Chapter 1875 - 1871: Arrogant Kidnappers
Ouyang sneered, "Are you okay now? You go do it, you go do it. Isn’t it about time you step back in fear?"
"Pah, do you know what that’s called? That’s called advancing through retreat. When I step back, it makes them feel inflated all at once. This way, they’ll underestimate us and that’ll give you the chance to catch everyone in one net. What do you know?"
Ouyang grunted, not commenting.
But looking at Mu Yeli, he asked, "So, what do you say we do now? We’re in the open, they’re in the dark, and finding people, especially these scumbags, is not our forte."
Mu Yeli sat there, "We can only make them take the initiative."
"What? Wait for them to come to us? That’s a bit too passive."
"Once they make a move, they’ll leave traces. Be patient."
Ouyang said, "So, the place we need to go tonight, can you go? How are you going to explain to Ye Ning over there, considering it’s a bit dangerous? Maybe you shouldn’t go."
Mu Yeli replied, "What I do, doesn’t make sense to do halfway."
Ouyang said, "Then about Ye Ning..."
"I’ll explain properly, and besides, she’s not the type to control whether I go out or not."
"Ha. Aren’t you henpecked?" Jiang Yubai said.
Mu Yeli looked outside, "I’m willing to be henpecked because she’s a rational woman."
Putting on his coat, he walked out, saying, "It’s just that sometimes, she gets a little emotional."
Watching Mu Yeli speak these words, with a trace of inexplicable smile at the corner of his lips, the other two couldn’t help but smirk.
...
In the dark, abandoned factory.
A few flickering lights made the place inexplicably eerie.
They chose this place for negotiations to give an emotionally oppressive vibe.
When the three walked in, Jiang Yubai shuddered first, but upon seeing Ouyang, who was always a bookworm and never cared about these things, standing next to Mu Yeli, seemingly fearless, Jiang Yubai quickly suppressed his emotions, shrugged his shoulders, and walked over.
At this moment, the few people across the room were already grinning as they looked over.
"You said just to bring you few, so it’s just you few, huh, Mu Yeli, where are your lackeys?"
The man, picking his teeth, bit onto the toothpick and looked this way.
Mu Yeli grunted, "I don’t need those to speak with you, just say what you need to say."
The man grunted back, threw the toothpick to the ground, stomped on it, and then said, "Alright, speak, what do you want?"
Mu Yeli looked at him, "I know, that kidnapping case, you were behind it. Where are those people now?"
"Hey, get it straight, we are law-abiding citizens now, how could we be involved in something like kidnapping?"
Mu Yeli said, "I’m here to find you, regardless of your shady dealings. I just want to know where those people are."
These people, when at the top, engage in all sorts of shady acts. Frustratingly, no matter what, no evidence of theirs can be found. They’re arrogant but shrewd, straightforward, yet leave no legitimate evidence, allowing their arrogance to escalate.
Before, they were involved in a kidnapping case that shocked many.
They kidnapped the eldest son of the Li Family in City X and audaciously demanded money.
They warned them that if they reported to the police, their family’s eldest son would be in danger.
