Chapter 64 Three Hundred Million
Banquet hall.
Xie Peizhou just went to the bathroom and Wen Ciren disappeared.
As soon as he came out, a group of people rushed up to greet him, "Mr. Xie, long time no see. I'm Li Fugui from Taylor Group. We met before at the XX bidding meeting..."
"Hello, Mr. Xie, I'm Shen Jiaping from Lehu Entertainment."
…
Xie Peizhou's calm face was slightly cold. He finally saw Zhang Kang, who was discussing a project with Wen Ci before leaving, and asked, "Boss Zhang, have you seen Wen Ci?"
Mr. Zhang: "Oh, we were just chatting when Miss Wen received a call. It's strange, why hasn't she come back yet?"
Xie Peizhou frowned, avoided the crowd that was swarming around to chat, and found a secluded place to call Wen Ci.
No matter how many times I called, Wen Ci's phone was always busy.
The man frowned even more and opened WeChat to send her a message: [Where have you been? Why haven’t you come to see me?]
In the taxi, Wen Ci sat in the back seat with her back hunched and her whole body tense. She kept calling the number back with her cell phone, but it always showed that no one answered.
I just called the kindergarten teacher, and she replied, "Niannian's mom, didn't you personally send a message to ask for leave for Niannian? Did something happen to Niannian?"
Wen Ci didn't dare to answer casually, worried that her daughter was really in the hands of the kidnappers.
She doesn't want anything as long as her daughter is safe.
A message from Xie Peizhou popped up on the top of the screen. The moment Wen Ci saw Xie Peizhou's profile picture, her eyes suddenly turned red and her heart ached.
She typed back: [I feel a little unwell. I’m going home first.]
Xie Peizhou: [What's wrong? Where are you now? I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup.]
Wen Ci shed tears and set his messages to do not disturb.
The kidnapper's call never got through.
After Wen Ci got home, she rushed into the bedroom and took out the passbook from the closet. Her daughter's surgery a year ago had used up all her savings. Now the total amount in her passbook was less than three million.
“Sizzle—”
The phone vibrated suddenly.
Wen Ci's back shuddered, and the kidnapper's number appeared on the screen.
"Hey? Where's my daughter? Why are you arresting my daughter? Let her go!"
The voice on the other end of the line still had a spooky, ghostly tone processed by a voice changer, which was creepy to hear. "Of course I captured your daughter for money. Three hundred million. I'll give you three days. Today is the 13th. By four o'clock in the afternoon of the 16th, if I don't have three hundred million in my account, you can just wait to collect your daughter's body, hahahaha..."
Wen Ci held the phone stiffly. "I don't have that much money. I only have three million. If you let my daughter go, I will transfer the money to you immediately. Don't hurt her at all!"
"Damn it, are you sending away beggars?!"
"Don't think I don't know. Wen Niannian inherited 25% of Xie Kun's estate. Xie Kun's estate is worth at least hundreds of millions. I only want 300 million, and you're so reluctant to give it to me? It seems you care more about the money than your daughter. If that's the case, I'll kill her first!"
"don't want!"
Wen Ci's heart suddenly tightened, tears falling uncontrollably. She tried to remain calm in the despair, "You can ask for money, but you have to let me talk to my daughter first. I need to make sure she's safe."
"Want to talk to your daughter? Sure, first transfer the three million you have to the account I gave you. If it arrives within a minute, I'll let you talk to your precious daughter."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Ci heard the sound of a text message "ding dong". An overseas number sent her a link.
Click on it and you will see a remittance account from an overseas account.
Wen Ci's face was pale. To her, money was nothing as long as her daughter was safe.
She put all her savings into it.
"Mommy..."
The daughter's terrified cry came immediately from the phone, "Mommy, I'm so scared, please come and rescue me and take me home, wuwuwu..."
"Nian Nian!"
Wen Ci cried out in agony, but the voice on the other end of the line changed to a strange, cold one. "I've already heard your precious daughter's voice. Three days, three hundred million, not a cent less, and your daughter will be safe and sound. But if you're even a penny short, or if you call the police and let a third person know about the kidnapping, I guarantee that your lovely daughter will be a cold corpse!"
The call ended abruptly.
Wen Ci called again, but the number became an empty number with no one answering.
“Ding Dong~”
The doorbell rang.
"Nian Nian!"
Wen Ci looked towards the door, hope flashing in her eyes, what if her daughter came back safely!
The door opened and Xie Peizhou stood tall at the door.
"Wen Ci, what's wrong with you?"
The man frowned when he saw her pale and strange look. He reached out to touch her forehead, but felt a cold sweat.
"You're sweating all over? What happened? Are you feeling unwell? Come with me to the hospital for a checkup right now..."
Xie Peizhou's black eyes were full of concern, and he grabbed Wen Ci's wrist and walked out.
Wen Ci shook it off and looked at his calm and cold eyebrows, her eyes becoming more and more sore.
Severe chest pain.
The whole person felt like a huge rock weighing a thousand pounds was pressing on him, and his limbs were sore and numb.
"Xie Peizhou..."
Wen Ci spoke with a bitter voice.
She looked into Xie Peizhou's eyes and couldn't help but want to tell him that his daughter had been kidnapped by kidnappers who demanded 300 million yuan in ransom within three days.
She opened her mouth, but her throat was so sore that she couldn't make a sound.
Wen Ci closed her eyes, pushed the man's body with both hands, and pushed him out of the door. "I'm fine, you go, I want to be alone for a while!"
"Bang" the security door slammed shut.
Inside the room, Wen Ci fell to the ground weakly, tears dripping onto her daughter's favorite Snow White shoe insole at the door.
Her thin shoulders trembled in pain.
She was afraid that if she told Xie Peizhou, he would call the police.
Three hundred million is not a small amount of money. In Xie Peizhou's eyes, Nian Nian is just a daughter whom he hates but has to take care of as a burden.
If he doesn't like his daughter, how could he spend 300 million to start a business that is worthless?
But her daughter is her life. If it were someone else, she would choose to call the police, but since the incident happened to her, she just hopes that her daughter is safe.
-
Outside the door, Xie Peizhou looked at the tightly closed security door with a frown on his face.
The hands hanging at his sides were curled and clenched.
"Bang, bang, bang" He knocked on the door with a low voice, "Wen Ci, open the door, what happened, why didn't you tell me?"
"Wen Ci, open the door and speak clearly!"
"Wen Ci..."
The man's tone grew increasingly cold, his concern and worry suppressed by the thought that "Wen Ci was hiding something from him."
Why did she hide it from him? In her heart, was he such a strange outsider now?
Xie Peizhou said coldly, "Wen Ci, open the door!"
As soon as the words fell, the woman's roar of collapse came through the security door, "Go away, go away! Don't worry about my business!"
…
Fifteen minutes later.
There was a loud noise from the security door, and it was pried open with a "click".
