214 Locked up (1/2)

”Is that so?” Nakagawa Emi sneered. She did not even retort sarcastically. Currently, she was like a fresh fish lying on a cutting board — her fate was in someone else's hand.

Looking at the clock, it was around 2 p.m. There was still a long time before night came, but his stomach was already growling.

Aside from mountain roads, there was only barren beach and rocks in the surroundings. There was no place to purchase food, even if one wanted to. Opening the locker on his right, although there was nothing edible, there was a bottle of brandless clean water.

The bottle that was still sealed, was opened by Chen Fan, who drank it in two gulps. After letting out a burp, he slowly said, ”We didn't meet for about half a month, did we? Never would I have thought you would be so daring as to hire a gunman to kidnap me. Spill it, why did you guys want to obtain Ghost Moon Incense?”

”Hmph!” She refused to answer the question, adopting an arrogant noble's demeanor.

”Not saying anything, huh?” Chen Fan gave her an sideways look, and said with a cold smile, ”Being stubborn will only bring you endless pain. You must know, you are a woman, and I am a man, so…”

”Kill me, if you dare, I would not spill the secret of Ghost Moon Incense.” Nakagawa Emi turned away her face, a stance showing that she had accepted her fate.

”I hope your arrogant tone can last until tonight!” Too lazy to have any further blathering with her, Chen Fan cut a piece of cloth off of her windbreaker with his Kunwu dagger and said, ”Face this way, I want to cover up your eyes.”

Obviously, there was no one who would obediently obey this request. Chen Fan had to use his dagger to gesture on the side of her face. After covering her eyes, Chen Fan hugged himself in the pilot house, while waiting for the night to befall silently.

When it was around February, the sun set quickly. When the last afterglow faded between the sea and sky, Chen Fan flexed his arms and neck. After giving the car keys a turn, he drove this red Smart Car to charge toward the beach.

”Ah, what are you going to do?” Nakagawa Emi, who had been silent for a few hours, suddenly shrieked. A combination of her vision getting blocked and the bumping car made her severely lose her sense of security.

”Of course, I am going to dump you into the sea!” Chen Fan did not even turn his head, but rather proceeded to floor the accelerator. Driving this Smart Car with a low body on the beach, which was filled with soft sand, caused the car to break down. When the Smart Car was approaching the seaside, it was finally trapped by the sand, and smoke started coming out of the wildly spinning wheels. Chen Fan turned off his car and got out, proceeding to take out Nakagawa Emi and put her on top of the car hood.

”Wait a minute, I am going to find some rocks!” Chen Fan said creepily in her ears, giving her body a chill, like she had fallen through an ice pond.

Doing as he said, Chen Fan ran to the sides to pick up some rocks. After that, he held a lot of crushed rocks in his arms, which he released onto the hood. They landed, making a loud sound.

”Gudong, Gudong!”

”There are not enough ropes, and I cannot tie the rocks on your body. I found some crushed rocks, though,” Chen Fan held her pointy chin in his fingers, and said. ”The buoyancy force of the human body is proportional to the amount of its fats, which means when that, when there are more fats, the buoyancy force is stronger. Since you are so thin, your body certainly does not have much fat. So, I just have to insert some rocks inside your clothing pockets, so I can be sure that you will sink, just like a weight dropped into water!”

”Don't you think you can get away with killing me!” Nakagawa Emi's breast swelled and deflated vigorously. Although the weather around the seaside was cold, her forehead was dripping with a cold sweat.

”Nonsense, many murderers thought of this question as well, before their homicidal act, but I do not see any decline in the number of murder cases around the world. If this one phrase was enough, wouldn't that mean that the world has achieved peace and harmony? And, wouldn't that mean that everyone has an opportunity to study, and there is no need to lock your doors at night anymore?” Chen Fan, picking up a rock as big as his fist, said. ”This stone weighs around 3 kg, so it should be enough to counterweight 10 kg of your fat, you know!”

Finishing his sentences, Chen Fan lifted up the pocket of her windbreaker, ready to insert the rocks into it.

”Ah, wait a minute! Wait a minute!” Even a fish, which is pressed on a cutting board, will struggle to jump a few times, so not to mention a human. Nakagawa Emi was like a fish that just got thrown ashore, her body twisting vigorously.

”Speak quickly, finish it, and you shall obediently allow me to sink you down, with rocks filling your clothes!” Chen Fan demanded.

”Let...let go of me please. I can give you a large sum of money, and I promise not to give you anymore trouble,” she begged.

”Obviously…” Chen Fan pulled a long tone leisurely, and ended with, ”No!”

”Then...Then what can I do, for you to spare my life?” Although Nakagawa Emi's eyes were hidden from his sight, it was not hard to interpret the obvious fear from her trembling body.

”In this case…” Chen Fan was picking up another rock to insert into the left pocket of her windbreaker, while saying, ”First, tell me what you guys are going to do with the Ghost Moon Incense!”

”No way!” Her answer was abnormally spontaneous — she did not even think about it.

However, she regretted it the moment the answer left her mouth. Fearing that she might be digging her own grave, she proceed to talk with a trembling voice. ”The grudge between us is not that deep, so why must you kill me?”

”Because I resent you! If I weren't prepared, our roles in this situation would be reversed!” Chen Fan scratched his eyebrows, then picked up two rocks again, putting them into her sleeves, which were tied up. Like transporting a gunny sack, he lifted her onto his shoulder and walked toward the seaside.

The sea breeze was howling, and the sea waves was spraying onto the seaside. When Chen Fan was around three to four meters away from the seaside, the sound of the sea waves spraying on the shore was clearly audible to both of them.

When Nakagawa Emi could no longer withstand her heart, which was beating so violently, she sobbed out, ”Don't you Chinese have such a saying, 'Be lenient, wherever it is possible'? Can you not let go of me?”

”Ho ho, so you even know this uncommon ancient saying?” Chen Fan did not stop his pace, but kept walking, while speaking. ”I am sure you never heard of another ancient saying, which says, 'Cherish a tiger, and you breed calamity for the future'!”

”Never heard of it…” she murmured, mid-sob.
