Old Dong is a smart man and immediately understood what Jiang Yue meant.
Pretending that Master Liu was controlled by Lao Dong, pretending that Zimu Guiban was at risk of being destroyed, he asked for two children in exchange.
In terms of value, the weight of the two children is indeed far less than the value of Master Liu and his mother, Onibata.
Seeing the surprised look on Old Dong's face, Jiang Yue said: "I'm just giving you a suggestion, don't be too optimistic. It's certainly possible to do this, but there are risks."
"Risk? Will it be discovered?" Lao Dong thought about it again and again, and always felt that the risk was the smallest if he did this.
It would be an extravagant hope to really expect the other party to be kind and return the child to him intact. In Lao Dong's view, the unscrupulous behavior of this group of people would never be so easy to talk to.
"Whether you will be discovered depends on your acting skills. The risk I am talking about is not about being discovered, but whether they will do anything to the child?"
This is the most difficult to guard against.
After all, the child is in the other person's hands. By using coercion and confrontation, it is difficult to ensure that the other party will not become angry from shame, poison the child, plant poison, or do other tricks.
There are indeed huge consequences in this.
"What should we do?" Although Old Dong was a little clever, he had no insight in this area and was really at a loss for a while.
"The initiative is in your hands. It depends on how you play this hand and how you make good use of the chips in your hand."
Regarding how to operate it specifically, it is actually difficult for Jiang Yue to give any absolutely safe plan.
After all, the organization behind it behaves strangely and with evil nature, and no one can tell what tricks they will play or what tricks they will do.
Think about the two days ago in that abandoned unfinished building, those guys who tried to deal with Yu Yuan immediately committed suicide by taking poison once they were defeated. There must be very cruel methods behind this kind of execution.
If they don't die, more people will die and there will be a worse price.
Probably, those people are like Lao Dong, and most of their family members' safety is also controlled by that force.
The old Dong thought about it and realized that there was no other good option except this risky plan.
Wen Yuqian only gave him a week.
In just one week, two children had to be rescued. If we can't make good use of this week, the two children will have no hope at all.
This plan is risky, but it is the only feasible plan.
"Just do it, I will try my best to eliminate the risk. As long as I show the courage to die together, I think they will also be afraid. Doing tricks on my children will not only make me suffer, but they will get nothing. Correspondence In comparison, Zimu Onibata and Master Liu are of greatest value to them."
After finalizing the plan, the next step is how to perform the play well and how to make the other party believe it realistically.
As Jiang Yue expected, communication was interrupted, and the forces behind Master Liu were indeed a little restless. Not long after Jiang Yue and the others finalized their plan, someone approached Yin Yuan Apartment.
Jiang Yue and the others were condescending, so naturally they discovered it immediately.
Yu Yuan has been placed in a dark place by Jiang Yue. Don't show up unless necessary.
"Old Dong, is it him?"
"Yes, that's this guy. He's very grand. Liu Shenguan is in front of him, like a pug. This guy must have a big background." Old Dong's tone sounded a little hollow.
Jiang Yue obviously saw this too.
"Old Dong, wait until they come up. If you feel so guilty, don't do this drama. If you are not ruthless enough to deal with ruthless people, you should take a break as soon as possible. Where was your ruthlessness in killing people and dismembering them?"
"I……"
"Remember, you are a murderous demon. You are just like them. Don't be a coward."
Lao Dong couldn't argue and nodded silently.
Indeed, killing people and quartering their bodies, what is it if it’s not a demon? What's the difference between these people? If there is a difference, is it the feeling of licking a calf?
There were five people in total.
The person at the head was exactly what Lao Dong said was the person who was in contact with Master Liu at the beginning, and was Master Liu's top line.
The remaining four are probably this person's followers. They all look like they are carved out of the same mold. At first glance, they are not good men and women.
After the five people entered Yinyuan Apartment, they stopped warily.
This Yinyuan Apartment should not have this atmosphere.
At this time, Master Liu's horsemen should be here to greet him, and even Master Liu himself should be here nodding and bowing to wait.
"Mr. Zhan, that charlatan always brags about himself, but he seems to be a fool. For such an important entrance and exit, it's just not enough to have a sentry, not even an undercover spy?"
Mr. Zhan is Master Liu's upline. He has a slicked-back hairstyle that is not common in this era. His hair is so shiny and smooth that a fly might land on it and risk spraining his feet.
"Xiao Zhao, Xiao Song, you two go up and have a look."
Mr. Zhan didn't see any fluctuations in his face and just sent two of his men up to explore the way.
It can be seen that Mr. Zhan is still very cautious.
The two followers in front of him were about to go up the stairs, one on the left and the other on the right. Suddenly, footsteps came from the stairs, and then someone poked his head out from the corner of the stairs.
The person who appeared here was Lao Dong.
"Mr. Zhan, Master Yang has reached a critical stage in refining the mother-and-son ghost flags. We are inseparable and cannot come down to greet them in person. Let me come down and lead the way."
Master Yang is the other identity of Master Liu, and he is also the identity used in this Yinyuan Apartment. Mr. Zhan naturally knows.
"Why are you?" Mr. Zhan stared at Old Dong coldly.
If I remember correctly, Master Liu also has several assistants. The guy in front of me is just a pawn of Master Liu, not a confidant. It’s not good to send anyone down, but this guy?
"Everyone is busy, and the corpse puppets are a bit unruly. Master Yang's assistants are very busy. I don't have any skills, so I can only do some odd jobs of picking up and delivering people."
Lao Dong still looked a little nervous and his tongue was a little curled up, but he finally spoke clearly.
However, in the eyes of Mr. Zhan and his entourage, his performance was a little suspicious, but they had no other thoughts and just thought that this guy was afraid and nervous.
However, Mr. Zhan is obviously a cautious and steady person.
He glanced at his subordinate.
The little Zhao Xiaosong from before jumped forward, pinched him from left to right, controlled Old Dong, and dragged him to Mr. Zhan. The two of them touched Lao Dong's body.
At first, Lao Dong thought he had been exposed, and was thinking about how to break free. When they touched him, he realized that they were afraid that he had hidden equipment on his body, which would be detrimental to Mr. Zhan.
In this way, Lao Dong was not so panicked.
He smiled humbly and allowed the other party to search him.
"Mr. Zhan."
After the body search, the two men indicated that there were no harmful weapons on Lao Dong.
Mr. Zhan nodded, stared at Old Dong, and then snorted coldly: "Lead the way."
At the same time, Xiao Zhao and Xiao Song were guarding the front and following behind Lao Dong, keeping a perfect distance.
It can be seen that although Lao Dong looks harmless to humans and animals, these people still do not relax their vigilance and are always on guard against fraud.
The mother-in-law and ghost banners are arranged on the highest floor.
It takes a while to walk up one level at a time.
Every time he climbed the steps, Mr. Zhan always felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in Yinyuan Apartment.
Yinyuan Apartment is too quiet.
There is nothing wrong with being quiet, after all, no one alive has lived in this place for a long time. But what about those ghosts? What about those corpse puppets?
Are they all gathered on the 30th floor?
Although Mr. Zhan doesn't think Master Liu dares to have any different intentions, he always has to consider extreme situations in everything.
What if the old magician betrays you?
If this goes to the 30th floor, who knows what unpredictable risks there may be?
If something goes wrong, wouldn't the five of them be like a sheep in a tiger's mouth?
When he reached the seventh floor, Mr. Zhan stopped.
"Wait a minute."
"Mr. Zhan, Master Yang is on the 30th floor. Do you want to take a rest?"
"I'll wait here. You go up. No matter how busy he is, just let him go for a while and come down to talk. Just say that my surname is Zhan and I'm waiting for him here."
Old Dong was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Zhan..."
"Go if you are told. What nonsense are you talking about?" Xiao Zhao stepped forward and grabbed Lao Dong by the collar.
The old Dong quickly apologized and said, "Okay, I'll go, I'll go. I'm just an errand runner. Who am I running for? Don't be offended, Mr. Zhan, I'll go right away."
The old man rolled around and walked upstairs.
While walking, I deliberately slipped on my feet and fell twice.
Suddenly, Old Dong stopped, turned around with a bitter look on his face and asked, "Mr. Zhan, things are almost over here. We agreed at the beginning that I would help Master Yang handle the affairs of Yinyuan Apartment, and you will pay me back." Children. Have you brought my children today?"
Mr. Zhan probably didn't expect that a dog like Old Dong would dare to turn around and ask questions?
"Don't worry about things that shouldn't be yours to worry about. As long as the work is done well, your child will be fine."
Old Dong's face suddenly turned ugly. Mr. Zhan's words were obviously perfunctory, and he probably had no interest in explaining anything to him.
When it comes to children, Lao Dong is extremely serious.
"Mr. Zhan, I have been working hard for you these days. Isn't it a bit unfair if I can't even see my children? How can I concentrate on my work?"
Mr. Zhan gently stroked his forehead. He obviously didn't expect that this little chess piece would have the courage to chatter endlessly?
Who do you think you are? Don't you have any idea?
Even Master Liu doesn’t dare to breathe in front of someone like me, he has to be careful. You are a dog controlled by Master Liu, and you actually negotiate terms and be fair?
Do you really not know how to write the word "death"?
If I don’t give you children, why don’t you work anymore?
When Xiao Zhao saw Mr. Zhan's action, he knew that Mr. Zhan was angry.
As soon as he raised his hand, the gun was already pressed against Lao Dong's forehead.
Old Dong was spraying spittle all over his face: "Do you know who you are talking to? Do you know what the rules are? The old bastard is not qualified to negotiate conditions in front of Mr. Zhan, who do you think you are?"
Old Dong's face turned red from suppressing his emotions and his whole body was trembling.
I don't know if I'm angry or scared.
Mr. Zhan flicked his sleeve, and it seemed that in his eyes the old Dong was not as good as the dust on his sleeve.
"Let him go up."
Xiao Zhao pushed Old Dong away and put away the gun.
"Get out of here and have him come down to see Mr. Zhan immediately."
Mr. Zhan suddenly said coldly: "I'll give you five minutes. If he doesn't appear in front of me within five minutes, you will never see the child again in your life."
It takes five minutes to go from the seventh floor to the thirtieth floor, and then back down from the thirtieth floor.
This is almost impossible for normal people to accomplish.
Old Dong got up in a hurry and ran upstairs like a rabbit.
Of course, he was just pretending all this.
His test just now was just to see if he could get the other party to return the child under normal circumstances.
If it is possible, then of course there is no need to take that risky strategy.
Now, he was completely desperate.
It was impossible for these people to return the child to him. In the eyes of these people, his old boss is just a rag, and it is disposable.
You can throw it away at any time after use.
He knew very well that if he showed any dissatisfaction just now, the other party would probably blow his head off.
These people have no reason at all.
When he reached the eighth floor, Lao Dong made sure to avoid the gunfire.
Stop.
Mr. Zhan and the others apparently heard Old Dong stop, but before they could speak, Old Dong took the initiative to speak.
"Mr. Zhan, I can see it. No matter how hard I work and how well I do my job, you can't return the child to me. You have no sincerity at all."
Xiao Zhao took out his gun immediately, but was stopped by Mr. Zhan.
"You are also smart people. I believe you have figured it out. Why didn't Master Yang come down to greet him personally, and why didn't any of his confidants come down?"
"Mr. Zhan, you are so cautious and cunning, you should have guessed, right?"
"So, I ask again, where is my child?"
Mr. Zhan took a deep breath: "So it seems that I, Zhan, have underestimated you. It looks like a famous quote, but in fact, you are pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?"
"Mr. Zhan, please don't praise me. I can't afford it, and I won't accept this. You are right to underestimate me. I am a common man, and I am being plotted and manipulated by you. You can scold me and pinch me if you want." Just crush it to death, it’s not much different from an ant.”
"But... even an ant will resist when it's time to resist."
"So? Is this your resistance?" Mr. Zhan sneered.
"Mr. Zhan, don't play scheming with me. You have four men, five of you. I can't beat you, and I'm not good at playing scheming. I only have one hand of cards now, and you can't play this hand. , but I can fight at any time."
"Oh? It seems that you think you have obtained the heavenly card?"
"For someone like me, what kind of talent can I expect? I have a bomb in my hand. As soon as I hit it, everyone will break up. If the child doesn't come back, I will die. You all know that a bad life can be exchanged for death." One Master Yang, plus the mother-in-law and ghost banner, it’s worth it for me to exchange for this room full of corpse puppets.”
Those who come barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes.
Now, Lao Dong puts himself in the barefoot position.
A trace of surprise flashed in Mr. Zhan's eyes: "So, that idiot really fell into your hands?"
This really surprised him.
Liu Shengun had raised so many ghost slaves, had so many close assistants, and was equipped with such strong firepower. How could he be counterattacked by a small character like Old Dong? And controlled by him?
