Chapter 202 Chasing the Mysterious Man
Ye Bai went to the hospital's security department and asked to check the surveillance in the basement, but was told that the location where he parked his car was a blind spot for the surveillance.
He was absent-minded the whole day and didn't even listen to what Qi Xiaolei said to him.
Liao Wei asked Qi Xiaolei, "What is the most satisfying thing you have ever done since you were a child?"
This question made Qi Xiaolei think seriously, and she responded: "It should be when I was in high school and my sister beat up my uncle together."
Qi Xiaolei's answer made Ye Bai and Liao Wei look at her curiously.
From the look in their eyes, one could tell that they were looking forward to her answer.
Qi Xiaolei smiled and said, "It's actually nothing serious. I just don't like him."
Liao Wei pressed her: "I'm so anxious, tell me why you beat your uncle?"
Qi Xiaolei smiled and replied, "My uncle had two sons and a daughter. I only have three sisters in my family. My parents are honest. My uncle looked down on my father and our family because he had two sons. The night we beat him up, it was mainly because he said in front of us that girls will get married sooner or later and don't need to study so much. Going to college is a waste of money. It's better for them to go out to work early so that when his son gets married, we can also give him some money."
Liao Wei asked her: "Then what?"
"Then no one in our family paid any attention to him. After he left, my eldest sister and I took a sack of cow dung and went through the back door to trap him from behind. We didn't dare to make a sound, but just beat and kicked him silently, so that he would look down on our family and talk too much and want our money."
After hearing this, Liao Wei gave her a thumbs up and said, "Great!"
Ye Bai was also listening with great interest, "What happens next?"
Qi Xiaolei nodded, "I think he should know that we sisters beat him, but we have no evidence. Anyway, he has been much more obedient since then. We have also been doing well after we started working. The three sisters jointly bought a house in the city and brought our parents over. We also locked up their old home and no one lived there. We have not had much contact with their family since then. Anyway, I think that it is better to stay out of other people's family affairs and live your own life. It is better than anything else to have your parents alive and sisters living in harmony."
Liao Wei agrees with Qi Xiaolei's words very much, "Live your own life well, don't discuss the pros and cons of other people's family affairs, everyone has their own destiny, no one can predict what will happen in the future, cherish the people around you, and live in the present."
Ye Bai watched them discussing with each other, and he did not respond the whole time.
When he got off work in the evening, he took with him the 200,000 yuan he had withdrawn from the bank during the day.
Ye Bai followed the instructions on the mysterious note and carefully placed the backpack next to the nurse's desk on the first floor.
However, the expected figure did not appear, and all that came into view was another piece of paper, firmly pressed down by an irregular stone, lying quietly on the nurse's table?
He slowly picked up the note and gently stroked the words on it with his fingertips. It simply said: Put the cash at the nurse's desk on the first floor. The answer you want is at the nurse's desk on the third floor.
Ye Bai's eyes were deep, and he thought to himself that this was undoubtedly a "luring the tiger away from the mountain" strategy carefully arranged by the other party to distract his attention.
However, out of his persistent pursuit of the truth, he resolutely chose to go to the third floor alone, fearless even though the road ahead was unknown.
The corridor on the third floor seemed particularly eerie and dark compared to the spacious first floor. Only Ye Bai's footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, and every step was firm and resolute.
In this heart-poundingly quiet environment, his heart did not feel the slightest ripple of fear. Instead, it was filled with an urgent desire to uncover the mystery, which drove him forward until he reached the nurses' station on the third floor.
Sure enough, there was a note placed at the nurse's desk on the third floor.
On the note, the handwriting was scribbled: Please don't come to me again, I am extremely short of money right now, and I know nothing about the mastermind behind the so-called kidnapping.
Ye Bai's face instantly turned gloomy. He angrily crumpled the note into a ball, threw it to the ground, and then snorted coldly.
He quickly took out his cell phone and started tracking the location.
Just as he expected, the person who wrote the note had taken away his backpack on the first floor and hurriedly fled the old hospital.
However, how could this stump Ye Bai, who had already been prepared?
He snorted again, followed him without hesitation, and chased after him at high speed.
Although he was a little slow and only had time to catch a glimpse of the taillights of the silver car in front of him as it moved away, it didn't matter.
Ye Bai jumped into the car nimbly, stepped on the accelerator decisively, and the car accelerated suddenly, following closely behind.
He keenly noticed that the car was heading towards the winding mountain road. As soon as the idea came to his mind, he drove straight towards it without hesitation.
"Bang--"
A deafening crash suddenly sounded in the empty sky and earth. Ye Bai did not give them any chance to breathe. He stepped on the accelerator again and drove the car hard.
Finally, the silver car broke down and had to stop on the side of the road.
Ye Bai watched coldly, and saw two men staggering out of the car. One of them was carrying a heavy black backpack filled with 200,000 yuan in cash, which made it difficult for him to walk. There was no way he could be Ye Bai's opponent.
However, in just a few seconds, Ye Bai subdued the two men to the ground with lightning speed, and they were unable to move.
"Please, stop hitting us and spare our lives." The man's face was full of fear. He looked at Ye Bai pleadingly and begged for mercy in a trembling voice.
Ye Bai took out handcuffs from his waist, and skillfully locked one person's left hand and the other's right foot to ensure that they could not break free and escape.
He then carefully opened the black backpack and checked it thoroughly. Seeing that the cash inside was intact, he put the bag back in the car with confidence.
He stared at one of the men with sharp eyes and asked in a cold tone, "Who are you? How did you know that I was kidnapped when I was a child, and why did you set up an elaborate scheme to defraud money? You are really brave."
"I... my name is Luo Lin, and I'm your brother's friend." The man answered stutteringly, with a barely perceptible tremor in his voice.
"Luo Lin?" Ye Bai had a look of disbelief on his face after hearing this. "Didn't you go to Qiyang City? How come you are here?"
Luo Lin looked up at Ye Bai in confusion, "How...how do you know I went to Qiyang City?"
Ye Bai snorted coldly, "Don't worry about how I know this, just tell me why you know about me."
"I heard your brother talk about it before. Now you are in a lot of debt and have been hiding from your creditors. I had no choice but to think of your brother who once mentioned that you were kidnapped when you were a child and the kidnappers had not been caught yet. Then...then we..."
Luo Lin wanted to say something but stopped herself, not daring to look at Ye Bai's stern face.
"Then you set your sights on me, right?" Ye Bai said disdainfully.
