The two of them were sitting in a coffee shop on the second floor of the mall.
Che Linwan crossed the lobster salad in his hands soullessly while lowering his head in thought.
The kidnapper's demands were not high, and could even be said to be a bit humble. The other party only asked for 300,000 in cash, of which 20,000 were required in non-consecutive numbers.
Then he rented a car that was returned from another place in the name of Che Linwan, and put the car and money at the designated location.
The other party agreed to release Ms. Bai.
"Isn't it too simple, and it always feels like there are traps?"
Xia Mingzhi was checking the coordinate code sent by Ye Jialuo, and raised his head in confusion.
"what is the problem?"
"I don't have 300,000 in cash..."
Ms. Bai is rich, but Ms. Bai herself was kidnapped.
Che Linwan had savings, but he couldn't get so much cash at the same time.
Xia Mingzhi looked at her, wondering if she would feel terrible if he told her that he could provide the cash.
Then what he will do next will be terrifying.
"Ah! I thought of it." Che Linwan suddenly stood up and stared at the air for a while.
Then he ran out without looking back.
"Doctor Che?" Xia Mingzhi could only follow him out.
But when he chased him to the taxi area, Che Linwan had already gotten into a taxi and waved to him.
"You go back first, you don't have to accompany me."
Xia Mingzhi sighed silently, turned and walked towards the elevator of the underground parking garage.
Perhaps from the perspective of others, he seemed a little lonely. He probably had a fight with his girlfriend, and the girlfriend ran away in anger, leaving her boyfriend on the spot.
This kind of thing happens a lot on the street, and the security guards at the mall entrance are not surprised.
They have even seen pregnant women dragging their husbands to buy jewelry. If they don't buy it, they will sit on the ground and threaten to give birth.
There was also an attempt to commit suicide by jumping from the five-story landscape platform, but instead of dying, he killed a passerby who was filming a video below.
The world is full of wonders. The security uncle gave Xia Mingzhi a look of sympathy and even considerately helped him hold the elevator down.
Xia Mingzhi felt a little embarrassed at the sight. He tried to explain that it was not his girlfriend and it was not a quarrel.
But when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.
The little red dot on the phone showed that the taxi carrying Che Lin Wan was driving very fast.
Xia Mingzhi dialed a number and asked, "How are you doing? Have you found your location?"
"Yes."
"Where?"
"An unfinished factory building in Hongqiao Town."
"Is there surveillance nearby?"
"Haha, there aren't even traffic lights nearby. The place where he surfs the Internet every time is 2 kilometers away from him. It should be an Internet cafe in the town."
"So there are at least two people."
"At least two. I said, wouldn't it be too risky for you to go alone?"
"Just remember to call the police in time."
"Remember to turn on the front camera."
While Che Linwan was driving towards the landmark building in the financial district, Xia Mingzhi was heading in the opposite direction to leave the city.
He touched the iron pipe on the motorcycle's axle, which was the weapon he had prepared.
I originally planned to bring a small saber, but I didn't want to actually stab someone to death in the chaos, especially when there were hostages.
Ye Jialuo's phone call came in again.
"explain."
"Really don't call the two brothers anymore?"
"Are you coming?"
"I, I... I don't! I'm a support staff member. Have you seen the American TV series Criminal Minds? I'm Penelope Garcia, the technical support person in it."
"...That's a woman."
"I'm Red."
"Red is always out in the field."
"If you have a bulletproof vest, I can go out in the field too!"
"There are strict gun controls in this country. What on earth is your bulletproof vest for?"
“With domestic traffic jams like that, why don’t people still buy supercars?”
"… Bye."
