Almost three or four minutes later, Liu Mingyu sent Shen Leyi's contact information, and Xiao Zichen dialed it directly.
Toot toot…
The phone rang and Xiao Zichen put it on speakerphone. When the call was dialed, he and Mo Yurou were both stunned because the number Liu Mingyu sent was a domestic mobile phone number.
Toot toot…
The phone was still ringing, but no one answered the phone.
"Zi Chen, what should I do? She doesn't answer the phone."
Mo Yurou panicked again. Although this woman had never done anything extreme during the time she and Shen Leyi knew each other, Mo Yurou did not dare to guarantee that she would not hurt Luo Luo.
Luoluo was just a toddler who could not even speak clearly. She had no ability to resist or protect herself.
Thinking of this, Mo Yurou shed tears of anxiety again. Xiao Zichen on the side could only comfort Mo Yurou while dialing the number.
At this time, Shen Leyi was sitting in an apartment in Luo City. Next to her, there was a handsome and gentle man. On the sofa next to them, there was a child lying on the sofa. Shen Leyi was looking for him all over the city. Xiao Yingxi, Xiao Luoluo.
Little Luoluo seemed to be asleep. There was no movement. She closed her eyes and lay there peacefully. The noisy cell phone ringing in the room did not wake her up.
Shen Leyi looked at the cell phone that kept ringing. She panicked because she recognized the owner of the phone number on the caller ID.
Shen Leyi held the phone tightly, not daring to answer the call, let alone hang up. She stood up impatiently and paced back and forth in the living room.
"Didn't you say that everything went smoothly? Didn't you say that we would leave after taking this child away? Look outside, there are police everywhere, at the station, at the airport, and even the intersection out of the city is blocked. What should we do now? ah?"
Shen Leyi was originally a person with no independent opinions, but this time she was also bewitched by the man in front of her. Coupled with the unsatisfactory life in the UK for the past six months, she had evil thoughts.
Originally, they had a good discussion, but Xiao Zichen and Mo Yurou had brought her so much pain, so she wanted to retaliate in kind, take Mo Yurou and Xiao Zichen's daughter away and sell them to human traffickers, so that she could relieve her hatred, and then They were leaving Los Angeles, and no one would be able to find anything related to them.
But now it's better, everything has exceeded her expectations. Now she has the child, but the traffickers she originally contacted can't be contacted, and the outside is blocked by the police, making it impossible to leave the city of Los Angeles. If they continue like this, they Sooner or later the police will find out.
Compared to Shen Leyi's panic, that man was indeed much calmer. The corner of his mouth was slightly raised, a strange sneer flashed across his face, and he spoke quietly.
"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements, aren't they just some police officers? Why are you panicking?"
With that said, the man stood up, looked at Shen Leyi's cell phone that kept ringing and said.
"Call Xiao Zichen and tell him that if you want a daughter, prepare 10 million and go to Building 1 of the abandoned factory in the East District."
When Shen Leyi heard this, she immediately threw her phone on the sofa. Although she was scared, she had not lost her mind.
"No, you are trying to kidnap, which is illegal. How about we send the child back now, and if we turn ourselves in, we can just say it was a joke on them. As long as the child is fine, Xiao Zichen and the others won't do anything to us. .”
Shen Leyi rushed to the man, grabbed his hand and said nervously, but as soon as she finished speaking, the man threw her hand away angrily, then grabbed Shen Leyi's neck and pinched her hard. , said viciously.
"Shen Leyi, we agreed at the beginning that we would obey me in everything. Why, you want to go back on your word? Don't forget, can you survive in the UK without my money in the past six months?"
The man took off his gentle disguise and revealed a ferocious and evil expression. Shen Leyi panicked.
The man was strangling her neck tightly. Shen Leyi felt that it was difficult to breathe, as if she might die at any time. She struggled to push the man away, but the man stepped on her directly to the ground and said in a sinister voice.
"Shen Leyi, who made you end up like this? If Xiao Zichen hadn't refused to help your father, what would your family be like now? Your mother is still lying in the hospital. Can you afford the huge medical expenses? ?”
The man caught Shen Leyi's fatal weakness. Yes, Shen Leyi is very short of money now.
After going to the UK, she listened to others and actually invested all her money in buying Bitcoin. Who knew that Bitcoin plummeted three months ago and Shen Leyi lost all her money.
A month ago, Zhou Meiqian was diagnosed with early-stage liver cancer, but she had to undergo a liver transplant before she could sign up. Otherwise, even if she received the best treatment in the country, she would only have one year to live.
Shen Leyi is very short of money now. A liver replacement surgery costs at least 800,000 yuan. This does not include the cost of post-care. Plus the cost of living abroad, it is a huge expense.
The man's words made her shaken heart firm again. Seeing the change in Shen Leyi's expression, the man let go of her, clapped his hands, and sat back on the sofa.
"Is this the Shen Leyi I know? They are unkind to you, so why do you have to worry so much? Don't worry, when I get the ransom, I won't take any of it. As for the way out of Luo City, I have already arranged it. Once the ransom arrives, you can leave."
"real?"
Shen Leyi didn't completely believe in the man in front of her. In the past few months of contact, she knew very well how dangerous the man in front of her was. Under his gentle appearance, there was an extremely dark heart hidden.
Facing Shen Leyi's doubts, the man smiled disdainfully, and suddenly approached Shen Leyi, grabbing her in front of him. The man suddenly bit Shen Leyi's lips, and then moved to her ear. Pan, said gloomily.
"Now, do you have another option besides trusting me? Shen Leyi, as long as you do as I say, I guarantee that you will be safe."
With that said, the man kissed Shen Leyi hard on the neck of Shen lewdly, then pushed Shen Leyi away with all his strength, and sat back on the chair again.
"By the way, maybe there are police officers monitoring their mobile phones in Haotianju now. Stop making phone calls and just send messages."
After saying that, the man walked into the nearby bedroom, took out a box from it, entered the password, and opened it. Shen Leyi was immediately frightened again.
"Bomb? Are you, are you crazy?"
Shen Leyi once again felt the fear of death. How could she meet such a madman?
But the man seemed not to notice Shen Leyi's expression and said something faintly.
"There are police and Xiao Zichen's people everywhere outside. It's inconvenient to bring a child. Can't we give the couple a gift before leaving? Don't worry, this is a time bomb. As long as I don't activate the detonation device, there is no danger in this. , it can also give us time to leave Luo City, why are you still afraid that I will kill this child?"
Suddenly, the man looked at Shen Leyi sinisterly. Shen Leyi's whole body shivered and she took a few steps back in fear. She did not dare to say a word.
At this time, the man burst out laughing, and then said obscenely.
"How could it be? This child is so cute, how could I bear to let her leave this beautiful world?"
As the man spoke, he tied the bomb to the child's body.
"Hurry and send a text message to Xiao Zichen. We will leave here soon."
After Shen Leyi heard what the man said, she didn't dare to hesitate. Now she was like a puppet on strings. She couldn't control everything by herself.
Over at Haotianju, Xiao Zichen has been calling Shen Leyi's mobile phone number no less than twenty times, but the other party has not been connected. At this moment, a text message pops up on the phone.
"Text message from Shen Leyi."
Xiao Zichen looked at the text message number and immediately spoke. When Mo Yurou and Captain Liu heard this, they all came over.
"Prepare 10 million, warehouse No. 1 in Daodong District, don't call the police, otherwise you will see your daughter's body."
"It's really Shen Leyi."
At this time, everyone has locked their target, except Shen Leyi, no one else.
Xiao Zichen called Liu Mingyu after reading the text message.
"Ask the company's finance department to immediately prepare 10 million in cash and send it to Haotianju immediately."
"Mr. Xiao, today is Saturday, banks are closed, and the company can only use more than 6 million in cash."
Xiao Zichen turned on the loudspeaker of his mobile phone. After Mo Yurou heard it, he said directly.
"Assistant Liu, please send all the cash over. I'll ask Jiang Yucheng to prepare the rest."
With that said, Mo Yurou called Jiang Yucheng's cell phone.
After Xiao Luoluo disappeared, the first thing Liu Mingyu and Jiang Yucheng did after receiving the news was to ask the company to pool all available cash together. Mo Yurou called Jiang Yucheng. As soon as they asked for money, Jiang Yucheng replied.
"Director Mo, the money has been prepared a long time ago. The company has more than 8 million in cash available now. Do you need me to send it over now?"
