Chapter 85

After studying the Feng Ying family, Ning Yi realized just how deep the pit Feng Ying Kong had dug for him was. However, he didn’t dwell on it much. With his current strength, he had no right to get involved in such a mess.

Besides, who was Feng Ying Kong? If he had arranged things this way, he must have a backup plan.

Moreover, what he could see of the Feng Ying family was just the tip of the iceberg. He knew nothing about what was inside, so there was no need for him to worry about it.

That evening, as usual, Ning Yi changed his clothes and was about to head to Baoxing Entertainment to earn some points.

However, this time he was going alone. Li Jiawei had some family matters and couldn’t come, Chen Liu said he had some personal business and didn’t come, and Gao Baozhen naturally wouldn’t follow, so Ning Yi went by himself.

Just as he was about to leave, he received a call from Chen Liu. When he answered, a sinister voice came through, not Chen Liu’s. Ning Yi frowned and asked, “Who are you?”

“You don’t need to know who I am! You just need to know one thing.” The other party paused, “Your good friend, the owner of this phone, is in our hands.”

“What do you want?” Ning Yi was startled, but quickly regained his composure. Chen Liu was supposed to go today, but said he had something to do and wouldn’t come. He didn’t expect this to happen.

“I don’t want anything, but your good friend played with a woman who happens to be my girlfriend, so now we’re going to take some parts from him as a slight punishment.”

Ning Yi laughed coldly, “Get to the point, what do you want?”

“Uh… how did you know we have demands?”

“Are you an idiot? If you didn’t have demands, you would have just chopped him up without calling me.” Ning Yi said, but in his mind, he was wondering who had Chen Liu. Chen Liu was indeed a playboy, so it was possible he had played with someone’s girlfriend. No wonder he said he wasn’t going to Baoxing Entertainment today; he must have gone to hook up with a girl.

However, the tone of the other party didn’t seem very professional.

“Shut up, if you want your friend to live, prepare 50,000 yuan and come to Maple Leaf Road to redeem him. If you call the police, I can’t guarantee his parts will still be intact.”

The other party seemed to get angry at Ning Yi’s sarcasm.

Ning Yi thought for a moment. He could come up with 50,000 yuan, but if Chen Liu had really played with someone’s girlfriend, could this be settled with just 50,000 yuan?

He was suspicious, but he put on a pitiful voice, “Brother, you know I’m a student, and a poor one at that. Where am I supposed to get 50,000 yuan?”

The other party sneered, “If you don’t have it, you can borrow it. Your good friend said you have a rich friend, borrowing 50,000 yuan from her shouldn’t be hard.”

“You know a lot,” Ning Yi said calmly, “But how do I know you’re not lying? You say my friend is in your hands, do you have any proof?”

“Shut up, do you want him to live or not!” The other party was furious, “If it’s fake, how would we have his phone?”

Ning Yi calmed down, “There are too many scammers these days. The phone could have been stolen. How can I trust you? How about this, send me a video of him in your hands, or I won’t believe you.”

The other party cursed and hung up.

Ning Yi frowned. He was pretty sure Chen Liu was in their hands, but who they were was still a mystery.

Given Chen Liu’s personality, he wouldn’t have told them that he and Li Jiawei were good friends, let alone that Li Jiawei was a rich girl.

So it seemed the other party knew quite a bit about him, at least enough to know that Li Jiawei and he were close enough to lend 50,000 yuan.

So, it couldn’t be a honey trap!

If not, it must have been Du Wen, Ma Pi, or Guo Hui who sent someone!

Just as he was thinking, the other party sent a photo from Chen Liu’s phone.

In the photo, Chen Liu was indeed tied to a chair in a dark room, which looked like a hotel room.

The poor guy had a pair of underwear stuffed in his mouth, probably his own. Ning Yi felt a bit sympathetic, considering this guy could go two or three days without changing his underwear.

Damn, did this guy really go to hook up?

“Can you believe it now?” The other party called back quickly.

“I believe it, but I need time to prepare the money,” Ning Yi said, pretending to be anxious.

“How long?”

“How should I know? It’s so late, you know the banks are closed. Even if I transfer the money, there’s a limit on ATM withdrawals… Can you reduce the amount?” Ning Yi asked in a negotiating tone.

“Fine, how much do you have?” The other party sounded impatient.

“Um, 3,000 yuan!” Ning Yi said slowly.

The other party was silent for a long time, then the sinister voice became impatient, “Damn, bring it over! Remember, no tricks.”

“Where?”

“Maple Leaf Road, the alley to the left of Xinhai Hotel.”

Ning Yi looked and indeed, Chen Liu had gone to a hotel. What a guy.

He took a taxi and quickly arrived at the location. As soon as he got out, the alley looked dark and sinister, perfect for a robbery.

As soon as he got out, the other party called him.

“Go into the alley!”

Ning Yi hesitated for a moment, then walked in.

A few steps in, he felt a breeze behind him. Two iron pipes came at his head.

Ning Yi laughed coldly, ducked, and struck back, hitting one of the ambushers in the chest, knocking him to the ground.

The other one was stunned, then realized his iron pipe had been taken away. Ning Yi struck back, knocking him to the ground as well.

“Come out, don’t hide!” Ning Yi said calmly.

Ning Yi quickly sensed that there were at least three people at the second level of Qi cultivation within a few meters.

“Clap, clap, clap!”

After a few scattered claps, several familiar figures emerged.

Ning Yi looked and indeed, it was as he had expected. One was Guo Yan, and two others were probably Guo Hui’s lackeys. Behind them were six or seven burly men in black.

You really don’t change, do you?

Ning Yi mocked, “Just you few small fries, where’s Guo Hui?”

“Want to know? Crawl under my legs, and you’ll find out.” Guo Yan spread his legs and smiled smugly.

“With you?” Ning Yi frowned, “Where’s Chen Liu?”

“Ning Yi, I’ll tell you the truth, Chen Liu is on the third floor of the hotel… In ten minutes, my men will start chopping his limbs, but if you can defeat us, you can go save him anytime.” Guo Yan smiled smugly.

Ning Yi clenched his fists, ready to attack.

Guo Yan laughed maniacally, “Wait, I have one more question. Do you want to save Chen Liu first, or do you want to save Miss Gu first?”

“What do you mean?” Ning Yi’s heart sank.

“Ha, you think you’re smart. I’ll tell you the truth, when you left, we used Chen Liu’s phone to call Miss Gu, saying you were very sick. Do you think Miss Gu will immediately rush back to your place?”

“You bastards, what do you want?” Ning Yi’s fists clenched tightly.

“It’s simple. Chen Liu is on the third floor, and in ten minutes, my men will start chopping his limbs.” Guo Yan sneered, “On Miss Gu’s side, we have a cup of a drug that takes effect in five minutes, and we’ve arranged two burly men. Do you think any man wouldn’t like a beauty like Miss Gu? But don’t worry, we’ll give you a free set of photos… Ha, well, you can do the math. If you want to save Miss Gu, you won’t have time to save Chen Liu, and if you want to save Chen Liu, you won’t have time to save Miss Gu.”
