Zhou Wei drove home, entered the house, and saw the suitcase next to the entrance at first sight.

Has she been out in the past two days?

Zhou Yan looked upstairs and downstairs, including the basement, but he didn't see any trace of Chang An, and when he called his mobile phone again, it was still turned off.

At that time, he just thought that Chang An had gone out, eating or something else, and his mobile phone happened to be out of battery again, so he went upstairs to pack his luggage, took a shower, and finished it all at almost ten o'clock, but Chang An still had no news.

He was a little uneasy in his heart and made a call to Chang Jiahui.

"Hey, is Chang An with you?"

Chang Jiahui was obviously stunned, "No, she didn't go back to Fengli with me this time." "Slowed down, seemed to remember something again, "By the way, she called me before and said that she was going out, as if she was going somewhere, Shen... Shenyang?"

"What?"

"Yes, Shenyang, she told me yesterday morning that she had something to do with Shenyang. ”

Zhou Tao was in a trance, a certain thought flashed away, hung up the phone, he sat on the sofa for a while, and sorted out a little bit of his thoughts.

Another half an hour passed, and Chang An still didn't come back.

Zhou Wei dialed Chen Haodong's phone again and got straight to the point, "Have you seen Chang'an in the past two days?"

Chen Haodong was very noisy, "What did you say?"

Zhou Wei repeated again: "Have you ever seen Chang An?"

Chen Haodong seemed to say hello to someone next to him, and changed to a relatively quiet place, and now he finally heard clearly.

"What do you mean by that?" he thought that Zhou Wei was here to ask the teacher.

Zhou Wei didn't have time to care about how bad his tone was, so he took a slight breath, "I just want to know, have you seen her in the past two days, you just need to answer my question, and you don't need to ask the rest." ”

After listening to this, Chen Haodong didn't answer, so angry that he directly picked up the phone.

With the sound of cutting off, Zhou Wei closed his eyes and tightened his cheeks, but he still forcibly suppressed the anger in his chest, slowed down for half a minute, and redialed Xu Nan's phone.

"Find a way to help me check, has Chang An been to Shenyang in the past two days, check from the ticketing section!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Nan replied directly, "I've been there." ”

"What?"

"You didn't see her, she called me last night to ask for your room number. ”

"When, exactly?"

"I want to think about it," Xu Nan paused, "it's almost nine or ten o'clock in the evening." ”

Zhou Xin suddenly had an answer, he saw Zhou Xin at nine or ten o'clock last night.

Zhou Xin was also a guest invited by the conference, but she didn't necessarily go to this kind of meeting every time in the past, but she suddenly rushed over yesterday and didn't arrange a room for her because she didn't report to the conference in advance.

She went to find Zhou Xin, Zhou Xin originally planned to open a room for her in other hotels again, but the nearby hotels either had no rooms, or the environment was too poor Zhou Xin was not satisfied, and he didn't have the time to spend with her, so he simply vacated his room.

It just so happened that Deng Shunlin lived in Shuangbiao, so he moved over and squeezed with Lao Deng for one night, but he didn't expect Chang An to rush to Shenyang alone.

Zhou Wei guessed that she should have misunderstood something, so she secretly ran there and came back by herself.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Wei came back to his senses.

Xu Nan asked again: "Do you still need to check?"

Zhou Wei: "I don't need it for the time being, let's do this first!"

He hung up the phone and rubbed his face with his palm, thinking that Chang An should be angry, and found a place to hide and didn't want to see him?

Chang An is indeed willful sometimes, but he is rarely likely to do such childish things.

Zhou Wei took his coat and car keys and went out, planning to drive around the neighborhood first, but as soon as he got into the car, before he could start, his mobile phone rang.

A very strange string of numbers, not like a landline or a mobile phone.

At first, I thought it was an advertisement or a scam call, but Zhou Wei didn't answer, but the ringtone kept repeating itself.

"Hey!"

"The surname is Zhou, right?"

Zhou Wei frowned, "Which one are you?"

"You don't care who I am, let me know you, your woman is in our hands, give you twelve hours, prepare a ransom of 50 million, and I will look for you again after dawn." After a pause, he added, "You should know the rules, don't try to call the police, otherwise I'll wait to collect your woman's body!"

It was almost half past eleven, and the first day of the new year was about to pass.

Zhou Wei pinched the phone, stared at the door, and bit the jaw line to the tightest part and loosened, and it took five or six repetitions to barely restrain his emotions.

"Hey, Xu Nan, something happened to Chang An, find a way to make up 50 million cash within twelve hours!"

……

In the second half of the night, the lights in the Changhe villa were bright.

Xu Nan kept calling and answering the phone next to him, poor in the middle of the night, it was the Spring Festival period, the bank was not open at all, he begged people everywhere with his face, and he couldn't say what the reason was.

Deng Shunlin sat on the sofa with Zhou Wei, and a hill was already piled up in an ashtray on the coffee table.

"Why don't you go upstairs and lie down?"

Zhou Yan responded: "No." ”

Deng Shunlin also knew that he couldn't persuade him, and asked again: "Really don't consider calling the police?"

"It's not clear what the other party is, let me think about it again. ”

He hung his head and rubbed his forehead with the two fingers of his cigarette, which was his usual gesture when thinking about things.

The atmosphere in the room was depressing.

Deng Shunlin asked again: "But can you guarantee that the other party will be able to release you after paying the ransom tomorrow?"

Zhou Wei: "No. ”

Deng Shunlin: "So the most rational thing to do now is to call the police!"

Yes, Zhou Wei will probably persuade the other party in this way, after all, there are too many variables in this kind of kidnapping case, and it is difficult to pay the ransom privately, but now that it happened to him, Zhou Wei closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Old Deng, I can't take this risk. ”

"This is not taking a risk, this is solving the problem, where have your usual courage and reason gone, and when you encounter this kind of thing, you have to make a decision immediately, not calling the police means compromise, these people are desperate, take the ransom, do you think they will not do anything hurtful?"

Zhou Wei wiped his face with his hand.

He understands everything, but it's not something that can be solved by reason and courage.

He didn't dare to be impulsive, he didn't dare to make a decision, he was afraid that he would regret it for life.

"Old Deng, wait a little longer!"

From early morning to six o'clock the next day, when the sky was bright, Zhou Wei finally received a second call.

This time it was a different person, or maybe a different voice, because it was impossible to tell whether the other party was using a voice changer or not.

"Hey, Boss Zhou, how is the ransom prepared?"

Zhou Xianqiang was in good spirits, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and replied: "I'm trying to figure it out." ”

"You are a developer, you can sell a house for millions of dollars, and you need to make up for 50 million?"

"Money is no problem, but the situation in the past two days is special, and you should also know that there is no bank that will not open in the second year of junior high school. ”

"Then we can't manage so much, at most until 12 o'clock tonight, if we can't see the money at twelve o'clock, we will cut off your wife's finger by pushing back an hour!"

"Don't touch her!"

"If you are distressed, hurry up and find a way to get money, and don't try to call the police, since we can kidnap people, we must have found out your details a long time ago!" the other party snorted and wanted to hang up the phone.

Zhou Wei asked: "The money is being made, it's no problem before twelve o'clock, I won't be stupid enough to call the police for this money, it's not good for anyone to make a big fuss, but I need to make sure she is safe and sound, you give her the phone, I want to listen to her voice." ”

There was silence for a while, muttering as if discussing.

Zhou Wei gritted his teeth and stood in front of the window waiting, faintly hearing footsteps, the sound of the door opening, and the sound of a man talking, the sound was actually a little loud, but it was all dialect, and it was not true, but Zhou Tao could be sure that the other party had moved from one place to another.

"That's... You man, say a few words to him!"

A squirming movement, and then "woo" two muffled hums,

Zhou Wei covered his mouth and gritted his teeth until he heard a rapid pant sound from his phone.

"Hey, save me, save me!"

Zhou An's heart trembled so much that he was about to crack, "Chang An, you..." Unfortunately, just after spitting out a few words, the mobile phone over there had been changed, and Chang An's voice was blocked again.

"Do you hear me? I'm still alive for the time being!"

Zhou Wei almost spent all his strength this time to suppress the things in his chest.

"Okay, the money will be ready at noon, you give me an address. ”

"Refreshing, but you still have to wait for the address, and someone will naturally contact you then, as long as you don't play tricks. ”

Zhou Wei smiled bitterly, "My people are in your hands, what tricks can I play?"

"Just know, after all, Boss Zhou is also a person who has experienced ups and downs, so he will definitely not do stupid things if he is so sensible. ”

"But there are some things I also need to make clear to you, money is fine, but people can't have a little bit of a difference, if something happens to someone in the end, not only will you not get a penny, I can guarantee that you don't even expect to save your life, I will do it!"

"Ho... is worthy of Boss Zhou, his tone is not small, but we also have rules for doing this business, and we make money with anger, as long as we are not forced to a dead end, people will definitely give you back completely!"

hung up the phone over there, and Zhou Wei was still standing in place.

Deng Shunlin only felt that his back was stiff, like a tree pestle there, walked over, and asked, "What do you say over there?"

Zhou Wei took a hard breath, covered his mouth with his palm and wiped it from top to bottom, "bang", without warning, his hands clenched into fists and slammed on the glass.

Deng Shunlin was startled, and when he looked over again, Zhou Wei lowered his head, his shoulders were slightly contained, and he couldn't help but start shaking.

……

Chang An has vomited twice since she was kidnapped last night, this is the third time, just after talking to Zhou Wei, someone tore the tape to reseal her mouth, but as soon as she got closer, Chang An's stomach churned, and she vomited it all in one gulp.

At that time, she still had strips of cloth over her eyes, and she didn't know where to vomit, only to hear the sound of jumping feet.

"Damn, you're looking for death!"

The man who was going to gag her was supposed to slap her on the head.

Chang An was instigated to fall backwards, the back of his head hit something hard, and after the severe pain, he was dizzy, and he vaguely heard another man next to him laughing: "It's your turn this time." ”

"How many times have you been paralyzed?" and vomited again, how much sheep soup did this woman drink last night......" scolded and complained, "No, I have to rush it, you watch it here for a while,!"

After that, there was a rustling sound, and someone pushed the door out.

Chang An's hands and feet were tied, he gritted his teeth, and sat up from the ground with a stagger.
