"This is a lesson he deserves," Zhan Jingting said calmly. "Doing things without thinking will only lead to losses."
Qiao Wanwan: "......"
“He and Zaozao are young and inexperienced, and they rarely encounter such situations, so it is inevitable that something might go wrong.”
Zhan Jingting ate his porridge, "You don't need to speak up for them. They only have one life. If they die there this time, they deserve it. This world... to be precise, our family can't tolerate so many idiots."
Qiao Wanwan: "......"
"Don't be angry anymore." Qiao Wanwan picked up her chopsticks and put some food on his plate. "Let's eat. Get some rest after you finish eating. We still have a tough battle ahead."
"Eat more, you must finish what's in your bowl."
Qiao Wanwan had no choice but to continue drinking her porridge. "Okay."
......
The next day.
Qiao Wanwan waited until noon, but still didn't receive a call.
She couldn't help but worry, and as she was thinking about what to do, her phone finally rang.
"Hello!" Qiao Wanwan answered immediately.
"I never expected you to find this place," the other person asked directly. "I'm quite curious how you knew I was here."
"Just a guess," Qiao Wanwan said truthfully. "In the Golden Triangle, you're basically inseparable from drugs. And since your place is so secluded, I naturally wanted to find out."
The other person smiled and said, "That's good too. It saves me from having to go out every time I call you. Each call will destroy a phone card."
"Yes, we've officially begun our confrontation, but it's a pity we didn't actually meet last night."
"No rush, there will always be an opportunity."
"Zhan Yin is my husband's nephew, and I don't want him to get hurt in any way."
"He's such a handsome little boy, I couldn't bear to hurt him, but he's so noisy, you know? He keeps yelling at me, so I have to find a way to shut him up..."
Qiao Wanwan suddenly stood up from the sofa, "What did you do to him!"
"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry, I'll keep him alive and play with him slowly. It's because you care about him so much that I have another bargaining chip."
Qiao Wanwan closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down.
The other party continued, "I bet you're thinking that now that you've found my hideout, you're going to raze this place to the ground, right? I advise you not to be impulsive. I have two men with me, unless you want them to die with me."
"I assure you, if you dare to step into this place, those two will die without a burial place."
“I understand you. You finally found such a good place to hide, where you could also manufacture and sell drugs, and then I found it. Naturally, you’re not happy about it,” Qiao Wanwan said. “I really want to save my sister and Zhan Yin, but my husband might not be willing.”
"As you know, my husband has always been ruthless and heartless. He can abandon a sister-in-law who is not related to him by blood and a nephew who is dispensable. So guess what, if he locks me up and sends people to bomb your place, how would you deal with it?"
After a few seconds of silence, the other person finally spoke, "Are you threatening me?"
"It's not a threat, just stating the facts," Qiao Wanwan said. "While I can still persuade him now, you should propose a deal. Otherwise, once I lose control of the situation, it will be too late to undo the damage, and you'll be the one who suffers."
The other party sneered, "You've already discovered this place, so naturally we can't stay here. But I accept what you said. How about this, let's be fair, one life for one life. Do you want to exchange He Songling for your sister or your cheap nephew?"
Qiao Wanwan frowned slightly and said, "I need to think about this. I'll get back to you later."
Qiao Wanwan hung up the phone and looked at Zhan Jingting sitting next to her. "Jingting, what should we do?"
Zhan Jingting said in a deep voice, "He did this to both get He Songling back and to buy time. As he said, no matter how good that place is, it's no longer safe to stay there. So he needs time to move to avoid total annihilation."
"That makes sense. So what should we do now?"
"Let's get the people back first."
"Who should we replace them with?"
Without hesitation, Zhan Jingting replied, "Zhan Yin."
"Why?" Qiao Wanwan asked curiously.
Cheng Zaozao and Zhan Yin are equally important to her, which is why she hesitated just now, but she didn't expect Zhan Jingting to make a decision so quickly.
Zhan Jingting explained, "Zhan Yin is impulsive and will definitely lose his temper. If he angers the other party, he will suffer. Let's get him back first."
“That’s true.” Qiao Wanwan nodded. “But Zaozao is a girl after all, and she’s more likely to be taken advantage of.”
"Boys can suffer losses too. This is settled, listen to me."
"......good."
Qiao Wanwan quickly called the other party.
The man wearing black gloves answered the call and pressed the speakerphone button. "Madam Zhan, have you made up your mind?"
“Yes,” Qiao Wanwan said, “I want Zhan Yin to come back.”
"Oh?" The man asked with interest. "I thought you were closer to your sister and would switch her back. Well, you two aren't related by blood, and even Zhan Yin, no matter what, is related to Zhan Jingting by blood; there's a difference in closeness..."
"Enough talk, same address in two hours."
The man hung up the phone and looked at the two people tied to the pillar through the screen. "Tear off the tape."
The subordinate immediately did as instructed, tearing off the tape that was stuck to the mouths of the two men.
