Lu Jing gradually regained his senses in the face of Zhou Qian's pleas, and his hands that were tightly strangling Lu Jianhong's neck loosened little by little.
After getting a break, Lu Jianhong collapsed on the ground, holding his neck and gasping for breath.
Lu Jing seemed to have lost all his strength. He staggered two steps and knelt beside the box on the ground. Zhou Qian also squatted down with him and hugged him tightly in his arms.
Lu Jing buried his head deeply, staring at the box in front of him without blinking. Although he did not shed tears, he was filled with a heavy sense of sadness.
Zhou Qian could only comfort him with kisses, kissing his forehead, eyes, nose, one by one, kissing him non-stop.
"It's okay, it's okay, Lu Jing..." Zhou Qian comforted him in a low voice.
Lu Jing remained silent. Perhaps because he was too sad or injured by Lu Jianhong's kick, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Lu Jing..." Zhou Qian was so frightened that his face turned pale. He held his face and asked nervously, "What's wrong with you? What happened to you?"
Lu Jing seemed to be in great pain and finally fainted in Zhou Qian's arms.
"Lu Jing..."
Zhou Qian frantically took out his cell phone to call the emergency number, but suddenly he felt a heavy sensation on the back of his neck and fainted the next second.
…
When Lu Jing woke up, he was already in the hospital. He opened his eyes and saw Maotou and Dapang guarding his bedside.
Maotou saw him wake up and stood up excitedly, "Brother Jing, are you awake?"
Lu Jing glanced around the ward, but didn't see Zhou Qian. He frowned slightly, "Who brought me here?"
"The police found you and contacted us," said Maotou.
"Where's Zhou Qian?"
"Sister-in-law?" Maotou and Dapang looked at each other and shook their heads. "We didn't see the sister-in-law."
Lu Jing's heart tightened, "Where's my phone? Bring it over."
Maotou handed the phone to him from the bedside table. Lu Jing took it and called Zhou Qian, but the phone was turned off.
"Brother Jing, what happened?" Maotou saw that he looked nervous and worried that something had happened.
"Did anyone call while I was unconscious?"
Maotou shook his head, "No."
Lu Jing didn't say anything else, but just seemed to be thinking about something.
"Brother Jing, don't worry. Maybe my sister-in-law's cell phone is out of battery. I'll go to her place now to check on her." Maotou said as he stood up and was about to leave.
"No need." Lu Jing stopped him.
There is only one possibility why Zhou Qian didn't send him to the hospital.
At this moment, Lu Jing's cell phone suddenly rang. He picked it up quickly and a string of garbled characters appeared on the screen.
Lu Jing looked at the string of garbled characters, curled the corners of his lips coldly, and then put the phone to his ear.
"Lu Jing, if you want to rescue your woman, prepare five million US dollars and a speedboat to redeem her by this time tomorrow."
Lu Jing snorted coldly, "Do you think I printed the US dollars?"
"Then prepare 30 million in cash and a speedboat. Meet at the North Shore Pier at 7:00 PM tomorrow. If you're one minute late, I'll chop off one of your woman's fingers. If you're two minutes late, I'll chop off two of her fingers..."
"Also, don't call the police, or they'll collect your woman's body."
After the call was hung up, Lu Jing held the phone in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.
Maotou and Dapang looked at each other. Although they didn't hear everything clearly on the phone, they got the general idea.
Seeing Lu Jing not speaking, the two of them felt uneasy. Maotou couldn't help but ask, "Brother Jing, is there something wrong with my sister-in-law?"
Lu Jing was silent for a moment before speaking, "Go ask the mustache guy to prepare some more cash, and have someone prepare a speedboat."
Maotou nodded and said, "I'll get ready right away."
…
The next day, Lu Jing appeared at the North Shore Pier on time.
He didn't even bring anyone with him. He drove the oversized commercial vehicle alone, carrying two oversized suitcases. People who didn't know him thought he was traveling.
It was already dark, and the sea surface dotted with sparks under the drizzling rain. There were not many ships coming and going at the dock, and only a few people were hurrying by.
Lu Jing sat in the car and lit a cigarette. Halfway through smoking, he raised his wrist to check the time. It was already more than fifteen minutes past seven o'clock.
He lost his eyes, opened the car door and got out.
Standing on the road and looking at both ends, there were no vehicles passing by.
Lu Jing patiently smoked another cigarette on the side of the road. After finishing the cigarette, there was still no news, so he prepared to get in the car and leave.
However, at this moment, his cell phone finally rang.
He picked up the phone and put it to his ear, without saying a word, waiting for the other party to speak.
"Why don't I see any yachts?"
"Five hundred meters downstream."
"Then you deliver the things to the yacht now."
Lu Jing's breath sank. "Don't challenge my patience again. If I don't see you when I get there, don't even think about seeing you tonight."
"Don't worry, we are more anxious than you."
Lu Jing hung up the phone, got back into the car, and drove 500 meters downstream.
In the darkness, he could see a commercial vehicle parked not far from him.
Lu Jing drove the car over, stopped it, and got out.
After the people in the car opposite confirmed that he was alone, several strong men jumped out of the car one after another.
"Where's the stuff?" asked the person on the other side.
Lu Jing took the trunk and let them do it themselves.
Two strong men unloaded the boxes from the car. Seeing that there were only two boxes, they asked dissatisfiedly, "Why is there only so little?"
"That's all the cash I have, and some gold bars are on the speedboat."
The two strong men looked at each other with understanding, opened the box and checked it. After making sure there was no problem, they moved the box into the car.
