Chapter 93: Kidnappers Kill

When Lin Hesheng walked in quickly, he bumped into a chair without noticing it.

Ming Zhou was startled and quickly went forward to help him sit down: "He Sheng, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Hesheng held his head in pain, his voice extremely hoarse, "My niece Mianmian has been kidnapped."

The glass in Mingzhou's hand fell to the ground and shattered.

"What……"

Mianmian is Lin Hesheng's niece. She is seven years old and is in the second grade of elementary school.

Lin Hesheng's parents died early, and he was raised by his brother who was ten years older than him. As the eldest brother is like a father, his brother is the most important relative to Lin Hesheng in the world.

In the entertainment industry with no background, Lin Hesheng struggled hard and relied entirely on his brother and sister-in-law to support him.

After Lin Hesheng's work won the first box office championship, the hard work finally paid off and the whole family went on vacation to the island to celebrate.

However, on the third day after arriving on the island, Lin Hesheng's brother and sister-in-law were swept away by an offshore current and were no longer breathing when they were rescued.

Lin Hesheng believed that it was the celebration banquet he held for his family trip that killed his brother and sister-in-law. He blamed himself, felt guilty, and was in great pain.

He numbed himself with a lot of work and it took him a long time to get over it. Mianmian, the daughter left behind by his brother and sister-in-law, also became the most important person to Lin Hesheng in the world.

"They said they would kill me if I called the police, and they demanded a 90 million yuan ransom."

Lin Hesheng repeated mechanically, his eyes empty, "They sent a video of Mianmian being tied up... She was still wearing the little fish hairpin I helped her put on this morning..."

"Her arms, which were so small and thin, were already red from being squeezed."

Ming Zhou, as Lin Hesheng's good brother, had long considered Mian Mian his own niece. Upon hearing the tragic news, he felt as if a piece of his heart had been ripped out. He was furious and helpless: "What are bodyguards for?"

Lin Hesheng said in a painful tone: "After school this afternoon, Mianmian went to sketch with the after-school painting class. The bodyguard said that the child went into the bathroom and disappeared..."

Xia Lili and Xia Xubai were in the private room at this time. They felt the pain of the two people opposite them and were in a very depressed mood. They did not expect that such a thing would happen.

Xia Xubai held Xia Lili's arm tightly, as if asking his sister if there was any solution.

Xia Lili's identity is kept secret. Even Xia Xubai and Xia's father and mother only know that Xia Lili works at the police station, but they don't know what she does specifically.

The two people opposite who were immersed in sorrow did not know that Xia Lili was a policeman.

Xia Lili remembered that she had not yet made eye contact with Lin Hesheng since he entered the room, so she called out, "Mr. Lin."

Lin Hesheng was called by Xia Lili and raised his head to look at Xia Lili.

Their eyes met in the air, and in an instant, Xia Lili's vision immediately became blurred.

Xia Lili's heart tightened. It was not enough that Lin Hesheng's niece was in danger, but Lin Hesheng would also suffer misfortune later?

A series of hallucinations flooded into Xia Lili's mind like a tide.

The first scene made Xia Lili dizzy.

flash.

Countless dazzling flashes of light.

Lin Hesheng was surrounded by reporters and paparazzi in the parking lot, the microphone almost poking his face. "Mr. Lin, is the rumor that your niece was kidnapped true?"

"How much ransom did the kidnappers demand?"

"Are you going to call the police?"

These paparazzi asked many stupid questions and kept pestering Lin Hesheng. There were too many of them, so Lin Hesheng's bodyguards had to form a circle to protect Lin Hesheng.

Lin Hesheng could hardly move. He looked at his watch anxiously. It was obvious that these paparazzi had wasted his time.

The second act is the highway.

Lin Hesheng was driving alone, with several suspicious vehicles following him in the rearview mirror. A paparazzi even brazenly rolled down his window to film...

Judging from the scene in the picture, Lin Hesheng should choose to take the ransom with him to stabilize the kidnappers first. He can earn money again if he loses it, but if his niece loses her life, he will lose everything.

Xia Lili couldn't help but clench her fists in anger, feeling that the paparazzi in the picture were really just bastards. This was a matter of life and death!

The next scene is an abandoned chemical plant.

Lin Hesheng walked towards the designated location carrying a suitcase filled with money, while one of the kidnappers was monitoring through a telescope from the second floor of a distant building.

Further away, the reflection of the paparazzi's lens glints in the sunlight...

Then, the heart-wrenching thing in the hallucination happened!

Lin Hesheng walked into the main building of the abandoned chemical plant carrying a silver suitcase.

His footsteps echoed in the empty factory.

"Put the box at the red mark and step back ten steps."

An electronically processed voice came from the loudspeaker in the corner of the factory.

Lin Hesheng did as he was told.

Xia Lili saw a crooked "X" painted on the ground with red spray paint from a third-person perspective.

Just as he retreated, something strange happened—

"Kidnapper, I captured the kidnapper appearing!" A sharp male voice suddenly rang out.

In an instant, several dazzling flashes of light lit up from the side door of the factory.

Three paparazzi had somehow bypassed the police cordon and were frantically filming with telephoto lenses. One of them was even live-streaming the scene on his phone.

"Get out!" Lin Hesheng roared, his face turning pale in an instant.

But it was too late.

The kidnapper's voice on the loudspeaker became sharp and angry: "You brought reporters? How dare you play tricks on us?"

"No! I don't know them!"

Lin Hesheng stretched out his hand towards the source of the sound, but was responded by a deafening explosion.

The paparazzi finally realized the seriousness of the situation and fled screaming, but the male anchor was still holding up his phone: "Frontline of the kidnapping of the movie star's daughter! Look, everyone!"

The male anchor's eyes turned red with excitement when he saw the crazy increase in the number of people online in the live broadcast room:

"Lin Hesheng is really paying the ransom! The kidnappers even made explosives! Double-click 666! Give me a tip!"

"It is said that this girl is not the niece of the movie emperor, but the illegitimate daughter of Lin Hesheng and a wealthy woman!"

In an abandoned factory.

The kidnappers were enraged by the situation.

"Transaction canceled." The voice over the loudspeaker was icy cold. "You will receive a 'gift' from your niece."

"No! Please!"

Lin Hesheng knelt on the ground, "I can give you double the money! Triple it!"

Suddenly, there was a burst of hurried footsteps on the second floor of the factory.

Xia Lili "saw" a man wearing a black mask dragging the struggling Mianmian to the broken railing.

The tape on the little girl's mouth had been torn off, and she cried out, "Uncle, save me!"

"Mianmian!" Lin Hesheng shouted heartbreakingly.

The masked man grabbed the back of Mianmian's collar with his left hand and held up a cell phone with his right hand: "Look carefully, you asked for this."

He let go of his hand.

Mianmian was only seven years old and weighed less than 60 pounds. The sound she made when she fell to the ground was very light, but it dealt a fatal blow to Lin Hesheng.

A little life was lost just like that, and Lin Hesheng, who witnessed everything, went crazy.

The last scene of Xia Lili's hallucination is the hospital rooftop.

Lin Hesheng stood on the edge, with the city lights flickering under his feet.

He held a photo in his hand - a photo of him, his brother, sister-in-law, and Mianmian's family of four at the beach that year.

The wind blew up the corner of Lin Hesheng's clothes, and he took a step forward...
