    Chapter 49

    When Qi Feiluan regained consciousness again, the remaining impression of his body made him reflexively open his eyes and want to attack, but then he found that he was tightly tied to an iron chair.The person who tied him was obviously very professional. His hands and feet were handcuffed to the legs and armrests of the iron chair respectively, and his body was also tied with thick hemp ropes.

    “Are you awake?”

    The speaker was none other than Grantham.

    The first thing Qi Feiluan saw when he opened his eyes was him. Grantham was sitting in a wheelchair, just a few steps in front of him. Next to Grantham stood Mu Hean, who looked extremely ugly.

    Behind Grantham and Mu He’an, stood a group of heavily armed people.

    Obviously the mastermind of this sudden kidnapping was Grantham, and he had no intention of covering up anything.

    Qi Feiluan was very confused. Didn’t Grantham test him before?And his physical condition does not look good. Grantham is sitting in a wheelchair, his face is pale, his cheeks are sunken, his expression is gloomy, and he looks like a vampire.

    After all this, why was Grantham still distracted to kidnap him?

    After Grantham spoke, Qi Feiluan didn’t respond. Instead, Mu He’an said in disbelief: “What are you doing? Did you call me here just to watch you kidnap people?”

    Grantham, who was sitting in a wheelchair, did not turn to look at Mu He’an. Instead, he motioned to his men to hand the phone to Qi Feiluan, and continued to Qi Feiluan: “I did not block the signal. Send a distress message to Ji Xingyuan and ask him to save you.”

    Qi Feiluan took the phone with one hand but made no move. He originally wanted to send a distress message to Ji Xingyuan. Although his hands and feet were cuffed, his neck and left leg were prosthetic limbs connected to nerves. He could turn on the locator inside the prosthetic limb and send an emergency message to Ji Xingyuan.

    But when Grantham asked him to send a distress message, he became suspicious.

    Mu Hean, who was standing behind Grantham, was even more confused than Qi Feiluan. He got ahead of Qi Feiluan and asked directly: “What exactly do you want to do? Kidnap Qi Feiluan and ask Diao Ji Xingyuan to rescue him? Then why did you ask me to come, to be your audience?”

    Grantham turned to look at Mu He’an at this time. His dark green eyes had lost their previous brilliance, and looked more like madness at the end of the road.

    “Audience?” Grantham suddenly smiled and said, “You can say that.”

    “Honey, I’m helping to pave the way for you.”

    The expression on Mu Hean’s face froze, and then he heard Grantham say: “You are about to get what you want, but you are still too naive to think that Ji Xingyuan can let you get what you want. In fact, as long as he is around, it will be difficult for you to get my inheritance. So, I will help you kill Ji Xingyuan, so that the two major groups will fall into chaos at the same time, and you will have time to completely take over the group.”

    “What…are you talking about?”

    Mu Hean quickly covered up his momentary gaffe.

    Grantham suddenly raised the gun in his hand and pointed it at Mu Hean’s heart, but there was some tenderness in his tone: “It’s almost the last moment, do you still want to pretend?”

    The expression on Mu Hean’s face disappeared. He stood there with the gun pointed at him and said, “Did you notice it?”

    “How could I not notice it?”

    Qi Feiluan watched the farce happening in front of him. He took advantage of Grantham’s distraction and turned on the locator on his neck. At the same time, he sent a distress signal to the previous mercenary team.

    When he separated from the mercenary team in December, the captain told Qi Feiluan that they would come to the country to do a mission.

    Qi Feiluan didn’t know exactly where they were in the country or whether they could arrive, but in the current unclear situation, more of them would be an extra layer of protection.

    While sending a distress signal, Qi Feiluan was also observing the surrounding environment, constantly thinking about how he could escape.

    He was now in what looked like an abandoned dock, surrounded by shipping containers, and he could hear the crashing waves.

    Qi Feiluan glanced behind him calmly.

    There is a layer of misty clouds in the night sky tonight, blocking the starlight. At this moment, the moon has disappeared to the west.

    It was too dark and he couldn’t see anything clearly, but the sound of the waves came from behind him, very close to him. There was no other person standing behind him, so he suspected that the sea was behind him.

    ocean?The capital is not located near the sea.

    Qi Feiluan could not determine his specific location, but looking at the still dark sky and his physical condition, this proved that he had not lost consciousness for a long time, and the distance from the capital was not too far. This was good news.

    While observing the attention of Grantham and the heavily armed men behind him, Qi Feiluan controlled the prosthetic leg on his left leg to silently eject the blade, trying to cut the rope that bound him.

    Mu He’an said expressionlessly: “Since you noticed it, why didn’t you shoot? I have already thought about the outcome of failure. Since I failed, then I accept my fate. As long as you shoot now and throw my body into the sea, I will completely disappear from this world, and the Mu family will not pursue my life or death at all.”

    “How could I shoot my Omega?” Grantham stared at Mu He’an, as if he wanted to see something on his face. Finally, he gave up and suddenly turned the gun towards Qi Feiluan, “Don’t waste your efforts. Send a message to Ji Xingyuan, otherwise I will shoot now.”

    Qi Feiluan paused while cutting the rope with a blade. In the current situation, due to the gun in Grantham’s hand, he could only unlock the phone with one hand and sent a distress message to Ji Xingyuan.

    After sending it, Grantham motioned to his men to go over and give him Qi Feiluan’s cell phone. After he looked at it, he handed it to his men. The men walked up to Qi Feiluan and threw it hard.

    The phone drew a parabola in mid-air and disappeared into the night.

    “He didn’t come to the last wedding. Let’s see if he will come this time.”

    Immediately afterwards, Grantham said to Mu He’an: “I have arranged a viewing seat for you. Don’t worry, no matter what the result is today, you will get what you want. After all, you are my Omega.”

    Grantham’s men said to Mu He’an: “Please come with us.”

    Mu Hean did not struggle in vain and followed the men.

    He turned his back to Grantham and Qi Feiluan, and left the deserted pier step by step. In the cold winter in the north, the strong wind from the sea howled and beat on his body, making his steps away filled with emptiness and staggering.

    Mu Hean didn’t know why, but all he could think of was the way Grantham looked at him for the last time.

    Those green eyes that had lost their former luster seemed to have changed from precious emeralds to fragments of beer bottles, which fit perfectly with this dock full of scrap metal.

    When Grantham found out that he had attacked him, Mu Hean was already prepared. He was betting that if he won, he could swallow up Grantham’s entire group and never be at the mercy of anyone again.If he loses the bet, he might become an unknown corpse and completely disappear from this world.

    Now that he is not killed, it is a good ending, but…

    Mu Hean was a little confused.

    His Omega?

    That last sentence was like some sort of spell Grantham had cast upon him.

    Qi Feiluan had been trapped nearby. When the two of them were talking and their attention was not on him, Qi Feiluan received a signal from the mercenary team, which showed that they were not far from here and could arrive.

    In this case, Qi Feiluan has another trump card.

    Since Grantham’s purpose was unclear, Qi Feiluan didn’t really expect Ji Xingyuan to come and save him.

    After Mu Hean left, Qi Feiluan seized the opportunity and said, “I thought you already knew it after last time, why did you kidnap me again this time?”

    Grantham raised his eyes and looked at Qi Feiluan, looking a little surprised: “You don’t know?”

    “Know what?”

    Grantham observed his expression carefully, and when he realized that he really didn’t know, he suddenly laughed and said: “At the Bai family dinner last time, after you were ridiculed by Zhao Shixuan for installing a left leg prosthesis, Ji Xingyuan showed his prosthetic left hand at the venue. In the eyes of others, he is personally supporting new technologies and new bills, and publicly attacking conservative views, but I know…”

    There was something strange in Grantham’s smile, and he said slowly: “He is just standing up for you.”

    “Whether it is a prosthetic limb or not is negotiable for people like us. We will support whoever offers a higher price and is more in line with our interests. A vague and neutral attitude is itself up for grabs. But he expressed his position so clearly and directly, which shows that he cares about you enough to not even tolerate you being laughed at because of your prosthetic limb. I didn’t expect you didn’t know about it.”

    After Qi Feiluan heard Grantham’s words, at that moment, the sound of the wind disappeared, the sound of the waves also disappeared, and there was silence between heaven and earth.

    He really didn’t know about it.

    He didn’t have many contacts with people in the upper class circles, and he didn’t attend other social dinners after returning from that banquet. Naturally, he had no way of knowing the hottest topics in the circle recently.

    No wonder Grantham knew about his prosthetic left leg. Originally, the details of a conflict at a banquet would not have reached the ears of Grantham, who was in poor health. It turned out to be because Ji Xingyuan showed off his prosthetic leg after he left.No wonder he was kidnapped by Grantham. Originally, Grantham was dubious about whether Ji Xingyuan cared about him, but he was immediately convinced after learning about it.

    Grantham continued: “Well, it’s not far from the capital. Judging from the distance, he should arrive soon. Come on, I’m looking forward to it.”

    After speaking, Grantham was pushed away from here by his men.

    The other men used the container as a bunker, apparently waiting for the arrival of Ji Xingyuan and his men.

    The period of waiting for Ji Xingyuan’s arrival was particularly difficult. Qi Feiluan originally slept in the room without much clothing, and after being tied to the iron chair for so long, his lips turned white from the cold.
