"Well," He Lichen replied firmly, "They haven't said the time and location yet, so we still have time. You and Nick prepare 10 million first, and I will book the earliest flight there. We will discuss the details after we meet."
He Lichen was worried about Yiyang and Xu Wei. After all, he had regarded Yiyang as his younger brother since he was a child, and Xu Wei was his true love. He wanted to protect them both. As an older brother, he had the obligation to always be in front.
"Well, then Nick and I will wait for you." Song Yiyang had no choice but to listen to Brother Lichen, but he still felt unsure and asked, "Brother Lichen, are you sure that Xu Wei is safe?"
He Lichen was not completely sure, but thinking about the conversation he had with the other party just now, he felt a little more certain.
"Well, it's safe." He Lichen said.
Song Yiyang felt more comforted.
Without further chatting, Song Yiyang told Nick what had happened after hanging up the phone, and the two of them waited for He Lichen to arrive.
…
When He Lichen rushed to this city, it was already early the next morning. Song Yiyang and Nick picked him up at the airport, and the three of them went back to the hotel where Song Yiyang stayed.
Everyone remained silent on the way, but when we arrived at the hotel, the discussion started.
"Is the money ready?" He Lichen asked.
"Yeah, ready, it's all cash." Nick replied.
He Lichen nodded and looked towards Song Yiyang, "I have also communicated with the cooperative company. From now on, they will admit to the outside world that we have given up the cooperation, but the time they gave us is before the previously agreed signing time.
If we fail to sign the contract on time, then we have really given up."
"The previous agreement was three o'clock tomorrow afternoon." Song Yiyang said.
"So we have to sign the contract on time before three o'clock tomorrow," He Lichen said.
Song Yiyang nodded, and then asked, "Did they tell you the time and place?"
"As I said, it will be two o'clock this afternoon." He Lichen said.
"So what do we do?" Nick asked.
"My idea is..."
The three of them began to discuss strategies together.
On this day, in the morning, the three of them were not sleepy even though they had not slept all night last night. By twelve o'clock, the three of them set off from the hotel together. Nick had already arranged for his men to ambush near the agreed place.
On the other side, Xu Wei was huddled in the corner of the bed. He didn't sleep a wink last night. Xu Wei's mental state was okay now, but his mind was already full of random thoughts.
Thinking about all the consequences for myself, thinking about...Song Yiyang.
During the time he stayed here, the person Xu Wei thought about the most was Song Yiyang. He missed him more than his family, because he fell in love with him when he was young, gave everything he had, and experienced hardships. Now that he meets him, he has always been rejected.
I miss him, don't want to get close to him, don't want to give him a chance again, but...
When a person's life is threatened and in a difficult situation, he often realizes what he should have cherished but failed to cherish before.
Xu Wei finally understood this time that since she fell in love with Song Yiyang, she was destined to love him like this for the rest of her life. Her heart has not changed, but she is obsessed with caring about a mistake he made in the past, punishing him and punishing herself, until now.
Thinking about myself and him now, I am entangled with him and wandering around Meng Sihang. I am very tired and heartbroken. I have love and hate for him. I am just suitable and moved by Meng Sihang. In fact, I know that I
The person I want to be with in my heart is Song Yiyang from beginning to end.
Xu Wei regretted it. Under such circumstances, Xu Wei regretted that she had rejected Song Yiyang when she first met Song Yiyang when she was working. When Song Yiyang begged her, she also regretted her rejection and indifference to Song Yiyang again and again.
If I can escape, if... I can survive, even if I have been hurt, I still want to be with the person I love most, because... I love him.
"Yiyang, I miss you." Xu Wei cried and murmured a few words, her mind filled with Song Yiyang.
Suddenly, Xu Wei heard a sound, the sound of the door opening.
Xu Wei immediately raised his head and looked at the door warily.
The door was opened and two men came in.
The two men walked to the bed, roughly pulled Xu Wei over from the corner of the bed, and dragged Xu Wei away.
"Where are you taking me?" Xu Wei asked fearfully.
What are they going to do? What are they going to do to themselves? Or... are they going to kill themselves?
"Cut the fucking nonsense," one man said.
"Say it again, be careful I kill you."
Xu Wei was so frightened that she did not dare to speak any more and her breathing became rapid.
Fortunately, Xu Wei saw them throw her into the car, a man sat in and looked at her, and the car door was closed.
Xu Wei guessed in her mind, where they should take her? But in her heart, she was still very scared.
The agreed location was an office building in an industrial area. Song Yiyang and his party set out from the hotel together, but in the city, the three of them separated.
He Lichen drove the car that Song Yiyang had driven before and drove to the agreed industrial area from another road, while Nick drove Song Yiyang. The two of them found the nearest road to reach that place before He Lichen.
Near the industrial area, when Nick's men saw a black van driving into the industrial area, they hurriedly reported it to their boss.
Nick drove the car and when he received the call, he turned on the speakerphone and listened to the report from his subordinates with Song Yiyang.
"Boss, a black van drove into the industrial area."
Nick and Song Yiyang looked at each other, and they guessed that Xu Wei must be in the car.
"Keep an eye on it and use the telescope to see which room in the office building is moving." Nick guessed.
If Lichen went to see Joseph, Xu Wei might not be with Joseph, so... they would probably lock Xu Wei in another place.
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Nick and Song Yiyang continued to rush to the industrial area.
On He Lichen's side, just halfway through the journey, he received a call from Joseph himself.
"Hey, I didn't expect you to come in person."
"I am a qualified boss." He Lichen replied, only making the other party think that he was here to save his employees.
"A person?" Joseph asked.
"What if?"
"I thought you would bring your colleagues."
"If he knew that you kidnapped his girlfriend, he would have the intention to kill you." He Lichen replied, his tone not good at all.
If he were in Xigang City, he would have confronted such a person long ago and given him a bloody lesson. However, in other places, his abilities are limited after all, and he still needs to be smart in doing things.
"Oh," Joseph said confidently, "can he succeed in my territory?"
"So you think what you think is ridiculous?" He Lichen asked back, slapping him in the face.
Joseph knew it well, so he just smiled and said, "Hey, I admire your IQ." (To be continued)
