Chapter 413 Jinzhou - Young Man: I miss Ali very much and want to see her
Wen Li held the phone in silence for a moment: "And then?"
"They took advantage of A-Lin being away on a mission to capture him and several of his brothers, and wanted us to exchange them for Blackwater's men."
Wen Li frowned slightly: "When did it happen?"
"The Blackwater guys were discovered seven days ago, and A-Lin was captured two days ago. They're now at the border of Nanyang and Jinzhou. I'm trying to find a way to rescue them. I've negotiated with the Nanyang guys, but they won't accept any terms except the Blackwater guys. They've issued us an ultimatum: if we don't hand them over within three days, not only will A-Lin and several of our brothers die, but Jinzhou will also be implicated. Given the feud between Nanyang and your Blackwater, I'm afraid there's no chance of mediation."
The man's voice was soft and pleasant to the ear. Even when it came to such an important matter, he still spoke calmly and leisurely, as quiet as water, making it difficult to judge his temperament.
Wen Li didn't respond for a long time.
Someone called out to her: "Ali? Are you still listening?"
The word "Ali" sounded tender and gentle when it came out of his mouth.
Wen Li responded.
The other party asked: "How are you going to deal with this matter?"
Wen Li fell silent again, and spoke after a while: "Find a way to save them. Try not to engage in a firefight with the Nanyang people and prevent any casualties. Continue to negotiate with them. If the conditions are not enough, we will continue to raise the bargaining chips. If that doesn't work, we will kidnap their people and capture some valuable bargaining chips to exchange with them."
As Wen Li spoke, his tone began to reveal annoyance.
After she finished speaking, there was a moment of silence on the other side.
So Wen Li asked, "Is there a problem?"
"I'm wondering if something has happened, or if you've changed, Ali." The other party keenly noticed that Wen Li's mood was a little subtle, "This is not your style."
Wen Li was silent.
"Don't worry. Jinzhou is no less capable than Nanyang in every way. We have always kept our distance from each other, and Nanyang will not easily become enemies with us. There are many forces in the dark who hope that we will both suffer losses. While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman will benefit. From what I understand, although the master of Nanyang is cruel and ruthless, he is definitely a rational and intelligent man. I believe he will not fight us to the death for a piece of black water."
After hearing this, Wen Li remained silent.
The man on the other end was a little confused about her thoughts, so after a moment's deliberation, he simply asked, "Ali, do you want to come to Jinzhou?"
"Ah."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Li fell into deep thought on the sofa.
The phone call gave her the illusion of being pulled into reality.
Lu Xixiao's confusion for her grew greater and greater, sometimes causing her to forget that there was a blood feud between her and Lu Xixiao.
Everything that happened in Nanyang, including the resentment towards the other party during that period, gradually became clear again at this moment.
Wen Li turned around and picked up another mobile phone he often used.
He quickly found Lu Xixiao's phone number.
His fingertips lingered on the dial key, unable to move.
I learned from Lu Jingyuan that Lu Xixiao was on a business trip.
Now it seems that Lu Xixiao may have gone to Southeast Asia.
Wen Li exited the page, turned off his phone and threw it aside.
I felt a wave of annoyance in my heart.
Jinzhou——
The Governor's private residence
"Brother Qi, didn't we just receive news that Brother Lin has been rescued and is on the way back? Did something happen? Do you want me to go over and pick him up?" Ah Ming, who was sitting on the single sofa, asked the young man sitting on the main sofa.
The man held the phone that had been hung up and was reluctant to put it down.
Beside his legs, two huge adult mountain lions were lying and napping lazily. Their sharp and wild eyes flashed with golden cold light in the light, revealing the majesty and confidence of a king who looked down on everything and despised all living beings.
There was a lion cub lying on his lap.
"Nothing unexpected happened." The man said calmly.
Compared to when he was talking to Wen Li just now, there was more alienation and coldness in his soft voice at this moment, and it gradually appeared in his eyes.
Ah Ming's expression relaxed, and then he asked in confusion, "Then why did you tell Sister Wen that people were still being rescued?"
The man put down his phone, and with his bony hands he stroked the back of the little lion on his lap. He lowered his gaze to look at the little lion and said slowly, "I miss her so much. I want to see her."
The deep pools of eyes rippled with the words.
"I haven't seen her for 503 days. Last year was her 18th birthday, and I wasn't with her on such an important day."
Beneath the calm tone lies a strong sense of longing.
He lifted the little lion from his lap and brought it in front of him with both hands.
The little lion kicked its hind legs, let out a childish "meow" sound, and swept its little tail back and forth.
The two adult lions crawling at his feet raised their heads.
He yawned with his mouth wide open, then lay back down.
"She didn't even come back to see little Leo when he was born."
As if sensing the man's inner loss, the little lion licked the man's hand and called out twice: "Mimi~"
"Ah~ So this is what you were thinking, Brother Qi. I was wondering, how could you not be able to deal with Nanyang? No matter how difficult Nanyang is, you can still handle them. In my heart, Brother Qi, you are much more capable than that guy Nanyang."
Ah Ming propped up his chin and said, "But Sister Wen hasn't been back for a long time. Not to mention you, Brother Qi, I miss Sister Wen too. I was wondering if Sister Wen was injured in the last fight with Nanyang, and she didn't want to worry about us so she didn't come back to Jinzhou."
Ah Ming frowned, his eyes showing worry.
"A Ming, go check Nan Yang's background again. Find out everything that happened to Nan Yang in the past year since Ali and Nan Yang fought. Spare no money or resources. Ali's attitude towards Nan Yang is a little confusing to me." said the man.
Ah Ming: "Speaking of this, I'm a little puzzled. Nanyang is not easy to mess with, but Sister Wen will definitely not be afraid of it, let alone give in. It's a bit unreasonable that Sister Wen didn't take revenge. For more than a year, Nanyang has been trying to wipe out Heishui. I'm surprised that Sister Wen can endure it. Now that Heishui has been exposed, Sister Wen still chooses to tolerate it. When did Sister Wen become so fearful and magnanimous?"
"Still considering the overall situation? That's really rare. Sister Wen has grown up~" Ah Ming smiled brightly.
"Did Sister Wen say when she would come? Tomorrow? The day after tomorrow?"
The man said, "Don't even think about going to pick them up. Nanyang is definitely keeping a close eye on all of Jinzhou's transportation to prevent us from secretly sending Blackwater's people away. Don't let on that Ali is the mayor, and don't run around. Don't give them a chance to take advantage."
"Hmm..." Ah Ming curled his lips: "Okay."
Wen Li almost didn't sleep all night.
The little guy came from next door early.
He brought breakfast, snacks and fruits. Breakfast was for eating now, and the snacks and fruits were for taking to the club.
Wen Li came down from upstairs.
General Black has already eaten the breakfast brought by the little guy.
"Sister~"
The little guy quickly pointed to the breakfast on the table and called it Wen Li.
