Chapter 701: Money and People

Ji Chiqian opened the email, which contained an old-fashioned push-button cell phone.

"This was probably left by the kidnappers."

At this time, the phone rang.

Ji Chiqian answered the phone: "Hello, this is Ji Chiqian."

"You are Miss Lu's boyfriend, right? She is in our hands. Use the money you have frozen to redeem her."

"Okay, where do we trade?"

"It's impossible to trade this much money on the spot. Transfer the money to this account. Once we receive the money, we will naturally release Lu Ning."

Ji Chiqian held up his phone and said, "How do I know if you are lying? When the money arrives, you run away. After all, you are planning to flee the country now, right?"

"We want to escape, but your people have already found us. After all, this is your territory, so we have to be careful to avoid being caught by you."

They really underestimated the Ji family's capabilities. In just one night, people were deployed in various places in Yunjing, and some people were secretly investigating.

As foreigners, they were too conspicuous and would definitely be found if they stayed in the country.

By then they won't be able to escape no matter what.

Fortunately, they listened to the boss and left in time, otherwise they would have been surrounded by Ji Chiqian's men.

Ji Chiqian said, "But I can't transfer the money the way you do. You must tell me where you are and I will transfer the money on the spot."

"How can you negotiate with us? We have your girlfriend."

Ji Chiqian's face turned pale: "But if you don't get the money back, you won't survive. I heard that your boss is a fraud in the park. You might as well follow me instead of following him back."

The person on the other end of the phone was stunned: "Why, why do you say that?"

The kidnapper glanced at Lu Ning next to him and thought that the two of them were indeed boyfriend and girlfriend.

No matter how you say it, it's exactly the same.

Lu Ning looked at the kidnapper: "Have you thought it through? Will you follow us or the scammers in the park? You could be discarded as pawns at any time."

The kidnapper really hesitated: "Don't talk nonsense, our boss will not do this. The boss said that as long as we can get the money back in time, he will not punish us."

Ji Chiqian heard Lu Ning's voice on the phone.

Doesn't sound like a big deal.

At this time, Lu Ning finally spoke: "It's up to you guys. It's too hot, buy me some iced Coke, otherwise I'll die of the heat."

The kidnapper hung up the phone immediately.

Ji Chiqian looked at his phone and called back, but it showed that the phone was turned off.

He turned around and looked at Gu Zifeng: "Have you traced the call address?"

"We found them. They're near here, but the area is too large. They couldn't have gotten so far in such a short time."

Ji Chiqian thought about what Lu Ning had said just now, too hot?

He glanced out the window, but it was spring, so it wasn't very hot.

Unless Lu Ning and the others are in some very hot place.

Ji Chiqian told Gu Zifeng this.

"But it's probably not easy to go to a hot place in such a short time. So we can only search within an hour, and the range is very small."

Ji Chiqian tightly grasped the cigarette butt, not daring to imagine what happened after Lu Ning woke up.

At this time, Jimo stood up and said, "I think I know a place."

Ji Chiqian looked over and asked, "What place do you know?"

"It's like this over on Factory Road. Because it's a development zone with incomplete facilities, it's quite chaotic. The temperature there feels quite high. I felt like I was going to die of the heat when I went there."

When Jimo said this, he almost collapsed.

He is the president of a group, but he still has to go to the factory to inspect the work in person. He is as excited as a dog.

This was simply the nightmare of his life.

Gu Zifeng suddenly realized: "Yes, I remember this place. It's a factory area, and some factories don't meet emission standards, so the temperature there is relatively high."

Ji Chiqian looked over and said, "There's an even more important point. If we follow the mountains over there, we'll reach the border very quickly."

Gu Zifeng frowned, "But that mountain is not so easy to climb. After all, many tourists who go hiking, including experienced hikers, have had quite a few accidents."

"I heard there's something wrong with the mountain's magnetic field, so there are problems with navigation and compasses."

Ji Chiqian breathed a sigh of relief: "Go over immediately and send people to block the surrounding area and strictly check all suspicious vehicles."

It is basically certain that the group wants to leave the country directly through the mountains.

As long as you determine the direction, it will be easy to find.

——

At this moment, Lu Ning was trapped in a van that broke down on the road.

Lu Ning drank iced cola and looked at the kidnappers pushing the cart outside, feeling a little indescribable.

She looked at the driver and said, "Didn't you prepare well before coming to China? But you live in a rented house and drive such an old, rickety car. Your organizational skills are really not that good."

"All of this was arranged by that bitch. It turns out that bitch had planned it all along. She wanted to take most of the money and didn't want us to find her."

"If you put it that way, then I understand. Ye Ying arranged this on purpose to prevent you from returning to China and causing trouble for her."

Lu Ning thought about it and found it quite interesting.

Doesn't this give her a chance now?

The driver was a little annoyed: "Shut up!"

Lu Ning looked at the kidnappers pushing the bike outside the window and said, "Why don't you take a break? It's faster to walk than to push the bike like this. Or why don't we all scan for a shared bike, one for each of us."

The driver kidnapper said: "We can't scan the code. We can't use domestic software."

"You can't use it, but mine works. It's a pity my phone fell in the water, but you can log in to my account."

"Stop talking. Do you think I don't know what you're up to? Behave yourself. If we didn't want to expose your identity, we would have left long ago."

Because I was with Lu Ning, I had to be very careful.

After all, Ji Chiqian's people are looking for Lu Ning everywhere, and her identity will be exposed if she is not careful.

Lu Ning stayed in the car with peace of mind, enjoying an ice-cold Coke.

Based on the information she revealed during the call, it was only a matter of time before Ji Chiqian found her.

Timo often comes to the factory here and always complains that it is very hot here, just like summer.

I hope Timo can be smart enough to point out this place.

Ji Chiqian's men rushed to the factory road as soon as possible, blocked all exits of the mountain, and deployed personnel at the border, waiting for Lu Ning and the kidnappers to show up.

Ji Chiqian looked at his men: "Did you find the person?"

"We have deployed personnel everywhere, but we haven't seen the young lady yet. Perhaps they have already quietly entered the mountains."

Gu Zifeng sighed: "If we go into the mountains, it will be a bit troublesome. No matter how hard we try, we are still a step too late."

Ji Chiqian stared at the mountain and said, "Seal the mountain and search."

Must find her.

An hour later, the van stopped at the parking lot of the scenic area outside the mountains.

But I was told that the mountain was closed.
