”She's on Mount Qingping in R Nation. Contact the people there immediately, I'd like to speak to them directly over the phone.”
”Yes,” Fan Shixin acknowledged.
”Where's that man?”
”Waiting in another room. We didn't let him out.”
”Very good. Tell Xiao Huang to take him here to see the sorry plight his wife is in now. Then, get rid of him.”
”Yes, Young Sir. Do we hand them over to the government?”
”Kill them then move their bodies overseas. Dump them in front of the police station abroad.”
”Yes…”
——
It was 4 pm in S Nation and 4 am in R Nation.
At this very moment, both Pei Yi and An Xiaoning were still sound asleep.
For the past few nights, her hands would be handcuffed behind her back whenever it was time for bed, and they would only be unlocked the next morning. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
It had become a nightly routine.
An Xiaoning did not struggle or try to provoke him and instead just succumbed abidingly.
She would lie on her stomach to sleep every night, since it would be extremely uncomfortable to lie on her back with her hands cuffed behind her.
She went to bed early and rose early.
The lights went out at eight o'clock in the evening the day before.
However, she would be woken up by every sound she heard from outside.
At about five o'clock, the doorbell began ringing incessantly and the bedroom door was swung open forcefully. Pei Yi switched on the lights and walked toward the door.
An Xiaoning remained still with her eyes shut and continued to pretend to be asleep.
”Ancestor, S Nation has released a piece of news saying that they're giving up the negotiation with us one-sidedly. Besides, Jin Qingyan had also asked to meet you and speak to you privately. Are you amenable to his request?”
”Get him on the line, I'd like to hear what he has to say.”
”Alright.”
Pei Yi closed the door and stared at An Xiaoning, who was lying on her stomach. ”Since you're already awake, what's the point of pretending to be asleep?” he said sluggishly.
An Xiaoning turned around and said with a smile, ”You knew?”
”I was just bluffing you. Turns out you were really pretending.”
”…”
An Xiaoning knelt on the couch in discomfort and stared at him, not allowing her dejection to be revealed.
The handset on the desk rang all of a sudden. Pei Yi proceeded to answer the call while leaning against the desk, with one hand holding the telephone while the other supporting was himself against the edge of the desk.
”Is that Mr. Jin?”
”…”
”But I'm not in need of any money. You've seen it yourself, your nation's leaders have already rejected my request. If you could persuade your leaders to change their minds, perhaps there'd be a chance…”
”…”
”It can't be helped then. You people are not sincere enough. There are only two things we do to the hostages we've abducted. One is to return them based on a condition, and two is to kill them. I believe you don't need me to explain what's going to happen to her.”
”…”
”I won't concede no matter how much money you offer me. Would I have made that request if money was what I'm after? You've belittled me.” Pei Yi did not say anything else and hung up straight away.
