My Youth Began With Him (Web Novel)
chapter-1986

“Fine, fine… Even if I turned around, you can’t run away.” The man firmly believed that Pudding would not run away.

“Of course. I will never leave my own sister behind.”

“Such a smart brat… You have good brains…” The man actually showed respect for this three-year-old kid.

Pudding squatted down to poo. She was still looking around to see if there was a way out.

At the same time, she continued to ask the man, “Hey, big stupid guy, of all the things you can do, why did you become a kidnapper?”

“Big stupid guy? Me?” the man called Dahai said in shock.

“Of course you. There’s only you and me here. Do you think I’m talking to a ghost?” Pudding asked arrogantly.

Pudding’s words put the man in astonishment.

“What? Is my question that hard to answer?”

“Being a good guy is useless. I was a good guy before but people looked down on me… I have a good grasp of this world now: no matter what you do, results are everything. As long as you have money, regardless of where the money came from, you are superior to everyone else. If you don’t have money, even if you’re a moral person, you won’t end up well… If Robinhood was alive, he would be cursed at and deemed useless because he was poor.”

This man was distressed so he continued to complain to Pudding.

“Do you know that good and evil will always be rewarded? According to the Three Character Classic, ‘Man at birth is fundamentally good in nature’. I believe your nature is good but life pressured you towards evil. Am I right?”

“Life pressured me? Yeah… Haha… If I had a choice, I wouldn’t choose to do this.”

“Big stupid guy. You just want money right. From my perspective, you’re just a worthless underling here… I think even if Daddy brings in the ransom money, you won’t get much… your boss is going to get everything. How about you work with me instead?”

“Work with you? Don’t kid me…” the man was about to turn around.

“Don’t turn around. You’ll see my everything and I’ll be mad,” Pudding reminded.

“Haha, okay, okay… I won’t turn around. I won’t see anything of yours. Don’t get cranky.” The man suddenly realized that this kid was very funny. Even though she was still a kid, she sounded like an adult.

“So do you want to work with me?” Pudding asked calmly.

“How?” the man asked jokingly. He obviously wasn’t taking her seriously.

“You can find a chance to let us go. I’ll have my daddy give you a lot of money… For instance, if you were to get two million Yuan from this abduction, I’ll have Daddy give you ten times that amount. Given our example, you’ll get 20 million. It’s a good deal, isn’t it?”

“Yes, it sounds like a good deal.” The “big stupid guy” laughed.

There was a blink of hope in Pudding’s heart. She continued to say, “Don’t worry, I don’t lie. As long as you let us go, Daddy will repay you with kindness. He won’t alert the police so you can get the money without any worries. You’ll be able to live a good life. However, if you were to get the ransom money, you’ll become a wanted criminal. Even if you have the money at that time, you would still need to live in secret, hiding from the hunt. I know you understand which one seems more beneficial to you.”

Pudding told him her analysis of the current situation calmly.

This man suddenly realized that the kid in front of him made a lot of sense.

With a choice, no one would want to become a wanted criminal that would need to hide.

Pudding saw that he was wavering on his decision so she continued to say, “Technology is very advanced nowadays. The police can easily catch you guys… Kidnapping is also a huge criminal offense. If you get caught, you would probably be imprisoned for ten or more years. I don’t think you’re that old. Do you really want to waste your youth in prison? You have family right? Your parents and grandparents would be worried sick for you…”

“Shut up, you brat! Don’t talk anymore!”

Pudding’s words had touched the heart of this man. He realized that he couldn’t take it anymore.
