âNo, no!â screamed Luo Fei as her face paled with fear.
âYou despicable woman! I may as well feed you to the wild animals since you refuse to tell me the truth anyway.â
Luo Fei turned to Zheng Lunlun and realized that he wasnât bluffing.
She never couldâve guessed that a man who looked like a pretty little girl would have a heart that cold and vile.
âIâll talk, Iâll talk,â said Luo Fei who finally admitted defeat, âLet me go. Iâll tell you everything.â
âTake your time and be specific. If you lie or even tell a fib, I will throw you overboard!â
âI didnât place the needles there, it was Zhao Mingjie,â said Luo Fei who was still hiding part of the truth, âit had nothing to do with me.â
âDonât change the subject! Tell me about the kids!â
âI donât have that level of influence, and I didnât kidnap the kids, but I am aware of it.â
âGo on. And let me remind you, do not lie! If I caught you lying, you will not have a second chance and will be thrown out!â
Luo Feiâs eyes sparkled as she weighed her options and wondered what she could say and what she must keep to herself.
âTell me now! Or are you coming up with a story to lie to me?â growled Zheng Lunlun.
âNo, no! I was just trying to figure out where to begin.â
âDoesnât matter where you begin, just start talking. Who kidnapped the kids?â
âThat, I truly have no idea. I only know that the criminal is a citizen of the M Nation. He is tall and has lots of subordinates who refer to him as âcaptainâ.â
âCaptain?â asked Zheng Lunlun, âHow did you meet him?â
âIâve always wanted to get Ding Mi to leave because I didnât want her to marry into the Nan Family.
Unfortunately, I kept failing. The captain contacted me and asked me to provide him with information about the Nan Family. In exchange, he would help me get rid of Ding Mi.â
Zheng Lunlun gestured her to continue.
Luo Fei tried to calm herself before she continued her statement.
âHe wanted me to provide him with all sorts of information about the Nan Family but I knew very little about them.â âFortunately, Ding Mi and I work in the same production set so it was easy to learn everything about her. That is how I found out about the kids. I told the captain about them because it seemed that the Nan Family are very protective of the kids and kidnapping them would force the Nan Family to cooperate. After all, that b**** Ding Mi was able to use the kids to get close to the Nan Family.
She wouldnât be worthy of their attention otherwise.â
Slap!
Luo Fei was slapped by Zheng Lunlun who ordered, âJust speak your truth. Do not insult Ding Mi!â
âAfter I told the captain about Ding Mi, the kids, and their connection with the Nan Family, I helped him concoct a kidnapping plan. He was only targeting the kids, and we never thought that Nan Chen would chase after them,â said Luo Fei.
âYou truly have no idea who the captain is? Or why he is after the Nan Family? Does he hold a grudge against the family? Or is he after the money?â
âI honestly have no idea,â said Luo Fei as she shook her head, âI was never interested in finding out because I only wanted him to get rid of Ding Mi and those two bas⦠err⦠kids so that she would not be a threat. That is why I only bothered to carry out the missions he sent me because nothing else, not his identity nor his intention, mattered to me.â
âYou vile woman! How could you do that to two young children?â
âBecause they are Ding Miâs children!â shouted Luo Fei who was getting upset again, âTheir only fault was that they are Ding Miâs kids!â
âThe captain ever mentioned why he wanted to kidnap the kids and bring them to the M Nation?â asked Zheng Lunlun.
âNo, he only mentioned that the Nan Family is too powerful in the country so itâd be difficult to fight them. He wanted to bring the kids and Ding Mi to a foreign country so that the Nan Familyâs influence could not reach them.â
Zheng Lunlun deliberated. He knew that Luo Feiâs words could not be fully trusted but it shouldnât be too far from the truth either since the situation they were in matched Luo Feiâs description.
âHow do you contact that captain?â
âI donât,â said Luo Fei, âHe was the one who reached out to me, and he used a different phone number each time he did so I have no idea how to contact him.â
âAre you sure? If youâre lying, I will throw you out of this plane!â
âNo, Iâm not lying,â said Luo Fei, âThis incident was my fault, and I will talk to Mr. Nan Chen about it in person when we find him.â
âYoung Master Lun,â said Quan all of a sudden, âAn airplane is tailing us!â
âWhatâs happening?â asked Zheng Lunlun who was also a little nervous, âWhy are they following us?â
âThis country has always been at war,â explained Quan, âThey probably think that weâre their enemy.â
âThen give them a holler and explain that weâre neutral and that weâre only here as a rescue team.â
âThey didnât respond and kept tailing us,â said Quan, âMaybe itâs the language barrier?â
âThen let them tail us. Weâre fine as long as they donât fire.â
Zheng Lunlun had just finished speaking when they heard a strange noise.
âOh shit! Theyâre firing at us!â shouted Quan.
âWhat the f*ck?â cussed Zheng Lunlun, âIsnât it a little extreme to start firing all of a sudden?â
âDo we retaliate?â
âRetaliate my ass! This is not a military helicopter, and we donât have any bullets to fight back! Just run!â
A few minutes later, Quan reported to Zheng Lunlun and said, âThe plane was hit. Young Master Lun, please prepare the parachutes.â
âHuh? Why are we jumping?â
âThe fuel tank had been hit,â explained Quan, âThereâs a good chance the plane is about to explode so we must jump now!â
Luo Fei was so scared that she was crying. This is it. This is how I die.
She was fine in Flower City, but that Zheng Lunlun forced her to travel to that godforsaken jungle, and she was going to die there!
âLetâs go,â said Quan as he opened the helicopter doors, âWe have less chance of surviving if the plane explodes.â
âAlright then, weâll have to jump. Get the parachutes!â
On the ground, Nan Chen and the others were staring at the sky and watching the planes battling.
âIt seemed that one of the planes is attacking the other,â said Qiao Zhan, âIt doesnât look like the other party is retaliating.â
âCould it be that the plane that was shot down is our rescue team?â asked Nan Chen.
âItâs possible,â said Qiao Zhan as he turned to Nan Chen, âWhat should we do?â
âThe parties on the plane will likely parachute down before it catches on fire,â said Nan Chen, âget ready to rescue them.â
âBut what if the ones on the helicopter are our enemies?â
âWeâd still have to rescue them before we can determine that,â said Nan Chen harshly, âGet everyone prepared now and have the team scan the surroundings for survivors!â
âYes, sir!â said Qiao Zhan before he left.
âIf the helicopter that was shot down was our rescue plane,â muttered Ning Ran, âthen our chance of getting back would be slimmer.â
âThis place isnât so bad,â said Nan Chen who had suddenly turned to Ning Ran, âIs it?â
Ning Ran didnât know how to reply. Is this place supposed to be good? Does he like this place?
âYes, the place is pretty cool,â said Ning Ran who was just being polite.
âTake care of the kids,â said Nan Chen, âIâll go help the rescue team.â âIf that was our rescue team, then they are definitely not alone. Someone else would come along and we should be able to leave soon.â
That was rare. The Poker Face was talking to her in complete sentences!
Ning Ran was so shocked that it was like she had just witnessed the Sun rising from the West.
