Chapter 840: I'll Be Your Hostage!

Hongling Group.

Chairman's office.

Li Na is busy familiarizing herself with the speech draft for the Ruilin Group capital injection ceremony!

"Hello, I'm from the Dynasty Audio specialty store. The set of audio equipment you ordered from our store last time has arrived. May I ask when you would be available? I'll have someone deliver it to your residence."

Upon hearing this, Li Na was stunned for a moment.

This audio equipment was a birthday gift she had ordered for her father, Li Zhongling.

Li Zhongling is an audiophile who pursues the sound quality of high-end audio equipment.

The market did not have the audio equipment Li Zhongling needed, so Li Na found a specialty store and ordered a million-level audio system from abroad.

"I'm free this afternoon; you can deliver it around one o'clock."

"Very well. Since the sound quality will need to be tuned at that time, please make sure you are present."

"No problem!"

Hanging up the phone, a helpless, bitter smile appeared at the corners of Li Na's mouth.

The audio equipment arrived as promised, but her father was already trapped in a cage.

Li Na walked to the desk and logged into QQ.

Suddenly, many messages popped up.

The sender was "Calm Days."

"What have you been busy with these past few days? Why haven't you been online at all?"

"If you see this message, please reply to me. I'm very worried about you; did something happen to you?"

"No matter how difficult things are, don't give up. You must believe in the future."

Li Na clicked on these unread messages one by one.

Although she had never met "Calm Days," she could feel the sincere concern between the lines of the messages sent.

It added a touch of warmth to Li Na's frozen heart.

"Calm Days" was not online at this moment.

Li Na replied to this kindred spirit of a netizen,

"I've had some trouble these past few days. It is indeed as you sensed; I have encountered unprecedented difficulties.

However, it has all passed now. Thank you for your concern.

In the vast sea of people, having someone silently caring for me makes me feel very happy.

Don't worry, I will definitely live my life well."

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Li Na drove to her father's residence.

After entering, because no one had lived there for a long time, a musty smell rushed to meet her.

She opened all the doors and windows, walked into her father's bedroom, and saw her father's photo frame on the table; her eyes could not help but feel a bit sore.

The doorbell rang, and Li Na walked downstairs to open the outer iron gate.

A truck drove in.

The driver parked the vehicle steadily, jumped down from the driver's seat, and took out a delivery note to hand to Li Na.

"You are Ms. Li, right?"

"Yes, I am!"

"Please sign this note. Also, please pay me the balance."

"Okay!" Li Na quickly signed the delivery note, then turned and walked into the house to take out a bag, "This is the balance of 360,000."

The driver counted the money, "My task is complete. A professional audio engineer will come by later to help you tune the equipment."

"Understood!" Li Na nodded at the driver.

Subsequently, the truck left.

About half an hour later, Li Na received a phone call.

"Hello, is this Ms. Li Na? I'm here to tune the audio equipment. Are you at home?"

"I am. Where are you now?"

"I'm at the door."

"Wait a moment."

Li Na quickly walked out from inside and opened the courtyard gate.

Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, and looking down, she saw that a cold pistol was pressed against her.

Li Na had not yet reacted.

The man in front of her lowered his voice and warned, "Don't act rashly, or I will kill you immediately."

The man before her was a stranger, but his voice could not deceive her.

"You are Liang Shiyu!"

Liang Shiyu was disguised at this moment, but from his appearance, one could not tell what he originally looked like at all.

"That's right, it's me! You didn't expect me to come looking for you, did you?"

Li Na said in a low voice, "Calm down. Whatever you want, I can give it to you. The police are looking for you everywhere right now; I suggest you leave quickly."

Liang Shiyu suddenly grabbed Li Na's chin, his eyes revealing a sense of ferocity and anger, "I don't need your reminders. Are you pitying me?"

Li Na quickly showed weakness and tried to persuade Liang Shiyu,

"Liang Shiyu, we were classmates. I admit that I hurt your feelings during high school. I sincerely apologize to you. You should hurry up and confess, and strive for a lighter sentence!"

Liang Shiyu let out two cold, sinister laughs, "A lighter sentence? You say it so easily. I don't need an apology. You made me end up so miserably; don't think you'll have it easy!"

As soon as his voice fell, a commotion came from behind him.

A group of Police rushed out from the corner.

Liang Shiyu widened his eyes, staring in disbelief at this group of people who had suddenly rushed out.

He realized that there had been an ambush nearby for a long time, waiting for him to take the bait!

Liang Shiyu moved behind Li Na, clamped his arm around her neck, and pressed the muzzle of his gun against Li Na's temple.

"Don't come any closer! If you come any closer, I'll shoot."

"Liang Shiyu, don't get agitated!" Tang Ye walked out from the crowd at this moment, and he said in a low voice, "As long as you release Li Na, we can agree to any of your conditions."

Liang Shiyu looked at the young man before him and sneered, "Who the hell are you! Why should I trust you?"

Tang Ye raised his hands high, "My name is Tang Ye, and I am the Executive Deputy County Magistrate of Dayu County."

This was the first time Liang Shiyu had come face-to-face with Tang Ye.

He had seen Tang Ye's file.

The photo looked much more mature than the person himself, so he hadn't made the connection!

"So you are Tang Ye! I was fooled by you. Do you think I would still trust you?"

Tang Ye patiently persuaded him, "The plan targeting you this time was formulated by me. Li Na was merely cooperating with me. Every debt has its debtor. You release Li Na, and I will be the hostage."

Hesitation flickered in Liang Shiyu's eyes; although this was only his first time meeting Tang Ye, he had already personally experienced Tang Ye's craftiness.

At this moment, Li Na's eyes were filled with complex emotions.

The courage Tang Ye displayed was moving!

"You want to be my hostage? Haha, Li Na treats you like an enemy, yet you come to protect her? This is too ironic. Hurry up and arrange a car, then withdraw from the passageway, otherwise, I will perish together with Li Na."

Tang Ye mocked, "Liang Shiyu, you are too cowardly; using a woman as a human shield, I look down on you."

Liang Shiyu sneered, "I admit that I have lost completely, but since I am having a hard time, none of you should think about having it easy. The cooperation between Hongling Group and Ruilin Group—I will not let that happen."

Once something happened to Li Na, the cooperation would certainly be affected.

Tang Ye was worried that Liang Shiyu would lose control, so he instructed Xing Zhijun.

"Listen to him, go and arrange a car."

Xing Zhijun nodded slightly, "Understood!"

Not long after, Xing Zhijun ordered someone to drive a car over.

Liang Shiyu slowly retreated to the side of the sedan, and after opening the car door, he suddenly sneered at Tang Ye.

"Didn't you want to be a hostage? I'll satisfy you; you drive!"

Tang Ye sat in the driver's seat without changing his expression.

Liang Shiyu held Li Na hostage and sat in the back seat of the sedan.

"Don't try any tricks with me. Drive out of here first. If anyone follows me, I will kill Li Na first, then kill you."

Tang Ye pacified him, "As long as you don't act impulsively, they won't take any rash actions!"

Having said that, he slammed his foot on the accelerator.

The sedan drove several dozen meters away.

Tang Ye suddenly jerked the steering wheel!

The sedan rushed off the road, lost its stability, traced an arc, and plunged into the artificial lake...
