At 6:30 the next morning, Jiang Chen put on his headphones and went out for a morning run.
When he was running around the park for the second time, Changjiang's voice came through his earphones: "The target people appear at eight o'clock. One is 1.78 meters tall, of medium build, wearing a gray shirt and black pants. The other is 1.8 meters tall, slightly fat, wearing black pants. They are 50 meters away from you and are getting closer."
Jiang Chen breathed steadily and whispered, "Take a screenshot and save it."
Changjiang can invade any monitoring system without being noticed, but the conditions required to run it are too strict and cannot be directly used on mobile phones. So Jiang Chen designed a small program last night that can connect to a computer and receive voice commands through a mobile phone and then execute them on the computer. If there is someone in Jiang Chen's room at this time, they can see that his computer screen is displaying dozens of surveillance cameras near the park, as well as a screenshot that quietly appears in the corner and is silently saved in a folder.
"Two hundred meters later, we turned the corner and saw a van with license plate number YO43XXX. There were three people in it. The surveillance camera was blurry and the driver's face could not be identified. There were two people next to the van. One was 1.72 meters tall, of medium build, wearing a black fisherman's hat, and the other was 1.75 meters tall, of medium build, wearing a black baseball cap."
Jiang Chen habitually teased, "You are quite fast at collecting information in this area."
"There is no limit on the types of clothing on the Internet. It is the most widely used information currently captured. At six o'clock, the two people following you have accelerated. They are now twenty-six meters, twenty meters, fifteen meters away from you..."
Jiang Chen's pace slowed down almost unnoticeably: "According to the plan."
As he spoke, he raised his hand to take off his headphones. When he heard the sound of wind behind him, he dodged to the side and started fighting with the two men.
The attackers didn't expect Jiang Chen to be able to dodge them. They lost the initiative, and it was difficult to subdue him when two against one.
The two men became more and more anxious as they fought. It was still early, and there were no pedestrians on the street because of road construction ahead. However, if they delayed for a long time, the possibility of being discovered would increase. One of them avoided Jiang Chen's attack and shouted, "Come and help!"
The two people outside the van at the corner heard the shouting, looked at each other, and ran over here. In the black SUV on the opposite side of the road, the man who was resting with his eyes closed also frowned and opened his eyes.
Shi Fengyue watched the three people fighting on the street indifferently through the car window. The boy who was attacked was obviously at ease, but for some reason he deliberately maintained a balance, until two more people came running from the street corner, the balance was broken. The boy who was attacked from both sides seemed to be no match for him, and he was hit by several punches and staggered to his knees.
The others subdued him immediately and pulled him up. When they turned around, Shi Fengyue could see the young man's face clearly and raised one of his eyebrows.
The boy was dragged away by several people and disappeared around the corner, and then the sound of a car starting was heard.
Inside the SUV, the man tapped the edge of the steering wheel with his bony index finger. He lowered his eyes, perhaps in a daze or in thought for a few seconds, then stepped on the accelerator and followed.
In the van, Jiang Chen had a black cloth covering his head and was squeezed in the middle of the last row, with people sandwiched between him and his partner. The van drove for more than two hours before it stopped. He was pushed out of the van and walked left and right for nearly half an hour before he was pushed into a room.
Jiang Chen stood still, listening quietly to the movements around him.
Outside the door, a voice came: "I didn't expect this kid to be so good at fighting."
"I think you two are too inexperienced. We caught him in just a few seconds. You should practice more often."
"You were able to catch him right away because we used up all his energy first. You took advantage of the situation and you have the nerve to brag to us."
"I--"
Someone interrupted them, cutting off the quarrel, and said, "Don't quarrel, keep an eye on him, don't delay things."
"What can it delay?" Someone laughed, "Are you afraid that a little kid who hasn't even grown all his hair will run away?"
"Yes, this place is like a maze. He can't get out even if he wants to run."
"No matter what, we must be vigilant. No matter how much money we make, it won't be ours until it reaches our bank account. If he runs away, our business will be in vain."
"Got it. We will definitely keep a close eye on him."
"I'll go outside to check the situation. Tell me immediately if there are any instructions."
It soon became quiet outside, and Jiang Chen basically knew the information he wanted to know from their conversation.
Yesterday he collected information on all the abandoned warehouses in Yan City and its nearby suburbs. According to their description, this should be a warehouse in the neighboring Xing City where abandoned containers are piled up. There are at least 800 containers here, which are placed in a disorderly manner and occupy a desolate wasteland. People who are not familiar with it are likely to get lost when walking around in it.
The fact that they chose this place and were so sure that they would not get lost proved that they were either familiar with the place or had planned the location in advance. Either way, it showed that this was not the first time they had done such a thing. However, they probably did not know who the mastermind behind the kidnapping was, let alone the purpose of kidnapping him, so they could only follow the mastermind's orders and wait for action.
Chick, chick—
The rusty, old iron door rubbed against the ground, making a harsh, heavy sound.
Jiang Chen sat there, listening to the footsteps getting closer. Suddenly, a dazzling light shone into his eyes. He squinted slightly and saw a man in a baseball cap.
The man in the baseball cap squatted in front of him, looked him up carefully, and then he sighed as if with regret, stood up without saying anything, turned around and went out, closing the door again.
Jiang Chen looked at the door that let in only a glimmer of light, and looked away after a few seconds. There was only one possibility that these people would take off the black cloth on his head and let him see their appearance, and that was that he had received an order not to let him leave alive.
At this time, Changjiang should have intercepted the telephone recording between He Qianjian and the kidnappers, but He Qianjian must have relied on something to dare to do it, and his reliance was naturally the system in his mind. Jiang Chen broke free from the hemp rope that bound his hands and tied it again to a knot that would come apart if he pulled it. He lowered his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something. He wondered who would be better, the system in Changjiang's mind or the system in He Qianjian's mind.
However, no matter who wins or loses, as long as Changjiang fights the system in He Qianjian's mind today, his goal will be achieved.
Time passed little by little, and the off-road vehicle, half stuck in the reeds and half on the road, remained motionless.
The man in the baseball cap who was out on guard watched from afar for a long time and finally felt relieved. This car should have been parked here a long time ago, but they didn't pay attention to it before. Why would such a good car be parked in this remote place? In fact, it is not strange, because the terrain nearby is peculiar, and many drag racers come here to play. Some rich young masters will park their cars on the side of the road when they have problems, and they will be towed away after ten days or half a month.
Shi Fengyue sat in the car and made a phone call to his friend with an expressionless face, asking him to quickly call someone to help him tow the car.
Li Nanfeng answered his call and rolled his eyes, "Master, didn't I tell you not to run around if you have no idea where to go? Why are you driving to the wilderness? Where are you going? If it's a little further away, I'm afraid I'll have to use a police dog to find you."
Shi Fengyue propped up his chin with one hand, looked out the window casually, and said lazily: "Stop talking nonsense, come quickly."
"It took me time to come here!" Li Nanfeng said, "What the hell is wrong with your brain? You worked a night shift and didn't even sleep to run around the suburbs of Xing City. If you hadn't called me, I would have thought you were kidnapped just by looking at the location."
Shi Fengyue: "I just saw someone being kidnapped and thought it was interesting, so I followed to watch the fun."
Li Nanfeng was instructing his men to set off immediately. He paused when he heard the words and said, "Is this true? Who is it? Someone you know? Or is he your enemy? Are you watching this kind of excitement?"
Shi Fengyue said nonchalantly, "The son of a patient."
Li Nanfeng paused and said hesitantly: "Should I bring a rescue dog? Or call the police?"
"No need." Shi Fengyue looked out the window, at the man in the baseball cap who was leaning against the window and looking at him. He said calmly, "I think he can handle it himself."
"Okay." Li Nanfeng's mouth twitched: "People who were kidnapped can solve the problem by themselves, but you drove your car into a ditch when you saw the excitement, and I had to send someone to rescue you. You are really independent, strong, and -"
"Really what?"
“It really touched my heart.”
After hanging up the phone, Shi Fengyue saw the man in the baseball cap walk from the front window to the driver's door, then bend down and knock on the window. He withdrew his gaze without any emotion, closed his eyes and rested, not disturbed by the movement outside.
The man in the baseball cap didn't know that the car in front of him had undergone a special modification. It not only had excellent sound insulation, but the front windshield was covered with a controllable military anti-peeping film. When closed, it was like normal glass, transparent inside and out. When opened, only the inside could see outside, but the outside could not see the inside. Even if he put his face very close, it was useless.
Not hearing any movement, the man in the baseball cap walked around the car again, then touched the roof. After feeling a layer of mud on it, he completely put aside his doubts and turned away.
When Shi Fengyue woke up, more than two hours had passed and it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon. He drank a sip of water, calculated the time Jiang Chen had been locked up here, frowned slightly, grabbed a handful of candy and put it in his pocket, and opened the car door.
Avoiding the man in a baseball cap who was smoking on the side, Shi Fengyue walked into the messy pile of containers where the route was unclear. He paused for a moment at a fork in the road, then raised his leg and walked in one direction.
After walking for about twenty minutes, I heard voices talking not far away, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer:
"I'm starving. I don't know if the food in the car is enough for us. There's also someone locked up inside. I guess the food there is only enough to fill our stomachs."
"Why do you care what the guy in there eats? He's going to die after today. What difference does it make whether he eats or not?"
"Hey, that's true. That kid is quite skilled. It will be easier for us to attack him if he is hungry."
…
After the two men walked away, Shi Fengyue came out. He walked a few steps inside and suddenly stopped.
——When those people came out, they wiped off the special marks they had drawn on the container.
