Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Yun Jixing nodded, let go of Yu Ru's hand, and walked towards the hostage. He stood in front of the hostage for a while and said, "Brother, among so many people, you are the only one we caught. Aren't you unwilling to accept this? I know you were threatened to do this. Now there is a good opportunity for revenge in front of you. It would be a pity if you don't fight for it."

The hostage half-closed his eyes, looked up at him, and then quickly lowered his head. He seemed uninterested in what he said, but his chest rose and fell a little more than before, and his breathing seemed to have suddenly become a little rapid.

"Or has someone threatened you? Do you dare to say that I will rush to your house and kill all your family members as soon as the information comes out?" Yun Jixing continued with a kind smile on his face.

"If they could threaten you or make a promise like this, your family would probably be dead by now. If you were thinking of sacrificing yourself for the happiness of three generations of your family, that would be really dangerous."

Yun Jixing looked at the hostage and saw that his expression had relaxed a little. He then said, "Tell me everything you know now. I can arrange for someone to protect your family and give them 200,000 yuan."

The hostage didn't say anything, but just looked up at him, with a trace of resolute tenacity in his tired eyes. Seeing this, Yu Ru walked to Yun Jixing, took out her phone, opened a video in it, and held it in front of the hostage. She turned up the volume of the phone to the maximum, and everything the people in the video said was clear, and the noisy voices echoed several times in the empty basement.

"Dad, Daddy..."

The loudest sounds coming from the phone were the cries of these children.

Upon hearing the voice, the hostage looked at the video in Yu Ru's phone with bloodshot eyes, suddenly stood up and walked to the iron pillar of the iron cage, holding the iron pillar with both hands and yelled at Yun Jixing and Yu Ru: "What are you doing?"

"Don't worry, we didn't do anything. We just retrieved the surveillance footage from your home. We didn't go to your house." Yun Jixing said with a smile.

"Your child is so smart and cute. Without his father's protection and without money, I can't imagine how hard his life will be. It's even a question whether he can grow up healthily. Brother, since you gave birth to him, you should at least think about the child."

The hostage looked at Yu Ru's phone again. He stared at the screen carefully for a while and found that it was indeed true. The picture was not a real shot, but a surveillance picture. This made him calm down a little. He walked back to the chair and sat down. He looked at Yun Jixing and said, "If you want me to say it, you can send 200,000 to my house first, and then I will tell you."

Hearing this, Long Legs got angry. "Brother, don't you understand the situation? Our boss is the victim, and what we are going to do now is also in your favor. How dare you negotiate with us? I'll give you the good food and drink you've had since you were captured. If someone else had captured you, they would have tortured you to death, and you'd be lucky if you didn't lose a layer of skin."

Sister Shan and Sister Ping, who were standing beside him, quickly held his shoulders and signaled him to calm down. Sister Shan warned in a low voice: "Long legs, the young master and the mistress haven't spoken yet."

Changtui opened his mouth and quickly closed it. He glanced at Sister Shan and Sister Ping, then at Yun Jixing and Yu Ru, "Young... Boss, this person, this person, hey..."

"It's okay." Yun Jixing looked calm and turned to talk to the hostage.

"Brother, it seems that you have no trust in us at all, so there is no need to talk any further. You are not here for tourism, but as a captive. Moreover, we are the victims, so you have no reason to negotiate with me. The information you can provide is not necessary for me. Knowing it may only save us time, but not knowing it will not make any difference."

After saying that, he took Yu Ru's hand and turned around to leave with her.

"Send this person wherever you need to go later."

Yun Jixing and Yu Ru immediately walked towards the door hand in hand. When they were about to leave, the hostage suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute!"

The two turned around and didn't move forward, just looked at him.

The hostage grabbed the iron cage with both hands again. His chest rose and fell violently, and his breathing became rapid. "I'm telling you! You can ask me to do anything, but don't touch my family. I don't need the 200,000 yuan, just give me 100,000 yuan."

Yun Jixing did not respond and turned to look at Yu Ru.

Yu Ru nodded.

The two men returned to the hostage, moved a chair and sat down in front of him.

"Who taught you to do this? How were you found? Where exactly were you found?" Yun Jixing asked first.

"That man seemed to be the general manager of Jiangcheng Integrity Group. We were found in our own house. We were just about to inhale that stuff, and then he came." The hostage said with his eyes downcast.

"Where is your own house? Tell me the exact address." Yun Jixing asked again.

"It's not our house." The hostage stopped talking. After a while, he continued: "It's a building. The building hasn't been built yet. We sneaked in."

"How did you get in? Through the main gate or climbing over the wall?" Yun Jixing asked.

"Climb the wall."

"Construction workers in Jiangcheng like to put glass on the walls and fences. How did you get in? Is the leader of the construction team related to you, or is the owner of the building related to you? The general manager of Chengxin Group usually won't meet you first-hand. How do you know for sure that he is the general manager of Chengxin Group? Did he come to you, or did the leader among you take the initiative to find him?"

The hostage lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Yun Jixing's face turned a little colder. "Brother, everyone's time is precious. Since you promised to speak, then you should speak well. Please finish speaking quickly. I will check it out and send the 200,000 yuan to your home as soon as possible. What can you change by wasting time here with me?"

Yu Ru didn't have much patience for this kind of thing. She looked back and forth between him and the hostage, then exhaled heavily. Yun Jixing felt something was wrong when he heard her voice. In his understanding, this was a sign of impatience and she was about to get angry. He immediately turned his head to look at her, "A Ru..."

He was about to ask something when Yu Ru suddenly stood up and pulled him up. Yun Jixing didn't understand what was going on, so she pointed to the corner with one hand, and he followed her to the corner to talk.
