Although Zhang Chunlei was caught on the spot, Wan Feng still felt something was wrong.
"Tell me the truth, how many of you are left?"
"No...no more, just four of us." Zhang Chunlei stammered.
"Just the four of you? That person making the phone call outside is a ghost? You won't tell me? Then wait and tell the police!"
"Uncle! I said, there are two more people outside, responsible for making phone calls in the city."
"You're asking for a beating, you call me 'brother' and now 'uncle'. Am I that old? Tell me why you did this. Doesn't your father give you money?"
"Give! It's too little, not enough to spend, and he won't give me any more. My mom used to give me money when he wasn't home, but when he came back and saw me spending money recklessly, he took away my mom's financial power and only gave me a little pocket money a day."
"Haha! You're so promising, and then you come up with such a dirty trick? Aren't you afraid that the police will arrest you all?"
Zhang Chunlei scratched his head. "I didn't even think about the police. I just wanted to get some money from my dad."
"Look, when people commit crimes, they at least take all sorts of factors into consideration. You, on the other hand, didn't even consider the police. Do you really think they're fake? You just drank some horse urine and got high and started doing it. Did you come up with this dirty trick after drinking?"
"How do you know?"
What's so difficult about this? A group of people are drunk and are fearless. They can do something extraordinary at the drop of a hat.
"Come on, tell me how you're going to handle this. I'm not trying to scare you. Don't think this is a joke. This matter can be serious or minor. At the most serious level, ten years in prison for all of you is not a big deal, and the main culprit might even get twenty. Tell me, if you really go to prison, will you regret it? When you get out of prison, not only will you lose your son, but you'll also lose your grandson."
The four young men were all eighteen or nineteen years old, and were in the age of living a life of drinking and enjoying life today. They had no time to think so far ahead. It was only after Wan Feng's scare that they realized the seriousness of the situation.
"Uncle! We won't dare to do it again." Zhang Chunlei was the first to speak out.
"How about you guys?"
"We won't dare to do it again. We promise to be good people in the future."
Wan Feng chuckled, "Just a casual remark, and you're done? Whether you go to jail or become a good person in the future is entirely up to you. What others say doesn't matter. I don't care about you. Get out of here right now. When you get out, don't mention what happened today again. Take care of yourself."
“Yes, yes.”
"And once you get out, go find the other two and tell them to stop immediately and behave themselves from now on. Get out of here!"
The three young men ran away in panic.
Zhang Chunlei also wanted to run away.
"Don't run away. Come home with me and honestly admit your mistakes to your father, then follow me to the north."
Zhang Chunlei was dumbfounded: "Ah! Why should I go north with you?"
"Don't you like being in the underworld? Go experience the wildness of us northerners, and you'll know how wonderful life is in the future. You'd better not even think about running away. I'm telling you, there's a real master out there, and you can't escape even if you have eight legs. Your father asked me to teach you a lesson. I didn't want to care about your family's shit and not wiping their butts, but who made me so unlucky to encounter him? If I don't have a good time, you won't have a good time either."
Zhang Chunlei stopped running and followed Wan Feng out of the cave obediently.
As soon as I came out of the cave, I saw a young man sitting on a rock outside.
He had seen it before. He and Wan Feng came together last time.
Walking down the mountain, Wanfeng asked as we passed, "Tell me how you plan to get the money?"
"Our plan is to have my dad run two trips in vain, first to Xiaoliangshan, then to the city, and finally deliver the money here."
"Let your father run to Xiaoliangshan. You can see him at the entrance of the cave. Use this to judge whether your father really gave money."
Zhang Chunlei nodded. "The first time, he just needs to carry the bag to Muyangyan alone. We can see him from here. He will deliver the money here. We will collect the money and then I will go home."
"I knew that was the case."
"Uncle! Then how did you know I would be here?"
"Haha, do you believe me if I tell you I'm just guessing?"
Of course Zhang Chunlei didn't believe it, he was not stupid.
Even an idiot wouldn't believe that you, a stranger from another place who isn't familiar with the place, could have found him here so easily.
"I know you don't believe me. Half of it was analysis, and the other half was pure guesswork. I wasn't sure if you'd still be here before I came. When I heard the ransom was 100,000, I felt something was wrong. Considering your father's nickname back in Dalingzi, Zhang Baiwan, it doesn't seem right for the kidnappers to demand 100,000. I guess this is just their first time doing something like this. Normal kidnappers wouldn't care about asking for more now that they've kidnapped someone. Even if they don't want 1,000,000 or 800,000, they'll at least ask for 300,000 or 500,000."
"You mean we're going to be short? But that has nothing to do with me."
"At first, I didn't suspect it was you. I just suspected it was someone nearby. When I knew where Xiao Liangshan was, I became even more certain it was someone nearby. Then it suddenly occurred to me whether this matter had anything to do with you. It was such a sudden thought, an inspiration, I guess. So I thought of the people you usually hang out with, and naturally I remembered the one you asked to accompany me to Shenzhen last time. Brother Han remembered his name last time, so this morning I asked him to go to Lei Zi's house to ask, and Lei Zi's family said he hadn't been back for two or three days either."
Zhang Chunlei was still puzzled: "But you can't possibly suspect me, right?"
"You asked me, and I don't know why I suspected you. I was even certain you were nearby. There was no reason, just a hunch. You have to believe it even if you don't want to."
Zhang Chunlei was dumbfounded. Isn't this just bad luck? Did he really rely on luck?
"Okay! So even if you're sure it's me, I'm nearby. How can you be sure I'm in this cave?"
"Haha, you have to admit that you're unlucky. There was a kidnapping case in our area before, and the victim was tied up in a cave in the mountains. I then contacted your father, and your father told me there was a cave in Daling Mountain that was dug by the military. So I came here."
Zhang Chunlei fell silent, going over Wan Feng's words over and over in his head, but nothing seemed right.
"Your idea is unscientific and lacks any of Holmes's sound reasoning."
"I don't know whether it's reasonable or not, but I caught you anyway. The General Secretary always says it doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, so why do you care whether I'm reasonable or not?"
That's right, who cares whether the process is reasonable or not? Anyway, my friends and I were trapped in a cave by someone, and the key is that we haven't defeated them yet and have been taken prisoner.
"Instead of thinking about whether it's reasonable or not, you should think about how to deal with your father when you get home. You're probably going to get a beating."
"Ah? You still have to get beaten?"
"You still have to get beaten? I should beat you to death!"
Zhang Chunlei immediately turned into a sick chicken, and followed Wan Feng back to Datan Village listlessly.
