When Luo Lingsheng, Shi Yunnan and the others arrived at the hotel, the summer camp teacher and two personal bodyguards were already waiting.
The person in charge of the summer camp said tremblingly, "Mr. Luo, I'm so sorry for finally waiting for you, we..."
Shi Yunnan interrupted neatly, "Principal Cheng, now is not the time to apologize. You'd better pray that my children are all right, and it's not too late to say the rest of the apology later."
The person in charge looked at Shi Yunnan, but when he saw him standing side by side with Luo Lingsheng, he immediately answered, "Yes, yes."
This little goldfish must not have an accident, otherwise Luo Lingsheng would not have to complain once the news spread, and the teachers and kindergarten would suffer.
"Mr. Luo, don't you call the police? The sooner you report this to the police, the better!"
Shi Yunan and Luo Lingsheng looked at each other, the latter said coldly, "I won't call the police for now, the other party threatened to tear up the ticket when I called the police, and I'll wait for him to notify him tomorrow morning to change the person with money."
When the teachers heard this, they all fell silent.
In a legal society, calling the police is the best way.
However, if the gangster is accidentally informed of the police, and the other party is so mad that they have done something to 'hurt the child', then they will not be able to bear the responsibility of this 'persuasion'.
"Principal Cheng, I want the list of the staff accompanying you in this summer camp! I want all of them now!" Shi Yunnanguo cut off.
"Alright, alright, I'll go get it now."
Shi Yunnan and Luo Lingsheng looked at each other, already thinking about it.
How could you not call the police when this happened
As soon as they arrived in Fang City, they asked Qin Jian to report to the police with all the available evidence, but deliberately did not mention it in front of the summer camp teachers.
Because Shi Yunnan suspected that Luo Yanchuan's eyeliner had been placed in the entourage of the summer camp.
Otherwise, as a 'fugitive' and an outsider, how could Luo Yanchuan be able to grasp everything about 'summer camp travel' in such a short period of time
Not only avoiding the surveillance-focused area, but also choosing to leave from the back door with the least flow of people, this is definitely not a temporary motivation, and it is not like a pre-investigation that can be achieved by one person.
Regardless of whether such a guess is accurate or not, Shi Yunnan cannot take the slightest risk.
The police must report, but they must also ensure the safety of the little goldfish.
"Patriarch, Mr. Shi, this is the small satchel and smart watch that the young master was left behind." The two bodyguards who were in charge of protecting them stepped forward and spoke in fear.
This time they made a major mistake, and their jobs are definitely not guaranteed.
I just hope that the young master can return to the owner and Mr. Shi's side safely and that nothing will happen.
Shi Yunnan took two things, and there was a trace of restrained worry in his eyes.
The casing of the smartwatch was completely shattered, apparently being crushed by human beings, and the outside of the small satchel was stained with a lot of mud.
Shi Yunnan didn't care about the mess, lightly patted the dust with his hands before unzipping the small satchel - there were only a few fruit candies and three crushed candy figures in it.
"Little uncle, the teacher took us to the candy man's place today. I secretly spent money to buy three candy men, one for uncle, one for you, and one for me, okay?"
Shi Yunnan remembered the phone call with Little Goldfish not long ago, and unconsciously clenched the items in his palm.
Shi Yunan asked, "Which teacher is in charge of going out to play and study during the day?"
Several teachers in the summer camp looked at each other in dismay, thinking that Shi Yunnan wanted to 'inquire about the crime' and did not dare to speak out.
In the end, a quiet-looking female teacher took the initiative to stand up, "Hello parents, I am one of the teachers in charge."
"The little goldfish has been very good during the day, and he has never had contact with strangers. The only time he has contacted with the stall owner who sells sugar, but he also bought it under my supervision and consent."
"I'm not looking for that."
Shi Yunnan replied that he saw the female teacher's work card and took the initiative to hand over the sugar man model in his hand, "Mr. Song You, I want to trouble you with one thing."
"… You say."
"Tomorrow morning, can I trouble you to go to the booth and buy three more identical sugar figures?"
"Right now, these three models are all crushed. I'm afraid that the little goldfish will be sad when he sees it back. I want to replace it before he finds it."
When Teacher Song heard this, his heart was moved.
These days, it is rare for parents who can take care of everything in the way of their children's growth and can't bear to hurt their children's sensitive minds.
"Of course, leave this to me."
"Thank you."
As soon as the words fell, Principal Cheng walked back with the list of accompanying staff members.
"Mr. Luo, look, the first page is the list of our entourage this time, and the second page is the list of teachers who have been in charge of the summer camp."
"Also, this is a photo taken by all the staff holding the summer camp flag before departure."
Luo Lingsheng took the initiative to take the list, and took Jin and Shi Yunnan to examine them one by one.
When the list of employees turned back, Shi Yunnan noticed a familiar name almost instantly. He calmly tapped the back of Luo Lingsheng's hand with his fingertips as a reminder.
Luo Lingsheng glanced at his lover with a tacit understanding from the corner of his eye, and in order to avoid stunned, he naturally changed the subject, "Yuan Meng, you called Uncle Qin and asked him how the ransom was transferred?"
At this point in the evening, the bank had already closed, and this large-scale capital flow really took some effort.
Yuan Meng understood and complied immediately.
Shi Yunnan picked up the phone and whispered, "I'll go and call Ning De'an, I need his help with some things."
"Well." Luo Lingsheng answered seriously.
At this moment, he can't raise his past 'jealous' tastes and thoughts.
After Shi Yunnan took the phone and walked away, Luo Lingsheng turned on the tablet device. Fortunately, the location icon on the map had not changed.
It seemed that Luo Yanchuan was planning to take the little goldfish to stay in the same place as long as he was not disturbed deliberately.
…
The western suburb of Fang City.
On the tattered wall covered with cement, the words 'demolition' are written in bold circles.
This area was designated as a new development area three months ago, and now all the residents in it have moved out. Looking around, there are only fragments of old cement houses that look like ruins.
Sewer pipes were blocked throughout the street.
The sewage on the ground floor of the first floor can barely flow over the wooden threshold, and it emits a stench quietly at night.
The little goldfish cuddled obediently on a leather sofa, his hands and feet were tied, and there was a piece of tape on his mouth. He watched the iron door that was pulled up vigilantly.
His mind kept echoing what Shi Yunan had said, trying to turn fear into courage.
— pat.
There was a sound of stepping on water outside the house, a familiar figure appeared outside the iron door, and the rusty sliding door made a screeching screeching sound.
Luo Yanchuan took off his large face-covering hat, and closed the second iron gate with a gloomy, stinky face.
His mouth and chin were covered with cyan stubble, and the sides of his cheeks continued to be thin and concave, his eyes were full of red blood, and there were dark circles under his eyes that couldn't be opened...
But after half a month, he has already lost the slightest demeanor of the 'rich young master' in the past, just as he said on the phone - he has become an out-and-out desperado.
Luo Yanchuan walked up to the little goldfish and threatened in a hoarse voice, "I've taken off your tape now, so you're not allowed to yell, do you understand?"
The little goldfish nodded calmly.
Three seconds later, the tape stuck to the mouth fell down instantly, with a burning pain.
The little goldfish pursed his lips and shouted softly, "...Brother Yanchuan."
Although the two are twenty years apart in age, according to the generations left by the family, it is indeed a relationship of side-brothers.
Little Goldfish had little contact with Luo Yanchuan since childhood, but he recognized this person.
Luo Yanchuan heard the voice of 'brother', his eyes were cold for a moment, and then he refused even more vigorously, "Don't pretend to be good here and please, I can't bear this little young master."
"..."
The little goldfish heard his tone, and saw his hands and feet being bound, still a little aggrieved and scared.
The learning at the summer camp ended early today, so at the request of the classmates, the leading teachers decided to take them to the play area on the first floor.
Originally, the little goldfish played well in the ocean ball area, but the little friend who lived in the same room with him suddenly said that he wanted to go to the toilet, so he forced him to go with him.
As a result, after the little friend went to the toilet, he left the little goldfish and couldn't wait to go back to play.
The little goldfish that was left was sullen and washed his hands in front of the sink alone. Before he could react, someone covered his mouth from behind, picked him up and ran away.
Thinking of this, the little goldfish felt a little sad.
Luo Yanchuan lost the small satchel and watch he was carrying with him. Fortunately, he listened to his uncle's words and put the small black card on top of his underwear every day after taking a shower...
Uncle said, as long as the little black card is stuck, no matter where he is, he will not get lost.
Moreover, the little uncle promised on the phone just now that as long as he is brave for one night, he will be able to see the little uncle and the others tomorrow.
Gurulu.
Just thinking about it, the little goldfish's stomach made a clear and urgent sound.
Luo Yanchuan, who was on the side, heard this movement, looked over coldly, and sneered, "Hungry?"
"… Sorry."
The little goldfish shook his head and took a deep breath to deflate his stomach.
He was caught before dinner, and it has been four or five hours now, and naturally he was groaning with hunger.
Luo Yanchuan took two steps forward and untied the thick rope on the little goldfish's hand. The area where the rope was tied was slightly red, but not particularly serious.
Obviously, the little goldfish did not struggle deliberately.
Luo Yanchuan said, "When I was gone, you didn't think about running away? You were too timid or scared."
The little goldfish held the little hand and said nothing.
He's not a little fool, so he doesn't run around in unfamiliar places.
If he couldn't escape, he would definitely be scolded and beaten if he was caught. Even if they escaped, what should I do if my uncle and the others can't be found tomorrow
Luo Yanchuan threw a piece of bread into the arms of the little goldfish, "Hurry up, I don't need to lose money."
"thanks."
The little goldfish picked up the bun and made another obedient sound.
"..."
Luo Yanchuan was stunned by the child's attitude, and said with a sneer, "Luo Lingsheng and Shi Yunnan have such a stubborn personality, how did they raise such a soft thing as you?"
"Just like you, when you grow up, you still deserve to be the heir to the head of the family? It's really good luck."
Born in Rome.
It's not like he has such a pair of useless parents that he will be reduced to the current situation.
The little goldfish didn't answer.
Taking advantage of Luo Yanchuan's inattentiveness, he used the darkness to touch the edge of his panties, and the little black card was still pinned to it.
The little goldfish calmed down and bit the bread to cushion its stomach one by one.
Luo Yanchuan heard the honest and well-behaved chewing sound, and there was a trace of uncertainty in the bottom of his eyes. In fact, he knew very well—
In this confrontation, it seemed that he, who was held hostage, had the upper hand. In fact, he put himself in a situation where 'one step back is a dead end'.
Luo Yanchuan was not reconciled to his end, so he spared his life, so he wanted money.
If the little goldfish had an accident in his hands, with Luo Lingsheng's temperament, he might be able to do anything.
Today's little goldfish is both a money-requesting tool and an uncertain bomb in his hands.
Of course, if Luo Lingsheng and Shi Yunnan pushed him into a hurry, he wouldn't mind blowing up the bomb to kill the fish and the net.
Suddenly, the text message on the phone vibrated and rang.
Luo Yanchuan opened it to check.
In the darkness, the faint light of the mobile phone screen reflected his expression, and his face that had been gloomy all day finally flashed a hint of joy.
He has already planned the route of 'smuggling' to go abroad. First, take a black car from Fangshi to the border, and then use a fake identity to fly overseas to go overseas.
This text message is a notification on the road.
As long as he can get the 300 million, he will still be able to change his name and surname to stand up overseas again!
…
After eating the bread, the little goldfish still huddled on the sofa, observed Luo Yanchuan secretly for a while, then closed his eyes and pretended to rest.
He is afraid, but he has to be brave.
Luo Yanchuan saw the attitude of the little goldfish and knew that he couldn't escape under his nose for a while, so he went to the window to smoke.
One bite after another, the smoke lingers.
When he ran out of the house that day, it was very sudden, the alcohol in his body had not completely dissipated, and he bumped into someone in that situation, and immediately thought of running away.
When you wake up and regret it, you have already chosen the possibility.
Since the police issued the official notification, Luo Yanchuan has not had a good night's sleep, and spent the whole night smoking.
One step is wrong, one step is wrong, since it is wrong, it is wrong to the end! Now, as long as he stays up for another day, he can be freed.
…
Oriental spit white.
Luo Yanchuan made a call using an encrypted mobile phone number.
At the same time, Luo Lingsheng, who was waiting for the call, was immediately connected, "Hello."
"It doesn't feel good to have a night of sleepless night, right? Master Luo."
Luo Lingsheng turned on the loudspeaker so that Shi Yunnan and the others could hear clearly, "When is the deal?"
"I knew that Luo's group was rich and powerful, with only 300 million yuan, and it only took a few hours to transfer successfully?"
"I'll report the card number to you, and when I'm sure I've received the money..."
"No!" Shi Yunnan answered in place of Luo Lingsheng, "We must see the little goldfish and make sure he is safe and sound!"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and he asked back in displeasure, "Shi Yunnan, you are not qualified to negotiate conditions with me now. The child is still in my hands, so you must listen to me."
The husky voice over the phone was full of malice.
Luo Lingsheng frowned, but he repeated his lover's words, "It is impossible to pay you in advance, the time and place, I have to meet Jin Yu, pay the money with one hand, and hand the person with one hand."
They were betting that Luo Yanchuan on the other end of the phone was more important than life.
Silent silence continued on both ends of the phone. In the end, Luo Yanchuan was the first to lose. "Come here at eight o'clock. I will give you the address last."
He didn't want the other party to know the address in advance, so as not to plan in advance a plan to save people that shouldn't be there.
Luo Yanchuan continued, "I asked for an additional three million in cash. Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you dare to let me see the shadow of the police, I can't guarantee that you will do something asshole when you are angry."
Luo Lingsheng held his breath and answered, "Okay."
…
Eight in the morning.
According to Luo Yanchuan's step-by-step instructions, Shi Yunan drove to the vicinity of Yanshan Highway on time.
This is a civilian-built mountain road that is about to be abandoned, and there is only such a straight road. One side of the road is a mountain wall, and one side is a sloping forest with a vertical height difference of more than ten meters.
At this point in the morning, there are no extra vehicles passing by at all, which is very suitable for driving 'running' in an emergency.
According to Luo Yanchuan's request, Shi Yunnan parked the car ten meters away, got out of the car with a large suitcase containing cash, and approached the black car with a fake white license plate on the opposite side step by step.
The window rolled down, revealing Luo Yanchuan's almost unrecognizable fierce face, "Stand there."
"..."
Shi Yunnan stopped his steps and obeyed obediently, "Where's Jin Yu?"
"What are you panicking about? Can I still eat a child?"
Luo Yanchuan got out of the car in the front row, opened the door of the rear compartment and pulled out the bundled little goldfish.
The little goldfish had several small hairs sticking up on its head, and its cheeks were rubbed ashen. The moment he saw Shi Yunnan, his pretended strength finally had a crack.
"Uncle."
With just such a name, Shi Yunnan was so soft-hearted.
Luo Yanchuan took out a small fruit knife from his sleeve, and immediately put the blade on the neck of the little goldfish, "How is it? Am I very honest in doing business?"
"Luo Yanchuan! Put down the knife!"
"Shi Yunnan, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me!"
Luo Yanchuan took the knife a little closer and demanded through gritted teeth, "Open the suitcase now, and take it to my car after I confirm it!"
"And the 300 million I want, call me right away!"
The cold blade rested on the neck of the little goldfish, a little carelessness would cause danger, "Little uncle, I'm afraid..."
"Don't be afraid, little goldfish, my uncle has prepared a lot of delicious food and will take you away later."
Shi Yunnan reassured him, and clenched the handle of the suitcase tightly in his hand, "Luo Yanchuan, as long as you don't hurt the child, I will do it."
"Come on! I'm impatient!"
This kind of thing, delaying for a second is dangerous.
Shi Yunnan followed the instructions step by step, and when he approached Luo Yanchuan and Xiao Jinyu with the money, the latter did not stop raising his knife.
"Cash to you first."
Shi Yunnan threw the suitcase into the car quickly and accurately. He looked at the little goldfish less than one meter away, and tentatively stated, "Luo Yanchuan, you let the child go, and I will exchange it for you as a hostage."
"At that time, I will let them transfer the money to your account."
Luo Yanchuan held on to the knife tightly. He heard Shi Yunan's proposal and disdainfully rejected it, "Shi Yunan, do you think I'm stupid? You are an adult with hands and feet, and I will take you as a hostage?"
"You give me back! Give me money now! Immediately!" Luo Yanchuan's forehead was soaked with sweat, and he squeezed a threat from between his teeth.
Because of his nervousness and excitement, his arm holding the little goldfish was a little too hard.
The little goldfish turned pale in pain, wanted to cry but remembered Luo Lingsheng's teaching that "a man does not shed tears", holding back the tears in his eyes.
Shi Yunnan couldn't bear to let the little goldfish suffer, he was afraid of 'driving Luo Yanchuan crazy', so he retreated to the side of the car without a word, and helped Luo Lingsheng in the back row of his car down.
Luo Yanchuan saw Luo Lingsheng, and the heartstrings that had just relaxed for a moment were tense again, "I said it! Only one person can come!"
"I am a person with disabled legs, are you afraid of me?"
Luo Lingsheng sat in a wheelchair and asked questions calmly. He manipulated the complicated account interface on the computer and gave his conditions, "Luo Yanchuan, listen to me."
"First, the premise of all I promise you is not to hurt the child."
"Secondly, I will first put 100 million yuan into your account, and I will continue to call you as long as Jin Yu returns to us for the remaining money."
Luo Yanchuan narrowed his eyes, "I said, you are not qualified..."
"You don't trust Yunnan to be a hostage, so I'll do it for you."
Luo Lingsheng seized the opportunity and regained the right to speak back to his palm, "Compared to Jin Yu as a child, I am the veritable current ruler of the Luo family."
"You're smart, should you know which chip is bigger?"
Luo Yanchuan's pupils shrank slightly, and his Adam's apple rolled nervously.
He naturally knew which chip was bigger, and now that the police didn't show up, it didn't mean that he was not caught by the police when he ran away.
A lame man with limited mobility but a lot of money is indeed more suitable to be a hostage.
Gambler wins is a cruel word.
If the trouble ends in the end, if the fish die and the net breaks, pulling Luo Lingsheng to die together is better than pulling a child.
right!
If death is imminent, he must pull Luo Lingsheng to hell!
Luo Yanchuan had previously learned about underground accounts abroad. As long as he received the money, only he could withdraw the money in the future with the secret key as the party concerned, and he would never be intercepted halfway.
"Play 1.5 billion first." Luo Yanchuan raised his stake, and now he must get more money to run.
"… good."
Luo Lingsheng suppressed the anger in the depths of his pupils, and pretended to have a change in his face.
After getting the private message confirming the transfer, Luo Yanchuan grabbed the little goldfish's neck with one hand, and threw the thick rope in the car with the other, demanding that—
"Shi Yunnan, you came to tie his hands, you must beat him to death under my nose."
"..."
Shi Yunnan took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
After all, the knife was on the neck of the little goldfish, threatening the lives of him and Luo Lingsheng.
five minutes later.
Luo Lingsheng sat upside down in the co-pilot of the black car, and the second step of the transfer was successfully completed. Luo Yanchuan finally threw away the little goldfish in his hand like throwing garbage at the last juncture.
Shi Yunnan hugged the child and pulled out of Luo Yanchuan's hurtful space.
"Little uncle woo woo woo woo..."
The lacrimal glands of the little goldfish finally burst, and she was out of breath crying.
Shi Yunnan immediately untied the ropes that bound the little goldfish, and carefully examined him all over. His wrists and neck were only slightly bruised, although there were some bloodstains, but it was not serious.
"Don't be afraid, it's alright, my uncle is here."
Shi Yunnan kissed the little goldfish on the forehead, and he was so distressed that he hugged him in his arms to avoid touching any pictures related to Luo Yanchuan.
At the same time, Luo Yanchuan, who quickly got into the car, was about to start the car and leave.
Suddenly, Luo Lingsheng, who was lying on the co-pilot, suddenly spoke in a deep voice, "Luo Yanchuan, you have been a brainless person from beginning to end."
