Overjoyed, Li Anran swallowed hard: "Ten, ten thousand."
"so much?"
Gu Yao's surprised voice came from the other end: "Don't laugh, but I'm broke. I can afford ten or eight thousand, but a hundred thousand..."
"No, it's nothing. I was being presumptuous. Okay, I'll hang up now. Sorry to bother you."
"Don't hang up yet! There are other ways."
Hearing Gu Yao's voice faintly, Li Anran quickly put the phone back to her ear.
"Here's a phone number for you. Call this number."
"Okay! Thank you, Attorney Gu!" Li Anran was so excited that her whole body trembled.
After hanging up the phone, I received a WeChat message from Gu Yao.
It was a name called Xu Wanquan, and a phone number.
Li Anran didn't delay and called immediately.
Soon, a woman's sweet voice came from the other end: "Hello, Mr. Xu is not available to answer the phone right now. Please leave your contact information and he will call you back later."
Li Anran's excitement plummeted once again.
But he didn't want to give up, and said, "Attorney Gu Yao asked me to come and see President Xu, thank you..."
Before he could finish speaking, a rough, gruff voice came from the other end.
"What did Attorney Gu ask you to see me about?"
The sudden change in style almost caught Li Anran off guard.
"It's like this, I need..."
After briefly explaining the situation, the man's voice rang out again: "Oh, no problem. Since it was Attorney Gu who asked you to contact me, then I have to take care of this."
But brother, we have our rules in this business. Even if you're Lawyer Gu's friend, you still have to follow the rules.
Li Anran quickly replied, "Of course. An IOU will definitely be written."
"Hey! The IOU is a small matter, but what are you going to use as collateral? Brother, don't get me wrong, I don't mean to say I'm afraid you won't be able to pay it back."
But there are rules, and nothing can be accomplished without them! As for the collateral, a car won't do; real estate is the best option. Don't worry, it's just for show.
As for the interest... since you're Lawyer Gu's friend, I'll calculate it for you based on bank interest rates. Is that alright with you?
After thinking about it, Li Anran finally agreed.
Then they used the villa where they stayed as collateral.
He had originally considered mortgaging the house at the bank.
However, large loans involve a series of issues such as property appraisal, making it impossible to get the money now.
Besides, he has to pay back the money he borrows from anyone, so it makes no difference to him.
It has to be said that Attorney Gu's reputation is really useful.
Upon hearing that he needed the money urgently, the other party immediately agreed to transfer the funds to him right away, guaranteeing that he would receive it within ten minutes.
He also said that he could come to his home to handle the mortgage procedures when he was less busy.
So, eight minutes later, he withdrew 100,000 yuan in cash from the bank.
They finally arrived at the transaction location within the agreed time.
Just like last time, the other party called him at the appointed time and asked him to put the money in a designated place.
Having learned from the previous experience, I was able to complete the task smoothly this time.
Back in his car, he couldn't resist watching the videos the other person had sent him.
Seeing Liao Nanxing and Xu Xiuzhen looking so disheveled in the video made him feel much better.
After resting for a while, I drove back to the hospital.
Next, all he had to do was take good care of Xiaobao for Mumu and wait quietly for good news.
If all goes well, he should get the results he wants as early as today, or at the latest tomorrow.
Upon arriving at the hospital, he first discussed Xiao Bao's condition with the doctor.
When I returned to the ward, the aunt was reading to Xiaobao.
Xiao Bao hugged his beloved plush toy and closed his eyes.
It looks like she's already asleep.
However, even when the aunt saw him, she didn't stop.
He nodded at him and continued speaking very seriously.
Her gentle and versatile voice brought the various characters in the story to life.
It's no exaggeration to say that if you add background music, it would be a meticulously crafted audio story.
Li Anran sat down on the sofa and habitually took out her phone to browse through the pages.
It has to be said that the waiting process was really tough.
He would occasionally glance at the time, almost unconsciously.
They waited and waited until it got dark.
Finally, at 9:43 p.m., Li Anran's phone rang.
WeChat!
After seeing the video flash across the screen, Li Anran jumped up from the sofa in a flash.
It's here!
I clicked on it, and sure enough, it was a new video sent by the other party.
He hurriedly grabbed his Bluetooth headset and ran to the balcony.
Double-click... screen redirects.
The video begins with a dark, enclosed space in the background.
In the middle, a person with their head tilted to one side is tied to a chair, with nothing around them.
Suddenly, the person in the chair stirred.
He first slowly straightened his head, then struggled to rise...
"Let me go! Who are you? What do you want? Don't you know this is kidnapping! It's illegal!"
That voice... it's Zhao Tinghai!
Li Anran stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
These people actually kidnapped Zhao Tinghai in broad daylight!
In the video, Zhao Tinghai's voice can be heard again: "As long as you let me go, I will forgive and forget what happened tonight!"
However, there was no response from the surroundings, and the surroundings were as peaceful as if they were isolated from the world.
Zhao Tinghai panicked and struggled violently, making the chair thud.
"Let me go! You lunatics! What do you want? Do you want money? Just tell me how much! I..."
Bang!
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Tinghai struggled so violently that he fell to the ground, chair and all.
Just then, another voice came through the video.
Li Anran could clearly distinguish that the speaker was the same voice that had appeared in both Liao Nanxing's and Xu Xiuzhen's videos.
"Dean Zhao, don't be nervous. We brought you here just to find out the results of Su Mu's mental evaluation."
Upon hearing this, Li Anran even became careful with her breathing.
In the video, Zhao Tinghai suddenly went silent.
After a while, Zhao Tinghai suddenly said, "You were sent by the man surnamed Li, right?"
"Since Dean Zhao already knows, why ask any more questions?"
"Hahahaha..." Zhao Tinghai suddenly laughed: "I underestimated him! I really regret not calling the police this morning!"
"You, surnamed Li! If you have the guts, then kill me! Otherwise, as long as I have a breath left, I will send you to prison!"
"Dean Zhao is joking. How could we kill you? We just want to prove that we can bring you here, and we can also take your child somewhere else."
Justice is important, but surely it's not as important as your child's safety?
"You...you dare!"
"We've already done it, so what's there to be afraid of?"
As he finished speaking, Zhao Tinghai fell silent again.
