Chapter 40 Success or Failure

What is anger? What is helplessness? At that moment, I really wanted to slam my phone to the ground.

Yang Jiandong, Yang Jiandong, why are you so useless!?

You're such a pig!

I scolded myself countless times.

That night, I didn't have the appetite to eat, let alone sleep well, or even sleep at all.

I was like a miser by my phone, not leaving for a moment. Go to the toilet, eat out, sleep...... I carry my phone with me at all times, for fear that the next moment there will be a call from the kidnappers.

In the middle of the night, Mr. Chen called me to comfort me, but he didn't tell me anything else, just told me not to worry, things always go in a good direction.

If the kidnappers are really in it for money, I will lose 2 million at most, and this money is not enough to make me collapse.

Mr. Chen's safety did not have any real effect. That night, Jiaqi's cries echoed in my head all night, and the closer I got to dawn, the clearer it became.

In the past six years, except for going to Aunt Bao Juan, Jiaqi has hardly left me and never left this home.

Her dependence on me is almost absolute.

Without me, God knows what will become of Jiaqi.

I'm worried that Jiaqi is being bullied, I'm worried that Jiaqi is hurting, and I'm worried when Jiaqi comes back to me...... It's not the Jiaqi I'm familiar with.

The next day, I didn't even go to the company and stayed at home all day.

Waiting was the most torturous, and on several occasions, I would rather have the news that something had happened to Jiaqi than wait for nothing.

But I still had to wait.

That day, I still hadn't made any progress. The only news was that the kidnapper had made me in the evening, and the content of the phone call was almost exactly the same as yesterday.

The only thing that has changed is that the time limit for my reminder has changed from six days to five days.

Mr. Chen also called me three times that day to comfort me, saying that JC had him to help me deal with it, and asked me not to think too much about it first.

In this way, the next day passed in a tormented waiting.

The third day was a day with a different meaning.

Because that's the day I went to the bank to withdraw cash.

Do you know how much 2 million yuan weighs? almost 20 kilograms. Enough to fit two suitcases.

It's half the weight of Jiaqi.

2 million, it sounds scary, but when presented in front of you, it's actually just that number.

I was very careful with that withdrawal. I'm not a brainless person.

My biggest fear was that the kidnapper would spy on me, stop me halfway when I got my money out, and snatch all my cash.

So before withdrawing money that time, my husband deliberately spared the city and made sure that no one was following me before going to the bank to withdraw money. After withdrawing the money, I took a taxi to one of the largest hotels in the city, and for the next few days, I decided to sleep in the top room of the hotel.

I don't want the kidnapper to burst into my house and do something crazy while I'm home alone.

This is a move I made on my own, and I think it's still relatively stable.

Of course, before I stayed at the hotel, I also pasted a blank piece of paper on my doorstep that read:

"I'm not at home, call me xxxxxx......"

This piece of paper was specially left for Ma Yike. I already know Jiaqi's whereabouts, but I have never gotten a clear answer to Ma Yike's whereabouts, three days have passed, but I have no way of knowing what Ma Yike's whereabouts are.

After that, I officially started the life of waiting.

I started waiting for a call from the kidnappers and I couldn't wait.

I've got the money, and I don't have to wait a week for me to redeem Jiaqi. I waited for the kidnapper to call me, and as soon as he called, I would immediately tell him that I had the money ready and that I could always get it back to Jiaqi.

But to my surprise, in the next two days, the kidnappers didn't give me another call, which made me anxious and worried several times that something had happened to Jiaqi. Fortunately, it wasn't until the evening of the fifth day that I finally received another strange call from the kidnappers.

This time, the first second I heard Jiaqi's voice on the other end of the phone, I shouted, for fear that the other party would suddenly hang up the phone again:

"I'm ready for the money! If you want it, I can swap you today!"

"......" heard my words, but the other end of the phone did not answer immediately.

How will the other person answer me?

Will I really be able to get Jiaqi back without any problems?

Jiaqi ...... You must be safe!

I shouted in my heart, but my ears listened to the answer on the other end of the phone.

After about five seconds, there was a response.

"I've counted. I'll let you know when the time comes. You just have to prepare the money. "In the face of my proposal for an early replacement, the other party did not clearly tell me whether I agreed or not, but just said it indifferently and hung up the phone.

"Hey?" I almost wanted to stomp my foot as I heard the echo on the other end of the phone. It seems that the other party is definitely not the first time to do this business, and may even be a habitual offender. Every time I come up with a little strategy to break the other party's initiative, the other party will always coldly extinguish my strategy, and then hang up without waiting for me to say anything.

It's so powerful that I can't do anything.

But I really can't help it, people are in the other party, I have no room to deal with it.

That person, that's amazing.

After the phone was hung up as usual, I didn't hear back for a long time.

After that, I called Mr. Chen again and told him about it. Mr. Chen's response was to tell me to calm down first and not to be swayed by any kidnapper.

According to Mr. Chen, the kidnapper is actually very weak in his own heart, and the other party will definitely not be easier than me, so as long as I am calm and keep my brain calm, there will definitely be a way. And the kidnappers' intention is not to hurt Jiaqi, so Jiaqi should not be too risky, at least there will be no threat to her life.

Mr. Chen's words are the same as those of the previous days, they are all words of comfort to me, but they have not changed the current situation in the slightest.

At the last minute of the phone call with Mr. Chen, I couldn't help but ask if Mr. Chen had contacted the police.

Mr. Chan gave me a very cautious answer, saying:

"Xiaodong, it's not the first time I've told you, I'll naturally deal with it over there...... As I told you, the less you know about my side of things, the better. You also know that if you let the kidnappers know that you are in contact with the police, you and Jiaqi and the maid named Mayike will really be in danger. So try not to know about my side, just tell me as much detail as possible about your situation...... That's what we said on the first day, isn't it?"

“…… Well. "For Mr. Chen's words, I finally hummed. Indeed, on the day Jiaqi was kidnapped, I had already told Mr. Chen.

I was in charge of liaising with the kidnappers, and he was in charge of the police.

This is a countermeasure that I discussed with Mr. Chen.

This is also the cooperation between me and Mr. Chen, a cooperation based on mutual trust.

Anything goes wrong on either side and all the plans are lost.

The kidnappers have a conspiracy, and Mr. Chen and I don't have a plan to deal with it?

"I see, Mr. Chen. I'm in a bit of a hurry. "In the end, I listened to Mr. Chen, and I knew that at this moment, I could only trust him.

"It's good that you know. I can also tell you a little bit, the police side of the negotiation is almost the same, and when the day of the replacement, I think they still have a lot of confidence that the other party will be caught. Now the biggest problem left is you. You'd better not have a little problem. ”

This was Mr. Chen's last message to me, and after that, Mr. Chen hung up the phone for me.

Hanging up the phone, I let out a long sigh of relief.

Sleeping on the hotel bed, I looked out the window boredly, preoccupied.

Where will Jiaqi be now?

What happened to Ma Yike?

Is there any hope that I will meet them again?

No one will tell me the answer, and the rest will have to wait.

In this way, the fifth day of Jiaqi's abduction has passed in a blink of an eye. In the past five days, I haven't had a good night's sleep at all. Sadness, resentment, and nervousness made me nervous, and on several occasions I woke up in the middle of the night as if there was someone in the room, and I didn't go back to sleep until I found out that I was in a hotel bed.

Maybe it was because the quality of sleep was too poor the day before, but this time when I woke up, it was already noon, it was a gloomy day, and it was also the sixth day of Jiaqi's abduction.

Looking at the two suitcases containing 2 million banknotes next to the hotel bed, I felt uneasy.

It's already the sixth day, and it's been six days since Jiaqi was kidnapped.

If the kidnappers hadn't changed their minds, there would have been less than two days left before the kidnappers said the trading day.

It's almost there.

Lying on the bed in the hotel, I stared at the time displayed on my phone and told myself.

It's almost there.

The results are coming soon.

But it turned out faster than I expected.

As I lay in bed that afternoon staring at my phone screen, the kidnapper's last call came unsuspectingly.

When I saw the strange phone on it, I immediately grabbed my phone and my heart beat faster.

This has become a reflex for me these days.

"It's me. I said.

"There's no one around, right? I'll just say the next words, you keep in mind, bring the money, and go to the top of the third building in the Hudu Development Zone alone within half an hour. If I see someone other than you, you don't want to see the person you want again. Also, if it's less than half an hour, let's change someone another day. ”

Then the other party wanted to do the same as usual, and hung up the phone directly after saying what he had to say.

The other party's words were very concise and depressing, but this time the content made my whole body come to the spirit.

The other party apparently agreed to the substitution.

I felt like my whole body was in spirit.

The most critical moment has finally arrived.

After confirming that Du Yu hung up the phone completely, I slid off the bed in the hotel without hesitation, put on my coat, grabbed the suitcase containing 2 million cash and rushed out of the hotel.

The Hudu Development Zone, I know that place, is a newly built residential area in the city, and it is also very close to the suburbs.

It takes at least 25 minutes to get there from the hotel in the city center, and I don't have much time.

Damn, I really regret why I moved to a hotel in the city center, and I stayed on the top floor of the hotel.

It takes a lot of time just to get off the elevator.

If I were in charge of my own house these days, I could save at least ten minutes of my time

What a mistake I made.

When I ran to the elevator entrance of the hotel and saw the number on it that was still parked on the bottom floor, my heart sank to the bottom, and I really wanted to smash the elevator with a punch. When the elevator comes up, I don't know how much time it will take, and I don't have time to waste.

There was no way, in order to hurry, I had to turn around with two suitcases and rush down the safety staircase.

, it's too late.

I rubbed it, the kidnapper was really powerful, he actually controlled the time so tightly, he obviously didn't want to give me too much time to contact the police.

I sprinted all the way down, and it took me a few minutes to get out of the hotel, and by that time I was less than half an hour away from the time the kidnappers had promised. The hotel registrar was taken aback when they saw me in a hurry, but I didn't have time to pay attention to their eyes.

I know that time is really running out, and success or failure is a matter of success.
