Chapter 163 The Most Hardcore Hostage in History
The first episode of "Longmen Express" was so high-energy and hilarious that it caused a sensation across the internet, and countless colleagues and haters who were originally prepared to watch the show were thoroughly humiliated.
The number of online users on the platform did not decrease after the first episode ended; on the contrary, it skyrocketed exponentially!
"The first episode was too short! It wasn't enough! We need the second episode coming soon!"
"Lin Shen's delivery of those lines is absolutely brilliant! Let's see how these idiots clean up this mess!"
Amidst a deluge of barrage comments, the second episode was seamlessly released!
The scene shifts to the woodshed of the Longmen Escort Agency.
After being released, the creditor, Manager Nian, sat upright, exuding a strong aura. Lu Sanjin, with a forced smile, sincerely apologized, hoping Manager Nian would offer some terms to settle the matter peacefully.
However, Manager Nian sat arrogantly, refusing to budge an inch, and directly demanded three thousand taels, declaring defiantly, "Not a single coin less!"
Upon hearing this, the members of the escort agency reacted in various ways: Lü Qingcheng rolled her eyes and retorted, "Give my regards to your attending physician," Qiu Yingluo curled her lip and said, "I don't believe your nonsense," while the money-loving Cai Badou's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in a low voice, shocked and overjoyed, "My goodness, we're going to strike it rich!"
No matter how much the others tried to persuade him, Manager Nian stubbornly continued to roar and threaten, "Go ahead and lock me up for life! For life! For life!"
"Hahaha! They've turned the tables! They were clearly kidnapped, but they're now trying to extort three thousand taels of silver from us!"
When the hard approach didn't work, they decided to try a softer one.
Uncle Gong lowered his voice and plotted, planning to lure Manager Nian out of the house first, and then immediately close the door as soon as he stepped out, so that he would have no evidence to sue the authorities.
The crowd quickly untied the ropes. After breaking free, Manager Nian pointed at them and cursed, "You scoundrels! You bandits! You shameless scum!" He still wouldn't leave.
Lü Qingcheng casually opened the woodshed door: "The door's right there, take it or leave it!"
The next day, the group embarked on their ultimate temptation plan—setting up a grill outside the woodshed, the sizzling oil filling the air with the aroma of roasted chicken. Several people frantically fanned the aroma towards the woodshed door. Cai Badou, drooling with envy, exclaimed, "This is too much!"
Just as Uncle Gong and the others were poised to make their move and were about to close the door as soon as Manager Nian stepped out, the door to the woodshed opened.
Manager Nian stood inside the doorway, leaning against the frame, calmly observing the crowd with unwavering confidence: "I told you, I won't leave without the money. Do you think I'm joking? Whatever, let's see who outlasts whom!"
"Haha, this intellectual tug-of-war! The food temptations were all for naught!"
Shopkeeper Nian: You little punk, I've seen more of the world than you've ever walked. Trying to trick me?
"Fighting the escort agency to the bitter end! This manager is just too adorable!"
Seeing that all his schemes had failed, Cai Badou hurriedly ran to Lu Sanjin, the head of the household, for help.
Lu Sanjin casually said, "He can have whatever he wants." Upon hearing that he would be given three thousand taels of silver, Cai Badou broke down on the spot.
Lu Sanjin then launched into an extremely serious and calm legal education, stating directly that "kidnapping is a serious crime, Qiuyue is the principal offender and will not escape death, he himself will be sent to the army, and the others are all accomplices."
Faced with Cai Badou's wishful thinking of "confessing right away," Lu Sanjin added seriously, "Just keep hitting him. How will he know if you're telling the truth?"
Then, Lu Sanjin vividly described the tortures in court, from spanking to "flipping over after the spanking," causing the eavesdroppers to instinctively cover their buttocks.
When talking about foot-scratching, Lu Sanjin described it with a deadpan expression: "One slap, one tickle, the feeling is both painful and itchy, like a gentle breeze, every pore radiates confidence. The pain comes from the soles of the feet, the itchiness comes from within. You can't help but shout—'My God!'"
Cai Badou's voice trembled with fear as he exclaimed, "Those two blows would have made him crawl out of the TV! What are we going to do if he dies during the next day's punishment?!"
Lu Sanjin then suddenly dropped his trump card: After killing him, leave your fingerprints so your family can claim the body. Just imagine how heartbroken your mother will be!
This incredibly powerful dialogue and threatening description completely blew the minds of viewers across the internet:
"Hahaha! 'Every pore radiates confidence'—what an amazing description!"
"Crawling out of the TV?! Lin Shen's lines are truly wildly imaginative!"
"The detail of those people outside instinctively pulling their legs back and covering their butts was hilarious! It made my stomach cramp from laughing so hard!"
However, just when the audience thought it was another pure comedy farce, the plot took an extreme and high-energy turn!
Manager Nian, abandoning his previous arrogant and domineering demeanor, looked at Sheng Qiuyue with a serious expression: "There are some things I need to make clear to you, you spendthrift woman, today!"
Faced with Sheng Qiuyue's stubborn refusal to listen, Manager Nian forcefully revealed the cruel truth of what happened back then—Sheng Qiuyue had embezzled the escort deposit to buy a jade hairpin, which led to the escort agency having no money to compensate after the accident, forcing Lao Tong to the brink of despair, and causing the Longmen Escort Agency to decline as a result!
Sheng Qiuyue froze instantly, speechless. She choked back tears as she accused Manager Nian of being heartless for not burning incense at Old Tong's funeral hall but instead coming to collect debts.
The shopkeeper faced the situation calmly, his words piercingly direct: "Business is business, and relationships are relationships. Does talking about relationships mean you don't have to pay back the money? I have dozens of employees and their families relying on me for food!"
He sighed and finally revealed the truth: the debt collectors he had hired were not experts; they were just trying to save the escort agency's livelihood. He had advised Lu Sanjin to fire her so that she could take her child back to her parents' home and live a peaceful life.
"Every time Lao Tong went out on a delivery mission, he would come to my house to entrust her with his care, saying, 'Brother, if something happens to me on this trip, I'm counting on you for Qiu Yue.'" Shopkeeper Nian spoke with the melancholy of an old friend, recounting Lao Tong's words before his last delivery mission. "He said that after finishing this mission and earning some money, he would buy Qiu Yue that jade hairpin. He smiled so happily when he said that. I promised him that I would take good care of you."
The shopkeeper looked at her, his voice heavy with sorrow: "But you've really gone too far! Before, Old Tong protected you; if the sky fell, someone would hold it up for you. Now that he's gone, no one will indulge you anymore! How many times has Lu Sanjin advised you to follow the rules and not be impulsive? Did you listen to a single word?"
Sheng Qiuyue bit her lip hard, her shoulders trembling violently, and tears finally fell to the ground. All her arrogance and stubbornness vanished in that moment, and she lowered her head, choking back sobs as she admitted, "Brother Nian... I was wrong."
Lu Sanjin, Bai Jingqi, and others stood by quietly, their expressions complex, and the entire room was solemn.
Manager Nian turned to look at Lu Sanjin, resuming his serious, businesslike demeanor: "Young Master Lu, bring your men to Wanyong Trading Company first thing tomorrow morning to collect the order. I will not pay a single penny for this first order."
Then he called Cai Badou to come back with him to get the jade hairpin. Faced with Cai Badou's hesitation, Manager Nian arrogantly said, "It doesn't matter if you come or not. Let's see who outlasts whom."
After the second episode aired, viewers across the internet were deeply shocked by this amazing plot that was both funny and touching, with a hardcore twist!
"Holy crap... I was laughing so hard at the beginning, but then the ending brought tears to my eyes!"
"The character of Manager Nian is so well-developed! He's not a bad person, but a truly flesh-and-blood, loyal and compassionate elder!"
"‘You used to have Lao Tong protecting you, but now nobody spoils you anymore’... those words kill me!"
"The nonsensical humor is imbued with profound humanity and a warm sense of community! Lin Shen's screenwriting skills and dramatic acting are simply amazing!!"
On major social media platforms, the second episode of "Longmen Express" instantly became a hot topic, and the ratings and online viewership of the first two episodes broke multiple historical records with overwhelming force! The industry was completely overwhelmed, and the entire internet was in a frenzy!
