Pei Xinghe explained the situation. When Gu Huaian learned that Gu Qingmeng had been kidnapped, he wanted to smash Pei Xinghe's head.
Everyone knows what Huang Biao has done, but he is not willing to compromise and share the profits. Instead of killing him, some people are inhumane for the sake of money.
Now that they have come and kidnapped people, it's too late to say anything.
"Send someone out to ask around the house if anyone has seen a stranger. At least three to five people, bring Black Panther up the mountain."
Gu Huaian suspected that the person had gone into the mountains. Gaoling County is surrounded by mountains, and taking people up the mountains would be the least likely to be found. Gaoling County is not big, and people hiding in the county would be very conspicuous.
"Grandpa, Black Panther and Wangwang are both missing." Pei Xinghe also wanted to find Black Panther.
With Black Panther around, it will definitely be able to find a wife the fastest!
"They're gone. Why don't you go find them? What are you doing standing here?"
Gu Huaian roared angrily.
Pei Xinghe hurriedly rode his bicycle to the factory. He wanted to find Huang Biao. Money and other things were no big deal. He could give it to Huang Biao if he wanted it.
But...it seems that all the money in the house was collected by my daughter-in-law, so he probably...can't find it.
Pei Xinghe almost rode his bicycle to Mars. When he rode to the pharmaceutical factory, he saw Wangwang sitting at the gate.
Pei Xinghe quickly got out of the car: "Wangwang, are you here to see me? Where is your mother? Wait here for me, I'll be right out."
"Xiao Pei, this is your dog! It's been waiting at the door since it arrived. It turns out it's looking for you! This dog is so nice." The security guard, Uncle Li, looked at the dog with envy. Dogs that understand what people say are popular.
"Uncle Li, please help me look after it for a while."
Pei Xinghe asked Wangwang to open his mouth. The dog bit his trouser leg when it saw him. He knew that Wangwang wanted to take him to find a wife, but he had to calm Huang Biao down first and find a few more people to keep an eye on him.
Arriving at Huang Biao's office, Pei Xinghe suppressed his urge to kill and said, "Where is my wife? She's pregnant. If anything happens to her, I'll make sure you're buried with her! You know I can do it."
"Brother Pei, we have no ill intentions. Don't worry, I will take good care of your sister-in-law. We are only after money. I want the food channel in your hands and 20,000 yuan, otherwise..." Huang Biao smiled and took a sip of tea, waiting for Pei Xinghe to think it over and give him an answer, while also waiting for bargaining.
"Food is fine. You know food is a big deal. I don't know when I'll get it. They always contact me from above. I don't have that much money. I need time to raise it. I can write an IOU and ask you to have my wife released."
Pei Xinghe just wanted Gu Qingmeng to appear in front of him as soon as possible. He could pay any price. His heart was always hanging as long as the person was not in front of him.
Huang Biao saw Pei Xinghe agreed to give him 20,000 yuan so readily! He suddenly felt that the amount was too little: "I changed my mind! I want 40,000 yuan."
Pei Xinghe: ...I was careless. I just wanted to see my wife as soon as possible. I didn’t expect Huang Biao to ask for such a high price.
He quickly calmed himself down. "Who has 40,000 yuan these days? Not even 44,000."
"Hahaha! I believe you can get 40,000 yuan! How can you not have it if you don't have a factory?"
When Pei Xinghe agreed to give him 20,000 yuan, Huang Biao was sure that he had also embezzled money from the factory! Otherwise, how could he have readily given out 20,000 yuan?
Huang Biao thought that Pei Xinghe was the same person as him, the kind of person who embezzled money and defaulted on payments for goods.
"Brother Pei, I believe in you! From now on, 40,000 yuan will be just a small amount of money to you."
Pei Xinghe knew Huang Biao wouldn't give in. Finally, he said, "I need time," and left the factory.
At this moment, Pei Xinghe deeply regretted not taking action against Huang Biao earlier, but it was too late to regret now.
He brought Wangwang to meet up with his brothers in the black market. Now he could only try to see if the dogs they raised could find their owners?
Grandpa said that the person was most likely in the mountains, so he took people to search the mountains. Fortunately, Wangwang's search direction was also in the mountains.
There was a lot of footsteps at the foot of the mountain, but after walking for a while, the footsteps became noticeably less frequent.
"Brother Hei, look at these footprints. They are very deep. Could they be carrying something?"
People in the black market call Pei Xinghe "Brother Hei". Many of these people are from villages around Gaoling County, and they are quite familiar with these mountains.
"Do any of our people have any from the county? Go ask if there are any caves or anything in this mountain."
Pei Xinghe also noticed the abnormality in the footsteps. They were all mountain people, and one could tell a person's approximate weight by looking at the footprints. Among this set of footprints, one footprint was particularly deep.
This guy must weigh well over 200 kilograms! Not many people weigh 200 kilograms these days.
"Brother Hei, this is Xiaoye, who just joined us. His surname is Bai and his ancestors were landlords. He has been hanging around here since he was a child. He has traveled all over the surrounding mountains and knows everything about them. Brother Hei, you can trust him."
The person who was speaking was Fang Leng. Pei Xinghe had known him for a long time and they were very familiar with each other.
But after hearing his introduction, Pei Xinghe knew that Fang Leng and Bai Ye must know each other! And they were very familiar with each other, otherwise they would not introduce them to him. However, he was not in the mood to recruit a younger brother at this time.
"You are Bai Ye. Is there any cave on this mountain? The kind that can accommodate three or five people?" Pei Xinghe asked seriously.
"Hello, Brother Hei, I'm Bai Ye. There are several caves on the mountain, but not many can accommodate three or five people. There is one about ten minutes' walk from us, and the others are quite far away, more than an hour's journey. I'm afraid it will be dark by the time we get there."
Bai Ye saw Pei Xinghe's anxiety, so he stopped wasting time and walked in front to lead the way.
Pei Xinghe followed closely behind, holding Wangwang's hand. The group arrived at the nearest cave. There were a few footprints at the entrance of the cave. Wangwang smelled them and continued walking forward.
Pei Xinghe knew that there was no one in the cave, but to be on the safe side he still sent someone in to take a look.
"Brother Hei, there's no one inside, but there are signs of someone having been there, and there's burnt firewood inside."
Pei Xinghe nodded and continued to set off with his men. They could now feel the temperature dropping. His wife was most afraid of the cold, so he had to find her quickly.
On the other side, Gu Qingmeng slowly woke up and when she opened her eyes, she saw four people looking at her.
She was so scared that she sat up and found that her hands and feet were tied. She was kidnapped.
Gu Qingmeng's mouth twitched. Did these people think too highly of her? She was pregnant, and there were four grown men in front of her. Why did they trap her so tightly?
Looking around, she found herself in a cave.
"Oh, you woke up pretty early, little girl! The knockout drug we used was handed down from our ancestors. A normal person wouldn't wake up in more than ten hours, but you woke up in six."
"Brother, this proves that the little girl is in good health. She is a treasure now, and nothing can happen to her. If she is in good health, we can save ourselves the trouble."
"Brother Biao told us to take good care of her. Only if she is okay can we receive the money from her husband."
"Okay, stop talking."
Gu Qingmeng: ...
These kidnappers didn't seem to be very smart. They revealed their mastermind and purpose in just a few words.
