256 Oscar-Worthy Performances 1 (2/2)
The threat was not much, but while Su Zheng scolded him, she also slapped the man on his face with his own ID card. The man in the cap shut up immediately. He thought that he had seen a ghost when he saw his ID card. His eyes bulged with disbelief as he looked at the group. His forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Rong Su sighed. ”If you can't do the time, don't do the crime…”
The man in the cap could only watch, speechless.
They finally arrived on the twenty-seventh floor, and the old man rushed out of the elevator immediately. The last remaining three floors were safe.
They dragged the man in the cap and the other three who were still unconscious into Mo Xiao Xia's apartment, and Su Zheng tied them up again. Then Ye Shuang had time to sit down and slowly ask after the truth. ”Xiao Su, have you found something?”
Based on her action in the elevator, she obviously knew something that would make the man shut up. At least, they had a lead to work on. Most likely, she had already contacted Ol' K in the car on their way over to find out the person who hired these people.
Su Zheng nodded and prodded Mo Xiao Xia in a mocking manner. ”It's because of Xiao Xia's admirer. That Mr. Lin has friction with his family in terms of business. After they heard about Xiao Xia, they thought about kidnapping her as a hostage.”
Ye Shuang looked at the man, and the man in the cap turned his head away.
Rong Su was curious. ”Just now, you've been talking about Mr. Lin, but who is this Mr. Lin?”
”It's the owner of Xiang Jiang's Tian Wang Media's… little brother.” After Ye Shuang answered, she asked, ”Even so, that doesn't make much sense. Do they have a way to sneak Xiao Xia out of Shanghai to Xiang Jiang without people noticing?”
But from this point, the concern Mr. Lin had for Mo Xiao Xia was at least sincere. Xiao Xia's safety would be able to shake his principle. The kidnappers must have a valid source; they would not have kidnapped a random person off the road to negotiate with Mr. Lin.
Mo Xiao Xia grumbled. ”Lin Yu is now in Shanghai! He said that it's because he has business to discuss with uncle… Humph! Who doesn't know what kind of business he's used to in Xiang Jiang‽ What kind of business would people like him need to discuss?”
”In other words, the man's real business is to come here to chase after the beauty!” Su Zheng said confidently. Then she was smacked jokingly by Mo Xiao Xia, and she cackled.
Rong Su looked at Ye Shuang. ”Brother Ye, who are the people that we've captured anyway?”
”The Xiang Jiang Mafia?” Ye Shuang asked Su Zheng.
Su Zheng consoled Mo Xiao Xia and ran back to nod. ”Yes. Even though I have no idea what kind of conflict it is, I'm sure it has something to do with Lin Yu and his family.”
Ye Shuang nodded back and then took out a familiar phone. She looked through it and then made a call. Mo Xiao Xia looked at the phone and the familiar looking bear decoration. Ten seconds later, she realized with a shock, ”That's my phone!”
”Yea, when you used your bag to hit him earlier, it felt out… Hello? Mr. Lin?” After Ye Shuang dropped a lie to confuse the girl, she stood up with the phone and walked away, leaving behind an anxious Mo Xiao Xia.
”Don't call him!”
Mo Xiao Xia rushed over with a flushed face, trying to grab Ye Shuang, but Rong Su held her back and said, ”Brother Ye knows what he's doing. Let's not disturb him at his work.”
Even though Su Zheng had a good impression of Mo Xiao Xia, she was more cooperative with the agent, so naturally, she helped Rong Su hold the girl back. Just as the two girls held Mo Xiao Xia back, Ye Shuang told Lin Yu everything on the balcony. She hung up after getting the promise that he would come over immediately.
Rice had become porridge. As dissatisfied as Mo Xiao Xia was, she had to accept the fact that Lin Yu was coming.
The poor man in the cap thought that there would be an interrogation, but in the end, they barely even acknowledged him. When they were inside the elevator, the man had thought to himself, I'll never say anything!
After his identity was exposed by Su Zheng, the thought had changed. If the conditions are fair, perhaps I can say something…
In the end, fate was always cruel. His captors did not even notice his presence. After being captured, he had just been left to the side as decoration. Thinking about the fact that he was not even worth interrogating, the man in the cap felt like his future was incredibly lackluster.
