At 8:30 p.m., Lin Xin and his group headed to Houping Mountain.

"What are you going to do?" Tang Wu asked, his eyes wide, when he saw Liu Xiaoyuan was also going to follow.

Liu Xiaoyuan glared at Tang Wu and said, "What I do is none of your business."

Tang Wu snorted and said to Lin Xin, "Lin Xin, if this guy wants to go, my brother and I won't go. You decide what to do!"

Lin Xin had long tolerated the arrogance and domineering behavior of the Tang brothers, but now that his father had been kidnapped, he finally snapped.

"Who exactly is the employer? I hired you here to listen to me and protect my safety, not to threaten me!"

Seeing Lin Xin get angry, Tang Wu wanted to say something back, but Tang Wen stopped him.

"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry, that's just my brother's temper!" Tang Wen quickly said.

After all, Lin Xin was the employer, having paid the two brothers to provide protection. Therefore, it was best not to escalate the situation too much, lest it be difficult to report back later.

Although Tang Wu was unwilling, since his brother had said so, he had no choice but to swallow his anger and glare fiercely at Liu Xiaoyuan.

As for the police officers, Lin Xin naturally disagreed with them going along. Since the other side was able to arrest Lin Dayou, they must have the means to know whether the police had followed them.

Although it was risky not to bring the police, Lin Xin had no choice but to do so for his father's safety.

Before Fang Jianyang could say anything more, Tang Wu couldn't help but speak up again: "Hmph! What are you cops going to do? What can you do besides being a hindrance? When the time comes, as long as we mention the Tang family's name, the other side will obediently surrender!"

Seeing Tang Wu's arrogance, Fang Jianyang wanted to reprimand him, but before he could speak, Lin Xin said, "Secretary Fang, no need, just wait here for us to come back!"

Seeing that Lin Xin had made up his mind, Fang Jianyang didn't say anything more.

Houping Mountain is a large mountain in the suburbs of the county, with rolling hills that span several surrounding counties.

The other party only said they were at the foot of Houping Mountain, which is a completely ridiculous location. Houping Mountain is so big, who knows exactly where they are at the foot of the mountain?

While in the car, Tang Wu said with a sneer, "Kid, when it's time to make your move, you'd better find a place to hide. Make sure you keep your head completely hidden and don't look up. I don't want to drag us down because of you, you burden."

Liu Xiaoyuan ignored Tang Wu and didn't even glance at him, which angered Tang Wu, who glared at Liu Xiaoyuan with furious eyes.

Halfway there, Lin Xin received a text message on his phone: "Mr. Lin, it seems you've been obedient enough not to bring the police."

After reading the message, Lin Xin immediately dialed the other party's number. At first, the other party did not answer, but Lin Xin did not give up and continued to dial.

This time, the other party answered Lin Xin's call.

"Mr. Lin, what are your instructions?" the person on the other end of the phone asked.

Lin Xin asked, "What did you do to my dad?"

The other party said, "Mr. Lin, don't worry, your father is perfectly fine. As long as you don't try anything funny, we will absolutely guarantee your father's safety."

"I want to hear my dad's voice!" Lin Xin said.

The other party laughed and said, "Mr. Lin, it seems you don't trust us, which puts us in a difficult position. If you don't trust us, then we'll have no choice but to kill the hostage!"

"No!" Lin Xin shouted hurriedly, "Where are you? Tell me your address!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, we'll tell you. As long as you do as we say, we guarantee you'll be able to see your father."

After the other party finished speaking, they hung up the phone without waiting for Lin Xin to say anything.

"Uncle Lin, don't worry, they won't make things difficult for Grandpa Lin..." Liu Xiaoyuan saw Lin Xin's worried face and didn't know what to say, so he could only offer a few words of comfort.

Soon, Lin Xin received a map drawn with a pen on his phone.

Following the route drawn on the map, we finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.

However, it was already past 9:10 PM.

Once they reached the foot of the mountain, Lin Xin immediately made a phone call. After the call connected, Lin Xin said, "We've arrived at the foot of the mountain!"

The other party said, "Mr. Lin, you are sixteen minutes late. Do you know that? Your unpunctual behavior makes us very dissatisfied."

"Where is my dad? Now that I'm here, you shouldn't hide anymore!" Lin Xin said.

"Okay!" the other person said and hung up the phone.

Then, a dark figure emerged from the mountain, followed by six men in black.

"Where's my dad?" Although the light was dim, Lin Xin still noticed that his father was not among the men in black in front of him.

The other party smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, you'll be meeting your father soon!"

After the leader of the men in black finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the six men in black behind him were about to make their move.

Just then, Tang Wu shouted, "We are from the Tang family of the capital!"

Tang Wen and Tang Wu thought that after they introduced their family, the other party would be so frightened by the name of the Tang family that they would obediently hand over Lin Dayou.

"If you know what's good for you, hand over Lin Xin's father. Otherwise, you're going against the Tang family!" Tang Wu said arrogantly, as if his Tang family were ancient emperors who would have to call everyone "Long live the Emperor."
