Chapter 109: Fuck the unfinished building, are you the kidnapper or am I the kidnapper? ...
At four o'clock in the morning, the Ideal City construction site was completely silent. The unfinished buildings looked like the skeletons of giant beasts. Lin Su covered her mouth and nose with a flashlight and carefully moved through the building covered with warning signs.
The moon was as bright as day, the construction elevator was out of service, and the uneven concrete road surface made her feet ache. Lin Su stopped and climbed for twenty minutes before she could barely climb to the 25th floor. Before she could complain, a series of footsteps came into her ears. Before she could react, a hand covered with thin calluses covered her mouth from behind.
"Don't scream, it's me." The man's low voice was familiar with the hoarseness.
Lin Su immediately turned around and looked at him in the moonlight. It was indeed Guo Tianlin who had disappeared for a long time. He was standing in the mottled shadow cast by the half concrete wall. He was wearing a baseball cap and had an untidy beard. He no longer looked like the decent engineer he had before.
"You're so bold! No matter how angry you are, you shouldn't have hit someone. Now that someone's dead, you're still hiding here. Don't you know this is Yike's territory?"
His first words were to distance himself from the matter. A self-deprecating smile played at the corner of Guo Tianlin's mouth. "The most dangerous place is the safest place. Besides, we're on the same page. Weren't you the one who instigated me to hit him?"
Lin Su's eyes narrowed slightly: "When did I instigate you to kill someone?"
Guo Tianlin refused to give in and glared back fiercely, "Don't forget, it was you who used my son as a threat to get me to deal with Fang so that you could accomplish your ulterior motives."
Hearing this, Lin Su's facial features distorted slightly in the dim light. She clenched her fists and kept reminding herself that there was no need to provoke a desperate man. "So, if you don't want to live, you have to drag Xiao Lang and me down with you, right?"
"If Xiao Lang knew that the man he had called dad for five years was a murderer, how would he feel, and how would others view him?"
Guo Tianlin didn't answer but laughed. He walked past her to the unsealed window sill and was still laughing. Finally, he was tired of laughing and simply sat down on the gravel-covered ground, leaning back on a pile of steel bars behind him as if to inhale. He really wanted to breathe a breath of fresh air, but unfortunately, the air was all turbid and mixed with flying sand and stones.
"Don't worry, everyone is responsible for their own actions. I don't want to drag you into this."
Lin Su looked at Guo Tianlin, who was sitting on the ground, and then at the window frame more than 20 floors high: "How can I feel at ease? The police have been questioning me every day recently."
The warning light on the distant crane suddenly flashed white. As it swept across the woman's grim face, Guo Tianlin glanced at her. "What's your reply?"
Lin Su blinked her eyelashes: "I told you that I broke up with you a long time ago. I have been staying in a hotel these days. I don't know anything else."
"Did anyone follow you on the way here?"
"No, I will do as you requested as soon as I receive the note." Lin Su stepped closer.
The lonely night is when one's willpower is weakest. Guo Tianlin lowered his head and held his forehead with one hand. In his ears was the whimpering sound of the tower crane cable in the wind, which sounded very much like the incoherent sound coming out of the throat of the man he had crushed to death as he begged for mercy.
His initial target was Fang Qingzhuo, the man in the center of the crowd, but a scapegoat suddenly appeared, ready to kill him. He almost did. He could have stopped there, but the sight of passersby panicking and running away kept stimulating his retina, and in an instant, an unprecedented pleasure quickly overtook him.
This reality, a society that always divides people into different classes, should have been wiped out long ago. He wants to enjoy watching those accomplices who are so high and mighty crawl at his feet and beg for mercy all day long.
"You just want to enter the Fang family legitimately, right? I can help you."
Lin Su suddenly stopped in her tracks: "You can't even protect yourself, how can you help me?"
Guo Tianlin tilted his head back slightly and licked his cracked lips. A rusty, bloody smell suddenly filled his throat. He fished out a wrinkled cigarette from his coat pocket. The moment the lighter lit up, Lin Su saw his slightly weathered, empty eyes. "You said I can barely protect myself, so what else do I have to be afraid of?"
"What I want is for them to acknowledge Xiao Lang and me."
"I have a plan."
"What method?"
These days, Lin Su tried every trick in the book to force the family to submit, but failed. She even moved Zhu Jie out. But Fang Qingzhuo refused to budge. Thinking back to the time when she was about to move into the Fang family as the mistress, he was so angry that he almost strangled her to death in the kitchen.
"He has been staying at a woman's house recently. Their relationship is not ordinary. She must be his girlfriend." Guo Tianlin exhaled smoke.
"Oh, there is such a thing." Under the moonlight, Lin Su's figure was stretched out, like a poisonous snake crawling excitedly in the mud, spitting out its tongue slowly and wrapping around the enemy.
"Lin Su." After a cigarette, Guo Tianlin threw away the butt, dusted off his pants, and stood up. He solemnly called her name again, as if he would never have the chance to do so again. "Five years ago, you came back to me without a word. I respected you and never asked what happened to you. I was never curious about Xiaolang's life experience. Although the neighbors often secretly ridiculed me for being a scapegoat, from the moment he called me dad, I already knew he was my own son."
He patted the load-bearing wall, looked around at the rough-hewn house, and imagined the scene of his family moving into their new home if all this hadn't happened. "Do you know why I asked you to go up to the 25th floor?"
Lin Su's mind had already flown far away, but she still shook her head in cooperation.
Guo Tianlin was not surprised by this. He stared at her eyes, which looked unusually strange in the night, and asked, "Do you have anything you want to say to me?"
"No."
"Well, I have one." He pulled out a bank card from his inner pocket. "This is a card I opened in your name. There's some money in it..."
Before he could finish, Lin Su took it, which still had a trace of his body temperature, and said, "Got it."
In this situation, Guo Tianlin wanted to ask her a very clichéd question, but he seemed to have guessed the answer and didn't want to bother asking for trouble, so he changed it: "Your press conference will go ahead as usual. I will then force Fang Qingzhuo to admit your mother and daughter's identities to the media. If you unfortunately fail, you can put all the blame on me. Finally, take good care of Xiaolang."
The crescent moon retreated, and the sky was now completely dark. The reinforced concrete world behind it seemed to have reached some kind of consensus with them, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
The east was getting brighter, and the dawn light was illuminating the whole city. In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the press conference. The reporters were ready to go, hoping to become famous with the exclusive news. Guo Tianlin was still driving the van, waiting near the industrial park, pretending to be a black car soliciting passengers. He knew that Fang Qingzhuo would always drop people off at the roadside and would not leave until they were safely inside the office building. Therefore, this gap was the perfect opportunity for him to make a move.
But compared to usual, it seemed a little late today. The fried dough sticks were all eaten, but there was still no sign of the SUV behind him. Guo Tianlin couldn't help but worry that the other party might have noticed him, sensed his presence and hid himself.
Just as his brain was frantically thinking about the next plan, he saw a black car parked steadily by the roadside in his peripheral vision. Then, a woman with long flowing hair and a fisherman's hat got out of the passenger seat.
The two seemed to be arguing, and Fang Qingzhuo in the driver's seat kept apologizing, vaguely saying that he was only ten minutes late and promised that he would not be late next time.
Guo Tianlin didn't dare to look at it for too long, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. After confirming the license plate number again and again, he lowered the brim of his hat and waited for his prey to pass by.
Estimating the distance to him was five meters, he held his breath.
Four meters, cold sweat broke out on my palms.
Sanmi, his fingertips unconsciously stroked the anesthetic syringe hidden in his sleeve.
Two meters, the syringe slipped into the palm of his hand.
One meter tall, he leaped up and grabbed the person's neck, quickly stabbing him in the neck. At the same time, he shouted to the owner of the SUV not far away: "Don't come over here, or I'll let her go to hell now."
Fang Qingzhuo, who was halfway down from the car, stopped where he was and didn't dare to move rashly.
After succeeding, Guo Tianlin made a provocative gesture of answering the phone, then climbed into the car with the unconscious hostage and drove away.
Twenty minutes later, Fang Qingzhuo, who was waiting in the car, really received a call from an unknown number.
"Hey, is this the person you kidnapped?"
The speakerphone immediately emitted a cold warning: "Let me be frank, if you dare to call the police, I will kill you immediately."
Fang Qingzhuo frowned: "I won't call the police, but first tell me, what happened to my girlfriend?"
Guo Tianlin listened to his anxious tone and thought that this man was not as heartless as Lin Su said. He glanced at the woman lying in the back seat, turned the steering wheel and turned into the abandoned unfinished building. "Don't worry, it's just an injection of anesthetic. But if you want her to live, you have to do what I say."
"You want money, right? Just tell me the amount."
"I hate talking about money the most."
Fang Qingzhuo couldn't help but sneer.
"What are you laughing at?" Guo Tianlin pulled the handbrake. "I wouldn't even dare to hit someone, let alone kill them."
Fang Qingzhuo spoke frankly, "I laugh at you for being so pretentious. You're just offended by vulgar things like the house and the money, and now you're trying to build a memorial archway for yourself."
"Damn it, believe it or not..."
"Tell me, what are the conditions?"
Guo Tianlin was really dissatisfied with his casual interruption and subconsciously cursed: "Fuck, are you the kidnapper or am I the kidnapper?"
Unexpectedly, Fang Qingzhuo showed no sign of weakness and suddenly raised his voice: "My girlfriend is still sick, I am more anxious than you."
Guo Tianlin took off his hat irritably and said loudly, "Listen carefully, I want you to do a paternity test and admit the identities of Lin Su and his son in front of all the media. I also want 10% of the company's shares. After that, I will send you an address. You come here alone with 100 million in cash. I will hand over the money and the son."
"Also, I advise you not to play tricks. You must have arranged for the Volkswagen that tried to follow the car just now. If you do it again, it won't be as simple as just losing it."
Fang Qingzhuo didn't say anything for at least half a minute: "Did Lin Su send you here?"
"No, it was my idea alone." Guo Tianlin immediately denied it in a stern voice.
Fang Qingzhuo curled his lips, his words stabbed with a knife: "I can find out some things about you and Lin Su. You are quite open-minded to let your son recognize someone else as his father."
Instantly, Guo Tianlin's veins bulged. "If you keep nagging me, I can't guarantee that your girlfriend would have some flammable device strapped to her body."
Fang Qingzhuo then realized how much he had underestimated his opponent. The only other degree listed on his resume was chemistry. He was silent for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and compromised, "Okay, I have only one request. Don't touch her finger, not even a fingernail. I've finally managed to fatten up my girlfriend, and if I find out she's lost a single hair, I'll have Lin Su and that brat buried with her."
