Chapter 221-1: Have a great time sinking
Xu Zhihong hinted with his eyes, and Hairy Ball happily pressed the speaker button. A restrained voice was heard.
“Hello? Is it Little Ye? Little Ye, are you alright?”
Hearing this voice, Yuan Ye’s consciousness jolted, because this was his father, Yuan Hewei’s voice, “Dad, I’m alright. Don’t worry, I haven’t been hurt.”
“That’s good then, is Tangtang there as well?” Yuan Hewei caringly asked.
“Uncle Yuan, I’m also here, they handcuffed us.” Said Tangtang as she angrily glared at Xu Zhihong.
A different voice was heard from the phone shouting, “Hello! Tangtang, it’s Daddy, don’t be afraid, Daddy will definitely save you!!”
“Dad, they have locked us in a…wu! Wuwu……”
Tangtang wanted to describe the pier where they were locked up at, but Hairy Ball who had been prepared for this directly covered Tangtang’s mouth and held Tangtang’s head still, ensuring that she couldn’t speak another word.
Tangtang wanted to bite his hand, but Hairy Ball’s hand was filthy and stinky, causing her to feel stifled, she didn’t dare to even think about biting anymore.
“Hehe, young lady, you can eat however way you like, but can’t spout whatever words you want.” Hairy Ball said with a grin.
“Bastard! Release Tangtang!” Yuan Ye was so angry that his face was flushed.
Fang Zhongping on the line angrily said, “What are you doing to my girl!? If you people dare harm her, I definitely won’t let things end well for you!”
“Secretary Fang… relax, we’re here to amiably negotiate, and won’t harm your daughter.”
Hearing that deep voice, Yang Chen’s brows creased. Yuan Ye and Tangtang may not know this person as they weren’t the type to come into contact with people like that, but Yang Chen remembered this voice very clearly. The owner of this voice was actually the old gangster from Dongxing, Zhou Guangnian!
With this revelation, he was able to connect the dots. Other than Zhou Guangnian who controlled half of Zhonghai’s underworld and the Dongxing group that was filled with black money, there was indeed no one else in Zhonghai who would dare do something this crazy alongside Xu Zhihong and go against the Yuan Family and Fang Family.
Zhou Guangnian’s advantage lies in his power in the underworld. He wasn’t someone who could immediately be dealt with just with money or power in the government. Even though he was going directly against the Yuan Family and Fang Family, he could use some methods to give them trouble, and after they have paid the price, lead them to accept a compromise.
“Uncle Fang, don’t listen to them! They definitely won’t dare to do anything to us!” Yuan Ye shouted.
Xu Zhihong sneered, “Young Master Yuan, don’t be so naive. Since we dare to kidnap you, we obviously dare to do other things. I advise you to be good and beg your parents to be more willing to part with worldly possessions like money and power. If they’re willing to cooperate with us, we may even let you leave this place sooner.”
“Xu Zhihong! You actually dare collude with that old fogey Zhou Guangnian! Your Xu Family’s reputation has been completely tarnished by you!” Fang Zhongping shouted from the phone.
Xu Zhihong didn’t even flinch as he replied, “Secretary Fang, whether the Xu Family is good or evil isn’t for you to decide. The victor writes history, it’s not like the Yuan Family and Fang Family has never done anything shameful. You guys need not try to use big reasoning on me. I advise you all to stop being so long-winded, for your children are in my hands. If we’re not satisfied, we could tie them up and throw them into the seas to feed the fish. You won’t even be able to find their bones. I am not joking, Chairman Zhou will personally negotiate with you, I suggest that you be hospitable to him. That’s all I have to say, you big bosses and officials can decide for yourselves.”
“Little Ye, Tangtang, don’t you worry, we will definitely rescue you!” Fang Zhongping shouted at the end, and the line was cut.
Only then did Hairy Ball release the hand that he covered Tangtang’s mouth with. Tangtang panted heavily, she nearly suffocated.
“Boss, I, Old Hairy have already said so, big things have to be done like this. Look how much effort we saved by kidnapping these two kids, everything is now negotiable, right?”
Xu Zhihong ignored him, and looked at Yang Chen with amusement and said, “Mr. Yang, you can be considered as one of the reasons why I am in this position today.”
“What does this have to do with me?” Yang Chen pouted, he didn’t understand.
“If it wasn’t because of your sudden appearance, I would have made Lin Ruoxi my woman a long time ago by using my pawn, Lin Kun. I wouldn’t have been coldly stabbed by her, and wouldn’t have been pushed to the point of taking such a risk.” Xu Zhihong spoke very calmly, but every word contained anger and anybody could tell how he felt.
Chapter 221-2: Have a great time sinking
Yuan Ye and Tangtang both weren’t clear as to what Xu Zhihong’s words to Yang Chen meant, but they were both able to tell that Xu Zhihong harbored deep hostility towards Yang Chen. They were both worried for Yang Chen, as the both of them were valuable hostages and may not get hurt, but Yang Chen was different. From what they knew, Yang Chen had no backing!
Xu Zhihong nefariously smiled, then used the modified phone to dial a number.
When he hit dial, the phone rang three times before it connected.
“Hello, Yu Lei’s Lin Ruoxi……”
Hearing this familair voice, Yang Chen furrowed his brows.
“Hey Ruoxi, it’s Xu Zhihong. I’m specially calling you to let you know that your husband, Mr. Yang is going to die in a moment, but you need not collect his corpse, because you won’t be able to find it.”
Saying that, Xu Zhihong hung up the call without giving Lin Ruoxi any opportunity to reply.
Yang Chen was rather gloomy as he said, “Hey, you should have at least let me bid farewell to my wife, I also want to tell her my bank account password. I have a lot of money left for her.”
“It’s not necessary, once this collaboration with Chairman Zhou is complete, Yu Lei International would be my next target.” Xu Zhihong grimly laughed, “Looks like this is fate, Mr. Yang. When I decided to take the risk and burn my boats, I didn’t expect to kidnap you, yet you were kidnapped by me. Since the heavens are helping me to kill you, I won’t be shy.”
“You are not allowed to hurt Uncle! Uncle is innocent!!” When Tangtang heard that Xu Zhihong wanted to kill Yang Chen, she immediately shotued.
Yuan Ye’s also raised his voice, “Yang Chen is my best friend! If you hurt him, my parents definitely won’t let you go! We will definitely chase you to the very end!”
Yang Chen felt rather touched by these two kids. If he actually died, they would probably shed tears.
“You guys had better worry about your own lives first.” Xu Zhihong apathetically glanced at them, then beckoned two of his men who wore sunglasses over.
Xu Zhihong cruelly smiled, “Shackle his hands and legs tightly, tie an anchor to him, move the boat to somewhere further, then throw him off.”
“Roger!”
The two subordinates answered like machines. They took out two handcuffs, and after binding Yang Chen’s legs, they put another pair of handcuffs on Yang Chen’s hands.
In this way, Yang Chen’s hands and legs were both tightly shackled.
“Mr. Yang, I hope that you have a great time sinking on your ocean journey.” Xu Zhihong coldly said.
“Can’t you be more flexible? I admit that I wasted quite a bit of your money when freeloading meals off you, and took possession of the woman you like. You were quite pitiful, and weren’t able to talk back to me previously. However, as the proverb goes, this crime does not deserve a death sentence.” Yang Chen happily said.
“Drag him out!” It was as if someone had stepped on Xu Zhihong’s tail as he angrily shouted.
The two subordinates immediately lifted Yang Chen from both ends, and carried him out like they were carrying a long box.
Tangtang and Yuan Ye both shouted, and Tangtang even teared, but they weren’t able to stop them.
Hairy Ball clicked his tongue, “Actually, that brat is quite good at fighting. If it wasn’t because we’re busy today, I would’ve sparred with him before he dies.”
Xu Zhihong snorted and said, “If you want to fight, you could go into the sea to accompany him, the two of you could fight when you turn into ghosts.”
“Geez, no no. Boss, don’t make such jokes, I had better stayed with you, boss. Earn some money, play with women, how fantastic.” Hairy Ball rejected Xu Zhihong’s suggestion.
Seeing Yang Chen get carried off, to be sunk deep into the ocean, Xu Zhihong’s mood had improved by leaps and bounds. He had a wide smile as he said, “Let’s go. We’ll wait for Chairman Zhou’s good news at home.”
“Sure. I’m hungry and haven’t eaten, please treat me to lunch, boss! Hehe!” Hairy Ball immediately followed.
After walking a few steps, Xu Zhihong turned back and said to the leader of his subordinates who had a long chin, “Stay here for now. If there’s are any changes, I will call you. Be careful, once you notice anything wrong, immediately head out to the sea!”
“Roger!”
Yuan Ye and Tangtang acted as if they didn’t hear that. At this moment, they were both staring dazedly at the door where Yang Chen was last seen by them. Tangtang even had innumerable complex emotions in her eyes, it was as if she had been petrified, for she didn’t move an inch.
