"Alright, I'll prepare the contract. Where shall we conduct the transaction?"
Lu Yang suppressed the rage in his heart and asked Tang Zixuan coldly.
"Eleven PM tonight, at the Red Star Bar. It's open until four in the morning!"
Tang Zixuan sneered. The bar was crowded and full of eyes, making it the perfect place for the transaction. Even if Lu Yang wanted to make a move, he'd have to contend with the bar's owner, Li Xiaohong, who had once kept him as a kept man before discarding him due to his inadequacy.
However, Tang Zixuan was confident Li Xiaohong would help him this time, even if it meant paying her tens of millions as a reward.
Little did Tang Zixuan know, Li Xiaohong was now under Lu Yang's command.
"Fine, eleven PM, Red Star Bar. I'll be waiting for you!"
Lu Yang agreed directly.
After hanging up, Lu Yang's eyes remained icy, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop several degrees.
"Boss, I'll go with you. I guarantee I'll take down this dog!"
An Ye Ming Wang had never seen Lu Yang this enraged and quickly said.
"No need. I can handle this alone!"
Lu Yang finished speaking, got into his car, and drove towards the Red Star Bar.
On the way, he had already called Li Xiaohong and explained the situation. Li Xiaohong immediately promised that as soon as Tang Zixuan arrived, she would apprehend him and hand him over to Lu Yang for disposition.
"Don't arrest him yet. Get Tang Shimin's whereabouts from him. This dog won't have Tang Shimin by his side!"
Lu Yang said directly into the phone.
"Understood, Mr. Lu. Rest assured, I'll get it out of him!"
Li Xiaohong agreed immediately.
At this moment, Tang Zixuan was already figuring out how to get the contract from Lu Yang without being captured. Tang Zixuan had directly contacted several thugs, paid them some money, and had them transfer Tang Shimin to a secret location to await his orders.
Upon seeing the money, the thugs' eyes lit up, and they readily agreed.
After completing these arrangements, Tang Zixuan walked to the Red Star Bar alone.
At this hour of the night, the Red Star Bar was already packed with people, with countless young men and women dancing and singing their hearts out.
Tang Zixuan quickly found Li Xiaohong.
"Sister Hong, I have a big deal this time, and I'd like to do it with you. I wonder if you'd give me this favor?"
Tang Zixuan said to Li Xiaohong with a smile, even reaching out to pat her backside.
"Little Tang, what's this big deal? Tell Sister Hong about it!"
Li Xiaohong remained impassive and asked Tang Zixuan.
"I've kidnapped our Tang family's Tang Shimin and am using her to threaten that good-for-nothing son-in-law. That useless son-in-law is now the vice president of Black Dragon Capital and has agreed to exchange three hundred acres of land for her. If Sister Hong helps me settle this, I'll personally give you fifty million as a thank you!"
Tang Zixuan immediately looked at Li Xiaohong and said.
"Fifty million?"
"Hahaha, Little Tang, you're truly generous. Alright, Sister will help you with this. But after it's done, you'll have to serve Sister for a night!"
Li Xiaohong looked at Tang Zixuan and said intentionally.
"No problem. As long as Sister Hong handles this properly, let alone one night, I'm willing for a whole week!"
Tang Zixuan said immediately, though he felt like he was going to vomit. He had witnessed Li Xiaohong's insatiable demands, and his own frail body could not withstand her exploitation.
However, at this critical juncture, Tang Zixuan could only agree and plan to escape later once he had the land.
"Oh, and Little Tang, didn't you kidnap Tang Shimin? Why didn't you bring her?"
"Don't kidnappings usually involve handing over the goods after the money is paid?"
Li Xiaohong continued to ask Tang Zixuan.
"Sister Hong, you don't understand. That Lu Yang's martial arts are too formidable; I'm no match for him. If I brought Tang Shimin, this dog would just snatch her away directly. So, I've hidden Tang Shimin in a secret place. If I don't return by twelve o'clock, those thugs I hired will ravish Tang Shimin. Hahaha, Sister Hong, what do you think of my plan?"
Tang Zixuan laughed triumphantly.
"Hahaha, Little Tang, your mind is becoming more agile. You've thought of everything so thoroughly!"
"However, Sister Hong would still like to know where you've hidden Tang Shimin. Is that place safe?"
Li Xiaohong continued to ask Tang Zixuan.
"Hahaha, Sister Hong, don't worry. It's very safe. It's in a nearby village, about a dozen kilometers from here. There aren't even any streetlights at night, so no one can find it!"
Tang Zixuan continued.
"Alright, don't blame Sister Hong for being nosy. Tang Shimin is your sister after all. Don't push things too far!"
Li Xiaohong sighed and continued.
"Sister? Did she ever treat me as a brother?"
"I'd rather not have such a foolish sister!"
Hearing this, Tang Zixuan became instantly angry and shouted coldly.
"Since I can't persuade you, I won't waste any more words. Men, tie him up immediately!"
Li Xiaohong's eyes suddenly went cold as she signaled to the two burly men beside her.
"Sister Hong, what are you doing? Why are you tying me up? You should be tying up that scoundrel Lu Yang!"
Tang Zixuan, confused, immediately shouted at Li Xiaohong.
"Slap!"
Li Xiaohong slapped Tang Zixuan across the face and then shouted coldly, "Lu Yang is someone you can call by name?"
"When I see him, I respectfully call him Mr. Lu. You, you damn waste, dare to call Mr. Lu by his name?"
Li Xiaohong looked at Tang Zixuan with utter coldness.
"Li Xiaohong, you slut, when did you start colluding with Lu Yang? Did he satisfy you well?"
"You shameless old woman, you dare to hit me? Just you wait until I get out; I'll smash your bar!"
Tang Zixuan, dazed by the slap, came to his senses and immediately cursed at Li Xiaohong.
"Slap!"
Li Xiaohong slapped Tang Zixuan across the face again.
"What the hell do you think you are, talking to me like that? Do you believe I'll throw you into the pond to grow lotus roots?"
Li Xiaohong shouted at Tang Zixuan again.
"If you have the guts, kill me. Otherwise, I won't let you off!"
Tang Zixuan stared at Li Xiaohong, his eyes filled with fury.
"Won't let me off? Do you have that ability?"
"When Mr. Lu arrives, he'll deal with you personally!"
Li Xiaohong sneered and ordered for Tang Zixuan to be taken to a room.
Soon, Lu Yang walked into the room.
"Mr. Lu, this kid just said he hid Tang Shimin in a village not far from here, about a dozen kilometers away. There are no streetlights at night, so it'll be hard to find!"
"I asked him for the village's name, but he wouldn't say anything. He even said..."
Li Xiaohong looked at Lu Yang's slowly chilling face and dared not continue.
"What else did he say?"
Lu Yang asked word by word.
"He said... if those thugs didn't receive his call by twelve, they would... ravish Miss Tang!"
Li Xiaohong said hesitantly.
