Chapter 10: Kidnapping
Explanation: I'm explaining, as for believing it or not, that's his problem. Looking at the trees flashing quickly outside the car, I realized that he had taken me to the highway for some reason.
"Professor Pan, where are we going?"
He spat out a smoke ring in his mouth and said calmly, "To be honest, I'm not very satisfied with your explanation, so I want to take you somewhere now." β
Where is it?? I guess they want to throw me into the mountains and old forests to dig a pit and bury me. Calm down, calm down, I can't necessarily lose in this one-on-one situation, let's use a delaying tactic first, and it's better not to use force for things that can be solved with words.
"That Professor Pan, you see that I am also responsible for your injury, or we will go to the hospital together for a systematic examination, so that I can also be cleared."
He turned his head and looked at me with a smile: "Zhang Yao, why do you say you are so simple." β
Am I simple? There is something in this, does he know that I lied to him?
At this moment, a shrill car horn sounded behind me, and I hurriedly looked back.
A familiar white Cruze suddenly appeared in the lane to my side. Toyo is Toyo's car.
We were driving parallel in two rows of lanes on the highway, and Dongyang rolled down the window, as if shouting something to me, but I couldn't hear it at all. I was slamming on the door, not knowing how to roll down the window on my side.
"Hey, hey, hey, stop! Dongyang, Dongyang is outside. "I haven't seen him for days, and suddenly seeing him again in such a way, I don't know if I am moved or missed.
"Is this a high-speed highway that can be stopped?" Professor Pan skipped me and looked at Dongyang opposite, he picked up the phone and shook it, motioning for Dongyang to answer the phone.
"Heyβwhat? Or did you find out and let him go? You know it can't be. I don't want him to know too much yet, so if you have the ability, you can take it back. β
After saying that, he put down the phone and stepped on the accelerator deeply, and after the roar, Dongyang's Cruze had been left behind.
He just said a few words, and I couldn't analyze the meaning of his words. But it's not a good idea to go like this right now, or I'll just jump out of the car. No, no, this is the highway, no matter if he has driven to 170 now, even if it is only 70, my little life may not be saved.
I looked in the rearview mirror again, Dongyang's car has long been gone, yes, these two cars are too different, it seems that he is also weak.
"Don't think nonsense, I won't hurt you, just take you to meet someone."
"See whom?" I asked cautiously.
"You'll know when you arrive, I've already said hello to your home, as long as you cooperate with me now, I'll send you back safely in three days."
He seemed reasonable, but I felt like I had been kidnapped.
Now I also have doubts about the identity of this Professor Pan: "Are you really a professor?" β
He snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and said calmly, "What? Don't I look like it? β
"Well, the professors at the university are not very capable of such a thing, and that day in the Di Bar." As I spoke, I was reminded of the wheezing sound in the bathroom.
"Haha, it looks like you're not exactly a white rabbit. Truly! I wasn't a teacher before you came to this college. β
"So, you're here for me?" I looked at him in amazement.
He didn't answer me, just drove intently.
"Do you remember what happened in the elevator that day?" Now I can't figure out how much he knows, and all of a sudden the people around me have become mysterious.
"Elevators? Didn't you say I fell from the upper floor? What does it have to do with the elevator. β
Oh, so it seems that he really broke off that day, so it's okay, don't treat me for a psychopath.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm mistaken. Tomorrow is the New Year, can I call my parents? I don't go back for fear that they will be worried. β
"No, I've already talked to them on the phone because the academy has an inspection. They are happy to hear and let you pay attention to safety. β
Well, this guy blocked my back road, what excuse is there to get out of the car or call the police?
"I'm going to the toilet! Stop at the next service area. β
He glanced at me and found an empty drink bottle under his seat, "Here, let's take this out." β
Depend on! Don't you want to do it so badly! Forget it, he doesn't feel like a wicked person who can kill people and set fires, I'll see what you want to do with me.
Later, I didn't pay attention to him along the way, just quietly looked out the window, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the blue sky and white clouds.
It took me about 4 hours to get off the highway, and looking at the more and more buildings and people around me, my heart began to bottom out.
"It's almost there, you go and rest in a while, we have a simple family gathering in the evening." As he spoke, he lit another cigarette, and it seemed that he was tired after driving for so long.
"Oh." I don't want to talk to him too much. What kind of family reunion brought me so far to have something to do with me? Anyway, there is an indescribable awkwardness in my heart.
The car drove another 40 kilometers, and the hustle and bustle of the town was lost on both sides of the road, and it was difficult to see anyone except the overgrown trees. It was already past noon, and my stomach was screaming with hunger.
"How long will it take?"
As soon as I finished speaking, the car drove off the main road and down a smaller sidewalk. The chassis of this sports car is already low, don't leak it for a while, and the mobile phone in the wilderness even has a signal.
The road changes as you walk, getting wider and brighter, and in addition to the neatly trimmed trees on both sides, there will be very elegant retro-style street lamps every other section of the road.
The yellow sports car stopped in front of a towering iron bar, and I wondered if there was a butler-like figure inside to pull the door open. But then it turned out that I was thinking too much, and the four or five surveillance probes on the iron door shook at us a few times before the door opened by itself.
When we entered the gate, I really realized what it means to be different. I leaned on the window of the car and watched the scenery flashing by as if I was a silly boy entering the city.
A breeze swept across the lake in the distance, and the blue waves under the sun's folded colors shone like stars.
In the middle of the lake is a man-made white jade pavilion, which is not connected by any road, but stands quietly alone. I was a little surprised to wonder who could get up to the pavilion, and if I wanted to, I would have to row my own boat.
On the other side of the lake, a sprawling castle in the Western European style seems to be our final destination.
"Rich people really know how to play." I teased with a bit of sarcasm that boasting like them is beyond our mortals' comprehension. How much does it cost to run such a long distance and such a remote place to do such a big project.
"You eat something first and then take a break, it might be late tonight." Pan Zhen parked the car in the square in front of the main gate of the castle and said as he got out of the car.
What the? It was late, and I stared at him with wide eyes, and I didn't even want to get off the passenger seat now.
He seemed to guess my concerns: "What do you want?!" You forgot about New Year's Eve tonight! β
Oh, by the way, tomorrow is the New Year, how to forget about it. I was ashamed of the dirty thoughts in my head and got out of the car with my head down.
He gave me a simple order to two butler-like men to lead me into the house and into the interior of the castle, where I was amazed by the stunning decoration. The golden marble floor reflects the huge crystal hanging lamp hanging from the roof, and twenty meters away in front of the door is a staircase that spirals to both sides, and its handrails and fences are made of metal, the kind of harsh light against it, it must be made of pure gold.
At this moment, I felt like I was standing in the middle of a perfect work of art, and the urge that made my heart tremble was so hard that I couldn't help myself.
"Sir, sir, your afternoon tea is ready, please go this way." The words of a butler finally brought me back to my senses.
"Oh, okay." When I mentioned eating, I felt that my stomach was already hungry. Through a large carved wooden door on the side of the main hall, you enter a room with a predominantly white accent. A long table covered with a crisp white cloth is surrounded by a circle of dining chairs of the same style. There were all kinds of fresh fruits and flowers crossed on the table, and I looked at the red apples and swallowed, I didn't know if this thing was real or fake, how embarrassing it would be if I picked up one and took a bite to nibble off the fast plastic.
A younger waiter walked up to me and pulled out a chair for me, and I sat down. It didn't take much time to come out of the back room, and two people dressed as maids came over with dinner plates. At this time, I was really hungry, and I didn't even drink saliva when I was running around from morning to now. Now they're just putting a whole cow in front of my eyes, and I can swallow it.
The plate opened up, and there were just some beautifully made Western pastries, and I thought to myself, what is this enough for? Anyway, I don't care, let's eat and talk about it first. At this time, I didn't care about any etiquette, so I threw off my cheeks and ate a nonsense meal.
While eating me, I thought that I was not the guest of honor they invited, and what I said was not good, it was the meat ticket from Pan Zhenyu, I don't care what you think of me.
"Come on, come on, bring me two of this flavored cake, pour me another glass of orange juice! Do you have steaks here? You can't get enough of these things! β
A butler stepped forward and poured the juice and said, "I'm sorry sir, but the steak won't be available until dinner." β
"What the hell! It's too light to eat the cake, and I'm almost sick to my stomach. Looking at their tangled expressions, I wanted to laugh, "Otherwise, you can go and ask them to order me two bags of instant noodles and two eggs." β
As soon as I finished speaking, the two little girls standing behind me pursed their lips and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and their shoulders trembled.
At this time, the butler's sophistication was reflected, and he still replied to me without any expression: "I'm sorry sir, we don't have instant noodles here, if you need them, I can ask them to make you spaghetti." β
"Oh, okay, okay, any noodles can be done, the main thing is to make the mouth heavier." I waved him down and got it.
After a stormy meal, I sat on my chair with my legs slumped over, only to feel sleepy.
"Ahh
The butler walked up to me again and whispered, "Sir, you are sleepy, please follow me to the guest room on the second floor to rest." β
"Well, well" I'll find a bed while I can go, or I won't have to sleep on the ground in a while.
I followed him to the second floor of the castle, and as soon as I went up there was a long corridor, with a door not far from the left side of the corridor, and a transparent floor-to-ceiling window on the right, which gave me a view of the quiet lake I had seen when I arrived.
I glanced at the pavilion in the center of the lake in a daze, and suddenly I saw that there seemed to be two people standing in the pavilion. There were no boats around the pavilion, so could it be that those two guys swam past? Curiosity made me stop, and after a moment of closer inspection, I realized that there were indeed two people who seemed to be talking. Judging from the clothes, it should be two men, but the distance is too far, and the standing posture of one of them is a bit familiar, especially his hair color, which seems to be very light.
"Sir, sir, please come and rest in this room."
I glanced back at the butler, who was opening the door, and by the time I looked back at the gazebo again, there was no one on it. Hey~~ It's really god.,Did I run into that thing again?,It's unlikely in broad daylight.γ Maybe it's just that I'm too tired and dizzy.
I shook my head and entered the guest room, and the moment I saw the big bed, my whole body was a little paralyzed, and I didn't have time to take off my clothes and fall asleep.
