Chapter 23 If I die, they can’t afford to pay
Ever since he knew that the person he had sniped was Lan Ze, Ning Yan never contacted Cheng Zhengze again.
If it were someone else, Ning Yan would definitely cheat the other party out of the two million dollars first, and then run away with Lan Ze in a despicable manner.
But Ning Yan really didn't dare to face Cheng Zhengze. He knew very well that this vengeful man would not give up.
Cheng Zhengze will definitely chase me to the ends of the earth.
The result proved that Ning Yan's judgment was correct - the petty-minded Cheng Zhengze still refused to let Lan Ze go.
"Mr. Cheng, they are here." The bodyguard stood beside Cheng Zhengze, bent down and whispered.
Hearing this, Cheng Zhengze put down the coffee in his hand and looked at the man sitting opposite him, only to find that the man had turned his head and looked at him.
His brows were slightly furrowed, his expression was serious, and his eyes showed an extremely rare anxiety and displeasure.
He remained motionless for the first three hours of his detention, and was even able to sit on the deck and read a book in the breeze, enjoying the blue sky and white clouds. He was also gentle and polite to the people who were monitoring him, and did not look like a person under house arrest at all - until Cheng Zhengze called Ilok Manor in front of him.
She stared at him and said word by word, "Tell Mrs. Yu that if she doesn't send her brother over within an hour, she won't have to wait for her husband to come back and will be a widow for the rest of her life."
Yu Chengbai's hand holding the book froze visibly, and some creases were pressed into the pages.
Cheng Zhengze ignored the emotional changes on his face and said calmly, "Mr. Yu, be happy. Your wife will be here to take you home soon."
Yu Chengbai didn't say anything, but just looked at the calm sea in silence, until this moment - the bodyguard said someone was coming.
Cheng Zhengze has been in charge of the Cheng family for several years. The outside world's evaluation of him is definitely worthy of the word gentleman. At this moment, he asked knowingly, but he looked like a villain: "Mr. Yu, aren't you happy to see your wife come to pick you up in person?"
Without waiting for Yu Chengbai to speak, he sneered, "You should be thanking me. You say he's your younger brother, but who knows who he is? A jerk from nowhere, with a face like that. The two of us don't look alike at all. How could he be your younger brother?"
"Mr. Yu, I have absolutely no deception or concealment in my words. Your wife's brother hired someone on the dark web to kill my son. This is an indisputable fact."
Cheng Zhengze looked at him seriously, his eyes sharp, and continued: "You are also a father, I believe you can understand how I feel now."
"I'm sorry, I don't understand." The book in his hand was gently placed on the small round table in front of him. Yu Chengbai turned around and looked at him with calm and gentle eyes. "I think you should understand my feelings at the moment."
Cheng Zhengze was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help frowning.
"No one likes to be used as a bargaining chip to threaten the one they love, and..." Yu Chengbai frowned slightly as he looked at the catamaran getting closer and closer in the distance, "He gets seasick."
"Ugh..." Ning Yan stood on the deck, covering his mouth, almost vomiting bile.
He held on to the fence tightly with one hand, veins bulging on the back of his hand, and he almost deformed the steel fence.
Lan Ze stood beside him and patted him on the back calmly.
Aya looked at him nervously, asking repeatedly, "Madam, how are you? Are you suffering from morning sickness? Or maybe you should not go?"
Ning Yan waved his hands at her. He was vomiting so much that he saw stars, but he still found a chance to reply to her: "No... It's not morning sickness, I, I'm seasick... Ugh..."
"Huh? Then what should we do?"
"It's okay, let me take it easy, just take it easy...slow down...vomit..."
Ning Yan had already cursed Cheng Zhengze's ancestors in his heart. Why did he choose the sea? He could go anywhere, by land, water, or air, but not on a boat.
The last time he was on the ship, it took him three or two days to recover.
Finally they were approaching the huge cruise ship of the Cheng family. After getting on the cruise ship, Ning Yan's condition eased a little, but the cruise ship still couldn't avoid shaking slightly, and he had to stop and walk slowly after walking ten steps.
Lan Ze followed him all the time, holding his arm. Seeing how uncomfortable he was, he frowned and said, "How about I knock you out later?"
Ning Yan looked back at him and immediately gave him a thumbs up: "You are really smart. When things are settled, remember to knock me out and take me back. I feel at ease if you knock people out."
When Yu Chengbai saw Ning Yan, he stood up immediately, "Yiwei!"
Just as he was about to go over, he was stopped by someone.
Cheng Zhengze pressed his shoulder and slowly pushed him back to his seat. He looked at Ning Yan, who was frowning across from him, and said calmly, "Mrs. Yu, how are you?"
"Mr. Cheng, do I look okay?"
Ning Yan had dark skin, and it was impossible to tell whether he looked pale or not, but his listlessness and weakness were visible to the naked eye.
It was almost like being tortured. I felt like if the wind was any stronger, I would fall down on the spot.
Yu Chengbai's hands on the table unconsciously closed, and the lace tablecloth began to twist and stretch in one direction.
Ning Yan had already seen Yu Chengbai opposite him and heard him calling him. Without saying a word, he pushed away Lan Ze who was supporting him and wiped his mouth vigorously with the handkerchief Aya gave him.
Then he perked up and looked at Cheng Zhengze on the other side, and said straight to the point: "Mr. Cheng took so much trouble to ask me to come here, just tell me what's the matter. As you can see, I'm seasick and I'm in a hurry to go back."
Before he finished speaking, the bodyguard behind Cheng Zhengze came over with several safes, opened them, and placed them in front of him one by one.
Inside were neatly stacked green banknotes.
Cheng Zhengze stared into his eyes and said in a language only the two of them could understand: "This is part of it."
——Part of the two million US dollars promised to Ning Yan.
He still wants Lan Ze's life.
Ning Yan looked at the banknotes on the ground, raised his eyes after a moment, and said lightly: "Mr. Cheng, you're late in giving the betrothal gifts. I'm already married, and my husband is standing next to you. Take the money back. Raising a son is not easy, and he will need a lot of money in the future. You have to leave yourself a way out in everything. What do you think?"
Cheng Zhengze ignored his threat and didn't even frown. He raised his hand and put a gun against Yu Chengbai's solar plexus.
Ning Yanqing couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Wow, it’s that gun he gave me before.
Cheng Zhengze, you are really awesome.
Cheng Zhengze disapproved of all his reactions and said indifferently, "Mrs. Yu, there's no need to beat around the bush. Between your husband and the one next to you, who do you want to live?"
Ning Yan finally set his eyes on Yu Chengbai opposite him.
In fact, he wanted to see the man's frightened look. After all, a young man like Yu Chengbai, who had grown up in luxury, probably had never seen the greatest malice in his life, which was to be tripped up in business.
Having a gun pointed at his head like this must scare him.
Look, the little face has turned pale and the brows are so deeply wrinkled, it's really heartbreaking to see.
Men all like to be heroes and save the damsels in distress, and Ning Yan is no exception.
He patted Lan Ze's shoulder, sighed lightly, and said, "Go, I still care about your brother-in-law more. I believe you can take good care of yourself, good boy."
Cheng Zhengze frowned slightly.
As the one who was abandoned, Lan Ze did not show any shock or disappointment. He raised his hands and walked towards Cheng Zhengze obediently.
"Don't move."
Lan Ze paused slightly.
Ning Yan was also stunned.
Cheng Zhengze looked at the man in front of him who suddenly raised his hand to grasp the gun, frowned slightly, not knowing what he was going to do, and sneered: "Mr. Yu, you wouldn't be so magnanimous as to say you would trade your life for his, right?"
Yu Chengbai didn't say anything, but turned his head to look at him quietly. The hand holding the gun was white and delicate, with a bit of the elegance of a scholar and politician, which was almost in sharp contrast with Cheng Zhengze who was holding the gun on the other hand.
His action as if trying to grab the gun seemed particularly funny and ridiculous, and he overestimated his own abilities.
But no one present could laugh.
Everyone noticed that Cheng Zhengze was almost completely covered in red lasers from head to toe, especially his head.
Cheng Zhengze gradually opened his eyes and looked at him in disbelief.
Then he looked up suddenly and saw a helicopter hovering overhead.
“…”
"Mr. Cheng, please take the gun." Yu Chengbai's tone was calm. He didn't look like he would bring a few helicopter snipers to fight Cheng Zhengze to death. He was still polite and gentlemanly, but his voice was unusually cold. "Otherwise, they will definitely open fire."
"You hid so many people?" Cheng Zhengze frowned, his eyes sinister and shocked.
"It's not me." This wasn't the first time Yu Chengbai had answered this kind of question. "There are hundreds of insurance companies in Continent M. If I died, they would most likely go bankrupt from paying out the money."
“…”
Ning Yan and Lan Ze widened their eyes at the same time.

PS:
Ning Yan, a bounty of 1 billion yuan is offered on the dark web, with discounts for bulk purchases and double the reward for live ones;
Yu Chengbai, as soon as he died, all major insurance companies in Continent M, Northern Continent, South Africa and other places would face bankruptcy. His life was very valuable. Of course, he was also very rich, but he was low-key, very low-key, so low-key that Ning Yan thought he was just an ordinary small boss.
