Kidnapper’s Request

Lin Yi thought that House Yu would want to take revenge against him, so why did they kidnap Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu? After they defeated Uncle Fu, they should come for him! However, they didn’t do that!

After pondering for a long time, Lin Yi crossed out the possibility of the kidnappers being House Yu, and there was only Zhen Yingjun left.

Although Lin Yi didn’t know what background Zhen Yingjun had, if Zhen Yingjun was capable to seek this kind of helper, then it was possible. First, although he had grudges with Zhen Yingjun, he wasn’t the person who started it, but Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu!

The girls were the ones who made Zhen Yingjun lost face. Although Lin Yi helped them to do that, Zhen Yingjun didn’t know that! And outside the arcade, although he was the one who punished Zhen Yingjun, the person who told him to do that was Chen Yushu!

So, everything could be explained if the kidnapped was Zhen Yingjun! Lin Yi became anxious when he thought that the kidnapper might be Zhen Yingjun since he had his eyes on the girls for a long time. Would he do anything inappropriate to them?

Liu Wangli’s deduction wasn’t wrong. The kidnappers changed to a different car after finding a hidden place. Two of the same Land Rovers driving alongside was too obvious and it was easy to catch the police’s attention. In an alley without people, the men in black and Ma Zhu took Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu to an old Toyota Previa.

Previa was a business car that came into the market very early and it was a model with a stock in the market. After changing the car, they didn’t catch too much attention and blended in with the others.

The Land Rovers’ number plates were switched to real ones by people who took over them. Each was driven by one person in two different directions. No one would suspect them this way.

After they got into the car, one of the men in black called Zhen Yingjun, “Master Jun, we have the hostage and we safely changed the car!”

“Oh? Great! You’ve done well, I’ll call Chu Pengzhan now!” Zhen Yingjun heard that their plan went smoothly and immediately waved his hands excitedly, “Oh right, how did Master Ma’s side go?”

“He has done what you asked. He didn’t completely kill Li Fu. If Lin Yi wants to save him, he’ll have to use a large amount of pure energy. His ability will definitely decrease and he won’t be a threat!”

“Great, that’s great! Hurry up and come, I can’t wait!” Zhen Yingjun quickly nodded.

In order to successfully shoot Lin Yi dead, he specifically told Ma Zhu to barely spare. If Lin Yi wanted Uncle Fu to stay alive, he had to use a large amount of energy to save him!

He thought of this when Yaowang was treating him. If he used Uncle Fu’s injury to limit Lin Yi, he wouldn’t be able to survive a gunfight, no matter how skilled he was!

Zhen Yingjun also confirmed that doctors needed to use a large amount of pure energy to heal their patients from Ma Zhu. Otherwise, there was no need for him to tell Ma Zhu to leave Uncle Fu alive. It was solely for the purpose of confusing Uncle Fu, not letting him know their real purpose. If not, Ma Zhu didn’t want to bother with Uncle Fu at all!

Chu Pengzhan sat on the couch waiting for the kidnappers’ call. He felt too fidgety to calm down. Chu Pengzhan glanced at Lin Yi who was resting on the couch and suddenly stood up. He had to do something! But after standing up, he didn’t know what to do at all!

Although Lin Yi was resting with his eyes closed, he wasn’t doing nothing—he thought of methods to fight Zhen Yingjun. When Lin Yi narrowed it down to Zhen Yingjun, he thought that if they still didn’t receive a call after he regained his pure energy, he would go to House Zhen and get them out even if he had to dig underground!

As soon as Chu Pengzhan stood up, his phone suddenly rang. He quickly took out his phone and looked at the caller ID. It was a hidden number, all the numbers displayed were 0.

“Hello, I’m Chu Pengzhan?” Chu Pengzhan was almost certain that the caller was the kidnapper! After all, no ordinary people needed to hide their numbers.

“Mr. Chu, hello! It’s a pleasure to meet you! Wah!” It was a piercing voice after being processed by a voice changer. Especially the politeness he faked made Chu Pengzhan feel extremely uncomfortable.

“Who are you? What do you want?” Chu Pengzhan frowned and asked.

“It doesn’t matter who I am. What’s more important is if do you want to know where your daughter and her best friend are? I know it all, wahahaha!” The person laughed wildly.

“Did you kidnap my daughter and Shu? What do you want?” Chu Pengzhan confirmed the identity of the caller. He must be the kidnapper! Knowing this, he calmed down slightly. As long as the kidnapper was willing to contact him then it was good. Chu Pengzhan wasn’t afraid of requests—he was more afraid that they would take his daughter and disappear.

“Mr. Chu, what you said is wrong! What do you mean by I kidnapped them? I’m merely someone who knows about it!” The other side replied shamelessly, “I heard that Mr. Chu will offer a reward of 200 million to those who provide clues, is that right?”

Chu Pengzhan fumed. He obviously wanted ransom but said it was the reward?

“Yes!” Chu Pengzhan knew that he shouldn’t agitate the kidnapper right now and nodded, “Yes, I can give you 200 million! But you must make sure that my daughter and Shu are safe! If they lose even a hair, I won’t give you the money!”

Although 200 million was a lot—Chu Pengzhan’s personal asset only worth about 500 million, including shares of the company and property—it was his daughter. In the case of cash, 200 million was his limit! It looked like the person investigated him prior to this and knew that he could take this amount of money out. 200 million wasn’t a random number at all
