Chapter 70: Kidnapping for ransom

"Ahh Steve, Joseph has been kidnapped! ”

Jessica exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly handed the letter to Zeng Yingjian.

Zeng Yingjian took it, looked at the crooked handwriting, carefully distinguished, and finally understood the meaning.

Joseph seems to have been kidnapped, and Jessica is asked to ransom her with money.

However, the "ransom" demanded by the other party made Zeng Yingjian cry and laugh a little, and it was an "amazing" two hundred dollars.

Maybe the other party is also "tailor-made", knowing that Jessica has no money, so he only needs two hundred dollars.

The question is, in that case, why kidnap Joseph, a poor boy?

Wouldn't it be more cost-effective to kidnap a rich one?

Of course, Zeng Yingjian can only hide these doubts in his heart, but he can't say them.

For Jessica, Joseph is the most important thing.

"Steve, what should I do? Are we still going to call the police? ”

Just came back from the police station, the first thing Jessica thought of was, of course, to call the police, but she was worried about her brother's safety, so she couldn't make up her mind, so she subconsciously looked at Zeng Yingjian.

At a critical juncture, she could only count on Zeng Yingjian to make a decision.

Call the police for wool!

The address left on the letter is in Harlem, maybe the other party is a gang member, and if he called the police, could he dare to go to the police?

Even if they dare to go, Zeng Yingjian can't believe it!

With superhuman personal strength, Zeng Yingjian now believes in himself even more.

With Joseph's news, Zeng Yingjian's worries were almost gone.

Whether it was a real kidnapping or a fake kidnapping, he believed that as long as he could find Joseph, he could save him, which was the self-confidence cultivated through the experience of saving people and killing people several times.

"No, don't call the police. Look at this address, 144th Street, that can be in Harlem, how dare the police go? Don't worry, leave it to me! I'll go and get Joseph back in the evening!" ”

He was going to go to the Chinese gangsters in the south first, but he didn't expect that in the end, he still had to go to the north first.

"But, if it's too late, will Joseph be in danger?"

Jessica was still worried, she couldn't understand why Zeng Yingjian wanted to go at night, and she couldn't wait to leave immediately.

"Nope. They want money, and they won't do anything with Joseph. Jessica, trust me, Joseph must be fine! ”

Zeng Yingjian shook his head, looked into Jessica's eyes, and gave her a firm reassurance.

The night is his world, Zeng Yingjian certainly doesn't want to go during the day, as for Joseph, let him suffer a little and teach a little lesson-he can't say this to Jessica.

Of course Jessica believed his assurance, but—

"But, but, I don't have that much money!"

Jessica thought that Zeng Yingjian was going to use the money to ransom people, but thinking that her savings were only a few dozen dollars, she was so anxious that she almost cried again.

This silly girl!

Zeng Yingjian couldn't help laughing, patted her shoulder, and comforted:

"It's okay, I have a way!"

Money?

Zeng Yingjian also wants it!

Two hundred dollars is not much, but he doesn't have one, and his net worth is only more than ten dollars!

Then you can only speak with your fists.

Having tasted the sweetness of "talking with his fists", how could Zeng Yingjian honestly take money to ransom people?

Trust this thing, sometimes it's just so magical.

Jessica couldn't understand Zeng Yingjian's confidence at all, but it didn't prevent her from trusting him unconditionally.

Since Zeng Yingjian said so, she chose to believe it. She didn't go to the police, and she didn't rush to ransom herself.

She didn't ask much about Zeng Yingjian's choice to save people at night, he must have his reasons, didn't he?

However, seeing Zeng Yingjian calmly preparing lunch and even taking a nap in the afternoon, how could she calm down?

From noon to evening, Jessica had been walking around the living room, fidgeting, and even eating the lunch and dinner made by Zeng Yingjian absentmindedly.

After dinner, Jessica looked at the sky outside and urged Zeng Yingjian to set off:

"Steve, it's going to be dark soon, let's go!"

Originally, Zeng Yingjian wanted to wash the dishes before setting off, but Jessica couldn't wait, and dragged him out, in fact, there was still a period of time before it got dark!

She finally took out her pitiful savings of a few dozen dollars from the drawer and handed it to Zeng Yingjian:

"Steve, I just have so much money, let's bring it! What if you need it! ”

Zeng Yingjian shook his head, but he didn't argue with her, took the handful of dollar receipts, and carefully put them in the pocket on the inside of his clothes - this is Jessica's hard-earned money, and he can't lose it.

However, as Zeng Yingjian expected, Jessica stopped several taxis in a row, and without exception, as soon as the driver heard their destination, his head shook like a rattle and said that he would not go.

That place, maybe you can also consider it during the day, at night? Go and die?

"Huh! Let's go! Let's go over! Rest assured, it's in time! ”

Zeng Yingjian patted Jessica on the shoulder, smiled, and pulled her towards the north.

After such a toss, after walking for a while, it was dark, and even on the streets with street lights, there were few pedestrians to be seen - except for those most prosperous places, the streets of the United States at night, even after a few decades, the security is worrying!

"Ahh

In Jessica's exclamation, Zeng Yingjian suddenly turned around, picked her up by the waist, and ran up and turned into a street without street lights.

Accompanying Jessica to slowly press the road is a pleasure for Zeng Yingjian, but the distance of seven or eight kilometers, when will it take to get there?

"Ahh Steve! How do you run so fast? ”

Jessica subconsciously hugged Zeng Yingjian's neck, and after exclaiming, she lay in the crook of his arm, watching the vague buildings on both sides of the street fly back, but she didn't feel the bump herself, so she couldn't help but ask excitedly.

"Huh! I'm Superman! Of course, it could also be a vampire! ”

Zeng Yingjian teased.

"Ahh You're not a vampire! You're definitely Superman! ”

It was dark all around, and Jessica was so frightened that she drilled into his arms when she heard him talk about vampires.

"Haha! Don't you want to be a vampire too? Immortality! Why don't I bite you? ”

Looking at her cute appearance, Zeng Yingjian couldn't help but want to tease her.

"Ahh No! Jessica hurriedly shrank her hand around her neck.

"Haha! Lie to you! I'm not a vampire! ”

……

Jessica's weight basically had no effect on Zeng Yingjian, and he ran all the way, and it didn't take long for him to reach his destination.

"Huh? That's right! That's the car! ”

The narrow streets are lined with old houses. In the distance, Zeng Yingjian saw the black car, parked in front of a house, and the lights were faintly shining in the house.

It seems that Joseph is really here.

"Jessica, I see that car! Joseph should be right here. ”

As he spoke, Zeng Yingjian put Jessica down.

"Huh? Is it there? Where? Is that the one? ”

There were no street lights on the street, and there were clouds in the sky, and the only light was the dim light coming out of the window, and Jessica couldn't see it clearly, except for the faint outline of a car.

Slowly approaching, Zeng Yingjian had already heard the noise in the house, and it seemed that there was a group of people gambling.

He led Jessica to the door and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

"Check it out."

The one who opened the door was a big black man with a bald head and a round face, and after glancing at Zeng Yingjian's face, he was attracted by Jessica's beauty, and couldn't help but shout:

"Hey! Top dog! It's a hot chick! ”

He automatically ignored Zeng Yingjian, who was not tall, and that annoying gaze made Zeng Yingjian want to open an "oil sauce shop" in his nose.

But saving people is important, Zeng Yingjian forcibly resisted the urge to beat people, and said:

"We're here for Joseph! The money was brought, and what about Joseph? ”
