In a daze, Chen Ze felt difficulty breathing. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw that his hands and feet were tied up.
Looking at the three burly men in front of him, he didn't recognize them. Only one of the tattooed men looked somewhat familiar, but he didn't know his name. He wanted to ask who the other man was, but he could only make muffled noises.
Chen Ze struggled and twisted his body desperately, but unfortunately it was to no avail.
Reaching the entrance on the first floor, Chen Hu opened the door a crack, peeked out, and, after confirming it was safe, went out first to open the back door of the car.
Three burly men quickly lifted him into a black SUV, and then the driver sped away.
In the car, the driver asked, "Boss, where are we taking this kid?"
Chen Hu thought for a moment and then made an arrangement: "Go to that dilapidated warehouse under the Luoxi Bridge and lock him inside first."
After a 20-minute drive, the black SUV arrived at the bottom of Luoxi Bridge. The area around the bridge consisted of old residential houses and three tin-roofed warehouses.
Chen Hu opened the warehouse in the middle, and as soon as the door opened, the driver quickly drove the car inside, afraid that others would discover that his car did not have a license plate.
Of course, he's not afraid of ordinary people, but he is afraid of the police and traffic police. If these departments see him, they will definitely question him.
After the car entered the warehouse, Chen Hu immediately closed the warehouse gate.
The warehouse had a window on each side, but they had sealed it off. Inside, there were two simple wooden beds and a table with a lot of beer bottles and cigarette butts under the table.
Chen Hu turned on the light, and the other two lifted Chen Ze out of the car and threw him carelessly on the ground, causing a cloud of dust to rise.
Chen Ze was filled with regret at this moment. He hadn't brought his bodyguard Zhao Youde back with him. If Zhao Youde had been there, this situation wouldn't have happened. But it was too late for regrets.
At this moment, Chen Hu and his two companions sat at the table, drinking beer.
“Boss, the village chief said this kid has billions, but he doesn’t look like it at all. Look at his clothes, they’re all cheap stuff, not even as expensive as my Hongxing Erke tracksuit.”
Another burly man chimed in, also thinking that Chen Ze didn't seem like a wealthy person.
Chen Hu took a sip of beer, glanced at Chen Ze, and noticed that the watch on his wrist was quite nice. So he ordered, "Go and get his watch so I can take a look."
A burly man stood up, squatted down in front of Chen Ze, and quickly took off his watch.
Then, returning to the table, Chen Hu handed the watch to his boss. He put the watch on his own wrist and nodded in satisfaction: "This watch is really nice; it should be worth some money."
The three bumpkins had no idea what this watch was; they just thought it looked nice, but they didn't know it was a prestigious Longines brand.
Chen Hu stepped forward and tore off the transparent tape from his mouth. "Chen Ze, right? We three brothers are a little short on cash lately. We heard you're worth billions, so we don't need much, just ten million will do."
When Chen Ze heard that the other party only wanted money, he decided to give them the money first. After all, ten million was just a small amount of money to him, and his life was more important than anything else.
So he said, "I can give you money, but you must promise to let me go back after you get the money."
Chen Hu patted his chest and guaranteed, "I keep my word. As long as you give us ten million, I will let you go back immediately."
"Then bring me my laptop, and I'll transfer the money to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the big man handed him a notebook and a bank card: "Transfer the money to this card."
Chen Ze rubbed his wrists, which had been tied up for more than half an hour, before he started transferring money.
The transfer was completed shortly afterward.
"Ding," Chen Hu's phone received a text message. He eagerly opened it and saw that it was a message from the bank. It read: Your account balance... followed by a long string of zeros. He couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Brothers, so many zeros! We're rich! Hahahaha..."
Chen Hu laughed heartily.
The other two grinned widely and chuckled.
After the laughter subsided, a burly man pulled Chen Hu aside and asked seriously, "Brother Hu, are we really going to let him go back?"
Chen Hu said irritably, "Didn't we promise him we'd release him once we got the money?"
“But Tiger, what if this kid goes back and calls the police? Kidnapping and extortion is a crime punishable by more than ten years in prison. He has seen the three of us before. If he calls the police, we're finished.”
Chen Hu scratched his head. "Then what do you suggest we do? Kill him?"
"Brother Tiger, we're at the bottom of Luoxi Bridge. Let's go all the way and sink him to the bottom of the Pearl River. That way, no one will know and we can spend money without worry."
Chen Hu thought for a moment, then a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. "Alright, let's do it your way."
Hearing this, Chen Ze was horrified. He hadn't expected these people to be so untrustworthy. He hurriedly shouted, "You can't do this! I promise I won't call the police!"
But the three men wouldn't listen to a word he said. They immediately taped his mouth shut with clear tape and tied his hands with rope.
Chen Ze's eyes widened, and he made terrified whimpering sounds.
Chen Hu delivered a karate chop to Chen Ze's neck, and Chen Ze immediately passed out.
A burly man went out for a walk and came back, saying, "Brother Tiger, there are still quite a few people outside. Let's carry him out later when there are fewer people."
Chen Hu nodded and quickly made arrangements: "Go outside and find a big rock, put it by the river, and once we carry it out, tie it to his leg and we can sink him into the river."
The burly man accepted the order and left.
