Chapter 274 The Most Powerful Strength
When w.a.n.g Rubing regained consciousness, she found herself in a narrow valley. A Nihon man in warrior armor was staring at her with a sword in his hand.
She wanted to speak out, but she realized that her mouth was taped and her body was firmly tied up.
Upon seeing w.a.n.g Rubing wake up, Yagyuu Waaka waved his hand. A few Nihon warriors came over and tore off the tape on her mouth.
w.a.n.g Rubing gasped and asked, “Who are you? Why did you bring me here?”
After all she had been through with Qin Haodong, she had grown much more mature mentally. Although she was slightly panicked, she was still rational. She wasn’t making any irrational moves because she knew that, instead of helping her out, they might cause her more harm.
If these people had made so much effort to bring her here, she knew they wouldn’t let go of her easily. She was just wondering what they were after.
“Miss w.a.n.g Rubing, you’re beautiful.”
Yagyuu Waaka spoke roughly the Celestial Empire language.
w.a.n.g Rubing did not respond. She was watching the man, so she knew he was up to something by kidnapping her here. His motive was obviously not to give her a compliment.
Liu Sheng and Ming said lightly, “Young lady, we heard that you had a brother named Qin Haodong.”
Upon hearing that, w.a.n.g Rubing immediately realized why she had been kidnapped. It turned out that they were after Qin Haodong. However, she would rather get hurt than be the hostage the Nihon man used to threaten Qin Haodong.
She said, “I don’t have a brother. I don’t even have a friend with that name. I guess there’s been a misunderstanding.”
“Miss w.a.n.g Rubing, under the circ.u.mstances, denying the truth won’t do you any good.”
“I’m not denying the truth. I don’t know anyone named Qin Haodong.”
“Miss w.a.n.g Rubing, you can rest a.s.sured that we will not harm you. Qin Haodong caught our young mater. We’re taking you as a hostage to exchange you, but you have to do as we say. Otherwise, I might get too impulsive around a beauty like you.”
w.a.n.g Rubing said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t know anyone named Qin Haodong. You should let me go now.”
“We traveled thousands of miles from Nihon to the Celestial Empire just for this. That’s a mistake we’ll never make.” Yagyuu Waaka smiled. “Since you won’t admit it, I’ll introduce a man to you. You’ll know soon that denying this won’t do you any good.”
After he said that, he waved his hand and a person popped out from behind the tree. It was Li Donghai.
“Mr. Yagyuu, what can I do for you?” Li Donghai asked with a flattering expression as he bowed.
“Miss w.a.n.g said that she doesn’t know Qin Haodong. You can help her correct her statement.”
“You can count on me, Mr. Yagyuu. The three of us grew up together. I’m sure there’s nothing wrong about that,” said Li Donghai as he walked over to w.a.n.g Rubing. Then, he said, “Rubing, just admit it. You can’t lie about this forever.”
w.a.n.g Rubing now fully understood what was going on. Li Donghai had always been a running dog for the Nihon people. No wonder he had changed all of a sudden. He had taken her to the Milan Restaurant so that the j.a.panese could kidnap her.
“Li Donghai, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d. I’m gonna kill you!”
Although she was firmly tied, she still yelled angrily.
“Rubing, what’s all that rage for? Mr. Yagyuu said they won’t do any harm to you. All they want is that b.a.s.t.a.r.d, Qin Haodong.
Mr. Yagyuu is a generous guy. They’ll pay you well if you work for them.”
“You get away from me. You traitor, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you beast…”
w.a.n.g Rubing was full of rage at the moment. She cursed at Li Donghai by using every word she knew.
Based on what Yagyuu Genpachiro had said, Yagyuu Waaka had contacted Liu Donghai as soon as he had arrived in the Celestial Empire.
He had offered 1 million as a reward and immediately bought Li Donghai’s full a.s.sistance, including his promise to kidnap w.a.n.g Rubing to threaten Qin Haodong. That had been his plan.
Her swearing made Li Donghai feel embarra.s.sed. “How can you say that, Rubing? We’re sister and brother. You’ve got no blood bond with that gigolo boy,” he said.
“Sister and brother? Yet you had me kidnapped?”
w.a.n.g Rubing’s angry eyes were glaring at him.
“How is this a kidnapping? Mr. Yagyuu promised he wouldn’t do any harm to you, and he’ll pay you generously after this is done. How much do you earn by working now? Several grand? Just think about it. His money will support you for your whole life.”
“Li Donghai, have you no brain? How can you believe him? You’ll be lucky if you don’t get killed!”
“I don’t think so. Mr. Yagyuu promised me some serious money. Plus, he’ll take me back to Nihon. I’ll be living there in the future.”
Li Donghai’s facial expression made w.a.n.g Rubing lose any interest in talking him out of this. The guy had no dignity or brain.
Yagyuu Waaka said, “Miss w.a.n.g, my beauty. Do you have anything to say now? Wealth and nationality won’t be a problem as long as you work with us.”
When w.a.n.g Rubing turned back and refused to talk to the man. She was praying and hoping that Qin Haodong would not be fooled by these people.
Yagyuu Waaka said, “Miss w.a.n.g, looks like you don’t want to work with us.”
w.a.n.g Rubing looked at him coldly and said, “Save your c.r.a.ppy ideas. Li Donghai wants to be a traitor, but I don’t!”
“Miss w.a.n.g, I admire your courage.” Yagyuu Waaka sneered, “Whether you work with us or not won’t make any major difference for our mission this time. Qin Haodong will have no choice but to die today.”
w.a.n.g Rubing said, “In your dreams! He’ll die after all of you die!”
“You don’t believe me? We’ll see how Qin Haodong gets minced by me later.”
As he spoke, Yagyuu Waaka waved his hand at the man beside him. A warrior handed him the phone.
w.a.n.g Rubing knew that the man was going to threaten Qin Haodong by using her. She wanted to rush over and grab the phone, but she was tied firmly so she couldn’t take even one step further.
Qin Haodong glanced at the phone on the table. He instinctively felt that it had something to do with w.a.n.g Rubing. He took a deep breath and picked up the phone.
Meanwhile, Qi Wan’er held the laptop in her hand, her fingers clicking fast. She was trying to locate the call in the shortest time possible.
“Is that Qin Haodong?”
Yagyuu Waaka spoke in rough Celestial Empire language.
“Who’s that? Did you kidnap my sister?”
“Smart. Since you already know, let’s make a deal. You bring us the young master of the Yagyuu, and we’ll give Miss w.a.n.g back to you. How does that sound?”
Qin Haodong said, “Any other options? You have to prove to me that you’ve got my sister.”
Yagyuu Waaka put w.a.n.g Rubing on the phone and asked her, “Miss w.a.n.g? A word to your brother?”
w.a.n.g Rubing yelled by the phone, “Haodong! Just ignore them! They wouldn’t dare do anything to me!”
Yagyuu Waaka took the phone back. He was very satisfied with what w.a.n.g Rubing had done. The more she yelled like that, the faster Qin Haodong would come over and help them.
He said on the phone, “How about that? You believe me now?”
“Lay one finger on her and you’ll wish you were never born.”
Qin Haodong sounded extremely cold. What he hated most was being threatened, especially if someone used his relatives. Those people had really crossed a line.
However, Yagyuu Waaka seemed not to care about it at all. He smiled evilly and said, “She’s way too pretty, and you know I’ve brought all my strongest friends this time. I can only guarantee her safety for one hour. It’s hard to say what will happen after that.
Bring me the young master within one hour or risk her safety.”
Qin Haodong said, “Give me your address. I’ll take Yagyuu Hirai to you right away.”
He had sentenced all of them to death. Anyone who dared to touch his family would bear the consequences.
“See you at the western suburbs of Jiangnan in one hour…”
Yagyuu Waaka hung up the phone after he gave him the address. He squatted on his legs across w.a.n.g Rubing, knife in hand. As a jonin, he had to adjust to his best self before every war.
Qin Haodong hung up the phone and asked Qi Wan’er, “Did you locate him? Is this real?”
“Yes, I did. The place he called from matches w.a.n.g Rubing’s phone call. That’s a real address.”
“Can you check out how many people they have? Are they powerful?”
Although he was filled with rage, Qin Haodong remained rational. One had to know themselves as well as the enemy. Otherwise, instead of saving w.a.n.g Rubing, he might get into big trouble.
Qi Wan’er checked on it again and got the result in two minutes. “Besides regular flights, a private jet flew from Nihon to the Celestial Empire this morning. That must be the flight those kidnappers were on.”
“How many of them? And how strong?”
Qin Haodong was totally impressed by Qi Wan’er hacking abilities. Her a.s.sistance saved him lots of trouble.
“There were 96 people on the plane, but I’m not sure about their cultivation or strength. They’ve prepared a long time for this, so they won’t be kind to us. We’ll have to be careful.”
“One hundred people! They’ve spent generously on this.” Qin Haodong sneered. Now that they had dared to p.i.s.s him off in the Celestial Empire, he would make them pay the price.
“Make an announcement immediately. Things are sinister now. Have someone replace the Divine Mercenaries. They are protecting Momo and I need them to join this mission.”
Since he couldn’t figure out the opponents’ strength, he’d have to mobilize his strongest forces.
After Qi Wan’er left, Qin Haodong quickly called Hu Xiaoxian. He had to keep Yagyuu Hirai under his control, as the enemy had asked for a hostage exchange.
The phone was soon picked up. Hu Xiaoxian giggled and asked, “Little man, miss me already?”
Given the urgent situation, Qin Haodong said as fast as he could, “Nihon people kidnapped my sister. Send Yagyuu Hirai to Daddy Security Company in ten minutes. I’ll need him for a hostage exchange!”
Hu Xiaoxian immediately became serious. “Take it easy. I’ll be there in ten minutes!” he promised.
Qin Haodong hung up the phone. A siren was coming from the yard of Daddy Security Company. That was the No.1 Alert set up previously. This was the first time it had been put into use.
The members of Daddy Security Company were all experienced soldiers from special troops. They all gathered in the training court upon hearing the siren. In 30 seconds, a team of one hundred people had been a.s.sembled.
Nalan Wushuang rushed to the court and saw Qin Haodong’s stern expression. “What’s going on?” she asked.
