Chapter 158 Speak Boldly
After driving for about twenty minutes, Ning Yan thought about it and still felt uneasy. He didn't dare to call Gu Jiujing, so he called Lin Fang.
I told him that I had left Shi Ming in a store in a small town in Continent M, and I had also called the police, who might have arrived by now.
Then let Lin Fang notify Gu Jiujing to go over and pick up Shi Ming, and then find the best psychologist and hypnotist to see Shi Ming, who should be able to restore his memory.
Lin Fang interrupted him before he could finish: "You said you left him at a random store when he was 8 years old?"
Ning Yan explained: "I checked it out, there's nothing wrong with that store, and the local security is also very good, so it won't happen..."
Lin Fang continued to interrupt him: "When he was two years old, he was abducted by human traffickers and sold to a couple. Later, the couple gave birth to their own child when he was five years old. From the age of five to eight, he was abandoned at least five times, intentionally or unintentionally."
“…”
"After he was abandoned, it was always the police who took him back."
Ning Yan hung up the phone immediately before he could finish.
He stepped on the brakes, reversed the car, and turned the steering wheel sharply to make a U-turn.
Just step on the accelerator to the bottom.
He only drove for ten minutes on a twenty-minute journey.
The good news is that the person is still in the store, the bad news is that Shi Ming is crying.
There were several police cars surrounding the area, so Ning Yan could only park his car at the outermost edge.
Because of his disguise, the police could not recognize him as the person who broke through the checkpoint.
Moreover, among the seven policemen, two female policemen were coaxing him, one male policeman was asking for his name, identity and other information with a pen, and the rest of the policemen were making phone calls everywhere, so no one noticed him running over madly after getting out of the car.
Ning Yan approached cautiously, disguising himself as someone who was there to buy something. While picking things on the shelves, he secretly turned back to look at Shi Ming who was being questioned by the police.
Obviously, nothing could be asked, as the 8-year-old Shi Ming could not understand foreign languages at all.
No matter what was asked, he kept silent. He was still sitting where Ning Yan left.
He had experienced such abandonment many times, so the moment he saw the police arrive and Ning Yan disappear, he was sure that he had been abandoned again.
Or abandoned in a place that was completely unfamiliar to him.
At this moment, Shi Ming's mental age is only 8 years old. He does not have the calmness and composure of Ming when he was 26 years old, nor the free and easy attitude of not caring about life and death and doing whatever he wants.
Faced with these unfamiliar faces and unfamiliar languages, his fear, panic and anxiety were all reflected on his face.
Shi Ming did not cry loudly, nor did he collapse and roar, but his eyes were frighteningly red, and his eyes were filled with tears.
Every time I raised my eyes or lowered them, tears as big as beans rolled down my cheeks.
Ning Yan's hands were shaking and his heart was trembling as he watched, and he almost knocked over the shelf. He quickly turned his head back and closed his eyes to think about how to get Shi Ming back to the car.
Over there, the female officer filming the law enforcement video saw that her colleagues couldn't get anything out of him, and seeing Shi Ming's current state, she angrily shouted in the local language, "That crazy guy must have hurt him and hit him on the head, so he doesn't remember anything now and doesn't know who he is! Look how scared he is now and how hard he's crying. He never looks like this on camera! The guy who kidnapped him is a beast!"
For the first time, the beast Ning Yan did not get angry because someone scolded him. He silently carried the selected items to the counter to check out.
At this time, Shi Ming finally saw him and his eyes widened.
Ning Yan quickly gestured to him, quietly pointed to the jeep parked outside, and gestured to go to the toilet.
Finally, he pointed at Shi Ming.
Shi Ming understood immediately, stood up, and said softly, "I need to go to the bathroom."
Fortunately, some of the police could understand simple Chinese. Since he was the one who was kidnapped and was an adult, the police only asked if he needed someone to accompany him to the toilet. After seeing him shake his head, they did not insist.
After making sure he could find the restroom, I let him go and continued to call my supervisor.
Ning Yan, holding a bunch of snacks and toys he had bought to coax Shi Ming, walked through the police and got into the jeep he had just robbed outside the city.
After a while, Shi Ming opened the passenger door and quickly got in.
As soon as the car door closed, Ning Yan didn't dare to delay and stepped on the accelerator.
Just like that, the 'kidnapper' and the 'hostage' who voluntarily got in his car, after causing chaos in the entire city, escaped once again.
Half an hour later, Gu Jiujing finally arrived by helicopter.
As expected, he came up empty-handed.
I didn't see Shi Ming, I only saw the dejected and puzzled policemen, and the body camera showing Shi Ming sitting at a small table in the store, with his head down and silent, tears falling from his eyes.
At that moment, Gu Jiujing really wanted to kill Ning Yan.
Here, three hours after the extreme escape, the black jeep stopped beside the hidden bushes by the river.
The car was dead silent, no one spoke.
Ning Yan had never been so panicked in his life. He was the strongest killer who could perform long-range sniping at a height of 100 meters without shaking his hands, but now his hands were shaking violently as he took out a cigarette from his pocket.
He tried several times with the lighter before it finally caught fire and lit the twenty-dollar Mojito cigarette in his mouth.
Ning Yan took a sip, but found that it did not relieve his current anxiety. Instead, he became even more anxious because of Shi Ming's eyes looking at him.
He remembered that Shi Mingyu, Li Linfang and the other two did not smoke, so whenever he felt like smoking, he would avoid them.
Seeing him looking at him, Ning Yan immediately put out the cigarette and extinguished it with his fingertips.
Shi Ming lowered his head and stared at his fingertips. Without saying a word, he reached out his hand, took the cigarette from his fingers, and threw it into the river.
Ning Yan was stunned for a moment, thinking that his anger had subsided, and he was delighted. He immediately prepared to strike while the iron was hot and coax the child.
As soon as he walked forward, Shi Ming turned around, got into the car, and slammed the door shut.
Ning Yan: “…”
Well, if it were so easy to calm down, then he wouldn’t be Shi Ming.
Put yourself in his shoes. If an 8-year-old boy were abandoned by someone he trusted, for example...
Ning Yan frowned and found that after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of anyone that the 8-year-old boy could trust, not a single one.
I'm so sorry, it seems he can't put himself in other people's shoes.
Ning Yan sighed, opened the car door and got in, choosing to coax her in the most hardcore way: "When we get to the Golden Triangle, I'll teach you how to use a gun, okay?"
No boy could refuse this.
Shi Ming, who was originally still angry, suddenly brightened up his eyes. He turned around and looked at him with surprise and a little bit of disbelief.
Ning Yan was afraid that if he couldn't coax her right away, it would be even harder to go back, so he quickly struck while the iron was hot and said, "I'll teach you everything I know: grappling, daggers, butterfly knives, and disguises. I'll teach you whatever you want to learn, okay?"
Shi Ming didn't say anything. He looked at him with a slightly frown, staring at his face, as if he was struggling and hesitating about something.
Ning Yan guessed that he might be embarrassed to let him teach so much, and probably wanted to bargain with him and ask if he could choose two or three favorite things.
If he frowned, he would probably quickly say that he could learn only two things.
Shi Ming is a person who knows how to be content and is not greedy at all.
"What do you want to say? It doesn't matter, just speak up, I'll satisfy you."
"you……"
"Um?"
"I've learned everything. Can you please not abandon me?" Shi Ming looked at him seriously and asked.
Ning Yan was stunned.
"You think I'm a burden, but now that I've learned all that, I won't hold you back anymore. Or you can send me to find Yu Li, and I'll stop following you once I find him, okay?"
Ning Yan looked at him without saying anything.
Shi Ming thought he would not agree, so he hesitated for a moment, then looked up and asked him, "If you really don't want to take me with you, can you please not hand me over to the police? I can find a way to go home by myself."
Ning Yan still didn't say anything. After a long while, he turned around silently.
Start the vehicle, apply the brake, and shift into gear.
The traffic roared, and he stared at the windshield in front of him. He didn't speak or move for a long time, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Just as Shi Ming turned around to fasten his seat belt, Ning Yan suddenly said, "Shi Ming, I'm sorry."
Shi Ming looked up at him.
Ning Yan also looked at him, and their eyes met in the car. He said seriously, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone. I won't do it again next time."
————
PS:
Shi Ming: Can you please not leave me behind next time?
Ning Yan: ...I really deserve to die (pointing a gun at his head)
Plans can never keep up with changes. Ning Yan was originally afraid that Gu Jiujing would cause trouble for him, so he wanted to help Shi Ming recover his memory first and then send him back. But now... it's as if he eloped with Shi Ming. Not only did he elope, but he also made a fool of Gu Jiujing...
I said a long time ago that Ning Yan is really similar to Yu Li in some aspects. When they act silly, they are like two top-notch Huskies pulling a sled and wagging their tongues across Siberia.
But when he's serious, he looks super handsome.
We should meet tomorrow.
