Chapter 280: The Kidnappers

Why do people live? Is this a philosophical question, or is it a biological question?

Most people's goal is to live a better and happier life, and there are some people who don't know why they are alive, but they are afraid of death.

Wei Chiran didn't think about this problem in detail, before his parents died, he didn't need to think about this, as a child, all he needed to do was to play, grow up in play and study, so as to determine his own direction, and after the mysterious death of his parents, he began to become conflicted, on the one hand, he wanted to live leisurely, but there was always a voice in his head reminding him to find out the cause of his parents' death.

Fate seemed to play a joke on him, and finally let him know that it was his adoptive father Wang Lun who killed his parents, and Wang Lun was a lone man.

But he didn't, and his mood wasn't affected too much.

In the face of early summer, as well as Yin Wanmeng, his heart was not shocked, and sometimes, when he woke up in the middle of the night, he began to ask himself, is he emotionless?

Sometimes, he even envied Fang Xunyi, he had at least one goal, that is, to retrieve his memory, but now, he empathized with what the falcon said, which was terrifying.

It's terrible for people to live without a goal, just to wind themselves up every day.

In the early morning of the second day, Wei Chiran still did not receive a reply from Xie Qingfei, and he called back to Chinatown again, but Xie Qingfei did not answer the phone, which made him feel a little uneasy.

While eating breakfast, Hou Wan suggested that since it was daytime, he would venture to the abandoned psychiatric hospital to find out, and maybe he could find some clues there.

Chu Xia heard the words: "This time we must have four people to act together, so as not to have yesterday's accident again." ”

Yin Wanmeng disagreed: "I think someone has to stay behind, otherwise, if something goes wrong, we will have to be wiped out." ”

Chu Xia asked: "What do you mean, or do you and Wei Chiran go alone?" ”

Yin Wanmeng shook his head: "As for who goes, Minister Hou makes the decision, and my opinion is that one person must be left behind." ”

Hou Wan wiped his mouth and said, "Our whereabouts may be exposed, and the person left behind will be very dangerous, so four people must act together." ”

After the meal, the four of them simply cleaned up and prepared to go to the psychiatric hospital, when the phone at the bedside rang.

The lieutenant Chi stepped forward to pick it up, and it was Xie Qingfei on the other end.

Wei Chiran asked, "Have you found your sister?" ”

Xie Qingfei said: "I found it, and I asked her, tell me your address, and I asked her to find you." ”

Wei Chiran looked at Hou Wan, and after Hou Wan nodded slightly, Wei Chiran told the address and left his mobile phone number.

The four of them waited in the hotel for a long time, but they didn't receive a call from Xie Meng, so they could only go downstairs to the hotel lobby.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the four of them came out of the elevator, they saw a woman wearing glasses and hair coiled and wearing a denim jacket walking towards them, and the woman directly raised her hand and patted Captain Chi Ran's shoulder and said, "Captain Chi Ran, right?" ”

Wei Chi was startled, and then reacted: "Teacher Xie." ”

"Don't call me teacher." Xie Meng hurriedly said, "Let's go to the restaurant first, I'm a little hungry, and I said while eating." ”

Saying that, Xie Meng went to the restaurant first, Wei Chiran looked at the people around him, Hou Wan had to nod and acquiesce, and the four of them had to follow Xie Meng into the restaurant.

After entering the restaurant, Xie Meng directly ordered a bunch of food, and after ordering, he raised his eyes and looked at Wei Chiran opposite and said, "You pay the bill." ”

Chu Xia and Yin Wanmeng both frowned and looked at this grinning woman, saying that she was a cargo chaser, saying that she was an ordinary person, ordinary women had to dress up more or less, and they would not be as casual as her, and even half of the sleeves were exposed in the bag they carried.

When the food was served, Wei Chiran asked, "Teacher Xie." ”

"Eh......" Xie Meng raised his hand and said, "I don't know what my brother told you, but don't call me Teacher Xie, my friends call me Boss Xie." ”

Wei Chi nodded and said, "Boss Xie, we want to go to the Underworld City." ”

Xie Meng leaned against the sofa and said, "You are here for those animals, right?" ”

Wei Chiran didn't know what Xie Qingfei said to Xie Meng, how could Xie Meng mention any animal?

Xie Meng lowered his voice and said, "You want to find the animal on that fragment, right?" ”

Wei Chiran looked at Xie Meng, scolded Xie Qingfei in his heart, and hurriedly excused himself to go to the toilet, walked out of the restaurant and asked Xie Qingfei what was going on.

After Xie Qingfei answered the phone, he explained: "I can't tell my sister, you are PW people, and you haven't made it clear what you want to do, I can only lie that you are looking for the animal on the broken page, only in this way can she take you to the underworld, the underworld is a place, fortunately, it is not only for people in the other ways to go, as long as you have real money, as long as you follow the rules, no problem." ”

Wei Chiran said helplessly: "Okay, then how to calculate your sister's remuneration?" ”

Xie Qingfei said: "You have to do business when you go to the underworld no matter what, and pay my sister 30% of your transaction price, this is her rule, in addition, my sister mentioned one thing, about the animal recorded on the broken page, it seems that someone has caught it." ”

Wei was stunned for a moment: "Are you kidding?" The animals on it are just legendary things. ”

Xie Qingfei said: "You are wrong, those are all strange creatures that were captured during the Ming Dynasty and collected all over the world, not some legendary beasts or the like." ”

Wei Chi remembered the strange creature on the fragment that was like a snake, but had a centipede with a thousand feet and butterfly wings, and was named "Thousand Feet Wing", could that kind of thing exist?

After Wei Chiran returned to the restaurant, as soon as he sat down, Xie Meng, who had already started eating, smiled and said, "You called and asked my brother to go, right?" ”

Wei Chi excused himself: "Negotiate the price." ”

Xie Meng pretended to be nonchalant and said, "I know, you didn't go to the underworld to buy things, you can't hide this from me, do you want to know why?" ”

Wei Chiran, Hou Wan, Chu Xia and Yin Wanmeng were stunned.

Xie Meng spread his hands and said, "If you want to know, pay." ”

Wei Chiran smiled and said, "Boss Xie, you didn't do this business, did you?" ”

Xie Meng smiled: "This is my rule. ”

Wei Chiran had to ask, "How much?" ”

Xie Meng said: "Ten thousand, Chinese currency, not your side." ”

Wei Chiran looked at Hou Wan, and Hou Wan said, "Boss Xie, who still has so much cash on him now?" ”

Xie Meng took out his mobile phone and put it on the table: "My account number is here, let's transfer it." ”

I met a money fan, this is. Helpless, Hou Wan had to transfer 10,000 yuan to Xie Meng's account, and after Xie Meng received the bank SMS prompt, he smiled and said: "You are from the PW of T country, and you are here for Songmeng, the son of the crown prince of your country, am I not wrong?" But you're also quite weird, spend 10,000 yuan for me to reveal your identity. ”

Yin Wanmeng's fists clenched, but Chu Xia held her hand and told her to calm down.

Wei Chiran and Hou Wan also understood that this Xie Meng dared to do this, which showed that she didn't put these four people in her eyes at all, after all, this is China, and PW in country T has no authority, and once her identity is exposed, she may be taken away by relevant departments for investigation.

Wei Chiran smiled and said, "Since Boss Xie knows, it means that you know Songmeng's whereabouts." ”

Xie Meng ate lobster, and did not look at Wei Chi Ran directly: "A month ago, a boy with a Southeast Asian face, speaking a relatively fluent Chinese, came to Harbin City, with a fragment of "Ten Thousand Beasts in Jiuzhou" to ask people around, and was soon targeted by people from different ways, but later investigation found that he was not a person from other ways, and he couldn't tell the origin of the photocopy, but he just said that he got it by chance, but he didn't know that he was in trouble. ”

Hou Wan saw that Xie Meng said so easily, but in his words, he obviously wanted to tell them that Songmeng seemed to be in trouble, and it was even possible that he had been kidnapped.

Hou Wan immediately asked, "Boss Xie, let's talk about it directly." ”

Xie Meng said: "I've been waiting for you, and they're also waiting, because that kid is of the T royal family bloodline after all, and you will come to find someone sooner or later." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Wanmeng moved directly to Xie Meng's side and clasped Xie Meng's wrist: "Boss Xie." ”

Xie Meng immediately raised his wrist that was held and looked at Yin Wanmeng coldly: "What? Want to get your hands dirty? Do you dare? If anything happens to me, you don't want to find that prince again. ”

Hou Wan immediately said: "Yin Wanmeng, stop." ”

Yin Wanmeng had to let go of Xie Meng, Xie Meng rubbed his wrist, shook the red wine glass in his hand and said: "If you want to see Songmeng, you must hand over the original of the fragment, this is one one, and the other is to pay one million first." ”

Hou Wan heard this: "I can give one million immediately, but I can't give you the original copy of the fragment now, I must make sure that His Highness Songmeng is safe, and I must confirm it with my own eyes." ”

Xie Meng said directly: "Impossible. ”

Wei Chiran moved to Xie Meng's side: "Boss Xie, you also said that we are from country T, and we are not a threat to you here, and my boss has already said that one million will be given to you now." ”

Xie Meng still said: "Impossible. ”

Hou Wan slowly got up and said: "The transaction is canceled, you can tear up the ticket, I will go to the embassy now, and let the embassy notify the Chinese police to deal with it." ”

After Hou Wan finished speaking, he got up and left, and Wei Chiran, Yin Wanmeng, and Chu Xia also made a gesture to leave.

Xie Meng didn't expect Hou Wan and the others to be so tough at all, and hurriedly said, "It's negotiable." ”

Hou Wan glanced at Wei Chiran beside him and motioned to continue walking.

Xie Meng hurriedly caught up: "Hey, do business, of course you have to bargain." ”

Hou Wan turned around: "Boss Xie, you're not bargaining, you want to eat us all in one bite." ”

Xie Meng said: "Sit down, let's discuss it." ”

Hou Wan and the others sat down again, their previous actions had already attracted the attention of the people around them, so they simply deliberately raised their glasses and said loudly to say something like wishing a happy cooperation to dispel the doubts of others.

After the red wine was exhausted, Hou Wan looked at Xie Meng and said, "One million, I will transfer it to you now, and I can also give you the original fragment, but you have to take me to see His Highness Songmeng." ”
