On the street of a certain street in Boston, under the dim street lamp in the evening, Duke who was walking back to school to bid farewell to Shuya hummed a little song, for him, the days back to Boston were too relaxed, compared to the busy days in China, life here is more regular, not to mention that there is a talented beautiful girl like Shuya who is pleasing to the eye.

There is also Susanna's sneaky enthusiasm like fire.

Days like this are the days of Duke's dreams.

As he was walking, a black Japanese-made SUV slowly approached, "Hey, buddy, how about getting to Silverstone?" After the glass window in the front of the SUV was rolled down, a blond young man poked his head out and asked.

Seeing someone asking for directions, Duke subconsciously approached the car and pointed in the direction of Silverstone Restaurant, "Turn left at the front intersection, then go right at the next intersection, and walk about 500 meters to see a tall building, and Silverstone Restaurant is on the roof of that tall building." ”

"Oh, thank you," the blonde young man replied politely, and then, as if remembering something, he suddenly said in surprise, "You are Dr. Duke?" ”

Duke nodded subconsciously, the SUV stopped, and the blonde young man in the front seat stepped out of the car and said to Duke very excitedly, "What a coincidence, Dr. Duke, the brainwave game you created has been a great help, my brother is your big admirer, I have to thank you." ”

After saying that, the blonde young man opened the back door of the SUV, and without saying anything, he put Dukla in, Duke has seen a lot of soliciting customers in China like robbing people, but I really haven't encountered such a straightforward and forcible pull, when did Lao Mei also start to do this?

Duke, who didn't have time to react, got into the car in such a daze, and the blonde young man sat in the back seat close to Duke, and Duke found that there was a black man in the other side of the car. The SUV quickly sped away, blending in with the rolling traffic and moving forward, not at all in the direction of the so-called Silverstone restaurant that Duke had just instructed.

Something was wrong, something was wrong, and although the blonde guy and the black guy around him didn't say a word, Duke knew that things weren't at all what the blonde guy said.

"Pete, you've always talked too much nonsense," the middle-aged white man driving the car was the first to speak, "when will you be able to learn to do things neatly and not like your mother-in-law just now, do you think it's Hollywood movies?" It takes so much dialogue to pass the long 2 or 3 hours. ”

"But my methods have always worked, haven't they?" The blonde young man named Pete showed no sense of repentance at all, "Hans, when you know how to do things with your brain, you won't just be a driver." ”

It seems that he is the head of these three people.

"Dr. Duke, I think you've seen that," Pete said to Duke with a smile as he turned his head and smiled, "you've been kidnapped. He said this as naturally and sincerely as if he were talking to a friend.

"But don't worry, there are hundreds of thousands of kidnappings in the United States every year," Pete said, as if he was making a news report, "and the ransom was paid, and more than 98 percent of the hostages were unharmed." So, I hope you can understand and stay cooperative, and we don't want this to go in the direction of a small probability event. ”

Sure enough, he was kidnapped.

After Duke confirmed this fact, his heart twitched, but the nervous mood just now was calmed down a lot by Pete's words, whether it was news or film and television dramas, a polite kidnapper like Pete had never encountered it himself.

"Now, we need you to hand over your communication tools, wallets, watches, etc.," Pete continued calmly. "You won't need these things for the rest of the day. Of course, I advise you not to resist or try to resist as well, and not to believe in Hollywood movies, as if the hostages can find a chance to get out on their own. ”

"In fact, this is not the case at all, in our industry, there are only two reasons for the death of the hostages, the first is the refusal to pay the ransom, and the second is to try to resist." Pete seems to be understating these things. Duke's scalp tingled when he heard it, and he felt the murderous aura contained in the bland words.

"Pete, you're really wasting your mouth if you don't become a priest!" Hans, who was driving, couldn't stand Pete's chatter and sneered again.

But Duke didn't feel him at all, among the three people, although the black man has been silent, just sitting like a mountain, giving Duke a kind of psychological pressure, Duke feels that the most threatening is still the chattering Pete, don't look at him talking a lot, but he really has a tendency to resist, and it is estimated that he is the most ruthless.

This is a typical smiling tiger.

Duke obediently took out his mobile phone, wallet, etc.

"OK, Dr. Duke is really a person who understands the times, so it's a lot easier for everyone." Pete complimented, then took Duke's iPhone and turned it off and tossed it aside. "The next thing we're going to do is put on a blindfold and a sealer, it's a procedure, and none of us want accidents. I think Dr. Duke will be happy to cooperate. ”

What else can Duke do, he glanced at the black charcoal black man next to him with a bulging waist, needless to say that it was a crime tool, Duke didn't dare to act rashly to cause the other party to use a crime tool. He was just thinking quickly about how he could inform Shu Ya of their further accurate information.

Before handing over the iPhone, Duke had already sent the news of his kidnapping to Shu Ya through the iPhoneWiFi function, and he told Shu Ya not to act rashly, let alone go directly to the police to report the police, but to Qin Tairan in the consulate. He has the impression that the police in the United States are always late after the protagonist's accident, and Duke does not want to be such a tragic protagonist.

It's a pity that the other party turned off the iPhone, otherwise Duke would have been able to accurately report his location to Shuya through it. And none of the mobile phones on these kidnappers have the wifi function turned on, and Duke's Kerry is not as powerful as Lem, and he can directly access the system through the 3G signal in the air.

With the blindfolds on and the sealing glue, it was difficult for Duke to sense which direction the kidnappers were heading. It just felt like about an hour later, changing a car somewhere and getting back on the road, and every few hours Pete tore off the mouthpiece to get Duke to drink some water, eat some bread and chocolate, and most of the convenience was solved in the field.

Pete, who was originally talkative, also became reticent after putting a blindfold on Duke, so for most of the time, Duke could only listen to Michael's beastly howl in the car, and had no idea how much time had passed and how far had come.

After receiving Duke's message, Shuya initially thought it was just a joke by Duke, but when she couldn't get through to Duke's phone and ran to Duke's dormitory in a panic and couldn't find anyone, she realized that all this was true.

Shu Ya is a little girl who is just in her early twenties, and when she suddenly encounters such a big thing, she has no idea for a while, and after calming down for a while, she called Suzanne and Selena.

After listening to Shu Ya explain the matter, Suzanne carefully looked at the message that Duke left for Shu Ya, looked up and said, "You better contact this person named Qin Tairan first and see what he says?" ”

Suzanne paused, "It's unclear what the kidnappers are trying to do, so any unnecessary action could be a disaster; If the other party is trying to extort money, it is not a big problem, looking at the information sent by Duke, he doesn't know any of these kidnappers, and his attitude is mild, I think it should not be some other reason. ”

"We try to prepare cash and funds that can be used, according to the statistics of kidnapping and ransom cases in the United States last year, as long as the ransom is delivered in time, the safety of the people involved is still relatively guaranteed."

Suzanne is worthy of being engaged in the media, and she knows much more about these situations than Shuya and Selena.

"Okay, I'll get in touch with Clement, and after leaving the necessary liquidity, all the transferable funds of MI will be cleared to ensure that they are ready to use." Selena agreed without saying a word. Although everyone knows that if it is blackmail this time, the price is definitely not low, but no one has put their minds on money.

They all know that with Duke, everyone's wealth will continue to grow like an avalanche.

So at this moment, everyone is trying their best to figure out how to get Duke out.

The phone number that Duke provided to Shu Ya was obviously Qin Tairan's private phone, so although Qin Tairan was in a meeting after Shu Ya called, he was immediately connected, Shu Ya simply explained the situation, Qin Tairan was silent for a few seconds, and then categorically decided to rush from New York to Boston to solve the matter with all his might.

The lunar robot of the domestic lunar landing project is progressing smoothly, and Duke has made great contributions to it, and a military senior executive has looked at the performance of the lunar robot and put forward requirements for the feasibility of this technology in the military, so it is clear that Duke is the object that Qin Tairan needs to focus on, and he is a scientist with important value.

That's why there are HKUST cooperation projects and related honors, and these actions are just a gesture to win over Duke.

Science knows no borders, but Duke has to feel that scientists have borders.

Of course, ordinary people don't know about these deployments at all, but at HKUST, that is, President Liu Zhiguo has some contact with the upper echelons. Qin Tairan, as the person in charge of related work in the United States, of course, also has some instructions.

Qin Tairan not only went to Boston in person, but also immediately launched a secret channel, and soon contacted the local gangster forces in Boston, when more than 2 hours, Qin Tairan rushed to Boston, and the news of returning from the secret channel showed that this matter had nothing to do with the underground world of Boston.

A powerful person even transferred the local surveillance video data at the time of the accident through the model information provided by Duke, but unfortunately the sky was dark and the surveillance video effect was not good.
