After a 13-hour long flight, Hu Mingchen and his team finally rounded most of the Pacific Ocean and landed at ---O'Hare International Airport, one of the busiest airports in the United States.

The reason why it said that it circled most of the Pacific Ocean was that the plane did not follow a straight line in the center of the Pacific Ocean, but first flew north, and then crossed the Bering Strait along the coastline, and once entered Canadian airspace and finally reached Chicago on the shore of Lake Michigan.

For the city of Chicago, Hu Mingchen did not know before, only knew that it is one of the top three cities in the United States, if there is an impression associated with it, it is probably the "May Day" Labor Day that we have a holiday every year.

The school once introduced the origin of May Day, which mentioned that the birthplace of May Day is Chicago, the largest city in the Midwest of the United States, that is, on May 1, 1886, hundreds of thousands of workers in Chicago held a general strike, the goal is to fight for an eight-hour working day, and finally the strike won a great victory, and the later May Day was established to commemorate this day.

Coming out of the airport, a relatively familiar white man greeted him, and it was a lady.

"Hello Mr. Hu, do you remember me? I'm Anna. This white lady was wearing a dress, and her proud figure was outlined very clearly and charmingly by this light-colored tight dress, and she took the initiative to come to greet Hu Mingchen when she saw her.

"Hello Miss Anna, we met last time at Pearl, of course I remember you. Hu Mingchen said.

Last time, when Schultz went to Mingzhu to talk to Hu Mingchen about investment cooperation, he brought a large number of people, and this Miss Anna was one of the entourage.

"Hehe, thank you, Mr. Hu, Mr. Schultz sent me to pick you up, please come with me, the vehicle is already waiting outside. Miss Anna said politely.

In the last contact, Anna knew that Mr. Schultz cared about and valued Hu Mingchen very much, so she became polite along with her attitude towards Hu Mingchen.

Although the Americans are arrogant, they are also more realistic, and whoever has the strength and can benefit themselves will pay attention to whom, otherwise, they are very likely to abandon it and will not look at it with a straight eye.

Hu Mingchen and they followed Miss Anna out of the airport, there were already three Lincoln cars parked outside, under the greeting of Miss Anna, Hu Mingchen and they pedaled, and then the three cars drove out and set off along the highway in the direction of the Field Museum of Natural History.

Hu Mingchen and the others are not going to the Field Museum of Natural History, but Schultz's stay in Chicago is near the museum.

Not long after the vehicle left the airport, the mobile phone of Jiang Yucai, which Hu Mingchen was carrying, rang.

Hu Mingchen picked it up and saw that it was the number of the kidnapper he received yesterday.

Anna and Hu Mingchen were in the same car, and they were next to each other, Hu Mingchen looked at his mobile phone, and then looked at Anna, wanting to answer.

"Mr. Hu, don't worry, I'm a tight-lipped person, no matter what you say, I will treat it as if I didn't hear it. Anna saw Hu Mingchen's concerns, so she took the initiative to say.

Hu Mingchen thought about it, just in this small space, how could there be any privacy at all. And since Schultz sent her, it means that she can at least be trusted.

In fact, Anna herself is Schultz's life assistant and secretary, and such an identity suggests that she naturally belongs to one of Schultz's most trusted people.

So Hu Mingchen took a deep breath and picked up his mobile phone: "Hey......"

"What do you mean, you bastard? Fool us? Don't you want to give money? If you don't want to give money, then I'm going to sink your sister to Lake Michigan right now, and I'm going to make him worse than dead before that. As soon as Hu Mingchen said a word, the other party vented a lot of anger.

"Sir, sir, please don't get excited, okay? Calm down, we don't mean to play with you, and we don't intend to withhold the money, so please don't get excited, and don't hurt my sister. Hu Mingchen hurriedly reassured the other party, for fear that the other party would really do something to hurt Hu Yandie.

"Then why can't I get through on the phone? For seven or eight hours in a row, why can't I get through on the phone? You're playing tricks on me, huh? Anyone who plays tricks on us is not going to end well, you know? Those people are shit. The man on the other end of the line roared.

When the other party said this, Hu Mingchen understood what the problem was.

Hu Mingchen: On the plane, all electronic devices, especially mobile phones, should be adjusted to airplane mode or turned off directly. In such a situation, the kidnapper's phone call naturally cannot come in.

The other party originally wanted to confirm how the money was prepared, but this phone number could not be called from the left and right, and in this case, the other party was naturally angry. They didn't think that Hu Mingchen and they didn't care about it at the beginning, and thought that something had happened, but after a long time, all kinds of inexplicable ideas naturally breeded.

"Sir, your idea doesn't exist, we're scraping together money everywhere, and I don't know when the phone went wrong, and it was just fixed. Didn't we say 24 hours? We won't break our promise, we will pay for my sister, life is more important than money. Hu Mingchen casually made up a reason.

Anyway, now that the phone can be reached, it doesn't matter why you can't get in before.

Sure enough, after the other party heard that Hu Mingchen and they had been scraping together money and decided to pay for the ransom, they really didn't care about the past episodes.

"Is the money ready, a million dollars, not a penny, hurry up and send me the money. ”

"Sir, it's a little bit close, a million dollars is still a little bit short, please give me a little more time, the money is ready, and we'll pay you right away, please. Hu Mingchen said in a deep voice.

Hu Mingchen wasn't ready yet, and he didn't know anything about the other party, so he had to stall for time. Anyway, the 24-hour deadline has not yet arrived, and for the sake of money, the other party will definitely be tolerant.

"Why hasn't it been so long since I got it together, how many are there now? After a pause, it was clear that the other party's need for money was quite urgent.

The other party wanted to remit some money first, which was a bit unexpected by Hu Mingchen, and he didn't expect this to happen.

But even if it was abrupt, it couldn't be difficult for Hu Mingchen, as soon as his eyes rolled, he immediately responded: "It's only 100,000 US dollars...... Don't worry, don't worry, one million dollars will definitely be available today, and in two or three hours, there will be a sum of nine hundred thousand dollars, and someone has already agreed and is now doing it. ”

As soon as he heard that he had only made $100,000 now, the other party was discouraged, and when he heard Hu Mingchen say that $900,000 was about to arrive, the other party's spirit was raised.

One hundred thousand dollars is too little for the other party.

"Sir, why don't I give you 100,000 dollars now?" Hu Mingchen then asked tentatively.

"What's the use of $100,000, wait until you've scraped together a million dollars. Hurry up, there is a limit to our patience, and if we say 24 hours, we will do 24 hours, and we will not wait for the expiration date. And if we can't get through to you, then we can't guarantee that we're going to do anything. The other party was very disdainful of the $100,000 prepared in advance, and once again emphasized Hu Mingchen.

The reason why Hu Mingchen only said that he was ready for 100,000 US dollars was that he thought of the possibility that the other party would not pay the funds in batches, one-tenth of which was indeed too little.

Of course, Hu Mingchen quoted a price of 100,000 US dollars, and he also wanted to test the other party. If the other party even wants to get his hands on 100,000 US dollars first, then at least it means that the other party is a minion.

Hu Mingchen hopes that Hu Yandie will fall into the hands of the real gang boss, in comparison, these people are a little more honest. If it falls into the hands of ordinary minions, the safety factor is low.

"No problem, sir, that won't happen, I promise, do as you ask. However, I would like to ask if I could listen to my sister and let me know that she was safe. After Hu Mingchen hurriedly promised to guarantee, he immediately made a request.

"Don't be verbose, listen to her until you've scraped together a million dollars. If you don't finish on time, you'll never hear her. The other party categorically rejected Hu Mingchen's request, and after finishing speaking, he hung up the phone very rudely.

After Hu Mingchen hung up the phone, Anna raised her hand and looked at her watch: "Time is enough, this phone call, you can roughly know where the other party is." ”

"What are you talking about, can you know where the other party is?" Hu Mingchen was taken aback when he heard this.

"Yes, Mr. Hu, in order to help you, Mr. Schultz found someone to listen to the phone number you gave, if the call time is time, then it can't be located, you just had a long call, it should be no problem. Miss Anna nodded and said to Hu Mingchen.

Hu Mingchen's eyes suddenly straightened, and he thought that Schultz was just helping to find out the news, but he didn't expect him to help so much, and directly helped to play with the monitoring, which was a bit incredible.

Technically, phone interception is not difficult, however, generally only law enforcement can do this, and others do it illegally.

Hu Mingchen really didn't expect Schultz to do such an outrageous thing for himself, which moved him, but also felt that this favor was really a bit too much.

A short time after Hu Mingchen hung up the phone, the car drove into a small lakeside garden north of the public beach, not far from the Field Museum of Natural History.
