"Who are you? What have you done to Pan Xiaorou?"
As I questioned the unfamiliar man on the phone, Song Xiaotian and I went into the room and shut the door.
"Relax. President Pan is perfectly fine right now."
The unfamiliar man laughed. "But whether she'll stay that way is another question."
Song Xiaotian's face was livid. Seeing how unstable he was, I hurriedly asked, "What do you want? Do you know who Pan Xiaorou is? How dare you touch her!"
The unfamiliar man laughed. "Of course I know. She's a major entrepreneur in your Lanjiang City, the chairwoman of Jiangling Group. Unfortunately, this isn't Lanjiang City. This is Lin City."
I took a breath to calm myself down. "Just tell me. What will it take for you to let her go? Money?"
"Heh, I don't need that little bit of money."
"My name is Jiang Dahai. Now you know who I am, right?"
Jiang Dahai?
Who the fuck was that?
Song Xiaotian reminded me, "He's that developer."
It clicked immediately. So it was that bastard!
He was the bastard who'd had something buried at the construction site and gotten Seventh Master hurt. That night at Xu Family Village, he had also sent people to hunt down An Ning and me.
"Boss Jiang, you're resorting to kidnapping over a business matter? Do you think you're above the law?" I demanded angrily.
Jiang Dahai said coldly, "I won't waste any more time with you. Come over and we'll talk. If the talk goes well, I'll let President Pan go. But I'm warning you: don't call Lin Jinhua unless you want President Pan dead."
I couldn't help swearing. "This is between you and Lin Jinhua. What does it have to do with us? We're just people he hired to do a job.
