"It's just an uncle, would he be willing to give so much money?" one of the men questioned.
After hearing this, Ye Jinfan just sneered and said: "When he gives enough, you can put his niece back. If you are not satisfied with the number given, you can do whatever you want. Anyway, her uncle is not here, he is far away."
Tongcheng, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, you will not suffer any loss, right?"
After saying this, the two men immediately understood what he meant and looked at each other and smiled.
Lu Tang, who was sitting on the bed, also understood the meaning of Ye Jinfan's words.
Whatever you want, it means that even if the vote is broken, it doesn't matter, right?
Anyway, he will go to find Ye Xi next, and then take Ye Xiyuan away. He may never return to this land again, so he has no scruples at all and is not afraid of bearing any consequences.
Even if she died like this, he would not look back at her again.
He could even push her to death without mercy.
Lu Tang lay there quietly, and finally shed tears quietly again.
She finally knew how stupid and stupid she was——
If time could go back, she would definitely not make such stupid mistakes again and again. She would end everything with him when he harmed the Lu family, her father went to jail, and her mother was hospitalized.
But now, is it possible to look back?
Lu Tang gritted his teeth and remained silent, letting his tears silently soak into the pillow next to his face.
Ye Jinfan, on the other hand, never looked at her twice.
…
Tongcheng, Huo family mansion.
During the family time after dinner, it was rare that Huo Jinxi returned home early, so the whole family sat around the living room. Huo Qiran listened attentively to Mu Qian reading the story, while Yue Yue lay in her father's arms, occasionally opening her eyes wide.
With her eyes listening to Mu Qian's voice, most of the time, her attention was focused on her father's face, interacting and playing with him secretly.
Mu Qian was halfway through reading a story when her cell phone suddenly rang.
Huo Qiran was getting excited when he heard the cell phone ringing and couldn't help but frowned, but he still got up and helped Mu Qian take the cell phone next to him, "Meng, Lin, Sheng..."
Upon hearing these three words, Huo Jinxi, who was concentrating on interacting with Yueyue, suddenly raised his eyes and glanced this way.
Mu Qian also looked up from the book, took the phone, and answered the call.
"Qianqian, I'm sorry to bother you." Meng Linsheng said straight to the point, "I'm calling you so late because I have something I want to ask Mr. Huo to help me with -"
Mu Qian couldn't help but look up at Huo Jinxi, and then said, "Say."
"I would like to ask Mr. Huo to help me raise 20 million in cash in Z city. I can transfer money online immediately. A higher ratio will not be a problem, but the cash over there must be collected within an hour." Meng Lin
Sheng said, "I don't have many acquaintances in Z city. I know that Mr. Huo has connections all over the country. He is the one who can help me most in this matter."
When Mu Qian heard this, her forehead couldn't help but twitch slightly, "Why do you need so much cash?"
"Ransom." Meng Linsheng said, "Tangtang was kidnapped over there. The other party demanded 20 million in cash, which must be handed over within two hours."
Mu Qian couldn't help but pursed her lips slightly. After taking a deep breath, she turned to look at Huo Jinxi, "Z City, 30 million, cash, within one hour."
When Huo Jinxi heard this, he frowned slightly, and then said, "Are you sure the other party knows how much 30 million in cash is?"
Although Mu Qian also had the same doubts, it was obviously inappropriate to discuss these at this time, so she just said: "Please help me, Mr. Meng rarely opens his mouth -"
Huo Jinxi glanced at her again, put Yueyue in Huo Qiran's arms, stood up and went upstairs.
Mu Qian gave Huo Qiran a few words of advice and followed him upstairs.
When she reached the second floor, she asked Meng Linsheng again: "Why did Lu Tang go to Z city? Could this matter be related to Ye Jinfan?"
"Otherwise, who else could it be?" Meng Linsheng said, "Tangtang got the whereabouts of Ye Jinfan from my people, and ran over to find him, and this is the result. However, this matter is weird, but it is beyond our reach, so I will pay attention to it for the time being.
Not much."
Mu Qian responded.
As Huo Jinxi said before, 30 million in cash is such a large amount that it cannot be handled with just a box or two sacks. If the delivery is to be smooth, a car is likely to be used. Once the car is used, then
It's very easy to track.
And if the other party is Ye Jinfan and still makes such a request, it would be really weird.
"Did the other party say anything else?" Mu Qian asked again.
"Not yet." Meng Linsheng said, "We should wait until the money is raised before giving new information."
"Then don't worry." Mu Qian couldn't figure out the key to this for a while, so she could only comfort him temporarily and said, "I'll keep an eye on the progress of raising money and keep you informed at any time."
Meng Linsheng responded in a low voice, and then said: "Thank you, Qianqian."
"It's just a small matter. There's no need to be so polite between friends, right?" Mu Qian said as she walked into Huo Jinxi's study.
Huo Jinxi was on the phone, obviously communicating with people in Z city.
Mu Qian walked to his desk, opened his computer, flipped to a certain document skillfully, opened it, and quickly saw what he wanted to see.
In the document, there are photos and messages sent at any time by people who have followed Ye Jinfan all the way——
Mu Qian found the last few photos and soon saw Lu Tang.
At 19:35, Ye Jinfan appeared alone in a bustling night market;
At 19:43, Lu Tang appeared in front of Ye Jinfan’s desk;
At 19:54, the two people left the night market together;
At 20:03, two people had a fierce conflict under the family hotel where Ye Jinfan was staying, causing passers-by to stop and watch;
At 20:06, Ye Jinfan pushed Lu Tang down and turned around to go upstairs. Then, Lu Tang quickly got up and chased after him;
At 20:20, two men who did not look like decent people appeared downstairs and also went upstairs...
Photos end here.
After going upstairs, Ye Jinfan did not come down again, and Lu Tang, who followed him upstairs, never appeared again.
While listening to Huo Jinxi's call, Mu Qian stared at the photos in front of her, always feeling that something was wrong.
She kept enlarging the photos and carefully observed the details in each photo. What she noticed most was the facial expressions of Ye Jinfan and Lu Tang.
Needless to say, Lu Tang was in an almost crazy state of intoxication when she saw Ye Jinfan;
And Ye Jinfan... Mu Qian stared at his face, but felt that she could never find a definite answer from this charming face.
It wasn't until Huo Jinxi finished the call that Mu Qian raised her head to look at him and said, "Has it been raised?"
"It's not difficult to find a few people and get five million in cash for each person." Huo Jinxi looked at the time and said, "We can get it together in about thirty minutes."
Mu Qian heard this and quickly sent a message to Meng Linsheng.
When he raised his head, Huo Jinxi was looking at the photos she had opened, his eyes silent and silent.
"What do you think this is going on?" Mu Qian looked at him and asked, "Is it because Ye Jinfan thinks that the money that comes to his door should not be wasted, or... is he having other ideas?"
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi just said: "We will know in a short time."
Mu Qian was quiet for a moment and then said: "At Qi Ran School, the people he originally arranged have really evacuated, right?"
Huo Jinxi responded lightly.
"Then he was planning to sneak to Xiangcheng tonight, right?"
Huo Jinxi nodded again.
Mu Qian turned her head and stared at the computer screen in front of her, becoming somewhat silent for a moment.
"What are you thinking about?" Huo Jinxi smoothed her hair and asked in a low voice.
After a while, Mu Qian said: "I don't know what I'm thinking... maybe it's something ridiculous."
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi didn't ask any questions. He just lowered his head and kissed her heart.
Mu Qian then raised her eyes to look at him again and said, "Can your people over there help see what's going on with Lu Tang in his hands?"
"You can, but it's not necessary." Huo Jinxi said.
Mu Qian couldn't help but frown slightly, and looked at him for a moment, but ultimately said nothing.
After all, she knew Huo Jinxi's nature very well.
To him, there are too many irrelevant people and things in this world, and he is too lazy to spend even one more minute paying attention to them.
Even though Lu Tang is at a critical moment, it has nothing to do with him.
This person probably has such a cold nature, but Mu Qian cannot criticize and care about such coldness.
After all, with such a cold nature, he had made too many concessions and indulgences for her.
Thinking of this, Mu Qian stretched out her hand and hooked his neck, saying: "Okay, okay, if you don't want to look, don't look. After this lesson, Lu Tang will wake up."
This is obviously not what Huo Jinxi is concerned about.
He said: "I just want to see what other tricks Ye Jinfan can play——"
…
City Z.
The rain was getting heavier at night, and Ye Jinfan stood by the window, staring at the thin rain curtain outside the window, smoking a cigarette without saying a word.
On the bed behind him, Lu Tang lay motionless, as if he had lost consciousness.
On the sofa in the back, two men sat together, each staring at their mobile phones.
I don’t know how long it took, but one of them suddenly stood up and said, “Here’s the news! They said the money is ready!”
Ye Jinfan then turned around, glanced at the person lying on the bed, and quickly looked at the two people again, saying: "Then you arrange for someone to collect the ransom - remember, after receiving the money, you must change the car as soon as possible
, and then move to a safe place."
"Don't worry, we have already made arrangements." As he spoke, one of them walked up, stretched out his hand and patted Lu Tang's face, saying, "Don't worry, little girl, as long as your uncle doesn't play any tricks.
, we will let you go after we collect the money - ah ah ah -"
The man suddenly screamed, and another man immediately came forward to take a look. It turned out that it was Lu Tang who silently opened his mouth and bit the man's hand.
"Fuck!" The man behind suddenly slapped Lu Tang hard on the face.
After the bitten man withdrew his hand, he also slapped Lu Tang hard in the face.
However, no matter how they fought, Lu Tang remained silent.
Ye Jinfan only glanced in that direction, as if he was annoyed, and quickly looked away and walked out the door——
His figure disappeared outside the door, and Lu Tang finally groaned uncontrollably, opened his mouth, and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing her like this, the two men seemed to be relieved and walked to the side again, cursing.
Lu Tang's cheeks were red and swollen. He stared at the mouthful of blood he spit out for a while, and finally slowly closed his eyes again.
