Xiang Yu, holding the phone, suddenly heard a different person speaking. This person spoke with a commanding tone, full of vigor; he was likely the arms dealer.
"Is Xinglong with you?" the man asked calmly.
"Who are you? Acting all important like that, if it's nothing, I'm hanging up," Xiang Yu said.
"It doesn't matter who I am. If you don't send him back right now, I will wipe you out, including all your family members, friends," the man threatened.
"I won't release him," Xiang Yu said calmly, unaffected by his threat.
The two of them talked for quite a while, and the gist was this: Release the man and there will be no problem; if you don't, I'll destroy your entire family. Xiang Yu, on the other hand, acted completely nonchalant, almost driving the other person mad with frustration.
Eventually, they reached a consensus. They would exchange Ning Xiaolu for Ding Xinglong, at an abandoned chemical plant on the outskirts, at eleven o'clock at night.
