Chapter 280: Hostage
Landsea Mansion, game room.
A little girl and her two older brothers were having a good time playing chess, and Midnight and Qiao Du were sitting on the mat on one side.
Midnight Zhi hadn't seen so many smiles on his daughter's little face for a long time, and he held Di Zhi with one hand and sincerely wanted to say thank you.
Turning his head, Midnight Zhi found that Qiao Du was looking at his watch frequently, "Miss Qiao, in a hurry?" ”
"Huh?" Qiao Du realized that she had lost her temper, and hurriedly denied it, shook her head and said, "No, I'm not in a hurry." ”
Midnight Zhi caught the expression under her long eyelashes that she hadn't had time to hide, and didn't debunk it.
Suddenly, the electronics on his wrist vibrate, and no one could see anything unusual because of the cuffs of his coat covering the outside.
"Mr. Zhong." The nanny called respectfully at the door.
"I'll go out." Midnight nodded at her, and before Qiao Du could speak, he had already gotten up and hurried out.
The delicate pattern of the white door panel was closed, Qiao Du retracted her gaze and didn't think much about it, when she saw Zhong Siyi seriously learning the rules of chess, her cute face sometimes showed confusion, sometimes showed a sudden realization expression, it really made people happy.
When she came over just now, Midnight Zhi was obviously surprised, and he said that he didn't think she would come again.
She thought about it and ignored Zhong Siyi, but recently she has been dreaming, dreaming that when she was a child, Zhong Siyi was really similar to her when she was a child, lonely, longing for warmth, and afraid of warmth.
Behind the warmth is happiness and happiness, and happiness is really a luxury for children with a destiny like them.
Outside the door.
The young nanny whispered in a humble and solemn voice: "Master, there is something unusual outside the mansion today, there are some strangers in the corner, we suspect that this place has been targeted, what should we do now?" ”
"How many people are out there?" Midnight Zhi lowered his head and asked calmly.
"About a dozen." The nanny's face was murderous: "They may be afraid of startling the snake, but we only see so many people at the moment." Judging from our manpower in the mansion, these ten or so are enough to deal with. ”
Midnight Zhi put his hands in his pockets, and his true emotions could not be seen clearly in his dark and cold eyes, making people wonder what he was thinking at the moment.
The nanny held her breath and bowed her head and waited for the order, and after a minute or so, Midnight Zhi ordered: "The situation may not be as optimistic as you think, it is no longer safe here, immediately gather everyone to prepare to retreat according to the original plan." In addition, turn on the interference signal. ”
"Yes."
Midnight Zhi's footsteps were about to go to the door, and the nanny's emotionless voice was lowered: "Master, you just need to bring the young lady out, and the remaining three guests will not care about them, I suspect that they brought people over." It's been safe for so long, and since Jo Twilight came, it's been completely exposed. ”
"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhong Yezhi didn't look back, and scolded coldly.
"I'm not talking nonsense." The nanny stepped forward and said in a more suppressed voice, "Master, don't you know the relationship between Qiao Duan and Fu Jingchao?" and the little boy who looks exactly like Fu Jingchao inside, who is obviously Fu Jingchao's son. If we can't leave today, let's take these two people hostage and guarantee that we can get out! If it really doesn't work, kill a person surnamed Qiao and see if they dare to release him. ”
"Who gave you permission to do that?" Midnight turned around fiercely and gave the other party a slap, with a cold murderous aura in his voice: "I said, no one is allowed to move a finger of Qiao Dui." ”
The nanny was beaten back a few steps, leaning against the wall before she stopped, wiped the bloody corners of her mouth with her hand, and stood up with a trained head down: "I'm sorry, master!" ”
Midnight Zhi spat out three words from his teeth: "Get out!" ”
"Yes." The nanny lowered her head and quickly retreated, walked to the other end of the corridor, and waved to the corner, and immediately more than a dozen female killers in black tights gathered silently, each holding a gun in their hands, and their faces were cold.
They are usually nannies in the mansion, but their real identity is the killer under Midnight's Best, and it is their duty to ensure his safety.
"What did the master say?" One of the female killers said.
The female killer who had asked Midnight Favorite for instructions before shook her head: "The master is unwilling, he let us retreat according to the original plan." ”
One of the more anxious female killers said: "Sister Ling, the master is too kind to the surname Qiao, the surname Qiao is to take a fancy to Miss is his weakness, so he will enter the mansion in the name of Miss Kan and inquire many times, is it not enough to explain the problem when he is surrounded outside today?" ”
"I told the master, but he slapped and reprimanded, I advise you not to step on the master's minefield, otherwise with the master's temper, you and I will die ugly." Fan Ling, the female killer who was called Sister Ling, said expressionlessly.
"Sister Ling, why did the master become confused? There is no distinction between good and bad, and it is clear that we are the people he trusts the most. Sister Ling, you have followed the master for the longest time here, you can't let it go, you must think of a way. Several female killers said in unison.
Fan Ling raised her hand vigorously and signaled everyone to be quiet, "Then we will act at the opportunity, if we can get out today, we won't do anything to the three people surnamed Qiao, if we can't get out, don't blame us for being polite." ”
The inside of the mansion is shrouded in the silence before a storm, while the atmosphere in the game room is harmonious.
The three children had a lot of fun, Zhong Siyi's little brain melon seeds were very smart, Fu Chengrui and Qiao Yun taught her to play a kind of chess every time, in less than ten minutes, she could memorize the rules of each chess, and several times she also won Qiao Yun, which stimulated Qiao Yun to scream.
Qiao Du looked at it next to him and smiled backwards, and Fu Chengrui's delicate face rarely showed a smile.
Zhong Yezhi returned to the game room, saw that the room was full of smiling faces, asked the reason, laughed, squatted next to Zhong Siyi and touched his daughter's head: "I didn't expect Miao to be so powerful." Then he said to Qiao Dui: "Miss Qiao, it's not too early, why don't you go back today and play another day." ”
"Now?" The smile on Qiao Dui's face froze, the time on the watch was obviously only more than forty minutes, she finally won two hours from Fu Jingchao, and she didn't know when she would have the opportunity to come over to accompany Zhong Siyi next time.
Zhong Yezhi didn't seem to be able to care so much, so he directly ordered the eviction: "We have lunch, and we didn't order the kitchen in advance, so we only made two servings, Miss Qiao will take it back." ”
The reason for this......
It's a little rude, as if they're staying to eat.
Qiao Dui's face was a little uncomfortable, touched the tip of his nose, and stood up with his hands on the floor mat: "Then we won't bother." Then he said to Qiao Yun and Fu Chengrui: "Yun'er, Xiao Ruirui, let's go." ”
Qiao Yun and Fu Chengrui listened to the conversation between the two adults, and they were also a little confused, and no one asked any of them in tacit understanding, and slowly straightened up from the ground.
Zhong Siyi was having a good time, and when she saw that the two brothers who taught her to play chess were leaving, she naturally didn't do it, twisted her body and cried: "Don't, don't...... Stay and play with the ethereal...... Daddy, you're bad, you're bad......"
Zhong Siyi didn't speak, wrapped her arms around her daughter, and nodded at Qiao Dui, which meant that she would leave immediately.
"Ethereal, don't be angry, my brother and I will come to see you another day." Qiao Du couldn't bear it, comforted softly, touched the little girl's beautiful two pigtails, and walked to the door with Qiao Yun and Fu Chengrui.
Zhong Siyi's crying was even louder, there seemed to be traces of a manic episode, and he was held tightly in Zhong Siyi's arms, and the little girl kicked and bit at him, screaming in her mouth.
Qiao Du didn't dare to look any further, she didn't understand why she had to drive her away in the middle of the night.
Qiao Yun and Fu Chengrui were puzzled, the three of them walked in the corridor, Qiao Yun couldn't help but ask Qiao Dui: "Sister, did we do something wrong?" Ethereal dad angry? ”
Qiao Twilight shook her head, "I don't know, Midnight Zhi is weird, but he loves Ethereal very much. Today we came to play with Miao, I can see that he is very grateful and happy, as if his temperament has changed greatly after going out, maybe something happened, and he is not in a good mood. ”
Qiao Yun and Fu Chengrui didn't ask anything more.
There is still a long way to go from here to outside, Qiao Du subconsciously took out her mobile phone, wanting to see if there was any information or something, and unexpectedly she saw that the signal grid in the upper left corner was empty, hey, how could this be, there is no signal here?
She thought it was just a problem with the mobile phone, and then she heard Qiao Yun next to her also looking at the mobile phone, and she also sighed: "Sister, when I came, I saw that the signal was quite strong, why is there no signal at this time?" ”
Fu Chengrui looked at their mobile phones and took out his own, only to find that he was the same as them.
"Maybe it's because of the nearby signal tower, I do this a lot, and I'll be fine in a while." Qiao Du comforted the two of them, the strange things that happened today were one after another, especially when they came in, they could see busy nannies everywhere in this mansion, and the temperature was pleasant and comfortable, and now when they left, there was an indescribable chill everywhere, as if they were drilling straight into people's bones, and no nanny could see everywhere they went, as if they had disappeared collectively.
Soon, they walked through the courtyard to the gate, where four nannies, unlike before, stopped them.
"What does that mean?" Qiao Du was puzzled, Midnight Zhi issued an eviction order, but these nannies stopped them here and didn't let them go.
"I'm sorry, Miss Qiao, you can't leave." Among them, the tall nanny said stiffly.
"Why? Why can't we go? "Qiao Yun is an acute child.
"If you can't, you can't." The nanny pinned her hands behind her back, her eyes not looking at them, staring ahead, like a talking stone statue.
But as soon as they moved, the four nannies stood in front of them like a mountain, not moving at all.
Qiao Dui pursed her lips, feeling a little unusual, these nannies usually do their own duties and treat visitors with respect, but today it is different, they seem to have become a different kind of people, like cold machines.
As she pondered, she saw a figure swaying in the bushes outside from the middle of the railing of the gate, and she was about to take a closer look, when the nanny had begun to expel them, and they had to step back.
After a while, the three of them gathered under the tree to discuss.
Qiao Yun jumped up: "Sister, what's going on?" I'm not dreaming, am I? What does this family think, since they drove us away and let their subordinates not allow us to leave, isn't it a contradiction? ”
Fu Chengrui was calm-headed and calm, and his beautiful fingers pulled Qiao Dui's arm, and held up the tablet with good writing to her: "Let's go back to find Ethereal Dad." ”
Qiao Du looked at the dark room and nodded, there was only one way to do it at the moment.
The three of them walked inside, and the way was the same as when they came out, empty, cold, and quiet, as if no one was living there.
The more Qiao Du walked in, the more her heart sank, and no matter how sluggish she was, she felt as if something was going to happen here.
To her chagrin, she didn't know much about Midnight, except that he was her idol as a girl, his status in the entertainment industry, and that he and Su Xuan had an illegitimate daughter.
The three of them walked quickly to the game room, trying to solve the mystery in their hearts, thinking that the Zhong father and daughter should still be in the game room, but they didn't expect that it was empty, and there were still half-played chess on the floor mat.
Among all the chess, Zhong Siyi's favorite is this chess game, play it carefully, even just now she lost her temper, this game of chess is at her feet, she is not willing to kick over, this will be gone, but alone to throw this chess on the ground, it is really a little unreasonable.
"Sister, no, when I left just now, I drove us away for no reason in order to vent my ethereal father, I deliberately stuffed the chewing gum in my mouth on the doorknob, just to muddle his hand when he closed the door, but the chewing gum was still stuffed on the doorknob when we came in just now, what does this mean?" Qiao Yun looked at Qiao Du with surprised eyes, and then looked at Fu Chengrui.
Fu Chengrui frowned, as if a flash of inspiration, and immediately began to lie on the mat in the game room to find something.
After a while, he turned up a floor mat in the corner of the west wall, and a wooden plank about a meter wide was instantly revealed underneath, while the ground next to it was marble floor tiles.
Qiao Yun rubbed his hands excitedly: "Haha, it feels like making a movie, there is a tunnel down here, let's go on an adventure." ”
Qiao Du and Fu Chengrui were not so excited, they glanced at each other, and were just about to communicate, when suddenly the back of their heads was held against a tube of cold and hard things, and at the same time, a gloomy voice sounded: "Don't move, move again to blow your heads." ”
……
Trees outside the gate of No. 16 Landsea Mansion.
Yuan Yunxu squatted inside with two of his subordinates, and several other people were scattered elsewhere, and the voice of his subordinates sounded in his headset: "The boss is here." ”
As soon as Yuan Yunxu turned around, a tall figure quietly leaned over behind him, and he whispered: "Boss, you're here." The situation inside was more complicated than we thought, just five minutes ago, I saw Miss Qiao, the little prince, and the little young master of the Qiao family walking to the door and preparing to come out, but they were stopped by the men of death. I suspect they've found us, what do we do next? I can't contact Miss Qiao here, I can't get through to her, boss, you try. ”
Fu Jingchao's figure didn't move, and he glanced at him: "You think I haven't beaten?" ”
"That's ...... You didn't get through either? ”
"Hmm." Fu Jingchao narrowed his eagle eyes: "I hit no less than ten on the road, saying that I was not in the service area." ”
"Me too." Yuan Yunxu suddenly realized: "This shows that someone inside has artificially interfered with the information, causing Miss Qiao and them to be unable to get in touch with the outside world." ”
Fu Jingchao couldn't see the slightest flustery on his face, and his lips were pursed into a stiff line.
Yuan Yunxu couldn't hold his breath: "Boss, they really plan to take Miss Qiao and the little prince as hostages, or we will rush in now and rescue people?" ”
"Don't act rashly." Fu Jingchao's squatting movements did not change, but there was a hint of awe-inspiring momentum in his faint tone that could not be ignored.
Yuan Yunxu wanted to speak, but he didn't dare to say it when he saw him like this.
"Where are the police now?" Fu Jingchao asked in a deep voice.
"I'll send someone outside to keep an eye on it, and I'll be there in five or six minutes." Yuan Yunxu looked at the watch on his wrist: "By the way, boss, why don't you contact the police, for the safety of Miss Qiao and the little prince, let them not come over so quickly." ”
"I contacted Director Lin, and he said that this operation was not commanded by him, and he did not know the specific plan of action."
"How so?" Yuan Yunxu was taken aback, "Could it be that this operation was commanded by the province, that is, the imperial capital?" ”
Fu Jingchao's facial lines were cold, which was tantamount to acquiescence.
Yuan Yunxu's brain spun quickly, the little Grim Reaper was just Aaron's partner in Li City, and the grimace of the Sansi meeting before didn't alarm the above, how could he get to the Grim Reaper, and the above was fully responsible for commanding?
Speaking of which, although the Grim Reaper and Grimace are crimes of the same level, Grimace has been entrenched in Licheng for many years, and Grimace has only been in less than half a year, and the number of drugs trafficked is far less than Grimace.
Could it be ......
Yuan Yunxu then remembered the information he found yesterday, saying that Zhong Yezhi's illegitimate daughter was born to Su Xuan, the daughter-in-law of the Fu family, if he thought about it like this, it would be easy to figure it out.
If it is really the Fu family who wants to deal with Zhong Ye Zhi and cover up the ugliness of the family, then today will be Zhong Ye Zhi's death.
Yuan Yunxu thought of a chill in his back, with the Fu family's power in the military, politics and business worlds, it was easy to pinch a god of death to death.
A voice sounded in the headset, Yuan Yunxu hurriedly asked, and the subordinate at the head reported: "Brother Xu, there are no less than 100 people from the police, including special police, armed police, and criminal police......
"Alright, no nonsense, where have they been?"
"It's only a kilometer away from Landsea Mansion."
So fast?
Yuan Yunxu was stunned and told Fu Jingchao: "The police are only two kilometers away from here, what should I do, boss, or let's rescue Miss Qiao and them before they come, otherwise it will be too late." ”
Before Fu Jingchao could answer, the sound of police cars roared, and the door of the spacious mansion was crowded in a blink of an eye.
Both of them looked stunned.
Yuan Yunxu patted his head, "Oh, there is another important thing I forgot, there is an underground passage here, maybe they will escape through the underground passage." ”
Fu Jingchao's face sank: "Why didn't you say it earlier, where is it?" ”
……
In the gloomy underground passage, Qiao Yun, Fu Chengrui, and Qiao Dui tied their hands behind their backs, connected to a rope, and followed by two female killers with guns in front of them and behind them.
They had walked for a long time, and there were endless dark passages under their feet, but fortunately, the road was relatively smooth, and the female killers had them in their hands to avoid frequent wrestling.
After a while, the two female killers in front stopped, knocked on the wooden door in front of them, and the door quickly opened, and they walked in one by one.
The inside is completely different from the outside, the basement is very spacious and bright.
Zhong Yezhi held Zhong Siyi, who fell asleep after crying, in his arms, he sat on the sofa and looked at them, and then reprimanded his subordinates: "Didn't you let them go?" How did you bring them here? He was bold enough not to even listen to me. ”
"Master, we don't dare." Fan Ling clasped her hands into fists and said, "But we have no choice, just half a minute ago, the police number 100 people have arrived." ”
Another female killer stepped forward: "Master, please rest assured, we will not hurt them until a hundred times of necessity, but if someone outside dares to hurt you and Miss Yihao, we will not be soft." ”
Midnight Zhi frowned and didn't speak, and after a while, he glanced at Qiao Dui: "I'm sorry." ”
Qiao Du blinked and smiled bitterly: "Can you tell me, why is this?" Who are you? Why are the police arresting you? Turning his head and looking at the more than a dozen female killers standing side by side: "Why do they call you master?" ”
"They're going to catch the Grim Reaper." Midnight Zhi didn't say anything else, only this one.
Qiao Yun and Fu Chengrui were not familiar with this name, but Qiao Duan gasped: "You...... Are you the Grim Reaper? ”
"You're talking too much, be careful if you say anything more, I'll cut out your tongue." Fan Ling warned viciously.
"Fan Ling." Midnight's majestic voice stopped his subordinates: "Don't be rude to Miss Qiao. ”
Fan Ling lowered her head and retreated, and a figure came in from another door in the basement, "Master, the exit has been opened, you can go, it's safe over there, no one." ”
Midnight nodded his head, picked up the small body in his arms, and ordered his subordinates, "Go." ”
Qiao Du and the three of them embarked on the fate of being driven again, this time they walked a long way again, the beam in front of them became stronger and stronger, and seeing that the exit was in front of them, the female killer who was holding the wind at the door suddenly stretched her head in, "Master, there is an ambush!" In an instant, his body tilted and he fell, and it turned out that he had been shot in the back of the head.
The person who fired the shot did not make a sound and was supposed to be a silenced gun.
This technique is familiar.
Qiao Dui's eyes widened, remembering the time when he and Fu Jingchao fled in the snow, the other party used a silencer gun the whole time, and that group of people was Aaron's people.
"Midnight, go, this is Aaron's man." Qiao Du hurriedly shouted to remind him: "Aaron also dealt with Grimace in the first place, once he felt that his partner was being targeted by the police, he would strike first and kill people. ”
Her scream immediately stunned those female killers, including Midnight Night.
"It's true, I didn't lie to you." Qiao Du talked about her own personal experience.
Midnight Zhi immediately made a decision, while ordering his subordinates to block the exit, and on the other hand, he instructed the other subordinates: "Carry out the second ......"
Before the word "scratch" could be spoken, the second female killer standing at the exit also fell softly.
There was silence in the tunnel.
Fan Ling is the head of the female killer, seeing that she lost two of her subordinates in a row, she picked up the gun in her hand and was about to rush over, Zhong Yezhi stopped her, handed Zhong Siyi in her arms to the subordinate next to her, took off the gun on her waist, and calmly put two shots outside.
Taking advantage of the snipers outside to dodge the bullets, he made a look, and Fan Ling and the other three subordinates hurriedly pushed up to the heavy gate of the exit.
