Chapter 37: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada
As soon as he heard these words, Lan Mao's eyebrows twisted together, obviously very dissatisfied with Pang Jindong. But he didn't dare to attack, so he had to suppress his anger and say: "This is the only chance for us to find out the other party, otherwise when they get the money, they will pat their butts and leave, where can we find them?"
A boss echoed in a weird way: "The money is not from your brother Pang, of course it doesn't hurt!"
Pang Jindong glanced at the person who spoke, and sneered: "I thought that Lin Peiwen's status in your hearts was much heavier than 10 million!"
This sentence was very lethal, and the people in the room were silent, Pang Jindong further explained: "If you steal something, you have to find a place to sell the stolen goods, not to mention such a large amount of money! As long as they use this money, there will always be clues to follow!" Pang Jindong said that he was confident.
Hearing Pang Jindong's words, the bosses of the Star Dragon Gang immediately divided into two factions, arguing and arguing endlessly. None of them are people with much culture, so this meeting is very unbearable.
In fact, really speaking, none of them are as good as Spiegel in the truth of Pang Jindong's words. It's just that because of their different positions, their attitudes are also different.
Among them, Lan Mao's point of view is more representative, he thinks that whether this matter can be investigated in the future or between the two, if you give up pursuing this only clue now, then it is likely that not only will you not be able to give Lin Peiwen this bad breath, but the Star Dragon Gang will be even more shameless because of it, so that the whole society thinks they are weak and can be bullied.
Ding Peng quietly watched them discuss without saying a word, until his voice slowly came down, and then asked Pang Jindong: "Hearing you say this, it seems that you already have a plan!"
Pang Jindong replied vaguely: "There is no plan, we can only do our best and obey the destiny of heaven now!"
All the bosses cast inquiring glances at the two of them, and Ding Peng did not continue to ask, but made a final decision: "Just do what Pang Jindong said!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ in Brother Scar's life, the current package is probably the heaviest, although he has a lot of strength, but when he thinks that it is a euro worth 10 million yuan, he feels extremely excited.
Man dies for money, and birds die for food. Brother Scar couldn't help but recall that he had been busy all day long, from an ordinary street gangster, all the way to the position of today's boss, just for the colorful pieces of paper behind him.
It's just that Brother Scar has exchanged blood and wounds all over his body for far less wealth than in this backpack. This made Brother Scar quite emotional, sometimes the money comes so easily.
After arriving at Panjiayuan, Brother Scar shuttled quickly through the crowd, sometimes pretending to make two phone calls. After more than an hour, he found a taxi and began to circle around the huge capital.
Looking at the fast-paced numbers on the meter, the lucky taxi driver and Scar completely showed two mindsets. The taxi driver's mood became more and more excited at the thought that the money he was about to make was increasing, and Scar's mood became more and more relaxed as he counted the bends that kept coming down.
Although Scar clearly knows that the Star Dragon Gang will not send people to follow him, it is always right to be careful in everything.
By noon, Scar asked the taxi driver to take him to a remote farmhouse on the outskirts of the city, where he really wanted to go.
After such a long time and so many walks, even if someone followed him, he would have been left far behind. The layers of streets and alleys, the chaotic traffic lights, can make a mechanized infantry division get lost, let alone a few stalkers.
This farmhouse belongs to a nearby natural village, and for some reason, houses stand alone away from other villagers. Scar had secretly bought this place many years ago, and at that time he intuitively thought that this place might come in handy in the future, but this original hunch really worked.
With the joy of being done, Brother Scar pushed open the door and walked in, but when he saw the scene inside, his mood immediately fell to the bottom.
Several of his subordinates were lying on the ground, with a few pools of blood flowing under them, and Brother Scar touched his nose one by one, and they were all out of breath.
Brother Scar didn't bother to check the cause of their deaths, and immediately rushed to the back room, only to find that the chair that bound Lin Peiwen was already empty, leaving only a pile of ropes scattered on the ground.
"What's going on?" Scar gasped, pondering the possibilities.
This matter is secretive enough, only a very few henchmen know about it, how could someone find here, kill a piece of armor without leaving a piece of armor, and rescue Lin Peiwen? More importantly, who did this?
Brother Scar thought that it was absolutely impossible for the Star Dragon Gang, if they had already suspected him, then he would not have been able to leave Pang Jindong's house in the morning. And those bosses are absolutely impatient, pretending to cooperate with themselves in this play.
The chaotic thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of the mobile phone, and Brother Scar picked up the phone almost mechanically: "Which one!"
"Hello, Brother Scar!"
The other man's voice sounded strange, with a metallic echo. Brother Scar knew very well that this was the effect of an electronic voice changer, and he used something similar when he asked his subordinates to call Ding Peng.
Brother Scar asked vigilantly, "Who are you?"
The other party did not answer Brother Scar's question, but sneered a few times and said: "There is a very famous idiom, you should have heard of it - the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch follows." β
"You...... What does it mean......." Thinking that the plan he had painstakingly planned had been used by others, Scar Ge's mind suddenly went blank.
"I mean, Lin Peiwen is in my hands!"
"Did you kidnap Lin Peiwen?" Brother Scar's question is really interesting, because the plot to kidnap Lin Peiwen was obviously planned by him, and it was actually pushed on the other party's head at this time.
The other party didn't bother to correct it, but just told Brother Scar: "If you want Lin Peiwen, come and see me!"
"Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who we are, the important thing is that we know who you are - the biggest ghost of the Star Dragon Gang!"
After being stunned for a moment, Brother Scar recovered a little from the shock, and asked the other party coldly: "Do you want me to use 10 million in exchange for Lin Peiwen?"
The other party replied with great certainty: "Yes!"
Scar burst out laughing, almost tears streaming down his face. After laughing for a long time, he forcibly suppressed his smile and mocked the other party: "What if I don't agree?"
The meaning of this question is obvious, Brother Scar's purpose is just for money, and now that the money has arrived, Lin Peiwen's safety has nothing to do with him. He just lost a few of his men, and those few lives were as heavy as the 10 million in this backpack for him.
However, what completely surprised Brother Scar was that after the other party heard this question, he seemed to have encountered something very funny, and he also laughed.
The other party's smile made Brother Scar faintly have an ominous premonition.
After a while, the other party suppressed his laughter and said to Brother Scar: "If you don't come, Lin Peiwen won't be anything, but your daughter will be hanging!"
"What did you say?" Scar's eyes immediately turned red, and he almost roared at the question.
The other party said "tsk" twice, and said with a smile: "Why can't you understand Chinese, then I will tell you clearly, your daughter is in our hands......!
"If you dare to touch a single hair of her......"
The other party didn't seem to care about Brother Scar's angry threat, and interrupted in the same high-pitched voice: "Although your daughter is only fifteen years old, she is white and soft, and she is really a beauty. A lot of people have been so young these days, so I'm going to treat my brothers to my brothers......"
"You ......" Although Brother Scar's eyes were cracking, he was helpless. Reason told him that if the other party really controlled his daughter, he must not be provoked at this time. Trying his best to calm down, Brother Scar asked in a calm tone, "Did you really kidnap my daughter?"
What the other party used to answer Brother Scar's question was all the details of his daughter, even including height and weight, the location of the school, and the time of going to and from school every day.
The other person asked, "Do you still have questions?"
Scar sat on the ground, his lips pursed and he couldn't speak.
A few years ago, Brother Scar divorced his wife and raised his daughter alone. Brother Scar is extremely doted on this baby bump, and treats it as a treasure, so he is really afraid of melting in his mouth, and he is afraid of flying when he puts it in his hand.
Normally, no matter where she went, Brother Scar would send one or two of his men to escort her. This time, because of the matter in front of him, he transferred all the manpower, but he didn't expect that something would happen at this time.
After a while, Brother Scar stumbled and said, "I can give you money...... You guys...... Don't touch my daughter......" The fury had turned to fear, and he felt his heart beat faster. His daughter's life was much more important than that of his men, and he could give up all his possessions and just ask for his daughter's safety.
"You can rest assured, we're just trying to make money. As long as you are willing to cooperate, I guarantee that you will return a lively daughter. β
Brother Scar asked in a trembling voice, "Where can I find you?"
"At seven o'clock this evening, the senior fourth ward on the third floor of the inpatient department of the Peace Hospital. β
Brother Scar asked strangely, "How do you get to that place?"
"Ask less why it's good for you!"
"Alright!" Brother Scar nodded helplessly.
"Remember, you can't enter through the main entrance, you can't even let anyone see you, you have to climb in through the outside wall. β
"What?" Scar was stunned by the strange request.
"If you don't want to, forget it!" said the other party, and laughed proudly.
"I do! I do!" Scar hurriedly agreed.
"Don't force it too hard!"
"Not reluctantly! Not reluctantly!" After a pause, Brother Scar asked, "But which is the senior ward? What should I do if I climb in from the outside and be discovered?"
"Wait a minute, I'll send you a sketch of that place by MMS, which shows the exact location of the senior ward. The room had only one window that opened to the south, and under the window was a wasteland that few people passed by. Usually it won't be discovered, but if you're not careful, it's hard to say, depending on whether you care about your daughter. β
"What if I can't climb up?"
"I've surveyed that it's easy to climb up with the rain drain and air conditioning compressor outside. After a pause, the other party added: "In addition, there are two things that must be done, first, destroy the mobile phone as soon as you receive the MMS, and second, not far from where you are, there is a red Jetta parked, the key is in the car, and you drive that car." β
Brother Scar took a deep breath and spit out one word: "Good!"
"See you when the time comes, remember to bring the money!"
Brother Scar pleaded, "You have to keep my daughter safe!"
"Whether your daughter is safe or not is entirely up to you. If you want to do anything, or if you can't do it, then I'm sorry for you. β
"But you remember to me that if my daughter loses a hair, I won't do anything else in my life except to find you and kill you!"
The other party laughed a few times and hung up the phone.
Listening to the busy tone on the other side of the phone, Brother Scar's heart suddenly swelled with a glimmer of hope - maybe the other party was just lying to himself.
Although he knew that it was impossible, Scar immediately called his daughter's mobile phone and the maid at home. What made him completely desperate was that his daughter's mobile phone was picked up by the strange voice just now, and he immediately hung up the phone after asking, "Do you miss your daughter?" The maid at home told SΓΉ that her daughter had not been seen since she went out in the morning.
"If something happens to my daughter, you will bury him!" Scar warned the servant viciously, and then hung up.
The other party's MMS just arrived at this time, Brother Scar looked at it carefully, and after remembering it firmly, he slammed the phone on the ground, and then quickly grabbed the door and found the red Jetta.
After Brother Scar sat in the car, he found that the key was indeed inserted on it. Having lost hope, he took a few heavy breaths and slowly waited for the time to pass minute by minute. He had never felt that time was so difficult as he did now, and in order to reach the appointed time, he even wanted to turn the hands of his watch a few times, using this self-deceptive method so that he could see his daughter immediately.
If it were an ordinary person, he might have been frightened at this time, but after all, Brother Scar has been a person who has been mixed in society for many years, and his brain is constantly thinking about it.
In fact, Scar is not willing to pay obediently, but he has no more people to call on except himself. The cronies are already dead, and it is inevitable that the news will leak if you gather other younger brothers in a hurry. In the case that the kidnappers do not know who they are, they must be cautious. Especially if the other party understands himself so well, there may be people around him. As soon as he thought of this, Scar fought a cold war.
