The present situation is a dilemma that Mu Zijin has to confront.
Wan Kun's vicious revenge is just one of the numerous reasons why most soldiers who return from service in the military disappear.
If Mu Zijin fails to show up, Wan Kun will undoubtedly cut off Wen Xiaoting's finger!
She was well aware that mercenaries like Wan Kun would do anything for money.
But the problem was that if Mu Zijin went to meet him by herself, who could guarantee that she would return safely?
When Mu Zijin heard what Xiong Zheng said, she softly shook her head and added firmly, "No matter what he does, if I'm even a second late, Xiaoting will be in grave danger. So, please hand over the walkie-talkie. I'd like to speak with Wan Kun!."
Mu Zijin's voice was kind yet authoritative.
Xiong Zheng sighed when he saw this. He was well aware that he couldn't persuade Mu Zijin.
To characterize Zijin's personality; When she makes a decision, it is pointless for others to try to convince her.
"Okay, instructor." Xiong Zheng replied, then asked someone to bring the walkie-talkie.
The negotiation specialist quickly handed up the walkie-talkie.
Despite having previously conducted a round of discussions with Wan Kun, the kidnapper only wanted to talk to Mu Zijin and would not speak to anybody else.
Mu Zijin took the walkie-talkie and spoke lightly, her voice frigid, "Wan Kun."
After Mu Zijin's voice had been heard for a while, there was a buzzing sound on the other end of the walkie-talkie, followed by some static as if a machine was interfering with the connection.
"Captain Mu, I can finally see you hehe, it's been two years since I last saw you, but I'll never forget your voice."
The man's voice on the walkie-talkie sounded distorted, making everyone who heard him feel uneasy. It was how a dangerous snake would wait for the right moment to attack.
Ye Fei also frowned slightly, and felt uncomfortable when he heard this voice.
Mu Zijin replied coldly, "Stop talking nonsense, I'm already here, what do you want?."
Wan Kun scowled and spoke coldly, "Captain Mu, What do you think I'm after? I missed the person I used to be. The situation on the border was structured at first, but it is now getting chaotic, and it turned me into the greatest loser. My lover, as well as my faithful subordinates, have died. I'm having such a miserable life now. It is all your fault!!."
Wan Kun's voice became unusually icy as the sound of his teeth clenching could be heard.
His accent is thick and his Mandarin is poor, and he made matters worse with his loud voice.
Ye Fei deduced from his tone that Wan Kun is a mixed race who grew up on the border since infancy, thus he's fluent in numerous languages and it explains his heavy accent.
"Wan Kun, I advise you not to go too far, you just let Wen Xiaoting free, otherwise.." Xiong Zheng reminded him too loudly.
When Wan Kun heard Xiong Zheng's voice, he replied, "Tsk Tsk, Xiong Zheng, you have no say in this. Captain Mu, the fact that I am meeting with you today proves that I am not afraid of death! Still, I'll have to kill a few people today, so I hope you're not too upset, hehe!."
When Ye Fei and Mu Zijin heard what Wan Kun said, they both glanced at each other and understood the situation wasn't favorable.
Listening to Wan Kun's tone, he really isn't afraid of death!
Furthermore, if Wen Xiaoting continues to be in Wan Kun's control, Mu Zijin will worry about her best friend's safety at every second.
What Ye Fei and Mu Zijin didn't realize was that Wan Kun had been living like a dog at the border since the previous time he escaped death.
He'd constantly be hunted, or his living conditions would deteriorate.
Because Wan Kun had previously offended numerous forces on the border, and now that his authority had been shattered by Mu Zijin and the army, he couldn't get along with the other mercenaries at the border zone at all.
In the past two years, Wan Kun hated Mu Zijin very much!
In Wan Kun's view, if it hadn't been for Mu Zijin, he wouldn't end up like this at all.
So, rather than worrying about his living conditions or surviving in desperation, he should just let it go and retaliate relentlessly against Mu Zijin!
Thinking like that, Wan Kun handed the remainder of his money to his loyal subordinates, who were prepared to give up their lives for him.
After Wan Kun and his small group of subordinates arrived in Yanjing, they found an opportunity to kidnap Wen Xiaoting and threaten Mu Zijin!
Xiong Zheng was furious, "Wan Kun, you bastard, I should have killed you several times in the first place!."
"You are also deserving like Captain Mu, hehe, if you truly want to save Wen Xiaoting, one of you needs to obediently walk to the home I'm staying in," Wan Kun sneered. "You are not permitted to carry any weapons with you. I would encourage you not to become too rowdy. I hid bombs all throughout the house. As long as I believe you're suspicious, I'll detonate the bomb and let you perish alongside me!"
Hearing what he said, Xiong Zheng became enraged and exclaimed, "It's impossible, don't be stupid!."
"Huh, is my request too much? If I can't see Captain Mu within ten minutes, I'm sorry, but I must cut off Wen Xiaoting's finger," Wan Kun replied.
As soon as Wan Kun's voice fell, he heard Mu Zijin say, "Okay, I promise you!."
Ye Fei frowned slightly. If she met Wan Kun personally, the situation would become dangerous.
Nonetheless, Ye Fei saw this as a chance.
The relationship between him and Mu Zijin is only at the last layer. If they truly want it to become a relationship between a man and a woman, they need an opportunity.
"Wan Kun, let's change the conditions." Ye Fei's voice wasn't loud, but Wan Kun heard it clearly.
And when he did, his frigid voice sounded from the other end of the line, as he said, "A strange voice, who are you? Are you qualified to discuss the terms with me?."
"Mu Zijin is my woman, now, am I qualified to talk?" Ye Fei remarked, his voice calm but icy.
Mu Zijin and Ye Fei pretended to be a couple in front of Xiong Zheng, so Ye Fei's words were true.
"Hey hey, Mu Zijin, it's so generic, you killed my woman, and now God is bringing your man in front of me," Wan Kun said over the walkie-talkie. "I'm quite excited!."
Mu Zijin's face softened somewhat, and a troubled expression developed on her feminine features.
Obviously, Wan Kun is eyeing Ye Fei.
