Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 317

Chapter 317: Chapter 317: Kidnapper Boss

As Jiang Cheng heard it, so did Sun Aiguo and the driver up front.

The driver, Xiao Li, had already cut his seatbelt, ready to pounce and fight.

He was a retired comrade personally found by Shen Que, with solid skills, and wouldn’t have retired if not for an injury.

"Hold on a second."

Jiang Cheng whispered, and after Xiao Li turned back to meet Jiang Cheng’s reassuring gaze, he hid the small knife between his fingers.

"Get them out quickly!"

"I told you to use fewer spikes, don’t cause any deaths!"

"Hurry up!"

There were lots of voices outside, and amid the ruckus, the car door was violently pried open, pulling out Jiang Cheng and the other two.

"Don’t move! We don’t want to hurt you, just follow commands, and we’ll release you in a few days."

Jiang Cheng and his two companions sat on the ground, looking up.

Around them were seven or eight men with their faces covered in coarse cloth, three of them holding hunting rifles, the other four machetes.

Even if Xiao Li was a great fighter, he was still made of flesh and blood.

With blood streaming down his forehead, Jiang Cheng managed a wry smile.

"Alright, as long as you guys are so reasonable, we’ll certainly cooperate."

"Come on, why don’t you tie us up a bit?"

Jiang Cheng put his hands together, wrists forward, with an expression of eager cooperation, which puzzled the seven men across.

Is kidnapping supposed to be like this?

It was their first time too; they really had no clue about the proper procedure.

Out of the seven men, six looked at one person, who was evidently the leader.

The tall man, with a pinched voice, said, "Tie them up."

A few minutes later, Jiang Cheng and his companions, wrists bound, were watched by the seven as they marched towards the wilderness.

After about ten minutes, a donkey cart appeared ahead.

"Get on!"

Jiang Cheng cooperatively remarked, "Wow, there’s even a cart, how nice."

"I’ll sit up front, or I’ll get car sick in the back and delay the journey, which wouldn’t be good."

Saying this, Jiang Cheng actually sat at the front, right beside the leader.

The others exchanged looks, all thinking the same thing: is this lady out of her mind?

Jiang Cheng didn’t care what others thought. After sitting down, she adjusted to a comfortable position and asked the tall leader beside her, "Brother, may I know your esteemed surname?"

The tall man turned his head and said, "I’m the kidnapper."

"Ah—sorry, my mistake for asking about trade secrets."

Jiang Cheng said with a look of apology, "Why don’t you make up a fake name? It wouldn’t be polite to keep calling you ’hey hey hey’, right?"

"My name is Jiang Cheng, you can call me Sister Jiang or Cheng Sister."

"Oh dear, dear kidnapper brother, how old are you? I wouldn’t want to call you older than you are, that would be disrespectful."

...

Once Jiang Cheng started yapping, she didn’t stop, talking to the leader from when they sat down to when they got off.

Jiang Cheng didn’t mind at all and kept chatting with the new underling.

From time to time, the new underling was almost chatted up by Jiang Cheng.

If not for the reminder from others, he might have revealed where he lived.

The kidnapper leader finally couldn’t take it anymore and fiercely said to Jiang Cheng, "Shut up!"

"Alright!"

Jiang Cheng cheerfully agreed and didn’t say another word.

This straightforward response left the seven kidnappers speechless.

Was she really this obedient??

"Go!"

Jiang Cheng got up, and one of the kidnappers with a gun followed, along with the kidnapper leader.

Xiao Li and Sun Aiguo wanted to get up, but Jiang Cheng turned back to reassure them, "It’s fine, the kidnapper brother will protect me, right?"

Kidnapper leader, gritting his teeth, agreed with a hum.

Jiang Cheng, with a beaming smile, said to the kidnapper leader, "Brother, you’re the nicest kidnapper I’ve ever met, though I’ve never met any others, but you’re really not bad."

Jiang Cheng chatted familiarly as she went to answer nature’s call.

The kidnapper leader and another kidnapper who followed her turned their backs, with the leader asking Jiang Cheng to keep talking to ensure they knew she was there.

Jiang Cheng was very cooperative.

"Kidnapper brother, you said you want us to stay for a period, I guess someone doesn’t want me out?"

"Not wanting me out must mean they fear my intelligence threatens their plan." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Being too smart is indeed a burden... By the way, brother, did you take this job for money or to return a favor?"

The kidnapper leader remained silent, but Jiang Cheng continued anyway.

"Brother, if it’s for money, I might offer more, and I won’t call the police."

"If it’s for a favor, then it’s a shame for your righteousness, ending up working for foreign devils."

"Sigh—helping those foreign devils damage our Hua Xia’s local industry, using their toxic foreign stuff to ruin our Hua Xia people’s bodies, really... what a move."

"Brother, have you heard of the destruction of opium at Tiger Gate?"

Jiang Cheng continued her tirade, from the opium destruction at Tiger Gate to how foreign devils persecuted the people, from the Nanjing Massacre to the hardship of the anti-Japanese war.

"Our good days have finally come, yet these foreign devils aren’t satisfied, coming back to Hua Xia to collapse my food factory."

"Once my food factory fails, their food factory can occupy the market share. Do you really think these foreign devils care about our Hua Xia people’s health and will sell us good things?"

"Sigh—I have no power over these matters."

"Wow—a cry for help, Brother Geng—we can’t be the dogs of the foreigners!"

Jiang Cheng watched the younger one weep and thought: Not bad, still got the knack for BSing.
