The four tires scraped across the road and sped past.
Outside the car window, the countryside scenery kept receding.
A mobile phone was placed on the bracket of the driver's seat. It was turned off with a black screen. The plush lamb pendant on the rear of the phone swayed as the vehicle moved.
The road stretched endlessly forward, so straight that it seemed to have no end.
Bai Ye stepped on the accelerator, accelerated, and turned on his cell phone at the same time.
Ding-ling-ding-ling——
The phone woke up from being turned off for a long time, made a crisp notification sound, the screen lit up, and then made a video call.
despair.
Not long after, the video call from the other end was connected.
A middle-aged woman appeared on the phone screen:
"Hello, ...Bai Ye?"
Her face was somewhat similar to Bai Ye's. She was sitting on a soft sofa, with a little boy and a little girl leaning on her left and right, probably watching TV together.
"Yeah, mom."
Bai Ye responded while steering the wheel with one hand.
His parents divorced when he was 12 years old. His mother later met her current husband, Tavien, in a foreign company. The two returned to the UK to start a new family and had a son and a daughter.
"Mom..."
The voices of the younger brother and sister came from the phone. Bai Ye's mother pointed at the phone and turned the screen to them:
"Look, it's Brother Bai Ye calling."
With curly and shiny brown hair, big watery black eyes, and skin as white as snow, the mixed-race brothers and sisters crowded in front of the screen and greeted Bai Ye together:
"Hey!! Brother Baiye, are you okay?"
The two of them didn't speak Chinese very well and couldn't pronounce the standard pronunciation of "Bai Ye". They just kept calling him "Bai Ye, Bai Ye".
Bai Ye laughed and deliberately slowed down his Chinese speaking speed so that they could understand:
"I'm fine. I'm going out for a drive. How about you guys?"
The three of them exchanged pleasantries in broken Chinese for a while, and Bai Ye's mother took the phone again:
"Son, what's the matter? Why are you calling me suddenly? Is there something wrong?"
Bai Ye trembled his lips, said nothing, and remained silent.
My mother's voice continued to come from the phone:
"Are you... driving? Kid, you should concentrate on driving. Why are you still calling? I'm calling you. I'll hang up first. I'll pick you up when you get there?"
"It's okay, Mom. There are not many people on this road."
Bai Ye interrupted first.
He didn't know if he would be able to get off the bus safely. Perhaps, now was the last moment of his life.
Mom: "I heard you say you were going out for a drive. Didn't Xiao Su just have a heart operation? Why didn't you stay in the hospital? Where did you go?"
Bai Ye's fingers gripping the steering wheel tightened for a moment.
He glanced at the "Su Yi" who was in the passenger seat, with his hands and feet tied, wearing a black hood, and falling into a coma. He forced a smile and said calmly to the mother on the screen:
"He's recovering well. The hospital ward was too stuffy, so I took him out for a ride."
Click.
The sound of a door opening came from the other end of the phone, and the mixed-race brother and sister ran over, calling Daddy...
Soon, a foreigner with brown hair and gray eyes appeared on the screen. He had some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but a high nose and deep eyes. His features still retained the handsomeness of his youth. It was my mother's current husband, Tavien.
He smiled very friendly and waved enthusiastically to Bai Ye:
"Hey! Baiye!"
"Hi, Tavion." Bai Ye smiled and communicated with him in not very fluent English.
"Okay, okay, stop communicating in English. It's so awkward." Mom snatched the phone away:
"Bai Ye, you studied abroad, why is your spoken English still so bad? Look at Xiao Su, how good is he? Learn from him, he is good at math and English..."
Bai Ye: “Yeah.”
"Okay, you won't listen to me, just focus on driving. Have fun with Xiao Su, and take some pictures to show us later."
Bai Ye: “…Okay.”
"Then bye bye, Amy, Edmond, come here and say goodbye to your brother."
"Bye, bro, see you later..."
Tavien also came over and waved, speaking Chinese in a London accent: "See you later—"
A family of four crowded together? It’s packed into a small mobile phone screen, lively and harmonious.
With beautiful mixed-race brothers and sisters and a friendly husband, Tavien, the mother lives a happy life in her new home.
Bai Ye smiled at the screen and said softly:
"Goodbye, Mom."
An open black suitcase lay on the back seat.
The unconscious "Su Yi" was lying on the passenger seat.
Unconscious and without awareness, his head covered with a black cloth swayed slightly as the vehicle moved forward, and his jade-white hands were folded and placed above his stomach.
She looks so quiet like Snow White in an ice coffin.
Bai Ye was driving a brand new off-road vehicle, and the tires were running fast along the ground, making a buzzing sound like a low roar.
There were vast wildernesses on both sides of the road, with gray-green grass stretching all the way to the horizon. In the vast expanse of space and sky, there was not a single person or car to be seen, as if he and he were the only ones left in the world, the only remaining human species in the universe.
Bai Ye held the steering wheel with one hand and pressed a button with the other hand. The car screen immediately switched from the music channel to the local news channel and began to broadcast in real time:
A string of English words came out in a jumble.
Did you listen in the night? You didn't quite understand, you only heard bits and pieces, and you understood a few words: Royal Hospital, Kidnapper, Patient, Police.
Probably reporting on him.
When leaving the hospital, Bai Ye turned off his cell phone, and Su Yi's cell phone was left in the ward without being taken away.
We shouldn't be able to find him from the signal, right?
Bai Ye was not quite sure, but this counterfeit could even invade other people's brains, and he might have some unpredictable high-tech positioning technology on him.
He couldn't confirm this either.
Bai Ye knew very well in his heart that there was no way he could escape from a kidnapping that was a spur-of-the-moment move.
There are surveillance cameras in the hospital corridors. If you check, you will find him leaving pushing a huge suitcase.
There are surveillance cameras in the hospital's basement garage. You can check to see how many models and license plates the car has.
When he drove out of the city, there were surveillance cameras on the main roads, so the police could tell at a glance which road he was driving on and where he was going.
With modern technology, criminals like him who are not smart enough can be said to be caught by the law and have nowhere to escape.
Squeak—squeak—
Bai Ye stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, the off-road vehicle's engine roared, and the car was like an arrow shot out, cutting through the air on the deserted road.
The wind blew through the car window, making a whistling sound.
He didn't care about being caught. In fact, being caught was one of the better outcomes he had imagined for himself.
Before implementing the kidnapping plan, Bai Ye had assessed that with his current personal strength and the tools he possessed, it would be absolutely impossible for him to escape all pursuits by himself and successfully escape with "Su Yi".
The key to the kidnapping plan lies not in the result but in the process.
It takes time to discover that "Su Yi" is missing, it takes time to check the hospital surveillance, it takes time to check the basement surveillance, it takes time to call the police, it takes time for the police to check the main road surveillance, and it also takes time to catch up.
When I was a child, I heard that time is money and money can’t buy time. Today, Bai Ye has deeply experienced this.
The time difference is his biggest trump card to win.
He looked in the rearview mirror. There was no police car with red lights on the road behind him.
So far, everything has been going smoothly, more smoothly than Bai Ye had imagined. He held his breath. The God of Luck was on his side for the time being. He wondered how long he could support him.
This car was bought to take Su Yi on a trip, and this road was also found when making a travel guide. Unexpectedly, it was used to kidnap Su Yi in the end.
The road is almost at the end. At the end, the straight road splits into two.
Bai Ye stepped on the brakes, the car gradually slowed down, and stopped at the fork in the road.
He rolled down the window and let in the fresh, cool air.
Bai Ye glanced at "Su Yi" beside him and took a deep breath.
Then he dialed his cell phone and made the last video call of his life.
The bell rang three times and the other end picked up the phone.
What caught his eye was a jade tea table. His father was holding a purple clay teapot and was placing his cell phone on a stand. He asked lazily:
"What's the matter? It's really strange that you called me via video today."
Bai Ye's father was sitting in the garden of the western-style villa. Not far away, two little boys were playing under the shade of a tree. They were Bai Ye's half-brothers.
Soon, Aunt Jiang appeared on the screen, handing tea leaves to her father and asking softly if he wanted her to make some for him. She turned around and saw Bai Ye on the phone, and greeted him with a gentle smile.
After my parents divorced, my father married Aunt Jiang, a Chinese from Country M. They had twins and formed a harmonious new family.
"Where are you driving to?" Father Bai asked casually while making tea.
Bai Ye: "Mount San Gini."
"Oh——" Father Bai thought for a moment and remembered this place, Country M:
"That's a snowy mountain! Xiao Su just had a heart surgery, and you're taking people to climb the snowy mountain? Are you crazy, you little brat? Where's Xiao Su? Come out and take a look..."
"He's asleep." Bai Ye casually pointed at the tied-up hostage beside him and said:
"We didn't climb the mountain. Isn't there a ski resort here? I just drove him around here and let him see the scenery."
"Xiao Su is a patient who has just recovered. You have to take good care of him. When is the school holiday? Bring him over here to play. Your two younger brothers are clamoring to play games with you."
"Yeah." Bai Ye responded.
A familiar ringtone sounded from the other end of the phone; it was his father's work phone ringing.
"Okay, I'll hang up first if there's nothing else. If there's a call coming in, say hello to Xiao Su for me."
Bai Ye nodded.
On the screen, my father hadn't hung up yet. He was silent for a moment, then spoke again:
"By the way, drive slowly."
Bai Ye froze for a moment, his eyes a little sore, he maintained a normal voice and replied:
"…good."
despair--
The video was disconnected and the phone returned to a black screen.
The surroundings were quiet. In front of the car, a gray road meandered, and under the blue sky, the top of the Sangeni Snow Mountain stood.
After seeing his parents for the last time, Bai Ye felt the long-lost peace in his heart when he saw that his father and mother were living their lives as usual and doing well in their new families.
When I was a child, most of my classmates were only children, and a family of three would hold hands at the school gate and in the amusement park.
They are their parents' only child, and all their life energy seems to revolve around this one child. They want to stay together no matter what happens, and they also feel that such a relationship is natural, normal and common.
Bai Ye, whose family situation was different from theirs, understood one thing from a very young age:
Parents don't revolve around their children. At least not in his family.
When he was twelve years old, his divorced mother said goodbye to him solemnly:
"Bai Ye, Mom is going to England."
"The company sent me to the headquarters, which was considered a promotion."
The twelve-year-old Bai Ye said against his will: Congratulations.
His mother noticed his dissatisfaction and said to him patiently:
"Although mom and dad are separated, they will still love you as before."
——Xiao Baiye felt disdainful in his heart. He had a feeling of being abandoned and betrayed. He was about to leave, but he was still saying such polite words. This was the decency of an adult, right?
"but……"
Mom sat beside him and said softly:
"Although I love you, mom and dad also have their own lives and different life choices. Can you understand that?"
The young boy Bai Ye lowered his head and said nothing.
After a long pause, he asked:
"Will I... also have my own life choices in the future?"
"certainly!"
His mother seemed to find his question funny. She smiled and said to him:
"One day, you will also encounter the important moment of choosing your own life, just like your mother."
Bai Ye: "…What if I make the wrong choice at that time?"
"Well, life is not a multiple-choice test. Many times, there is no right or wrong. As long as you don't regret your choice and can bear all the consequences yourself, then it is the right choice."
There is a fork in the road in front of us. One path continues forward, bypassing the snow-capped Mount Sanginni and continuing to the flat wilderness ahead.
The other road, winding its way up through the undulating mountains, is one of the most dangerous and most beautiful roads in the world: the San Genie Snow Mountain Road.
Bai Ye gripped the steering wheel tightly.
He only half understood what his mother said when she left. After the divorce, his parents each formed a new family and gave birth to new brothers and sisters.
The young boy Bai Ye, sandwiched between two happy new families, is like an unfortunate failure, heralding the failure of his parents' last marriage.
When he was a paranoid teenager, Bai Ye had thought more than once: if he and the children in his parents' new family fell into the water together, who would his parents choose to save first?
This question is boring.
Bai Ye himself knew it clearly.
He cannot forbid his parents to divorce and continue to live together, nor does he have the right to prevent his parents from forming a new family. It is even more unreasonable for him to demand that he must be their only child and enjoy all and only love.
That kind of thing can't be done.
Later, he made a lot of friends in class and got along very well with them, but he couldn't ask any of them to only regard him as the only friend and not make friends with anyone else. That would make him seem like a paranoid pervert.
While boys of the same age were still in the stage of sexual awakening and took a casual attitude towards love, the young Bai Ye fell into serious thinking.
After a long adolescence, Bai Ye finally figured it out:
In this world, there is only one kind of relationship that can demand uniqueness.
At least when they are together, he will become the only one for another person and build a life that belongs to them alone. He will have all the love and for this, he will give everything he has.
Bai Ye sat in the driver's seat and stretched out his hand. His cell phone was placed on the car holder with a plush lamb hanging on the end.
The lamb stretched out its hands, asking for a hug pitifully. Bai Ye placed his fingertips between the lamb's hands and let it hug gently.
I placed my fingertips on the lamb's soft belly and pressed down a little, and felt a coin-like magnet.
The other lamb that was its pair was thrown into a dirty trash can, covered with hospital viruses and bacteria, and could no longer be close to it.
Bai Ye lowered his head, the sad negative emotions almost broke down his psychological defenses.
He called Su Yi's name softly, with his forehead leaning against the plush lamb, as if trying to draw some courage, the courage to choose life.
On the car radio, the American Police were vigorously pursuing him, and among the pursuers there might be the gunmen from the previous street attack.
Before my eyes, the steep and towering snow-capped mountain road spirals upward and disappears into the clouds.
He is nineteen years old and he is still afraid of dying.
But if he leaves here the [only] thing he has found with great difficulty and abandons it, he will live in the haze of regret from then on and look down on himself for the rest of his life.
The mobile phone on the stand was taken down.
Bai Ye clenched his fists, took off the plush lamb pendant, left it beside him, kept his phone on, turned on the signal, and rolled down the window:
Bang--
He raised his hand and threw the phone towards the blue sky and snow-capped mountains outside the window!
The phone hit the rocks, the lit screen cracked, and it rolled down the hillside in the opposite direction, rolling very far, so far that it could not be seen in the daytime.
If there are pursuers who track him through cell phone signals, I hope this not-so-new trick can play a certain role.
Bai Ye raised his head and looked towards the peak of the snow-capped mountain.
Start the engine, step on the accelerator, turn the steering wheel——
The car turned, left the fork in the road, left the flat road ahead, and turned directly onto the Snow Mountain Highway!
Look straight ahead and keep a steady speed.
Then--
Click, Bai Ye pressed a button, and the backrest of the passenger seat, which was lying flat, instantly bounced into a sitting position.
The bounced "Su Yi" sat upright instantly, his body fixed to the seat by the seat belt, but his head was shaking violently, and he groaned uncomfortably in a coma.
Bai Ye reached out indifferently and pulled off the black hood with merciless force, then tore off the tape that sealed his mouth.
Sizzle——
There was a teeth-grinding sound as the glue tore at the tender skin, causing severe tearing pain.
The fake "Su Yi" screamed and woke up from his coma in pain.
Bai Ye saw that Su Yi's lips had turned white from being taped. It must have been very painful to tear it off like that.
Bai Ye felt a sharp pain in his left chest. He looked away and forced himself not to look. He must not show his weakness in front of this fake.
This "Su Yi" opened his eyes hazily, saw the car, the driver's seat, the speeding car, and the unfamiliar mountain scenery outside the window. He couldn't figure out the situation for a moment, and he screamed in a shrill voice:
"Bai Ye, what's wrong with you? Where are you...taking me? I...I'm a little scared. Bai Ye, can we get off the car first?"
Bai Ye: "If you act like a bitch to me again, I'll break your neck."
"Su Yi" was so frightened that he fell silent instantly.
When he just woke up, his limbs were paralyzed, so he didn't feel anything just now. Now that his consciousness is gradually returning, he feels pain in his wrists and ankles, which are all tied up tightly with ropes!
"You are not Su Yi." Bai Ye said.
"...Bai Ye, what nonsense are you talking about? I am Su Yi, look at me, this face——"
Bai Ye: “You are not.”
The other party was silent.
Bai Ye observed that the man was looking quickly out the window and in the rearview mirror.
...probably to see if anyone could catch up and rescue him.
Bai Ye smiled inwardly and said:
"Don't look at it. The police are looking for me. I will definitely be caught. I guess your forces are also looking for you."
"Su Yi" didn't say anything, but looked at him with his black eyes. Although his facial features were exactly the same as Su Yi's, Bai Ye felt a sense of viciousness.
He kidnapped "Su Yi" just to confront this man alone.
If you want to win, you must seize the opponent's weakness.
This group of people is very powerful, and Bai Ye cannot defeat them alone, whether it is a simple fight of firepower or conspiracy.
Therefore, the counterfeit must be caught separately. It will take time for both the police and that group of forces to catch up with him.
And this time difference is his chance of winning in this life-and-death gamble.
Now, there are three people in this small space inside the car:
He, the fake "Su Yi", and the real Su Yi (assuming Su Yi is still alive).
Think about it carefully, who is the person with the most urgent desire?
The more urgent it is, the more vulnerable you are, and the easier it is to collapse in a life-and-death gamble.
When he first thought about this problem, Bai Ye felt that he was most urgent.
He wanted to rescue Su Yi and live with Su Yi, but the bad guy controlled Su Yi's body, had enough firepower to kill him, and could call the police and cooperate with them. No matter what he tried, he was extremely passive and faced many difficulties.
From the perspective of the real Su Yi, Su Yi had just cured his congenital heart disease and gained the health he had dreamed of for so many years. They were about to experience a new life together, but suddenly, they were replaced by the bad guy.
How unwilling he is and how much he wants to survive? As his lover, Bai Ye can understand this best.
He and Su Yi both have urgent desires, and both seem to have many weaknesses, but when Bai Ye switches his perspective to the fake "Su Yi", he puts himself in the shoes of the bad guy and thinks about his situation -
He suddenly discovered that this fake "Su Yi" was the one with all kinds of weaknesses.
"Bai Ye, Bai Ye! I...I really don't know what you are talking about...What's wanted, what's the police, I don't understand..."
The fake "Su Yi"'s voice was filled with tears:
"Can we go home? Stop this... I'm so scared!"
Bai Ye saw this man frowning his eyebrows to pretend sadness, filling his eyes with fake tears, and choking in Su Yi's voice, looking like he was about to cry.
It's so disgusting!
This was the first time in Bai Ye's life that he wanted to kill someone so much. If he hadn't been concerned about Su Yi's health, he would have done it long ago.
He gritted his teeth, holding back all the anger that was affecting his rationality, and swallowed it hard. The expression on his face was indifferent to life and death, and extremely cold:
"Don't be afraid. Soon, you won't feel anything."
Bai Ye gripped the steering wheel tightly and accelerated suddenly.
"ah!!"
The fake "Su Yi" screamed in fear: "What... do you mean!"
The off-road vehicle sped along the snowy mountain road, making a low roar, and the speedometer dial increased one notch at a time.
Bai Ye laughed morbidly:
"Don't you know? Su Yi and I had an agreement before."
He made up a shady agreement that didn't exist:
"We agreed that if his heart surgery failed, I would take him and drive to this snowy mountain road at a speed of 200 mph, and we would fall off the mountain and die together."
Su Yi's face turned pale, and his expression was sluggish for a moment. He stammered with disbelief on his face:
"…Wh…what?"
Bai Ye's face was calm, and he said with a firm tone:
"I'll drive the car to 200, and wait a moment, Su Yi, we'll be together forever soon."
! !
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Ye successfully witnessed that the fake "Su Yi" had a look of fear on his face and his lips were trembling and turning blue.
He guessed correctly. Right now, the one who was most anxious and afraid of death was not him or the real Su Yi, but this fake one.
This group of people had been searching everywhere since a long time ago, and finally found the six-year-old genius Su Yi. They sent out a tool man named Wang Suren to raise him, monitor and check on him from time to time, and also adopted other children with heart disease for Su Yi, and set up a so-called foundation as a cover.
From the age of 6 to 19, thirteen years, this impostor and his organization waited for Su Yi's brain for 13 years.
There is also a special killer team that was formed and purchased firearms and ammunition to develop military strength. I don't know how much money was spent during this period, but it must have been several hundred million.
The most crucial thing is the weird technology of invading the human brain. The development of this technology, which is so terrifying that it can change human history, is worth spending hundreds of billions of dollars on.
In the end, this group of people successfully occupied Su Yi's brain and won a great victory. However, it is still unclear what they will do after occupying the brain.
Before setting off, Bai Ye estimated the worst possible outcome of this trip. It was nothing more than that he failed and could not save Su Yi. He died, and Su Yi also died.
To him, he was going to be killed in the shooting. If the accident with the Asian youth had not happened, he would have been a dead body long ago.
As for Su Yi, it is still unknown whether he is really alive. Perhaps... he was already brain dead during the operation.
The ending of double death was not unacceptable to Bai Ye. He could take this rubbish counterfeit with him to be buried with him before he died, which was not a loss.
But when it comes to this fake "Su Yi", after waiting for thirteen years and spending billions, on the day of success, she is suddenly tied up by a stranger whom she has known for less than a day, and drag raced to commit suicide on a snowy mountain highway, and finally turned into a pool of human meat.
——This ending is so ridiculous!
The snowy mountain road twists and turns, and there is a turn ahead. Bai Ye holds the steering wheel with relaxed fingers, steps on the accelerator calmly, and is ready to die.
The speedometer suddenly increased, the car speed soared to nearly 100, the tires scraped on the mountain road with a sharp sound, and on both sides were snow-capped mountains...
"ah----!!"
Drifting on the curve, the mountain road was left with black marks like a branding iron. The centrifugal force made the heart seem to fall out of the chest. The counterfeit "Su Yi" was so scared that he screamed wildly and almost collapsed.
Bai Ye curled the corners of his mouth and said nothing. He continued to drive fast on the snowy mountain road. He was on the verge of death every moment and bet his entire life.
Snow-capped peaks reflected the red and orange sunlight, towering over the road ahead.
He wanted this arrogant guy to remember that his kidnapping plan was not perfect, and he could not fight against such a huge force. He was wanted and hunted, but -
During this time difference, he will completely control the life of this scumbag!
If you don't tell me Su Yi's whereabouts, I will step on the accelerator and fall off the mountain and die together.
No matter how powerful one is, how much money one has, how high one's status is, or how powerful one is, one will eventually face the most ridiculous and miserable ending in life:
Death in a puddle of rotten meat.
