Chapter 1154: Chapter 1154
“Since you know you’re scared, then tell me where Xiao Man is?” Zhang Yang asked coldly.
Li Yan, however, said to Zhang Yang, “I think you’d better calm down. You should know very well that, for such a long time, we have treated Xiao Man quite well.”
“She eats well, lives well, and she gets five minutes a day to call you.”
“You should also know that we mean no harm to you, otherwise, Xiao Man would have been dealt with long ago.”
“I came this time because I wanted to have a good talk with you, to discuss the details of our cooperation. You might as well listen; it will be beneficial for you.”
Zhang Yang had no patience for this and asked Li Yan once more, “All you need to do is tell me where Xiao Man is, that’s enough. I don’t want to hear any more of your nonsense.”
“Otherwise, I’ll make you swallow this pill right now.”
This time, Li Yan was resolute.
“If that’s what you’re saying, then I can only accept my fate.”
With that, she actually opened her mouth.
Zhang Yang frowned; he didn’t care about this woman’s life or death.
He only hoped Xiao Man could return safely.
“Fine, I’ll give you a chance. Speak up, what do you really want to do?”
“This is because, for so long, you’ve indeed not harmed Xiao Man.”
“There’s only one chance. I hope your answer will satisfy me. Otherwise, even the greatest of immortals won’t be able to save you.”
Hearing Zhang Yang say this, Li Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
She still seemed confident in persuading Zhang Yang.
“We’ve received information that Jin Tuantuan has gotten some clues, and they’re very useful clues.”
“It’s only a matter of time before we get that item. We’re not asking you to help us steal it, just to tell us the clues Jin Tuantuan has.”
“As for who can find the item first, it all depends on one’s skill.”
“As long as you can do this, we’ll return Xiao Man to you.”
This request didn’t sound too excessive, but Zhang Yang knew it would surely cause significant loss to Jin Tuantuan.
Moreover, these people might not be telling the truth.
Zhang Yang couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Just what kind of item are you looking for?”
“What? Haven’t you asked Jin Tuantuan?” Li Yan looked at Zhang Yang, surprised. Was this man not curious at all?
After all these ups and downs, it all started because of that item.
Yet this man didn’t even know what he was looking for.
“I’ve never asked about it, but you can go ahead and tell me.” Zhang Yang said solemnly.
In fact, Zhang Yang wasn’t keen on getting involved in Jin Tuantuan’s matters. It’s Jin Tuantuan’s business, and if they wanted him to know, they would tell him, no need to ask.
Li Yan shook her head, “I don’t know exactly what it is, but many prominent individuals are looking for it.”
“But I heard it could grant long life, even immunity to diseases.”
Zhang Yang rolled his eyes at this, “Are you kidding me? In this day and age, is someone still pursuing immortality?”
Li Yan chuckled and said, “I don’t know about immortality, but what I do know is that these people, whether it’s money or status, have already acquired it. So tell me, apart from seeking the extension of life, what else could they be so desperately after?”
Zhang Yang furrowed his brows; her words made some sense.
But he still didn’t understand why Jin Tuantuan was so persistent in seeking this item. And why did Jin Tuantuan have clues?
“Zhang Yang, will you cooperate or not? Give us a straightforward answer; Xiao Man is eagerly waiting for you.”
“Your girlfriend is really admirable; she thinks of you every day. Even we feel sorry watching.”
“Are you really willing to let your girlfriend live in loneliness? Or have you already stopped loving her, especially since you now have so many beauties around you?”
Li Yan deliberately used these words to provoke Zhang Yang, using reverse psychology to force him to agree.
“I want to see Xiao Man first.” Zhang Yang said.
“That’s impossible, and why do you want to see Xiao Man? Just to make sure she’s doing well. But we give you five minutes of talk and video time each day as our best assurance.” Li Yan said very confidently.
Her attitude was very resolute; she wouldn’t let Zhang Yang see Xiao Man until he agreed.
“Zhang Yang, are you going to cooperate or not?”
“As long as you agree, not only can you take Xiao Man away, we’ll also give you a huge amount of money, an unimaginable amount.”
Zhang Yang couldn’t help but sneer at these all too familiar words; these people really lacked any novelty.
Li Yan also noticed Zhang Yang’s thoughts, so she quickly added, “Even though your women are all wealthy, as a man, especially a strong one like you, you shouldn’t be reliant on them. Only when the money is in your own hands are you truly powerful.”
“And you should know, Qingyi Sect was destroyed at your hands. If you agree, this grudge will be written off.”
“If you continue to refuse, then you’re just pushing your luck. Not only will we take revenge on you, but not a single person around you will escape.”
Zhang Yang squinted his eyes slightly; these people really couldn’t change their nature.
“Threatening me, huh?” Zhang Yang sneered.
“It’s not really a threat, just stating facts, hoping you, Zhang Yang, can think it over carefully.”
“If you agree today, your girlfriend Xiao Man will shine on the Starlight Award stage, as our gift to you.”
“If you refuse, then your Xiao Man will be dismembered, her blood spilling across the stage.”
Before the words were finished, Zhang Yang suddenly grabbed Li Yan’s throat.
“Try saying that again.”
Li Yan’s face turned red, looking like she was about to be strangled to death by Zhang Yang.
Li Yan couldn’t say a word now, feeling like she was about to suffocate.
Zhao Xiaotang quickly grabbed Zhang Yang’s arm, persuading him, “Zhang Yang, don’t act impulsively. Let’s think of a way to make her reveal Xiao Man’s whereabouts first.”
Mentioning Xiao Man made Zhang Yang calm down a bit, and he released the woman.
Li Yan coughed violently, feeling like she had barely survived, but instead laughed more arrogantly.
“Zhang Yang, your weakness is too obvious, so what are you really resisting?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to cooperate honestly with us? A happy ending is the wise choice.”
This time, Zhang Yang didn’t waste any more words. He seized the woman’s mouth and forced the pill into it. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel(ꜰ)ire.net
The woman looked terrified, completely unprepared for Zhang Yang’s sudden move, “No… don’t…”
