Seeming to see Christine White’s surprise, Owen Dong waved a wrinkled hand, “Baird Lane needs to hear your voice before he’ll believe you’re here with me, pick it up.”
Is that so?
Christine White’s eyes shifted several times as she allowed this bodyguard who had brought her cell phone over to untie one of her hands.
Once that hand was free, she gave it a little shake to ease the swelling of her wrist and reached over to get ready to answer her cell phone.
Just moments after she touched the phone, Molly Bort next to her yelled like crazy, “Christine White you’re not allowed to answer it, give me the phone, I want to talk to Baird!”
Christine White glanced at her with a frown, not wanting to pay attention.
Molly Bort won’t comply and has to make noise.
She had forgotten where she was at the moment, and that the old man in front of her was her greatest fear.
All she knows is that the phone in Christine White’s hand is her hope, and the person on the other end of the line, the only one who can save her.
She didn’t want to miss it!
“You go, let her know what it means to be quiet.” Owen Dong narrowed those beady old eyes and gazed at the agitated Molly Bort with great displeasure, looking at her as if she were dead.
One of the bodyguards behind him answered at his command and headed toward Molly Bort.
Soon after, Christine White heard Molly Bort scream, and then there was no movement.
The warehouse became quiet again, and Christine White, though curious to find out what had been done to Molly Bort, was told by reason not to look.
So she then tried her best to hold back her inner curiosity and didn’t look, but a few drops of cold sweat seeped out from the corners of her forehead, showing how unsettled she was at the moment.
She didn’t expect Owen Dong to be so shady, Molly Bort just screamed a few times and was taught a lesson by his order, but it also made her realize that she must be more careful with her words after that, or else she would be just like Molly Bort, who accidentally pissed off this old man and was also taught a lesson by this old man’s order.
She had already been taught a lesson once, she knew Owen Dong’s tactics very well, letting someone beat her, that is to beat her to death, she didn’t want to suffer once, not to mention that she was still carrying a baby in her stomach, what if she was beaten and miscarried?
So she can’t afford to gamble, and the only thing she can do is try to go along with Owen Dong and not say, or do, something extra stupid!
With that in mind, Christine White took a deep breath and picked up her cell phone and put it to her ear.
“Christine?” Baird Lane’s voice came from the other end of the line, in repression, with a hint of nervousness.
And the voice sounded even huskier than last night.
The tip of Christine White’s nose instantly soured, and a great sense of resignation surged even more in her heart, “It’s me …”
“Are you okay?” Baird Lane asked her, raising his voice.
Christine White’s sense of grievance grew heavier in her heart, and her whole being became a little petulant.
She wanted very much to tell him that she had been splashed with ice water by Owen Dong and was now so cold.
But she didn’t dare, just afraid that if she said it, it would upset Owen Dong, and after the phone call was over in a while, Owen Dong would let someone clean her up.
So Christine White could only hold back her aggravation as she replied to the caller, “I’m fine …”
“Where are you now?” Baird Lane asked through clenched back teeth.
Christine White looks to Owen Dong, “I don’t know …”
That was all she could answer.
She was actually tempted to tell him that she was in a warehouse, and maybe he would be able to use that little clue to find out where she was.
But with Owen Dong here, she really doesn’t dare!
“I know.” On the other end of the phone, Baird Lane closed his eyes deeply, not the least bit surprised by this answer from Christine White.
Christine White bit her lower lip, “Baird, is Aunt Lucy okay?”
“It’s fine, it was found by the off duty nurse, it’s awake now.” Baird Lane returned.
This woman, she’s been kidnapped herself, and she still cares about others.
“Yeah, that’s good.” Christine White heard that Aunt Lucy was fine, her heart was greatly relieved, and on her pale face, she couldn’t help but reveal a faint smile.
Only the smirk didn’t last long before it was washed away by a jolt through his body.
She gave a cold shiver and a sneeze, followed by her teeth fighting up and down again.
Baird Lane heard cackling and his brow furrowed, “What’s that noise?”
Christine White shrank back, “No … Nothing?”
“Christine White!” how could Baird Lane not hear the heartiness in her tone, and his face fell, “Tell me honestly, did Owen Dong do something to you?”
“I …” Christine White squeezed her cell phone tightly, a difficult expression on her small face.
Baird Lane also quickly reacted to the fact that there might be someone guarding her side of the table, and that there were some things that were inconvenient to say, so he stopped pushing her, and biting the back of his seat of his teeth, he asked, “Is Owen Dong still at your place?”
Christine White nodded, “In.”
“Give him the phone.” Baird Lane commanded.
Christine White hmmm’d and took her cell phone off her ear, “Chairman Dong …”
Before she could finish her sentence, Owen Dong opened his old, fake-sleeping eyes and pestled his cane.
The bodyguard who was guarding Christine White moved and snatched the cell phone from her hand and gave it to Owen Dong.
“The Lane Family kid.” Owen Dong put his cell phone to his ear and spoke conspiratorially to the other end of the line.
Baird Lane tightened his face, “Dong old, what have you done to my wife?”
“It’s not much, it’s just having cold water thrown on you.” Owen Dong smiled back grimly.
“Splashed cold water?” Baird Lane’s grip on his cell phone tightened abruptly, as if he were about to crush it, and his eyes went crimson.
No wonder he’d just heard cackling.
Turns out that was the sound of her shivering in the cold.
“Owen Dong!” raged Baird Lane, his handsome face hard, “What do you have coming at me, I’m warning you not to touch her!”
Owen Dong listened to Baird Lane’s warning and didn’t take it to heart, after glancing at Christine White who had her head down and couldn’t read her expression, he leisurely touched the tap of his cane, “The Lane Family boy, that’s a bit of a contradiction in terms, I’m moving all the way around, and don’t you think it’s too late for you to be talking about that now? ”
Baird Lane’s forehead veins showed, “Owen Dong, give her a clean set of clothes.”
“You’re ordering me around?” Owen Dong raised an eyebrow.
Orders?
Christine White raised her head slightly at the sound of those two words, and
What did Baird tell him?
Baird Lane’s eyes narrowed dangerously, “That’s what I’m threatening you with, you think I don’t know what you kidnapped my wife for, isn’t that just to get at me, I’m telling you you couldn’t get at me if anything happened to my wife, and there’s no way in hell I’m risking my life for someone who’s already in trouble.”
“Heh, you think I will believe your words?” Owen Dong coldly grunted without panic, “Judging from the way you called immediately after you learned that your wife had been taken away by me, you’re very worried about her, very nervous about her, and you’re saying this because you just want me to draw attention to the fact that I’m not going to make a move on your wife again.”
Baird Lane wasn’t surprised that his mind was made up; he was supposed to be provoking Owen Dong into doing what he said.
“Since you know, then you’d better listen to me, and you mustn’t think that my words are really just casual remarks, if something really happens to my wife, I’ll immediately send out my men to surround you and avenge my wife’s death, and you won’t even be able to see me until you die at that time, let alone deal with me.”
Speaking of this, Baird Lane lowered his voice, his voice so cold that it sent shivers down one’s spine, “Owen Dong, you should know very well that you only have a chance to deal with me if you see me in person, if you don’t even have a chance to see me, what’s the point of talking about dealing with it?”
Owen Dong’s hand rubbing his cane stopped and a ghastly old face grimaced.
Christine White could even feel the air pressure around her go down.
Until a good while later, Owen Dong suddenly laughed out loud, “It’s true that the waves of the Yangtze River push forward the waves of the future, The Lane Family boy, you win, okay, I’ll give her a set of clothes, but I want you to come here within an hour.”
When he finished, he hung up the phone and once again lifted Christine White’s head with his cane, “Girl, you’ve got a good man.”
“What did you tell Baird?” Christine White asked with fluttering eyelashes.
