Chapter 93 - 93 93 Do You Know Me
?Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Do You Know Me? Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Do You Know Me? The captain was also very relieved at this point.
“Before their live broadcast today, they must have discovered the presence of the International Black Alliance on the island, so they could prepare in advance to leave us clues.”
“Speed up the pace, we must not let anything happen to the kidnapped individuals.”
Since the team members who were resting saw Han Chi and others’ distress signal in the live broadcast and reported it, they immediately convened a meeting to decide on rescue measures.
Before leaving, they had suddenly received a directive from above, ensuring that the people on the island must be rescued no matter what, with particular emphasis on protecting Lu Xun and Ji Xinghang.
Especially Lu Xun, who was designated as the top rescue priority. It is said that he is more than just a celebrity; his identity is very important, and mistakes are not permissible.
So they became even more anxious, but who knew that the more urgent it was, the more things delayed them.
They were really afraid something would happen to the targets of the rescue, but after seeing the note, they breathed a sigh of relief.
They were familiar with the style of the International Black Alliance; they would not commit to actions like killing hostages before resolving the ransom issue.
With Han Chi and Fu Yunbing accompanying, the kidnapped individuals should be safe for the time being.
The person holding the navigator spoke, “There is definitely a powerful signal jammer on this island, so the navigation is malfunctioning, as is our communication equipment.”
“The aircraft radar problems we experienced before must also have been affected by the jammer on this island.”
They had wondered why the radar had been disrupted so severely, but now knowing that the Black Alliance was involved, it was not surprising.
The organization was massive, and it included many top-specialized talents.
The captain nodded. “It must be so; I would have never thought these people would hide on this deserted island.”
“How unlucky for those celebrities. Anywhere else would have been fine for their show, but no, they had to come to this godforsaken deserted island. That director has a screw loose,” he couldn’t help but complain.
The other team members agreed with this sentiment.
The director currently being criticized was also filled with regret. He had definitely been foolish before, eagerly bringing guests and students upon discovering a new deserted island seeking thrills.
Now, the thrills were too much to handle.
At the moment of the director’s regret, the door to the cabin was suddenly opened, and Luo Ning and others were pushed inside.
The director was startled to see them, then bitterly smiled and said, “You’ve been caught too.”
He had been praying that the guests and students would be safe, but they had also been captured.
Everyone was stunned to see the production crew, obviously not expecting them to have been caught first.
They then realized why there was no cell signal; it wasn’t the production crew’s malicious intent, but they had fallen into dire straits before them.
At this moment, they were also annoyed with the director; why choose this place of all places, to seek thrills here?
“What else?” Chai Jing said with irritation. “This time it’s really blown up big.”
Wei Yao said, “Yeah, you chose a great location.”
The director’s smile grew even more bitter. “I didn’t expect that the kidnappers’ lair would actually be on a deserted island.”
“I’m sorry everyone.” He stood up and bowed to everyone with a remorseful expression.
Luo Ning avoided his gesture, “It’s already come to this, let’s all calm down first and figure out how to survive.”
Her words made everyone swallow the complaints they were about to voice.
Indeed, complaining was useless now; focusing on survival was more important.
“Little Ningning, do you have any ideas?” Wei Yao asked quietly.
Hope flashed in the eyes of the others; they could only pin their hopes on Luo Ning, the Feng Shui Master and talisman painter.
Luo Ning raised her hand to her lips and made a “shush” gesture, also giving everyone a wink.
That signaled she indeed had a plan, which significantly bolstered the flicker of hope that had arisen in everyone.
“Let’s sit down and rest for a bit, keep up your strength,” Luo Ning whispered to everyone.
Now, they all looked to her for guidance, nodding in agreement before finding places to sit down.
Conserving energy was essential for escaping, they understood that.
Yes, what everyone was thinking was whether they might find an opportunity to escape; they certainly did not dare entrust their lives to the whims of the kidnappers keeping their word or not.
Waiting for the kidnappers’ decision after paying the ransom was a last resort.
Just after everyone had sat down, the middle-aged man who brought them in opened the door and walked in.
He looked at Luo Ning and said, “Come with me.”
Luo Ning displayed a look of surprise on her face, but she wasn’t startled inside, having heard from Han Chi that Bo Xiangxiang had ordered Shi Ji to deal with her.
Lu Xun stood up suddenly and blocked in front of Luo Ning, coldly saying to the middle-aged man, “If there’s anything, I will go with you.”
He did not feel at ease letting Luo Ning, a girl, be taken away by these people.
Ji Xinghang, who had risen a moment too late, was torn…
However, at this point, he couldn’t bother with his dislike for Lu Xun anymore, quickly stepping in front of Luo Ning as well, “Right, if you have any issues, talk to us.”
The middle-aged man squinted his eyes and pulled out a gun, pointing it at the two of them, “Move aside, or don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Luo Ning gently tugged at the two of them from behind, and when they looked at her, she gave them a meaningful glance.
Being taken away alone now was a good opportunity; why not go for it?
Lu Xun immediately understood Luo Ning’s signal and whispered softly, “Be careful.”
Ji Xinghang could only purse his lips, adding, “Call out if anything happens.”
Everyone present except for Bo Xiangxiang watched Luo Ning with worried expressions.
They were going to take her away, but for what purpose?
Luo Ning nodded at Lu Xun and Ji Xinghang before stepping forward and saying to the middle-aged man, “Let’s go.”
The middle-aged man holstered his gun with a smile, “At least the pretty girl is sensible.”
Soon Luo Ning followed the middle-aged man to a wooden house in the center, its door already open.
After entering, the middle-aged man didn’t speak, leaving Luo Ning alone inside and thoughtfully closed the door.
Inside the wooden house sat a man wearing a mask and dressed in black camouflage gear.
When he looked her way, Luo Ning recognized his eyes and gaze – they were very familiar, like she was back in high school, with that boy who used to follow her around.
“Who are you?” she pretended not to recognize Shi Ji; after all, he was wearing a mask and probably did not want to be recognized.
Shi Ji’s gaze lost its warmth, shifting back to an indifferent veil, “You’ll stay here for two days. When the others come, you’ll leave with them.”
Luo Ning scrutinized him, “Who are you, and do you know me?”
Shi Ji shook his head, but his eyes inadvertently softened as he looked at Luo Ning, “I don’t know you. I’ve always had a regard for capable Feng Shui masters and just wanted to create some good karma with you.”
Luo Ning noticed that this Shi Ji was quite different from the one who had abruptly returned from abroad in her last life to pursue her. Emotions and gazes were deceiving.
That Shi Ji was cold and slightly sinister; his tenderness sometimes felt deliberate, his speech was occasionally suave, and his eyes never matched up with the Shi Ji from high school.
If not for the exact same facial features, voice, and birthmark on his arm, she would’ve doubted they were the same person.
Seeing Shi Ji now, Luo Ning couldn’t help but harbor some suspicions.
