Ning Yuan raised an eyebrow at him: "What, aren't you afraid of dying? You just used me as a human shield?"
Screw you!
"You've always been so talkative, no wonder my third son can't forget you." Xiang Ziye looked down at her, raising an eyebrow.
Upon hearing Xiang Ziying's name, Ning Yuan gave a slight sneer: "What, is he still obsessed with killing me?"
Being a comedian who cracks jokes must be tiring, you know. Is being the atmosphere-maker so easy?
The atmosphere was too serious. Whether she begged for mercy out of fear or shouted insults defiantly, they had time to focus on how to deal with her.
The atmosphere got too slick, things went too far, and she completely enraged the kidnappers, making her the one who suffered the consequences!
You have to maintain a balance—keep them interested in listening to her, wanting to see what else she has to say, but not so much that you provoke them too much.
Uncle Fang taught her—
Once one person develops a subtle interest in another, even if the two are adversaries, a subtle "emotional connection" will naturally form.
Even kidnappers hesitate a lot when they're about to kill or torture someone.
This hesitation could be your chance to survive or even fight back!
Back when Du Yuesheng, the Green Gang boss, was still in power, he was also living a life of constant danger. Besides his own great skills, he also relied on his ability to manipulate people to become a powerful figure in Shanghai.
These life-saving skills and abilities were something she had worked hard to develop in addition to doing business and going to school, after all, she was an incredibly capable mother!
"You know you're hated, and my third son really wants to kill you. It's rare to see him so hung up on a woman," Xiang Ziye sneered.
Ning Yuan tugged at the corner of her lips: "Then I thank him for his concern. It's a pity I have a husband now. When my husband dies, I'll have him get a number and queue up earlier next time."
Xiang Ziye was taken aback, and then the three people next to him couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"Damn, this woman is really..."
"Heh... Ha... It's not a bad deal to be buried with our brother."
...
Ning Yuan sat on the ground, lowered her eyes, and subtly smoothed out the bulge at the hem of her skirt with her fingertips.
They didn't have time to search her body...
Xiang Ziye held his bleeding abdomen, lit a cigarette with Lao Wu's hand beside him, and stared coldly at her—
“Ning Yuan, at least five of my brothers died in that room just now. Did Rong Zhaonan know from the beginning that I would use that car to kidnap you?”
Rong Zhaonan should have been lured to Ye Qiu's grave by the note he left behind.
He had already had explosives planted over there, enough to give them a hard time, enough to send their coffins flying to the sky!
But that cunning bastard had actually put a car phone in the car, and it was on two-way communication, so he not only escaped the disaster, but also came straight here!
Ning Yuan shook her head: "No, it's a matter of probability. When I go out, I will definitely be accompanied by at least two people, which means I will definitely be driving, and there will inevitably be weapons in the car. That should be something that is quite attractive to you."
She paused for a moment: "The Xiang family has been purged, your connections have been damaged, and the supplies and weapons you can get are limited. He guesses that if you really take action, you will most likely drive the car away."
Xiang Ziye narrowed his eyes, a mocking glint in them: "An accident may be unavoidable, but being fully prepared for battle, taking precautions, and minimizing losses... his military theory as a commander is quite solid."
The man exhaled a smoke ring and sneered, "Hmph, the location tracking function of military vehicle mobile phones has always been very poor. He's lucky he was able to find us."
Ning Yuan remained silent, her eyes slightly unfocused.
That wasn't just good luck...
This batch of equipment is imported. It's not from the same line of domestic or Soviet technology. It's one of the top-quality foreign products that her cheap older brother helped bring back. Do you think that's accurate?
However, she didn't say this aloud. Making jokes to "lighten the mood" is one thing, but provoking desperate criminals is unwise.
The tracking device caused Xiang Ziye to suffer heavy losses and his plans to fail. Now that he knows the truth, he probably doesn't know what to do to her!
"To be honest, Rong Zhaonan and his men are indeed fast, accurate and ruthless marksmen. In the ten minutes of fighting, I lost several brothers. If it weren't for you being the meat shield, we would all have perished there. It's a pity... With you here, he was hesitant to act rashly." Xiang Ziye sneered.
Ning Yuan looked at him coldly: "..."
Yes, the reason why Rong Zhaonan and Aheng were able to hit Xiang Ziye's men so accurately at night was not only because of their marksmanship, but also because they were equipped with a batch of imported infrared sights and thermal imagers.
However... Rong Zhaonan was indeed hesitant to act rashly. He dared to shoot at the people behind Ye Dong, but this time he held back his attack.
Ning Yuan felt a mix of emotions.
"Alright, let's not waste any more time on this nonsense. Although Rong Zhaonan was lucky enough not to be blown up at the cemetery, he can't escape now that you're here. I also predicted that if Rong Taisui were so easy to kill, he wouldn't be Rong Taisui." Xiang Ziye sneered.
Although some things went wrong, it didn't completely deviate from the plan.
He glanced at Lao Wu and his two subordinates: "Get ready, we're waiting for our Rong Taisui."
Then, Xiang Ziye walked onto the bridge.
Old Wu told the other two to go about their business. He held a torch in one hand and personally lifted Ning Yuan up with the other: "Let's go. I think you're pretty sensible. Don't make me whip you as I leave."
Ning Yuan didn't say anything, got up and followed him forward.
Before long, they reached the bridge.
Ning Yuan discovered that this was a bridge connecting two mountains, mainly for trains, so it was very high. By the moonlight, she looked down and saw that the distance from the bridge surface to the water looked to be at least twenty or thirty meters.
The water murmured beneath the bridge, but many stones were visible protruding from the water...
She couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Don't even think about jumping into the water to escape. At this height, if you fall into the water, it's no different from jumping off a building; you'll be seriously injured just the same," Xiang Ziye said coldly.
Ning Yuan said calmly, "You overestimate me. I can't swim."
Xiang Ziye leaned against the stone bridge and scoffed, "You woman, you never speak the truth, you're so unruly. Rong Zhao really likes to push the limits."
He took a drag of his cigarette and said to himself, "Besides, this area is high up, so it would be dry during the dry season. It's August now, so there's some water."
He paused for a moment: "If a person falls in, they most likely won't fall into the water, but will land on a rock and be broken into pieces, just like my little Xiao Si."
Ning Yuan looked at him, her eyes flickering, and said softly, "Xiang Ziye, you don't just have one younger brother, Xiang San is also your younger brother. If you die, the Xiang family will fall. With his personality, how long can he live without your protection?"
Xiang Ziye suddenly lowered his head and sneered: "Don't tell me that Rong Zhaonan's intolerant nature will spare San'er's life. Fortune changes every ten years. My family has fallen, and my brother and I admit defeat, but it's not too bad to make Rong Taisui die with us."
The damp night wind lifted his open white shirt, revealing the wound on his waist and abdomen, making him look like a tattered, lonely, and resolute eagle.
About ten minutes later, Ning Yuan saw the two men carry a box from somewhere near the bridge and put it on the ground.
They opened the box, revealing its contents.
