Chapter 466 The Second Letter
"Okay, then the three of us will start looking for our parents separately. There are only a few places they often go to, and we can ask the neighbors around. Although I asked everywhere just now, maybe I was in a hurry and didn't ask clearly.
I'm not sure, maybe my parents went to the market late to buy vegetables, so they were delayed there, or maybe this letter was just a joke from the children."
Fan Jianguo was panicked because something happened to his parents!
It's still kidnapping.
I've never even heard of this.
"Huihui, you stay at home. If mom and dad come back, you'll be there for them."
Fan Jianguo instructed Huihui.
Let the three people out.
They didn't dare to alarm others. What if it was a misunderstanding? It would be too embarrassing. Even if it wasn't a misunderstanding, what if they spread the news and the kidnappers knew that they had made such a big fuss? It would not be good for their parents.
The three of them thought about it again and again, and searched everywhere quietly and secretly.
But when it was dark, the three of them returned to the yard, looked at each other and shook their heads.
No!
They never found the old couple, it was as if they had disappeared.
None of the neighbors had ever seen them. Two living people actually disappeared. Now the three of them had a premonition that the old lady and the old man might have been kidnapped.
Otherwise, how to explain that they had been searching for so long and couldn’t find anyone, and the old man and the old woman were not the ones walking away.
For both of them, their social circle is just this small.
Fan Jianguo squatted on the steps, wiping his tears silently.
Jiang Laoshi and Fan Xiuying simply sat on the concrete steps. Fan Xiuying couldn't cry because she was filled with fear.
Their hearts were pounding as they worried that something might happen to their parents. This was kidnapping, and they had no experience and didn't know how to deal with it.
"Or we should call the police. The police are better than us. We don't know what to do. We don't know how to respond. They only asked for 100,000 yuan, but how do we pay it? How do we redeem the person? They didn't say anything at all."
Jiang Laoshi was relatively calm. No one had any experience with this kind of thing, so he was just trying to figure out what to do.
Fan Jianguo shook his head. "We can't call the police, brother-in-law. Didn't you see what the letter said about not calling the police? If we dare to call the police, we will be punished by the old man and the old lady."
"Yeah! You can't call the police!"
Fan Xiuying also shook her head! They were her parents, and she couldn't let anything happen to the old man and the old lady.
"What nonsense are you two talking about? If they tell us not to call the police, then we won't. If we don't, where can we find them? We don't know where the old man and the old lady are. If we call the police earlier, maybe they can help us find them. If we continue to keep it secret, we won't be able to find them.
We are helping the kidnappers. It will be hard for the police to find us.”
Jiang Laoshi disagrees.
Fan Jianguo shook his head. "Brother-in-law, that's why we can't call the police. Think about it, we don't know who the other party is. The other party didn't tell us how to pay the ransom, or even how to release the person or how to contact us.
This can only mean one thing, that the other party is hiding in the dark around us. They are watching us. If we go to the police and get discovered, they will be afraid of not asking for the ransom, and will be shot if caught by the police.
Just kill the old lady and the old man, and we will have no place to look for regrets later."
Fan Xiuying was at a loss, looking at her brother and husband, "The problem is, we don't have 100,000 yuan. Why did these people target our family? We are not a wealthy family, just an ordinary poor family. They actually asked us for 100,000 yuan. This is not a joke."
Fan Jianguo slapped his head and said with great regret.
"This is all my fault. I recently contracted a store. Everyone knows that I contracted all six stores on the street. The rent alone is several thousand yuan a year, nearly 10,000 yuan, plus the purchase of goods, etc. If someone calculates it, they will immediately figure out that I must have nearly 100,000 yuan on hand.
That’s why he had evil intentions and wanted to kidnap my parents and force me to pay the money. It’s all my fault. I was so flamboyant that I never thought that the old man and the old lady would be implicated by me.”
Fan Jianguo figured out the reason himself, and it was indeed related to this, but it was not an external thief! It was an internal thief who was targeting them.
"What should we do now? We can't just sit here and wait."
Jiang Laoshi had no choice.
My brother-in-law and his wife disagreed, and they had no idea what to do.
Huihui went home alone and discussed the matter with her mother.
She didn't expect that Fan Jianguo was so rich, with a full 100,000 yuan.
This is not ordinary wealth.
If we give this money to the old man and the old woman, what will they do in the future?
Huihui and the others also did not sleep all night.
The night passed in agony.
No one closed their eyes.
At dawn, Fan Xiuying saw a letter lying quietly in the yard.
Three people sat around the table.
Fan Xiuying looked at the envelope, stretched out her hand, but still couldn't muster up the courage to pick it up.
Fan Jianguo grabbed it and opened it.
"Very good, if you didn't call the police, then go and prepare the money. One person will take the money to the broken bridge in Luofengpo in the suburbs to pay the ransom at 8 o'clock the day after tomorrow morning."
The three of them felt a chill in their hearts.
Sure enough, someone was watching them, otherwise how would they know that they didn't call the police.
I feel so cold in my heart.
Fan Jianguo stood up and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Jiang Laoshi saw that his wife was panicking and knew that she had no idea what to do.
I could tell from my brother-in-law’s face that he was also angry.
People tend to lose their rationality when they get angry, and tend to do wrong things when they are impulsive.
The three of them together have no idea and it's easy to make mistakes.
Fan Jianguo said in a deep voice, "I'll go and raise the money! I'll take the consequences of the trouble I caused."
"Wait a minute. We have to raise money, but we can't just hand it over for no reason. Aren't you worried that you might not get the money back after giving it to someone?"
Jiang Laoshi pushed Fan Jianguo down.
Fan Jianguo grabbed his hair with both hands, "What should I do? Brother-in-law, I can't just ignore it! They are my parents, and it's because of me! If anything happens to the two old people, I..."
"Shut up!"
Jiang Laoshi slammed the table and said, the family was already in chaos, what was the point in accusing himself now?
"Call Mo Ting now and ask him to come over."
Jiang Laoshi felt that his son-in-law was more opinionated than the older guys.
At this time, one more person means more strength.
What they can't figure out, maybe Song Moting has a better solution.
Fan Jianguo's eyes lit up.
yes!
Song Mo Ting!
An hour later, Song Moting drove over.
He Aiguo also arrived with them.
When he came, Jiang Xiaoxiao was peacefully recuperating after giving birth.
The old lady held on to the glutinous rice balls tightly and Jiang Xiaoxiao had no chance to get out of bed.
Jia Shu and He Aiguo came to visit her and the children.
Hearing that they were going to the Jiang family, He Aiguo wanted to meet Jiang Lei, so he came along.
