"Your boss's woman?" Ji Zhinan asked.
"yes!"
After waiting for a long time without Ji Zhinan arriving, the man on the other end asked, "Aren't you scared?"
"What good will it do me to be afraid?" Ji Zhinan said calmly.
"Of course it's useless!"
"So why should I be afraid?"
"..."
Holding her phone, she was unusually calm: "Since you've kidnapped my friend, you must want something from me. Don't beat around the bush, just tell me what you want. I'll give you whatever you ask for, but there's one condition: you can't hurt my friend."
Ji Zhinan narrowed his eyes: "I have a bad temper. I'm the type who responds better to gentleness than force. We should respect each other when we're out and about. If you choose to respect me, I will meet your demands. But if you do anything outrageous to my friend, then so be it, we'll all die together. I don't care."
"..." There was silence on the other end for a long time. They probably didn't expect that, when they came to threaten Ji Zhinan, it would turn into Ji Zhinan threatening them.
Ji Zhinan wasn't in a hurry. He gave them about three minutes before slowly speaking: "Have you thought it through? Mutual respect or a fight to the death?"
"You damned woman!" came a few curses from the other end. "We don't want money! Our boss's woman wants your life!"
"good."
"..."
Ji Zhinan agreed without hesitation, leaving the other side at a loss for words.
"What should I do?" Ji Zhinan was the first to break the silence.
"Turn right and go straight, turn left at the second intersection ahead, then go straight again and enter the dead end at the third intersection. Our people will be waiting for you there."
"Okay." Ji Zhinan agreed quickly, then paused and added, "But I need to use the restroom first, is that alright?"
The tone on the other end suddenly turned sharp: "You're not allowed to go!"
"Heh." Ji Zhinan chuckled softly, not in a hurry: "I was in such a rush to leave that I didn't have time to go. But when it comes to the three urgent needs, even the biggest things need to be taken care of before we talk about anything else."
"..." There was silence on the other end again; they must have gone to report it.
After a minute, he spoke again: "Ji Zhinan, you said you would understand each other. We're not exactly good people either, so don't try anything funny with me!"
"nature."
"You were wearing a gray tracksuit today, your hair was tied in a high ponytail, and you were holding your phone in your right hand."
Suddenly, someone on the other end said something nonsensical, but Ji Zhinan understood it.
At this very moment, someone is watching her from somewhere.
He looked around discreetly but found nothing unusual.
"No need to look anymore. You won't be able to find our people. We're only giving you three minutes. After that, don't even think about trying to find someone to rescue you. It's impossible!"
"I know."
"Three minutes have started. Don't hang up!"
"..." Ji Zhinan didn't say anything more, but took his phone and walked into the public restroom not far away, going directly to the girls' side.
Three minutes passed, not a second more, not a second less, and Ji Zhinan walked out.
She stood at the bathroom door, and the voice came again from the other end: "You should still remember the directions I gave you earlier, right?"
“Of course.” Ji Zhinan took his phone and walked to the right. Following the man’s instructions, he turned left at the second intersection, then right, and finally entered the dead end.
A minivan was parked in the alley, and two people got out of it.
