It has been four hours since the train was stopped.
During these four hours, Tian Xue was always nervous and did not dare to sleep.
On the other hand, Xu San's attitude was very relaxed. He closed his eyes and recuperated his energy. He didn't even notice that the car was starting. Moreover, as the car shook, he even snored slightly.
Listening to the snoring, Tian Xue's anger came out.
He stretched out his hand and twisted Xu San's waist, but Xu San had no reaction.
Tian Xue was angry.
I feel that Xu San is too unreliable. Now that he has been arrested, he still dares to sleep!
I really don’t know how death is written.
After twisting it twice more, seeing that Xu San still had no response, she could only look out the window.
It was pitch black outside the window, deep and far away, like an endless abyss. If you stare at it for a long time, you will fall into it.
Turning to look ahead, it was also dark. Different from the side, there was a bunch of dim car lights on the road ahead, drifting up and down.
The road is very bumpy!
When encountering a big hole, he was able to cushion the underweight Tian Xue.
Xu San stretched out his hand to stop Tian Xue, and then said to the driver in front, "The road is really difficult!"
The driver didn't reply and continued driving.
"The road is really hard! It would be great if the seat belt was a three-point one!" Xu San used Japanese this time.
"Three o'clock?" The driver finally replied, also in Japanese.
Hearing Japanese, Tian Xue immediately widened his eyes, then turned to stare at Xu San.
"Shoulders and waist! This kind of seat belt is more stable and safer than the current one." Xu San said unhurriedly.
The driver nodded and did not answer any more, but continued to drive intently.
"It's tiring to drive all night. How about we switch? Mr. driver, you go and take a rest." Xu San suggested.
"Driving is my job, so I don't dare bother you to do it for me," the driver said.
Being called Your Excellency, it seems that old boy Yamamoto already knows.
If so, then he and Tian Xue are safe for the time being.
But where do you want me to take it?
It doesn't matter whether you ask or not. I don't have a walkie-talkie with me now, so even if I know the destination, there will be no notification.
"How long until we reach our destination?"
"Also." The driver hesitated for a moment, but still did not tell the specific time. "I don't know. It's dark and the road is slippery. If you are tired, you can take a nap. I will drive slower."
"No need! Just go at normal speed!" Xu San said and closed his eyes again.
Tian Xue blinked, not knowing what the two people were saying?
However, he could feel that after Xu San talked with the driver, the speed of the car seemed to slow down a little and it was no longer so bumpy.
After about forty minutes, the darkness receded, and the rugged mountain road already had a vague outline.
Tian Xue poked Xu San with her finger. Xu San opened his eyes and saw the distance clearly.
It was a stronghold, and it looked like the kind of stronghold where a dozen or so people were stationed.
He was familiar with the style of the turrets in the stronghold, which were designed by Zhang Shouling.
only
Xu San glanced around again and found that this place was very remote and there were no roads.
With such inconvenient transportation, why set up a stronghold here?
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
It's daybreak and the morning breeze is slightly cool.
Xu San stopped Tian Xue and walked into the stronghold.
After just taking a short break, the driver who just drove took a piece of paper and handed it to Tian Xue and said, "Miss Tian, this is what you need to say in a while!"
Tian Xue glanced at Xu San.
Xu San translated!
"If the ransom is paid, will you let me go immediately?"
Xu San continued to translate, then blinked his left eye twice vaguely, and then translated Tian Xue's words.
After hearing this, the driver immediately replied: "Yes! As long as your father pays the ransom, we will release him immediately!"
"Hmph!" Tian Xue didn't talk to the driver anymore, but raised her fist and hit Xu San on the body.
While beating him, he cried, "You heartless little devil! You actually took advantage of my feelings! Wuwuwu~"
"Pa bang bang~~"
Tian Xue kept waving her fists, and finally used her teeth, "You liar! You liar!"
This section was secretly calculated by two people.
In order to help Xu San clear away the suspicion.
After a while of commotion, the driver dialed the Tian family's phone number, and then Tian Xue demanded a ransom according to the amount on the note.
Fifty thousand dollars!
It's not much. It's not a big number for the Tian family. If you try hard to gather it together, you can get it together in half a day.
As long as it's such a small amount of money, I probably want to get the money as soon as possible.
Speaking of the reason, is it probably because the steel plant suffered too much loss?
But didn’t they get 7 tons of gold from Inglis?
Isn't this enough?
"Pa~"
Xu San knocked himself on the head, feeling that he was over the top.
Of course, the more money, the better.
Even if the steel plant is rebuilt, won’t the railway also have to be repaired?
The Japanese have more ways to spend their money, and they are now planning to go to war with the United States!
There are more places to spend money.
After the brief phone call ended, the driver took the two of them to a clean room.
As a result, Xu San was kicked out less than a minute after entering.
Xu San, who was kicked out, looked at the driver and shrugged helplessly, "All my good deeds have been ruined by you!"
"Sorry!" The driver bowed, but unfortunately, this bow was insincere.
Xu San sighed slightly and lifted Murasumi onto his shoulders, "I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat?"
"Only cans and rice balls!" the driver said.
"You don't have to pay for some of your food, right?" Xu San asked.
"No, you can eat as much as you like, as long as you don't leave the stronghold."
"Then take me to eat."
.
Too far, Tianfu!
After Tian's father received the call, his face immediately darkened.
He has supported the Eighth Route Army for many years, but he did not expect that the Eighth Route Army would kidnap his daughter.
Picking up the phone, he wanted to call his contact person in the Eighth Route Army.
But halfway through dialing, he pressed the receiver.
After all, he has dealt with the Eighth Route Army for many years and knows what the Eighth Route Army's style is.
They would never be able to kidnap a wealthy businessman.
So
There is a high possibility that Japanese people did this!
Not to mention how much money can be extorted this time, just framing the case is enough to make the Eighth Route Army drink a pot.
"Hey~" Tian's father sighed. Fortunately, he didn't make the call. Maybe the Japanese people in Tian's capital were now monitoring him. If he had made the call just now, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After adjusting his mood, he called the housekeeper and told him to prepare the ransom.
Fifty thousand is not much, but the Tian family doesn't have that many beautiful knives at home, so it takes some work to get enough.
After pinching his head, Tian's father felt that the world was getting more and more chaotic, and his little wealth might be wiped out in less than two years. (End of chapter)
