Chapter 393: Cooperation

Among those celebrities who speak out publicly for Xiao Yao, there are no Xiao Yao's close relatives and friends, on the one hand, because they have a closer relationship with Xiao Yao, and speaking out publicly is not the only thing they can do, and on the other hand, it is also because they learned the news one step earlier than most people and are already busy working for Xiao Yao.

On the way to the FBI's New York headquarters with Tim Haggis to record a statement, Yin Xi had already called Xiao Yao's parents to inform him. This kind of thing, Yin Xi didn't dare and didn't want to hide it, of course, he couldn't hide it if he wanted to. She knew that there were media reporters present at the time, and that the matter would spread soon, or it would not be long before it reached China. Rather than letting Xiao Yao's parents know about this from the news, it would be better for her, the person concerned, to call them personally and tell them what happened clearly.

This time, Xiao Yao brought Pei Minyi to New York Fashion Week, saying that he lent her to Yin Xi as a makeup artist, and Yin Xi didn't really treat Pei Minyi as a subordinate. This time, Daniel Ault's press conference had a makeup artist, and that night there was a very avant-garde and trendy brand conference in another branch of the fashion week, the makeup of the models was very distinctive, Pei Minyi was very interested in this, Yin Xi was very generous to let Pei Minyi go to see the press conference by himself. For this reason, Pei Minyi did not experience the events of that night with Xiao Yao and Yin Xi.

It happened in one of the sub-venues of New York Fashion Week, and as soon as the reporters ran, the people in the main venue and other sub-venues quickly heard about it. Pei Minyi immediately threw down the half-watched press conference and rushed to the branch venue on Ninth Avenue. When she saw Yin Xi who came out with Tim Haggis outside the Emerald Palace, Pei Minyi, who was stopped by the police outside the cordon, immediately waved her hand and shouted. Hearing Yin Xi say that this was Jan Sean's personal assistant, Tim Haggis waved for the uniformed police officer to let Pei Minyi in and took her to the bureau with him.

On the way to the bureau, Yin Xi briefly told Pei Minyi what happened. Pei Minyi, who didn't know what to do, also called Fang Yi in Huaxia when she saw Yin Xi calling to inform Xiao Yao's parents.

After learning the news, Xiao Siqi, Ye Jiaying and Fang were naturally surprised and worried to death. This is not a natural disaster like the earthquake in Wuyou County, it is useless for non-professionals to go and may be unhelpful, Xiao Siqi, Ye Jiaying and Fang are still determined to rush to the United States as soon as possible to keep abreast of the latest developments at close range.

Although they can all throw away everything they have at hand and set off immediately because of Xiao Yao's safety, flights to the United States are not available anytime and anywhere, and visa issues cannot be solved at any time.

Although they immediately contacted the U.S. Embassy to apply for visas, and they also received a promise that the embassy would give them special care and expedited processing because of Xiao Yao's incident, it would take a day later to get the visas down and let them leave. Since he can't go abroad now, Fang still flew from Shencheng to Yanjing first, planning to set off from Yanjing to the United States with Xiao Yao's parents. With a companion on the way, she can also take care of Xiao Yao's parents by the way.

When Fang still rushed to Xiao Yao's house that night in Yanjing time, he found that Zhao Yi's family, Zhou Lixing's family, and Sun Zhihao and his wife were all at Xiao's house, accompanying and comforting Xiao Siqi and his wife.

Sun Tingting is also in New York, after Yin Xi notified Xiao Yao's parents, and then also told Sun Tingting, who was in school class, after Sun Tingting told her parents, Zhao Yi, Zhou Lixing, and Lin Shaohua all knew about it. Lin Shaohua's family is in Shencheng, Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying are preparing to fly to the United States tomorrow, so they didn't let Lin Shaohua's family fly from Shencheng to Yanjing, but the three families in Yanjing came to accompany and comfort them.

"Siqi, Jiaying, it's not too early, you have to fly to the United States tomorrow, rest early, let's leave first." At around eleven o'clock in the evening, Zhao Yi opened his mouth to say goodbye to Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying. After accompanying them for a night, everyone planned to say goodbye and let them rest.

"yes, don't worry too much about you two. Bayi, that kid is clever, and he will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune. In any case, you must take care of your body, rest well, and recuperate enough to have the energy to deal with the next things. Hu Xuena also persuaded.

The red-eyed Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying nodded, and just as they wanted to get up to see off the guests, Xiao Siqi's mobile phone suddenly rang.

"Strange number, but judging by the area code, it was from the United States. Xiao Siqi glanced at his mobile phone and changed his expression.

"The United States? It may be that the US police in charge of the August 1 case have called to inform them of the latest situation," Sun Zhihao guessed, "No matter what the situation is, let's take it first." ”

In this situation, as long as it is a call from the United States, everyone will not dare to slack off. The crowd that was about to leave also sat down again because of the call.

"Hey~" Xiao Siqi saw that everyone was nervously paying attention to the call, so he simply pressed the hands-free button to answer and put the phone on the table in front of everyone.

"Dad, I'm Bayi!" Xiao Yao's voice came out.

The time difference between Yanjing and New York is half a day, and it is eleven o'clock in the evening in Yanjing, which is twelve o'clock in the morning on the second day of the incident in New York, and it is obvious that Garcia has bought back the disposable phone.

"Bayi, where are you, how are you?" Ye Jiaying heard Xiao Yao's voice and immediately exclaimed excitedly.

"I said let you speak English! Do you want to play tricks?" Xiao Yao didn't answer, but a man's shouting came from the phone, which made Ye Jiaying and everyone present feel nervous.

"But speaking Chinese can make them believe that I am their son faster!" Xiao Yao's voice came out, "It's just a sentence of Chinese, I don't even know where I am now, I can't tell them the address, what tricks can I play?"

"Time is precious, what if there are Huaxia police in my house to listen to and track the phone?

"You~ Okay, but from now on, you must speak English!" The man's voice seemed to accept Xiao Yao's statement.

"Okay, okay. Xiao Yao agreed again and again, and said in English, "Dad, Mom, you should already know that I was arrested in the United States, right? This is a kidnapping, and they want you to use money to ransom me!"

"Kidnapping?" The people in Xiao's living room were surprised and nervous and felt strange at the same time, "Isn't it the robber who escaped who wants to take revenge? Why did it become a kidnapping ticket again? And wasn't the one who escaped last year and wanted to take revenge and arrest Xiao Yao a female robber? Why is it a man's voice on the phone?"

But no matter what, as long as Xiao Yao is safe, so Ye Jiaying immediately replied in English: "No problem, as long as you're okay, we're willing to take as much money as you want!"

"You also ask how much money is before you make a statement, in case someone wants tens of billions of dollars, where can you get it?" Xiao Yao smiled bitterly in his heart, but he also knew that this was caused by Ye Jiaying caring too much about herself, and she could understand it in her heart.

"We want 10 million dollars!" This time the phone was replaced by the voice of the man who shouted Xiao Yao. The owner of this voice is Jose, and since Xiao Yao has convinced his parents that he has been kidnapped and told them that the kidnappers want a ransom, then the next conversation is with him, the leader of the kidnappers.

"No problem, as long as you make sure my son is okay. Ye Jiaying said.

Jose was also somewhat affected by Ye Jiaying's sentence "I am willing to pay as much as I want", they originally wanted an 8 million US dollars worth the same as the "blue water drop", this price was revealed to them by Xiao Yao, but Jose heard Ye Jiaying's nervousness and didn't care about money, so he temporarily raised the price to 10 million.

Xiao Yao didn't care about the two million, taking advantage of Jose's slight distraction because of the success of the temporary price increase, he shouted into the mobile phone in Jose's hand in English very quickly: "Dad, they want you to come to the United States and deliver it in cash!" I know that you don't have a visa in hand now, so you can't come to the United States immediately, but with your identity and Toto relationship, if you get an expedited, it should be about the same in two or three days. They gave you three days to get to New York and then I'll contact you again. These three days are also just the right time for you to mobilize funds and prepare cash. ”

"What are you doing?" said Jose, glaring at Xiao Yao.

"I'm helping you, and I'm helping me!" Xiao Yao said, "I'm just worried that they will be delayed due to procedural problems, and I want them to come to New York as soon as possible, so I give them some advice." You also want to find some money to get paid, don't you? I just said it was in English, and you don't understand it, so what's there to worry about?"

"No, we..."Ye Jiaying said hurriedly.

"Okay, we'll be in the U.S. in three days. Zhao Rui suddenly cut off Ye Jiaying's words, and said loudly into the phone.

"Stone you..."Ye Jiaying glared at Zhao Ruidao. Their visas will be available tomorrow, and their family has no investment in an industry that has much investment except for a studio, and there is no problem of mobilizing funds, and there is no need for three days of preparation time at all, and she and Xiao Siqi originally planned to fly to the United States tomorrow. She can't wait to hand over the money to the other party now and exchange Xiao Yao back, where is she willing to wait for another three days and suffer a few more days.

"Jiaying, let the stone say!" Xiao Siqi pulled Ye Jiaying, shook his head, and whispered in Chinese, "Our hearts are all chaotic now, and we can't think normally at all." I think the stone is quite calm, he must have his reason for saying that, it is better to let the stone say, he will not harm Bayi no matter what. ”

Ye Jiaying listened to Xiao Siqi's words, looked at Zhao Rui's calm face, nodded silently, and said no more

"The stones are there, too. Xiao Yao saw that Jose did not continue to speak out against himself, and simply continued in English, "10 million cash is very heavy, you are young and strong, come to the United States with my parents, and when you send the ransom, you will help them carry it." By the way, call Haozi too, and you will help my parents carry money together! Don't involve the police in the case of kidnapping, and not only that, but after you arrive in the United States, you have to ask them to revoke the arrest warrants for several robbers in the Emerald Palace case!"

"How is that possible?" Zhao Rui said, "How can the American police listen to us?"

"Let's try it, maybe they'll listen?" Xiao Yao laughed, "Just tell them that if the wanted warrant is not withdrawn, they will shoot me." Later, I'll record a video of this and send it to you, and show it to the police after you go to the United States, why don't you call some reporters, call more Huaxia, and show them in front of reporters, and put some pressure on them. ”

"Okay! I know, just do as you say!" Zhao Rui said.

"Okay, so be it, get 10 million dollars ready, get to New York in three days, and they'll call back then." Xiao Yao said, "They are worried that my parents' phone calls have been monitored and tracked by the police, and they have limited time to say more." ”

"Okay, then we'll wait for their call when we get to the U.S. Zhao Rui said, "When the time comes, we will call you to make sure you are okay." ”

"Of course!" This time it was Jose who answered Zhao Rui, and then the phone was hung up.

"Stone, obviously we can go to the United States tomorrow, why do we have to wait three days later?" After hanging up the phone, Ye Jiaying still couldn't help but ask Zhao Ruidao.

"Because Bayi wants us to go back in three days. Zhao Rui said, "Judging from this call, since those people want money, then before they get the money, Bayi should be safe." But after they get the money, Bayi is still not safe, but it is not necessarily. The one who captured Bayi was the female robber who escaped from the hijacking case last year, she is the enemy of Bayi, and she should not let Bayi go easily, but we can't help but agree, if we don't agree, Bayi may be in danger immediately, so we can only try to drag it out for a few days. ”

"Young people's brains are spinning fast!" Sun Zhihao was the first to understand, nodded to Zhao Rui, and then said, "But it's not a way to just delay time, we still have to pay the money after three days, and after paying the money, we still can't ensure the safety of Bayi." Like you said, there's no guarantee that they'll let go of Bayi if they receive the money. ”

"Do you have any other ideas?" Ye Jiaying looked at Zhao Rui with anticipation.

"What can I do?" Zhao Rui shook his head with a wry smile.

Seeing that Ye Jiaying's face quickly darkened, Zhao Rui hurriedly continued: "But I believe that Bayi has a way! Why did I say three days? That's because Bayi said on the phone for three days, and I was just cooperating with him." In terms of ideas, the people here may not be as many as the demon of Bayi. From childhood to adulthood, Bayi has always been a person with a strong desire to control and refuses to easily hand over the initiative to others. So I guess he's not going to sit idly by, do nothing, wait for someone else to save him or kill him, he must be planning something. We didn't know what he wanted to do, so we could only try to cooperate with him. ”

"How to cooperate?" Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying asked together.

"I found out that what he just said was rushing to tell us how to cooperate with him. We will do what he says. Zhao Rui said, "He said let's go to the United States in three days, then we will go back in three days, and he said to prepare 10 million US dollars, then we will prepare 10 million US dollars." He said that if we find a way to get the US police to withdraw the wanted warrants for those robbers, then we will find a way to force the US police to withdraw the wanted warrants for those robbers. In addition to finding reporters, we can also ask the Chinese ambassador to the United States to help put pressure on the American police, which is not necessarily impossible. ”

"It's a big thing to look at people, your stone is very good!" Zhou Lixing looked at Zhao Yi and said, "Brother Zhao, you should be relieved, right?"

"It's really good. Zhao Yi nodded happily and smiled, and continued, "But it's not because he grew up with Bayi since he was a child and was influenced by Bayi? Not to mention our family's stone, your family Haozi can enter the national youth team, in addition to your teaching, do you dare to say that there is no credit for beating him in the ring in the year of Bayi? I think the most correct decision we made in our lives was to participate in "Where Are You Going, Dad" that year!"

"Haozi, Bayi said that the two of us should accompany our uncle and aunt to the United States, I am going, do you have any questions?" Hearing Zhao Yi mention Zhou Zhihao, Zhao Rui also turned his head to look at Zhou Zhihao and asked.

"Of course it's no problem!" Zhou Zhihao said immediately.
