She picked it up and saw that it was Brook calling. “Hello, Mr. Linton.” “Is this Ellen Reiss? Mr. Linton just got hit by someone and is in the hospital. Can you cover?” “What? Is it serious? Which hospital?” Ellen asked anxiously. “He broke his leg, but it’s not that serious. He's at General Hospital. Cover quickly!” Ellen grabbed her bag from the couch, held her phone tightly, and rushed out. Brook was already seventy years old this year and couldn't afford to take a hit like this! At this moment, outside the hospital, several people who looked like gang members were smoking and chatting in a black MPV “Will this trick work? Will it attract this girl Over?” “I heard she’s Brook's direct disciple. She'll definitely come.” “This girl is really pretty, huh?” “What the-What are you thinking? Before we get the money, you can’t mess around! Remember the five hundred thousand! After we get the money, you can sleep with whatever woman you like.” There was laughter in the car as they dreamt of getting a large sum. Kidnapping someone wasn’t their first time.
The leader's phone rang, and he answered, “Hello!” “Boss, that girl just got out of the taxi and is walking towards the hospital! Should we take action now?” “No, wait until she finishes visiting Brook and comes out. Besides, we have someone to help us, and he'll bring her to us.” Ellen walked quickly towards the ward, pushed open the Er. and saw Brook sitting there with a bandage wrapped around his leg. Two disciples from the chess club were taking care of him.
“Ellen, why did you come? It's just a minor injury!” Brook felt sorry for her making the trip. “Who hit you?” Ellen sat down and angrily asked.
At this moment, a gentle-looking young man with glasses walked in and apologized, “I'm sorry, it was me. | didn’t mean to do it. I accidentally knocked him down.” Ellen glared at him and then asked about Brook's condition. The doctor suggested that Brook should be observed in the hospital for two days. After chatting for twenty minutes, Brook insisted that she head back first and he would call if there was an emergency. So, Ellen finally left with relief. As she exited the room, she saw the man who hit Brook standing outside the door.
“I'm sorry, miss. | didn’t mean to hit him. | will take full responsibility for the medical expenses, the man said apologetically.

He immediately pressed the elevator button for her and said, “Okay, don’t worry. | will not shirk my responsibility.” He then handed her his business card, which had his phone number and address.
Ellen took the card and left the elevator quickly. The man followed her and asked, “Miss, where are you going? Can | give you a ride?” “No, thanks,” Ellen rejected.
The man followed Ellen out all the way, and just as she stood at the intersection, a black MPV suddenly stopped in front of her. The door opened, and she thought someone was getting off, but unexpectedly a huge force pushed her towards the van compartment from behind, and a man inside quickly stretched out his hands and pulled her in with great strength.
Ellen could not call for help. She was pushed into the van, and the person who knocked Brook over also got in.
Her hands and feet were pressed and bound no matter how she struggled, and even her mouth was taped.
