Chapter 7: The Past Is Like Smoke (1)
After talking to Gong Yuzhu on the phone, Tang Shu left his residence with a complicated mood and rushed to the company to deal with a sudden emergency.
On the way, Tang Shu couldn't help but think of the past and recalled the thrilling journey of her trip to Europe a year ago.
At that time, Tang Shu's German branch had not long been established and was in the process of going public, and as the chairman and CEO of the head office, Tang Shu invited his friend Gong Yuzhu to come to Germany together, so that he could have a relaxing trip to Europe after work.
At the beginning of the period, the listing and travel were unusually smooth, and Tang Shu and Gong Yuzhu also had a lot of fun.
After spending a week of relaxing time, Gong Yuzhu suddenly received a call from his agent, saying that a movie that was originally scheduled to start shooting next month was going to start filming this month because of the schedule problem of the male lead. Gong Yuzhu could have refused, after all, the contract had already been signed. However, the producers of the film were acquaintances, and the relationship between their parents was also good, so they agreed to their request.
Tang Shu was originally a little dissatisfied with Gong Yuzhu's arrangement, but there were some twists and turns in the listing of the branch, and finally agreed to Gong Yuzhu's arrangement. So after she sent Gong Yuzhu on the plane back to China, she left the airport alone, but on the way back to the company, there was a thrilling experience that she will never forget for the rest of her life.
There is basically no speed limit on the highways in Germany, but Tang Shu still drives on the road at a speed of 120 kilometers in an orderly manner.
While he was on the move, a truck in front of Tang Shu suddenly lost control and changed lanes, and Tang Shu, who was frightened, was in a cold sweat, quickly slowed down and stopped.
I thought it was a truck that was out of control and almost caused a traffic accident, but Tang Shu suddenly found that three more black vans were parked around him, sealing all the routes to death.
After Tang Shu felt that something was wrong, she quickly locked the car door and took out her mobile phone to call the police.
With a "bang", the car window was smashed by the man in black outside, and then the muzzle of a black hole was pressed against Tang Shu's temple.
"Get out of the car!" The man snatched the mobile phone that had not yet been broadcast in the hands of Tang Shu, who had already turned pale with fright, and then threw it into the barrier on the side of the road, and said to Tang Shu in a cold voice.
Tang Shu has long been so frightened that her soul is not possessed, although she has also seen a strong woman in the business world who has gone through ups and downs in the world, but where has she experienced this kind of thing that only appears in movies, and she has not even thought about it.
Facing the other party's fierce face and feeling the cold muzzle on the temple, Tang Shu subconsciously opened the car door and obediently stepped out of the car.
The other party also had a clear division of labor, and in just a short time, they stuffed Tang Shu into a van, and the scene was handled cleanly, without the slightest sign.
After getting into the car, Tang Shu was put on a black cloth bag and couldn't see anything.
Tang Shu only felt that the car had just started, and a bare-eared brake sound sounded.
Then, there was a loud "bang".
Tang Shu was unprepared, and the whole person flew out of the seat in an instant, slammed into the back of the seat in front of him, and lost consciousness.
When Tang Shu woke up, she found herself lying in the back seat of a car, feeling the cool breeze blowing in from the front window, and she finally confirmed that this car was the one she was driving just now.
Tang Shu didn't dare to make a move, slowly moved her body, moved her eyes up, and finally saw the driver's face clearly.
It was an Asian face, with sharp edges and corners, and although the face looked young, the eyes were extremely deep, making it impossible to see through his inner world. At this time, the light in the car was a little dim, coupled with the cigarette burning in his mouth, the picture was extremely strong.
"Now that you're awake, get up quickly. Jianren had already noticed Tang Shu's slight movements, so he said without looking back.
"Eh, you're not one of them?" Tang Shu heard that Jianren was speaking Mandarin, and quickly sat up, leaning against the car door in fear, keeping the farthest distance from the other party.
"No, I'm about to enter Rucheng City, where are you going?" Jianren still didn't glance at Tang Shu, and drove by himself.
"Thank you for saving me, just get me here. Tang Shu took out a business card from her pocket with the address of her branch and handed it to Jianren.
Jianren took the business card, glanced at it, and then stopped talking.
After escaping, Tang Shu was a little depressed, and when she saw that the other party didn't speak, she kept silent, and the car sped all the way to the downstairs of Tang Shu's company and stopped.
"Thank you, my name is Tang Shu. Tang Shu didn't rush to get out of the car, but stretched out her jade hand and said to the other party.
"I'm Jianren, you owe me nine thousand euros, when will you give it to me?" Jianren saw that the other party stretched out his jade hand, so he had to stretch out his right hand, shook it gently, and then said.
"You...... Why do I owe you money?" Hearing the other party say that she was a slut, Tang Shu originally wanted to have a seizure, but when she thought that she hadn't escaped yet, she endured it, and she was a little confused about what she owed him.
"My name is Jianren, the construction of construction, the benevolence of righteousness. Just now, in order to save you, I scrapped a car that I just rented, should you bear the loss?" Jianren also discovered the other party's misunderstanding and quickly explained.
"Oh, I'll take care of it. Tang Shu blushed instantly, knowing that she had misunderstood the other party just now. But she never thought that there would be someone in this world with such a name. Jianren, in fact, it's still a very good name to savor it.
"Then hurry up and get the money, I'm in a hurry. Jianren saw that the other party showed no signs of getting out of the car, and reminded her a little helplessly.
"Well, wait a minute, I'll go. Tang Shu also knew that she was out of shape, so she hurriedly got out of the car and prepared to go to the company to get money for Jianren.
On the way to withdraw the money, Tang Shu finally regained her usual wisdom and wisdom: how could he just let go of such a mysterious man as Jianren?
Perhaps, he is also hiding some ulterior secrets, and if he has other intentions for himself, he must really take care of it and prevent it from happening.
If the other party really has no other intentions, how can a talent like him let go so easily?
After making up her mind, Tang Shu just took a look around the company, and then came out to see Jianren again.
"I'm sorry, everyone in our company has already left work, and I haven't been able to come up with the money. You see if this will work, you come to the company to find me early tomorrow morning, and I will definitely prepare the money for you. Tang Shu pretended to be very sorry for the twisted posture of the little woman and begged the other party.
"Well, then I'll come over tomorrow morning at half past eight. Jianren didn't think much about it, after all, it was a little late at this time, and it was indeed a little impossible for a little girl to come up with nine thousand euros. Although, looking at the other party's bright clothes, nine thousand euros is not a small amount after all.
"You can drive my car first, and you might as well have a mortgage, so that you can rest assured. Tang Shu saw that the other party agreed, and hurriedly said.
"Well, I just need a car. Jianren was indeed a little anxious, after all, he had already made an appointment with that person, and if he didn't hurry over now, he would be late.
So, Jianren drove away, leaving Tang Shu alone.
"Ninth Grandpa, I'm Xiaoshu, can you help me check someone?" Seeing Jianren drive away without any delay, Tang Shu's interest in him became more and more great, and he immediately made a call to Jiu Ye'er, who was far away in China.
"It's Xiaoshu, who are you going to check?" The ninth master's name is Che Chengyong, and he is the righteous brother of Tang Shu's grandfather Tang Xuan, ranking ninth, so the capital calls him the ninth master, Tang Shu is he grew up watching and likes this little girl very much.
"I only know that his name is Jianren, the construction of construction, the benevolence of righteousness. Tang Shu told the other party what she knew.
"Well, Jianren, this name is still quite strange. But you little girl, just give me this bit of information, how can you let me help you check it?" The ninth master is angry and funny, this Tang Shu is whimsical, just relying on a name is like looking for a needle in a haystack, which makes him a little embarrassed.
"Well, this person is in Germany now, if my expectations are correct, he should have just left the country here today, and the customs should be able to keep a record. Tang Shu thought about things before and after, and said the idea that was most likely to be close to the truth.
"You, you actually gave me a problem, wait, I'll let people investigate. The ninth master said helplessly.
"Hehe, thank you, Grandpa Jiu, when I go back, I will bring you good wine, and I will definitely satisfy your old man. As soon as Tang Shu heard that the ninth master agreed, her heart suddenly burst into joy, and she couldn't help but mention how sweet it was.
"Forget about the wine, but you can cook me a meal yourself, I really want to eat the braised lion's head you made." The ninth master said with a smile.
"Okay, when I return home, you and my grandfather will have two more drinks when the time comes. Tang Shu said with a smile.
After Tang Shu and Jiu Ye'er talked on the phone, they made another call to Tang Xuan, told him about his experience of being kidnapped, and expressed his guess.
After all, nothing is for nothing. Today's kidnapping is definitely not a temporary initiative of those kidnappers, it is definitely instigated by someone behind the scenes, and the most likely is just a few people, no matter how stupid Tang Shu is, he can guess a rough idea.
