Zhang Shiqian was so happy because the factory was confirmed and the site was selected that he drank two more glasses of wine during dinner.
After drinking about half a pound of wine, he fell down.
As soon as he finished his meal, he fell asleep on the kang.
In the middle of the night, thirst and the ringing of the phone woke him up.
As long as his wife closed her eyes, she wouldn't wake up even if there was an earthquake or thunder. It was unrealistic to expect her to answer the phone, so he had to get up and answer it himself.
Zhang Shiqian picked up the phone with a groggy head: "Who's calling?"
At the same time, I was muttering in my heart, who the hell is this person? Calling someone in the middle of the night, is he stupid?
"Are you Zhang Shiqian?" A muffled voice came from the phone.
"I am, who are you?"
"Your son is in our hands. Prepare 100,000 yuan, or you will never see your son again in this life."
In an instant, Zhang Shiqian sobered up, broke out in a cold sweat, and understood what was going on.
The son was kidnapped.
"Who are you?" he asked subconsciously.
"Of course it's us. I told you to prepare the money and not to call the police."
"Hey, hey! Money is not a problem. Please ensure my son's safety. Where can I pay?"
"Have the money ready. We want old money, not new money. Please listen to our call at any time."
Having said that, the phone was hung up.
Zhang Shiqian held the silent phone for a long time, feeling totally lost and confused, not knowing what to do.
He just kept repeating to himself, "What should I do? What should I do?"
Suddenly I remembered that Wan Feng and the others were here, and hope rose in my heart.
After hanging up the phone, he ran to Wan Feng's room and knocked on the door.
After listening to Zhang Shiqian's description, Wan Feng did not speak for a long time. After thinking for a long time, he turned to Han Guangjia and Yang Jianguo.
"Brother Yang, Third Brother! Please express your opinions."
Yang Jianguo was the first to comment: "There's too little to say, so I can't analyze much, but judging by the kidnappers wanting old money instead of new, they seem quite experienced."
Han Guangjia disagreed. "I don't think he's an experienced criminal. He asked for 100,000 yuan, but didn't specify the denomination. If we were to prepare 100-yuan bills, they were only issued this summer. There wouldn't be any old ones, they're all new, so we can't tell from them."
Wan Feng thought about it and it made sense.
"We have no other choice but to prepare the money and wait for the call from the other party, and then call the police..."
"I can't call the police, my son's life will be in danger." Zhang Shiqian, who was in a panic, was very clear-headed.
"Does my sister-in-law know?"
Zhang Shiqian shook his head.
"Tomorrow morning, find a way to send my sister-in-law out. Don't let her get upset by this kind of thing. Is her family home far from Datan Village?"
Since Zhang Shiqian’s wife doesn’t know yet, don’t let her know, so that she won’t be frightened.
"Her parents live in a village more than 140 miles away from here. Her parents are still alive."
"Guang family! Tomorrow morning, go outside the village and use your cell phone... Do you have a signal here?"
Zhang Shiqian nodded: "It's only this year that we have a signal that can cover our area."
As Dongguan is one of the cities in the Guangzhou-Shenzhen urban cluster, it is normal for it to have mobile phone signals.
"Third brother! Tomorrow morning, go outside and use your mobile phone to call Brother Zhang's house and tell him that my sister-in-law's father or mother is critically ill and ask her to go back quickly."
Han Guangjia hesitated for a moment: "Using the excuse that their parents are critically ill is okay?"
"Why are you still bothering with this now? Let's transfer her away first, lest she get frightened and something happens to her, which would be even more unfortunate."
The matter of Zhang Shiqian’s wife was decided.
What should we study next?
"One hundred thousand yuan, ten bundles of hundred-yuan bills. This won't take up much space. Brother Zhang will prepare the money tomorrow morning."
"I have money at home. I always have over 100,000 yuan at home, ready for emergencies."
For a family like Zhang Shiqian, it doesn't seem strange to keep tens of thousands of yuan at home.
"What denomination?"
"We have hundreds and tens of dollars."
"In that case, we can only wait for the other party's call, Brother Zhang! Don't be nervous, they just want money, and it's not much. You should go to sleep. Nothing will happen with us here."
"Sleep? How can I sleep?"
Anyone who can fall asleep at this time is completely heartless.
"Do you have a map of Dalingzi Township at home?"
“Yes, yes!”
"Find it."
Zhang Shiqian went out to look for a map.
"Xiao Wan! Do you have any clues?"
"You two are former scouts, and now you're asking me for clues?"
Yang Jianguo and Han Guangjia smiled bitterly: "Too little talk, nothing can be analyzed."
"Then I'm just like you guys, I just have to wait."
I finally made it to Zhang Shiqian's house, but I encountered something like this.
In his previous life, Wan Feng had a kidnapping incident. A man in their town who used to run a coal business, and later made hundreds of thousands of dollars by buying funds during the two crazy years of the fund boom, and then went into the sea cucumber farming business, was kidnapped.
The kidnappers asked for five million.
When the case was solved, it turned out that it was people from a neighboring village who did it. These people were working in his sea cucumber pen. After kidnapping him, they hid him in a natural cave on Gaochen Mountain, the highest mountain in Wulu Township.
This was the only kidnapping case that happened to Wan Feng in his previous life.
I didn't expect to encounter such a thing so early in this life.
Wan Feng was also speechless.
Zhang Shiqian finally found a map of Dalingzi Township.
Wan Feng wanted the map of Dalingzi Township because he was afraid that the kidnapping of Zhang Chunlei was also done by someone nearby.
If it was done by someone nearby, then Zhang Chunlei might be hiding in the nearby mountains.
Anyway, there are quite a few mountains here, one connected to the other.
But now this map is just a preparation. Without any prompts, it will be of no use at all.
But Wan Feng still looked at the map carefully, prepared to handle it within the scope of Dalingzi Township in case of any emergency, so that he could have a general understanding of the terrain here.
For Zhang Shiqian, the night felt like a year, and he finally made it to dawn.
Zhang Shiqian's daughter-in-law got up very early and was busy preparing breakfast.
Han Guangjia and Yang Jianguo took the excuse of going out in the morning to breathe fresh air and exercise, and when they got outside they used their mobile phones to call Zhang Shiqian's home.
The rest is easy.
Zhang Shiqian's daughter-in-law became panic-stricken when she heard the news that her father was seriously ill.
Wan Feng asked Han Guangjia to use Zhang Shiqian's motorcycle to take Zhang Shiqian's wife back to her hometown. In the morning, there was a bus passing through Dalingzi Township to the township where his wife was.
After seeing off Zhang Shiqian's wife, all that was left was to wait for the call with peace of mind.
