43. Kidnapping
The four of them went shopping together, and the two tall bodyguards in suits gave people a strong visual impact, and Zhou Xiaoqiang and Li Ting under their guardianship were defined as rich second generations by passers-by.
At first, Li Ting couldn't let go, but after getting used to it, she got used to the feeling of being noticed.
In the restaurant, Zhou Xiaoqiang said: "Arthur, Avery, we are already friends, don't be so restrained, in addition, I think you can change your outfits, is this suit the standard for bodyguards? Now that the weather is so hot, can you change into casual clothes? I think your muscles are more intimidating." ”
Arthur nodded, "No problem, Mr. Zhou, Avery has long felt hot." ”
Arthur and Avery took turns changing clothes, carrying suitcases with all kinds of equipment and even guns.
No one changed clothes for less than 2 minutes, and when they changed into casual clothes, the four of them sat together, not like the relationship between employers and bodyguards, but more like friends.
"It's so much more natural now, and there's no need to be so nervous. I repeat, you just need to take care of my girlfriend. ”
Arthur and Avory agreed.
Four people play in the Olympic capital, each scenic spot is a lot of people, this time is the time when the Chinese tour group is in full swing, the tourism output capacity is the world's first, there is no place that the footprints of the Chinese can not reach, as long as it is open to China, there must be Chinese footprints. The Olympic capital is a well-known tourist city, and there is an endless stream of tour groups from the mainland, resulting in queues in some places. This made Zhou Xiaoqiang and Li Ting a little interested, but fortunately, they were almost finished playing yesterday.
Li Ting said: "Xiaoqiang, do we really want to go to other casinos? Wouldn't this be too risky, haven't you seen it in the movie, a person wins too much money, and then is killed by others, I'm a little afraid." ”
Zhou Xiaoqiang just told Li Ting about his plan to go to another casino, and Li Ting reluctantly agreed.
Zhou Xiaoqiang comforted again: "This is the tourist season, and the Aodu authorities have made great efforts to manage public security, no problem." ”
Zhou Xiaoqiang took the three of them to a free bus to a casino called the Portuguese Gold Casino, which is the oldest and largest casino in Aodu, several times the size of the Galaxy Hotel, where there are many tourists who come here, but it is not crowded. Along with the casino, there are restaurants, bars, cafes and other casual places where you can relax your nerves after leaving the table.
After Zhou Xiaoqiang exchanged 1 million chips, he used a small basket as before, and walked around the hall with three people, stopping every time he went to a place, and leaving after winning the next few handfuls, about 20 minutes later, the chips in his basket had multiplied several times.
Arthur and Avery were hot-eyed, and those of them who used to lick blood on the tip of the knife were particularly keen on gambling, so they also wanted to exchange some chips to win money with Zhou Xiaoqiang's luck.
It's just that they are now working with Zhou Xiaoqiang, and their professional ethics have made them restrain their thoughts.
Zhou Xiaoqiang seemed to see their eagerness, so he said: "Arthur, Avery, don't be hot-eyed, you only see that I won money, don't you see those people who walked out in frustration? Some of those people even sold their houses and cars and have taken out loan sharks, don't you want to be like that? You do your job well, and I will give you dividends when I win." ”
Arthur said embarrassedly: "You misunderstand us Mr. Zhou, Avery and I don't like to gamble very much. He lied and took a pick-me-up with Avery, keeping an eye on his surroundings.
Their wandering behavior has been noticed by the ***** staff, but the technicians did not find any flaws in them, so there is no way to stop Zhou Xiaoqiang from winning.
There are dozens of slot machines here, there are dozens of tables in baccarat, and Fan Tan, Dragon and Tiger, Golden Flower, Sic Bo, Color Stack, Turntable, Bullfight, Pai Gow are also dazzling, waiters, gamblers, loan sharks wash code boys in an endless stream. After another twenty minutes or so, Zhou Xiaoqiang, who was walking through the various game areas, had doubled the chips in the basket again, and this speed made Arthur and Avery smack. They found that there were more than 1,000 chips in the basket of 10,000. This amount is enough for them to continue to undertake employers like Zhou Xiaoqiang for more than 1 year. But they are not often approached for protection, and sometimes they don't get a job for a month.
There were more chips in the basket, which was inconvenient to carry, so Zhou Xiaoqiang went to the main desk to replace the 10,000 chips with 50,000 chips, and the number of chips in the basket immediately shrank 5 times, but whenever Zhou Xiaoqiang bet, Arthur and Avery seemed to be more nervous than Zhou Xiaoqiang. Especially Zhou Xiaoqiang adopts the method of doubling investment, if he loses a few times, the amount of his bet will be relatively huge, sometimes a bet of one or two million, Arthur and Avery are sighing, this Oriental is rich.
After another hour, the chips in his basket were full again, this is a basket that can hold 1,000 chips, in less than two hours, Zhou Xiaoqiang actually won 50 million + with 1 million chips, this luck is simply not too rebellious. Arthur and Avery regretted their death in their hearts, they had known the work ethic of going to the, and the two of them exchanged some chips to bet with him, and they were estimated to be multimillionaires at the moment.
When Zhou Xiaoqiang went to redeem chips again, a sexy cheongsam beauty said with a smile: "This gentleman, you have already won 50 million in our hall, in fact, you can go to the VIP room to enjoy a cleaner way of entertainment." ”
Zhou Xiaoqiang said secretly, if he went to the VIP room, he would not be able to win too much at one time, but it is better to follow people's advice, otherwise it will be too faceless.
Zhou Xiaoqiang said: "Okay, I'm a little tired from walking around, please help me exchange 100,000 chips, I'm going to sit in the VIP room." ”
When Zhou Xiaoqiang changed 500 chips of 100,000 yuan, packed them in a transparent chip box, and was ready to walk into the VIP hall. Li Ting said: "Xiaoqiang, I may have drunk too much soup just now, I want to go to the toilet." ”
Zhou Xiaoqiang nodded, found a waitress, and asked her to lead Li Tingdao to the toilet to relieve her hands, while the three big men stood and waited at the entrance of the VIP hall. Actually, there is a toilet in the VIP room, but they don't know it.
Waiting left and right, Zhou Xiaoqiang couldn't wait for Li Ting, which made him have a bad premonition.
Arthur said: "Mr. Zhou, I don't think something is right, is something wrong with Miss Li Ting?" But this is a famous ***** in the East, it should be fine, right?"
Zhou Xiaoqiang nodded: "I hope there is nothing wrong, I'll call and ask." ”
Zhou Xiaoqiang dialed Li Ting's number, and after ringing for a long time, he heard a broken voice on the other end of the phone say in Chinese: "Dear Zhou Xiansen, your lover Miss Li is now in our hands, we hope you can redeem her with 50 million US dollars, if we don't see the money at noon tomorrow, you just wait to salvage her ** floating corpse on the beach!"
Zhou Xiaoqiang held back his anger and asked, "Who are you?"
There was a laugh on the other end: "Why do you ask such a stupid question, of course we are shameless kidnappers, and our location will not be told to you, do you wait for you to notify Interpol to arrest us? Wait for a new phone number to come in, and a Swiss bank account number will be sent to you, I believe you love your girlfriend, am I right?" ”
Zhou Xiaoqiang said: "I have the money, please don't hurt her, please let her say a word to me." ”
The other end of the phone said, "Yes, you wait!"
A few seconds later, a voice came from the other end of the phone, it was Li Ting's voice: "Xiaoqiang, where are you? Xiaoqiang, I'm in a car, I don't know where I want to go, and there are a few foreigners with masks......
"Sister Ting, don't worry, I'll redeem you back. ”
The other end of the phone was snatched over, and the kidnapper's voice said: "Zhou Xiansen, you won't be stupid enough to call the police, after all, we are just asking for money and food, but if you call the police, we will guarantee that before you catch us, the body of you or your family will be found by others first, huh?"
Zhou Xiaoqiang was furious, this was the second time he had been threatened by his family, but he couldn't do anything to be slaughtered, now he had to stabilize the other party first and let Li Ting come back.
Zhou Xiaoqiang said: "Don't worry, as long as you don't hurt her, the ransom you want will soon appear in your account." ”
The phone was cut off, and when I dialed it again, it was no longer available.
Arthur and Avery said a little apologetically: "Mr. Zhou, I didn't expect the kidnappers to take advantage of Miss Li's toilet to do it, and it is inconvenient for us to protect us, I suspect that there is something wrong with this entertainment city, otherwise why would the kidnappers attack here." ”
Zhou Xiaoqiang was a little upset, if something happened to Li Ting, he would not be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life. He said: "It has nothing to do with you, no one can think of when the kidnappers will strike." ”
A few minutes later, an unfamiliar international call came in: "Mr. Zhou, the account has been sent to you, rest assured, your girlfriend is a beauty in the eyes of the Orientals, but in the eyes of our brothers, she is just a relatively ordinary-looking Oriental woman, we are not very interested, we are just interested in money, remember not to play tricks." ”
Zhou Xiaoqiang's phone was hung up, he knew that the best beauty in the eyes of Chinese may be just a very ordinary appearance in the eyes of foreigners, and some very ordinary and even ugly women in China are stunning oriental beauties in the eyes of foreigners. Since Li Ting's appearance is safe in their eyes, at least until noon tomorrow.
Zhou Xiaoqiang thought of what the kidnapper said, he was very irritable, his own life and the safety of his relatives, why can't he take it into his own hands, as soon as he encountered a powerful enemy, he found that his means of making money were of no great use at all.
