Chapter 313: Chapter 314: Master?

”Heh heh, now you know who I am? Oh, you probably still don’t know, but it doesn’t matter, Qin Tian, you don’t need to know who we are.”

The voice on the other end of the phone was still that of the man, ”Qin Tian, rest assured, we won’t hurt your woman as long as you do exactly as I say.”

By this time, Qin Tian had already turned his car around and was driving towards Lu Qing’s residence in the city.

”What do you want me to do, tell me!” Qin Tian said sternly.

He remembered the last time Lu Qing was taken hostage and felt even more guilty. It was evident that this group was targeting him, but somehow they had found Lu Qing again.

”It’s simple. I heard that your Qin Real Estate Company has joined the Zhonghai Square project. Go to the municipal government now and announce your withdrawal from the bidding for this project. As soon as you withdraw, we’ll release your woman. Heh heh, not too much to ask, right?”

Hearing the man’s voice, Qin Tian frowned.

Clearly, these people were hired by Qin Real Estate’s business rivals, specifically targeting the Zhonghai Square project in order to force Qin Tian into compliance using Lu Qing and to push Qin Real Estate out of the Zhonghai Square project!

The fat profit that was within his grasp was not something Qin Tian was ready to spit out!

Qin Tian gritted his teeth and said, ”Fine, as long as you don’t hurt her, everything is negotiable. I’ll do as you say. Give me two hours, I’ll get things done, and notify you.”

”Hehe, that’s more like it. But Qin Tian, I’m warning you, don’t try any tricks, otherwise, it’ll cost a life, you hear!”

”I won’t, wait for my message.”

On the surface, Qin Tian had agreed to the demands of those people.

However, on the other hand, as soon as he hung up the phone, Qin Tian immediately called Xiao Zhuang, ”Third, a friend of mine has been kidnapped. You and Second, come to the city.”

”Damn, someone dared to kidnap one of our own? Who’s got the guts? Alright, boss, just wait, Second and I will be there right away!”

Xiao Zhuang and Lin Yu set off from Wolong Mountain instantly and arrived at the rendezvous point with Qin Tian in less than an hour.

As a professional computer expert, Xiao Zhuang had brought a full set of surveillance equipment, and he asked Qin Tian, ”Boss, your friend is alright, isn’t she?”

Qin Tian replied, ”I’m not sure. I’ll talk to them again; get ready to track the location.”

After speaking, Qin Tian called the gang of bandits.

”What, you said two hours, and you finished the job in one?” the leader of the bandits said.

”I’ve finished it. Release her!” Qin Tian said.

”How do I know you’ve actually done it? The government will send out a notice; I’ll release her once the notice is out,” the bandit chuckled maliciously.

Meanwhile, Xiao Zhuang had already pinpointed the bandits’ exact location, gave Qin Tian a sign, and then he and Lin Yu drove at high speed towards the designated location.

”You have to keep your word!” Qin Tian feigned anger.

”I said I’d release her once it’s settled. I’m sending someone to verify the news now; you just wait!”

After finishing, the bandit immediately hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Tian immediately contacted Xiao Zhuang and the others.

It turned out that the kidnappers had locked Lu Qing in an abandoned food processing plant in Southern City, just over ten miles away!

Upon getting the information, Qin Tian immediately rushed towards the abandoned food processing plant.

About fifteen minutes later, as Qin Tian was nearing the plant, he received a phone call from Lin Yu, ”Boss, what’s going on? The abandoned food processing plant is surrounded by military personnel?”

”What?”

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian was momentarily stunned.

Dammit, the military again? They just won’t leave me alone!

Qin Tian hurriedly accelerated, and a few minutes later rendezvoused with Xiao Zhuang and others at the fork in the road outside the abandoned food factory.

At that time, there were soldiers stationed at the junction, saying that there was an investigation inside and urging Qin Tian and the others not to get close.

The three of them got out of the car, looked at each other, and were at a loss for words.

Lin Yu frowned and said, ”This doesn’t make sense. A mere kidnapping case has startled the military?”

After taking a look around, Xiao Zhuang also said, ”Yeah, looking at this setup, the military has deployed at least three platoons. Are they here to wipe out bandits?”

At this moment, Qin Tian, worried about Lu Qing’s safety, said, ”You two wait here for me, and adapt to the situation accordingly. I will sneak in first to see what’s happening.”

After speaking, Qin Tian circled around in another direction. He went behind the large building of the abandoned food factory and climbed over the wall to reach the rear of the building, slowly moving forward.

At this point, the hijackers inside the food factory building were being led out one by one by the soldiers. Qin Tian watched from his hiding place but did not see Lu Qing’s figure, which made him increasingly anxious.

”Who’s there?”

Suddenly, a brick Qin Tian stepped on rolled down and alerted the nearby soldiers. Two of them approached in his direction.

”Freeze!”

One soldier raised his weapon and pointed it at Qin Tian, who had been exposed, and shouted angrily.

”Raise your hands and come out!” another soldier ordered.

Qin Tian, concerned for Lu Qing’s safety and not wanting to start a fight, temporarily raised his hands and walked out from behind the side of the building.

”Hey, you two, put your guns down, he’s one of us!”

When the two soldiers brought Qin Tian back to the front of the building, a voice called out.

Qin Tian found the voice very familiar; looking up, it was none other than Zhang Runhao, his defeated subordinate from the day before yesterday!

Not only was Zhang Runhao there, but also standing beside him was an unharmed Lu Qing!

Qin Tian was shocked, not expecting such a scene. Where did Zhang Runhao come from?

”Put your guns down quickly!”

Zhang Runhao strode forward and ordered the two soldiers, ”Hand these hijackers over to the police, and let them deal with them according to the law.”

After that, Zhang Runhao turned his head, looked at Qin Tian with a big smile, and said, ”Master, Madam is fine. She was just a bit frightened...”

”Wait! Wait a minute...”

Before Zhang Runhao could finish, Qin Tian was completely baffled and interrupted him quickly, waving his hand, ”You, you called me what?”

”Heh heh, I called you master,” Zhang Runhao said with a harmless smile while looking at Qin Tian, and continued, ”After you defeated me last time, I made up my mind. I want to take you as my master.”

Fuck, take as a master?

Qin Tian was even more baffled, thinking to himself that you should at least get one’s consent to be an apprentice before you start calling them master, right?

”Well, I forgot to tell you, I don’t have a precedent for taking apprentices, so forget about being my apprentice,” Qin Tian said with a wry face.

”But Madam agreed to it,” Zhang Runhao looked towards Lu Qing and said with a smile, ”Master, I saved Madam just in time, and she agreed to let me be your apprentice. You see... heh heh...”

Fuck, is there such a way to become an apprentice?

Qin Tian was so annoyed he almost rolled his eyes.

What kind of apprenticeship was this? It was coercion! Naked coercion!
