Chapter 19 - 19 19 Compromise
19: Chapter 19 Compromise 19: Chapter 19 Compromise “What’s so funny?” the kidnapper asked.
“Don’t you know your current status is that of a kidnapper?
A criminal kidnapper, at that.
What right do you have to talk to me about the law?” Lin Yifan asked with a cold laugh.
The kidnapper was at a loss for words.
What Lin Yifan said seemed to make sense, but that didn’t mean Lin Yifan could disregard the law.
So he responded, “Although I have broken the law, if you dare to do this, it is also illegal!”
“I could tell the judge that you tried to kill me first, and I was forced into self-defense.
Then I accidentally cut yours off, purely by accident.”
“Ridiculous.
Don’t I have brothers here to testify on my behalf?”
The stubborn kidnapper sneered.
Did Lin Yifan really take him for a fool, and the judge, too?
“Do you think a judge would believe a kidnapper or a good person?
I must remind you, there are no surveillance cameras in this dark alley, meaning, there is no way for you to prove whatever I do here.
But the good deeds you’ve done have already been recorded by the surveillance camera in the kitchen, and you can’t escape the charge of kidnapping.”
He had a Zhang Liangji, and they had a wall ladder; he was fearless.
“You…”
The stubborn kidnapper was speechless.
They had evaded many cameras, but they hadn’t considered that there would be one in the kitchen.
Such an oversight.
Now, if Lin Yifan really castrated him, the judge might actually be biased towards Lin Yifan’s statement.
“What to do?
Should I rat out the mastermind?”
Seeing the kidnapper’s panic and furrowed brow, Lin Yifan’s lips curved upwards, finally breaking through the kidnapper’s psychological defenses.
Seizing the moment, Lin Yifan pressed, “I’ll give you one last chance.
Are you going to talk or not?”
The stubborn kidnapper gritted his teeth, struggling internally.
Finally, he clenched his fist, ready to face death, and said, “I won’t tell!”
Giving him courage was a potential reason: maybe Lin Yifan was just bluffing?
Lin Yifan had never expected the steadfast stubborn kidnapper would remain so defiant at the end.
So, he had to get real.
So he threatened forcefully.
Feeling the imminent danger, the stubborn kidnapper broke out in a cold sweat and quickly relented, “Big brother, please!
I’ll talk!
I’ll talk!”
He hadn’t expected Lin Yifan to actually dare to follow through.
If he were turned into a eunuch, he wouldn’t be able to consummate anything anymore, which would be a major tragedy–living would have no meaning; so he had to compromise.
“I really thought you would have the resolve to part with what proves your manhood.” Lin Yifan continued to sneer before asking, “Now tell me, who sent you?”
“Azheng, don’t say it.”
A crucial moment, another kidnapper spoke out to stop him.
Because if the mastermind found out, Azheng could very likely be killed.
They weren’t dealing with an insignificant person as their mastermind, so it was better not to betray him.
“Not talking?
Not talking, and I become a eunuch—easy for you to say, standing there without a care in the world.”
The kidnapper Azheng ignored his brother’s advice.
A man has two things he cannot lose: one is courage, and the other is—
Without courage, a person can become very effeminate, which is close to being a eunuch, but you can still consummate a marriage.
Without the other, you directly become a eunuch, incapable of even physical activity; hence, even if you lose courage, you can’t lose the other.
“What’s more important, your life or that?”
This good brother tried again, hoping Azheng would come to his senses.
After hearing this, kidnapper Azheng fell into deep thought.
Their mastermind was indeed a ruthless murderer; if he revealed the mastermind’s identity, he would surely be hunted down.
But then again, why not testify against someone else?
After all, Lin Yifan didn’t know who the real mastermind was.
Therefore, he answered his brother’s question, “Of course, that’s more important!”
Then he continued confessing to Lin Yifan, “The mastermind behind the kidnapping of Antian Group’s general manager is the chairman of Leibao Group—Lei Longtian.”
The kidnapper who tried to stop Azheng from confessing their mastermind breathed a sigh of relief on hearing Azheng’s confession.
Thank goodness his brother was smart.
Otherwise, they would have been doomed.
“Lei Longtian?”
Hearing this name, Lin Yifan turned and asked An Qi, “Do you have any feud with Lei Longtian, the chairman of Leibao Group?”
An Qi turned back, puzzled, and replied, “Lei Longtian is in the car business, while I’m in the phone business.
There’s no business conflict, so it’s unlikely there’s a feud.
However, Lei Longtian has always wanted to buy out Antian Group, but I’ve consistently rejected him.
I don’t know if this is why he captured me.”
“Now, you need to beware of this person,” Lin Yifan warned.
If Lei Longtian had made a move once, he would surely do it again, so it was essential to take precautions.
“Yeah, got it,” An Qi replied.
The kidnapped Azheng’s heart, which had been in suspense, could finally let go.
He hadn’t expected that by improvising, the other party would actually believe him.
Nothing could be more exciting than this.
A few minutes later, the police arrived.
The person leading the team was still Officer Lin.
Entering the dim alleyway and shining a flashlight, seeing that the victim was again An Qi and the rescuer was again Lin Yifan, Lin Shanshan was speechless.
Why did it always involve these two people?
Despite disliking Lin Yifan, acting with a heart of serving the people, she still patiently came over to inquire about the situation.
Upon learning that there had been another kidnapping of An Qi, her face Solidified, and her brows furrowed.
If it was one kidnapping, it could be explained; but frequent kidnappings indicated a problem; these two incidents were definitely orchestrated by someone.
To ensure the safety of citizens, they needed to set up a special case team.
All matters had to be discussed back at the police station, so Lin Shanshan ordered her subordinates to take the gang of kidnappers back.
As the kidnapped victim and the rescuer, An Qi and Lin Yifan had to follow the police back for questioning because they were important witnesses.
