tian tested the ropes binding her wrists and with a fierce pull, the ropes snapped, but her hands bled from the constriction, leaving bruise marks on her fair skin, which looked rather scary.

Ji Tian pinched her hands, testing her strength, then turned her gaze toward the three men: "I said I was hungry and wanted to eat. Do you really want me to solve this with violence?"

The three men were genuinely stunned this time. Fei Long looked at the thick broken rope and involuntarily took a step back.

Even characters from "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" would struggle to break these ropes.

Baldie tried to calm his comrades: "Don't panic. It's just one of her against the three of us. First, let's restrain her so that the 100,000 doesn't slip away!"

In the interest of striking it rich, the three decided to tie her up again without injuring Ji Tian.

They rushed at her all at once.

Half an hour later...

Baldie, with a swollen head, asked, "Big bro, how about some tomatoes and eggs?"

Skinny, with a swollen face, said, "Can we have stir-fried pork with peppers?"

Fei Long, tears streaming down his face, said, "We're almost out of rice, how about some watery porridge?"

Ji Tian sat on a broken chair, nodding nonchalantly: "Anything is fine. You have twenty minutes. If the food isn't ready, you know the consequences."

The kidnapper trio: "..."

The familiar dialogue, the familiar scene, only the roles of the parties had been reversed.

She gave a meaningful look: "A little consideration, guys. My good brother is still tied up."

Fei Long hurried to untie Qin Jiangsheng, then, fearing a beating, went to cook watery porridge in the back.

Qin Jiangsheng's gaze was deep and unreadable, suddenly finding Ji Tian rather inscrutable.

The old man with white hair, seeing Ji Tian as a treasure said, "How about I teach you Ancient Medicine for free and not charge you anything?"
