Chapter 138: Exchange of Goods
Zhou Jinyan was not comforted by Jing Xi's words, her body trembled slightly, her little face turned a little whiter, and she looked very scared.
Her teeth clenched her lower lip, staring at Jing Ci for a long time before she made up her mind to speak: "I'm sure you won't let me have an accident." β
Jing Ci just nodded faintly, "You go back to the room to clean up first, and I'll come back to you later." β
Then, he walked out with his phone.
Immediately after, everyone left the room, and Zhou Jinyan's frightened look disappeared, replaced by a vicious smile.
She pulled out her phone and put it to her ear.
Jing Xi agreed to the exchange and proceeded as planned. β
ββ
After Jing Ci left the room, he directly used the power in his hands to contact the police station.
He asked the police department to pick a few people to follow them secretly, and he didn't wait for the time to do it, and he had to keep everyone safe.
After Jing Xi finished telling this, he did not rush back to the room, but took out a cigarette from his pocket.
He bit it in his mouth and didn't light it, he knew that Lin Nanxian didn't like the smell of smoke, and he hadn't smoked for a long time since he lived with her.
Eventually, he threw the cigarette in the trash and walked back to his room.
Zhou Jinyan had just freshened up, she looked at Jing Ci and pretended to be calm and showed a smile.
She swallowed her saliva and said with some uneasiness, "You said it, you won't let me be hurt." β
Jing Xi didn't reply, bowing slightly.
The other side.
Lin Nanxian woke up slowly, found himself in a strange place, and felt a little flustered in his heart.
Didn't she sleep in the hotel with Jing Xi?
How did she wake up and come to this place, did she still have the habit of sleepwalking at night?
But Lin Nanxian quickly calmed down, she looked around carefully, and learned that she was in a closed room, and the things around her looked very shabby, presumably this place had been abandoned for a long time.
Her hands were tied with thick ropes, and she must have been kidnapped.
"Crunchβ"
There was a screeching sound from the door, Lin Nanxian looked up, and what he saw was a man, he couldn't see his appearance clearly against the sun, and vaguely saw that his face seemed to be wearing a mask.
It's just that his figure looks a little familiar, and she can't remember where she has seen it for a moment.
The man walked up to Lin Nanxian with a bowl of rice and squatted down to look at her.
"Awake?"
He put the bowl in his hand on the ground, and then helped Lin Nanxian's body up.
"Would you like something to eat?"
Lin Nanxian stared at the man vigilantly, and on the premise that he hadn't figured out the situation yet, it was best not to anger the person in front of him.
She glanced at the rice with her spare eyes, it looked quite fresh, and it was steaming, indicating that it had not been cooked for a long time.
It shows that this person still has a bit of a conscience and did not let her eat cold rice and rancid rice.
"Eat!"
Therefore, Lin Nanxian replied decisively, only by saving her physical strength can she have the energy to deal with what happens next, and she can't give up her life here for the sake of dignity.
Lin Nanxian thought that the man would untie the rope, but what she didn't expect was that he actually picked up the bowl and looked like he was going to feed her.
She's not a child anymore, so why do you need someone to feed her!
Lin Nanxian was very embarrassed at the moment, and even had a faint flush on his face, "That, can you help me untie the rope and I'll eat it myself?" You're looking at me here, I can't run away, right?"
The man ignored her, scooped a spoonful of rice to himself, and put it to Lin Nanxian's mouth, "Eat." β
She had no choice but to open her mouth and let the man feed her spoonful after spoonful.
Meanwhile.
Jing Ci drove the car to the agreed place, and after getting out of the car, he took out the cash prepared by Jing Ruan in advance from the trunk and walked over with Zhou Jinyan.
It is said to be an abandoned factory, but it is well equipped.
Jing Ci walked over and knocked on the iron door, and soon a man opened the door, and looked behind them with a probe, making sure that no one turned his eyes to Zhou Jinyan.
He looked up and down, and took out his mobile phone to compare it to confirm that it was correct before letting people in.
"Alright, come in. β
Zhou Jinyan was very scared from the moment she stepped into the abandoned factory, and she grabbed Jing Xi's arm tremblingly.
Jing Ci just glanced at her faintly and didn't say anything.
Lin Nanxian was brought up blindfolded, and the man with the mask saw Zhou Jinyan and briefly made eye contact with her.
"Pay with one hand, deliver with the other. β
He led Lin Nanxian to Jing Xi's side, and with the other hand he wanted to take the box containing cash.
With this sum of money, he can go abroad for a while after making this ticket.
In the next second, the siren suddenly sounded.
"Damn it. β
Jing Xi scolded secretly, and hurriedly pulled Lin Nanxian over, hugged him into his arms, and took a few steps back.
And Zhou Jinyan didn't react and fell into the hands of the kidnappers.
The police soon poured into the abandoned factory, and Jing Ci took a look, but it was not the person he had brought with him.
I saw a man who looked like a leader walking out and waving his hand.
"Catch them. β
"Wait, they have hostages, let's take them down first. β
Jing Xi helped Lin Nanxian tear off the strip of cloth covering her eyes, and she saw Zhou Jinyan who fell into the hands of the kidnappers, and hurriedly said.
But the man continued to give orders as if he had not heard her.
"Don't care, catch this group of people, track them for so long, and finally find a chance to catch them, how can you let them go so easily. β
The kidnapper was so frightened that he retreated, and he put the dagger on Zhou Jinyan's neck, "Don't come here, or I'll kill her." β
Jing Xi patted Lin Nanxian's hand soothingly, and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, just leave it to me." β
He walked behind the group of policemen, and just when the kidnappers wanted to make a move, he rushed over with lightning speed, knocked off the dagger in his hand, and pulled Zhou Jinyan and pushed him behind him.
"As I said, I won't let anyone have a problem. β
But the dagger was too close, and Zhou Jinyan's neck was inevitably cut a little.
She watched with a calm face as the police wiped out the kidnappers, and when she caught a glimpse of Lin Nanxian coming over, she immediately changed her look to be scared.
"Thank you for being willing to come to my rescue, now that you're safe, you're still injured, I'll take you to the hospital. β
Lin Nanxian solemnly thanked Zhou Jinyan, although she didn't like her as a person, but this time she really saved herself.
Zhou Jinyan did not refuse and nodded.
Jing Ci drove them to the hospital, first asked Zhou Jinyan to bandage the wounds, and then asked Lin Nanxian to do a full body physical examination.
He then drove to the police station.
The kidnappers are being interrogated one by one.
"Someone must have instructed them behind them, did they ask?"
Jing Ci found a familiar policeman and asked.
"This group of people has a very tight mouth, and they must have done it themselves. β
He shook his head, apparently not asking anything.
Jing Ci thought about it and went out to make a call to the company's technicians.
The police station had the identity information of these kidnappers, and he directly asked the technicians to check who they had been in contact with recently, especially if there were transfer records.
Then I found out that they had been in contact with Gu Zeren.
It turned out to be him.
Jing Ci told the police what he had found, and then asked the technicians to locate Gu Zeren's location, and someone immediately dispatched to arrest him.
Soon Gu Zeren was escorted back to the police station.
"Why did you kidnap Zhou Jinyan?"
Jing Xi asked Zhou Jinyan not Lin Nanxian, indicating that he believed in kidnapping the wrong person.
Gu Zeren lowered his eyes, the first thing he thought of when he was caught was that Zhou Jinyan betrayed him, and now it seems that Jing Xi didn't know.
He wiped out the look in his eyes, raised his head and curled the corners of his lips mockingly.
"The kidnapped person is obviously Mr. Jing's little lover, how can Mr. Jing still have the strength to care about other women?"
He took a bite and a look, and he was full of sarcasm.
"Who told you to kidnap you?"
Jing Ci was not provoked, knocked on the table with his index finger, and continued to ask.
"Why should I tell you?"
Seeing that the ridicule was useless, Gu Zeren began to shut his mouth, and his attitude became impatient.
He sat there, like I just wouldn't say, what can you do to me.
The corners of Jing Xi's lips curled slightly, stood up, walked to his side, and put his hand on his shoulder.
"Do you want me to help you remember your life in prison, or do you want to feel it for yourself again? Let me tell you, you don't get out as easily as last time when you go in. β
Gu Zeren recalled the picture of entering the prison at the beginning, the oppressive environment, the law of the jungle, the ugly side of people, and the endless darkness.
"No, I don't want to go back!"
Suddenly, as if stimulated, his fingers pressed hard against the table, and blood flowed out, but he didn't realize it.
"I finally came out, I won't go back!"
His face was hideous, and the corners of his forehead were bruised, and his appearance looked very terrifying.
"Since you don't want to go back, then obediently explain the main messenger behind the scenes. β
Jing Xi's voice was full of bewilderment, he knew that Gu Zeren was able to come out, definitely with the help of external forces, but he never found a chance to ask.
Gu Zeren gradually calmed down, and his expression returned to normal.
Jing Ci was not in a hurry, waiting for him to speak.
It took a long time for him to speak slowly.
"It's Jing Lanyu. β
"Impossible!"
Jing Xi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he denied it.
Jing Lanyu is his third uncle, and he has always cared for him on weekdays, how could he instruct someone to calculate him.
"If you don't believe me, you can look it up. β
Gu Zeren didn't explain Zhou Jinyan, firstly, because she had her own handle in her hands, and it seemed that Jing Ci trusted her quite a lot, and now was not the time to tear her face.
Another point is that he has long wanted to get rid of Jing Lanyu's control, and there is obviously a very suitable opportunity in front of him.
He told everything he knew and concealed it from the others under Jing Lanyu's men.
After all, it was Jing Ci who let him go to prison in the first place, and he couldn't let him live too well.
Jing Xi's expression gradually sank, he didn't say a word, he didn't know what he was thinking.
