"Hah!" Ou Luoxi laughed."What do you want? Just say it."
"Young master Gong Ming, you killed my father, swallowed the efforts of several generations of our Osaka Group, and drove us out of Japan. Now, we are now like stray dogs. This hatred is as deeply entrenched in our blood!"
"Well, I regret it now."
"Oh, Young Master Gong Ming regrets it?"
"Yes, I regret that I didn't remove the root of the problem because of my kindness."
"You!" That other party was obviously angry but quickly suppressed it."Ok, Young Master Gong Ming, let me be straightforward then. I want money, one hundred million dollars, no less."
"Place of transaction?" Ou Luoxi asked curtly.
"I'll let you know again. Tomorrow morning we will do the exchange — money in exchange for the person."
"And my daughter? I want to hear her voice."
"Ok."
Xia Xiaofu could hear Little Xuyan's voice immediately. She quickly sat next to Ou Luoxi, brought her head close, and listened together with him.
Ou Luoxi reached for her soft waist and held her close.
The cry of Little Xuyan came quickly from the other end."Mommy... I want Mommy... Mommy, where are you?"
"Little Xuyan, " Xia Xiaofu said quickly."Don't be afraid, Little Xuyan. Mommy is here. Today, some uncles are playing games with you. They have no bad intentions... Tomorrow morning, Mommy will pick you up. During this time, you should be obedient and don't let yourself get hurt. Understand?"
She was most afraid that Little Xuyan 's incessant crying would test the patience of the people. They would definitely hit Little Xuyan if they are angered.
She hoped that Little Xuyan would calm down and wait for her to rescue her.
...
"Mommy..." Little Xuyan kept crying."Can you come sooner? These uncles are so fierce. I'm afraid..."
"Ok, Ok. Mommy will be there sooner." Xia Xiaofu still wanted to talk, but the phone at that end had been snatched away by Mr. Tao Ci.
"Young master Gong Ming, you've heard the voice. You have one night. Hurry up and raise the money."
Ou Luoxi quietly said, "There will not be a cent less, but you'd better not touch my daughter or else you will be dead before you get to spend the money!"
"Hmph!" With that, the other end just hung up.
When the call ended, Ah Li said, "Young Master, the signal source of the call just now has been located by us. The signal source came from a village under Wenchang Road, named Dun Qiao Village. There are about 50 households in this village. The terrain is dangerous and narrow. If they are hiding in Dun Qiao Village, it will be difficult for us. The investigation of each household one by one will definitely raise an alarm."
Ou Luoxi sneered."I didn't expect that Mr. Tao Ci would be smarter than his father. Send some people to prepare US dollars, and also prepare cars and set off for Dun Qiao Village."
"Yes, Sir." Ah Li turned and left.
Xia Xiaofu was still in his embrace, upset. Ou Luoxi raised his hand to stroke her hair and said, "You stay in this room today. I will send someone to protect you. Don't be afraid, and have a good night's sleep. I promise that you will see Little Xuyan when you open your eyes tomorrow morning. I will bring her back."
"Are you going to Dun Qiao Village? I'll go with you."
"No, it's dangerous. You won't be of help even if you go there. You'll stay here and wait for me." He refused.
The tears that Xia Xiaofu had just stopped started falling again. She looked at him tearfully and choked out, "If I stay here... a day will seem like a year. With you and Little Xuyan gone, if you two have an accident, I wouldn't want to live anymore..."
Ou Luoxi's eyes brightened. He held out two fingers and gently clasped her jaw."You said us? You meant Little Xuyan and... me? You still... care for me?"
Xia Xiaofu was stunned, then pushed his hand quickly. She turned to wipe her tears and did not speak.
Ou Luo x's delicate features softened, and he stood up.
At this moment, Chen Jingyu, who had kept quiet all this while, also stood up."Young master Gong Ming, I'll go to Dun Qiao Village with you. If you need any help, just let me know."
Ou Luo Xi shook his head."Thank you for your kindness, Officer Chen, but Little Xuyan's matter has nothing to do with you. This time, we don't plan to alarm the police. Your status is special. If something happened to you, I couldn't take responsibility."
"Young Master Gong Ming..." Chen Jingyu wanted to insist.
"Mr. Chen, " Xia Xiaofu interrupted."These kidnappers are well prepared. As an outsider, don't get involved. If you are hurt because of Little Xuyan, I will feel guilty all my life."
Chen Jingyu looked at the two of them. Little Xuyan was in trouble, and they both were standing on the same front line with such tacit understanding. He really looked like an outsider.
"Young Master Gong Ming, you really don't need the police?"
...
Ou Luoxi nodded."I have contacted the military. The people sent by my second older brother are on their way. We will be heading to join them. Goodbye, Officer Chen."
Ou Luoxi looked at Xia Xiaofu and reached a hand out to her.
"Sir, I'm leaving." Xia Xiaofu put her hand in Ou Luoxi's and left the hotel room with him.
Ou Luoxi and Xia Xiaofu got in the back seat of the car. Ah Li was driving, and the car went out steadily.
"Xiaofu, the journey will take about four hours. If you are sleepy, close your eyes and sleep for a while."
Xia Xiaofu shook her head. She didn't want to sleep at all."Is Mr. Tao Ci Mr. Osaka's son?" she asked.
"Well, I got rid of Mr Osaka at that party, but I didn't touch Mr. Tao Ci. This Tao Ci even had the nerve to kidnap Little Xuyan. But don't be afraid. Tao Ci came for me. If I don't show up, Little Xuyan will be the gold medal protecting his life. He wouldn't dare to touch Little Xuyan." Ou Luoxi comforted her.
She had heard a little about what happened at the party. Xia Xiaofu turned her head and looked out of the window.
Suddenly, her hand was wrapped in a warm palm."Xiaofu, I had a plan regarding Mr. Osaka. I would not have given you to him, and I would not have married Gong Ling. Didn't I say that when the party was over, I'd take you and Little Xuyan to travel, but why were you so silly?"
She was indeed silly.. He didn't need her help at all, yet she foolishly ran into Mr Osaka's room and cut her wrists. She simply didn't want him to be put on the spot.
Perhaps out of embarrassment, she shook off his hand.
But the next second, her little shoulder was clasped by a strong arm, and she was embraced against a broad chest.
Xia Xiaofu struggled as if she had been stung by a bee."Let go!"
Despite her opposition, Ou Luoxi dropped his gaze and kissed her little face."Xiaofu, stop playing the fool, yea? We need to conserve our energy to save Little Xuyan, so please be good. Close your eyes and sleep for a while."
