Tong Lin was stunned. He probably didn’t expect me to question him. “Mr. Tong Lin, we should stop talking in riddles. Why don’t you just tell me what do you want from me? Why did you bring me here? Perhaps we can work together. Isn’t it tired to be on guard against each other all the time? I’ll let you think about it.” I stood up and prepared to leave.
“Slow down, Nanxing, sit back down.” Tong Lin stopped me. I turned back and looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
“Nanxing, I need you to find the wealth and the evidence of debt people had owed the Tong Family, the things your mother has given to you.” Tong Lin looked at me seriously. I could read the meaning in his eyes, Give me the things or die!
I smiled, “I don’t even know they have left such a thing for me. Cousin, you already knew more than I do. I don’t even know what you’re talking about, so how do you expect me to hand them over?
“Plus, you should be more familiar with this place than I do. If you can’t find it, how do you expect a person with amnesia to find it. Plus, Cousin Tong Lin, is that how you ask for a favor from others? You still haven’t told me what benefit I’d get if I did help you.”
Tong Lin’s face turned ugly.
I smiled, “I’m your prisoner so I have no right to any negotiation?” I walked to the window and looked out. “Is this place far from M City? If our little uncle and Jing Tian decide to come save me, how long they’ll take to get here?” I asked casually.
Tong Lin sneered. “You can stop dreaming about that. They won’t have time to save themselves, much less save you!”
“Oh? What do you mean?” I turned to him with a smile.
Tong Lin looked at me with a slightly cold gaze. However, there was a smile on his lips. “Our little uncle, his body is weak because he has overworked himself for years. I have prepared a special bullet for him. They are dipped in poison. I don’t think he’s waking up any time soon. Even if he did, he would be a cripple.”
My eyes shook. “How could you even do something like that? He’s your uncle! You two are the only men of the Tong Family and you plan to fight each other? Tong Lin, are you crazy?”
Tong Lin sneered, “Now that I have returned, the Tong Family’s lineage is secured. Tong Le is not even the eldest son so he has no right to inherit the family business. Allowing him the freedom to look over the family for so many years is already a sign of my kindness to him.”
I chided, “Do you think this is some ancient Chinese drama with emperors fighting for the throne? You are crazy.”
Tong Lin ignored me. “As for Jing Tian, it’s his fault to go against the Tong Family. The other 7 brothers will deal with him. The 7 brothers have never been in a good terms and they will kill each other for the sake of benefit. Therefore, Jing Qi will not have time for you. But don’t you worry, Nanxing, you are considered half of the Tong Family, if you obey my orders, I will not mistreat you!”
I looked at him like he was a big joke. “Cousin Tong Lin, how about we make a bet?” I said calmly.
Tong Lin said patiently, “What bet?”
“If my little uncle and Jing Tian can’t save me in the next 3 days, I’ll lead you to the treasure. What do you say?” I smiled at Tong Lin.
Tong Lin’s expression changed. “What did you do in the server room?”
I smiled, “Actually I need to thank your female friend for that. That Yan Xin sure is a classic green tea bitch. It was she who led me to the server room but it was you who ordered her to do so, right? To have me look at those violent videos of myself and to expose me to the pictures of Jing Tian and other women?”
“What did you do in the server room?” Tong Lin said angrily and glared at me.
I looked at me and smiled. “Cousin, why worry? We’re family, don’t you want to meet your other family members? I just set up a tiny location ping, so that they can find us more easily.”
Tong Lin calmed down and said coolly, “You’re bluffing.”
I opened my arms. “Alright, we’ll wait for 3 days then, actually 2 days should be sufficient!”
Tong Lin smiled a sinister smile. “Does that mean that you know exactly where the treasures are? And you remember the password?”
I was stunned. “What password?”
He was stunned as well. Tong Lin looked at me and hesitated.
I stopped talking. This was a battle of the brains, the more you said, the more likely you’d make a mistake.
Ting Lin sneered and left. He probably had gone to the server room to undo my work.
I chuckled to myself. I didn’t even do anything.
