Zhao Lin held Gu Tingchen's hand and patted the back of his hand: "This is a good idea, so let's do it." After a pause, she said again, "But those people saw the wind and steered, mainly because they saw that Yang Yue, a woman, had a chance to take the position, so they went to get to know her." ”

Gu Tingchen looked at Su Yuebai at this time: "Yuebai, you go to the kitchen and ask the maid to prepare dinner." ”

Su Yuebai nodded, stood up, and walked towards the kitchen.

The next morning, Gu Tingchen had just arrived at the office to work, but received a call from Gu Fan.

"Tingchen, I'm going abroad with my friends for a few days, and when I'm not there, don't make any trouble for me, understand?" As soon as Gu Tingchen pressed the answer button, Gu Fan's voice came from the receiver of the mobile phone.

Gu Tingchen was furious: "You should ask Yang Yue not to do anything." After a pause, he said in a cold voice, "I'm ashamed to have a father like you, so be it, don't call me again." ”

After speaking, he ignored Gu Fan, who was still talking on the other end of the phone, and suddenly hung up the phone.

Just a few days passed peacefully.

During this period, Gu Fan and Yang Yue never came to the door again. Gu Tingchen learned from Wen Keji that Gu Fan had negotiated with him and asked him not to sue Yang Yue. In exchange, Gu Fan promised that reporters in the city would not harass him and Bai Bingbing.

Gu Fan also gave Wen Keji some business conveniences. Wen Keji also agreed and did not sue Yang Yue again.

These are all things that Wen Keji said when he was exchanging cooperation projects with Gu Tingchen, but Gu Tingchen didn't specifically ask him.

That evening, Gu Tingchen drove straight home after getting off work. As soon as the car drove to the door, he heard the phone in his pocket ringing.

He took out his phone and saw that the screen was showing an unfamiliar number.

He pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear: "Hello, who is it?" ”

A harsh, obviously software-modified male voice came from the earpiece of the mobile phone: "Mr. Gu Tingchen?" I called to tell you something. A very important thing. ”

Gu Tingchen said in a deep voice: "If there is something to say directly, why pretend to be a ghost?" ”

"Your father is with us now. Mr. Gu Tingchen, we are asking for 30 million US dollars in cash. Within twenty-four hours, you have to send the cash to the designated place, or we will make your father's life miserable. The shrill male voice coming out of the receiver of the mobile phone made Gu Tingchen more and more uncomfortable.

"What proof do you have that my father is with you?" Gu Tingchen gritted his teeth and asked.

If this is a prank by some people, then this prank is too naïve.

"We've sent photos and videos of your father to your work email. You'll just have to check it later. Speaking of this, the person on the other end of the phone accentuated his tone, "Remember, complete the transaction within twenty-four hours." Also, it can't be you who hand over the cash to us. ”

Gu Tingchen frowned: "Why can't it be me?" ”

"Are you fools to us? If you had come in person, it would have been easy to expose our information. Ask your men to bring the cash, and we'll send someone to pick it up. Also, don't call the police. The man on the other end of the phone let out a few sinister laughs when he said this, "We only want money, not human lives." But if you insist on calling the police, then don't blame us for being polite. ”

Gu Tingchen was silent for a moment, and just wanted to speak, but heard the other party say: "The meeting address and requirements, we will send you an email." Is there anything else you don't understand? ”

He clenched his fists and asked, "Where are you?" After a pause, he asked, "Where is my father's location now?" I know you are foreigners, and I want to know what country you are. ”

The other party smiled suspiciously: "Mr. Gu Tingchen, we are not stupid, tell you the specific location, and let you track us down?" I warn you, don't play any tricks on me, do everything we want. ”

Gu Tingchen wanted to say something at this time, but the other party hung up the phone.

He drove the car to the parking garage and parked it, then quickly returned to his bedroom, opened his laptop, and logged into his work mailbox.

Sure enough, there was a new email in my work mailbox. There is a video attachment in the email.

Gu Tingchen opened the video file with a condensed expression. Gu Fan's face appeared on the computer screen. There were several blood marks and bruises on his face, presumably from being injured by the kidnappers.

"Tingchen, help me. I haven't eaten in two days. Gu Fan in the video looked very flustered.

Gu Tingchen could see the wall behind him. The walls were mottled and stained. The place where he was imprisoned must have been terrible. Thinking of this, Gu Tingchen couldn't help frowning.

He only said one sentence, and the video ended.

I think the kidnappers don't want the video to leak too much information, so as not to let Gu Tingchen track it down.

Su Yuebai pushed away at this time and walked in: "Tingchen, I don't think you look right, is something wrong?" ”

She had just come back from work and had gone to sit on the couch. Gu Tingchen walked straight from the sofa just now, went straight to the bedroom, and didn't even say hello to her. She sensed the anomaly.

Gu Tingchen told Su Yuebai what happened just now, and then asked her to watch the video. Girls are small

After Su Yuebai watched the video, she sat down beside Gu Tingchen a little blankly: "Then what should we do now?" After a pause, she didn't wait for Gu Tingchen to answer, and then said, "Dad, he just went abroad, why was he kidnapped?" Does he usually have any enemies? ”

Gu Tingchen was silent for a moment before answering her: "He doesn't have any enemies. He is a bold person, who has been in the business world for so many years and has made a lot of friends. I've never heard of any enemies he has. ”

Su Yuebai sighed, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Gu Tingchen suddenly stood up: "I'm going to find a friend." ”

Su Yuebai looked up at him: "The kidnappers said that they would give them cash within twenty-four hours, what friend are you going to ask for help?" ”

Gu Tingchen said in a deep voice: "Come with me, you will know." ”

So Su Yuebai followed Gu Tingchen to his friend's house.

"Tingchen, it seems like I haven't seen you for a long time." Gu Tingchen's friend brought the two into the house, and then smiled at Gu Tingchen and said.

Gu Tingchen nodded: "Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time." But I'm not here today to catch up with you. ”

"This is my sister-in-law, right? My name is Lu Kun, and I was Tingchen's classmate when he was studying in the United States, and we had a good relationship before. Speaking of this, Lu Kun winked at Su Yuebai, "How good is it, if I hadn't rejected him at the beginning, he would have almost turned around." ”

Su Yuebai was really ridiculous, and just as she wanted to speak, she heard Gu Tingchen say: "Okay, don't talk so much nonsense, I have something important to ask you for help." Take us into your computer room. ”

Lu Kun's expression immediately became serious, and then said, "Then you come with me." ”

The two followed Lu Kun to a room.

This room was supposed to be his bedroom, with a bed on the right. The things in the house are very messy.

On the large computer screen on the left computer desk is the game login screen.

Lu Kun walked to the computer, turned off the game login screen, then straightened up and said to Gu Tingchen: "What's the matter, you can tell it." ”

Gu Tingchen briefly told him about Gu Fan's kidnapping, and then said: "I have an email from the other party in my mailbox, I want to know, can you help me find out the other party's IP address." It's also easy to track each other. ”

Lu Kun nodded: "I'll try." ”

After that, Gu Tingchen logged in to the mailbox and called up the two emails to Lu Kun to see.

Lu Kun sat down in front of the computer and started working.

Gu Tingchen sat down on the chair next to Lu Kun, and then looked at Su Yuebai: "Ah Kun used to like to engage in some messy hacking techniques when he was in college, so I came to help him this time." ”

Lu Kun turned his head and looked unhappy: "What is messy hacking technology, my skills are very exquisite, okay?" ”

Gu Tingchen glared at him: "How about it, can you find out some information about the other party?" ”

Lu Kun nodded: "Yes, yes, but you have to give me some time." ”

Gu Tingchen raised his hand and looked at his watch a little irritably, and then said, "How many hours do you want?" ”

Lu Kun pondered for a while, and then said, "You just showed me the second email. The email said that you should send someone to the designated place to give them cash. Is that good? You give me the money, and I'll give it to them. That way, I'll be able to find out more information. ”

Gu Tingchen frowned: "How can you find out more information when you meet with the people under them?" ”

Lu Kun waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about this, there are some technical issues involved here, and you laymen won't understand it." In short, trust me everything, okay? ”

Gu Tingchen was silent for a moment before he said again: "Of course I believe you. I wouldn't have come to you for help if I didn't believe you. According to the time on the email, you will go to the designated place at 7 o'clock tonight to trade with the other party. I'm going to get the cash out of the district now. ”

After speaking, he stood up: "But before I do that, I have to make sure that my dad is not home." What if it's just a trick on the other side? ”

Speaking of this, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Yang Yue's number.

Yang Yue picked up the phone after a while: "What's the matter, what is Mr. Gu looking for me?" ”

There was a lot of irony in her voice.

Gu Tingchen didn't bother to bother with her: "I just called and asked you, did my father come back from a trip abroad?" He said that he traveled with a friend, which friend was he with? ”

Yang Yue was silent for a while, and then replied to him: "He didn't come back." How do you ask this? ”
