152. Emergencies (three more ask for recommendation votes)
After eating, Jiang Yiming looked at the sky, it was already nightfall. In the dark sky, a few tiny stars kept blinking, as if greeting him. He first went to the warehouse and sawed a half-meter-long piece of gloomy wood, hugged it in his arms and walked towards the door.
"What is he going to do? It's getting dark. ”
Cui Ziyu asked curiously towards the person opposite. She had just settled down in the house next door, and she was not lively enough to be alone, so she came to be with Xie Wan'er.
According to himself, it is to exercise his superpower on his own and find a way to make it grow. Every day at this time, he would go to the botanical garden not far away, and come back after a few hours of cultivation. ”
Xie Wan'er was watching the show "Where Is Mom Going", and laughed from time to time: "It turns out that these stars take care of their children like this!" It's funny. ”
Although Xie Wan'er has planned not to move in and is still living in Jiang Yiming's villa, she is also very welcome to have someone to chat with her. No matter how good a TV show is, it's a lot less fun if no one shares it.
Cui Ziyu watched the TV, but didn't think it looked good, and said, "Why don't we try to exercise superpowers like him?" ”
"Because I've tried it a few times, even if I don't exercise my superpowers and grow slowly, it's useless. In that case, it is better to spend your time in other more efficient ways. ”
Xie Wan'er shifted her gaze from the TV, and said to Cui Ziyu beside her in a somewhat helpless tone.
"Even though you say that, I'd like to try it a few times. If my superpowers were even greater, I would be able to save more patients. Cui Ziyu got up from the sofa and walked towards the door.
"Do whatever you want."
Xie Wan'er said: "But can you really treat cancer? I heard that when the police found it, they had already killed half of the cancer cells in a patient's body! And after coming back, Jiang Yiming and I will enter the dream realm, so you can come together. ”
"Well, after a doctor's examination, my superpowers do have a killing effect on cancer cells. Okay, I'm going to take part in Operation Dream as well. Cui Ziyu nodded and said, and then she chased after Jiang Yiming's back.
……
The next morning, when Jiang Yiming was sitting in the living room, his mobile phone rang, and it was Chen Xi's grandfather, Chen Lao, who called. On the phone, he asked him to go to Chen's Pharmacy as soon as possible, and there was something urgent to discuss.
When Jiang Yiming hurried to Chen's Pharmacy, he found that its door was only half open, and a yellow sign was hung up that was temporarily closed.
When he walked in, he saw six or seven people sitting inside, all of whom had solemn expressions. There was a middle-aged woman with her hands helpless and sobbing in a low voice.
"Jiang Yiming, you're here, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry for you." Old Chen stood up from his chair apologetically and said.
"It's okay, I'd love to come over."
Jiang Yiming sat down on an empty chair beside Chen Xi and looked at her face. saw that her face was only solemn, but not as sad and scared as the middle-aged woman.
I wanted to ask her what was going on, but Chen Lao quickly spoke.
"Jiang Yiming has just come, Chen Xi, you can tell him about the matter and see if you can do it. If you can't do it, forget it, just forget it when I'm missing a son! ”
After receiving his grandfather's instructions, Chen Xi whispered to Jiang Yiming about the whole story.
Chen Lao has two sons, the eldest son Chen Aiguo is mainly responsible for running the family's business; The second son, Chen Jianjun, is Chen Xi's father and works in a research institute.
At about 10 o'clock last night, a phone call came to Chen's house, saying that Chen Aiguo had fallen into their hands. Be sure to raise ten centennial ginseng in two days to exchange it, or you will get his corpse.
At that time, when they heard this request, the people of the Chen family felt strange. Which kidnapper's purpose is not cash, but a century-old ginseng that will be difficult to sell for a while. Although they knew that the kidnapping seemed to be aimed at the Chen family, they had to do it.
The market price of ten hundred-year-old ginseng is about 30 million, and the Chen family can barely get out this cash, although it may put the family business in trouble.
But the kidnappers' request was ten hundred-year-old ginseng, which really stumped the Chen family. Regardless of the night, call the previous buyer.
These days, Jiang Yiming asked the Chen family to sell this number of hundred-year-old ginseng, but all those ginseng were sold, and it was difficult to buy them back. Those buyers are not short of money, and most of them are reluctant to trade.
If it is purchased nationwide, not to mention that it is too late in time, it is a question whether there are so many century-old ginseng on the market.
Hearing this, Jiang Yiming knew why the Chen family called him over, and this matter really had a little to do with him. The purpose of the Chen family is also obvious, that is, they want to know if they can provide ten hundred-year-old ginseng.
"Old Chen, this is a big problem, recently my channel for collecting ginseng has been out of stock, and I don't have 100-year-old ginseng on hand."
Jiang Yiming told the truth very seriously, after all, human life is at stake, and you can't joke. He considered that even if he went to collect the ancient tree spirit liquid to grow ginseng now, he would only be able to harvest a few hundred-year-old ginseng, which was completely insufficient.
Hearing what Jiang Yiming said, the faces of the Chen family sitting in the hall were dark and very disappointed.
The middle-aged woman who sobbed in a low voice cried even more: "Chen Aiguo, who killed a thousand knives, why do you want to go drinking with your friends to do great health care, no one can come back now!" ”
Chen Xi whispered that this middle-aged woman who was emotionally out of control was her aunt, and the Chen family had not yet informed her uncle's children of the news.
Jiang Yiming saw that Chen Xi's eyes were red and tired, and it was estimated that she didn't sleep well last night: "I'm sorry, it seems that you Chen family sold hundred-year-old ginseng on behalf of you, which attracted the attention of others." ”
"You can't blame you, we were also very willing to sell 100-year-old ginseng at the beginning, which made the name of Chen's Pharmacy a lot more famous, and we also got a lot of benefits." After hearing Jiang Yiming's words, Chen Lao waved his hand and said.
However, in Jiang Yiming's opinion, the Chen family said that they did not resent themselves at all, which was really impossible. Looking at the expressions on their faces, as well as the action of deliberately not making eye contact with him, you can see how true these words are.
He was not angry or angry, and if he encountered such a kidnapping incident himself, he would inevitably blame the person who provided the century-old ginseng. It's just that in this way, there is an invisible crack between him and the Chen family, and there is no longer the kind of harmonious friendship that he had before.
Jiang Yiming asked, "Did you call the police?" Should the police be able to track the kidnappers' cell phone signals and locate their location? ”
"It was late at night, and before I could call the police, the kidnappers hung up the phone. Although the police have since called the police, the kidnappers have not called until now and have not been able to trace the location. ”
As Chen Lao spoke, a pair of iron walnuts in his left hand spun quickly, making a loud clicking sound.
The whole room fell silent, except for the cry of Chen Xi's aunt, everyone was silent, as if they had turned into wooden people.
Jiang Yiming knew that this would make everyone's hearts very chaotic, but there was no progress in the matter, and it was useless to say anything, so he simply didn't say it. And he was also thinking in his heart, did these kidnappers who demanded a hundred years of ginseng ransom really come to the Chen family, or did they want to lure out themselves as a supplier?
After some analysis, he believed that the kidnappers were 60% likely to be targeted. You can tie up the ticket in cash, why do you want a century-old ginseng as a medicinal material? Generally, it is not a serious illness, and it is not practical.
Jiang Yiming thought: No wonder these people of the Chen family show obvious resentment towards themselves, it is estimated that they have also figured out this matter.
Everyone has a head, no one is stupider than the other, and the essence of this kidnapping can be seen with a little deduction.
"Made, this group of people must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise they will most likely attack themselves directly next time! Because after knowing that they didn't have ten hundred-year-old ginseng, it was very likely that the Chen family would exchange their information for Chen Aiguo's return. ”
