After a grand banquet, Zhang Ran left the United States and returned to China.
Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.
In a remote small town in Africa, Zhang Xiaotao and several classmates looked nervously at the gangster with a gun in front of them.
They never expected that they would encounter something like this when they were just here for a graduation trip. They would actually be kidnapped.
I never expected that this place would be in such chaos.
"Don't mess around. You can talk about whatever you want. Please don't hurt us." Zhang Xiaotao swallowed.
Afraid that these people would not understand, Zhang Xiaotao also changed to several other popular languages.
Several other students were so frightened that they could not speak. They were just ordinary students.
They came up with such a unique graduation trip at the last minute, but they didn't expect that the outside world could be so dangerous.
Fortunately, someone could understand what they were saying. It was a thin man with fierce eyes.
"Do you have money? We only need money. If you don't have money, don't blame us for exchanging your parts for money." said the thin man.
As soon as these words came out, several students beside him trembled in fright again.
Zhang Xiaotao also turned pale. It was the first time for him to encounter such a situation, but after all, he was a person who had seen the world, so he was able to calm down.
"I have money, how much do you want before you are willing to let us go." Zhang Xiaotao said reluctantly calmly.
As for whether he would get stabbed by others, Zhang Xiaotao didn't care. As long as he was fine, money was something else.
The thin man's eyes lit up slightly when he heard what he said. Originally, he was really not prepared to get money out of these people who were obviously students.
Just like what he said just now, he is just planning to sell his organs.
But now there seems to be extra income.
"One million dollars per person!" the thin man said, raising a finger.
The other students nearby were frightened and cried when they heard this. How could they have so much money? One million dollars is no small sum.
Zhang Xiaotao breathed a sigh of relief and signaled to the other students beside him not to worry, "Okay, but how can you guarantee that you will let us go?"
When the thin man heard this, he was stunned. Did he agree so happily
"Boy, are you rich?" the thin man asked in surprise.
There are eight people here, which is eight million dollars.
Judging from the meaning of Zhang Xiaotao's words just now, it was obvious that he had to pay for it alone.
In fact, even if other students were rich, Zhang Xiaotao would not let them pay because he was the one who proposed this graduation trip.
Although he just made a suggestion at the time and did not ask these people to follow him, after all, it was him who spoke first and everyone followed him.
Several other students also looked at Zhang Xiaotao with some surprise at this time. Zhang Xiaotao did not behave like such a rich person before.
Most of the money for this graduation trip came from some part-time jobs they had done before, so it was considered a budget trip.
This is also the reason why these gangsters did not intend to ask for ransom at first.
Zhang Xiaotao said honestly: "I don't have money, but my family has money."
"Haha, are you the legendary rich second generation? After hearing what you said, I changed my mind. Ten million dollars per person." The thin man suddenly said like a lion.
Zhang Xiaotao also calmed down completely at this time. This was because he had never seen such a scene before, and no one knew whether these people would shoot directly.
But now that it's time to bargain, and since these people are greedy, everything can be discussed.
Zhang Xiaotao said: "We can negotiate money, but you have to promise to let us go."
"You can rest assured on this. As long as the money is given, we will definitely let him go." The thin man said as if you believe me.
Zhang Xiaotao sneered in his heart, but he said: "I am willing to believe you, but you must also show some sincerity.
And I can make the decision for one million. I have some pocket money in my hand, but for ten million, I need to call home. "
As soon as these words came out, the thin man's eyes changed. He knew that someone who could spend so much money probably had some energy.
But these are obviously Asians, and it doesn't work for them, no matter how rich they are.
And the money was really too much. They didn't expect that they could get such a huge harvest by just kidnapping some people.
"Okay, but you'd better not play any tricks." The thin man discussed with the others and then said.
Not long after, someone brought a satellite phone, Zhang Xiaotao named a number and dialed it.
"Who?" A deep voice came over.
"Grandpa, it's me, Taotao." Zhang Xiaotao's voice was a little excited, but he quickly calmed down.
Zhang Ran looked at the number, his eyes changed, and then he said with a smile: "It's Taotao, what's the matter with calling me so late? Didn't you say you were traveling before?"
Zhang Xiaotao told the story. In order not to make these gangsters suspicious, Zhang Xiaotao always chatted in English.
They all understood it, which really put these gangsters at ease.
After Zhang Ran listened, his tone didn't seem to change much, he just said: "Everyone, I can give you the money, you prepare your account number, I will transfer the money here, and it can be completed in about a day.
But the premise is that you need to ensure the safety of these children, and no child can be in danger. "
The thin man smiled and said: "Of course, you have to be honest when doing business. We can guarantee that."
It seems that he knows that he can't negotiate terms with these people for the time being, so Zhang Ran said: "Okay, if that's the case, then I believe you. One day later, I will first transfer 40 million US dollars to you, and then you will let the others go. How about I transfer another 40 million to you and let my grandson go?"
This seems very sincere, after all, they have their grandson in their hands.
The thin man thought for a moment and said, "No problem."
Of course, he has no intention of actually letting these people go. If he catches them back then, he might be able to make another sum of money.
... ... ... ... ... ...
In the middle of the night, Zhang Xiaotao and others were leaning on each other, and they couldn't sleep at this time, "Brother Tao, this..."
Some people wanted to say something, but in the end they didn't know what to say. They also heard what Zhang Ran said before. They wanted to let them go first and let Zhang Xiaotao face the greatest danger alone.
This made them both moved and worried.
Zhang Xiaotao was completely relaxed at this time, "Don't worry, it's okay."
"But what if those people don't keep their promises?" Someone asked worriedly.
Zhang Xiaotao lowered his head and smiled silently, as if waiting for something. Soon he seemed to hear some movement.
"My grandpa doesn't expect them to keep their promise." Zhang Xiaotao's voice was so soft that a few people didn't hear him clearly.
But soon, they heard a burst of gunfire inside. It didn't take long, maybe three minutes at most, before it disappeared.
Before anyone could react, the door was pushed open violently. In everyone's frightened eyes, a guy who didn't look like someone to be trifled with came in.
Seeing the person coming, Zhang Xiaotao was truly relieved and said, "Uncle Scorpion, I didn't expect you to be here."
The person who came was Scorpion, and Scorpion finally returned to this place that he was already familiar with and couldn't give up at all.
Xie Zi smiled and said: "Not only am I here, Brother Cheng and the others are also here, just waiting outside.
Tell me, why didn't you tell us when you came? If something goes wrong, I won't be able to explain it to Mr. Zhang. "
Zhang Xiaotao rubbed his head in embarrassment and said, "I'm just thinking about traveling, so there's no need to go to such trouble."
"Okay, you guys go ahead. The outside has been packed up. I'll meet you for a drink when I have time," Scorpion said.
Zhang Xiaotao nodded, knowing that this was not the time for small talk. Under the shocked eyes of many classmates, they left.
At this time, there was a group of heavily armed people standing outside. As for their kidnapper, none of them was seen.
But everyone seemed to understand something, and looked at Zhang Xiaotao with unconscious fear.
Zhang Xiaotao noticed this and sighed slightly, but quickly pretended that nothing happened.
Anyway, after this time, he will need to take over slowly, and he will have much less time to get together with his classmates in the future.
"Taotao, is your family something..." One classmate really couldn't hold it back.
Zhang Xiaotao said speechlessly: "What are you thinking about? Our family is a serious businessman, but the business is a little big."
The students were speechless. Is this called a serious businessman? It's just a bit big.
After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiaotao also looked outside. He actually didn't know how big his business was, but now he had a vague feeling.
