Chapter 0423 - Race Against Time
Fu Mingmei was lying on the operating table, her originally beautiful face was seriously deformed, her lips turned outward, and she was swollen high. The eye sockets are jet black, and the eyes are swollen. She had stab wounds to her lower abdomen and chest and is still bleeding until now.
What kind of injury is such a wound, it is clear at a glance that someone attacked her!
Outside the operating room of the hospital, after seeing through the situation in the operating room, Xia Lei's heart ignited a flame of anger. He took out his mobile phone and dialed Shentu Tianyin's number again, but Shentu Tianyin's mobile phone was still in a state of shutdown.
In fact, on the way here, Xia Lei had already called Shentu Tianyin's mobile phone more than once, but he couldn't get through.
Now, Fu Mingmei was lying on the operating table, her life hanging by a thread, and it was obviously impossible for her to tell him what had happened. At this time, it was as if he was blindfolded, covered his ears, trapped in an isolated environment, unable to get the information he needed.
After hesitating for a while, Xia Lei still dialed Shen Turen's phone, "Dad......"
"Leizi, what's the matter?" Receiving Xia Lei's call, Shen Turen seemed very happy.
Xia Lei forcibly suppressed the nervousness and worry in his heart, and slowed down his tone, "Dad, I called to ask if Tianyin has come home." β
Shen Turen said: "No, you went out together this morning, and you haven't come back until now." I called Akemi, but I couldn't get through. β
Xia Lei was stunned for a moment. He suddenly realized that the mobile phone that the doctor found on Fu Mingmei was not Fu Mingmei's mobile phone, but someone deliberately put it on her. The doctor who called him also said that he was the only contact on his phone.
"Leizi, what's going on?" Shen Turen suddenly became nervous.
Xia Lei said: "It's okay, it's okay, you don't have to worry, maybe it's not in the service area." Okay, I'll go find her, I know where she is. I'll call you as soon as I find her. β
"Okay, drive slower. Shen Turen admonished.
Xia Lei hung up the phone. At this time, although he hadn't received any information yet, he had almost confirmed that Shentu Tianyin had been kidnapped!
Jingle bells, jingle bells......
The mobile phone in his hand suddenly rang.
It's an unfamiliar number that I've never seen before.
Xia Lei took a deep breath and answered the phone, "Who?"
A man's deep voice came from the phone, "Xia Lei?"
"It's me. Xia Lei said: "You calm down, how much do you want, make an offer." β
"Hehe, it looks like you already know what's going on. The man's voice, "You hear me clearly, I won't repeat it a second time." Shentu Tianyin is in our hands, don't call the police, immediately prepare 200 million in cash, and arrive in Baoding in two hours. At that time, I will contact you again. β
Xia Lei said: "Two hours, 200 million cash, now that the banks are closed, how can I withdraw it to you? Even if it is the normal working hours of the bank, I can't give such a large sum of money in two hours." What's more, I still have to rush to Baoding during this time. You provide the account, and I see someone and I transfer it to you immediately. β
The man was silent for a moment, and then said, "You can transfer money, but the ransom will cost 300 million." Two hours later, see you in Baoding. Remember, don't call the police! or you'll see her body!"
"I'm not going to call the police, let me listen to her. "Xia Lei forced him to calm himself.
"Woo...... Xia Lei ...... Don't ......" Shentu Tianyin's voice came from the phone, but it quickly disappeared.
A few seconds later, the man's voice came from the phone again, "You have confirmed her situation, let's go, don't be late." With that, he hung up.
Xia Lei put away his mobile phone, pulled his legs and rushed to the hospital parking lot.
The night is dark, neon flashes, and the streets are full of cars. A Chevrolet Suburban SUV is racing wildly through the streets, like a mad beast.
In the car, Xia Lei frowned and was preoccupied. He thought of calling Long Bing or Tang Yuyan and asking for help from the 101st Bureau, which also seemed to be a very wise choice. However, when the idea came to him, he was about to do it, but he suddenly gave up again.
You can't do that.
In an instant, his brain was running extremely fast.
If it was an ordinary kidnapper, Fu Mingmei could handle it. Shentu Tianyin travels, in addition to Fu Mingmei, a personal bodyguard who can't be beaten, he will also bring four male bodyguards. Those people are also professional bodyguards with extraordinary skills, with this configuration of bodyguards, how could ordinary kidnappers kidnap Shentu Tianyin!
Not an ordinary kidnapper, so who is that?
Before getting out the strength of the other party, rashly calling Long Bing and Tang Yuyan and asking for the help of the 101st Bureau will only bring bad results!
"The caller asked for 200 million in cash, and I asked for a bank transfer, and he agreed without much thought, apparently anticipating this possibility. If the bank transfers, he can offer a price of one billion, or even more, because he kidnapped Shentu Tianyin, but he only increased the ransom by 100 million, why is this?"
His brain was still thinking and analyzing.
"Just now, when the man was talking, there was a sound of wind on his mobile phone. Fu Mingmei has not been found for too long, could it be that the kidnappers are now on their way to Baoding with Shentu Tianyin? The wind I heard was the wind from the cracks in the car window? If this is the case, why do they have to complete the deal in Baoding, in the suburbs of Kyoto, what are they hiding?" The more he analyzed, the more scared Xia Lei became. He had a hunch that this was not an ordinary kidnapping, and the other party was likely to have a purpose other than ransom, and it was very likely that the other party knew his identity - they insisted on trading in Baoding, and they were avoiding the 101st round!
Thinking about it like this, Xia Lei didn't dare to call Long Bing and Tang Yuyan even more.
The car drove out of the city, entered the highway, and went straight to Baoding.
There were a lot of cars on the highway, including the kidnappers' vehicle, but it was impossible to know which one.
Shortly after entering the highway, Xia Lei dialed out Gu Kewen's mobile phone.
Gu Kewen's phone was not turned off, and it was quickly connected.
"Xia Lei, what's the matter?" Gu Kewen's voice came from the phone.
"Do you know where Tianyin went?" Xia Lei stabilized his mood, his voice was calm, and he tentatively said.
Gu Kewen's voice, "I don't know, I'll go home after the negotiation with An Xiuxian." β
"Negotiations started so soon?"
"You know Ama's character, and the decisions she makes will not change. She is also a person who pursues efficiency, and since she has torn her face with the Shenyu Group, talking early and talking late is the same result. β
"Isn't the board of directors of the Shenyu Group involved?"
"This ...... I don't know, the Shenyu Group is controlled by An Jinji, and for An Xiuxian, he probably just needs to make a phone call to his father. This matter can actually be handled simply. Gu Kewen said.
"I see. After a pause, Xia Lei said again, "Where are you?"
"Didn't I tell you just now? I'm at home. Gu Kewen said: "You are a little strange today, why do you ask me such a strange question. β
"No, I hear your ambient sound a little messy. β
"Oh, that's the reason, I'm on the balcony and there's someone downstairs. Gu Kewen said.
"So be it, don't bother you. Xia Lei hung up.
Xia Lei's eyes were cold, and his heart was even colder.
Just now, he didn't hear any ambient sounds. He was just a temptation, but Goowen said she was on the balcony. Is she weak-hearted or is she hiding something?
"Could it be that Gu Kewen and An Xiuxian were involved in this kidnapping? If so, Lao Tzu wants your life!" Xia Lei was furious.
Although this is just a guess, once it is found, he will take revenge!
What he hates most is that someone will do something to the people around him, let alone his fiancΓ©e!
An hour later, Xia Lei entered the city of Baoding. He pulled over to the side of the road and called the kidnappers he had received earlier. However, the phone was turned off. His heart sank suddenly, and the other party was well prepared. He is in the light, the other party is in the dark, and tonight's things are very dangerous!
Xia Lei opened the trunk of the Chevrolet Suburban SUV, which contained the XL2500 sniper rifle that he had modified. This is not the first time he has experienced a life-and-death situation, as long as he has a sniper rifle in hand, he will feel safe and confident, but this time is different, he does not feel the slightest sense of security.
Not for anything else, just because Shentu Tianyin is in the hands of the other party.
Xia Lei closed the trunk, looked around, and then entered a supermarket on the street. He bought a small hunting knife in the supermarket and hid it in his socks. There were also a few needles in the soles of his shoes, which he hid in the soles and panties respectively.
Returning to the car, after waiting for less than ten minutes, his cell phone rang.
This time, it was another unfamiliar number, but the person who spoke was the same person.
"Where are you now?" the man's voice was still so low, cold, and without the slightest emotion.
Xia Lei said: "I am now in the urban area of Baoding. β
"Out of Baoding City, to the east, Shuntian Chemical Plant, I will wait for you there. The man said.
Xia Lei said: "I want to listen to the voice of Tianyin!"
"Woo...... Xia Lei, don't come!" Shentu Tianyin's voice, with a cry, was full of fear and despair.
"Don't be afraid, I'll take you home. Xia Lei said.
The man's voice came from the phone, "Okay, let's go, don't play tricks, or I'll kill her!"
"Calm down, you're asking for money, not disaster. I'll pay you, you take the money and leave, and I'll take someone home. Xia Lei said.
"Hmph. The man snorted coldly, then hung up.
Summer thunder lit the fire and headed east.
Half an hour later, guided by the car navigation system, the Chevrolet Suburban SUV arrived on a remote road in the suburbs.
At the end of the road is a dilapidated factory on the left, unlit and pitch black.
Xia Lei looked at the watch in his hand, and it was still ten minutes away from the two hours requested by the kidnappers. The kidnappers counted the time accurately.
