Chapter 1781: How Much Do You Want?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Fifth Young Master Chen, you must recognize the voice of another acquaintance of yours, right? How is my sincerity? I was afraid that your Miss Chu would be lonely, so I invited Young Madam Lu here.”
After the person in the dark took the phone, he could barely hide the smile on his face. If his subordinates saw his expression at that moment, they would definitely be relieved.
It had been a long time since they had seen their boss so happy.
“Who are you? What do you want? How much money do you want? Just tell me how much you want and how to give it to you. Be straightforward and stop being so mysterious. It’s just money. I have plenty of money.” Jiang Yao was the one who mentioned money. Chen Xuyao pretended to believe that the
other party kidnapped Jiang Yao and Chu Sheng for money.
“Of course, everyone likes money, but not everyone can be as noble and unmoved by money as I am. Fifth Young Master Chen, enjoy the scenery since you have come to Luo City. Don’t try to find me. The entire city’s police can’t find me, so don’t waste your effort.” The man laughed. “By the way, I have
another suggestion for you. You’d better ask the military police to stop their search. Otherwise, if they come to my place and force me into a corner, it won’t be difficult to get the two ladies to die with me.”
The call came to an abrupt end. It came so suddenly and ended inexplicably.
Chen Xuyao held the phone in his hand and fell into deep thought. The other party requested him to arrive at the hotel within 20 minutes. It was either to toy with him or test his attitude toward Chu Sheng.
He had tested him all the way from Jindo City, so the other party must have known that he valued Chu Sheng more than his own life.
After the test, they saw his attitude and knew that Chu Sheng must have been very important to him. However, Chu Sheng could not speak, so they were afraid he would not believe she was in their hands. So, they let Jiang Yao speak to him.
Why did they capture Jiang Yao? Was it to let Jiang Yao help them prove that Chu Sheng was in their hands?
Perhaps she was part of their leverage?
Jiang Yao was a military family member, and the consequences of capturing her were worse than just taking Chu Sheng.
Chen Xuyao stopped the car on the side of the road and called for a police officer. He threw the car keys to the other party and explained a few details. Then, he waved his hand and called for another cab to go to the army base.
Lu Xingzhi was still in closed-door training. It would not be easy to contact him at that time. However, Chen Xuyao thought he could ask the army to stop the exercise so that he could contact Lu Xingzhi.
Jiang Yao was Lu Xingzhi’s wife, a military family member. Furthermore, it was an incident that happened in Luo City. If he waited until the end of the exercise before letting him know about that matter, Lu Xingzhi would be furious.
Furthermore, at that time, Jiang Yao would want to see Lu Xingzhi.
‘When Chen Xuyao arrived at the army base, the military was also racking their brains over the matter of Jiang Yao’s kidnapping. They had been searching for her for such a long time. They had almost searched the entire Luo City. However, they still did not have the slightest bit of helpful information.
However, about 20 minutes ago, that matter seemed to have gotten a little more interesting. Ye Jianguo had suddenly arrived to tell them that Ye Xueli had probably seen the car that kidnapped Jiang Yao..
