Ye Jinghong really was a straightforward person.
She never dragged her feet when doing anything.
Unlike me, I was often indecisive, always overthinking and worrying about every possibility.
They took us into an Iveco van.
Ye Jinghong and I were naturally separated, while Ling Lan sat directly beside me.
"Tell me, what exactly do you want?" I asked.
Ling Lan turned to look at me with a smile on her face. "Control of the Three Great Ancient Clans."
I narrowed my eyes. I had suspected before that they might be after the Three Great Ancient Clans. Sure enough, I had been right.
"Do you think they would listen to you even if I handed that control over to you?" I asked flatly.
Ling Lan shook her head. "I'm not talking only about control on the surface. I heard that the Three Great Ancient Clans only listen to Mr. Jiang, and that Mr. Jiang holds the key to their entry into the world. If they want to enter the world, they must have Mr. Jiang's approval. So, we hope that you will listen to us."
I understood. They wanted to control me, then use me to control the Three Great Ancient Clans.
"In other words, you want to kidnap me?"
"Kidnap? That's an ugly way to put it. We simply want to cooperate with Mr. Jiang."
"Is this how you always cooperate with people?"
Ling Lan's smile vanished. "Mr. Jiang, there is no room for negotiation in this matter. If you agree to cooperate, we can release Ms. Bingbing first. Of course, we will also take good care of Little Nian Bai."
I said nothing, but Ye Jinghong, seated in the back, spoke up. "Aren't you afraid that doing this will get all of you killed in Great Xia?"
