Chapter 150 Love at First Sight
Zhao Xing laughed, some of the surrounding brothers’ eyes were unconvinced, some were envious, and none of them cared about Mia who was in the corner and was in pain with a blue face and a cold sweat.
Just now Zhao Xing’s kick was tucked right on her stomach, Mia’s pain at the moment was too much for her to bear, her voice was no longer so calm, instead it rang out with some fear, “Can you guys help me look at it, I’m in pain.”
No one in the room paid any attention to her, and she spoke a little louder before the shorty finally replied, “The brothers don’t even have money for food, so naturally they won’t have money to pay for your medicine, so you should fucking stay there quietly, don’t look for a beating!”
Mia was in pain and couldn’t move on the floor, and sniffed, knowing that the robbers were not good people after all, even though they had promised her mercy, she smiled bitterly and cowered in the corner herself, trying not to draw attention to herself in the room.
A few of the robbers heckled for a while longer and began to open up for lunch, and Naru looked up first, her voice too calm to be a teenager, “I’m hungry.”
Shorty immediately answered, “I’ll go find a meal if Brother Cheng is hungry, so you guys stay here and keep watch.”
Sun Xing pulled back Shorty, who was already running towards the door, and said with a sneer, “Who doesn’t know your temperament, doesn’t it just dislike the cold and mess here, let you go out and God knows when you will come back.”
Shorty asked with a grimace, “What then?”
If it wasn’t for the fact that Lina valued this very powerful fighter and let Zhao Xing take special care of him, it was possible for him to starve himself to death, so it was clear that his sloppy clothes were not his true nature, it must be because Zhao Xing was too lazy to change his clothes.
Riina listened carefully to their discussion with her side ears, knowing the relationship and movement between the robbers, it was good for her to escape, although her hands and feet were bound, with her a weak woman could throw out the chances were not very good, but finally she might get a chance, her stomach was not very painful at this time, but still pretended to be in difficulty, face to the wall and not move.
Zhao Xing also did not expect the eye man to go to buy food, but the little shorty is a piggyback character, go out to take care of the food must first play after sleeping enough to come back, and so he went to get lunch, a room of people do not know what kind of people have to be hungry to eat, and he himself is the person in charge of this operation Lina designated, also can not leave the mission objective, glanced around, he headed to the corner of the house to read a novel next to the big man.
Toe kicking the big man who was grinning and giggling over the plot of the novel on his phone, Zhao Xing shouted, “Hey, Lao Gou, stop watching and go get some lunch!”
The big man, an honest one, immediately rose from his addiction to the novel and answered nervously, “Hey!” Lifting his feet, he headed out of the house.
Zhao Xing grabbed him back, his thin and tall height was still much lower than the big man, and his body looked out of proportion with this Old Gou, but Old Gou was still easily pulled back by him, “Did you bring any money ah just go outside, here you go!”
Old Gou scratched his oily, bald head, the flesh on his face quivering, and said with a smile, “I forgot.” And then he took the money and went out again upside down.
Shorty snorted, not finding much point in it either, and fell back into the corner to close his eyes and squint.
Zhao Xing nestled beside Naruto and dozed off, Mia acted very honestly, besides being so heavily guarded, they weren’t worried at all that the weak woman would escape.
Not only was Zhao Xing and the others so relieved, but Lina was also kind of relieved with the strength of this man she had working for her, and she was sitting leisurely at home at the moment, staring at the TV, but obviously her mind was not on those boring shows.
After waiting to reel off what her mind had to say again, she took out her nifty little cell phone and dialed Asher, who still didn’t pick up after many rings until the electronic voice of the service lady came over the phone, Lena dropped the phone and frowned in disbelief that Asher wasn’t answering her calls.
Riina called again and again, the phone rang a few times on the other side but this time it was simply held up, the call that went through the line that the number you have dialed is on hold made Riina pause in annoyance, Asher had ruffled her call!
Riina’s fire was instantly less, she smiled coldly and dialed Asher again, she kept calling and couldn’t believe Asher wasn’t picking up!
Sure enough, by the time there were more than five calls, Asher picked up as soon as the phone rang, his cranky, impatient voice mixed with a drunken slur coming through, “What’s up!”
The tone was very harsh but Riina didn’t care about that as she said coldly, “Asher, originally I was going to talk to you nicely however seeing your attitude you don’t seem to be going along with this, so let me be blunt, you have to marry me.”
Asher just took it as a joke: “What are you talking about? Is there anything going on or not? I’m hanging up if there’s nothing!”
The corners of Riina’s mouth ticked up as she smirked and said to Asher, “Go ahead and hang up, just don’t regret it when you do.”
Riina rarely looked so set in her ways when confronted by Asher, who realized something was wrong and asked Riina in a patient, soft voice, “What did you do?”
Riina purposely dangled Asher and whined, “Guess what.”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Asher simply withheld the call.
Riina was stunned on the other side and thought for half a day before calling Asher, this time she decided not to challenge Asher’s patience and as soon as the phone picked up she confessed straight away, “I’ll let Mia go if you marry me, she’s already in my custody!”
The person on the other end of the line seemed to be lost for a moment, grunting incoherently for a few moments before she seemed to snap out of it and she heard Asher’s pitch-shifted voice, “What did you say?! What have you done with Mia!”
Riina smiles smugly, just not worried that you don’t care about Mia, but in her heart she’s actually jealous to a point, “It’s upsetting me that you care so much about her, if you showed a little less of your concern I might treat her a little better.”
Asher was pulling clothes on himself quickly, “Tell me where you took Mia, I’m warning you, if you lay a finger on her, I’ll kill you!”
“Try it, if you touch me, I’ll make sure you never see Mia as a person again in your life!” Riina’s tone also sharpens, Asher has never been this nervous about her, how can she not be jealous, “I’m telling you, if you don’t marry me, you’ll wait for your Mia to be tortured to death little by little.”
Having had the experience of being withdrawn from her marriage before, she cannot feel at ease now even after being engaged to Asher, and she can only hope that after tying the knot, Asher will take into account the interests of both families and stay by her side forever.
Asher’s forehead bruised and he slammed the door to the bar booth with a thud as he coldly asked Lena, “Where the hell did you hide Mia, stop dreaming!”
Lena lit up a cigarette over here, her voice incredibly light compared to Asher’s thought, “I won’t tell you where she is, and you won’t be able to find her unless you promise to marry me.”
Asher immediately hung up the phone, went out and took a taxi to the entrance of Lina’s villa, dropped the phone and dialed his secretary first, “Mia is missing, find out her whereabouts immediately!”
The secretary was confused over there, “What Mia is missing, wasn’t she fine during the day today?”
Although Asher wouldn’t say so, the secretary was also keeping an eye on; Mia’s movements, and he assumed at the moment that Mia was safely at home; after all, the maid at Mia’s house hadn’t sent him word that Mia was missing.
It couldn’t be blamed on that maid, Mia was out with Nangong Man, although Nangong Man came back earlier than Mia, he had already instructed that there was no need to prepare Mia’s dinner, so it was evident that Mia should have gone out on her own for something, she certainly didn’t know that something had happened to her mistress.
Asher tried to sound as calm as possible, detailing the information he knew to his secretary, then hung up the phone and started banging on the door of Leena’s house.
Of course, that slamming of the door wasn’t an exact statement, but the way Asher knocked on the door was so violent that Lena could hear the thumping at the door as she sat in the inner room.
The maid went to open the door, and before she could see who was at the door, Asher had entered in a gust of wind, accompanied by a roar, “Lena, get your ass out here!”
Lena slowly and methodically straightened the hem of her dress that had been crinkled from leaning on the couch for so long before she stepped out of the inner room at a pace and smiled softly at Asher who was already nearly frantic, “Asher, you better be able to talk to me calmly, the worse you treat me, the worse it will be for Mia.”
Asher stood for a long time breathing heavily before he could barely keep the fire down, the gaze he shot at Leena was almost sword-like, the air around him was as dark and heavy as a long brewing tornado, the room was still chilling even though the air conditioning wasn’t on.
“I’ll give you whatever you want if you hand over Mia.” Asher tried to negotiate a deal with Lena.
Riina skipped a laugh, “What do you think you are? Your credibility is already known to be bad, you’ve already repented once before, I wouldn’t dare trust you again.”
Asher pounded his fist on the coffee table, shaking the teacups with a clink, a teaspoon dripping and rolling onto the carpet without making a sound, and he turned his head away from looking at Leena’s owlish face, afraid he’d miss hitting it in the moment, “Your aim.”
Riina was pleased with the effect she had caused, she had twisted her psyche a bit, no longer seeking Asher’s heart, only his person in bondage, “Just marry me and Mia will naturally be released in peace when the time comes, but it will be impossible for you to see her again, I will send her across the ocean.”
