Chapter 502: Chapter 504: Murong Fei Helps【Third Update】

What to do? What’s next?

Qin Tian scratched his head, finding the situation indeed tricky.

The main problem was that they still hadn’t figured out the identity of the other party, which made it impossible to decide on a countermeasure.

Moreover, it seemed the kidnappers were experienced. If Qin Tian and his team used any ploys that were detected by the kidnappers, Zhou Yang and the others could be put in grave danger, and that was unacceptable!

Furthermore, a crucial point was the ransom—twenty million US dollars... Qin Tian couldn’t come up with that much in US dollars right now!

All of it was unfolding to the disadvantage of War Dragon, leaving everyone without a plan.

”Thankfully there’s still a sensor on... I guess Zhou Yang used some trick to leave this detector on purpose, to let us know their exact location.”

Qin Tian let out a sigh of relief, lit a cigarette, and continued, ”With Zhou Yang’s extensive experience, it’s entirely possible. Therefore, I believe we must make a trip to that nameless island. Waiting for the kidnappers to release them is unrealistic; we must rescue them ourselves!”

The three from the small village all nodded.

”If the other side learns of our strength and background, I suspect they’ll demand a ransom this time, and if they think it’s going smoothly, they’ll ask for a second, a third, until we can’t pay anymore... The most despicable thing is, once we can’t pay, those guys will tear up the tickets, killing Zhou Yang!”

As soon as Qin Tian’s words were out, everyone gasped in shock.

But none could deny that this scenario was indeed possible.

Zhou Yang and the others might have discovered the kidnappers’ identities - how could those kidnappers truly release them?

”So... Boss, should we rush over as fast as possible?” Lin Yu clenched his fists and asked.

Qin Tian gestured with his hand and said, ”Split into two groups.”

”Here’s what we’ll do: Xiao Zhuang, prepare a copy of the island’s location and the route for each of us. Then, you three head to the nameless island first, and I’ll follow.”

”I’m arranging it this way because I’m worried that they might also locate me through the signal of the phone I used to talk to them. If they find out we’re approaching, Zhou Yang and the others may be in mortal peril.”

Upon hearing this, the three from Jiang Hu all looked at Qin Tian with admiration, his composure and meticulous thinking at such a critical time proving him to be a leader worthy of their respect.

”So you three take all the necessary gear and go ahead, while I’ll be stalling the kidnappers here and raise money to keep them on the line.”

Making the final decision, Qin Tian dispatched Xiao Zhuang and the two others to the nameless island in the Pacific Ocean that very afternoon.

It wasn’t like Qin Tian sat idle either; though he was extremely reluctant to give the kidnappers money, with lives at stake, he could only temporarily submit and prepare the ransom.

He gathered all the cash he could mobilize, plus the cash funds available from Qin Pharmaceutical, Qin Hotels, and Qin Real Estate, beyond their daily operations. After converting it all to US dollars, he barely managed to come up with ten million dollars.

But what about the rest of the money?

Time waits for no one. Qin Tian immediately drove to Murong Fei’s office.

Having just finished a meeting, Murong Fei saw Qin Tian’s hurried arrival. Especially noticing Qin Tian’s pale complexion, she immediately sensed something was wrong. She brought Qin Tian into her office and then instructed Wang Yu not to let anyone else enter her office for the time being.

”Piggy, what’s wrong? You look awful. Has something happened?”

Seeing the sweat on Qin Tian’s forehead, Murong Fei’s face showed concern. She poured him a cup of hot water and urged him to sit down.

But Qin Tian did not sit. Staring at Murong Fei, he said, ”President Fei, I need to borrow some money.”

”What?”

Upon hearing Qin Tian immediately ask for a loan, Murong Fei was momentarily stunned, then quickly responded, ”How much?”

”Ten million.”

”Alright.”

”US Dollars.”

”...Okay.”

Hearing Qin Tian’s words, Murong Fei hesitated for a moment but still agreed directly, looking at Qin Tian with concern, ”Drink the water in your hand, and sit down first, I’ll help you raise the money.”

After all, it was ten million US dollars, a large sum of money, and Murong Fei also needed time to raise it since Qin Tian suddenly asked for it.

Qin Tian, on the other hand, looked at Murong Fei with some surprise. He hadn’t expected that after hearing his request to borrow money, Murong Fei hadn’t said a word or asked a single question, but had just agreed directly.

”Fei, aren’t you going to ask me why I’m borrowing money?” Qin Tian said.

”If you don’t tell me, it means you don’t want to, so why should I ask?”

”Uh... actually...”

”Don’t explain now, I’ll make a phone call.”

Murong Fei sat down in the office chair and made a call. A minute later, Wang Yu walked into the office.

”Hello, Captain Qin... President Fei,” Wang Yu greeted Qin Tian very warmly.

”Wang Yu, how much foreign currency does our group company have now? In US dollars.” Murong Fei got straight to the point.

”Um, it seems there are over two million US dollars. What’s up, President Fei?”

”I need ten million US dollars in cash right now, and we’re short eight million... Postpone the contract we were planning to sign with the American company Ou Fei and move that money...”

”Ah? President Fei, the contract with Ou Fei Company can’t be delayed, if we postpone it, we’ll lose the opportunity to cooperate with them. That’s something you secured by making several trips to the United States, this...”

”Don’t say anymore, it’s decided. I will explain this to my grandfather; you just do as I say.”

”President Fei...”

Wang Yu wanted to say something, but seeing the firm look in Murong Fei’s eyes, he knew her decision was set in stone and could not be changed, so he pursed his lips in resignation.

”Raise these ten million US dollars by today, and then, give it to Qin Tian.”

As Wang Yu was about to leave the office, Murong Fei added.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yu was stunned, glanced at Qin Tian, and nodded, ”Yes, by tomorrow at the latest.”

Once Wang Yu left the office, it became quiet inside.

Qin Tian looked at Murong Fei quietly, feeling moved in his heart.

She was actually willing to give up a hard-won cooperation opportunity just to raise money for him?

”President Fei...”

”I know what you want to say; don’t thank me if you consider me a friend.”

”Alright, I won’t thank you, but I still need to ask for your help.”

Qin Tian hesitated for a bit, then stood up and briefly told Murong Fei about the emergency that had occurred.

Murong Fei was shocked to hear that Qin Tian’s men had been kidnapped abroad.

”I’m raising the money not to ransom them; simply using money won’t bring them back. I’m planning to use the money to buy us time,” Qin Tian finished, looking at Murong Fei.

Murong Fei looked worried and asked, ”How will you hold them off?”

Qin Tian walked up to Murong Fei, looked down at her stunningly beautiful face, and said, ”This is where I need you to help me again.”
