Chapter 229 You Are the Scapegoat
Zhu Qingnan swallowed and said, "Because we wanted to kidnap your brother, but for some reason, you ended up sitting in the car. We realized we kidnapped the wrong person and quickly called your employer, but he scolded us and hung up the phone. We couldn't get through again. We had no choice but to ask your family for a ransom."
After hearing this, Ye Bai's face turned extremely ugly. With a heavy heart, he muttered to himself, "The person you originally wanted to kidnap was my brother? Why did you kidnap my brother?"
Zhu Qingnan nodded and continued, "That's right, you just became your brother's scapegoat by mistake. This was the employer's request, saying that if we kidnapped your brother, we would be paid 5 million. At that time, we would hand over the person and the money at the same time. In the end, we kidnapped the wrong person, and the employer hung up the phone and ignored us. We had no choice but to act on our own."
Ye Bai stared at him closely, with a hint of urgency in his voice: "Then do you know who the employer is?"
Zhu Qingnan suddenly became excited and raised his voice a few notches: "We call him 'Xiao Ge'. He hired us to kidnap your brother and said he would give us 5 million after the mission was completed. He was generous and Cao Ge had helped him with many things, so of course we believed in him, and that's why we planned this kidnapping."
"Which boy? What's your name?"
Zhu Qingnan shook his head. "I don't know. It was Cao Ge who contacted them. He was the one who communicated with them."
Ye Bai asked: "Then how can we find him?"
"I was brought here by Cao Ge. Only he knows who Xiao Ge is and where he is."
Ye Bai is very annoyed now. Cao Ge has been shot dead on the spot. Where can he ask?
Then he fell into deep memories again.
He and Ye Che attended the same private school, and each had a driver to pick them up and drop them off at school.
Because Ye Bai had a well-behaved personality when he was a child, his mother signed him up for various interest classes after school. However, because Ye Che had a lively personality and was disobedient, his mother never signed him up for any interest classes.
He won't go even if he has signed up for interest classes.
That day, Ye Bai's interest class teacher took a day off due to illness, so he did not go to class.
The driver who was originally supposed to pick him up was also told not to go to school, because the driver in charge of Ye Che said that he could just wait for Ye Che to finish school and then take them home together.
Ye Bai remembered that day, Ye Che was kept after school by the teacher because he had not finished his homework, and he could not leave the school for a while.
The driver decided to send Ye Bai home first.
However, halfway through the journey, Zhu Qingnan and Cao Ge had already ambushed at the intersection. They suddenly knocked over the car that was originally used to pick up Ye Che, and then carried the unconscious Ye Bai away...
Ye Bai looked at Zhu Qingnan, "Can you guarantee that what you just said is true?"
"There's no need for me to lie to you. We were also badly hurt by Xiao Ge."
After the interrogation, Han Jianye pondered for a moment, turned to look at Ye Bai, and asked with a slightly puzzled tone: "Do you think this 'younger brother' is a relative, friend, or business partner of your family? Is he jealous or has some conflict with you, so he wants to attack your brother?"
Ye Bai frowned, trying to search his mind, and said, "I know all my relatives, but there doesn't seem to be anyone named 'Xiaong Ge' or anyone with the sound of 'Xiaong' in their name."
Han Jianye nodded, his eyes more determined: "Then the problem may be with your parents. If this 'younger brother' is a business partner of your company, you naturally don't know him. Moreover, it is also possible that the 'younger brother' was instructed by someone, and your brother was just a target chosen by the kidnappers."
