"Even I was almost bluffed by you. Aren't you worried that we will tear up tickets now?"
"After you tear up your tickets, your boss will make an anonymous phone call to the police and say he knows who you two are. Then life sentences in prison are waiting for you, ah, I just don't know if the state where you two are still has the death penalty. "
"Then what is Master Osborne's opinion?"
"My opinion is that we cooperate. Anyway, you can't get the money from Oz's family. Why don't you think about how to get your commission back."
"How to cooperate?"
"In turn blackmail your boss. You know he hired you, so even if you two blackmail him, he can't kick you."
The two kidnappers looked at each other.
"You can test your boss again to see if he will tell you the address for paying the ransom." Chris tilted his head and seemed to think for a while, "Or you can test again and say that the hostages are sick and you want to go to the pharmacy to buy it." A little medicine. I bet the other party will tell you to watch the hostage obediently. It is best for the hostage to die of illness, so that you don’t have to tear up your votes. If I die, you will be charged with all the crimes.”
Sure enough, one of the kidnappers took out his mobile phone and planned to make a call. He still talked in Arabic for a long time. The kidnapper's emotions became more and more agitated, but of course he was perfunctory in the end.
"How is it?" Another kidnapper rushed forward impatiently.
"He still wants us to wait."
"Damn, where is the time wasted like this!"
The two chatted in Arabic for a long time, and Chris was still leaning against the wall. He knew that the two guys had been shaken.
After a long time, one of them finally asked Chris, "If we blackmail that guy, how will this end?"
"It's very simple, that guy won't call the police, and the police will reveal his identity. So you can definitely get the money. When you get the money, send a text message to my father on a disposable mobile phone and ask them to come pick me up That's fine. I haven't seen your faces, so there's nothing to worry about."
"But that guy has been looking for someone to contact us. None of us know who he is?"
"He's determined to eat you, isn't he?" Chris's lips curled up, "But I know who he is. You just say that if he doesn't give you a ransom, you will not only take me Send him back to the Ozburn family himself, and take his daughter like a movie star."
"Daughter like a movie star?"
"Yes, he understands." Chris said, "I'm hungry."
"And pizza."
"I want to eat McDonald's."
One of the guys elbowed the other, "Go buy him."
That night, the two kidnappers actually called the contact person to polish Chris's idea, and sure enough, the other party was a little panicked.
"Hey, Master Ozborne, I didn't expect what you said to be true. When we said that you had a fever of over 40 degrees and wanted to buy some antipyretics for you at the pharmacy, that guy actually just asked us to drink more for you Just water, definitely don't go to the pharmacy and give away your identity. But... maybe he's just being cautious. But when we talk about his daughter who looks like a movie star, he really gets nervous."
"Then tell him on the next phone call that even in New York you have a lot of connections and they even have guns. Tell him the best way to get this over with is to have the money ready or they'll be in a constant state of panic .Even if the two of you go to jail, your brother will not make it easy for him, whether in Washington or New York." Chris said lightly.
"Honestly, you are a better kidnapper than either of us."
"I'm sleepy and want to sleep, give me a pillow."
"no problem."
Under the current circumstances, apart from not taking off Chris' blindfold or untying the ropes on his hands and feet, the two kidnappers could be considered responsive to him.
And that night, Ozzy's family had guests, Elizabeth's parents, who planned to take Elizabeth back to New York.
"I thought Liz had a good time here, and Griffith's education is also very good. Are you sure you want to take her back to New York?" Mr. Osborne sniffed a cigar, because Osborne Mrs. Ozborne is quitting cigars as Mrs. is not well enough to smell the smoke.
"Brother, you should understand my worry. Chris hasn't come back since something happened, so I would rather keep Liz by my side than let Liz stay in Washington." Mr. Ozborn's sister, Mrs. Taylor sincerely explain.
"Oh," Mr. Osborne smiled playfully, "with a lot of bodyguards. I'm not even that exaggerated to Chris."
But Mr. Taylor seemed impatient to talk, "Yeah, that's why Chris was kidnapped. We will take Liz back tonight, so that you can also focus on finding Chris."
"Yeah, where's Liz?" Mrs. Taylor looked around for a week, "Are you sleeping?"
"Oh, I sent her to a safe place, because of Chris's experience." Mr. Osborne changed his posture, "I wasn't sure who took my Chris, but you guys are here, So I'm more sure of my guess."
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Taylor glanced at her husband, then stood up.
Mr. Osborne waved to George, "Take my sister to chat with my wife. I have something to talk to my sister-in-law."
After Mrs. Taylor had gone, Mr. Osborne put away all his smiles.
"Elizabeth must stay with me from today until she is eighteen."
"Why?"
"No reason, I will feel more at ease seeing her under my jurisdiction. Also, no matter what method you use, my Chris will return to me safely within two days." Mr. Osborne Stand up and walk in front of Taylor, "I should tell you, Chris is my only son, anyone who hurts him is the enemy of the entire Osborne family. By the way, even if Chris is gone, I I have already made a will to hand over the family assets to an independent charitable foundation, and when I think about it, I have the same public interest as Bill Gates, and I am proud of myself.”
That night, the kidnappers got a call and agreed to their blackmail terms, much to the delight of the two idiots.
"Master Ozborne, we'll let you go home tomorrow afternoon with the money."
"It doesn't matter, happy cooperation." Chris twitched the corner of his mouth.
The next day, the two kidnappers took the money at a designated location and, as they drove out of Washington, sent a text message to Mr. Osborne explaining where Chris was being held. When their car was driving on the highway, suddenly countless police cars chased them, and they were suddenly besieged on all sides.
Chris was successfully rescued by the police, and Mr. Osborne watched his son get off the police car calmly.
"You are so smart that you can guess who wants to kidnap you." Mr. Osborne accompanied his son to the police station to make a statement.
"That's why I don't like this family." Chris paused, "Where's Yifei? How is he?"
"He's still in the hospital."
"Is it serious?" Chris looked at his father and frowned, "I want to go to the hospital first."
"Don't worry, he only has a broken bone and a mild concussion. These are not major problems." Mr. Osborne saw his son's reaction, and suddenly understood what he should say, "After the plaster cast is removed, he will He is fully recovered and has no effect on his ability to compete in fencing."
"I'm going to court."
"Appear in court? I know the police are investigating your uncle, but I don't intend to make you appear in court."
"I mean those two idiots, they injured Yifei."
Mr. Osborne was stunned, "If you insist, I have no objection."
"Better get a mean lawyer and keep them both in jail forever."
"... I never knew 'mean' could be used as a compliment."
Coming out of the police station, Chris went straight to the hospital.
When he came to the door of the ward, he stopped again. Occasionally, a nurse pushing a cart passed by in the corridor. She glanced at Chris and wondered why the child was standing at the door without pushing the door.
"Mom, is there any news about Chris?"
"Mr. Osborne said that if there is any news about Chris, he will let you know as soon as possible."
"Mom, have you watched TV... 48 hours is the prime time to rescue the hostages, and it's almost 72 hours now..." Lin Yifei's voice made Chris's nerves tremble.
The door was pushed open, and Chris stood at the door, "I'm back."
Lin Yifei leaned against the head of the bed, watched Chris with his mouth slightly open, and it took a long time before he spoke: "Chris..."
"Are you a fool? I told you to go, why didn't you go?" Chris slowly walked in front of Lin Yifei, his eyes fixed on Lin Yifei's right arm which was put on plaster.
"Can you stop looking at my plaster cast? You're almost seeing a hole in it." Lin Yifei looked at Chris's face, "Can I touch you? I've been waiting for you for more than two days, but I've been There is no news about you. Now that you appear in front of me, I wonder if I have taken the tranquilizer prescribed by the doctor and am dreaming."
Chris walked over slowly and sat by Lin Yifei's bed.
"You two have a chat. I'll go back and prepare dinner. Xiaofei wants to eat lion's head." Mother Lin stood up with a smile and patted Chris on the shoulder. , I am also worried."
"Thank you, Auntie."
After Mama Lin left, the hospital returned to tranquility.
"You said you wanted to touch me to see if it was a dream." Chris asked with his head down.
