"Stop it!" shouted Lu Jingcheng, who was trapped next to him. "If you're still a man, come to me. What's the ability to beat a woman?!" the bearded pirate looked at Lu Jingcheng, stepped up to Lu Jingcheng, raised his foot and kicked it on his stomach. Lu Jingcheng curled up in pain.

"I don't want to kill you for your sake, but don't think I dare not kill you!" the beard said fiercely, turned and walked back to Xu Fei.

"You said your company would pay a ransom, right?"

Xu Fei shook her dizzy head and said weakly, "yes, but you have to let me contact them. At least let them know that we were kidnapped and they will prepare money."

"You promise not to play tricks on the phone?"

"We are all in your hands. Do you think I dare to play tricks?"

Beard stood up and began to pace back and forth.

This is not in his plan. His task is to scare these women who have no power to bind chickens, but the gold owner who hired him didn't say there was a man here, and the man also destroyed their speedboat so that they can't leave here. Now in this situation, he doesn't care about the arrangement of the gold owner. If he can make an unexpected fortune, why should he give up?

Beard waved to one of his men, and the pirate who checked the speedboat immediately trotted to him.

"When will the ship be repaired?"

"Brother, I'm afraid the ship can't be repaired. The engine is completely scrapped. Why don't we call the headquarters to pick us up?"

Beard slapped his men on the head and scolded, "what do you think? What if you encounter a warship? Do you want your brothers to fold here?"

"But we can't leave the island without a boat -"

Beard touched his chin, thought for a moment and said, "go get the satellite phone and let them call!"

The younger brother hesitated and said, "brother, what if they call the police? The Chinese marine police are very powerful now. Their ships are warships!"

"Less nonsense, just do what I say!"

Beard scolded. The little brother reluctantly ran back to the speedboat and took a satellite phone to beard.

"Little girl, I warn you, if you dare to play tricks, I promise you will regret!" big beard said fiercely, and then handed the phone to Xu Fei. "Tell your company that each of you five, I want you 10 million. The total is 50 million cash. You can't lose one point!"

Xu Fei took a deep breath and skillfully dialed a series of numbers after receiving the phone.

"Hello, is this star entertainment media? I'm Xu Fei. I'm in urgent need of 50 million cash. We're on an island in the South China Sea -"

Before Xu Fei finished, the phone was grabbed by beard. "Listen, they are in my hands now. If you want them to go back alive, take the money to redeem them. Don't play any tricks with me, or I will ensure their life safety!"

The other end of the phone was silent for a while before a deep man's voice came out, "the money is OK, and we won't call the police, but you must promise not to hurt them."

"Don't worry. Although we are pirates, we also understand your so-called Jianghu rules. As long as you send the money in time, I won't hurt them."

"That's the best. Tell me the coordinates and I'll arrange someone to send the money right away."

Beard repeated the coordinates twice and hung up.

Lu Jingcheng glanced at Xu Fei and nodded slightly.

"Woman, you are very sensible and smart, so I promise I won't hurt you until I receive the ransom," said beard with a sly smile.

The two trainee artists and reporters had long been scared silly. They couldn't say a word at all. They only knew that they were crying in a low voice.

Xu Fei calmed his mood and said calmly, "I believe you should have your own professional ethics, even pirates. If you kill hostages after receiving ransom, I believe you will never receive ransom from hostages again, won't you?"

Beard was stunned. What he actually planned to do in his heart was to rob the ransom givers of their money and boats when they arrived, and then kill them all before leaving. In this way, no one knew they had been here, and he could tell the money owner that he didn't do it himself.

But Xu Fei's words made him a little worried. It was really against the rules of pirates. If the people above him knew it, he might get into trouble.

"Woman, you'd better be honest and don't play tricks with me, otherwise my two disobedient men may do something to you charming little girls!"

Xu Fei trembled and looked at the two pirates again. His eyes changed.

After putting down the phone, Li Tianyu immediately pressed the pager on his desk, "Alan, come to my office quickly, right away!"

The moment he heard Xu Fei's voice, his heart hung up. How did she run to the island in the South China Sea? And I didn't even call myself. What's going on? At first, he received a call from Xu Fei and thought that Xu Fei was on that kind of mischievous reality show, but then he heard that Xu Fei's voice was filled with fear and uneasiness, and he was definitely not acting. Only then did he realize that something had really happened to Xu Fei.

Moreover, the man who spoke later obviously spoke Chinese with a foreign accent, and frankly admitted that he was a pirate, which made things big.

Just thinking of this, Allen pushed the door and entered, "brother, what's so urgent?"

"Feifei was kidnapped by pirates. We have to find a way to save her."

Alan was surprised. "Kidnapped by pirates? How could it be? When did pirates have the courage to commit crimes in the mainland?"

"It's not the mainland, it's an unknown island in the South China Sea." Li Tianyu pushed the small note with coordinates in front of Allen.

"Well... Miss Feifei went to the South China Sea to shoot?"

"Don't worry about these first. Go and gather some good players right away, and then contact your brothers in Hainan to find a boat. We'll fly there right away!"

"Big brother! If we fly, we can't bring guys. The other party is pirates. They have heavy weapons. Should we buy baseball bats locally to fight their AK47?"

"Let's talk about weapons. We won't discuss this now!" Li Tianyu stood up, picked up his briefcase and went out.

Alan shook his head and followed quickly.

"Brother, why don't we call the police? The marine police have a good way to deal with pirates now!"

Li Tianyu said without looking back: "they can't call the police. They are professional pirates, not ordinary criminals. If they call the police rashly, maybe their lives will be in danger!"

"They?" Alan was stunned. "Is there anyone else tied?"

Li Tianyu stopped and was silent. "If I guess right, there is Lu Jingcheng among the kidnapped people."
