Chapter 192 Negotiations
“Ah …” the Yankee sniffed as Asher knocked him down, this time the burly man who fell to the ground clutching his leg and letting out a wolfish howl.
It’s not a matter of physical strength, but Asher is in a hurry and doesn’t want to waste a second on some unrelated people.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Asher’s mind, maybe they could do this …
After Asher knocks down that man, Nangong Man also happens to have the other strong man under control, and just as Nangong Man tries to fight back, Asher gives Nangong Man a wink to make Nangong Man stop.
Nangong asked hesitantly when he understood Asher’s meaning, and the force of his grip on the strong man’s hand loosened a few points.
The strong man whose arm was held back by Nangong asked thought that it was the long fight another Chinese man’s physical strength was exhausted, his heart was happy and he used all his strength to roll over and break free his hands.
The other American next to him saw his companion break free successfully and also thought it was Nangong Man’s physical strength, and rushed to punch Nangong Man in the abdomen, Nangong Man took the trick and fell to the ground, holding his stomach and wailing, and as expected he was tackled a moment later.
And Asher, as a companion, naturally goes to save Nangong Man, and he tries to reach out and grab Nangong Man’s hand, only to be kicked to the ground by the strong man behind him, and of course such Asher is arrested without exception.
The two men were shoved into a black van after being tied up, their mouths taped shut, their hands tied behind them, completely immobile, and their eyes taped with black tape so they couldn’t really see. All that was known was that the car kept moving forward and the road was going so steadily that it was surprisingly not the least bit bumpy.
“Be honest!” A man’s voice came from the doorway of the car.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Asher and Nangong asked looked up in surprise, did it mean that besides the two of them, there was someone else here who knew Chinese?
Just as the two were thinking about it, they were pulled out of the car by a couple of large men.
After the tape was removed from both Asher and Namgung’s eyes, what caught Asher and Namgung’s eyes was a dimly lit room.
Just as the doorway of the dimly lit room was constantly sprinkled with colorful lights and the occasional sound of some music, it looked like the back room of some bar, Asher thought to himself.
Dimly lit rooms, tightly guarded, where the hell is this place?
At that moment deep in the light, a blond man with his back to Asher and Namco asked faintly, “Welcome to America!”
Asher and Namgung asked with a puzzled look on their faces, who was this person in front of them? Why did they have to capture them here?
“Who are you?” Asher had been curious as to how someone could have learned of his movements and could determine exactly when he was at the moment he exited the airport, and could have easily sent a hit man to keep watch. If he was correct, this person would be the boss from Director Wang’s text message, the one who had taken Mia!
“Haha, it’s really the president of Jun’s group, not to be confused in the face of danger. Hey, it seems that Miss Mia has a really good eye.” The American gradually walked out from the dim light, the light behind him getting softer and softer, the lingering green smoke in the dimness getting thinner and thinner.
The sound of leather shoes tapped on the wooden floor with a crunchy chirp. A tall, blond man with red wine in his hand stood before Asher and Namgung asked, eyes playful.
“You know us?” On the one hand, Nangong asked, surprised that this American man’s Chinese was so authentic, and on the other hand, he was really puzzled that he didn’t know this man! If he was one of the directors of the American headquarters of the Shengshi Group, then he must know him, then who was this man in front of him?
“Looks like you’re the one Nangong asked, the vice president of Shengshi Group in China, Miss Mia’s man, quite a nice guy too.” When the blond man heard Nangong asked, the corner of his mouth lifted upwards for a moment, turned around and walked in front of Nangong asked, his right hand shook the red wine in the glass and slowly drank it down.
“You know Mia ?” Asher couldn’t help but tighten his heart when he heard this blond man mention the name that was haunting his heart twice. This man really knew about Mia, and he knew everything about the Shengshi Group, so it looked like this guy should be someone from the Shengshi Group. Surely it was Sheng Shi’s people who kidnapped Mia?
Asher’s words were like a cold sword, without any temperature at all, and although his body was controlled by the big American man behind him, there was no fear in his words, instead a kingly demeanor was revealed.
“Haha, that’s an interesting statement from Mr. Jun, how could I not know Miss Mia? Not only do I know her, I know her very well, hasn’t Miss Mia been my guest in recent days?” The blond man said carelessly as he looked away from Asher who had no fear.
“It’s true that you guys did it!” Nangong asked with a frown as if he thought of something, his eyes lit up as he looked grimly at the blond man in front of him.
The blond man smiled without saying anything, lifting the glass in his hand and taking a sip from it, shaking it and playing with it.
“You are that old man Greene’s son, aren’t you? I was saying why I had seen all the directors but had no recollection of you, I can’t believe I didn’t think of this connection, you only inherited old Greene a few months ago, didn’t you, Greenes Bruce?” Nangong asked looking at the man in front of him with certainty and contempt beyond words.
“Finally, you remember me, it seems that Nangong-san’s memory isn’t as bad as I thought it was.”
Seeing Bruce admit it, the doubts in Nangong asked’s heart were finally cleared up a little, the corners of his mouth lifted and he smiled back, “Since it’s an acquaintance, Bruce you wouldn’t be so petty as to use such harsh tactics to receive your acquaintances, right, such hospitality from you is not welcome in China.”
The blond man smiled noncommittally and ordered the five burly men behind Asher and Namgung asked, “Let go of all my friends, the way you all treat your friends is rude and they all dislike it.”
Asher and Nangong asked both looking at each other, their eyes making contact instantly understanding why they had just heard Chinese in the car, it turned out that some of these Americans behind them could actually speak Chinese.
The five men behind them received the order to let go of Asher and Nangong asked, and actually let go of Nangong asked and Asher in unison, folding their hands in front of them and pushing them to stand in a line at the door.
Asher’s eyes flashed a little, and he thought to himself that it must be one of them who had taken Mia.
“I don’t suppose Mr. Bruce brought us here to get us to drink with you, did he?” Asher knew best in his mind that the guy in front of him must know Mia’s whereabouts and was just playing a guessing game with them. Since this guy wasn’t willing to open up, it proved that this person was trying to make some sort of deal with them. Since it was a deal to be made, then naturally he, Asher, didn’t have to make the first move, but of course, to listen to what this man had to say.
“Oh, General Jun is really quick. Not bad, I invited you here because I want to talk to you about a press matter. Please sit down first, you two.” Bruce put the glass of wine in his hand on the table, sat himself down and crossed his legs, greeting both Asher and Nangong asked to sit down as well.
Nangong asked and glanced at Asher, only to see Asher nod slightly as the two walked side by side to the table and both sat down.
“Now, we can talk about it, go ahead.” Asher took the drink Bruce handed him and downed it in one go.
“Jun always drinks like that, aren’t you afraid I’ll put something in this drink?” Bruce chuckled as he picked up another glass and poured the wine, skimming Asher as he took a drink.
“I don’t think Mr. Bruce has all the time in the world to joke with me, so let’s cut to the chase. As for the wine, Jun thinks he’s not a bad drinker, so I won’t bother you with that.” Asher looked at Bruce coldly, now he was anxious as hell, maybe he would see Mia soon, just how was she doing?
“Good, then let’s get back to the point. This time, I just want you two to go back to China, and as long as you don’t think about taking Mia away, then when the time is right, I will definitely return an original Mia.”
Bruce put down the glass in his hand and put away the false smile in his eyes, seemingly in a commanding tone.
“Oh? Mr. Bruce is so joking, I came to America this time to take my fiancée, and I’m afraid I can’t help you with Mr. Bliss.” Asher’s heart was full of anger as soon as he heard this awful request, and the emotions that he had been suppressing had long been tumbling through his mind.
Hearing Asher’s reply, Bruce’s brow furrowed and he slammed his fist down on the table with a heavy fist, the displeasure in his eyes leaking through.
Nangong asked, who had not understood what this Bruce had in mind, was furious upon hearing such an excessive request from him, and spoke, “Does Mr. Bruce want us to go home empty-handed?”
“I advise you two gentlemen to think it over, and know that I won’t do anything to Miss Mia, I will let her go back to China as soon as the time comes, and it is better for you to listen to me.”
Asher couldn’t understand better in his heart, it was just a reprieve. When he had taken the trouble to rob Mia from his wedding and killed the only director who knew the reason, they must have known about Mia’s relationship with Leng Tianming and wanted to get rid of Mia. Such a request was just a desire to branch out the two bulbs in the way, if they really believed his bullshit, I’m afraid Asher would really be three years old!
“And what if, say, we don’t go back? What if we have to take Mia with us!” Asher clenched his fist and slammed it on the tabletop. The glass that had been sitting on the tabletop spilled a lot of wine from the shock.
