"Okay." The waiter said, "Please come with me." After saying that, he helped Cao Shihong carry the box, walked inside, and brought it to a dining table. He put the box aside and said, "The food will be here soon, please wait a moment." After saying that, he nodded politely and turned around to leave.
Cao Shihong already knew at this time that these things were arranged by the kidnappers. The purpose was probably to observe whether he had anyone with him or not, or to report to the police.
Thinking of this, Cao Shihong felt even more depressed. Because these kidnappers were so powerful, his previous arrangements would probably be very difficult. But things have reached this point, so we can only take one step at a time. Thinking of this, he suddenly regretted the phone call he had just made at the grocery store. What if Cao Chunliang, with the help of He Jin, sends some people, even people from the Central District Police Station, to rush here?
Cao Shihong, who was worried, simply relaxed himself after the meal was served: Forget it, the matter is over, there is no use in thinking about it. It's better to play it by ear.
After thinking about it, he picked up the knife and fork and started to eat the meal. But his decision to replenish his food was only half the battle. Because he only ate half of it, the waiter came over and said, "Mr. Cao, I have a call for you."
Cao Shihong put down his knife and fork and asked, "Is it Mr. Fei?"
"That's right." The waiter said, "He seems to be in a hurry. Please pick him up immediately."
Cao Shihong stood up, took out a banknote and handed it to the other party, saying, "Okay, if you don't want to eat, help me carry my luggage over."
With that said, he and the waiter each carried a box to the front desk. At the other party's signal, he reached out and grabbed the receiver on the table and said, "Hello? What do you want to do?"
It was still the same dull voice, and she ignored his question and said: "In fifteen minutes, we must arrive at the Four Seasons Mall on Chunyu Street in the East District."
After one sentence, he hung up the phone directly. Not giving Cao Shihong a chance to say another word.
Listening to the busy tone on the receiver, Cao Shihong's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, and he turned around and said, "Help me carry my luggage to the car."
Cao Shihong and the waiter carried the box to the car again. After starting it, Cao Shihong immediately rushed to the East District. The result was this. After arriving in the East District, he answered the phone again and asked him to go to the Central District. After he arrived in the Central District, he made another trip to Huangshan District. In short, every time he went to a place, Cao Shihong was ready to pay a ransom for someone else, but he always let the other party lead him by the nose.
After walking again and again, Cao Shihong wandered around the city all afternoon. Sometimes I have to go out of the city, somewhere in the suburbs. As a result, when he arrived at the place, he found that the other party had left a letter for him in a conspicuous position. It was still a specified time, asking him to arrive at the specified place.
He wanted to communicate with the other party, but the other party didn't give him any time to talk nonsense. Cao Shihong even thought of using physical discomfort or threatening to trade immediately, otherwise he would cancel the payment directly if he saw no hope. But thinking that his son and daughter were in each other's hands, he could only suppress his emotions. Furthermore, the other party didn't say a word of nonsense and didn't give me any chance to communicate.
That's it, until five o'clock in the afternoon, Cao Shihong stood in front of another public phone, answered the ringing phone, and gasped: "Where are you going this time?"
"Ten miles away in the southern suburbs, there is an abandoned cement factory. We must arrive there within thirty minutes." The dull voice spoke again, "On the third floor of the factory, on the easternmost side, you will find the next instructions." Then hung up the phone again.
Cao Shihong took a breath, hung up the phone with a click, turned around and got into the car with two boxes. Go south.
He walked all the way through the Southern District, reached the outskirts of the city, and then drove out of the city. As for whether there was anyone following him at this time, he was even a little numb. In fact, his subconscious mind had already helped him judge that in this case, it was impossible for someone to be following him.
I was driving a car, and it was within the prescribed time, so the speed was naturally not slow. He ran around all over the city, and even went out of the city and was walked back and forth. In this case, who the hell can still follow? Even if Fei Murong, who was following him, had a car, he would not dare to wear it, otherwise the other party would have noticed it. Even Cao Shihong now has the idea of paying money quickly, no matter good or bad, and getting results as soon as possible.
Cao Shihong arrived at the abandoned cement factory in the suburbs on time as the other party said. Parking the car under the empty production plant, Cao Shihong hesitated for a moment and decided to go up with the money. What if you go upstairs without the money and the robber uses this time difference to pry open your car downstairs and run away with the money?
As long as one knife blows away the air in his car, even if he risks his life, he still won't be able to catch up with them. But with the money, although I am a little tired, but if the robbers are here, then I can at least say a few words to the other person and explore the truth or something if I have the money with me. . It's better than losing the money and catching yourself blind.
With his mind racing, Cao Shihong got out of the car and took a breath again. Carrying two large rattan boxes, he entered the factory with great difficulty and walked up the stairs.
Just as he entered the factory and went upstairs, in a corner of the factory, there was a place that looked like it was just the top of a pile of waste, under a torn linoleum full of debris. There were two people looking through the gap between the linoleum and the waste below, looking in the direction of Cao Shihong's car.
Sheng Jing whispered: "Well, he went up with the money."
"Yeah." Mi Zhijian next to him said, "I don't need to go to all this trouble. It's the same as just grabbing him and taking the money away."
"Hehe." Sheng Jing said: "We are kidnappers, you forgot. And the setting is that the kidnappers have means and wisdom, how can we act recklessly."
Mi Zhijian said, "I know, just to put it bluntly, it's normal for me to complain about this environment."
Sheng Jing responded in a low voice and said, "Yes, it's normal."
"It's almost there." Mi Zhijian said, "We should be on the second floor. We are heading to the third floor. Let's go to the east side."
Sheng Jing said: "Well, Sister Yu didn't send a signal, which means there is no one following this old boy. Let's go."
After saying that, the two people carefully lifted off the tattered linoleum cover. Stick to the wall and go to the east side.
By the way, although Cao Shihong was less than sixty, carrying two large rattan boxes upstairs, he really couldn't keep up with the physical strength. After reaching the second floor, I held my breath and finally made it to the top of the third floor. I was so tired that I bent over and leaned on my knees...
