Chapter 702: The End of the Road
The driver and kidnapper were very angry: "How could the mountain be closed?"
"Boss, the mountain is indeed closed. No one is allowed to enter."
"Did you tell me the reason for closing the mountain?"
"It seems that a hiking group organized by fellow hikers disappeared in the mountains, and now they are organizing a search."
When Lu Ning heard this, her heart beat faster.
Is he here?
Yes, if there hadn't been a problem with the van, they would have already entered the mountains by now.
But because Ye Ying deliberately made things difficult for this group of people, the vehicle had problems and broke down, delaying them all the way, so they had to walk behind Ji Chiqian.
Lu Ning was suddenly at a loss for words. Who would have thought that they hadn't even entered the mountain?
"Boss, what should we do now? Should we try another route?"
Lu Ning looked over and said, "I think we can wait for two days. Generally speaking, the search and rescue operation won't last long. After all, we can't keep the mountain closed forever."
The kidnapper's driver looked at Lu Ning and asked, "Are you trying to delay time?"
"I'm just giving you some advice. After all, you don't know anything about the situation in our country. If you want to go somewhere else, I won't stop you, but I understand you probably don't have much money, right?"
Lu Ning saw the kidnapper's driver looking embarrassed.
She continued, "My previous proposal still stands. You can abandon your evil ways and join me. Then your current crisis will be resolved."
"Shut up, who knows if you are lying to us?"
"That's right, we are not good people either, and we don't want a good ending."
Lu Ning raised an eyebrow. "If you all want to die, why not just jump into the river? Why are you still so timid? Won't your boss send someone to pick you up?"
The kidnapper's driver said: "It's our fault. It has nothing to do with the boss."
"But your boss should have sent someone to pick you up. After all, you would have gotten a lot of money if I were here. But your boss didn't do anything. It's like he's given up on you."
Lu Ning looked at them and said, "Because of Ye Ying, you have all become worthless. You should all know clearly who your boss is."
The kidnapper's driver exchanged glances with his men, then got out of the car to discuss matters.
Lu Ning was sitting in the car, watching the kidnappers discussing outside.
It was clear that they were at the end of their rope.
But these people are not easy to deceive.
Although the kidnappers were tempted, they did not agree to let her go.
It seems we need to think of a new way.
This group of people will most likely continue to contact Ji Chiqian and ask him for the money.
Soon, Lu Ning saw the kidnapper making a phone call.
When Ji Chiqian received the call, he glanced at Gu Zifeng and asked him to track the source of the phone signal immediately.
Ji Chiqian waited for a while before speaking: "Hello."
"Ji Chiqian, are you ready with the money you prepared?"
"You can ask for money, but I need to see Lu Ning and hand over the money and the person. Otherwise, how can I be sure that you will let her go after you take the money?"
"Don't worry about that, it's our business."
Ji Chiqian continued, "I've already sent someone to contact the boss of your park. What do you think he said?"
"How do you say that?"
"I gave your boss some money, and he sold you all out. He won't send anyone to the border to pick you up. Now you have no choice."
The kidnapper's driver was shocked: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
The driver hung up the phone right after he finished speaking.
"Boss, what should we do now?"
"Have we really been abandoned? Didn't Ji Chiqian say this on purpose to sow discord?"
The kidnapper's driver hesitated. "But you all know the boss's character. We thought we could make a contribution with Ye Ying, but we got tricked."
"So what should we do now? Is it really time to surrender to them?"
"Are you mentally ill? That woman just wanted us to let her go. Do you really believe that?"
The kidnapper's driver got back into the car and looked at Lu Ning: "Let's make a deal."
"Have you figured it out?"
"We won't follow you. Forget it. We're not fools."
Lu Ning looked over and asked, "What are your conditions?"
"Give us some money, it doesn't need to be that much, and we'll let you go after we get the money."
Lu Ning looked at the kidnappers. Why did they suddenly change their minds?
Could it be that Ji Chiqian said something?
It should be.
Lu Ning said, "That's easy. It's not a big problem. After all, we have money."
"Miss Lu, I'm sorry."
The kidnapper simply used tape to seal her mouth and then put a black hood over her head.
Lu Ning was a little worried. What did these people want to do?
Soon, the kidnappers got out of the car.
Lu Ning couldn't hear any footsteps. Could it be that this group of people had left?
——
After Ji Chiqian hung up the phone, he looked directly at Gu Zifeng and asked, "Have you found the source of the signal?"
"We found out. They are nearby. This means they did go into the mountains."
Ji Chiqian pursed his lips and said, "Then we'll look for them. As long as we close the mountain, we'll definitely find them. They won't be able to hold on for long."
Ji Mo thought for a moment and said, "That's not right. The signal in the mountains isn't very good. I had a few friends go hiking in the mountains before, but the signal was bad and they almost got lost. How can these people still make a phone call?"
Gu Zifeng nodded. "That's true. The people we sent into the mountains all used radios and brought base stations with them because we were worried about the lack of signal. Could it be that they haven't gone far yet?"
Ji Chiqian thought about it, and then said: "That makes sense. The other party probably knew about the mountain closure, so they called."
At this time, the phone rang again.
Ji Chiqian took a look and raised his hand again: "The phone call came in. All departments should pay attention. This time we must locate it accurately."
Ji Chiqian answered the phone again: "Hello."
"Mr. Ji, we've decided. You give us 50 million in cash. One hand for the money, the other for the people."
Ji Chiqian frowned. Did these people figure it out so quickly?
Why does it feel like something is not right?
Ji Chiqian said: "Okay, where do we trade?"
"You've blocked the mountain, right? Have your people evacuate immediately. I'll give you the transaction address at 8 p.m."
Ji Chiqian frowned: "Impossible, if I evacuate the people, what will you do if you sneak into the mountain? No, you can't get in?"
Could it be that they arrived too early?
"Mr. Ji, even if we didn't go in, your girlfriend's life could be taken at any time. You'd better do what I say."
Ji Chiqian's hands slowly closed: "Okay, I agree to your terms."
"Very good, no tricks, we are just looking for money. As long as we take the money, we will leave. I hope Mr. Ji will not stop us from leaving."
"But I want to see Lu Ning, otherwise I won't give you the money. The border is completely blocked, and you can't get out."
"You'll see her tonight at eight o'clock."
The kidnapper hung up the phone after saying this.
