Kidnapper system: kidnapped girls all become yanderes

By the way, I just completed the kidnapping mission, but I don't know what the mission reward is. Let's take a look now.

Ye Feng couldn't wait to open the system and saw that the only task on his mission list was marked as completed.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. The mission reward will now be issued…]

[Reward: 15 days of life extension and a collection of illustrations.]

Wait... That's it? I risked my life for such a dangerous mission, and all I get is an extra half a month of life?

Ye Feng was so angry he wanted to curse, but at least he no longer had to worry about dying suddenly.

But aside from the extra 15 days of life, what's the deal with this collection of illustrations? What's the use of this thing?

When Ye Feng opened the system and accessed the illustrations, he found that every page was filled with question marks, and the word "locked" appeared prominently. Except for a 1% progress indicator on the first page, there was no other movement.

Tsk... What the hell is this? There's no explanation, just a cryptic symbol. How unlucky am I to have a system like this?

[Ding! A new mission has been issued.]

What? Another mission? You're treating me like a beast of burden!

Although Ye Feng was reluctant, he had no choice if he wanted to survive.

Several tasks appeared on the screen. Ye Feng studied them for a long time before understanding their requirements.

Get close to Li Mucheng to gather more information.Progress in collecting illustrations (each stage represents 20% of a page; completing a stage unlocks challenges and additional rewards).Kidnap the target, Su Yuxin.

...

Ye Feng quickly skimmed through the tasks and came to a conclusion.

This cursed system isn't even human! But I guess it's not supposed to be…

"Excuse me…"

At that moment, Li Mucheng, who was handcuffed to the floor, murmured softly, interrupting Ye Feng's thoughts.

"What is it?"

"What's your purpose? If you don't want money or status, why did you kidnap me?"

"Hah! What if I just felt like it? How can you, a hostage, bargain with me?"

Ye Feng was genuinely perplexed by Li Mucheng's attitude. He had gone through a lot of trouble to kidnap this rich girl. Even though the mission was complete, how was he supposed to escape now? Especially with another task requiring him to get closer to her.

Ah, I get it.

Initially, Li Mucheng had been terrified of the gangster before her. His skills were far superior to her bodyguards, and he seemed so familiar with her daily life that he must have been observing her for a long time.

Was he her father's enemy? But he didn't seem interested in her father's assets. Or maybe he was a greedy thief? But he didn't covet status either. Could it be... he wanted her?

Li Mucheng's face turned pale as these thoughts ran through her mind. At the same time, she secretly hoped reinforcements were on their way. One reason she wasn't completely panicked was that a tracker was hidden among her belongings. Perhaps her father was already en route with help.

"I'm sorry… I'm sorry…"

Li Mucheng tried to appear weak and timid, hoping to convince Ye Feng she wasn't a threat so she could remain safe.

"Oh~"

Ye Feng observed her reaction and suddenly grew intrigued. From what he understood, Li Mucheng had an aloof personality, indifferent to everything like a block of ice.

It was a pity that such a beautiful girl had a perpetually stoic expression.

At that moment, Ye Feng's playful side began to surface. He decided to toy with her for a while before looking for an opportunity to escape and approach her with a proper identity to complete his mission.

Knock, knock, knock.

The sound he dreaded finally came. A shadowy figure approached, and then a man wearing a half-fox mask stepped into view.

"I didn't notice before, but now I can see clearly. Miss Li, you're truly beautiful. No wonder they call you the Cold Beauty."

"You… What are you planning to do?"

"Do I even need to say it? Anyone with a brain can figure it out."

Li Mucheng was completely panicked now. She couldn't allow such a vile man to defile her. She'd rather die than let that happen!

As Ye Feng approached step by step, Li Mucheng even considered biting her tongue to end it all. But at that moment, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

How could a delicate flower, sheltered in a greenhouse her entire life, withstand the ravages of a storm? Even the so-called Cold Beauty couldn't stop herself from crying in the end.

Am I taking this too far? It's probably time to back off. If I drag this out, things might get out of hand.

Ye Feng glanced at Li Mucheng, her teary eyes making her even more enchanting. Even he found himself captivated by her appearance in that moment of vulnerability.

"Ha, this is almost too easy."

At that moment, a sharp voice called out from the factory entrance, followed by several armed men stepping out of the shadows with smug expressions.

More troublemakers?

Ye Feng froze for a moment, turning to face the newcomers. Clearing his throat, he asked, "May I ask what brings you all here? Shouldn't we be following the rules of the underworld?"

"Rules? What nonsense are you talking about?" the leader sneered. "I know who sent you, kid. Let me be clear—our eyes have been on that woman for a long time, and you've meddled in our affairs. Hand her over now."

???

Ye Feng frowned in confusion and glanced at Li Mucheng, who also looked bewildered.

"You know these guys?"

Li Mucheng blinked and shook her head.

"I don't know them... Aren't they your colleagues?"

"I wouldn't associate with anyone this ugly."

That comment reached the leader's ears, and he smashed a nearby crate in rage.

"Kid, you'd better take me seriously! Brothers, get him!"

As the gang charged, Ye Feng sighed.

"Tsk… More trouble."

He turned to Li Mucheng, cut the ropes binding her hands with a dagger, and said, "Find somewhere safe to hide. Don't ask questions."

"Wait, aren't you going to use me as a hostage?"

Li Mucheng had expected to be taken as leverage, but to her surprise, Ye Feng freed her without hesitation. She was momentarily stunned.

"I already have you tied up," Ye Feng replied flatly.

"Huh?"

"Go play somewhere else!"

Pushing her aside, Ye Feng sprang into action, swiftly knocking out two attackers.

Glancing back, he saw Li Mucheng peeking out from behind a stack of crates. Relieved, he muttered to himself.

Good thing she's fine. If anything had happened to her, how would I have completed my mission?

Maybe I really will become the master of missions someday.
