Chapter 518 Kidnapping?

I spent two hours playing cards with the two little girls. None of them had any particular desire to win money, so after playing for a while, they just felt that it was just that.

It was getting late, so the three of them went home.

Xia Zhizhi returned to Repulse Bay. As soon as she got out of the car, Li Mingyan came to greet her anxiously.

This child usually stays in the kitchen most of the time, immersed in studying all kinds of delicious food, and rarely waits at the door.

Come to think of it, this seems to be the first time.

There must be something wrong when something is out of the ordinary, especially since it is almost one o'clock in the middle of the night. Normally at this time, Li Mingyan and Bai Yunyun would have gone to bed long ago. They are not night owls, and unless there are special circumstances, their daily routines are quite regular.

Xia Zhizhi was a little surprised and asked, "What's going on?"

Li Mingyan's face was filled with fear: "Sister Zhizhi, Yunyun has been kidnapped. Someone called our house!"

The two little girls used to be called Xia Zhizhi and Miss Xia, but later they followed everyone in calling her Ms. Xia. They lived under the same roof and had become very familiar with each other.

In order to satisfy her own bad taste, Xia Zhizhi dressed up the two little girls as human dolls and occasionally took them out to play. She felt it was a bit strange to call them "Dong" all the time, so since they were not very old, she let them call her "Sister".

When the two of them were outside, they still called her Director Xia or Miss Xia, but at home they were used to calling her Sister.

“……!?”

Xia Zhizhi was a little confused when she heard what Li Mingyan said: "Who? Why did you kidnap Yunyun? For her monthly salary of 1,200 yuan?"

Bai Yunyun's salary is considered good in Hong Kong. Xia Zhizhi takes care of all her food, clothing and other expenses. The girl has no other needs to spend money, so she must have saved some money.

But it's just 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. Is it worth going to such great lengths to kidnap her?

"Yes." Li Mingyan nodded affirmatively: "They called and asked you to prepare 300,000 yuan, otherwise they will cancel the vote. They said they will call again at nine o'clock tomorrow morning..."

Li Mingyan's tone was a bit harsh. She also felt that tying up employees and asking the boss for money was a bit ridiculous, but she had a good relationship with Bai Yunyun, so she was naturally worried about her young partner.

Xia Zhizhi: ...

I don't know why, it's kind of funny.

Xia Zhizhi knew how Li Mingyan felt, so she patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, "Okay, I understand. I'll take care of it. Go and have a rest. Don't worry."

Li Mingyan was still worried, but Xia Zhizhi had already gone upstairs to take a shower and go to bed.

Li Mingyan had no choice but to return to her room and toss and turn on her bed.

Thinking about how long it would take to earn the ransom based on Bai Yunyun's salary, Sister Zhizhi said that as long as they worked hard, they would get a raise in the future, and she could also give Yunyun a little bit, so it shouldn't be too difficult for the two of them to pay it back together.

The little girl lay in bed and tossed for half the night before she fell into a drowsy sleep.

Xia Zhizhi was quite carefree and slept till dawn.

It’s not that she doesn’t worry about the little girl. Since she’s asking for money, she can just give her money to redeem herself. It’s not a big problem.

Thinking that the kidnapper said he would call her today, Xia Zhizhi got up at 8:30 instead of staying in bed.

After washing up and just sitting at the dining table, the phone rang.

Li Mingyan's eyes were red from staying up late. He stared at the phone and clenched his fists tightly.

Xia Zhizhi put down her chopsticks, walked slowly to the phone, and picked up the phone: "Hello, who is this?"

A rather rough male voice came from the other end: "Ms. Xia, right? I have your sister. Is the money ready?"

What?

It seems there is a misunderstanding.

Xia Zhizhi raised her eyebrows and said without further explanation, "Well, I'm ready. Tell me the address."

She was too straightforward, and the kidnapper thought that his offer was too little. He paused and said, "I've changed my mind. I want 500,000 now!"

Xia Zhizhi was very happy: "Okay, okay, guarantee the safety of the hostages, five hundred thousand is five hundred thousand."

The kidnapper added: "Be sensible. If you don't want anything to happen to your sister, don't call the police."

Xia Zhizhi continued to nod: "Okay, okay, don't worry, tell me the address."

The kidnappers reported the address of an abandoned factory: "Put the money in the container behind this factory before 9 o'clock at night. After receiving the money, we will release you. Don't play tricks, understand!"

"Well, okay." Xia Zhizhi's tone was calm, and she didn't sound angry or nervous. "Anything else?"

Kidnappers...

He always felt something was strange and suspected that he was missing something.

Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, Xia Zhizhi didn't talk any more: "Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up."

Kidnappers...

Xia Zhizhi hung up the phone, sat back at the dining table, picked up her chopsticks, and prepared to continue eating breakfast. After a moment's thought, she said to Li Mingyan, "Pack some food and I'll take it to Yunyun later. I guess she hasn't eaten anything in the past two days, so she must be very hungry."

Li Mingyan was a little girl, and it was the first time she met such a person. She was anxious, panicked and worried, but she didn't know where to put her energy. She could only worry. When she heard Xia Zhizhi say this, she hurried to the kitchen and packed food for Bai Yunyun in a lunch box.

After Xia Zhizhi finished her breakfast, she received a call from Ah Ju, and then went out with a crowd of people following her.

As for ransom, I am definitely not prepared for that.

After all, her money didn't come from the wind.

Even if it was blown here by a strong wind, it can't be given to others for nothing.

What's more, those people had malicious intentions towards Xia Zhizhi.

Xia Zhizhi thought about it and understood that those people were coming for her, but she was usually surrounded by people when she went out, so the other party had no chance to find her.

As for Ah Ju, forget it.

For some reason, the other party mistakenly thought Bai Yunyun was her relative.

Therefore, Bai Yunyun, who often went out alone to help Xia Zhizhi run errands, was unfortunately affected.

These people have little professionalism and their anti-detection awareness is very average.

They called Xia Zhizhi from a public telephone booth.

Last night, Xia Zhizhi asked Ah Ju to check the location of the telephone booth from which the incoming call came. She estimated that the gang was most likely hanging around there.

Sure enough, although they changed the telephone booth today, it was still quite close to the previous one.

Ah Ju was strolling around and spotted the suspicious person very easily. After all, normal people who wanted to make a phone call would go straight to the phone booth without looking around.

The kind of person who looks around everywhere knows there is a problem without even thinking, and he always finds it right away.

Ah Ju was far away, but when he heard what they said on the phone, he knew he had run away.

After the man finished the call, Ah Ju followed them for a while and quickly found out their background.

They made the call from a telephone booth in Dapu Town and hid the person in the abandoned quarry in Tai Mo Shan.

After Xia Zhizhi agreed to pay the ransom, he sent two people to the abandoned factory that Xia Zhizhi had mentioned before.

The entire itinerary is in that area.
