"The decision is in your hands … I'll give you 2 hours to think about it."
After speaking, President Fan laughed out loud and hung up the phone. He believed that as long as he managed to threaten Tangning, it would be considered his victory.
But, Tangning wasn't the type of person he expected. The more tense the situation, the deeper she hid her emotions and the calmer she was. So, there was no way she was going to accept President Fan's suggestion. Not only that, she was going to make him pay the heaviest price.
After speaking to President Fan, Tangning immediately gave Mo Ting a phone call and explained the situation they were in and how President Fan was threatening them.
After hearing from President Fan, Mo Ting sat in silence in his office. After quite some time, he finally asked with uncertainty, "You won't be going, right?"
"Of course I will be going, but I need to plan carefully," Tangning replied. "You will arrange everything for me, won't you?"
"Ting, you know me. I don't like being threatened. If I have no choice, I will use extreme methods."
After hearing this, Mo Ting and his wife understood each other.
"I understand. I'll let you know in 2 hours."
Tangning knew that Mo Ting understood what she was thinking. So, all she had to do now was help Lu Che find Lin Qian as soon as possible.
…
By this time, it was already 10 pm. Lin Qian and the hostel owner's daughter asked around and finally found a nearby farmhouse where they could spend the night.
However, the two brothers at the farmhouse were especially friendly towards Lin Qian and Mo Ting, "May I ask why the two of you have come to a remote place like this?"
"We are here to look for someone …"
"Are you also here because of the plane crash?" The older brother asked Lin Qian. "You might not believe me, but when the plane crashed, I was tending to my sheep nearby. Because the crash was too loud, my flock of sheep scattered, so I chased after them all over the place …"
"What else?"
"Also, I met a soldier who was covered in wounds. He was tall and skinny, and he walked down the canyon. Because I was afraid, I didn't dare to show myself to ask him … Could it be that you're looking for him?"
As soon as Lin Qian heard this, she grabbed onto the man's shirt and asked, "Did you really see him?"
"I really saw him. How could I lie about something like this?"
"He's still alive?"
"Yes, he can still walk. However, there are many wild beasts downstream. I don't know if he can make it out." The man said helplessly, "We're all from the mountains. We've never seen the outside world, so we don't know if it's good or bad. So, I don't dare to get close to him …"
As soon as Lin Qian heard this, tears began to form in her eyes. It seemed, all she wanted to do right now was to enter the depths of the canyon and search for Li Jin.
However, the hostel owner's daughter kept sizing up the two brothers. She felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
"Ningxiang …"
"Miss Lin, I know you're very anxious right now, but it's getting dark and we can't go in. Plus, no one has been to the center of the canyon before, so we don't know what's there. Even if you want to go, you'll have to hold on until tonight," the hostel owner's daughter said seriously. "Don't be stubborn."
After Lin Qian heard this, she nodded her head. If she was alone, she might have a chance. But, she was carrying someone with her, so she couldn't ignore their safety.
"Then you better be obedient and rest early to recover your energy."
Lin Qian did as she was told …
…
It was eight o 'clock in the evening.
It was already the 2-hour time limit that President Fan mentioned, but Tangning continued to wait for Mo Ting's phone call. Finally, at the last minute, Tangning's phone rang.
"I've already done what you wanted me to do."
"Is it his daughter or wife?"
"They're both here," Mo Ting replied.
The conversation between the two men was short, but it was the main point. To put it simply, Mo Ting had given President Fan's daughter and wife a taste of his own medicine by inviting them to one of Hai Rui's hotels to enjoy a sumptuous dinner.
Afterwards, Tangning gave President Fan a phone call.
"Have you made up your mind? Are you going to go or not? "President Fan asked.
Tangning looked at the time and asked, "President Fan, I'm currently treating your daughter and wife to dinner. I'm sure you don't mind, do you?"
President Fan never expected that Tangning would do something like this. She was going to give him a taste of his own medicine.
So, he wasn't prepared for it. He never expected that Tangning would actually do something like this!
"I've always thought that President Tang is a righteous person and wouldn't resort to such underhanded methods."
"I've always treated people differently. I treat people with the attitude of a servant, but I treat a wolf with the ruthlessness of a wolf. So, are you going to tell me where Lin Qian is?" Tangning asked. "Since we've already formed a grudge, I don't plan to hold back anymore. Let's make a bet. I'll treat your wife and daughter the same way you treat Lin Qian …"
President Fan gritted his teeth. He never expected that he would once again be the one being played by Tangning.
"Tangning, you're going to die a horrible death …"
"I never expected anything good to happen to anyone that provoked you. But, don't compete with me in terms of ruthlessness. You can't beat me."
Of course, President Fan didn't want to compromise, so he threatened, "If you're so capable, go ahead and hold them captive. Let's see how you explain yourself to the police."
"I don't need to explain myself. Even if I end up in jail, I still have Mo Ting and my two sons. I still have the Tang Family and the Mo Family. With so many people around, I'm sure I can make you suffer a fate worse than death."
"Oh, by the way, I'm sure you know how Ting is. He's not someone that you can afford to offend. I'll give you one night to think about it. I want an answer tomorrow morning."
After speaking, Tangning hung up the phone. This time, she was the one in charge.
Actually, after Mo Ting picked up President Fan's wife and daughter, he explained everything to her. President Fan's wife was a righteous person and didn't want her husband to commit any more crimes, so she agreed to stay at the hotel. Mo Ting, of course, took good care of them. After all, he couldn't be compared to the jerk President Fan.
As a result, both sides were in a heated situation. Neither side was willing to give in. Meanwhile, Lu Che was also trying his best to find Lin Qian.
…
At this moment, Lin Qian had no idea that because of her, a battle between Tangning and President Fan was about to break out.
She only dreamt of Li Jin in her dreams.
In her dream, Li Jin looked even bigger.
"Qian Qian, don't look for me … don't."
Lin Qian woke up with a start. As she sat up, her eyes were filled with tears.
Luckily, it was already morning. Otherwise, she wouldn't have known how she would survive the long night.
It didn't take long before she and Ning Xiang arrived. At this time, Tangning received a phone call from President Fan, "I won't tell you where Lin Qian is. If you want to take the mother and daughter's life, then go ahead and take it."
