    Chapter 72 Part 1

    The two of them slept until midnight when they suddenly woke up from being startled.

    The Moroccan police were cautious about their presence, so they had arranged for them to stay on the ground floor for easier management. Shan Ming and Shen Changze’s room faced the street. The place they were sleeping in wasn’t a formal guest room but rather a room used for spa treatments. The windows were large, and their long-developed vigilance immediately prompted them to open their eyes when they noticed someone suspicious approaching the window.

    The two of them quickly rolled to the sides and took out their handguns from their waists. Closely hugging the wall, they crawled towards the window. A hand emerged from the pitch-black outside, cautiously pushing against the window.

    That hand pushed the window slightly ajar and then retracted. A moment later, it grabbed something dark and hurled it through the gap into the room. Shan Ming caught the object, while Shen Changze swiftly seized the hand.

    The owner of that hand let out a loud cry and struggled desperately. It seemed like they were terrified real bad. The voice was high-pitched and tender, unmistakably that of a child.

    Shen Changze forcefully pushed open the window and pulled the person outside into the room. He then stepped on the person’s chest with one foot.

    Shan Ming quickly assessed the object in his hand. It felt light and didn’t seem like any kind of explosive. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and stood up, switching on the light.

    The three of them adjusted to the light and looked at each other. Indeed, on the floor was a Moroccan child, around eleven or twelve years old. He was very thin, dressed in tattered clothes, and had a terrified expression in his eyes. First, he spoke rapidly in Arabic, presumably pleading for mercy. Seeing that they didn’t seem to understand, he attempted to speak in French, but it was clear that he had not received much education and couldn’t express himself clearly.

    The group stared at the screen with intense fixation, their eyes burning with a desire to pierce through it.

    Jobb lay on the ground, his condition uncertain, while Pelle kept her head lowered. It was only when the person speaking tapped Pelle’s shoulder with a gun that she raised her head.

    Pelle appeared to be in a weakened state, but she didn’t seem to have any visible injuries. She even enunciated clearly, “What do you want me to say? I need antibiotics. If you don’t give me antibiotics, I won’t say anything.”

    “Say these sentences, and I’ll give you the medication.”

    Pelle’s voice grew stern, “Give it to me first. My friend’s in great danger.”

    The person pressed the barrel of the gun against Pelle’s temple, speaking with a malicious tone, “You don’t have the qualifications to negotiate terms.” Then he threw a piece of paper onto Pelle’s face and commanded, “Read it.”

    Pelle adjusted her head to face the camera, blinked her eyes, and pushed the disheveled hair on her forehead back. She lowered her head and glanced at the piece of paper.

    Everyone caught the momentary surprise on her face.

    Then she raised her head and spoke, “If you want these two individuals to stay alive, exchange them for Tang Tingzhi.” Although her pronunciation of the Chinese name was slightly off, everyone could clearly understand whom she was referring to.

    This group of criminals specifically targeted Tang Tingzhi.

    Tiger Shark said to Kali, “Call Tang over here.”

    Kali asked, “Which room is he in?”

    Ayer replied, “I know. I’ll go.” He turned around and left the room.

    The recording ended there, and the screen instantly went black.

    The group was stunned for a moment, then Shan Ming said to Shen Changze, “Bring over the package containing the disc.”

    Shen Changze walked over and retrieved the package. He carefully searched through it and indeed found a small piece of paper. On it, there was a series of numbers. He said, “Coordinates.” Then he handed the paper to Tiger Shark.

    Tiger Shark glanced at the paper, memorized it, and then meticulously tore the small piece of paper into shreds, as if tearing apart the skin of the abductor.

    After a short while, Tang Tingzhi entered the room following Ayer.

    Tiger Shark played the recording for Tang Tingzhi once again, and Tang Tingzhi watched it attentively. Afterward, he nodded and said, “Pelle is right. Jobb is in bad shape. His breathing is shallow, and his wound may be infected. If we don’t do something soon, he might not make it.”

    Ayer spoke sharply, “Who told you to look at that? They specifically asked for you!”

    “I heard that. I believe it’s done by Tang Jingzhi.”

    Ayer grabbed him by the collar. “I get pissed off whenever I see your deadpan expression. How the hell did you grow up? You have no emotions at all!”

    Tiger Shark pulled him away, saying, “Don’t waste time on pointless things.”

    Tang Tingzhi adjusted his collar and then answered earnestly, “I’m also very interested in this question. Normally, a person’s personality is largely determined by their innate genetics. However, all of my younger siblings have completely different personalities. I was raised by a group of people who were over the age of fifty or sixty. I’ve studied my own childhood, and I think it might be because…”

    Ayer was so infuriated that he wanted to punch him, “Shut the fuck up!”

    Tang Tingzhi shut his mouth and glanced at Tiger Shark.

    Tiger Shark pointed at the screen and asked, “Can you gather any information from this?”

    Tang Tingzhi shook his head and replied, “Not at the moment.”

    “We’re going to take you to the location indicated by the coordinates and exchange for these two people.”

    Tang Tingzhi nodded and said, “Okay”

    “Do you have any thoughts on this?”

    “No,” Tang Tingzhi said calmly, “Any one of you here could easily kill me if you wanted to. Besides, he wants to see me, and I have no reason not to go. I’m also searching for him.”

    “Do you know why he wants you?”

    Tang Tingzhi shook his head, “I don’t know. I never know what he’s thinking.”

    Tiger Shark said in a deep voice, “I don’t think anything good will come out of it, we’ll do our best to ensure your safety.”

    Tang Tingzhi nodded. “I still have many experiments to complete. I don’t want to die just yet.”

    Ayer snorted coldly. “I really don’t understand what’s the point of living for someone like you.”

    Tang Tingzhi glanced at him with his deep, piercing black eyes. “Mr. Mauri, with such a volatile temper, you might be calcium deficient. There is a species of bird in Morocco that is rich in nutrients. Grinding them up and cooking congee with it can alleviate your symptoms.”

    Ayer’s eyes widened, and he felt the urge to give him a few slaps across the face.

    Kali and Misfire turned their heads, suppressing their laughter. Ayer, who always regarded himself as a gentleman, was brutally defeated.

    Tiger Shark stood up. “Go notify everyone. We’re leaving immediately. Any further delay and Jobb will be in danger,” after he said that, he led the way out.

    Ayer glared at Tang Tingzhi and walked out of the room as well.
