145 Call for help
Gu Laoyi is a retired old man, and his only job now is to take care of his grandchildren.
The two brothers seem to be very well-behaved now, but in fact, they are much more naughty than Niannian.
If the brothers stay in the same place for a long time, it is estimated that they will have their footprints on the ceiling......
They are brothers wherever they go, so they are much more courageous than ordinary children.
If it weren't for the little ones in the teahouse, it is estimated that they would have been unable to sit still and shouted to go out to play.
Gu Lao's health is okay, but usually taking care of these two naughty boys will also make him tired enough.
Today, it is rare that the brothers don't bother themselves, and Gu Lao is naturally happy.
The three of them sat in the teahouse for an afternoon.
Chen Xi was very patient to accompany the old man to play Go.
He controlled his level very well, and after a few sets, his record also changed to two wins and three losses.
Such an evenly matched match also completely aroused the old man's competitive spirit, and he became more and more focused when playing chess.
Four twenty p.m.
Not long after the sixth game began, Chen Xi's phone suddenly rang.
He took out his mobile phone and looked at it, only to find that the caller was actually Ning Qiutong, who had not been in contact for a long time.
Since Chen Xi hung up Ning Zhongguo's phone last time, the Ning family's father and daughter have not bothered him again.
Ning Qiutong called suddenly, probably because he needed his help again.
After thinking for a while, Chen Xi smiled slightly apologetically at Gu Lao, and then connected the phone.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Chen, it's me, Ning Qiutong......"
As soon as he connected the phone, Chen Xi heard a little nervousness from Ning Qiutong's tone.
The last time he talked to Ning Zhongguo, the reason why his attitude was so bad was because he couldn't find any clues about Ying Ying at that time, which caused him to be in a very bad mood.
Now that his wife has been found, and the family lives happily together all day long, Chen Xi will naturally return to the harmless appearance of humans and animals before.
Thinking about it carefully, the father and daughter of the Ning family still helped him a lot before, although most of them were a combination of interests. But they know the general situation and know how to advance and retreat, so Chen Xi doesn't mind continuing to maintain a relationship with them.
So, he smiled and asked, "It's me, what's the matter?"
After making sure that Chen Xi was not very resistant to her now, Ning Qiutong immediately said with a little excitement: "Mr. Chen, can you save my father?"
"Huh, what's wrong with your dad?"
"He's been kidnapped!"
"What's going on?"
"Dad didn't come home yesterday, I couldn't get through to him, and I thought he had something important, so I didn't go to him...... Unexpectedly, I suddenly received a call from the kidnappers this morning......"
"Did you call the police?"
"Report, the police are in my house now......"
"Since you have called the police, then you will follow the arrangement of the police, what's the use of telling me?"
After speaking, Chen Xi also seemed to feel that it was not good for him to say this, so he hurriedly added: "Your family is quite rich......, right?
Hearing this, Ning Qiutong wailed with a little crying: "The kidnappers don't want money, they only need the kind of pill you gave your father last time!"
Chen Xi frowned slightly.
Pills?
Could it be the accomplices of those two Nanyangs last time?
Chen Xi was still thinking about it, but Ning Qiutong thought that Chen Xi was unwilling, so he begged bitterly: "Mr. Chen, Dad warned me not to call you before...... Although the police have already started to act, I still feel very uneasy...... I didn't dare risk my father's life, so I took the liberty to call you, and I hope you don't mind......"
"Okay, I got it. ”
Listening to her panicked voice, Chen Xi interrupted her and said directly: "Do you know where my house is? I still have a few pills left at home, and they are on a plate under the coffee table in the living room, you can go and get them, but remember not to break the lock." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, thank you......"
"So be it. ”
After speaking, Chen Xi hung up the phone.
At this time, Gu Lao glanced at Chen Xi in a little surprise, and asked directly: "Destroy the wealth and eliminate the disaster, your friend was kidnapped?"
Chen Xi shook his head with a smile, and explained casually: "A friend has a debt outside, and a loan shark has come to the door, and his family is worried, so he called me." ”
Hearing him say this, Gu Lao also shook his head, and said with emotion: "How can ordinary people deal with loan sharks? Your friend is probably not a serious person, the old man relies on the old man to persuade you, it is better to deal less with this kind of person in the future, otherwise maybe one day you will be involved......
Chen Xi nodded yes, and after laughing, he didn't continue the topic.
Seeing this, Gu Lao didn't want to say anything more.
The two continued to play Go, while Chen Xi pondered about Ning Zhongguo.
He really didn't expect that a simplified version of Pei Yuan Dan would involve so many things.
After Ning Zhongguo and Xu Wei were warned by him last time, they had already sworn that they would definitely minimize the influence of the elixir.
But some fires are easy to light and hard to extinguish.
After all, in the rumors of the rivers and lakes, it is a miracle medicine that can change one's life against the sky......
Who doesn't want it?
Ning Zhongguo and Xu Wei also lifted a stone and shot themselves in the foot, and they didn't make much money, but they got into a commotion because of it.
Counting up, this is the second time that Ning Zhongguo has been kidnapped because of the pill.
However, he can be regarded as a master of learning this time, after seeing the tip of Chen Xi's iceberg, Ning Zhongguo has already made up his mind, no matter what, he will not say any more information about Chen Xi, but instead insists that the hidden master who can refine the magic medicine has already gone to the west......
Ning Qiutong also knew about Chen Xi's existence, but because of Ning Zhongguo's admonition, she hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to make such a call to Chen Xi.
The kidnappers don't want money as long as the pill, but the pill is gone, so is it difficult for her to take a fake pill in exchange for her father's life?
What if the other party finds out?
The stakes are very high, Ning Qiutong didn't dare to gamble, so he thought of looking for Chen Xi.
OK.
Chen Xi is much easier to deal with than those kidnappers.
After getting Chen Xi's consent, Ning Qiutong hurried to the Kangju community, preparing to exchange the pill for Ning Zhongguo.
It's just a simplified version of Pei Yuan Dan, and Chen Xi wants as much as he wants, so he doesn't care very much.
Lao Ning's performance this time was not bad, and those few pills would be considered a reward for him.
As for the kidnappers......
Chen Xi is not a policeman, why do you care so much?
Ning Zhongguo is also a well-known business tycoon in Zhonghai, he was kidnapped, and the Zhonghai police will naturally go all out to protect him.
There was no need for Chen Xi to worry about this, so he quickly put this matter behind him......
