"Don't get agitated, don't rush, we're coming in plain clothes! We won't alert them!" Liao Jianhai was also very agitated; this was a kidnapping case!
"Where are you now?" Liao Jianhai asked.
"I...I...I'm in the High-tech Zone."
"Go to the nearest bank to your home right now. We'll meet you there in plainclothes! If the kidnappers call, tell them you've made a reservation to withdraw money. Make sure they know you'll definitely give them the money! Not a penny less! Don't give anything away!"
"Oh, okay, okay!"
Mr. He didn't dare to delay and immediately drove off. He was so anxious that he didn't even say goodbye to Mrs. He or He Wenhua.
He dared not show the slightest sign of anything amiss in front of Old Lady He, lest she find out about this and the old lady die on the spot!
Mr. He was filled with tension and fear. His hands were shaking when he inserted the car key after getting in the car.
While driving, Mr. He was so nervous that he couldn't concentrate and almost crashed the car.
"Relax, relax, nothing can go wrong, we still need to get money to save Linlin, relax, don't rush, don't be nervous..."
Mr. He stopped the car, muttering to himself for a while before calming down and not daring to drive too fast.
If something happens to him, his daughter Linlin will be in danger too!
An hour later, Mr. He arrived at China Construction Bank, the bank with which his family had the most dealings and which was also the bank where He Wenlin took out a loan.
As soon as he entered the bank, Mr. He looked around and spotted Liao Jianhai.
Soon the bank's account manager ushered Mr. He into the VIP reception room...
...
At 10:30, Mr. He still hadn't returned to the fast food restaurant.
Lin Fei got anxious and called He's father.
Upon hearing the phone ring, Mr. He and the group of criminal police officers immediately went on high alert!
After the phone rang three times, Mr. He nervously pressed the answer button...
"Uncle, are you coming back at noon?"
Hearing Lin Fei's voice, He's father breathed a sigh of relief and said, "He won't be back at noon. You decide what to do. He might not be back this afternoon either. I have something to do."
Mr. He did not tell anyone in the family about He Wenlin's kidnapping.
Nowadays, Tang Caihong and Li Xuehua, who work at fast food restaurants, can also cook one or two simple dishes and occasionally fill in for someone.
Lin Fei didn't say anything and hung up the phone. He assumed that his father had gone to help He Wenhua.
...
At this moment, He Wenlin was blindfolded and taken to a dilapidated house.
As soon as she got out of the car, her hands and feet were tied.
He Wenlin dared not resist and cooperated fully.
"Uncle, I'm tied up now, there's no way I can run away, and I absolutely won't. Can you help me take off the hood?" He Wenlin said cautiously.
Immediately afterwards, the hood was removed.
"Thanks."
"You'd better behave yourself here. If you take the money, we'll let you go. But if you don't behave, don't blame us."
"I understand, I understand, uncle. Don't worry, I will cooperate with you honestly. Besides, my hands and feet are tied up now, so I can't run away even if I wanted to. As long as you take the money and are willing to release me, that's fine."
"It's good that you know."
After saying that, he sealed He Wenlin's mouth with tape.
Then these men locked her in the room and went next door.
Not long after, He Wenlin heard them saying something about not being able to play cards, so she guessed they were playing cards.
He Wenlin was furious. She wasn't exactly a wealthy woman, so how did she end up being kidnapped?
Could it be that he's seeking revenge?
He Wenlin thought of her father's undercover work last time. Could it be that her father went undercover and raided their hideout, so they were seeking revenge while also making money?
But it doesn't look like revenge. If someone has a vengeful mindset, they're probably going to be in trouble right now.
Or is it that the other party didn't touch her, but was actually waiting to deal with Mr. He when he paid the ransom?
He Wenlin became more and more frightened the more she thought about it.
What can we do now?
I have no idea where they brought me here.
He Wenlin glanced at her watch; it was already eleven o'clock.
He Wenlin looked around the house, then rolled to the back door and found it locked. No wonder they felt safe leaving her in the house.
She peeked out through the crack in the back door and saw a vegetable garden outside, beyond which lay the mountains.
He Wenlin couldn't tell which village this was either.
What should we do?
Are we really waiting for Mr. He to pay the ransom?
He Wenlin wasn't reluctant to spend the money; her main concern was that the other party might break their promise, take the money, and then kill the hostage. She was also worried that the other party might be after He's father.
She didn't want to sit idly by and wait for her fate, but she really had no other choice right now.
She rolled to the door connecting to the next room, listening to the sounds of the kidnappers, trying to find a chance to save herself, or at least get some clues.
The three kidnappers outside were playing cards with great enthusiasm and intensity. Every few seconds, they would say that one of them had made a mistake, how he should have played the hand, or they would curse and complain that the hand was ugly.
Just then, He Wenlin heard the phone ring.
Judging from the sound, it wasn't her mobile phone ringing; it must have been the kidnappers' phone ringing.
He Wenlin listened intently...
"Oh, as long as you're sure no one called the police. Okay, fine..."
He hung up after saying only a few words.
As long as no one calls the police...
He Wenlin pondered the sentence carefully, and the more she thought about it, the more something seemed off. How did the other party make that certainty?
Was he staking out near the fast food restaurant? Or near the rented apartment? Or was he following Mr. He?
However, this also shows that there are more than three people in this group!
