Chapter 90: Life for Life
Jiang Xu didn't know where he was being held.
It seems to be a basement.
Her eyes were covered and her mouth was silent.
All she knew was that they had been driving for a long time, so long that the bumpy ride made her feel nauseous.
After the car stopped, she was taken to a building, down a flight of stairs, and locked up.
She sat against the wall with her hands tied behind her back.
His fingertips lightly touched the ground.
Rough, cold and hard.
It looks like a cement floor.
The air was filled with a damp and rotten smell that had not been cleaned or ventilated for a long time.
She asked who those people were and why they kidnapped her.
They just shut her up.
As the car stopped, she tried to listen to her surroundings.
There was a noise in the distance and the sound of music playing.
Jiang Xu realized that the place she was in might not be desolate, and might even be a very busy street.
And she felt that the singing was very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.
There were also voices from the loudspeakers soliciting customers, hawking dried tofu, braised dishes...
She also smelled a faint stench of decay, like the smell coming from a sewer, a smell hidden deep in her memory.
In silence, she recalled these elements over and over again.
suddenly.
A bright flash of lightning flashed through my mind.
She remembered.
Upstairs, in a luxuriously decorated suite, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie walked in.
The kidnappers immediately stood up and bowed.
"Mr. Wu, we have already kidnapped the person you wanted. He is in the basement."
Wu Haoxin sat down on the leather sofa and glanced at the gold watch on his wrist: "Well, call He Yanting in an hour."
The subordinate next to him laughed and said, "He Yanting must be as anxious as a headless fly right now, right?"
Wu Haoxin lit a cigar, crossed his legs and said proudly, "No matter how cunning he is, he will never find this place. Even if he does, he won't be able to move an inch here."
Shengyu Group.
The atmosphere in the president's office was getting lower and lower.
Gao Cheng hurried in to report: "We've checked all the nearby surveillance cameras. They're clearly well-prepared, and we don't have any useful clues."
He Yanting closed his eyes, and his deep eyebrows looked even more fierce.
He tapped his knee with his long fingers and said, "Tell Xiao Laowu to prepare. If he can't find it in half an hour, tell him to go find it at all costs."
As he spoke, he slowly opened his eyes, his dark, narrow eyes flashing with a cold light.
"Let him remember it at all costs."
Gao Cheng was surprised: "Xiao Laowu is the weapon you have been hiding deep down. If you let him go looking for him at all costs, he will be easily exposed. Wouldn't all the hard work you have put in over the years be in vain?"
He Yanting looked at him coldly: "Remember, don't even mention Xiao Laowu. If necessary, you can use me to exchange for Jiang Xu."
Gao Cheng looked like he was struck by lightning.
He knew that Mr. He had dated Jiang Xu before, but he was not sure what the circumstances were at that time.
All I know is that in the past few years, Mr. He has been very cold towards her.
At one point, he and everyone around Mr. He thought that Mr. He didn't like or even hated Jiang Xu.
But many things happened recently, which made him change his mind.
He could see that Mr. He cared a lot about Jiang Xu.
I thought this was unexpected enough.
But it was not until this moment that he clearly realized the position of Jiang Xu in President He's heart.
You can exchange your life for another's.
Gao Cheng couldn't understand the depth of this emotion, but he was very clear about one thing.
If I succeed in rescuing Jiang Xu, I will definitely treat her as my ancestor in the future.
But what if something happened to Jiang Xu.
He didn't dare to imagine what Mr. He would do.
Time passed slowly, and every second seemed as long as a century to He Yanting.
Xiao Laowu has already started looking for people.
Beijing is such a big city that looking for someone who is deliberately hidden is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But let alone looking for a needle in a haystack, He Yanting would not give up even if it was just a grain of sand in the ocean.
The cell phone suddenly rang.
He picked it up immediately and found it was an unfamiliar number.
"tracking number."
He instructed Gao Cheng to wait for the other party to set up the call, and then he pressed the answer button.
"Mr. He, are you looking for your wife?"
A man's provocative voice came from the other side.
He Yanting was not surprised at all and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want?"
"Haha, it's good to talk to smart people. Mr. He is so smart, doesn't he know what we want?"
The man laughed.
He Yanting said calmly, "Let Wu Haoxin answer the phone. I'll only talk to him."
The phone was passed around, and Wu Haoxin's voice came over: "Yanting, you are indeed smart. Smart people should do smart things. Your wife is in my hands, I don't think you will do anything stupid."
He Yanting frowned: "Tell me, what do you want."
Wu Haoxin said, "Drop the charges against me. In addition, I want 30% of Shengyu Group's shares."
Gao Cheng was stunned.
What a bold dream!
He Yanting didn't say anything, only said: "I need to talk to Jiang Xu, otherwise, everything is off the table."
"Okay, I'll satisfy you."
Wu Haoxin handed the phone to his subordinate.
There was a noise coming from the phone, followed by the faint sound of footsteps walking up the stairs, and then the creaking sound of a door opening.
He Yanting's breathing became very light.
"Mrs. He, Mr. He wants to talk to you. You should know what to say. After all, we don't want to hurt you."
The other party threatened with a grin.
Jiang Xu took the phone, and the next second, her voice came out: "Hello, He Yanting."
This sound almost broke He Yanting's heart.
Her voice was pleasant and clear. She pretended to be calm at the moment, but the trembling in her voice betrayed her nervousness and fear.
He Yanting's Adam's apple rolled slightly: "Ruanruan, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
"No." Jiang Xu replied.
He Yanting didn't know what to say for a moment and just said "hmm" softly.
He wanted to say, don't be afraid, I will definitely save you.
But he couldn't even protect her, so what right did he have to make such a guarantee?
"He Yanting."
Jiang Xu suddenly called out to him, "I had an appointment with Chi Xiaoli for dinner. Tell her I can't go and tell her not to wait for me. Otherwise, she'll cry and make a scene in the pool hall like last time. Be careful not to get beaten up."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people on the other side said impatiently: "Enough, now you still have the mind to care about others!"
The man said to He Yanting, "Mr. He, your wife is fine now, but if you don't do what Mr. Wu asks, she won't be well soon."
He Yanting said, "The equity transfer will take time. I need to draft the contract first."
The man smiled and said, "Mr. He is very generous. I will be waiting for your good news."
The phone was hung up.
He Yanting frowned and fell into deep thought.
Gao Cheng asked cautiously, "Do you really want to transfer your shares?"
He Yanting raised his eyes to look at him: "Ruanruan was originally going to come back for dinner, she didn't even ask Chi Xiaoli out."
Gao Cheng was stunned. "Why did she lie?"
He Yanting narrowed his eyes, "She is sending me a message."
"information?"
Gao Cheng was confused. Jiang Xu's words just now sounded like casual chat. What kind of information could they contain?
After pondering for a moment, He Yanting repeated thoughtfully: "Chi Xiaoli, in the billiard hall, making a big noise, and being beaten..."
Suddenly, he thought of something.
The pupils suddenly shrank.
The whole person stood up suddenly.
"So there she is."
Gao Cheng quickly asked: "Where is it?"
He Yanting uttered two words solemnly: "Xiting."
