"I'm ready, let's go." Shi Xiaonian put the cup aside and wiped his mouth.
She was still wearing a hospital gown underneath, and her head was bandaged with gauze. She had a high fever, her face was ugly, her lips were dry, and she looked like she might collapse at any time.
Gong Ou stared at her, his eyes darkened, turned around and walked out, "Let's go."
"Yeah." When Xiao Nian raised her feet and walked out, Feng De couldn't help but call her, "Xiao Nian."
He no longer called her Miss Xi in front of Gong Ou.
When Xiao Nian turned her head, Feng De took off the scarf on the hanger nearby and put it on for her. He looked at her kindly, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepened, "You are always afraid of the cold, so dress warmly."
Gong Ou stood at the door and looked at the two of them indifferently.
"I know, foster father."
Shi Xiaonian tried his best to smile so as not to worry Feng De.
"Pay attention to safety and bring the medicine." Feng De and Shi Xiaonian spent four years relying on each other. He was not worried about the young master, only worried about her. He put the medicine bag into Shi Xiaonian's pocket and took it for her. Tie the scarf, "Pneumonia can be big or small. You should pay more attention to it, you know? I will bring you a few thermos bottles with hot water."
"Yeah." Shi Xiaonian nodded, looked at Feng De's worried look and said, "Don't worry, I'm just going to pay the ransom."
Shi Xiaonian hugged Feng De, turned around and walked out, following Gong Ou.
Feng De prepared a black car and parked it at a hidden location at the back entrance of the hospital. The trunk was opened and filled with silver password boxes.
"Check it one last time."
Gong Ou said coldly.
Several bodyguards opened the lockbox, which contained dense amounts of cash and expensive jewelry.
"No problem, Mr. Gong."
The bodyguard locked the lockbox.
"Get in the car." Gong Ou looked at Shi Xiaonian, who looked sick. Shi Xiaonian nodded, opened the door of the passenger seat and got in.
Gong Ou got into the driver's seat and fastened his seat belt, wearing a mask on his face, started the car, stepped on the accelerator and sped out, heading towards the Fusion Plaza.
"What kind of ransom will they ask for? Let us park the car in Ronghui Plaza and they will drive away?"
Shi Xiaonian asked.
The kidnappers had such a big appetite and there were so many heavy lock boxes in the car that it was not easy to transport the ransom money.
"There are too many people in the square, so they won't do that kind of thing."
Gong Ou said, his voice was low and steady, extremely calm.
"So you didn't let anyone wait in the square in advance." Shi Xiaonian understood what he meant. There were many people in the square, and the kidnappers would not choose to take the ransom there.
"If we deploy people first and the kidnappers see through, the two children will be in danger."
Gong Ou said.
Shi Xiaonian nodded. The kidnappers came to the square early to monitor them and see if they called the police and arranged manpower there.
"Cough cough cough."
Shi Xiaonian coughed violently, which made her chest feel cold and painful. She forced herself to endure it, but she couldn't.
"The thermos is in the back seat. Get it yourself."
Gong Ou glanced at her with dark eyes and said.
"good."
Shi Xiaonian responded without going to get the thermos cup. She had no idea of drinking water now, she just wanted to save the twins.
Gong Ou drove into Ronghui Square. It was noon and the square was busy with people coming and going.
Everything seemed peaceful.
Gong Ou parked the car in front of the beautiful sculpture in the square. It was an angel sculpture. A man and a woman hugged each other affectionately. The man spread huge wings behind his back, as if he was flying to a sweet country with his beloved woman. , is a famous couple attraction in S city.
I don’t know if it’s an advertisement from the square, but there’s a saying that has been circulating in City S: Couples who don’t stay in front of the angel statue can’t last long.
After Gong Ou stopped the car, everything calmed down.
His dark eyes observed the surrounding environment, and strange faces fell into his sight. Shi Xiaonian asked, "What should we do now?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the cell phone on Xiaonian's body rang.
She picked up the phone sensitively and immediately. It was an unknown number. Gong Ou glanced at her and said, "Hands-free."
"good."
Shi Xiaonian nodded and turned on the speakerphone. Gong Yao's young but calm voice came, "Very good, you have finally arrived at the square. Now I want to check whether it is Xi Xiaonian himself."
"Holy, are you okay?"
When Shi Xiaonian heard her son's voice, she immediately asked anxiously.
It was too much for the kidnappers to ask such a young child to read out their demands again and again.
Hearing her voice, Gong Yao paused and continued after a few seconds of silence, "Xi Xiaonian, you go to the angel statue now, right away."
It appears that the kidnapper did not allow her son to speak to her.
Shi Xiaonian glanced at Gong Ou and said, "Okay, I'll go right away. Please don't hurt my child."
As she spoke, Xiaonian unbuckled her seat belt, opened the car door and walked down. A gust of wind blew over, making her lungs feel very uncomfortable, and she started coughing again.
An arm went around her waist.
Shi Xiaonian turned her eyes in astonishment, Gong Ou hugged her and walked towards the angel statue, "Let's go."
He blocked the direction of the wind for her.
With his arms in his arms, Shi Xiaonian felt much better. She walked to the angel statue and looked around blankly. The passers-by laughed and looked at them, treating them as an ordinary couple and did not recognize Shi Xiaonian.
The surrounding area is surrounded by shopping malls.
There are many buildings.
I don’t know how the kidnappers were monitoring them.
Shi Xiaonian was held in Gong Ou's arms, holding a mobile phone in his hand, "How's it going? Is it okay?"
Soon, Gong Yao's voice sounded in their ears, "Okay, are you sure it's just the two of you?"
"Yes, I brought a bodyguard."
Shi Xiaonian looked at the mask on Gong Ou's face and said.
"Very good. There is a car parked on Renmin Road behind the shopping mall. Transfer the ransom money to that car and drive to the western suburbs." Gong Yao said on the other end of the phone.
"Where in the western suburbs?"
Shi Xiaonian asked anxiously.
"Just go and I'll let you know where you are going," Gong Yao replied.
Shi Xiaonian understood that the content of the call was over, so she quickly took the time to say, "Holy, don't be afraid, I will definitely come to save you, don't be afraid."
Before she could finish her words, the phone was hung up.
"Let's go, change cars."
Shi Xiaonian looked at Gong Ou next to her and walked toward the car. She was extremely weak, her whole body was weak, and she walked slowly even if she hurriedly walked.
Gong Ou hugged her and pulled her into his arms. Shi Xiaonian leaned against him, resting her head on his shoulder, following him completely passively.
Shi Xiaonian opened his eyes and looked at Gong Ou. He was wearing a mask and could not see his face. His eyes were dark and deep, and his eyelashes were covered with a layer of gold in the sunlight.
He didn't even look at her, but she suddenly felt at ease.
It's good to have Gong Ou here.
Shi Xiaonian was helped by Gong Ou to sit in the car. When changing cars on Renmin Road, Gong Ou carried the heavy password box alone and changed to the car that the kidnapper had given.
It was a white car with a fake license plate.
When Xiao Nian wanted to help, Gong Ou glanced at her with dark eyes, "Stay away."
After Gong Ou transferred all the password boxes to the white car, he opened all the doors, bent down to check something, and then squatted down to check the bottom of the car.
"What are you doing?"
Shi Xiaonian asked doubtfully.
Gong Ou stood up, wiped his hands with a tissue, and looked at her with black eyes, "How do you know whether the kidnapper really wants money, or is taking the opportunity to eliminate you?"
“…”
Shi Xiaonian was stunned. He was afraid that there would be something wrong with the car. She looked at the dust on his hands and said, "Then you are still coming with me? Your worth is much more valuable than mine."
If we really eliminate her, nothing will change. If he falls in, too much will change. Just like when he disappeared four years ago, everything changed and affected many people.
"My children are equally valuable. I don't trust them if I leave them to you." Gong Ou wiped his hands and stared at her deeply with his dark eyes. "It's been checked. It's fine. Get in the car."
"good."
Shi Xiaonian looked at his face with dim eyes, opened the passenger door, got in, and fastened his seat belt.
Gong Ou drove toward the suburbs.
It was a long way out from the city, and the two of them were silent all the way in the silent car.
I don't know if it was because of the medicine, but Shi Xiaonian was obviously nervous, but she started to feel sleepy. Her head became more and more dizzy, tears kept coming out, and she was so sleepy that she couldn't resist.
"Sleep if you want. We haven't reached the suburbs yet."
Gong Ou's voice came.
"I won't sleep."
Shi Xiaonian shook her head, picked up a thermos bottle, unscrewed the lid, and took a sip. The warm water slid into her throat and made her feel much better.
I feel groggy and uncomfortable, and my head still hurts.
Shi Xiaonian felt like she was surrounded by something, her breathing was not smooth, her throat was itchy, and her eyelids kept protesting against her to close.
She knew that if the silence continued like this, she would definitely fall asleep.
"Holy's personality is very similar to yours now." Shi Xiaonian leaned on his seat and said hoarsely.
"Um."
Gong Ou responded while driving the car, holding the steering wheel with his slender hands and driving the car smoothly.
"He also has a very cold personality. He is mature beyond his years. He is polite and distant to others. I used to think that he was not close to me and there was a gap between him and me. But yesterday I discovered that he is actually a child who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. "
When Shi Xiaonian said this, a smile appeared on her pale lips.
"Is it?"
Gong Ou said coldly, turned his eyes to look at her, and drove on.
There were bare trees on both sides.
"Yeah." Shi Xiaonian used words to distract herself from being sleepy. "Xiao Kui's personality is completely different from Holy. She is lively, cheerful, innocent, and doesn't like restraint. She can do whatever she likes, and she can do whatever she doesn't like. Just say she doesn't like it, in her eyes, this world is particularly beautiful."
"Just like you."
Gong Ou continued her words indifferently.
Shi Xiaonian smiled, "I'm not as cheerful as her. I've always wanted to preserve Xiaokui's personality because I think it's so good. She's so cute..."
Speaking of this, Shi Xiaonian paused and couldn't continue, her eyes became more and more dull.
"Why are not you talking?"
Gong Ou asked while driving the car. (To be continued)
