Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire
Chapter 318: Reaching an Agreement
Jiang Cheng performed as usual, causing the kidnapper’s lackey to break down first.
The success of a patriotic education lesson made Brother Geng, the kidnapper, have his temples throb, turning his back to Jiang Cheng.
"Are you done with this toilet yet!"
"Toilet?.....Sorry, not yet."
A single sentence from Jiang Cheng almost made Brother Geng bite his tongue.
How has this woman lived so long!!
"Brother Geng——my ancestors never worked as traitors, if my dad found out, he’d break my legs!"
"Shut up! If you keep talking, I’ll break your legs!"
Beside them, the lackey sobbed and mumbled, "Anyway, I don’t care, I can’t help the foreign devils do bad things, I’m afraid my ancestors will come looking for me."
After he finished speaking, the lackey shoved the hunting gun into Brother Geng’s arms.
"Hmph!"
With a hum, the lackey ran off.
Geng Qiu, holding the gun, was tempted to shoot him, believing a woman’s nonsense.
"Brother Geng——"
"Oh shit!"
Jiang Cheng’s sudden call of Brother Geng almost scared Geng Qiu’s soul away.
"Do you walk without making a sound?"
Jiang Cheng didn’t answer immediately but after a moment of silence, said, "Perhaps all the ancestors buried here were moved by my words and are secretly helping me."
"I heard that in our northeastern region, the foreign devils killed quite a few people back then."
Jiang Cheng’s words made Geng Qiu feel a chill on his neck, instinctively clutching the hunting gun tightly.
"Ah———"
Jiang Cheng’s sudden shout startled Geng Qiu.
"Dear ancestors, I am ashamed before you!"
With a thud, Jiang Cheng knelt down, facing the unknown darkness, and began to thank the ancestors buried in the mountains.
Geng Qiu felt as if he was going to burst a blood vessel.
"Jiang Cheng——you’re my ancestor, I’m begging you, let’s go back and talk, okay!"
Still kneeling, Jiang Cheng said quite seriously, "Don’t interrupt me, haven’t you heard of sincerity bringing results!"
Geng Qiu: I don’t want it to be "results"!
Jiang Cheng was carried inside by Geng Qiu.
In the cave, Xiao Li and Sun Aiguo saw Jiang Cheng being carried in and instinctively stood up.
How dare they treat their boss like this!
"Brother Geng saw I couldn’t walk and insisted on carrying me for a while."
"Such a good person."
Xiao Li and Sun Aiguo sat back down.
Because they saw Geng Qiu’s dark expression, surely he was enraged by President Jiang.
After all, there was also a hoodwinked lackey who had returned and was crying, lamenting about letting down his ancestors.
The other five people in the cave could not understand the current situation at all.
Geng Qiu rubbed his already about to explode forehead, took a deep breath, and looked at Jiang Cheng.
"Shall we talk?"
Jiang Cheng nodded immediately, happily saying, "Sure, I love talking things out."
Sun Aiguo & Xiao Li: No worries now.
After President Jiang talks things out, these stupid kidnappers will be convinced.

While Jiang Cheng was negotiating cordially with the kidnappers, Shen Que in Beijing was getting anxious.
Jiang Cheng had called him before returning, and Shen Que knew Jiang Cheng’s approximate return time.
But Shen Que had waited an extra two hours, yet Jiang Cheng had not appeared.
Shen Que couldn’t sit still anymore.
He drove directly, with his team, following the route Jiang Cheng would return by to find her.
This search led to discovering the overturned sedan.
When Shen Que saw the crash scene, he was like King Yan incarnate, his presence so intimidating, as if anyone he gazed at would die.
"Boss..."
Gao Zhonghua was anxious too, but he was more afraid that Shen Que might lose his composure.
Shen Que, with a cold gaze, stared at the car.
"Investigate."
"Split into three groups: one goes back to Beijing, finds Director Leng, investigates discreetly, do not broadcast, meanwhile pay attention to activities in the food factories in G Province."
"Second group goes to S City, finds Director Lu, explains the situation and prepares for any sudden tactics."
"Third group, follow me, find people."
Shen Que rapidly issued orders and everyone sprang into action.
The other two teams left first, while Shen Que, with Gao Zhonghua and three others, looked for clues and began tracking.
As Shen Que followed the unabashed traces up the mountain, Jiang Cheng and Geng Qiu’s negotiation reached its concluding stages.
In the cave, Jiang Cheng promised, "I won’t call the police, and I’ll pay you more than the other party’s reward. As for Brother Geng’s younger brother, if you trust me, I can find the best doctors."
Across from her, Geng Qiu did not immediately agree.
The reason he agreed to someone else to kidnap Jiang Cheng, to make her disappear for a while, was mainly because the other party promised to send his sick brother abroad for treatment.
At this time, in the common perception, M Nation’s medical skills were the best.
Seeing Geng Qiu’s hesitation, Jiang Cheng spoke again, "Brother Geng, do you know who I am?"
"I’ve even met the major leaders in Beijing, do you think I can’t find the best doctor?"
"Or do you think I don’t have the ability to send a little boy abroad for medical treatment?"
Jiang Cheng’s words made Geng Qiu triple back in surprise, urgently asking Jiang Cheng, "You can send my brother abroad?"
"Going abroad, to me, is as easy as drinking water, in the past five years, I don’t even know how many times I’ve gone abroad."
"My connections abroad are equally extensive."
Jiang Cheng spoke confidently, even having the time to pull out a small folding booklet from her pocket.
"Look, this is a clippings album of my major achievements."
Geng Qiu stiffly took the palm-sized clippings booklet, puzzled, asking, "Why carry this?"
Jiang Cheng naturally replied, "It’s my accolade, of course, I carry it with me!"
"See, it’s useful now."
Geng Qiu’s lips moved, but no word came out.
This girl, she’s amazing, he genuinely didn’t understand.
After looking, Geng Qiu finally made up his mind.
"Alright, I agree with you!"
Jiang Cheng calmly extended her right hand, shaking hands with Geng Qiu.
"Pleasure working together."
The two parties reached a consensus and next was to eat, replenish strength, and prepare to descend the mountain.
Meanwhile, Jiang Cheng also learned it was indeed someone from G Province who contacted Geng Qiu.
As for what was behind it, Geng Qiu wasn’t very clear; the other party merely mentioned sending his brother to M Nation for treatment.
Upon hearing this condition, Jiang Cheng was basically certain it was Chase.
Chase evidently had investigated her.
Jiang Cheng was Chase’s next obstacle, so he had people kidnap her but didn’t dare harm her.
Because he knew if he really hurt Jiang Cheng, Hua Xia wouldn’t let her off.
He just needed to delay until the matter was done, then release Jiang Cheng; even if she returned, it wouldn’t help.
A good plan, just overlooked Jiang Cheng’s capability.
If it wasn’t Geng Qiu’s group today, but some bad guys, Jiang Cheng also had the ability to protect herself.
No matter what Chase did, Jiang Cheng had a way to deal with it.
After everyone in the cave restored their strength, they prepared to descend the mountain.
At the same time, Shen Que followed the unhidden traces up the mountain.
