C16 The Heart Is like a Fierce Tiger(1)

After leaving the security room, Shi Lei and Kuan Haiping returned home.

Since the kidnappers took the initiative to contact them, the only thing left was to wait. Kidnapping was also a very risky thing. They would not drag the time too long. Shi Lei was very sure that he would receive a second call before night.

Shi Lei was also hesitating whether he should call the police, but after thinking about it for a while, he rejected it in the end.

First, if the kidnapper called again, he would probably reveal the amount of money and the location of the transfer. Once he picked up the phone with them, the initiative would fall into his hands. In the end, Shi Lei was confident in dealing with this matter. Calling the police would only cause more complications.

Secondly, it was a matter of the nature of the crime. The mastermind of this matter was Liu Haiyang. The reason he kidnapped Chen Yurou was mainly to take revenge, or to lure him into taking the bait. Asking for money was just an additional option. After confirming this premise, Shi Lei had to be careful. Once the police were discovered, Chen Yurou would be in danger.

After waiting at home for a while, Kuan Haiping said, "Sir, I will go with you. Don't think I am sick. My ancestral martial arts have not been wasted."

Shi Lei did not know if it was possible.

Kuan Haiping's skills were indeed not ordinary. Although he had not seen Kuan Haiping fight before, this could be seen from the acupuncture alone.

The muscles on this guy's body were so developed that it made people's hair stand on end. They were not big chunks of muscles. One look and you could tell that they were heavy and heavy. Instead, they were small strips of muscles that were full of tension and explosive force.

If his meridians were not damaged and he could use his inner Qi at will, he would be like a killing machine!

If he really cured his illness, Shi Lei was not sure if he could beat him. Even if the inheritance left behind by the Chen family's ancestor contained many body refining techniques, and the abnormal perception brought by absorbing the Soul Essence, he might not be able to beat him!

Shi Lei finally knew how Kuan Haiping's grandfather managed to become the personal bodyguard of the chief of the state.

But even so, Shi Lei was still very hesitant.

He did not know how fierce the kidnappers were, and he did not know what kind of weapon they had in their hands.

If they had guns, even someone as strong as Kuan Haiping would be in danger.

"Click."

At this moment, the sound of a key being unlocked could be heard from outside. The door opened and Xu Shangqin entered.

The moment they entered the room, Xu Shangqin pounced over and held Shi Lei's hand as she started to cry.

"Shi Lei, Rou has been tied up. Quickly think of a way!"

Shi Lei looked at her and asked, "Mom, how did you know? The kidnapper also called you?"

Xu Shangqin wiped her tears and said, "They called. They threatened me on the phone, saying that if I called the police, they would... cut Rou into pieces!"

"Damn it..."

Shi Lei gritted his teeth in hatred. Obviously, after the kidnapper called him, he felt that he was too calm, so he turned to Xu Shangqin.

After all, a woman was more fragile. If he threatened her, he might not dare to call the police.

But this way, he didn't know if his mother-in-law would be able to withstand this blow.

Shi Lei patted his mother-in-law's shoulder and said, "Mom, don't worry. I will definitely save Rou. She will be fine."

Xu Shangqin cried until she could not catch her breath. She nodded with tearful eyes.

Until evening, the kidnappers did not call again. Shi Lei waited anxiously.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the phone finally rang.

Shi Lei picked up the phone and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting. Mr. Shi, let's get to the point. I want 20 million. Tonight at 12 o'clock, the handover at the back door of Haitang Park will be completed."

Looking at the time on his phone, Shi Lei said, "It's already 7: 00 PM. The handover at 12: 00 PM is only 5 hours. Where do you want me to go to collect 20 million?"

"That's none of my business. Didn't you save Wu Zhentian's father? 20 million is not much to Z Group, right? You better not say that you can't lend it out. Otherwise, your wife will suffer. Tonight at 12 o'clock, bring the money and come alone! Every 10 minutes late, I will chop off one of your wife's fingers!"

Du du.

After putting down the phone, Shi Lei heaved a sigh of relief.

Luckily, the other party was in a hurry and had to hand it over tonight. Otherwise, if they dragged it out a little longer, Chen Yurou would have suffered a lot in their hands.

Furthermore, since the other party knew that he had saved Elder Wu, it meant that the mastermind behind the kidnapping was indeed Liu Haiyang, because the people who knew about this matter were all in the hospital that day.

The phone just now was on speaker mode. When Xu Shangqin heard it, she almost fainted from crying.

She grabbed Shi Lei's arm and said, "What should we do? Shi Lei, what should we do? Where are we going to get 20 million? "

Shi Lei said coldly," Mom, trust me. I won't let anything happen to Rou. "

...

At 11 PM, Shi Lei settled Xu Shangqin down and left the house an hour earlier.

When he reached the agreed back door of Asiatic Apple Park, he walked around the area and didn't find anyone.

The kidnappers were very good at choosing a location. Asiatic Apple Park was a scenic park. It closed at 8 o'clock and there were no houses around. It was cold and deserted at night.

Moreover, the area near the back door was very remote, and the whole area was an undeveloped wasteland.

But this was also good. The more careful the kidnapper was, the more relieved Shi Lei was. If there were other witnesses involved in the handover process, the kidnapper might not be able to help but tear up the ticket when he saw that the matter had been exposed.

Around 11: 40, Shi Lei saw lights approaching from afar. When he came in front, he saw clearly that it was a silver van. It was the one that had kidnapped Chen Yurou this morning.

After the car stopped, four men came down. They all looked very strong, and all of them had their faces covered. They walked over with their arms crossed.

The person in charge looked at Shi Lei and asked coldly, "Where's the money? Did you bring it?"

"I brought it." Shi Lei took out an envelope from his pocket.

The kidnapper spat and said, "Who are you fooling? Such a small envelope can hold twenty million?"

Shi Lei raised the envelope and said, "Please have some common sense. Twenty million in cash can pile up a whole house. How can I take it? Inside is a check, a check!"

The kidnapper thought that it was indeed so. He walked over a few steps and wanted to reach for the envelope.

"Wait."

Shi Lei took a step back and stared at him. "I have the money. Where is he?"

The kidnapper pouted behind him. "He's in the car. If you want to see him, follow me into the car."

Shi Lei kept sneering in his heart.

He knew that Chen Yurou was not in the car at all. The kidnapper was trying to trick him. He was afraid that once he got in the car, he would immediately be controlled and pulled away.

But it did not matter. This was the result he had been waiting for.

Shi Lei held the envelope tightly in his arms and pretended to carefully look at the van. He said nervously, "Is it really in the van? You're not lying to me, are you? I brought the money. A check of 20 million yuan, not a single cent less. You have to keep your promise and let him go after taking the money."

The kidnapper said impatiently, "We only want the money. We don't want anything else. I don't want to tear up the ticket either. Killing people won't do me any good."

Shi Lei nodded. "Then, take me to the car to take a look at my wife. I'll give you the envelope after making sure she's alright."

After saying that, he followed behind the four strong men and walked towards the van.

The two kidnappers leading the way in front looked at each other. Under their masks, a cold smile appeared on their faces at the same time.

They didn't know that behind them, Shi Lei was smiling even colder than them.
