"Three days ago?"
Shi Yunnan heard a hint of surprise between his brows when he heard this time of separation.
"Yes, three days ago." Ningde Antuo was determined to say it, so he didn't hide it deliberately.
"Although Yanchuan and I haven't seen each other in the past two years, we have always kept in touch on social media."
Before Ning Dean came to China, he tried to contact Luo Yanchuan and wanted to meet a long-lost friend.
However, Luo Yanchuan did not reply to him as usual this time.
Shi Yunnan replied, "Luo Yanchuan has been on the run for almost half a month. It's normal that you couldn't get in touch with him before."
Everyone is busy running, where can there be leisure and elegance to chat with old friends
Ning Dean nodded and continued to speak.
"Three days ago, I suddenly found that there was an unfamiliar email in my mailbox, so I opened it and read it. The sender said that he was Luo Yanchuan, and briefly recounted some details of our relationship before."
The person who received the email was Ning Dean's private mailbox, which only his friends around him knew, and the details listed in the letter were indeed difficult for others to know.
Ning Dean chose to reply after thinking it over and over again, and then received a second email confirming Luo Yanchuan's identity.
Shi Yunnan inserted a digression, "Does he know that you are talking about cooperation with me in China?"
"No, Luo Yanchuan was very anxious in the email, and he didn't give any time to reminisce. I didn't have time to say any doubts in my heart."
Ning Dean paused and looked at Shi Yunnan with a cautious look, "He just said that he encountered a little trouble in China, and I hope I can do him a favor."
Shi Yunan asked, "What are you busy with?"
Ning Dean said in a low voice, "He asked me to help him get an underground bank account in a foreign country, and he also said that he would transfer a huge amount of private property in a few days."
"Underground account? Huge private property?"
Shi Yunnan recalled the key point in this sentence, and the color of his eyes changed subtly.
Luo Lingsheng and he really guessed right, Luo Yanchuan just wanted to run away, and immediately thought of his former friend Ning Dean before running away.
It's just that the accounts of Luo's second room have not been frozen and checked? Where does Luo Yanchuan have private property for running
Ning Dean was afraid that Shi Yunnan would be wrong, so he took the initiative to explain, "Mr. Shi, you should have known that my father's family is in the mining business and handles a lot of assets every year."
Everyone's experience is different, and their views on things are naturally different.
In foreign countries, a small part of the mining business belongs to the gray area, and underground accounts are often required for temporary storage and handover of funds. Of course, compared with normal banks, it requires a high 'custody fee' to transfer accounts in such an underground bank.
"I understand what Mr. Ning means." Shi Yunan nodded slightly and asked again, "Mr. Ning promised him?"
Ning Dean nodded, "I'm sorry, because Luo Yanchuan has mentioned to me more than once that he was suppressed by the person in charge of their family... that is, your husband."
"I thought he wanted to transfer his private property and get out of the control of the Chinese family, so he came down."
"However, it is not that easy to open an account in an underground bank. The application three days ago..." Ning De'an roughly estimated the time, "It is estimated that it will not be successfully opened until tonight or tomorrow."
"Luo Yanchuan also said that he would use another email to contact me, but I haven't received his new email address yet."
After Shi Yunnan understood the general process of the matter, he remembered the advice given by Luo Lingsheng a few days ago - "Unless the other party has definite clues, otherwise you should not intervene."
"Mr. Ning, I wonder if you are willing to provide this clue to the police?"
"Of course I would."
Ning Dean answered as a matter of course, and added, "It's just that I haven't 'finished' Luo Yanchuan's request yet, so I might scare the snake by rushing to the police?"
"Wait until tomorrow. When I receive his new email again, I will report it to the police."
Shi Yunnan did not urge or veto Ning Dean's proposal, but agreed, "Of course, everything depends on Mr. Ning's own consideration."
As soon as the voice fell, a phone call came in.
Seeing the displayed family cornet, Shi Yunnan smiled unconsciously, and took the initiative to pour another cup of tea for Ning Dean, "Mr. Ning, I'm sorry, I want to answer my baby's phone first."
"Is that cute little boy?" Ning De'an responded and responded friendly, "Of course, Mr. Shi please."
Shi Yunnan got up and walked to the window, and answered the phone immediately, "Hello?"
"Uncle, are you busy?"
Xiao Jinyu's deliberately lowered breath came from the other end of the phone, causing Shi Yunnan's smile to rise again.
He slowed down and asked, "I'm not busy, why did you suddenly call me? Little goldfish, are you having fun?"
The little goldfish wears a children's smart watch that Luo Lingsheng bought for him, which can be used as half a mobile phone every day.
"Happy! Uncle, the teacher took us to the place where the candy man is today. I secretly spent money to buy three candy man, one for uncle, one for you, and one for me, okay?"
Shi Yunnan readily agreed, "Okay."
Xiao Jinyu got Shi Yunnan's answer, and then he told the truth softly, "Little uncle, then please don't be angry, don't criticize me when I get home, I just bought Little Candy Man and didn't spend any other money. "
The little goldfish has its own 'little treasury', but all the daily expenses will be faithfully sent to the elder Luo Lingsheng.
Even if Mr. Luo was rich again, Luo Lingsheng was very strict with the little goldfish's private consumption control, and never planned to let him get the temperament of a scoundrel of 'spending money like running water' since he was a child.
Shi Yunnan couldn't help laughing, only to realize that this little baby was afraid of being scolded for spending money, so he used roundabout tactics to ask him to help 'beg for mercy'.
"Uncle, are you alright?"
The coquettish voice is like cotton candy, soft and cute.
Shi Yunnan responded without thinking, "I see, I won't let my uncle scold you, are you coming back the day after tomorrow?"
"Well! Uncle, I miss you so much."
"My dear, I miss you very much too. I will take you home the day after tomorrow."
"good."
The little goldfish was probably afraid that he would be found and criticized by the teacher if he called for a long time. After solving the top priority of 'going home and being scolded', he happily hung up the phone.
Shi Yunnan returned to the tea table with a smile.
Seeing his expression, Ning Dean asked with a smile, "Mr. Shi, is that little boy your son?"
Shi Yunnan was stunned for a few seconds, and finally understood the incomprehension in Ning De'an's words, and explained with a chuckle, "It's my husband's little nephew. We are raising him now. Our husband treats him as his own son."
The little goldfish lost his parents not long after he was born. His heart has always been sensitive and delicate at a young age. When he dared to call Shi Yunnan 'Dad' in front of Ning Dean, he was actually afraid of losing his little uncle.
Shi Yunnan can understand the child's thoughts, so he hurts him especially.
"No wonder."
Ning De'an replied with a smile, he glanced at the time, "I am satisfied with this tea, thank Mr. Shi for his hospitality, I will leave first."
Shi Yunnan remembered something and asked, "Mr. Ning, are you going to Hangzhou now?"
Ning Dean understood the intention in his words, "If it's convenient, please help me change the sign to the day after tomorrow. I think... I'll go after the police report is resolved first."
Shi Yunnan smiled and responded decisively.
…
After Ning Dean left, Shi Yunnan concentrated on staying in the office for a new round of jade design.
It wasn't until five o'clock in the afternoon that he returned home step by step.
"came back?"
Luo Lingsheng's question came from the stairs.
Shi Yunnan raised his eyes and looked, "Well, after finishing the cooperation with Ning De'an, I stayed in the office for another afternoon to design, my eyes and shoulders are sore everywhere."
As soon as the two got close to each other, Luo Lingsheng took the initiative to hold his lover's hand, "Go back to the room after eating, and I will press it for you."
"good."
Shi Yunnan lowered his eyes and looked at the hands that the two held each other, and after only a few steps, he couldn't help but clasp his fingers tightly.
The butler guarding the restaurant was not surprised, smiled and ordered the servants to bring the prepared dinner dishes.
"I talked with Ning Dean about Luo Yanchuan today, guess what he said?" After Shi Yunnan sat down, he took the initiative to raise the topic.
"Ok?"
Luo Lingsheng asked with his eyes, and took the initiative to scoop a bowl of fish soup for his lover.
"Luo Yanchuan contacted Ning De'an and asked him to help obtain an underground account abroad, saying that he wanted to transfer a huge amount of domestic private property in the near future."
Shi Yunnan took a sip of the soup and said the doubts still in his heart, "Didn't the company under Erfang's subordinates be closed down? They still have savings in private?"
Luo Lingsheng frowned, "There shouldn't be much left."
"Luo Yanchuan shouldn't say this for no reason..." Shi Yunnan put down the spoon in his hand, feeling that something was wrong, "If he doesn't have money, where does he want to get it?"
The moment the words landed, Luo Lingsheng immediately lowered his voice, "Uncle Qin, where is Jin Yu?"
When the housekeeper Qin Bo heard this, his hands trembled with fright, "Patriarch, don't scare me, I saw the team leader post a video of the young master in the group after three o'clock in the afternoon."
Shi Yunnan, who also thought of this just now, breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, it was posted in the group, and the little goldfish called me at noon. Didn't you secretly send bodyguards to follow him?"
Luo Lingsheng took off his glasses and let them go without a trace of emotion, "It's fine, it's me who was worrying too much."
"After six o'clock, after the summer camp dinner time, shall we call the little goldfish?" Shi Yunan said.
Luo Lingsheng nodded, "Let's eat."
Without the little goldfish dinner, there is indeed a lack of excitement.
Shi Yunnan and Luo Lingsheng finished dinner in less than half an hour, and before they could get up from the table, Yuan Meng, who was always honest and steady, ran in rashly, "Patriarch! It's not good!"
"..."
Luo Lingsheng raised his eyes, his expression suddenly changed.
Shi Yunnan's vague uneasiness was maximized at this moment, "What's wrong?"
Before Yuan Meng could say anything, Uncle Qin's cell phone also rang.
The loudspeaker was connected, and there was the nervous tone of the summer camp leader teacher Nian Hu Chi.
"Hello? Is that Grandpa Jin Yu? Is it convenient for your parents to come to Shuilan Ancient Town? Jin and Jin Yu are gone."
Luo Lingsheng stood up in an instant and snatched the phone from the housekeeper's hand, "Hello, I'm Luo Jinyu's uncle, what do you mean he's gone?"
Shi Yunnan stood up and approached Yuan Meng with the same serious tone, "You want to talk about this too? Didn't you secretly send two people to protect the little goldfish?"
"Mr. Shi, I just heard the news! At 3:30 this afternoon, the young master returned to the hotel with the entire summer camp..."
In order to ensure the safety of the children, the hotel has a total of eight and nine floors. There is a life instructor and a security guard at the stairs and elevator entrances, and there is 24-hour surveillance in the corridors.
It stands to reason that the children are safe inside the hotel.
Luo Lingsheng didn't want the little goldfish to be special among children of the same age, so the two bodyguards he arranged were always in charge of secret protection outside. To put it simply—
When the little goldfish go out to play, they will hide in the crowd for protection; when they return to the hotel, they are only responsible for squatting outside the hotel and taking shifts.
Therefore, there is an information error between the two.
On the other end of the phone, the person in charge stated the situation, "Uncle Jin Yu, listen to me, today's summer camp itinerary ended early, and the children refused to rest when they returned to the hotel, making noise and wanting to continue playing."
"Our four leading teachers discussed it and took the children to the children's play area attached to the hotel on the first floor..."
Before entering the children's play area, the teachers also called the name to confirm that the little goldfish was there. But no one expected that after playing in the venue for an hour, the little goldfish disappeared when they gathered in line for the roll call.
The teachers searched for the first time, and later learned from the cries of the children who went with them—
He sneaked the little goldfish to the bathroom without telling the teacher, and then he couldn't help but wanted to play and left the little goldfish and ran back.
I didn't expect that I didn't see my friends at the end of the playtime, so I cried and told the truth.
All the teachers of the summer camp searched for more than half an hour, and they searched almost the entire hotel. After applying for investigation and monitoring, they found out that the little goldfish was forcibly taken away by a man, and then panicked.
Luo Lingsheng's breathing was short for two minutes, and Tuo didn't have the heart to listen to the teacher's apologetic and crying statement, "Enough, I'll rush over now, you summer camp best pray that Jin Yu is okay!"
Yuan Meng ran to the garage immediately.
"Patriarch, Mr. Shi, what can I do with this? Which rotten conscience is going to tie up the young master!" The elderly housekeeper, Niao Huanuo Mi couldn't stand, "Is it possible... it is really Luo Yanchuan. ?"
Shi Yunnan said with a calm face, "Who else is there besides him?"
Luo Lingsheng said decisively, "Yunnan go with me, Qin Bo, you are not fit to run around, stay at home and wait for our news."
Uncle Qin shivered, "Patriarch, I..."
"Uncle Qin, you believe me."
Shi Yunji suppressed his panic and kept his composure, "If it's really Luo Yanchuan, then he's here to extort money, and he shouldn't hurt the little goldfish for the time being."
"Uncle Qin, I will let Qin Jian keep in touch with you at all times. Don't go anywhere when you stay at home. Maybe there is a place where you need to run errands in the imperial capital in the future."
Luo Lingsheng exhorted, and as soon as the voice fell, the car horn sounded at the door.
Uncle Qin nodded reluctantly and watched Luo Lingsheng and Shi Yunan leave home and get into the car.
…
Yuan Meng drove the car at a gallop in the night.
Qin Jian, who was in the front row, turned around and handed Luo Lingsheng the surveillance video he just got, "Patriarch, Mr. Shi, this is the surveillance video from the summer camp teacher."
The first segment is the surveillance footage between the play area and the bathroom aisle, and the second segment is the surveillance footage from the back door of the adjacent hotel. The two surveillance videos are very short and only take five or six seconds together.
Luo Lingsheng and Shi Yunnan recognized the figure in the surveillance at a glance—
Even though he was wearing a mask and cap, and covered it with wide clothes, this person was 100% Luo Yanchuan, and it seemed that he was very familiar with the layout of the hotel and the activity space of the summer camp.
There was nothing wrong with their fears at dinner, the other party had no money to run away, so they had to start with the little goldfish, kidnapping and trying to extort money.
When the car got on the highway, Yuan Meng immediately mentioned the maximum speed he could drive.
Qin Jian asked nervously, "Patriarch, do you want to call the police?"
"Not for now!"
Shi Yunnan stopped him immediately, "Luo Yanchuan is desperate now, all he wants is money and leaving. If we call the police now and let him perceive the danger, it might do something to the little goldfish."
Luo Lingsheng agreed with his lover, "It's definitely necessary to call the police, but we can't act rashly right now. Luo Yanchuan will definitely contact us. As long as Jinyu is fine, he will let him take the money away if he wants money..."
"But how can we confirm the location of the young master? Can we only wait for Luo Yanchuan to contact him?"
"The message that Xiao Lin and the others just sent, Xiao Jinyu's schoolbag and the call watch used for positioning were all thrown at the back door of the hotel."
Yuan Meng, who was driving, still couldn't hold back and was worried about questioning.
"Before the goldfish left for this summer camp, I also asked him to carry a miniature locator with him."
Luo Lingsheng's eyes were still cold, but his reason was still there, "Qin Jian, you can log in to the official website of TG Positioning now, and enter my identity authority and locator number."
That miniature locator is the 'little black card' in the mouth of the little goldfish.
Qin Jian recalled the miniature locator he had purchased, and immediately became energetic, "Okay, I'll check it right now."
"Yuan Meng, how long will it take to get to Shuilan Ancient Town?"
"Mr. Shi, I will try to shorten it within an hour and a half."
"Hurry up as much as possible when it's safe to do so." Shi Yunnan demanded in a rough voice. It was the first time that he usually felt a pain in his head and heart because of his nervousness.
The cold palm was suddenly held, and the strength tightened.
Shi Yunnan immediately looked at Luo Lingsheng who was holding hands, his voice trembling slightly, "...I'm afraid the little goldfish will be afraid."
Luo Lingsheng replied, "You have to believe Jin Yu. He has never been a cowardly and timid character since he was a child. Even though he is still young and immature, he has always had the ability to respond to danger."
"Also, you have to trust me too."
Shi Yunnan felt the tension in his palm, and involuntarily shook it back, "I know."
Because he was the only flesh and blood his sister had left in the world, Luo Lingsheng never relaxed his protection of the little goldfish.
This time, the little goldfish offered to go to the summer camp, and as his uncle, he did everything he could do.
Now that the little goldfish suddenly had an accident, no one would blame himself and suffer more than Luo Lingsheng. But in such a sudden situation, he must suppress all unnecessary emotions under his composure. "Patriarch, I found it!" Qin Jian in the front row replied immediately, "The location of the young master is out of Shuilan Ancient Town, but it is still within the scope of Fang City."
"Keep watching, the police are there..."
Before he finished speaking, an encrypted phone call came in.
As expected, Luo Lingsheng and Shi Yunnan looked at each other, and the former answered the phone, "Hello, Luo Yanchuan."
"..."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a sneer.
Even though his identity was exposed, the other end of the phone still had his voice changed. "As soon as I call the police, I will tear up the ticket. You know, I can do it."
Luo Lingsheng said in a steady tone, "I didn't call the police, just tell me what you have to do to let people go."
"I want 300 million. At ten o'clock tomorrow morning, I will send the account number to your mobile phone. After confirming that the money has been received, I will naturally release it."
Luo Lingsheng's eyes were covered with haze, "Three hundred million?"
"Yes! Just three hundred million! Luo Lingsheng, I know you can get the money!" There was a hint of sinister madness over the phone.
"Don't you want to hand Luo Shi to this little brat in the future?"
"Use 300 million assets to exchange for a peaceful heir, do you want to do this deal or not?"
This action was done deliberately, and the target has always been a small goldfish.
Don't underestimate the cruel heart of a 'fate-player'.
Even if he didn't launch a plan at the summer camp, he would launch a corresponding kidnapping plan elsewhere, and he just wanted to spend his life to fight for the money!
"understood."
Luo Lingsheng had to respond, but he agreed to three chapters, "But you must ensure that Jin Yu is not hurt at all, otherwise, you should know what I used to do."
"Don't worry, when it comes to buying and selling, the better the thing, the higher the price."
The other end of the phone sneered, and did not forget to warn again and again.
"But I also said that if you dare to call the police and I find out there are police officers, I will also not make you feel better."
"Luo Lingsheng, isn't it uncomfortable to be in a wheelchair? You shouldn't want your little nephew to be disabled too? Do you?"
"..."
Blue veins appeared on the back of Luo Lingsheng's hand, and the strength of his forbearance almost crushed the phone.
Shi Yunnan stroked the back of his lover's hand twice, and took the opportunity to grab the phone that was talking.
"Luo Yanchuan, let me talk to Jin Yu on the phone for three minutes. I want to hear his voice to confirm safety! Otherwise, how do we know if you are lying?"
The other end of the phone let out a contemptuous laugh, and after a ten-second pause, a cautious voice came out.
"Hey?"
No voice change this time.
Shi Yunnan's tense heartstrings loosened for a moment, "Little goldfish, it's me."
The little goldfish on the other end of the phone let out a little cry, "Little uncle."
"Yes, my uncle is here."
Shi Yunnan communicated with him in a gentle tone as always, "Tell my uncle first, do you feel any discomfort?"
"No injuries, no discomfort." The little goldfish was calmer than ordinary children when he was in trouble, and now he can answer clearly, "I'm very good, I didn't make him angry."
"Okay, my uncle knows you're good."
Shi Yunnan heard the clear thinking of the little goldfish when he spoke, and temporarily confirmed his safety.
"Little goldfish, listen to my uncle, my uncle and I are looking for you now."
"Don't be afraid, don't worry about it, close your eyes and go to sleep obediently."
"We'll pick you up tomorrow morning, okay?"
Shi Yunnan used the gentlest tone to persuade and make promises word by word.
"… good."
The little goldfish took a breath and returned aggrievedly, "But my little quilt is in the hotel, what should I do if I can't sleep at night?"
Shi Yunnan's eyes gleamed and he told him, "Then you should think about the stories my uncle told you before, and think about how the little protagonists took risks and how brave they were?"
The little goldfish on the other end of the phone seemed to have some energy, "I have to be as brave as them now, right?"
"Yes, exactly."
An impatient statement sounded, "Is it enough?"
Shi Yunnan frowned and took the last time to comfort him, "Good night little goldfish, my uncle and I love you very much, we'll see you tomorrow."
The little goldfish's response was a little brisk, "Yeah! See you tomorrow!"
