Chapter 446: Keep Your Distance
Following the text message, Gu Fan arrived alone at a dilapidated factory. He waited in silence for a moment, but the place remained empty. Unable to resist any longer, Gu Fan spoke out, "Enough, Ning Qi, I know you’re hiding nearby. Don’t worry, I came alone."
A moment later, Ning Qi stepped out from her hiding place, a smile on her face. "Gu Fan, you truly kept your promise. I knew I didn’t misjudge you."
Gu Fan seemed unenthusiastic, "Talk, what have you done to Lin Xi’s parents? Where have you taken them?"
Ning Qi answered with a smile, "Rest assured, we’re not monsters, we won’t harm them for no reason. Lin Xi’s parents are safe for now, but if Lin Xi fails to cooperate, I’m afraid I can’t guarantee their safety."
Gu Fan frowned at her words, "So what exactly do you want?"
"A simple hostage exchange. Qian Ying in exchange for Lin Xi’s parents. Two for one, a fair deal," Ning Qi maintained her cheerful smile. Gu Fan nodded in agreement, "No problem, when and where?"
Ning Qi replied, "Tonight. I’ll give you an hour and a half to bring Qian Ying here. We’ll bring Lin Xi’s parents, and no one attempts any tricks."
"Okay, deal." Gu Fan immediately called Lin Xi to inform her about the plan.
After hearing the news, Lin Xi promptly agreed to the exchange and warned Gu Fan to be careful. She and Du Jun would bring Qian Ying to the old factory.
