Chapter 223 Both sides have their own bargaining chips



The man was shocked by Shen Lin's powerful aura, but he was no simple person after all. He quickly regained his usual unrestrained smile and said, "If I release people just because you tell me to, wouldn't I lose face?"

Gu Shilin looked at the man in the distance, pursed his lips, and said, "Qin Xiang, do you know who you kidnapped?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiang on the ship laughed, "Is Second Young Master Gu looking down on me by saying such things? If I didn't know who she was, what would be the point of all this?"

Gu Shilin frowned and whispered to Shen Lin, "Qin Xiang seems harmless and always smiling, but he is actually ruthless and unpredictable. With my second sister-in-law in his hands, we should not act rashly."

Shen Lin hummed in agreement, glanced at the time, and said, "The others should be arriving soon."

Gu Shilin was about to ask someone when he saw a convoy of cars approaching from a distance.

"Who is it?" Gu Shilin asked Shen Lin, looking at the convoy over there.

"The person who can break this deadlock."

Shen Lin looked at the cars over there. The cars stopped, and someone got out and opened the door of the lead car. The next second, a middle-aged man got out of the car.

The middle-aged man was Song Zhengchu. Under the protection of He Yu and others, he gradually approached Shen Lin's side.

Looking at Ye Xinning, who was tied high in the air on the boat, Song Zhengchu felt extremely distressed.

Looking at Qin Xiang on the boat again, Song Zhengchu's voice was even colder than before.

"Qin Xiang, who gave you the guts?"

When Qin Xiang saw that the person he had been waiting for had arrived, he smiled slightly and said, "Uncle is here. Come and sit down. How can I let you stand there and talk?"

uncle?

Ye Xinning was almost speechless at Qin Xiang's address. "What did you say? You called my dad 'uncle,' but you still call him my brother?"

"My cousin is also my older brother."

Qin Xiang looked completely at ease.

Ye Xinning was speechless again. What Qin Xiang said was easy to misunderstand. She was almost scared to death, thinking that her father had already married and had children before meeting her mother, and that he had deceived her mother's feelings after going to Nancheng. Fortunately, that didn't happen.

Thinking this through, Ye Xinning looked at Qin Xiang again, and her feelings were no longer as complicated as before.

"You are my father's nephew, so why did you kidnap me?"

Qin Xiang blinked and smiled, "I already told you about this before. This is a gift I gave you when we first met."

Ye Xinning, "..."

How could this be so twisted? Trying to kill her on their very first meeting.

She had no idea that her father's family in France was like this.

"Why do you want my life? Who...who are you?"

"you do not know?"

Qin Xiang clearly didn't believe she didn't know their identities.

Ye Xinning shook his head sincerely.

Qin Xiang laughed out loud. He ignored Ye Xinning and turned to Song Zhengchu. "Uncle really cares about my sister. He never told her anything about France. It's really not easy to keep it a secret for so many years and protect her safety."

Song Zhengchu had already boarded the ship, with Shen Lin and Gu Shilin standing beside him.

"Release her," Song Zhengchu said in a low voice.

"What if I don't let go?" Qin Xiang smiled slightly, his attitude already very clear.

"what would you like?"

"Trade rights with Nice."

Song Zhengchu sneered, "You have quite the appetite. Even your mother wouldn't dare to say something like that if she were standing in front of me."

"Is that so?" Qin Xiang was still smiling. He raised an eyebrow and looked at Shen Lin to the side. He didn't know Shen Lin's identity before, but now that Song Zhengchu and Gu Shilin were here, Qin Xiang realized after a little thought that this was Shen Lin from the Shen family in Nancheng.

"Shen Lin, is it? Listen to this, I wanted to release my sister, but my uncle couldn't bear to part with that piece of fat meat, Nice."

Shen Lin looked at Song Zhengchu but did not speak.

Looking around, Song Zhengchu knew Qin Xiang's methods well; the longer it dragged on, the worse it would be.

"I can give it to you." After a long pause, Song Zhengchu said this.

Qin Xiang's eyes widened, clearly not expecting Song Zhengchu to actually agree. "Are you serious, or is this just a delaying tactic?"

Without saying a word, Song Zhengchu took out his phone and dialed a number right in front of Qin Xiang.

It's an order to remove the person in charge in Nice and to have them issue a press release.

Qin Xiang didn't wait long before his subordinate handed him a tablet. "Sir, their people have indeed issued a notice announcing their withdrawal from trade with Nice."

Qin Xiang was overjoyed when he saw the news, so happy he could hardly stop smiling. "If I had known that my uncle cared so much about my sister, I should have gone to Nancheng myself to bring her home."

Qin Xiang emphasized the last word.

"Can we release him now?" Shen Lin had no time to delve into what Song Zhengchu and Qin Xiang were talking about. He only cared about one thing: Ye Xinning's safety.

Qin Xiang's gaze shifted to Shen Lin. He looked at Shen Lin with a playful smile on his face, but pulled out a gun.

Seeing Qin Xiang holding a gun, Chen Lin's eyes flashed, and he exuded a chilling aura. "What do you want to do?"

"younger sister."

Qin Xiang looked up at Ye Xinning, raising an eyebrow. "Little sister, tell this Mr. Shen what gift I told you I was going to give you?"

When Ye Xinning saw the gun in Qin Xiang's hand, his heart jumped into his throat.

Back in China, she had always been law-abiding and upright, with impeccable political background. Although she worked as a lawyer and had seen countless strange and unusual cases, this was the first time she had ever had a gun pointed at her.

"Qin Xiang, is it? My father has already agreed to give you what you wanted. Are you going to go back on your word?"

"My sister probably doesn't know me very well; I often go back on my word."

Ye Xinning, "..."

How can there be such a shameless person?

When Song Zhengchu's men saw that Qin Xiang was carrying a gun, they no longer concealed it. Everyone pointed their guns at Qin Xiang. He Yu whispered in Song Zhengchu's ear, "Sir, Qin Xiang is a madman. Open fire."

Opening fire at this moment would undoubtedly disregard Ye Xinning's safety and could very likely provoke Qin Xiang.

But Qin Xiang wasn't going to release the people without firing a shot.

For the first time, Song Zhengchu was at a loss, unsure of how to ensure Ye Xinning's safe escape from danger.

Just as Song Zhengchu was wondering what to do, another car drove up from a distance, stopped, and Wenzhu got out.

At the same time, Wenzhu got out of the car with a little boy.

As soon as the little boy saw Qin Xiang, he shouted, "Brother!"

Qin Xiang, who had been looking composed, looked up when he heard the voice and saw the little boy being pulled by Wen Zhu to stand next to Shen Lin. He panicked instantly.

"Nono."
