Chapter 1: Fifty Pounds of Gold
In a dance hall, Ren Qiuling drank bubble tea. Today she is dressed up very brightly, and her close-fitting clothes perfectly outline her delicate figure. In the dazzling lanterns, in the deafening music, a well-dressed man walked towards Ren Qiuling with a smile. He bent down gentlemanly and asked, "Ma'am, may I ask you to dance?" ”
Ren Qiuling glanced at the man with disgust, then reached out and put it on the man's right hand, then stood up and followed the man to the dance floor.
Ren Qiuling's dancing skills are great, just a few spins make her the focus of everyone's attention. The man looked at her in fascination, and the palm of his hand on her waist gradually slid down, holding her buttocks.
Ren Qiuling raised her slap and slapped the man in the face, and with the screams on the dance floor, the man covered his face and looked at Ren Qiuling in surprise. Ren Qiuling turned around and walked out of the dance floor and strode out the door.
She walked out into the street outside the ballroom, the night breeze blowing her long hair and making her dress ripple. She looked up at the night view of the city, her eyes blurred and sad.
The man chased after him and shouted from afar: "Qiu Ling! What happened to you? ”
Ren Qiuling didn't move.
The man ran up to her and said, "Are you alright?" I'm so sorry just now. ”
Ren Qiuling hugged her shoulders and said, "I should say I'm sorry." In fact, as you know, I'm no longer the eldest lady of the Ren family, and I can no longer play like before. Before she knew it, her tears were streaming down her face, shining in the light.
The man took out his handkerchief and handed it to her, saying, "Is it because of my uncle?" Rest assured, I still love you as much as I did before. ”
Ren Qiuling didn't take the handkerchief, still looking into the distance and said, "Alas! Someone paid a lot of money to buy me, and I'm not a free person anymore. ”
The man had a sarcastic smile on his face, but maintained a concerned tone, "How much?" As long as you say a number, I will definitely return it to him! ”
Ren Qiuling sighed and said, "Fifty catties of gold - he used the weight of the Song Dynasty, and today's weight should be about thirty-one catties." ”
At last the man exclaimed, "Ah! Are you worth that much? ”
Ren Qiuling's voice was cold, and she threw down a sentence: "Maybe he's blind!" "Turn around and walk into the night.
Go back two weeks. At that time, Ren Qiuling was still investigating the case in Straw Hat Village, although the truth was found, but the murderer Song Yiyan fled.
She drove away from Jinshui, with Lee Myung-bak's silver-gray sedan behind her.
The car was speeding down the highway when her cell phone rang. She pressed the call button and asked, "Who are you?" How do I have my number? ”
A strange man's voice rang on the phone: "If you want your father to live, make up a million in three days!" Otherwise, you'll never see your dad again! ”
Ren Qiuling was stunned for a moment, and the other party hung up the phone.
Ren Qiuling is good at body language interpretation, and is not good at language analysis. But her father's life was at stake, and she had to guess.
First of all, the other party is not a vicious person. The state of what he says is called the passive voice, that is, it is premised on Ren Qiuling's actions: If you are like this, I will be like you. If you're not good, I'm good. That's basically what the passive voice looks like. When a person uses a passive voice, it means that he is not very controlling, and he has little confidence in himself.
Secondly, there are several brief pauses in the speech - a sign of a lack of self-confidence. Although the other party's voice pretended to be fierce, he must have trembled when he said these cruel words. Of course, a professional speech analyst can analyze more things, but Ren Qiuling can only do this at present.
However, the combination of these analyses can lead to a serious inference, that is, Ren Qiuling's father has indeed fallen into the hands of this person. A man with little control and low self-confidence calls the detective to ask for a ransom, indicating that he does control Ren Qiuling's father. At the same time, it also shows that the situation is very serious, and the other party has indeed been forced to a certain extent, and if he does not do what he says, he may tear up the ticket.
Ren Qiuling drove the car fast and quickly shook off Lee Myung-bak. At the beginning of the night, her car returned to Binjiang.
The car slowly drove into a street, and you could see that there were car markets on both sides of the street, and many vehicles were sitting motionless in the deserted trading hall.
On the side of a parking lot, Ren Qiuling stopped the car and made a phone call. Not long after, a middle-aged man came in a car.
The middle-aged man parked the car in front of Ren Qiuling's car, got out of the car and shouted, "Miss Ren, are you free to come and see me?" ”
Ren Qiuling got out of the car, stroked her car and said, "Well, I urgently need cash." Uncle Qian, help me, how much is this car worth? ”
The middle-aged man named Uncle Qian glanced at the car and said in a low voice, "You really want to sell it?" It's your father's birthday present! ”
Ren Qiuling sighed and said, "I'm not Miss Ren anymore...... Anyway, you know everything, how much do you think it's worth? ”
Uncle Qian walked over, looked at the black car with a professional eye, and said, "Well, in fact, you also know that the second-hand car market is not in a recession. It's new, but it's hard to sell more than 50,000. In this way, I will give fifty thousand! ”
Ren Qiuling nodded and said softly, "Okay." I know you've helped me - someone else may not be able to give 50,000! ”
Uncle Qian was very simple, took out a thick brown paper bag from his car, handed it to Ren Qiuling, and said, "Your father took care of me, but now...... I can't help him with anything. Be careful yourself. ”
Ren Qiuling nodded, carefully opened the brown paper bag and looked at it, waved her hand and said, "Uncle Qian, goodbye!" ”
After returning to the dormitory, Ren Qiuling looked at the photos on the wall - some of them were taken of her at the Leaning Tower of Pisa and some of them were taken of her at Disneyland...... The girl in the photo is so happy, so happy, as if she is from another world.
Early the next morning, Ren Qiuling's phone rang, and she asked, "Where is it?" After the other party told her the location, she turned off her mobile phone and went out, took a taxi to an abandoned factory, got out of the car and walked into the factory gate.
The factory building opposite is empty, and the glass of many windows has disappeared. She strode into the building and stepped on her high heels to a hall on the second floor. There were about thirty men, all dark-skinned and rough-handed. Their clothes were in tatters, and some were still wearing overalls. It can be seen that these people are workers and should be construction workers.
"Where's the money?" A young man shouted.
Ren Qiuling held up the brown paper bag and said, "I only raised 50,000 yuan - I'm really sorry!" An old worker took the brown paper bag and took out the money and counted it.
A young man pointed at Ren Qiuling behind the crowd and shouted, "Sorry for the fart!" My wife is so sick that she is dying, and I want to take her salary to treat her, can you pay the hospitalization fee with sorry? The more the young man spoke, the more angry he became, and he raised his hand and was about to rush over.
Ren Qiuling closed her eyes.
"Forget it!" The old man who counted the money grabbed Xiao Nian and said, "The debt is owed by her father, and it is useless for you to scold her." He turned back to Ren Qiuling and said, "Miss Ren, we don't want to do this either." Really, we're being cornered with no choice! ”
Ren Qiuling opened her eyes and said, "Where is my father?" ”
The old worker pointed inside, "He's still kneeling there." ”
Ren Qiuling walked into the crowd and saw her father kneeling on the concrete floor. I hadn't seen him for a few days, and my father was even more decadent than before, and his hair had turned a lot gray.
Ren Qiuling walked up to her father and asked in a low voice, "They didn't treat you well, did they?" ”
Ren's father looked up and said, "Go away!" None of your business! Get out! ”
Ren Qiuling didn't leave, she knelt down to her father's side: "Dad, I'll kneel with you for a while." ”
"Ren Zhihao! What do you mean? The young man shouted, "Kneel for me, and I will kneel for you." Big boss Ren, I beg you, send us your wages! I'm waiting for this to treat my wife's illness, you have mercy on me! The worker did what he said and immediately knelt in front of his father.
Ren Zhihao lowered his head in shame, "My family has no money anymore!" There is no money left! Take my life if you want! ”
One by one, the workers roared, and the voices were so loud that they couldn't hear what they were yelling.
"Why don't we sell his daughter!" One worker said, "She's good-looking, she should be worth a lot of money." ”
Ren Qiuling lowered her head.
Ren Zhihao roared: "It's none of her business!" You let her go—you go, you go!" I don't have a daughter like you! He tried hard to push Ren Qiuling away.
Ren Qiuling let her father push and shove, and still knelt firmly beside her father.
At this time, the voices of the workers suddenly quieted down, and they all turned their heads to look outside, and someone asked, "Who are you?" ”
The people from outside did not speak, but seemed to push a person away, and a worker shouted, "Why do you want to do it!" ”
A voice yelled, "Do it? Who's going to do it? Move! ”
The workers made way one after another, and then Ren Qiuling saw a man with his chest open, revealing his rock-solid chest muscles, and walking towards him with heavy steps.
Ren Qiuling nodded, letting the hair in front of her forehead block her face.
But the man didn't care whether Ren Qiuling was ashamed to death or not, walked up to her, stretched out his hand to pull out his hair, and said, "Huh! This girl is good! This old man, are you willing to sell her? He asked Ren Zhihao.
The man put the suitcase on the ground heavily, and the box hit the concrete floor with a "boom" sound, which showed that the contents of the box were very heavy.
Ren Qiuling looked at the man in front of her viciously.
Ren Zhihao looked at Ren Qiuling, then at the man in front of him, his face sank, and said, "Although I, Ren Zhihao, have declined, I will not betray my daughter!" Get out! ”
The man said disdainfully, "You can look at the price I offer first, and then make a decision!" Without waiting for Ren Zhihao to react, the man opened the suitcase.
The box was covered with red silk, and the red silk was full of shiny gold bars.
Ren Qiuling sneered: "Ha, Zou Yan! If you don't get out, I'll blow your head out! She reached out and pulled her pistol from her lower back and put it at the man's head.
