V4C90 – Not Funny (1/2)
“You were talking about this ring?” Meng QingQing had some doubts. Even if that ring was very valuable, there wasn’t a need for the opposite party to be so enthusiastic to get it, right? From the actions and habits of the people before her, it was obvious that they weren’t foreigners living in China. Ignoring the fact that they came here traveling far and wide, just from their guns, it was apparent that they had spent a lot of effort! China’s firearms management was very strict, especially when it came to entry and exit in the country. Was the ring really worth so much trouble?
“Yes, but I don’t have to tell you much about the reasons. We were only hired to get it, as for why the people behind us want it, we don’t know,” After Tom had switched off the large screen, he continued saying, “Miss Meng, I wonder what your decision is going to be?”
“What if I don’t hand over the ring?” Meng QingQing asked.
“In any case, we have a lot of free time so it doesn’t matter. When you have thought it through, let us know,” though that foreigner very indifferently said those words, his expression clearly said: If you don’t hand it over, don’t even think of leaving this place!
“This ring is very important to me. I don’t mean its value, but it’s significance. It’s the proof of love and also the betrothal ring given to me by my husband. Therefore, it’s very hard for me to take the responsibility of giving it to you!” Right now, the only thought Meng QingQing had was to somehow inform me, because she knew that I could save her no matter what!
“Hehe, Miss Meng, do you want to call someone then? It doesn’t matter! You can just ask your husband to bring the ring here!” Tom immediately revealed Meng QingQing’s intentions, but he didn’t object to her at all. Instead, he evenhanded his phone to Meng QingQing. {TL Note: facepalms}
Meng QingQing looked at the two self-confident men before her and then immediately dialed my number.
“Hello? Who might it be?” When I noticed that the number displayed on my phone was a strange number, I immediately answered the phone on reflex. I had been holding the phone in my hand for a while as I knew that if Meng QingQing was kidnapped on purpose, then the kidnappers will certainly contact me!
“Husband, it’s me!” Meng QingQing’s gentle voice passed through the receiver, “I was kidnapped by two foreigners, but there’s nothing for you to worry about – they didn’t harm me in any way.”
“QingQing, it’s really you. What do they want?” I didn’t start on greeting her normally, or ask her where she was; those would just be idiotic questions. Since Meng QingQing called me and her voice didn’t show any discomfort or any other anomaly, it was at least confirmed that she was safe! If she had known where she was, she would have certainly told me directly. If she didn’t know, then me asking her would just be in vain, so I directly got to the point and inquired what the scoundrels wanted. It seems that they couldn’t get anything out of Meng QingQing, so they were now going to ask for it!
“They asked for the ring! The engagement ring that you gave me…” Meng QingQing said.
“Engagement ring!?” I couldn’t understand her words, so I asked, “What do they want the ring for?”
“They didn’t say anything about that…” Before Meng QingQing could finish her words, the phone was snatched by the foreigner, “Well, since you two want to discuss your sentimental matters, I will say it directly!”
“Who are you?” I coldly asked, “What I hate the most is when someone interrupts me when I am talking to my wife!”
“My name is Jerry, but it’s obviously just a code name. You can think of it as a fictitious name we use, but in reality, it’s actually my real name as well! Hahaha,” the foreigner thought that his words were funny, so he started laughing.
