North of Chun'an City, late at night.
I clutched the handle of the car tightly, and the street scene outside the window flashed by like lightning. The speed pointer on the dashboard stopped at 140, but I felt that the actual speed of the car was definitely more than 140.
I closed my eyes and recalled a scene I saw when I was a child.
When I was about ten years old, I followed my grandma to attend a big fair in Mohe Town. At that time, I saw a child wearing only trousers in a large field with his hands tied behind his back and lying face down in the field. I asked Why is this guy sleeping in the field? Isn't he cold?
My breasts covered my eyes on the spot to stop me from looking. Later, more and more people were watching the excitement. I heard a man say that the child was dead, his belly had been cut open, and his heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys were all gone. This is a real thing, probably in the winter of 1991.
Opening my eyes, I said to the driver: "Master! Please hurry up!"
The driver held the steering wheel expressionlessly. He glanced at the time and frowned: "I'm going fast enough, but if I continue like this it's still too late. I have to take a shortcut."
After saying that, he suddenly slammed on the brakes, drifted in place and turned around. If it weren't for the seat belt, I would have been thrown out.
The driver turned his head and stared at the road behind him and began to reverse quickly.
The taxi crashed through the guardrail and drove directly onto the green belt. From the green belt, it pressed against the grass and rushed to the opposite road and started driving in the opposite direction.
There weren't many cars at night, but there were a few here and there. The high-beam headlights made it hard to see the road, and the driver squinted his eyes and kept honking the horn and not letting up on the accelerator.
After hiding for a few minutes, the car stopped on the side of the road like a dragon.
"Here we are, you can see the Huanhu Hotel when you cross the road. You still have two minutes to go to the toilet and pee, haha."
The driver smiled again and said: "I just ran a few red lights and asked someone to buy points. Yours is really worth tens of thousands of dollars, right? If you dare to lie to me, I will still come to you."
"It's definitely worth it! Master, walk slowly!"
I ran downstairs to the Huanhu Hotel in one breath, but Linquan Drunkard was behind me because he was walking on crutches.
I dialed the number of the kidnapper and gasped: "Hey! I'm here! What's your room number!"
"Did you bring any cash?"
"Bring it!"
"Second floor, 204."
At this time, the Linquan drunkard came up on crutches. He unscrewed the gourd and took two big gulps of wine. I whispered: "Don't be impulsive when you go up. I'll try to talk to them. These people are carrying human lives. We can solve it with money." Try to use money to solve the problem, and put the safety of the children first."
There seemed to be a hint of drunkenness in his eyes, and he nodded without saying a word.
I thought to myself, how powerful is this black medicinal wine? He had such a huge amount of food that he became drunk after just two sips.
Go upstairs, knock on the door, and enter the house.
There were a total of seven people in the room, and they were all human traffickers. They all stared at me fiercely. The one smoking was a fat man with a bald head. Brother Zhang from Fujian told me that this man's surname was Wang, and he was the one who talked to me on the road.
"Is that your last name? Where's the money? Let me see."
"My child, I have to see the child before I give you money."
"Grass!"
The bald head slammed the table: "I said I want to see the money first! You can't understand human language, can you?"
In an instant, the other six traffickers were all staring at me.
I took a deep breath, took out the plastic bag from my arms, opened it and showed them the cash.
"Haha", the fat man looked at me and smiled: "Who told you my mobile phone number?"
"No comment."
"Okay, let me ask you something. Are you a police officer?"
I said calmly: "If I were the police, you wouldn't be here now."
"That's not necessarily the case. There are a lot of undercover police officers nowadays. There was one fucking one last year. He wanted to get into our internal affairs and investigate the situation so that he could kill us all. But what do you think they did afterward?"
I said nothing with a cold face.
