Chapter 490: Can’t Just Sit and Wait
Gu Siqing deliberately said "thank you". She wanted to create a weak and innocent image for the criminals. This would make it easier for them to let down their guard.
The duck was brought in, still wrapped in oil paper. Gu Siqing looked at her blackened hands, pursed her lips, and then opened the oil paper, tore off a duck leg, and then began to eat it.
You can do other things only when you have strength.
The roast duck was too oily and I felt sick after a few bites. After trying to hold it back for a while, Gu Siqing looked at the eldest brother and said, "Can you give me some water? When you ask my dad for money later, ask for an extra hundred yuan. It will be used as the money for my meal."
The four criminals wore hoods, but their eyes revealed a complex mix of emotions. Was kidnapping ever this simple? This was their first time doing something like this, and they had no idea what the other hostages were like.
With a wave of his hand, Gangster No. 3 ran out and brought back a bowl with a chipped mouth. Gu Siqing glanced at the dirty bowl, suppressed her nausea, took it and drank from it.
Seeing that she had almost finished eating, the eldest brother said, "Tell me, why do you ask your dad for money?"
Gu Siqing wiped her mouth with her hand and said, "You can call him, or come to my house to find him."
The boss fell silent. He had never kidnapped someone before, and he didn't know which method was safer. He turned to look at No. 234, who also had confused eyes.
"I suggest you call," Gu Siqing suggested. "It's more discreet. If you go to look for my dad, you'll be easily exposed."
After saying this, she explained, "I also want you to get the money quickly and release me."
The gangsters exchanged glances, and finally the leader said, "Phone number."
Gu Siqing told Gu Jianguo's cell phone number and added, "This is my father's cell phone number. He can answer your call anytime."
"Second brother, come with me to make the call. Third brother, fourth brother, you two stay here and watch her." The eldest brother gave the order and stood up and left. The remaining two gangsters sat not far away and watched Gu Siqing. The reason why Gu Siqing asked them to make the call was because Gu Jianguo's mobile phone had caller ID, and the approximate location could be found based on the displayed phone number.
She lowered her head and thought about how to save herself next. She couldn't rely entirely on her family to save her. There were always unexpected things. If something went wrong, it was possible that these people would kill her.
At this moment, the masked man No. 4 came over, squatted in front of her, and reached out to touch her face. Gu Siqing was startled and quickly said, "We agreed that you would ask my dad for money and not hurt me. I have cooperated with you."
The man with the hood No. 4 paused for a moment, but he was still unwilling to give up. It was too beautiful and he couldn't help it!
"Old Four!" another masked man shouted, "After you get the money, what kind of girl can't you find?"
Masked Man No. 4 hesitated for a moment, then walked over to Masked Man No. 3 with his fists clenched. "Just like the stars in the movies, so damn good-looking."
"Okay, if you have money you can go find a celebrity, but don't touch this one." Masked Man No. 3 said, "If you touch her, you'll be in trouble in the future."
"How much trouble can it be? The bad thing has already been done, so this little bit doesn't matter." Man No. 4 with the mask didn't care.
Hooded Man No. 3 told him, "If you don't touch her, we'll take the money and go on our way. But if you do, her family will never let us go."
The hooded man No. 4 gritted his teeth and said, "I won't touch her."
Gu Siqing listened to their conversation, her heart in her throat. She had to find a way to escape. This time, the masked man, number 4, had been persuaded, but what about next time? She couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
The eldest and second oldest biked for about ten minutes before they found a public phone. They inserted a coin and dialed the number Gu Siqing had given them.
At this moment, Gu Jianguo was at home. The police had arrived and were questioning him. At this moment, his cell phone rang. Gu Jianguo was in a state of panic and impatiently pressed the answer button: "Hello."
"Your daughter is in my hands"
Hearing this, Gu Jianguo immediately sat up straight and listened attentively, not daring to breathe. The policeman saw this and asked him to press the hands-free button.
Gu Jianguo pressed the hands-free button and turned up the volume. His hands were shaking as he did this.
"Give me five hundred thousand and one hundred, and I will release your daughter."
Everyone in the room: Five hundred thousand is five hundred thousand, what is five hundred thousand and one hundred?
Then I explained over the phone, "I originally wanted 500,000 yuan, but your daughter wanted to eat, so she asked me to give you an extra 100 yuan for food."
Everyone in the room: ""
Gu Jianguo was stunned for a moment, not even paying attention to the police's gesture, and immediately said, "I'll give you another thousand, so that my daughter can eat her fill."
Gu Jianguo didn't want to catch the kidnappers anymore. If they could really get Xiao Si back for 500,000 yuan, he would give them 500,000 yuan. He could talk about catching the kidnappers later. He had to make sure Xiao Si was okay first.
"When will you pay?"
Gu Jianguo wanted to pay right away, but how could he possibly have that much cash? Even if all the cash from the other families were combined, he probably wouldn't have enough. He said, "I don't have any cash. I have to go to the bank tomorrow to withdraw some."
"Okay, I'll call you tomorrow," said the kidnapper.
"Well," Gu Jianguo knew he was about to hang up, and immediately said, "Can I have a word with my daughter?"
"No, it's too far away." The kidnapper said casually.
Gu Jianguo wanted to give him a cell phone so he could talk to his daughter. But that was impossible, and the kidnapper had already hung up. Gu Jianguo's heart was in turmoil.
Wang Yueju even started crying nearby. Her little fourth son had no idea what was happening to him. Gu Yimin and Old Lady Xia also had tears in their eyes.
"Check the number of the incoming call." The police said to Gu Jianguo.
Gu Jianguo found the caller's number and gave it to the police. The police immediately sent someone to check the location of the number and said, "The fact that your daughter was able to communicate with the kidnappers and eat shows that the situation is still relatively optimistic. Now that we have the phone number and the kidnappers' approximate location, it will be easier for us to arrest them."
Gu Jianguo nodded, then called Ye Chi and the others, telling them not to look for her outside.
Ye Chi and the others knew that Gu Siqing had been kidnapped, and they immediately returned to Gu's house with a heavy heart. When they arrived, the police had already found out where the phone number came from.
"A public telephone booth on Yongxin Road in the eastern suburbs," the police officer said, pointing to a location on the map. "When the kidnappers called just now, they said the hostages were far away, so they should be within this range."
The policeman made a circle and said, "I'll contact the police station in that area to see if there's a possible location where the kidnappers are hiding."
