Half an hour later, Lin Qingzhi explained in a low voice: "We have arrived at our destination. A Chao and the team leader went to meet Sister Kang together."
Everyone was waiting anxiously.
The antique clock on the wall showed that it was past two o'clock in the middle of the night. It was so quiet outside the house and the night was as dark as ink. But at this moment, no one was in the mood to enjoy the night view. Some were pacing back and forth, and some were lying on the sofa in a daze.
Suddenly, Xue Ling's cell phone rang!
Everyone was shocked!
A call after two o'clock in the middle of the night is obviously from a bad person!
Almost the next moment, the police officers guarding the perimeter rushed in and explained that the call came from a street phone booth in a foreign city, and that it was probably a call from a gangster.
Everyone's eyes were nervously focused on their mobile phones, and their hearts were full of anxiety.
The police officers quickly made preparations and whispered: "Mrs. Xue, you answer first."
Cheng Tianyuan stepped forward and took Xue Ling's hand.
"Daughter-in-law, I'll pick you up."
"No." Xue Linggang narrowed his eyes for a while, but his energy was still good, "I can do it."
After saying that, she calmly pressed answer and clicked "raise".
The other party spoke fluent Chinese, but with an obvious foreign accent, and asked Xue Ling to transfer one billion U.S. dollars into two accounts within an hour.
Xue Ling looked at everyone and quickly agreed, saying that he would do it immediately and hoped that they would not embarrass Cheng Huanran and ensure that he came back safe and sound.
The other party sneered and said that as long as the money arrived, he would ask his subordinates to release the person. As for where to put him, someone would notify Xinyuan, so there is no need to worry.
Xue Ling's eyes flashed slightly, and she took the initiative to ask if the time could be extended because she did not have a foreign account and it would be very troublesome to transfer money.
All the money is already prepared. All I need to do is find a friend to borrow a foreign account to transfer the money. But it’s midnight now, so it will take time to find a friend. I hope the time can be extended to two hours.
The other party thought for a while and finally agreed to extend it for half an hour, threatening that if the money was not paid in time, he would never see his son again.
The tone was eerie and full of threats and intimidation, frightening Cheng Huanchong and Xue Xin until their faces turned pale.
Xue Ling and Lin Qingzhi looked at each other, nodded gently when they saw his calm eyes, and then answered the other party cheerfully, promising to transfer the money as soon as possible.
The other party hung up.
Xue Ling frowned and whispered: "It seems that they still have some people abroad, each responsible for a part. Some are responsible for robbing people and transferring guards, some are responsible for confusing the police's attention and tracking, and some are responsible for contacting and collecting people abroad.
Account."
"The gang is familiar with committing crimes." Lin Qingzhi explained quietly: "These guys have even arranged their own escape routes. Once the money is received, they will immediately escape the country through illegal channels. One billion US dollars is enough for them to spend a whole life.
After a while, I'll find someone else to start with."
Cheng Tianyuan became nervous and asked: "Is one and a half hours...enough?"
"It should be enough." Lin Qingzhi lowered his voice: "They will fight quickly and won't delay. Otherwise, the longer they stay, the easier it will be to alert the enemy."
Xue Ling looked at his son-in-law and asked: "How much money can you have in your foreign account? Is it enough?"
"It's about 300 million U.S. dollars now," Chen Xinzhi replied.
Lin Qingzhi whispered: "There's no need to rush. If we can't save Ranran by alerting the snake, we'll make another plan. If Xinzhi's side isn't enough, I can take it from my account then."
"Ah Qing!" Cheng Huanchong frowned and asked: "If - if we can't save him, will the elder brother be in danger? Will they become angry and do something to hurt the elder brother?"
Lin Qingzhi slowly shook his head: "The sword has been unsheathed, there is no need for any hesitation."
"Wait!" Xue Xin asked with red eyes and choked with sobs: "How about - stop taking action, send the money and let the elder brother come back safely. Let's not gamble... I would rather work hard to make money every day in the future. Anyway, life can always be passed.
Go down. All the money at home, our money will be used to redeem the eldest brother... I just hope nothing happens to him."
"Shh!" Chen Xinzhi held her hand and frowned: "You don't understand, people must be rescued in advance. No matter what, you have to give it a try."
Xue Xin plunged her head into his arms and cried.
"They didn't say how they wanted to give the money before, and there was no news about the eldest brother... We just wanted to give it a try. But now they are sure they want the money and they will let him go... Let's give them money. As long as the eldest brother can come back... whatever they want
It’s all OK! It’s all OK!”
Chen Xinzhi hugged her and frowned deeply in discomfort.
"Don't cry, don't cry, you have to calm down, calm down."
Cheng Huanchong shook his head again and again: "That's our dear brother! If we dare to fight like this, not only will the elder brother be in danger, but also Ah Qing's men and Ah Chao. Fighting with so many lives - too much
It’s dangerous! If big brother has an accident on the way, then—then—then it’s better to give them as much as they want!”
"A Chong." Lin Qingzhi knew that he and Xue Xin were about to collapse. He stretched out his long arms to hug him and hugged him hard. "You should also calm down. We have to fight in this situation."
"Why?!" Cheng Huanchong was so excited that he loudly said: "We will give them as much as they want. After the eldest brother comes back safely, let the police pursue it! It doesn't matter if he can be traced back, or he can't. The eldest brother's life has nothing to do with Ah.
They have saved seven or eight lives together! We have the money! Why did we choose to risk our lives!"
Lin Qingzhi hugged him hard and raised his voice slightly.
"Don't panic, don't be afraid, we really have to fight this time. It's not about money, and it's definitely not that uncles and aunts are reluctant to give up money. We are not short of money, and I won't feel bad even if there are 10 billion more. But we must fight.
And people must be rescued before their money is credited."
Cheng Huanchong was stunned. He looked at his parents who were silent and then at Xue Yang, who had been silent and had red eyes.
"Is it...that they will tear up the votes? Is that right?"
If it weren't for such worries, why would my parents, who had always acted calmly, choose such a radical way to gamble. The family could get the money, so why would my parents be reluctant to part with the money and ignore the danger of their eldest brother?
Lin Qingzhi gently stroked the back of his head and whispered: "This group of people had several large-scale kidnapping cases on their hands. Only one hostage was able to leave safely, and the others...cannot come back."
Cheng Huanchong completely understood.
After hearing this, Xue Xin was so frightened that she cried loudly and trembled all over.
Chen Xinzhi was so distressed that he quickly picked her up and went to find a family doctor.
Tears fell from the corners of Cheng Huanchong's eyes, and they fell into Lin Qingzhi's arms, and he stopped talking.
Lin Qingzhi patted his back and pulled him to sit on the sofa.
Xue Yang stepped forward to pull him, but Lin Qingzhi gently stopped and whispered: "Let him take it easy."
"...Hmm." Xue Yang sat back slumped.
Cheng Tianyuan and Xue Ling both had red eyes and said nothing, holding hands tightly together and leaning on each other.
Lin Qingzhi looked at the antique clock on the wall and said calmly: "Don't panic or get confused, we still have an hour. I believe they can rescue Ranran triumphantly."
