The man remained unmoved and sneered, "Now that you have had an affair with Lu Zhengbei, he will no doubt be worried if he knows you've been kidnapped. Don't you think so?"After finishing his words, he pulled over a chair and calmly sat opposite her. He looked at her with a calm and composed expression, determined to play mind games with her.When Tang Mengyu heard his words, she thought that he had changed his mind and was trying to test her again. As a result, she replied hurriedly, "Yes, he must be anxious."Of course, she knew that Lu Zhengbei did not care about her at all and that the person who would be anxious was Lu Zhengnan."How worried he'll be if he finds out that I'm missing!"She did not want to see Lu Zhengnan suffering. That feeling was like a knife piercing her heart, a hundred times more painful than being beaten here.Thinking of this, she felt a pain like there was something biting at her heart madly, riddling it with wounds.Seeing her sad expression, the c
Lu Zhengnan frowned tightly, his eyes full of coldness."Zhengbei isn't very reliable and there's not enough time," he said word by word.Indeed, even if he took the plane immediately, he would need at least a dozen hours to get from China to Los Angeles. The kidnappers had not yet given a specific time and place. If they wanted to meet in a few hours, Lu Zhengbei would not be able to appear in time."What's more, Lu Zhengbei isn't reliable or clever. He may be my Achilles' heel rather than a helping hand."I could have considered letting him come here, if Mengyu were not involved in it. Now there must be no mistakes!"For Lu Zhengnan, what mattered most was his wife's safety rather than the protection of his identity.Wang Yuhai knew his concerns and asked with an air of amusement, "Are you afraid that there might be some mistake that will make you lose your wife?"Hearing this, Lu Zhengnan looked much sulkier and rolled his eyes."Isn't he rubbing salt in the wound?"Knowing
Lu Zhengnan saw that there was a strange number on the cell phone. He quickly picked it up and said in a deep voice, "Hello, this is Lu Zhengbei.""Is the money ready?" the man at the other end of the phone asked coldly and concisely, as if not wanting to waste any word."It's ready," Lu Zhengnan replied calmly."It's good you agree with us. At midnight you should take the money to the dock, find a yacht numbered 33, and wait for the notice there."As soon as he finished his words, the man hung up the phone, not allowing Lu Zhengnan to ask more questions.Lu Zhengnan looked down at the time on the phone. His eyes were now sharp and indifferent, and his face was as gloomy as the canopy before a rainstorm."Mengyu, wait some more time. I'll try my best to save you," Lu Zhengnan lowered his head and said to himself.In a small, dark room:After being beaten for a long time, Tang Mengyu's left face was still red and swollen while her cheek seemed to have been burned by fire, and he
This time, the scarred man hit the right side of Tang Mengyu's face, leaving a new five-fingered mark. The wound inside her mouth, which had already stopped bleeding, cracked open again. Bright red blood flowed down from the corners of her mouth, mixing with the tear stains on her face and making her face look even more appalling."How dare you lie to me!" The man glared at her and scolded her in a furious and even slightly jocular manner, "B*tch! If I don't beat you today, I'll have to apologize to you tomorrow!"After that, he lifted his right leg and kicked Tang Mengyu's belly directly. She was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat and her teeth chattered, but she just bit her lower lip tightly without making a sound.When the scarred man looked at her, the anger in his heart grew stronger. He punched her twice more, and then his anger subsided.At this moment, because of the mistreatment of the scarred man, Tang Mengyu went as pale as a ghost, and her hair was in a
At this, Lu Zhengbei raised his eyebrows arrogantly and sneered, "Are you an idiot? Why don't you just dump the soup and tell my mom that I have drunk it completely?"Lu Zhengbei thought that this must be a good idea, therefore he glanced at the servant with a proud look.Just as he finished speaking, the servant shook his head like a rattle. With a sincere expression on his face, he said, "Third Young Master, I would never dare to do anything like this. I can't afford to let Madam know that I have lied to her. I have to make a living for my family. They are all waiting for my salary every month. If Madam blames me and makes me lose my job, then it would be a disaster for my family. I beg you for your mercy and forgiveness."The servant's cautious and fearful look made Lu Zhengbei feel even more agitated. He had always hated having to face anyone nagging him incessantly. This servant was so persistent that Lu Zhengbei could not get rid of him no matter how hard he tried.He then re
In Los Angeles.As the black car sped through the downtown area, neon lights passed through the car windows, and the mottled lights and shadows flashed in the driver's eyes.Following the kidnappers' instructions, the driver gradually drove the car to the road in the suburbs, leaving the bustling city behind.At this moment, the kidnapper on the other end of the phone gave a new order, "Stop your car 500 meters ahead and get into the blue Ford parked at the side of the road.""Okay," Lu Zhengnan replied drily.His face was taut, making his facial expression cold and tough, while his eyes were grim.After driving forward for some distance, as expected, he found the blue Ford mentioned by the kidnappers.The kidnappers' intentions were obvious: They were worried that the car was loaded with a tracking device. If Lu Zhengnan abandoned the car, they could temporarily eliminate this potential hidden danger.Lu Zhengnan calmly sat in the driver's seat of the Ford. Just as he was abou
He turned a circle around Lu Zhengnan and said, "Let me fix the locator inside your hair."However, just as he raised his hand and was about to fix it, he heard Lu Zhengnan say, "The hair is not a safe place either.""Where else can I put it?" Wang Yuhai looked down at his chest and said half-jokingly, "You don't have cleavage, so I can't hide the locator down there."Lu Zhengnan was really amazed by Wang Yuhai's 'good' sense of humor. At such a critical moment, he was still in the mood to joke. No wonder he was believed to have built up his own interpersonal network which extended to fields like the police, military circle, and gangsterdom. His psychological strength and social skills were really extraordinary.After pausing for a few seconds, Lu Zhengnan raised his hand, pointed to his ear, and said seriously, "Keep it here.""Are you crazy? This is not a cotton ball. What if it breaks your eardrums?"Wang Yuhai was shocked by Lu Zhengnan's words. He had not expected that his b
The tall man was relatively calm. He quickly came back to his senses, took out a dagger from his pocket, and poked it at the woman’s slender neck, threatening, “Give us your money or I will slice her pretty throat.”At the words, the yellow-haired man also raised the iron rod in his hand with a scary look in his eyes.With boundless hatred burning in his heart, Lu Zhengnan was giving off a chilling vibe, flames of anger rushing from his deep-set eye sockets.Meanwhile, in another room:Upon seeing that the red dot on the screen had suddenly stopped moving, Zhaoshu hurried to ask Wang Yuhai, "Has Young Master arrived?"A moment ago, as Lu Zhengnan had stopped to change the vehicle twice and accept a security check, his location had not moved for a short while. Therefore, both Zhaoshu and Wang Yuhai were now acting cautiously for fear that an impulsive action would alert the enemy.“Let’s wait for a minute.” With a calm look on his face, Wang Yuhai suggested, “If Zhengnan’s locatio
