Feng Zhenqing's tone clearly meant that if I called the police, my parents' lives would be in danger. But Feng Zhenyang had already called the police! My heart suddenly tightened, and I looked up at Feng Zhenqing with trembling eyes: "I have already called the police..."
"Oh no!" Feng Zhenqing's face turned pale in an instant: "There's no point in calling the police! Even if we really find out the mastermind, there will be someone to be the scapegoat!"
Originally, I was nervous when I mentioned this matter, and when Feng Zhenqing said this, I became even more terrified. If the other party was not after money, if the other party was really a member of the Feng family, then things would be complicated.
I didn't care to confirm Feng Zhenqing's identity, and asked him in a panic: "What should we do now? The other party asked me to prepare 20 million within three days, otherwise they would kill me. The money is already prepared, but if the other party doesn't want money..."
I was panicking, and Feng Zhenqing was also anxious. His face was full of anxiety. He frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Let's go find Lin Ruoxue now. We have no choice but to find her first and then give her a taste of her own medicine."
Wait, Feng Zhenqing is saying that the mastermind behind the kidnapping of my parents is Lin Ruoxue! Just this afternoon, I made Lin Ruoxue lose miserably! If my parents were really in her hands, she... what kind of crazy things would she do!
I didn't dare to think further and impatiently wanted to dial Feng Zhenyang's number, while Feng Zhenqing was calling someone on the side.
"Hello." Feng Zhenyang's slightly cold voice came from the phone: "What's wrong?"
"Feng Zhenyang! Tell the police not to take any action for now! Is Lin Ruoxue with you? Or, can you find her?" I was extremely anxious and no longer cared about what kind of terrible relationship there was between Feng Zhenyang and Lin Ruoxue. I just wanted my parents to be safe.
Feng Zhenyang was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "What happened? What's going on?"
"Oh, don't worry about what happened. I don't have time to explain so much to you now. Just find Lin Ruoxue as soon as possible!" I spoke very quickly, almost getting angry.
My mind is now filled with Lin Ruoxue's resentful eyes. I am very scared. I am really scared to the extreme. I don't know if Feng Zhenyang really doesn't understand or is pretending not to understand. He is still asking me: "What's going on? What do you want to do with her?"
"She might be the mastermind behind the kidnapping of my parents!" I didn't have time to explain so much to Feng Zhenyang, so I just said it directly regardless of whether he believed it or not.
He was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Jiaying, you are overthinking it! No matter how bad she is, she would do something like that! Who told you that?"
"I didn't hear it from anyone!" I didn't intend to tell him that these were all told to me by Feng Zhenqing.
In his eyes, Feng Zhenqing was a dark-minded outsider who was not on the same level as the Feng family. To put it bluntly, he looked down on this cousin who had no blood relationship with them. He thought Feng Zhenqing had no right to compete with them for property. In fact, he disliked Feng Zhenqing very much. If I told him that it was Feng Zhenqing who said that, he would definitely tell me that it was Feng Zhenqing who was trying to sow discord.
But the problem now is that I didn’t even tell him that it was Feng Zhenqing who said that, but he already didn’t believe me. He even told me stubbornly: “Jiaying, please don’t be suspicious, okay? Xiaoxue is… she wouldn’t do such a thing anyway, and she doesn’t have the guts! Don’t worry, just trust me, okay…”
Feng Zhenyang didn't believe what I said. Even though something terrible happened today, he still shamelessly protected Lin Ruoxue in front of me. I felt that it would be useless for me to say anything to him, so I just hung up and turned to ask Feng Zhenqing next to me: "How is it, do you have any news?"
"Lin Ruoxue didn't answer the phone." Feng Zhenqing was very anxious and held the phone tightly. Perhaps seeing that I was already very anxious, he pretended to be calm and said, "It doesn't matter. If we can't find her, we can look for her mother."
"What I'm afraid of is that this mother and son are birds of a feather." Feng Zhenqing couldn't help himself. "If that's the case, things will be even more difficult to handle. I'll call Grandpa first. Did you save the kidnapper's phone number you received before? Call him quickly and calm him down first."
I was at a loss of what to do, so I had to follow Feng Zhenqing's instructions and dialed my home phone with a try-and-see attitude. Beep, beep, beep... The phone was always unanswered, and it seemed that the kidnapper was no longer at my home. Or, in other words, when he first called me, he might not have been at my home, but was talking to me through call forwarding.
The call forwarding function of our home phone is connected to Zhao Yicheng's mobile phone. Since I haven't used it much in the past two years, I haven't changed my phone number. Is this related to Zhao Yicheng? I didn't think too much and dialed Zhao Yicheng's mobile phone number anxiously.
But after a long time, no one answered the phone, and I became even more panicked. I had no choice but to call Shen Shiqi, perhaps he had Zhao Yicheng's contact information.
When I talked to Shen Shiqi, I didn't dare to tell him that his parents were kidnapped. I just asked him if he had Zhao Yicheng's contact information and told him that I had lost something this morning and I didn't know if Zhao Yicheng had picked it up. Shen Shiqi didn't doubt it and immediately gave me Zhao Yicheng's number.
When Zhao Yicheng received my call, he was surprised at first, and then he started to mock me: "What's wrong, ex-wife? It's not easy to marry into a wealthy family, right? I told you this morning and you didn't believe me, but now you know to call me!"
I didn't bother to waste time talking to him, so I got straight to the point: "Zhao Yicheng, what happened to your previous number? Why didn't anyone answer it?"
"What! I changed my number and you can't find me, are you unhappy?" Zhao Yicheng was as long-winded as Tang Seng: "My phone was stolen by a thief two days ago, and I've been thinking about canceling it these two days!"
"Can you contact Lin Ruoxue now?" I thought that Zhao Yicheng and Lin Ruoxue had some kind of collusion, so he would definitely be able to find Lin Ruoxue.
Zhao Yicheng could certainly contact Lin Ruoxue, but he habitually asked, "Why do you want to contact Lin Ruoxue? And isn't Feng Zhenyang her cousin? Why don't you just contact him?"
"My parents have been kidnapped, and she might be the mastermind behind this. I provoked her this afternoon, and I'm worried that my parents will be in danger. If you can get in touch with her, let me do anything for you. I, Shen Jiaying, will owe you a favor from now on! Please help me get in touch with her as soon as possible, and try to delay her!" I panicked and told Zhao Yicheng everything.
Zhao Yicheng is a shameless person in relationships. He cheated openly and regretted it as if he was wronged. He is even an extremely selfish bastard who only loves himself and no one else. But now he is willing to believe me, especially when it comes to matters of life and death, he will believe me even more.
Without wasting any time, he immediately said calmly and seriously: "Don't panic, I will contact her immediately and try to delay her. We will meet at the old place."
"Also, tell Shen Shiqi as soon as possible. If something happens to your parents and you don't tell him, he will probably hate you for the rest of his life." After living together for more than ten years, Zhao Yicheng knows me very well and can guess that I had hidden the fact that my parents were kidnapped from Shen Shiqi.
I didn't dare tell Shen Shiqi, I was worried that he would be impulsive, and if he was impulsive, he would also encounter unexpected events, so I still didn't tell Shen Shiqi. After hanging up the phone, I hurried to the place where I had agreed to meet with Zhao Yicheng.
Feng Zhenqing, who had just hung up the phone, said he wanted to go with me. Feng Zhenqing drove a very ordinary silver Audi from where he lived, and I quickly got in the car. Feng Zhenqing said to me while driving: "I have asked my grandfather, my aunt went to a hotel near the head office for a social event today. Let's control my aunt before we go to see Lin Ruoxue. Lin Ruoxue is very shady, and her only weakness is her mother!"
"Okay, I'll do as you say!" There is no other way now. I really can't think of any other way. Lin Ruoxue kidnapped my parents, and I kidnapped her mother. She can sue me or do whatever she wants. In short, rescuing my parents is the most important thing!
But the situation was worse than Feng Zhenqing and I had imagined. Before we found Lin Ruoxue's mother, we received a call from the kidnapper. It was that familiar voice again, and his tone was extremely vicious: "Didn't I tell you not to call the police? Why did you call the police?"
"I didn't call the police!" I refused to admit it. I didn't know what the relationship between the kidnapper and Lin Ruoxue was, but I knew that refusing to admit it now was the safest thing for my parents.
While denying it, I also had to calm the other party down: "I really didn't call the police. The money you asked for is already prepared. Please don't hurt my parents. I promise I won't call the police! The money will be sent to you soon..."
"Don't try to trick me! If you didn't call the police, where did the police outside come from?" The other party was extremely excited: "Since you are so unkind, don't blame me for being unjust! If you don't give me a way to live, you can't blame me! Let's die together!"
I was stunned. What was going on? How long had Feng Zhenyang called the police? And for the safety of my parents, the police would not have surrounded them so blatantly. If they alerted the kidnapper and aroused his emotions, he would really kill my parents.
Now... what should I do? Negotiate with him! Yes! Negotiate with him. I immediately admitted that I had called the police and said carefully, "Don't get excited. I'll ask them to leave immediately. You... you must not touch my parents. I will give you as much money as you want. You must... you must not touch them!"
Before I could finish my words, the other party interrupted me angrily, "Do you think I will believe you? You are full of lies! You said you wouldn't call the police but you secretly called the police! How do I know if you would have the police lie in wait nearby? I tell you, you called the police, you can't blame me! Anyway, I have nowhere else to go, I won't kill myself, it's not bad to drag them down with me before I die!"
"Dad! You can't do such evil things again!" Because of fear, I was more excited than him, almost hysterical. At the last moment, I finally recognized the other person's voice. It was none other than my biological father Li Nan! (To be continued)
