Chapter 1228: The purpose of kidnapping

“Even if I told you my purpose it’s not like you can do anything!” the man said blankly, “You’re just a bargaining chip, the one I’m looking for is your old man, Feng Tianlong!”

“You’re looking for my father?” Feng Xiaoxiao cunningly eyed the man in front of her, pondering how she could escape his control.

“I have nothing to say to you,” the man glanced at Feng Xiaoxiao and said, “I don’t want to waste anymore words on you, so don’t bother with your clever thoughts, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking!”

Feng Xiaoxiao immediately became gloomy. This guy obviously wasn’t stupid, he saw through her escape plan so he didn’t even plan to talk too much with her.

After that, the man ignored Feng Xiaoxiao and dialed Feng Tianlong’s number.

“h.e.l.lo, I am Feng Tianlong,” Feng Tianlong’s voice rang from the other side of the line.

“Are you Feng Tianlong? h.e.l.lo there!” After hearing Feng Tianlong’s voice, the man immediately cackled, “I’m really glad to hear your voice!”

“Who’s this?” The tone of the other party visibly stunned Feng Tianlong, “What do you want from me?”

“Of course I want something from you!” The man glanced at Feng Xiaoxiao and said, “Feng Tianlong, your darling daughter is in my hands right now. What do you think? You must be very alarmed after hearing this?”

Feng Tianlong’s heart tightened, Xiaoxiao’s in his hands? Then who is this person? What’s his intention? Was it exactly as he said or was it a scam?

“Who are you exactly? What is your purpose?” Feng Tianlong was in fact someone who did big things, even though he was nervous on the inside, his tone was still very calm.

“Feng Tianlong, don’t tell me you’ve already forgotten who you started a feud with?” The man sneered and said, “It looks like your memory isn’t that good?”

“If you don’t even tell me your ident.i.ty or purpose, then it’s unnecessary for us to keep talking,” Feng Tianlong said in a nonchalent tone.

He knew that if the other party has actually kidnapped Feng Xiaoxiao, there must be some sort of scheme behind it. Rather than him trying to guess himself, it would be better for them to just tell him. There was no way that Feng Tianlong would guess carelessly, this matter involved a system of secrecy as well so what if the other party was some spy that was sent to pry into the secrets?

Therefore, Feng Tianling was very certain that if he refused to guess, the other party would instead tell him the truth.

Sure enough, after the other party hesitated, their voice sounded slightly agitated, “Feng Tianlong, if you dare to hang up, your daughter will die!”

“Tell me your purpose, no need to threaten me. Besides, whether or not my daughter is actually in your hands is another matter!” As he spoke, Feng Tianlong glanced at Li Yifeng who was standing beside him. Li Yifeng immediately took notice and quickly ordered the technical staff to track the speaker’s position.

“Hehe, Feng Tianlong, my purpose is very simple: use your daughter’s life to trade for the safety of our second in charge!” The man stated his purpose, originally he had wanted to lead Feng Tianlong on and even get some inside information from him. However, Feng Tianlong was obviously not that easy to fool, which ruined his plans so he had to speak the truth.

“Oh? Second in charge?” Feng Tianlong paused. By this time he could completely confirm the ident.i.ty of the other party, “Someone under the Red Conch?”

“Haha, it seems that Mr Feng isn’t stupid after all! You’re right, I am someone under the Red Conch!” The man laughed, “Now that you know my ident.i.ty, then let’s be quick, do you agree to my condition or not?”

“You want me to release your second in charge?” Feng Tianlong frowned and asked.

The person that this man wanted, was the bald guy that Lin Yi and Feng Xiaoxiao arrested at the underground race course! The Red Conch was an international criminal organisation, and since Feng Tianlong had arrested the second in command, how could he just release him just like that?

However, if the other party actually had Feng Xiaoxiao as a bargaining chip, what should he choose? Should he choose justice, or choose family?

Feng Tianlong did not expect that, as a special agent, he also had to experience making this type of choice.

This moment was the first time he felt uneasy inside him, even though he seemed very calm on the outside.

“Yes, it seems that Mr Feng understands what I mean,” the man said, “As for what to choose, it would depend on Mr Feng’s desire. Your daughter’s only 18 years old right? Right at the age where she is as delicate as a flower. For her to just die like this, isn’t this just too unfortunate?”

“How do I know if Xiaoxiao is actually beside you?” Feng Tianlong glanced at Li Yifeng. Li Yifeng shook his head, it was obvious that he hadn’t located the other party yet.

“The other party is using a phone number from an overseas telecommunication company, we need to crack a few network routers…” Li Yifeng quickly wrote down these words on a blank page and placed it in front of Feng Tianlong.

Feng Tianlong nodded his head slightly, understanding what Li Yifeng meant. Li Yifeng wanted him to continue to stall the other party to gain more time for the technical staff.

“Haha, Feng Tianlong, don’t think I don’t know what you’re trying to do!” The man said disdainfully, “You just want to talk to me a bit more to stall me right? And then you can get your workers to locate me, am I right or wrong?”

“Hmph! You can think whatever you want to, I just want to confirm whether or not my daughter is actually with you!” Feng Tianlong never expected his strategy to be seen through by the other party, but even so, Feng Tianlong wouldn’t admit to it.

“Okay, then I’ll let you hear your daughter’s voice, to rea.s.sure you too. Then we can decide about this deal,” the man spoke without caring, and smiled at Feng Xiaoxiao, “Little girl, say something to your daddy!”

“…” Feng Xiaoxiao shut her mouth, refusing to speak.

Feng Xiaoxiao had been listening in on the conversation between the man and her father, once she heard that her father had wanted to stall the time so that they could locate him, she started to think about how she could help her father stall some time as well.

When she heard that the man wanted her to talk to her father, Feng Xiaoxiao immediately thought of an idea! If she kept her mouth shut then she could stall some time and allow her father to locate her.

Therefore, Feng Xiaoxiao shut her mouth and did not speak.

By doing this, her father couldn’t determine whether or not she was in the man’s hands, and then she could stall some time. This was the only thing she could do right now.

Feng Xiaoxiao did not know where she was, it was an unfamiliar place. It seemed like a residential house but the living room didn’t have that much furniture, only a sofa. She couldn’t see outside from where she was sitting either, which made Feng Xiaoxiao unable to determine her exact location.
