Chapter 80: Friendly Term
The button to the loudspeaker was selected the moment Zhang Qin Feng swiped the answering option on his smartphone. But there was no response from the caller as all they heard was some static noise.
After ten seconds, the call was disconnected and replaced with another call from an entirely new number.
There were voices from the caller this time, but it was not from the caller, but someone Zhang Qin Feng knows well.
"Feng…" Wang Yufei\'s crying voice came out from the phone. Although she only mentioned a word from Zhang Qin Feng\'s name, it still shows how traumatized she is from her shaking tone. This made Zhang Qin Feng almost lost his composure.
To avoid Zhang Qin Feng from standing on the losing side at the beginning of the conversation, Inspector Loong grabbed Zhang Qin Feng\'s cheek before he could answer. Shaking his head furiously while forcing Zhang Qin Feng to look at him, the Inspector only let go of him after he calms down.
"Why aren\'t you speaking?" the caller soon lost his patience and decided to talk first.
"Who is this? What do you want?" Zhang Qin Feng replied accordingly, following the script that the Inspector wrote on a blank notebook.
"You still have no idea who we are? We\'re the Horus Eye Mercenaries. Have you heard of us?" the caller introduced not only himself but their organization as his identity. It seems like he\'s practicing caution while speaking on a direct line like this.
"The terrorist group? What do my uncle and my girlfriend have to do with the terrorist?" Zhang Qin Feng continued to read the script that was written by the Inspector.
"Of course, there\'s a connection. You see… Your uncle loaded some of our \'merchandise\' when our agent is working in his store. Now, one of the boxes was missing."
"You see… I wouldn\'t bother you if it weren\'t essential. But it is, unfortunately. Since my agent died because he failed to do what he should be doing, and your uncle misplaced it, I think the nephew should be helping us to locate it?"
The caller seems to be well-mannered from the friendliness he has shown. But Stein had a different opinion.
[The terrorist is lying. The system noticed 99.97% of trickery behind his words]
\'Stein… I\'m not stupid… Even I can\'t feel that he\'s talking nonsense." Zhang Qin Feng replied by speaking in his mind.
"So, what you want in exchange for both of their safety?" Zhang Qin Feng continues to follow the Inspector\'s script. It seems that from the route his words were going, they\'re trying to know what the terrorist really wants.
"You see, the thing we need is inside the barrel of cooking oil. All you need is to look for the cooking oil that your uncle sold to the shops along the street, and you should found it."
"Don\'t open it as it\'s pretty scary when it\'s opened. Trust me. If you found it, just give me a call at this number, and I\'ll get people to exchange it with your uncle and your girlfriend. Do we have a deal?" the caller even had the leisure to jokes while negotiating.
But only the fool will believe that he was joking around.
"And why should I trust you? Where is my uncle right now?" Zhang Qin Feng continued. It seems this time, it is to confirm that his Uncle Chen is still alive. This way, they can allocate the manpower they needed more systematically.
"Hey, uncle. It seems your nephew wanted to talk with you." the caller said as there\'s some muffled sound from the air friction coming into the loudspeaker. Then, the voice belonged to a middle-aged man can be heard.
"Xiao-Feng! This is uncle\'s fault. I shouldn\'t be greedy and hire a cheap worker. This… Uuh…" after allowing him to speak freely for a sentence, the sound from a masking tape can be heard as his uncle\'s sound is no longer heard.
But through the system\'s high-tech recognition, it has confirmed that the voice indeed belonged to his uncle. The woman\'s sound that called for his name was identified to be Wang Yufei as well.
"Have I get your attention now?" the caller chuckled as he continues to speak on the phone.
"What\'s the deadline?" Zhang Qin Feng asked. This seems to be the last question, and also the most important one. Only by knowing this can the police force know when they can strike.
"If you found it today, I\'ll throw a reward and return both of them in beautiful dress and suit. But if you use more than a week, don\'t blame me if I return your uncle without his genital and your girlfriend that\'s debuted as an AV actress."
"You wouldn\'t want that to happen to them, correct?" the caller continued with the same tone as before, but his choice of words was slightly different. It went harsher by a level. And it was effective because hearing that made Zhang Qin Feng\'s expression changed.
A hint of murderous aura that can only be sensed from veteran combatant was shown on his face. It even shocked the Inspector as he started to suspect if Qin Lan were one of the serial killers the police were looking for.
\'How can a twenty or so brat has such a deep killing intent?\' Inspector Loong almost took his gun out as the pen dropped onto the carpet on the floor.
"It looks like you\'re a man of little words. That\'s just a joke. I\'m a nice man, so how could I do that to your nice uncle and your pretty girlfriend?"
"Just make sure you help us to get what we need, and we\'ll be out of from this country after we\'re finished with what we\'re doing. Let\'s be on a friendly term until we both get what we really want, alright?" the caller said.
"Agreed." this time, Zhang Qin Feng did not wait for the Inspector\'s script as he replied.
"Also… If you need a chauffeur, just let me know. Why bother getting a cab to the police station if you can have some terrorist agents driving you around?" the caller ended the call after a chuckle.
His last word meant warning.
That even if Zhang Qin Feng is in the police station right now, it won\'t be a secret to them.
