Chapter 49: Ransom
When Song Jianye received a call from Ma Xiaoyu, he was not surprised, Ma Xiaoyu was a cheerful girl, coupled with the coexistence of these days, Song Jianye knew that Ma Xiaoyu was very concerned about him as a patient, and at first he thought that this might be a general call.
When there was a hesitant crying sound on the other end of the phone, Song Jianye knew that Ma Xiaoyu must have encountered trouble, and it was not an ordinary trivial matter, because with her understanding of Ma Xiaoyu, this little girl was not a fragile and squeamish girl.......
At the door of the county hospital, Song Jianye sat in his Mercedes-Benz and listened to Xiaoyu's story. Song Jianye breathed a sigh of relief, for Song Jianye, this is really not a big deal. Looking at Xiaoyu, who was already crying with pear blossoms and rain, Song Jianye suddenly felt pity. Song Jianye decided to help this little girl, not only because Xiaoyu had carefully accompanied him during his hospitalization, but also because Xiaoyu's crying appearance reminded him of a person and the night that made him sad. They were so similar, not only the obvious double eyelids and the pair of mischievous dimples, but also the way they looked when ......they cried.
But on that sad night, he was just as helpless. And now, he has enough strength to help the helpless girl in front of him.
"How much does it cost? Song Jianye asked.
"150,000," Ma Xiaoyu said, she didn't dare to say 200,000, in her opinion, this amount is too big, and she wants to borrow more from her friends, plus the more than 20,000 she has saved to make up the 200,000.
"Well, I'll lend you two hundred thousand. Is it enough? Song Jianye seemed to sense something from Ma Xiaoyu's embarrassed tone.
Ma Xiaoyu took out the paper and pen he had prepared in advance and wanted to write an IOU for Song Jianye, Song Jianye smiled and said that he refused, but Ma Xiaoyu insisted on writing, and insisted on stuffing the written IOU into Song Jianye's hand.
"Thank you, Mr. Song, this money Xiaoyu will pay you back as soon as possible." Xiaoyu's face turned red because of excitement.
"There's no hurry, but can I see your father? Song Jianye knew that when a gambler reached this point, he would lose more than just the 200,000 yuan, and if there was no other way out, he would take risks. He decided to help people to the end.
"Yes, I'll call him. Xiao Yu said, and pulled out his father Ma Tianci's mobile phone. Xiaoyu didn't know Song Jianye's thoughts.
The mobile phone was connected, but it was not Ma Tianci who answered the phone, but another man. I heard that it was Ma Tianci's daughter, and the man told Ma Xiaoyu that before 12 o'clock tonight, he would take 200,000 cash to Guangyuan City to ransom people, otherwise he would bear the consequences.
"I'll send the money, don't touch my dad'....... Before Ma Xiaoyu finished speaking, the other party hung up the mobile phone .......
Song Jianye told Ma Xiaoyu not to be afraid, waiting for him at the gate of the county hospital at night, and he drove there together. Ma Xiaoyu was a little relieved, although Xiaoyu is not a fragile person, she must still be a little girl who is not deeply involved in the world, and she has only seen this kind of scene in underworld movies.
In a small community in Guangyuan City, Ma Tianci was locked in a simple building, he had not eaten for a day, but he did not feel hungry, and his feelings were very complicated: fear, helplessness, and more regret.
The door opened locked, and the two ponies who were guarding him entered. One of them handed him a cigarette with a smile on his face, "Boss Ma, congratulations, you will be free tonight." Our brother's task is complete. Pony said, lit his own cigarette, and threw the lighter to Ma Tianci .......
Ma Xiaoyu spent an afternoon in anxiety, and finally stayed up until the evening, and Song Jianye came to the door of the county hospital to pick her up on time.
The black Mercedes-Benz 8888 was driving fast on the highway in Guangyuan City, driven by Song Jianye's driver Xiao Wang, Song Jianye and Xiao Yu sitting in the back row. As he got closer and closer to Guangyuan City, Xiao Yu's heart became more and more nervous, and his body unconsciously moved closer to Song Jianye, Song Jianye saw that Xiao Yu was a little scared, so he naturally wrapped his strong arm around Xiao Yu's shoulder and let her lean on his chest to .......
The car drove into Guangyuan City, stopped at the door of a community according to the agreed place, and then Xiaoyu pulled out his father's mobile phone .......
After a while, a white van came to the gate of the community, Song Jianye and Xiaoyu did not get out of the car, but the driver Xiao Wang carried the box containing the money to change people.
"Don't forget to ask for an IOU from Xiaoyu's father." Song Jianye confessed to Xiao Wang when he got out of the car.
When they saw Ma Tianci sitting in Mercedes-Benz 8888, the two little ponies felt very strange in their hearts: Ma Tianci actually had such a friend, how could he be embarrassed because of a mere 200,000 yuan? ……。
On the way back, Song Jianye sat in the front row of the car, and Ma Xiaoyu's father and daughter sat in the back row. Xiaoyu simply introduced Mr. Song to his father, Ma Tianci had mixed feelings in his heart, he felt both ashamed and strange, he could see that Song Jianye's identity was not ordinary, but he was just a patient his daughter knew in the hospital, how could he be willing to help like this. But none of this was what he was thinking about now, he just said incoherent words of thanks......
Before getting out of the car, Song Jianye told Ma Tianci that he must not gamble again in the future, and if there is any difficulty, Xiaoyu can tell him that he will help him. Ma Tianci was grateful for Lian claimed to be.
The next afternoon, Song Jianye received another call from Xiaoyu, and from the phone, he could hear that Xiaoyu was in a very good mood, saying that he was going to invite him to dinner and express his gratitude to him. Song Jianye readily agreed, he didn't want to accept any thanks, but he just felt that being with Xiaoyu made him feel like he had met his old friend.
In the evening, Song Jianye went to the door of the hospital to pick up Xiaoyu. He didn't let Xiaoyu have a treat, but told Xiaoyu that he invited Xiaoyu to eat Western food, and he remembered that when he was hospitalized, he told Xiaoyu about Shanghai Western food, and Xiaoyu said that she had never entered a Western restaurant. He wanted to fulfill a ......wish in Xiaoyu that had not been fulfilled before.
Song Jianye drove directly to Guangyuan City, Xiaoyu also accepted it happily, she knew that Song Jianye didn't care about a meal, she just wanted to make Mr. Song happy! She has slowly gotten used to the ...... of this mature man's arrangement.
Song Jianye chose a high-end Western restaurant in Guangyuan City, and when he opened the door of the restaurant, there was a luxurious hall in front of him. The ornate crystal chandeliers refracted every corner in a dreamlike way. Soft saxophone music was played in the hall stereo, and the atmosphere of aristocracy was exuded everywhere.
The polite waiter led the two into an elegant private room, where a European-style table and chairs were placed, and a white porcelain vase with pink roses in the vase was placed on the table, which matched the elegant surroundings in perfect harmony with ...... surrounding environment.
Song Jianye ordered two Western meals and a bottle of red wine.
Facing the Western food served by the waiter, Ma Xiaoyu seemed at a loss, and she looked at Song Jianye embarrassedly. Song Jianye demonstrated hands-on while explaining to Xiaoyu the steps and methods of eating Western food......
"With a knife in the right hand and a fork in the left hand, the serrated knife is used to cut meat, the ordinary knife is used to cut vegetables, and the smallest knife is used to spread jam ....... Song Jianye said patiently.
I didn't expect that there was so much attention to eating Western food, Xiaoyu curiously followed Song Jianye to learn ...... step by step.
After eating Western food and drinking red wine, Xiao Yu was interested. Xiaoyu pestered Song Jianye to sing again. also said that I heard Dean Lu say that Mr. Song's songs are more than those of big singers. Song Jianye was also in a good mood, so he brought a luxury KTv.
In the KTv private room, Xiaoyu was very lively, and she sang a song "Ten Thousand Reluctant" first. He handed the microphone to Song Jianye again.
Looking at Xiaoyu, the familiar figure from many years ago appeared in front of Song Jianye's eyes again, and he naturally thought of a song, a ......song that he often sang when he left Shanghai alone and was lonely and helpless in a foreign land more than the year before.
Song Jianye picked up the microphone and sang Wang Jie's "Heartache" with the once familiar melody in the stereo:
What is love
What is helpless again
Wordless relative
I seem to get it
Slowly walk up to you and hold your hand
I will hold back my tears and say to you preciously
Thinking that our love will be passed on in the world
Thought that the oath would last forever
Who knows that you in your dreams at night are no longer you
I'm no longer myself
I thought that the wind in the distance could blow away my pain
I thought there was longing tenderness in the sky at dusk
It's just that no one can understand this heart for you from now on
With my heartache dreams
Float......
From Song Jianye's emotional singing, Ma Xiaoyu seemed to hear something. She is a smart girl, and she knows that Song Jianye may be telling a story of her own ...... with singing.
Ma Xiaoyu was not only moved by this singing, but also unconsciously attracted ...... by this mysterious and charming mature man.
