The three of them looked at each other and realized that something was wrong.

"Mai Ziqi?" Bai Qianheng called out tentatively.

There was no response from the phone.

Bai Qianheng's face was ugly, his fingers clutched the sofa tightly, and his fingertips turned white.

"Huh!" At this time, a man's voice suddenly came from the mobile phone, he sneered and said, "Mai Ziqi is here with me." ”

As soon as they heard this voice, Li Shaoqing and Fei Yue's expressions immediately changed greatly, and they glanced at each other, their eyes full of disbelief - the owner of this voice was Zhu Duhan.

Bai Qianheng also heard it, his face was gloomy, and his tone was anxious: "Zhu Duhan?" How are you? What about Mak Ziqi? What did you do with her? ”

Zhu Dusk laughed coldly and said, "It's okay, let her tell you herself." ”

After a pause for a few seconds, Mai Ziqi's faint voice came from the phone, she seemed to be covered and glued to her mouth, and she could only make a whining sound, unable to say a complete sentence.

"Mak Ziqi? Maggie Mak! Bai Qianheng shouted anxiously, anxious, "Zhu Duhan, what do you want to do?" What are you coming at me? ”

Zhu Du sneered and said, "Where are Li Shaoqing and Fei Yue?" ”

The mobile phone is turned on hands-free, and Fei Yue also heard Zhu Duhan's words, and immediately replied: "I'm next to him, what are you going to do??" Let go of Mai Ziqi! ”

"I finally got her here, why should I listen to you and let her go?" Zhu Duhan smiled, disapproving, and after a pause, he said, "It's not impossible for me to let her go, unless ......"

"Unless what?" Fei Yue asked anxiously.

Zhu Duhan said, "Unless you hand over your research results." ”

Fei Yue was silent, Bai Qianheng and Li Shaoqing were also silent, they all knew very well that Fei Yue's research was very important, and it was impossible to really give Zhu Duhan, but if Zhu Duhan was not given, it might really be unfavorable to Mai Ziqi, no matter what the consequences were, they couldn't bear it.

Fei Yue took a deep breath and said into her phone, "Why are you so obsessed with my research results?" ”

Zhu Duhan said: "This is not something you need to care about, you just need to give me the research results." ”

After a pause, he continued: "I advise you not to have any bad ideas, otherwise I will not be able to guarantee the safety of your best friend." ”

"Despicable!" Fei Yue gritted her teeth and spit out these two words from her mouth, knowing that she had caused Mai Ziqi, and Zhu Duhan had no ability to kidnap her, so she kidnapped Mai Ziqi to threaten her.

After what happened last time, they only thought about strengthening the protection of Fei Yue, but they ignored the people around them.

"How am I going to give you the results of my research?" Fei Yue asked Zhu Duhan, trying to find a flaw in his words.

Zhu Duhan said: "You scan a copy of all the documents and send them to Mai Ziqi's mailbox, I will log in to her mailbox to read it, I warn you not to cheat again, once I find out, Mai Ziqi's life will be difficult to protect." ”

"Don't move

She, I promise you......" Fei Yue said anxiously, wanting to stabilize Zhu Duhan before making plans.

But I didn't want to be at this time, Li Shaoqing suddenly said loudly: "It is impossible for the research results to be given to you, you should die." ”

After saying that, he simply hung up the phone.

Fei Yue looked up at him, dumbfounded.

Li Shaoqing explained: "I know you want to hold Zhu Duhan first, but he also knows the importance of your research results, and if you agree to him so easily, he will definitely have some doubts." ”

Fei Yue suddenly realized, patted her head and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of it?" ”

Li Shaoqing shook his head and said, "If you are in a hurry, you will be in chaos. ”

After that, he said to Bai Qianheng: "Don't worry, there will definitely be a way." ”

Bai Qianheng had an uncertain look on his face, and said with a little lost soul: "It's all my fault, I should have finished the matter and sent her off earlier, if I was here, she would definitely not be kidnapped." ”

Li Shaoqing patted him on the shoulder and said, "No one knew that such a thing would happen, don't blame yourself too much." ”

Bai Qianheng shook his head and covered his face in pain.

Looking at him like this, Li Shaoqing and Fei Yue didn't know how to comfort him, so they could only sigh.

Li Shaoqing thought for a while and said, "Mai Ziqi's mobile phone must have been processed by Zhu Duhan, and it is difficult to locate it, but just in case, I will still send someone to check." ”

As he spoke, he paused and said, "In a short period of time, Zhu Duhan will not do anything to Mai Ziqi, if our people can't locate them, wait for Zhu Duhan to call next time." He promised to give him the results of his research, and then buy a little time to search the whole city for their traces. ”

"Yes, I'm sure I'll find Mai Ziqi this way." Fei Yue echoed and comforted Bai Qianheng.

Bai Qianheng nodded and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

"It should." Li Shaoqing shook his head and called to arrange things.

Bai Qianheng also contacted all the people he contacted, and did his best to find Mai Ziqi.

Things were quickly arranged, and all forces were dispatched to start a carpet search, but in order not to alarm Zhu Duhan and them, they were chasing a terrorist murderer under the banner of hunting down.

Despite this, they also tried to be as careful as possible in their actions and did not alarm anyone, because Zhu Duhan was too cautious and sensitive, and once he noticed that something was wrong, he would probably attack Mai Ziqi and tear up the ticket.

All the arrangements are being carried out in an orderly manner. During this time, Bai Qianheng temporarily lived in the Li Mansion to facilitate their discussion at all times.

With Mai Ziqi's example, Li Shaoqing and Fei Yue also immediately equipped bodyguards for all the people close to them, so that they should be careful at all times, for a while. Everyone was in a tense atmosphere.

After three days, there was still no result in the search, and Bai Qianheng looked thinner and thinner, and his face was yellow.

Li Shaoqing and Fei Yue saw that there was really no way, so they called Mai Ziqi again.

This time I answered the phone

However, it was Zhu Duhan, as soon as the phone was connected, Zhu Duhan's mocking voice came from the mobile phone, and said, "What, I finally figured it out?" Have you decided to give me the results? ”

Fei Yue gritted her teeth and said, "How is Mai Ziqi?" I'm going to make sure she's safe first. ”

"Okay, you wait a minute." Zhu Duhan agreed.

After a few seconds, Mai Ziqi's voice came from the phone: "Yueyue, don't care about me, don't give him research results!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a snap, and Mai Ziqi was slapped by Zhu Duhan.

"What are you doing Zhu Duhan? Don't touch her! Fei Yue and Bai Qianheng roared at the same time.

Zhu Duhan said fiercely: "I shouldn't have let her speak!" Okay, you heard her voice too, have you thought about it? Do you want to give me the results of your research? ”

Fei Yue took a deep breath and said, "I can give you the research results, but how can I guarantee that after you get the research results, you will really release Mai Ziqi?" ”

Zhu Dusk laughed coldly and asked rhetorically, "But you don't have a choice, do you?" ”

Fei Yue's expression froze, her face turned pale, Zhu Duhan was right, she couldn't leave Mai Ziqi alone, even if there was a risk, she had to gamble.

"Mean, shameless, insidious!" Fei Yue gritted her teeth and scolded.

"Yueyue, don't talk about me like that, I'll be heartbroken." Having said that, Zhu Duhan smiled, his tone couldn't hear a little sadness and heartache, he said, "The research results were sent to the mailbox, and I immediately released Mai Ziqi, remember, I am only waiting for your last day, and if I haven't received it tomorrow, I will tear up the ticket." ”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

"What now? Do you really want to give him the results of your research? Fei Yue held her phone and looked at Li Shaoqing.

Li Shaoqing pondered, his face gloomy, and after a while, he said, "Wait for half a day." ”

After speaking, he touched his chin and added, "In three days, we have searched all the places in this city suitable for kidnapping, and we haven't found Zhu Duhan and Mai Ziqi, where can they go?" ”

"Could it be that there is a place that I haven't found?" Fei Yue asked him.

Li Shaoqing shook his head: "There is such a possibility, so wait for another half a day, waiting for the news of the search." ”

Fei Yue nodded and did not speak again.

Bai Qianheng didn't speak, and the three of them sat silently on the sofa, quietly waiting for the time to pass.

The clock on the wall swayed and rattled, and time passed slowly, and finally, half a day had arrived, and they waited from noon to evening, but there was still no good news from the search party.

At this time, the three of them couldn't sit still, and Bai Qianheng was even more anxious like an ant on a hot pot, but if he cared, he couldn't think of a good way.

Li Shaoqing and Fei Yue thought carefully, trying to recall Zhu Duhan's words and find flaws in them, but they found that they had no effect.

After half a ring, Fei Yue suddenly thought of something and said, "Li Shao."

Qing, you said before that you searched all the places in this city that are suitable for kidnapping, right? ”

Li Shaoqing nodded: "That's right." ”

Fei Yue suddenly realized, clapped her hands excitedly, and said: "As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place, you know that you have to check those places that are suitable for kidnapping, Zhu Duhan must also know, so will he go the opposite way and take Mai Ziqi to other places, or even out of this city?" ”

Li Shaoqing and Bai Qianheng were silent, and after thinking for a while, Bai Qianheng said: "It's impossible to go out of the city, our people have checked all the records, and there is no news that they are out of the city, the airport, high-speed rail station, railway station, and even the bus station are guarded, and no suspicious people have been found." ”

"Then there's only one last possibility, maybe he's actually in somewhere that seems safe." Li Shaoqing said thoughtfully, picked up the phone, called Li Feng, and said, "Don't disturb the outside world, search for the traces of Zhu Duhan and Mai Ziqi in the urban area." ”

"Yes, sir!" On the other end of the phone, Li Feng agreed.

Li Shaoqing hummed and hung up the phone, and then, a new question popped up in his mind - the urban area is not as good as the suburbs, all places seem to be safe, looking for Zhu Duhan and Mai Ziqi is tantamount to/looking for a needle in a haystack, can you really find it?

Fei Yue and Bai Qianheng also thought of this question, and the three of them glanced at each other, all with solemn expressions and gloomy faces.
