Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

Chapter 764

Lu Jingyuan glanced at the leader. “Calm down, will you? I'm having a discussion with Mr. Nan. What good will shouting do? Will it solve anything?”

“Then have him pay up right now! All you're doing is discussing unrelated matters.”

“Can't you see I'm talking to him right now? Could you not interrupt us?” Lu Jingyuan snapped.

The leader was seething. I can't believe this woman is behaving so impudently when her life is in my hands!

“I will pay the ransom, but you must first release them,” Nan Chen said, deliberately making things difficult for the kidnappers.

The leader grew flustered again, but Lu Jingyuan did not allow him to interrupt this time. She shot him a glance, signaling him to calm down.

“Give him the money, Mr. Nan. I will pay you back after this. Please help me and my children.”

As the conversation progressed, they kept coming back to the same point. Lu Jingyuan continued pleading with Nan Chen to pay, but Nan Chen wasn't willing to.

That was the only way they could buy more time.

“I'm not saying I won't pay, I'm just worried that they will still take you abroad after I do,” Nan Chen repeated his earlier concern.

The leader had had enough. “Are you done? Didn't we already agree that I would release them as soon as you sent me the money? What are you trying to do now?”

“You know what I want. Release them, and then I'll pay you.”

“How can I be sure you'd pay me after I release them? Nice try. I'll give you another couple of hours. If you don't pay up, I'll kill the little girl and bring the woman out of the country,” the kidnapper yelled before hanging up.

The more he mulled it over, however, the more disconcerted he became at the realization that he had been played like a fiddle.

“Nan is never going to pay up, is he? Did you gang up with him to deceive me?”

“Why would I do that? We are your captives. What good can I get out of lying to you?” Lu Jingyuan answered his question with a question.

The leader found it hard to refute her words, but his gut told him something was off although he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

After hanging up, Nan Chen turned toward the man seated across from him in Lu Jingyuan's villa in Livingsfill.

The man was in his forties, had a square face, imposing eyebrows, and healthy darker skin. He held himself decorously, sitting upright. Just one look at him was sufficient for one to tell that his dignified air was developed from a life spent working in the special forces.

Despite his age, he was still handsome. He emanated an aura unique to his profession in the special forces that made it clear he was not a man to be trifled with.

He was Lu Zhan, Lu Jingyuan's elder brother, who had retired three years prior from the military and was now employed in a department in the special forces.

Through his connections, Qiao Zhan had, with some difficulty, discovered how to get in touch with Lu Zhan. Coincidentally, the latter was in Flower City on a business trip.

After Lu Zhan joined Nan Chen, they boarded an exclusive plane and flew to Livingsfill.

When Qiao Zhan was filling Lu Zhan in on the details of the incident, he was surprised to discover that the latter was even more reticent than Nan Chen.

Lu Zhan practically did not say a word. Instead, his assistant was the one asking about the situation.

Throughout the flight from Flower City to Livingsfill, Nan Chen spoke five sentences, while Lu Zhan only spoke three.

Qiao Zhan would have assumed Lu Zhan was mute if the latter did not speak up when they were about to arrive at Livingsfill.
