Gu Tingchen didn't answer her question, but asked again: "Then which friend did he go on a trip with, can you tell me?" ”

He tried his best to control the disgust in his heart, and tried to ask Yang Yue in a steady tone.

Yang Yue on the other end of the phone was silent for a while before answering him: "You tell me first, why do you ask such a question?" ”

Gu Tingchen took a deep breath, and then said, "Because of my father, it is very likely that he was kidnapped by some foreign organization. ”

"What? How can it be? Yang Yue's surprised voice continued to come again.

Gu Tingchen continued: "Let's not talk about anything else, tell me, which friend went on a foreign trip with him?" ”

By the time he said this, his voice was already a little impatient.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be Mr. Zheng Qing. You can call him, and call me again if you have anything. Yang Yue's voice was suddenly dyed with worry, "I hope Ah Fan can return safely." ”

"Okay, there's nothing else to do, let's get in touch with each other again." When Gu Tingchen said this, he quickly hung up the phone.

If it weren't for his helplessness, he didn't actually want to have any contact with Yang Yue, a woman.

Gu Tingchen then dialed Mr. Zheng Qing's phone.

Zheng Qing's person Gu Tingchen actually knew him, and Gu Fan had brought Zheng Qing home before. Gu Tingchen has had several encounters with him. Mr. Zheng Qing is a bold and upright person, and he has known Gu Fan for more than 20 years.

Mr. Zheng Qing's side quickly connected: "Tingchen, is there anything to call me?" ”

Gu Tingchen clenched his mobile phone at this time and paced in the room: "Uncle Zheng, I called here to ask you something very important. ”

"What's the matter? Tingchen, just ask. Zheng Qing on the other end of the phone was a little puzzled.

"Did you travel with my father before? Where has he gone now? He never came home. Gu Tingchen didn't want to tell him directly about the kidnapping.

One is that he doesn't want to leak this matter to more people, and the other is that he called Zheng Qing just to confirm his father's whereabouts.

"He used to play with me in Switzerland and Australia for half a month. After that, we went our separate ways and went our separate ways. I don't know exactly which country he went to. Zheng Qing said this, his tone was a little worried, "Did something happen to your father?" ”

Gu Tingchen smiled: "No." Just want to know his recent whereabouts. Maybe his phone is out of battery or out of the service area, so he can't be contacted. It's okay, Uncle Zheng, don't worry. ”

Uncle Zheng on the other end of the phone replied to him, "Okay." If anything, just contact me. Or if he contacts me, I'll let you know as soon as possible. ”

After Gu Tingchen exchanged a few polite words with Uncle Zheng, he hung up the phone.

Lu Kun turned his head to look at him at this time: "How is it?" Is Uncle Gu really in the hands of gangsters? ”

Gu Tingchen's expression was heavy, he nodded, and then said, "It should be." After a pause, he added, "We can't contact them here." We didn't dare call the police for fear that they would harm my father. I want to come and go, and I have to do what they ask me to do first. ”

Lu Kun raised his head and looked at the clock on the wall: "It's still more than an hour until seven o'clock in the evening, can you get ready for cash or something?" ”

Gu Tingchen nodded: "Yes." ”

After that, Gu Tingchen arranged for his subordinates to prepare the things that should be prepared for Lu Kun, and asked him to go to the designated place to trade with the kidnappers.

Gu Tingchen's villa.

At this moment, Su Yuebai and Gu Tingchen were sitting on the sofa in the living room, silent and anxious, waiting for news from Lu Kun's side.

Because the kidnappers clearly requested that Lu Kun could not contact them during the transaction. He is also not allowed to carry any communication equipment, let alone any audio and video recording equipment.

The second hand of the clock on the living room wall is moving forward little by little. Time flies very, very slowly, giving the impression that it has stood still.

There was silence in the living room.

Zhao Lin went out shopping with Su Dabai and Su Xiaobai tonight. Gu Tingchen didn't tell Zhao Lin about it. He didn't want her to worry.

The mobile phone placed on the coffee table suddenly rang like a sharp knife, cutting through the heavy silence of the space.

Gu Tingchen quickly picked up his mobile phone, but when he saw that the caller on the caller ID was Yang Yue, he couldn't help but show a faint disappointment in his eyes. He pressed the answer button and held the phone close to his ear: "Is there something wrong, Ms. Yang?" ”

Yang Yue's slightly worried voice came from the receiver of the mobile phone: "Tingchen, how is it?" Is Ah Fan safe now? ”

Gu Tingchen was impatient: "He should still be safe now, you don't have to worry." "Keep your books

"Shall we call the police? Or ask some professionals for help? For example, some kind of private investigator or something. The worry in Yang Yue's tone became stronger and stronger.

"Don't call the police, and don't make a fuss about it. I'll take care of it. I'll call you if I need your help. Gu Tingchen said this, paused, took a deep breath, and then said, "Don't call me again, because I'm waiting for a very important call." ”

"Okay, then I won't bother you. If there is any progress, remember to notify me as soon as possible. After speaking, Yang Yue hung up the phone.

Gu Tingchen put down his phone and looked up at the clock on the wall - it was already eight o'clock. However, Lu Kun has not yet called.

He had told Gu Tingchen before that after completing the transaction, he would call Gu Tingchen immediately.

Su Yuebai, who was sitting next to Gu Tingchen, held his hand at this time: "Tingchen, did you say that Lu Kun was in any trouble?" It's been an hour, why hasn't he contacted us yet? ”

The email stated that the transaction was in a parking garage in the suburbs. The person who met Lu Kun would be a fat man wearing a black sun hat.

Gu Tingchen held her hand and comforted her: "It's okay, just wait." ”

In fact, he was just as anxious and apprehensive as Su Yuebai. But he usually controls his emotions very well, and he is generally calm and calm when encountering problems.

As soon as he finished saying this, the mobile phone at the coffee table rang again.

Gu Tingchen walked to the coffee table, quickly picked up his mobile phone, and pressed the answer button. A shrill voice sounded unusually uncomfortable from the receiver of the mobile phone: "Gu Tingchen, you missed the appointment." Do you know what the consequences of no-show? ”

Gu Tingchen frowned: "I didn't miss the appointment." I've sent someone to deal with you. It stands to reason that he has already handed over the money to you. ”

"We didn't receive any money and we didn't see anyone. Our men waited at the trading site for almost an hour, and no one came. What exactly do you want to play? The awkward male voice that had been processed by software came from the receiver of the mobile phone.

"I didn't want to play tricks. I did ask someone to come over with the cash. You haven't seen anyone, is there some misunderstanding here? Gu Tingchen's brows furrowed even deeper.

"As I said before, if you're going to play tricks, don't blame us for being rude." The male voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became calm, "Wait to receive the video of Gu Fan being beaten and abused." ”

Gu Tingchen gritted his teeth, and then said, "That's it, I'll send someone over to get you cash now." Or the original location and the original amount. I'm not playing tricks. My father is still in your hands, what do you think I can do? ”

"That's it, if the opportunity is missed, there will be no more." After the male voice of Sen Ran said these words, he hung up the phone.

Gu Tingchen took the phone away from his ear, then looked at the call log, and dialed back according to the caller number.

After a while, a cold prompt tone came from the receiver of the mobile phone: "I'm sorry, the number you dialed is empty." ”

Gu Tingchen stood up suddenly, threw his phone on the sofa, and then strode towards the bedroom.

Su Yuebai also followed him and entered the bedroom.

When he arrived at the bedroom, Gu Tingchen opened the laptop and quickly logged in to his work mailbox. He opened his work mailbox with a condensed expression.

Sure enough, a new email was lying quietly in the mailbox. There is a video attachment in the email.

He manipulated the mouse and clicked on the video.

The video shows the process of Gu Fan being beaten. The whole beating lasted for more than five minutes, several people punched and kicked Gu Fan, Gu Fan gritted his teeth and the muscles on his face twitched all the time, but he didn't snort in pain.

It wasn't until Gu Fan passed out that the beaters stopped.

Gu Tingchen's teeth became tighter and tighter, and his fists clenched tighter and tighter, so that his finger bones turned white.

Seeing this, Su Yuebai walked up to him, reached out and held his hand, and then broke his fingers one by one: "Tingchen, don't be too angry, there will always be a way." ”

With that, she took the mouse in his hand and closed the video window.

At this time, Gu Tingchen's mobile phone outside the living room rang with a ringtone.

Gu Tingchen let go of Su Yuebai's hand, stood up, and walked towards the bedroom door.

He walked to the living room, picked up the phone that had just been thrown on the couch, and pressed the answer button. The male voice that made him extremely uncomfortable just now came out of the receiver of the mobile phone: "What is the end of seeing you playing tricks with us now?" Next time, it's not as simple as knocking Gu Fan unconscious. ”

Gu Tingchen clenched his fists. Anger burned his heart. He paused word by word, and said clearly: "If you want to follow my father again, I Gu Tingchen will not let you go." ”

The person on the other end of the phone sneered, and his voice was particularly mad under the effect of the software: "You don't even know where we are, what else can you do?" ”

Gu Tingchen's voice was cold: "You just want money." If my father had three long and two short, you would have no more chips in your hand. ”
