Is he teasing me

Chapter 404 The Thin Line of Life and Death

Although Zhang Moyan was mentally prepared, her heart still stopped when she saw Xiao Xingyu coming over with the box. She didn't dare to think about whether the elders in her family knew that Xiao Xingyu had taken out three pieces of porcelain.

Xiao Xingyu had just met up with Zhang Moyan when Jin Xueyang called. He expressed strong dissatisfaction with the appearance of Xiao Wa and Zhang Moyan on the phone. After scolding Xiao Xingyu, he asked Zhang Moyan to answer the phone.

"Now I want you to take the cell phones of Xiao Xingyu and his little brother, and then tie them to the chairs with the ropes on the ground. Make sure to tie them tightly!"

Zhang Moyan was about to burst into a curse when she heard this. She looked up and searched around: "Jin Xueyang, you can see us. You are nearby, right? Come out. What are you afraid of hiding in the dark?"

Jin Xueyang raised his voice: "Do as I say!" Then the voice of the little aunt came from the receiver: "Wow, Mo Yan, don't tie up Xingyu, I'm not afraid..."

Zhang Moyan felt that Jin Xueyang had lost his humanity. All the creepy kidnappers in her childhood memories suddenly materialized into Jin Xueyang's face.

No matter what, we can only do as Jin Xueyang asked. Zhang Moyan took Xiao Xingyu and Xiaowa’s cell phones and tied them up.

She didn't pay attention when she first came, but now she found that there were a lot of finger-thick hemp ropes scattered on the ground. She suspected that Jin Xueyang had planned it long ago. Now she didn't know whether she should be glad that she came with him, because it was she who tied up Xiao Xingyu instead of Jin Xueyang.

Xiao Xingyu cooperated and surrendered, until his hands were tied behind his back and the ropes hurt. He gradually realized something was wrong. He looked at Xiao Wa, whose hands and feet were tied up and unable to move, and said, "Mo Yan, just pretend. How can I move when you tie it so tightly?"

Zhang Moyan finished tying the knot in her hand, stood up, and looked at him calmly: "Jin Xueyang is very careful in his work. He shouldn't take risks alone. You should be fine as long as you behave. Let me face him."

"What are you facing?" Xiao Xingyu exploded in disbelief, "Quickly let go of me, that bastard is no longer a human being now, you know that? You can't use common sense to judge this kind of pervert..."

Zhang Moyan ignored Xiao Xingyu's roar, turned her back and dialed Jin Xueyang's number. This was the first time she called him after knowing Jin Xueyang's identity.

"I have tied up Xiao Xingyu and Xiao Wa as you requested. Xiao Guotao's azure porcelain is also here. I want to see Xiao Maner now!"

"I saw it. Wait a minute, Mo Yan, I have never met any request you made."

Jin Xueyang pretended to be affectionate, but Zhang Moyan just felt disgusted when she heard his words.

Sure enough, not long after, three people walked in through the rusty gate that was illuminated golden by the dusk. One of them was carrying a child in his hand like a rabbit.

The leader was naturally Jin Xueyang. The two people behind him, one with long hair and the other with short hair, Zhang Moyan found that it was not the first time she had seen them! In the summer, Zhou Xia and Geng Jun had entertained them in an expensive restaurant. During that time, she took her little aunt to the bathroom and ran into Jin Xueyang and four men on the way. The two who came now were two of the four people.

In fact, she should have suspected Jin Xueyang that time. With Jin Xueyang's usual consumption level, how could he appear in such a high-end place? But it was too late to say that now.

"I've brought the people with me, what do you think? I'll keep my word!" Jin Xueyang took all three mobile phones from Zhang Moyan's hands, waved his hand, and the two men behind him threw the little aunt to Zhang Moyan.

"Little aunt!" Zhang Moyan caught the child. Xiao Man'er's hair was disheveled, her eyes were red and swollen, and her mouth was stuffed with a ball of cloth. Zhang Moyan immediately removed the ball of cloth from her, and the child burst into tears: "Moyan, why did you listen to them and tie up Xingyu?"

Zhang Moyan pursed her lips and tried to untie the little aunt's bound hands and feet, only to find that she was tied up with steel bars. The hard steel bars were twisted into a knot with unknown force and could not be pried apart with bare hands.

Xiao Wa started cursing Jin Xueyang's ancestors. Zhang Moyan looked up and was horrified to see that the people brought by Jin Xueyang were using pliers and steel bars to reinforce the bondage of Xiao Xingyu and Xiao Wa.

Moving his eyes a little further, Jin Xueyang took out three pieces of porcelain and placed them in a row, appreciating them calmly and confidently.

Zhang Moyan really wanted to strangle him to death.

"Xueyang, we got what you want, let's go quickly!" Now is not the time to anger Jin Xueyang, the most important thing is to keep everyone safe.

Jin Xueyang turned a deaf ear to him and continued turning the item in his hand: "What's so good about this celadon porcelain? So many people have racked their brains to pursue it, but I think it's nothing special!"

Compared to Xiao Wa's foul language, Xiao Xingyu seemed very quiet. He leaned back in his chair and taunted, "Not only do you have a low taste for beauty, you also blame things! Do you understand?"

Jin Xueyang's face turned pale, then he smiled: "My aesthetic taste is probably similar to yours, handsome Xiao. Otherwise, how come we both like the same woman?"

Xiao Xingyu felt extremely bored: "What's the big deal? Even a fool would think a beautiful diamond is beautiful."

"You..." Jin Xueyang stared in anger.

"Alright, stop talking!" Zhang Moyan really couldn't understand why they were bickering at this time. "Jin Xueyang, neither Xingyu nor we called the police. Since you've already got the things, just leave! When the sun goes down, if the family can't find Xiao Maner, they will definitely call the police!"

Jin Xueyang turned around and said, "Mo Yan, are you concerned about me? Are you worried that I'll be caught by the police? Aren't you afraid that Xiao Xingyu will be sad by saying this? What I want to take away is the most precious treasure of their Xiao family, it's priceless!"

Zhang Moyan said impatiently: "Didn't he bring it here for you to take away? ... Whatever you think, I just want everyone to be safe. It will be better for both of us if you leave now!"

Jin Xueyang looked at her straight, and suddenly asked, "What if I want to take you with me?"

Zhang Moyan's eyebrows sank. Sure enough, Jin Xueyang still had a problem with her: "What do you mean?"

Xiao Xingyu had already cursed: "Dream on!"

Jin Xueyang walked closer to Zhang Moyan step by step, touched a strand of Zhang Moyan's hair provocatively, looked at Xiao Xingyu and said, "I want you to break up with Xiao Xingyu immediately and stay with me from now on. If you can do that, we will leave right away."

Zhang Moyan said without hesitation: "Okay."

Xiao Xingyu was shocked: "Mo Yan, what did you say?"

Jin Xueyang fell silent for a while, but he didn't believe it: "It's too fake to be so straightforward. Aren't you two very close?"

Zhang Moyan gave a bitter smile: "Xiao Xingyu and I are not the only two people in this world. My grandfather killed someone in Xiao Sheng, and he and his wife also died there. If you were a member of the Xiao family, how would you view me?"

Xiao Xingyu knew that something was wrong with his wife these days. It turned out that she was thinking about these things. He immediately corrected her: "Mo Yan, what are you thinking about? Our family will not tolerate you because of these things. If you can't get over this hurdle, then I will tear down the museum and rebuild it this year. Don't have any grudges!"

"How touching!" Jin Xueyang clapped his hands and sighed in the shadow of the setting sun shining through the window, "It's a pity it's too late."

Zhang Moyan had a bad feeling: "What's too late?"

The next second, "Jin Xueyang, what are you doing?!" Zhang Moyan's voice trembled.

Before he finished speaking, Jin Xueyang smashed the celadon porcelain in his hand to the ground with a bang!

Xiao Wa went crazy: "Fuck your mother, you bastard!"

The two accomplices who came with Jin Xueyang were also stunned. They stood up and ran towards Jin Xueyang. Jin Xueyang immediately grabbed a porcelain piece in each hand, and the two accomplices dared not move forward.

"Jin Xueyang, put it down. Let's talk it over." The long-haired accomplice spoke in unstandard Chinese.

It's the Japs again.

Zhang Moyan felt her temples throbbing, and lowered her voice to persuade Jin Xueyang: "Xueyang, you can't ruin other people's life's work, please turn back! I won't take the mistakes of the past to heart, as long as you turn back we can start over, don't make the same mistake over and over again, don't do this."

"Start over? Don't do this?" Jin Xueyang looked at everyone with a twisted look, "The azure porcelain is just a dead object, can't I destroy it? You are so nervous about a dead object being destroyed, who should I ask for the blame if I am destroyed?!"

Zhang Moyan had never seen Jin Xueyang so crazy before. She was sensitive to things that were not as simple as they seemed: "Xueyang, did something happen to you?"

Jin Xueyang was stunned for a moment, then sneered and pointed at the two people he brought with him with hatred: "Do you think I don't know the situation? My mother passed away last night! As soon as Tanaka Takashi died, you threw my mother in the hospital and refused to treat her. The doctor disappeared and the medicine was stopped! If I didn't tell you that I could get Xiao Guotao's azure porcelain, would you still come to see me?! You still want to deceive me, right? Doesn't your research institute want azure porcelain? Okay, I'll give it to you!"

Before anyone could react, he threw two pieces of porcelain onto the ground, one in each hand, as if to vent his anger!!!

Everyone was stunned in the smoke and dust stirred up by the bouncing of the broken porcelain pieces. Jin Xueyang saw everyone's unprepared expressions and seemed to gain great pleasure, laughing wildly: "Hahahahahahahahaha..."

"Bagayalu!" Two Japanese devils rushed over, grabbed Jin Xueyang and pressed him to the ground. One of them punched Jin Xueyang dozens of times with both hands, cursing and spitting out incomprehensible bird language. The other one kicked Jin Xueyang hard, causing Jin Xueyang to spit blood and curl up on the ground.

Even though Jin Xueyang was beaten like a dying dog, Zhang Moyan could not feel the slightest pity for him at this moment.

"Jin Xueyang," Xiao Xingyu sneered, "Are you not very good at history? Didn't your junior high school teacher teach you that the Japanese devils only use traitors."

"Xiao Xingyu... shut up!" Jin Xueyang stared at Xiao Xingyu with bloodshot eyes.

At this time, the two Japanese who were beating him suddenly stopped and turned to look at Xiao Xingyu, who was calm and composed. The one with long hair stood up and walked towards Xiao Xingyu. He looked at him carefully and asked him in broken Chinese, "Why are you so relaxed? He broke the most precious thing in your family. Don't you feel sorry at all?"

Xiao Xingyu said indifferently: "Didn't Mr. Jin say that just now? Porcelain is just dead things, not as valuable as human life. Besides, you guys broke it, what else can I do?"

After hearing what Xiao Xingyu said, the two Japanese became even more suspicious. The long-haired Japanese tied up Jin Xueyang and Zhang Moyan, who were as soft as mud. Zhang Moyan fought desperately with her mediocre kung fu, but to no avail.

The short-haired Japanese soldier came over and circled in front of Xiao Xingyu three times. "Tell me quickly, are the three pieces of porcelain you brought fake?!"

Xiao Xingyu said jokingly, "Why are you so naive? Of course it's real! How could I take the risk of bringing fakes when human lives are at stake! If you can tell it's a fake, then my great aunt will be dead. ... Oh, don't tell me you can't tell? ... But it's okay if you can't tell. You can go to my museum to check if there are still these three items there."

Xiao Xingyu spoke in such a rude manner, and immediately received several punches in the stomach.

Zhang Moyan shouted angrily: "Stop it, you bastards!"

The little aunt burst into tears when she saw Xiao Xingyu being beaten.

Xiao Wa, who had just cursed the Japanese for eighteen generations, now began to curse them for having no descendants.

The two angry Japanese devils beat Xiao Wa up, and after venting their anger, they came over to interrogate Xiao Xingyu unwillingly: "You can't be so relaxed about Xiao Guotao's celadon porcelain being destroyed, there must be something wrong!"

Xiao Wa said loudly: "What's so regrettable about this! The Xiao family has already mastered the key firing secret formula of the azure glaze, and will soon be able to mass-produce azure glaze porcelain. Let alone three, we won't feel bad if three hundred are broken in the future!"

Zhang Moyan was shocked by Xiao Wa's reckless words. Such words would only irritate the two Japanese. As expected, the next second, Xiao Xingyu was grabbed by the throat by the short-haired Japanese.

The short-haired Japanese soldier said to his accomplice happily: "Although the celadon porcelain was smashed, if we can bring back the secret recipe of celadon porcelain, we can make up for it."

The long-haired devil was greatly encouraged upon hearing this, and immediately asked Xiao Xingyu viciously: "The secret recipe of the azure glaze porcelain? What is it? Tell me now!"

Xiao Xingyu coughed: "How can I say anything if you're like this?"

The short-haired devil excitedly let go of him a little: "You admit it? You really have researched the secret recipe of azure glaze porcelain! Tell me now and I will spare your life!"

Xiao Xingyu was still nonchalant: "What are you talking about? I just said something to fool you, can you verify it right away? It will take at least two days to fire the kiln. By the time you verify it, I will have already enjoyed a good life!"

The long-haired devil said fiercely: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

Xiao Xingyu looked up to the sky and sighed: "In this situation now, I am ready to die. To be honest, even if you want to let me go, I don't want to live anymore!"

Two Japanese: “…”

Xiao Xingyu looked at the two of them: "Is this hard to understand? Look, I stole the three most precious pieces of celadon porcelain in my home, which was already a heinous crime. Mr. Jin also smashed them all. I am already an unforgivable sinner in my family. How can I face my family when I go back? And just now, you all heard it, right? My wife wants to break up with me and live with another man. Even if she changes her mind now, it's hard to mend the relationship. The cracks have already appeared and there's no going back to the past. What's the point of me living now?"

"Don't deliberately say these words to change the subject. Are you going to hand over the secret recipe of the azure porcelain or not?"

Xiao Xingyu was puzzled: "You are the ones who changed the subject. You were the ones who asked me if I wanted to die. What secret recipe for azure porcelain? Is there shit in your brains? How could I possibly tell you, oh..."

Xiao Xingyu was kicked to the ground along with the chair, and the two Japanese soldiers kicked him hard.

Xiao Xingyu continued to insult the other party, from their parents to the Japanese Emperor, which made the two Japanese devils so angry that they kicked harder and harder, even breaking the chair into pieces.

Seeing Xiao Xingyu's face covered in blood after being beaten, Zhang Moyan was almost going crazy and cried and begged him: "Xingyu... don't talk to them! Don't say it!"

The long-haired devil suddenly became suspicious and squatted in front of Zhang Moyan: "Do you know the secret recipe of azure glaze porcelain?"

"I don't know." Zhang Moyan moved sideways to block the little aunt who was crawling to her side. At this moment, she finally understood Chen Yun - if she told these irrational Japanese about the secret recipe of the little girl being buried alive in the kiln on the Wang family's plum vase, Xiao Maner would definitely die.

"She knows nothing!" Xiao Xingyu sneered, "She can't even recognize kaolin. In fact, I haven't even thought she is unqualified to be our daughter-in-law, but she dumped me first! I have really become a joke. I might as well die!"

Xiao Xingyu's words cut into Zhang Moyan's heart like a knife. She blinked hard to hold back her tears: "Can you please say less?"

Seeing that they were still making trouble, the two Japanese devils became angry. The long-haired devil grabbed Xiao Xingyu's collar and said, "Do you think I dare not kill you? I'll give you one more chance. Will you tell me the secret recipe of the azure porcelain? If you don't, I'll chop off one of your brother's hands!"

  As he said this, he raised his chin. The short-haired Japanese soldier immediately pulled out a bayonet from his boots and stabbed it into the back of Xiaowa's hand!

"Fuck your mother!" Xiao Wa screamed through gritted teeth, "How dare the damn Japanese mess with your grandfather! Brother Yu, don't tell them anything, let them worry to death, I don't believe they dare to kill people on Chinese territory!"

Xiao Xingyu looked at the scene in front of him, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he panted, "You guys can just kill me. If you don't kill me and fall into my hands in the future, I won't be as cowardly as you. I will definitely tie you up and beat you up, and then throw you into the river next to you, so that you will slowly die without a burial place!"

When Xiao Xingyu said these words, he changed his cynical look and said it seriously, as if he was cursing. Seeing this, the Japanese soldier holding him felt his adrenaline surge rapidly: "You want to die, right? And you want to throw us into the river? Okay, I'll grant you your wish. I'll let you taste the feeling of being thrown into the river first!"

As they spoke, the two Japanese soldiers lifted up Xiao Xingyu. Xiao Xingyu struggled hard, but his hands and feet were tied and he couldn't get free.

"What are you doing?! Let him go! You can't kill people!" Zhang Moyan screamed in horror. She was terrified and crawled forward with all her might, but her hands and feet were also tied up with steel wire, so she could only crawl and twist like a caterpillar.

"You bastards, let Brother Yu go!" Xiao Wa cried and shouted.

"No! Where are you taking Xingyu?!" The little aunt cried loudly.

……

However, the two gangsters turned a deaf ear to him and carried Xiao Xingyu out of the door with murderous eyes.

Not long after, a "plop" sound of a huge object falling into the water was heard in the distance. All the blood in Zhang Moyan's body froze, he shivered with cold from the bones, and his brain went blank.

As night fell, the tar-like darkness enveloped the deadly silent ruined factory.

The little aunt cried herself tired and fell asleep, still calling Xiao Xingyu in her dream.

Zhang Moyan sat there like she had lost her soul. Everything was out of control. She hated herself for tying Xiao Xingyu's hands and feet. Xiao Xingyu had reminded her not to use common sense to infer Jin Xueyang, but she didn't listen. She was so stupid! If Xiao Xingyu's hands and feet were not tied, these two Japanese would not be his opponents at all.

Jin Xueyang collapsed on the ground, staring at Zhang Moyan motionlessly.

The kidnappers at the warehouse called Xiao Guotao and offered 2000 million to redeem the little aunt. They first asked the Xiao family to put 100 million cash in a trash can in a shopping mall.

The two desperadoes who lost their celadon porcelain and killed someone finally calmed down. Now they just wanted to extort some money and run away.

As for the remaining hostages... Zhang Moyan felt that there was a high possibility that they would be killed in the end.

Let her die. She doesn’t want to live now anyway.

Zhang Moyan, who had cried until she had no more tears and was in despair, crawled to the broken celadon porcelain and touched a sharp piece of porcelain on the ground with her turned back hand.

"Sister-in-law, don't do that!" Xiaowa, who had been staring at Zhang Moyan, shouted in a low voice, "Don't do anything stupid!"

"I'm sorry for Xing Yu, I killed him," Zhang Moyan burst into tears, feeling grief-stricken, "I don't want him to be so lonely on the road alone..."

Xiao Wa turned towards her anxiously: "No, no! Brother Yu won't die, don't let your death be in vain!"

Zhang Moyan stopped crying immediately: "What did you say?"

Xiao Wa whispered to Zhang Moyan, "Brother Yu and I were deliberately provoking them. Do you think Brother Yu's exploration of the 'Magic Rock' in recent years is really a second venture? Brother Yu can swim to shore once he gets into the water!"

Zhang Moyan's heart seemed to have recovered from its stiffness and beat: "But... his hands and feet are tied..."

"It's okay," Xiao Wa gestured, "Do you know how to swim? Brother Yu has practiced with us, and it's specially designed for situations like this."

Zhang Moyan was skeptical: "Swimming across...really?"

"Really! Our country's special forces all have to train this, it's not surprising!" Xiao Wa said firmly, "Brother Yu will definitely come to save us!"

The two Japanese soldiers hung up the phone. The long-haired soldier looked at his watch and said in Japanese: "You stay here and watch them. I'm going to get 100 million first to see the sincerity of the Xiao family. If I don't come back in an hour, you get rid of them and leave here quickly!"

The short-haired Japanese soldier agreed, patted his accomplice on the shoulder and said a few words.

The long-haired Japanese soldier nodded, picked up the box that Xiao Xingyu brought to the ground and turned around. At this time, several spotlights flashed across the sky outside the window. The two Japanese soldiers immediately changed color and ran back to take hostages. A row of glass windows shattered, and seven or eight black-clad special police officers armed with live ammunition broke in through the windows and fell from the sky.

"Police! Don't move! Put your hands up and squat!"

The iron gate burst open and a large number of special police rushed in quickly. The dazzling light made it impossible for the people inside to open their eyes.

Zhang Moyan quickly searched the crowd and finally saw a special police officer supporting Xiao Xingyu among the crowd.
