Chapter 1060: Chapter 1060
In the Flowing Cloud Sect’s dungeon, Qin Aotian, exuding an imposing aura, stood outside the cell with his two sons.
At this moment, the three of them seemed even more formidable than before, and just standing there made people feel a terrifying sense of oppression.
Qin Aotian held a mobile phone, dialing while looking grimly at Chen Cang in the cell:
"Kid, it seems Tang Ming is not answering the phone. Looks like he doesn’t care whether you live or die!"
"Dad, don’t waste words with him. Let’s just kill him."
Qin Haitao impatiently suggested.
"No, no, no, you haven’t reached him yet, and it’s not like my brother Ming hung up on you. This means you haven’t contacted him. If you kill me just like that, you’ll get nothing."
Disheveled and covered in dirt, Chen Cang quickly shook his head, now hoping Tang Ming could come and save him. If he got killed , it would be a huge letdown.
"Chen Cang is Tang Ming’s subordinate. Tang Ming will definitely care about his life. As long as we can reach Tang Ming, we can not only have him deliver the ransom but also lure him over to kill him."
Qin Haitian looked at Qin Aotian and said hoarsely, "Dad, we can’t kill this guy just yet."
"Of course, I know we can’t kill him, but Tang Ming’s phone is off, calls don’t go through, and texts go unanswered. It’s infuriating."
Qin Aotian kept dialing, mumbling in frustration.
Just then, the call suddenly connected, and a burst of noise came through the phone.
Even Qin Aotian was stunned, quickly speaking into the phone: "Hello, is this Tang Ming?"
"Hello, who is this?"
A thick-tongued voice came from the phone.
"I’m Qin Aotian. I want to negotiate."
Qin Aotian shouted coldly.
"What ’tian’? I’m busy today and tomorrow, when exactly are you looking for me?"
Tang Ming’s slurred speech sounded.
"Tang Ming, damn you, I’m Qin Aotian from the Qin family."
Qin Aotian cursed, unable to understand what was going on with Tang Ming.
"Oh, it’s the dead eunuch from the Qin family. What do you want from me? I’m drinking now."
Tang Ming finally reacted, asking in confusion. He was attending a celebration banquet, and as soon as his fully charged phone was turned on, he received this call, leaving him puzzled.
"Heh, you seem to be enjoying yourself. Let me have you hear a familiar voice."
Being called a eunuch, Qin Aotian held back his anger, walked to the cell door: "Chen Cang, the call is connected. Say a few words to your boss!"
"Brother Ming, save me! They have me locked up in the Flowing Cloud Sect, and they want to ruin my appearance."
Chen Cang immediately shouted hysterically into the phone.
Sitting in a private room drinking, Tang Ming sat up straight, his drunken redness fading from his face instantly.
"Little Tang, what’s up?"
A drunken Su Tianyu put his arm around Tang Ming’s shoulder: "Come, drink another glass."
"I have something to do and need to leave for a bit. You all continue drinking."
Tang Ming expelled the alcohol from his breath, quickly left the private room, stood by the corridor window, and said into the phone:
"Qin Aotian, if you dare harm Chen Cang, I assure you I’ll hunt you three to the ends of the earth."
"Heh, I’m really scared."
Qin Aotian’s disdainful voice rang out, "Now that Chen Cang is in my hands, you dare threaten me? Believe it or not, I can kill him right now."
"Don’t! What exactly do you want?"
Tang Ming frowned, trying to remain calm as he asked.
"Haha, it’s rare to see you admit defeat. Really rare."
Seeing Tang Ming not as arrogant as before, Qin Aotian couldn’t help but laugh.
"Cut the crap. As long as you don’t harm Chen Cang, I’ll try to fulfill your conditions."
Tang Ming impatiently promised. With Chen Cang in enemy hands, he had no other choice, and it was quite baffling too.
Chen Cang, a dignified Seven-star Martial Master, how did he end up as the Qin family’s prisoner? Could it be Liu Bi and Yao Buji’s doing?
"Very well, I won’t be polite with you either."
Qin Aotian said coldly and authoritatively: "To spare Chen Cang’s life, you must agree to two conditions."
Tang Ming squinted and asked.
"First, the Tangming Group is making a fortune daily, worth billions. I’m not being unreasonable; just give me two billion as ransom, and I’ll let Chen Cang go."
Qin Aotian opened his mouth wide.
"No problem, I can send someone to deliver the money now, or transfer it directly to your account."
Tang Ming agreed without hesitation. Money didn’t matter to him; as long as he saved Chen Cang’s life, it was worth any amount.
"Don’t rush; I haven’t mentioned the second condition yet."
Seeing Tang Ming so compliant, Qin Aotian smiled playfully, "The second condition is that you must personally bring the two billion to Flowing Cloud Sect to ransom him. Otherwise, even if you transfer the money to my account, I still won’t release him."
"That might not be possible at the moment." Tang Ming frowned tightly and said:
"I’m not in Songlan City now, and I have other matters to handle. I can’t return in the next two days."
"I don’t care. You must hurry back, or else it’s not my responsibility to take care of idle people here."
Qin Aotian warned coldly.
"Fine, I’ll wrap up all my matters as soon as possible and return to make the exchange with you."
Tang Ming pondered, realizing that compared to Chen Cang’s life, nothing else mattered.
"Excellent, I’ll wait for your good news then."
Qin Aotian laughed in satisfaction, not expecting that capturing Chen Cang would force Tang Ming into such a position.
"Wait, I want to speak with Chen Cang."
Tang Ming quickly shouted, "I don’t trust your words, I need to know Chen Cang’s situation."
After a moment of silence, Qin Aotian actually agreed.
In the cell, Qin Aotian knocked on the cell door and handed the phone inside:
"Tang Ming wants to talk to you."
Chen Cang quickly got up and took the phone to a corner.
"Dad, is it okay to let Chen Cang and Tang Ming talk directly?"
Qin Haitao worriedly looked at Qin Aotian: "What if Tang Ming sends experts over, wouldn’t we be at a disadvantage?"
"Heh, with our current cultivation, how high of experts can Tang Ming send?"
Qin Aotian disdainfully smirked, squinting his eyes towards Chen Cang:
"We captured just one Chen Cang and forced Tang Ming into such a compromise. If he indeed sends someone to rescue, we’ll just capture more people. The benefits we can gain then, won’t they be even greater?"
"Right, father is wise indeed."
Qin Haitao suddenly understood, then smiled wickedly.
Qin Aotian dared to taunt Tang Ming so openly because, after cultivating the Yin Yang Holy Method that Chen Cang had revealed, the cultivation of the three of them had all broken through.
