Chapter 1264: Plans Can’t Keep Up with Changes
The others kidnappers nearby couldn’t help but roll their eyes at how sycophantic he looked.
If it were an ugly woman here instead, she probably wouldn’t even bother with this guy. She might’ve even yelled at him like that tattooed man did earlier!
But despite the mocking thoughts in their hearts, after all, they’ve been good brothers and friends for so many years. On matters like this, they would never betray each other.
So at least before heading up the mountain, Bald Qiang’s antics were likely ignored by the other team members.
Zhang Yuxi shook her head as she spoke to him.
"Thank you, Bald Brother. If it weren’t for your kindness today, I might’ve had to struggle up the mountain path with injuries, which would’ve surely left a lasting ailment."
Bald Qiang chuckled, looking quite smug.
He glanced at the other kidnappers and said, "See that? The girl is genuinely grateful to me. You all might finish this job with me and get paid, but do any of you get the affection from the girls at the door?"
After he said this, the others shook their heads speechlessly, clearly seeing that the girl was deliberately stringing Bald along.
But Bald refused to believe it. What could be done? Besides these few, the brothers could only pretend not to notice anything, continue acting, and do nothing else.
Should they beat Bald up instead?
That would just cause internal chaos among them.
So they absolutely wouldn’t do such a thing. Besides, they believed that Bald would eventually see what kind of person the woman truly was.
...
A while later.
Another kidnapper checked the time on his phone and said to Bald Qiang,
"If you want to win the girl over, you’d better hurry. We’re heading up the mountain now. Otherwise, when it gets dark, you won’t see the path and it’ll be no good for you."
Since this place is remote and the terrain treacherous, moving to a combat position was quite tricky, given those words.
Bald instinctively complained about Zhang Kaitian, saying it was his mistake.
"If it weren’t for that boss choosing such a desolate and remote place, would we be in such a hurry when needed?"
"Look how treacherous this place is to walk. It’s fine for us grown men, but if the girl stumbles somewhere, wouldn’t you feel bad?"
The other kidnappers never expected that encountering Zhang Yuxi would change their friend completely.
Zhang Yuxi is indeed exceptionally beautiful, as lovely as a flower.
Even more beautiful than ancient beauties like Diao Chan and Xishi, but is Bald really that captivated?
Shaking their heads, some couldn’t take it anymore and just continued ahead without engaging with Bald...
Bald turned around again, said sycophantically, "Little girl, do you want brother to hold you while you walk?"
After all, they had already agreed earlier that if delayed any longer, by the time they ascend, it would definitely be dark, and they couldn’t see the path.
It would be quite troublesome then, and to avoid potential mishaps, they had no choice but to hit the road.
He couldn’t help it. As much as he wanted to let Zhang Yuxi rest a little longer, he had to heed his brothers’ words.
Zhang Yuxi understood that Bald had gone above and beyond.
If she requested any further, the other kidnappers would surely be dissatisfied.
They wouldn’t go easy on Bald, so she could only adopt a delicate demeanor, nodding as she spoke.
"Thank you, Bald Brother, I’ll walk with you now."
"I can’t hold you up. I believe your boss called us over."
"There’s surely something important, and if I help you with it, he’ll certainly spare me."
Bald Qiang nodded appreciatively as Zhang Yuxi lied, clapping with joy as he said, "That’s right, little sister. We should collaborate, and once we’re done, we can gather again."
"Then we won’t have to be so distant like today."
After speaking, he tried to reach out to hug Zhang Yuxi, but she deftly stepped aside.
It seemed accidental, yet Bald felt a pang of disappointment. But now, walking in the cave, he couldn’t make a move. Zhang Yuxi finally breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise.
She really feared the guy would grab onto her shoulder...
In the mountain cave, Lin Feng arrived with the car, following his instincts to find the place, unable to track Zhang Yuxi’s exact position.
After Zhang Yuxi’s phone location disappeared here, his only option was to charge up the mountain relentlessly.
He wouldn’t stop until he found Zhang Yuxi. Though it was aimless, wasting energy and time, he was extremely anxious.
The first option was to keep moving forward.
The second was to wait for the rescue crew, but who knows if events might change if they wait?
He feared plans would not keep up with changes, so opted to act alone.
As for those people coming later, they had their battle strategies and Lin Feng couldn’t control them.
With Lin Feng climbing, the sky gradually darkened.
His eyes filled with worry.
"I wonder how my dear wife is doing now? She’s never been this far from me, and in such danger, could she be scared?"
"Those guys, if I see them, I’ll beat them up to vent my anger first."
The more worried Lin Feng was for Zhang Yuxi, the more he resented the ones who kidnapped her.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng’s phone rang.
Despite climbing higher, there was still a bit of signal.
His phone was modified, so upon answering, the caller’s voice came through.
