Chapter 11 Chapter 11
In the end, reason overcame the money-brain. He was so eager to escape last night that he had no time to think too much. Now he calmed down and thought about it. From the very beginning of their meeting, Yan Xiu repeatedly said that this group of people were not just kidnappers, but were determined to kill him. It seemed that the goal was very clear, and she was just a by-product.
Another point: even if it were the reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, she wouldn't necessarily give 20 million for a stranger she'd met for less than half an hour, right? Yan Xiu was clearly not Guanyin Bodhisattva, so he did this because he felt his life was coming to an end and money was useless, so he might as well use it to save her life.
To sum up, Yan Xiu not only knew very well that this group of people's purpose was to take his life, but he might have also guessed who was the mastermind behind the scenes.
Now the Yan family has asked her to sign a confidentiality agreement. Is it because they don't want the kidnapping to be made public, fearing that exposure will affect the family business? Or is it because they are afraid that someone will take advantage of it and discover clues that will harm the murderer?
Gu Ting's thoughts turned over and over, and finally condensed into one sentence: "Is this what Yan Xiu meant?"
Lawyer Liu was surprised by her hesitation. After all, he knew very well that Gu Ting needed money. However, he still answered patiently: "Mr. Xiaoyan is currently receiving treatment in the hospital."
Gu Ting's brows relaxed and he threw the document back to Lawyer Liu: "Ask Yan Xiu to talk to me in person." After all, Yan Xiu was the victim and he had tried every means to save her. The two of them had shared life and death. It would be too unfair to do this.
After saying that, he started drinking the instant noodle soup.
Lawyer Liu finally showed his first vivid expression since entering the door, which was called speechless: It was just a bowl of instant noodle soup, how could it be more delicious than 5 million?
But he saw that Gu Ting was only focused on drinking the soup and had no intention of discussing further. After thinking about it, he gave up and turned to talking about the case.
In a few words, Lawyer Liu explained the current situation clearly. Ding Chong and his two subordinates had been arrested. Ding Chong's left eyeball was ruptured and there was no hope of recovery. He was currently in the hospital for treatment. His two subordinates were not seriously injured. Only the one stabbed by Gu Ting had lost a lot of blood, but his internal organs were intact and he would be fine after a few days of treatment. Although Gu Ting had stabbed this person, he survived and she had acted in self-defense, so it was not a big problem for Lawyer Liu.
Gu Ting was not surprised by this result at all. She had no intention of stabbing him in the kidneys, she just wanted to make him bleed and make the kidnapper lose his fighting ability. However, Yan Xiu was really addicted to being a good person and insisted on hiring a lawyer to help her.
Gu Ting sat for a while, and the police came to take her statement. As the only person involved who was unharmed, the police finally understood the whole incident and the causes and consequences from her mouth. However, during the recording process, the police doubted their ears several times and their expressions were very tense. They originally thought that Gu Ting and Yan Xiu's escape from the kidnappers' lair would be a painful and inspirational film, but they didn't expect that although there was a passionate and inspirational film, all the suffering fell on the kidnappers.
He was stabbed in the kidney with a dagger buried with the ancients, his arm was scratched by an ancient sword, his head was covered with bruises from being hit by gold and silver treasures, and he was almost turned into a eunuch... Although each step can be justified, it inexplicably makes people feel like they are listening to a storybook.
Seeing the policemen speechless and looking at each other in bewilderment, Gu Ting said, "I know this story sounds too fantastical, but don't worry. This isn't the first time. Ding Chong's other two brothers were arrested the day before. They've had more experience than this. You'll get used to it after a few more encounters."
The police actually knew about this matter. The main reason was that the two men named Erdao and Dawei had such bizarre experiences when they were arrested. They were under a lot of pressure on themselves, so they rushed to spread such funny things, and it became known to everyone in a short time.
Gu Ting only learned about the incident from the police today. Her community was the second hideout prepared by Ding Chong. Only Erdao and Dawei were left behind, but the two were restless. Seeing that Gu Ting was alone and beautiful, they became lustful. However, no matter how vicious and evil they were, they were eventually punished by Gu Ting's strange fortune and were thrown into the police station.
The origin of the two million at Gu Ting's residence was finally explained. Erdao Dawei sneaked into her house that night and left a sack at her house to make it easier for him to do things. He planned to catch her and then come back to get the money after doing the things. However, not only did they fail in the end, they were also arrested and taken to the police station. The sack was naturally left at Gu Ting's house.
Gu Ting: “…” I was shocked!
After finding out the whole story, the police finally applauded Gu Ting for helping the people get rid of five major evils. He was very meritorious!
Gu Ting clapped mechanically, feeling a sense of fatigue in her heart. This was already the third bad debt she had faced today. Yesterday, she had fallen asleep peacefully with two million yuan in her arms, yet today, the two million yuan had mercilessly left her.
Suffocating sadness.
After finishing the statement, Gu Ting got into the police car and went home. The police were going to her residence to inspect the scene and collect evidence of the kidnappers' crimes. Before the car started, a policeman came over carrying a sack.
From the moment the sack appeared, Gu Ting could not take her eyes away. She was young before and did not understand the importance of "Wan Wan Lei Qing". Now she completely understood it - this sack was exactly the same as the sack containing 2 million yuan that she picked up at home.
The police were amused by her gentle gaze towards the sack, saying, "Ms. Gu, don't doubt it. This sack is the one you lost, the one that contained 2 million!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the policemen in the car looked sideways, and the policeman in the driver's seat couldn't help but look back, but they were not envious, but looking at him.
After a brief silence, the police officers began their class.
"Ms. Gu, it's not safe to keep so much cash in a rental house. It's more convenient and safer to keep it in a bank."
"Ms. Gu, have you received any strange phone calls recently? Remember: hang up on unfamiliar calls immediately, never reply to suspicious text messages; safe accounts are purely fictitious, so think twice before transferring large sums..."
“…”
Gu Ting smiled. Being with the police, the sense of security was so strong from head to toe and deep in his soul!
But Gu Ting was still full of questions: "Comrade police officer, you said this sack of money is mine?"
The last police officer to get on the car couldn't help laughing. "This 2 million yuan isn't part of Yan Xiu's ransom. It's something they stole during their escape. We've just confirmed that the target of their theft was Li Xingzhou. It's no surprise that he was targeted after absconding with such a large sum of cash. Didn't you report to the police earlier that Li Xingzhou had swindled all the money from you and absconded? So, this money has been returned to its original owner in a different way. Haha, if I hadn't handled this matter personally, I wouldn't believe it!"
Gu Ting: “…” Don’t say you don’t believe it, I don’t believe it myself. After all this time, these two million are really “mine”!
Why did two million appear in the rental house? Maybe it was because he missed home?
Even the experienced police officers couldn't help but exclaim: "She lost all her money and made it back. Miss Gu is so lucky!"
"This is a fantastic twist, perfect for a TV series. I love seeing good people get rewarded and bad guys get humiliated!"
Gu Ting hurriedly asked, "Comrade police officer, where was Li Xingzhou last stolen? If we follow the clues, can we find him?"
The police replied: "We have contacted the police over there and will notify you immediately if there is any news."
Gu Ting leaned back in her chair, feeling more relaxed and happy than ever before. Whether or not she could catch Li Xingzhou was no longer important. What made her happiest at the moment was that she had the 2 million, plus the 1.2 million in her bank card, the 2.72 million after the first prize of the lottery was split equally, and the 480,000 after tax from the scratch-off lottery ticket, a total of 6.4 million. Not only could she pay off the 5 million debt in one go, but she would also have a surplus of 1.4 million.
1.4 million! Her lifelong dream—a small house of her own—was finally coming true! As for the house she won in the lottery, she'd see how it fared after she got it.
Pay off the debt and buy a small house. Two major events in life are achieved at the same time. It is a great thing that comes at the same time. How many times can you encounter such a great thing in your life? Who wouldn’t be excited and happy?
Because she was in a good mood, when Gu Ting returned to her rental house, she was not at all upset by the smashed windows, the glass shards on the floor, and the door lock that had been forced open. Compared to the 2 million yuan, this amount of compensation was just a drop in the bucket.
Gu Ting thought so, and finally understood what it meant that money could solve most of life's troubles. If this situation happened a year ago, she would be so angry that she couldn't eat for a week, just to save money to fill this hole.
While the police were collecting evidence, Gu Ting found his long-lost cell phone on the ground. Because the phone was so old, even the kidnappers didn't like it and were too lazy to steal it.
Gu Ting turned on his cell phone and found that the battery was already at the red line. When he saw the bright red 50+ missed calls and the green 99+ unread messages, everything made sense.
She casually flipped through it and found that Luo Yuan had 99+ unread messages and countless @s in the work group. Gu Ting directly sent a photo of herself and a police officer from behind to the work group, with the note: There was an accident at home, and the police are handling it at home.
Just one is enough, no further explanation is needed for the others.
Gu Ting was about to turn off his phone when he saw a friend request. He clicked it and saw the verification message: Yan Xiu.
Gu Ting agreed to the friend request and was about to charge her phone when the other party sent her a video invitation the next second. After agreeing, the phone showed Yan Xiu's slightly pale face, but her beautiful eyes were bright and lively.
Yan Xiu chuckled and said, "Gu Ting, are you interested in collaborating with me to defraud 20 million Huahua from the Yan family?"
Before he finished speaking, three pairs of eyes shot over like lasers, as if they wanted to scan Gu Ting's body from top to bottom, inside and out.
Gu Ting: "Hahahaha... This is Yan Xiu, I guess the anesthetic effect hasn't worn off yet, hehe..."
Gu Ting smiled and turned the phone screen towards the police. Now the police could see clearly, and Yan Xiu could see clearly too.
Yan Xiu was very calm, and said seriously with his deceptive face, "Comrade police officer, I didn't use any anesthesia. I'm serious."
Gu Ting: “&%#*￥&……&”
Police: “…” He seems to be in a bad mood.
They no longer paid attention to the conversation between the two, and Gu Ting and Yan Xiu tacitly performed a performance of talking at cross purposes. Seeing that the situation was almost the same, Gu Ting hung up the phone.
After a while, the police finished collecting evidence and left the rental house. Gu Ting immediately called Yan Xiu back.
"Is anyone around?"
Yan Xiu, who was lying on the hospital bed, shook his head and said with a smile, "No one."
"What do you mean by the 20 million you just mentioned? Aren't you a member of the Yan family?"
Yan Xiu silently raised his phone from his chin and replied, "You can sign the agreement that Lawyer Liu showed you, but I suggest you raise the amount to 20 million. We'll split the money evenly once it arrives. That way, not only will you be able to pay off your debt, but you'll also have a deposit. How's that?"
Gu Ting couldn't help but wonder: "Is owing money a glorious thing these days? How come the whole world knows that I owe money?" How did Yan Xiu know that there would be a surplus after paying off the debt with 10 million? Even the confidentiality agreement prepared by Lawyer Liu set the amount at 5 million from the beginning. She didn't believe that this was just a coincidence.
The tone changed: "Your last name is Yan too, why are you doing this? Actually, you want me to keep my mouth shut. Just tell me one thing, I don't want a penny!"
She is a very loyal person!
