cool autumn

Zhou Ran has been eating and sleeping in the hospital for the past few days, in order to let Xu Sizhu's girlfriend quickly find out the location of the Tibetans through the unlimited satellite network when the gangster calls again. The situation can only be like this first.

I received the call again on the afternoon of the third day, when Zhou Ran was on the phone with the young man from Xiangyanghua Detective Agency, listening to him talking very fast over there about the special situation he was encountering now, it was so exciting Another eye-catching material, he expressed that he wanted Zhou Ran to increase his weight and broaden the conditions.

Zhou Ran pondered for a few seconds, said hello, and hung up the phone.Unexpectedly, just as the phone was closed, the ringtone rang again.

The phone displayed an unfamiliar number, which was different from the one last time, but there were undoubtedly two types of people who would call him, one was an acquaintance, and the other was a kidnapper.Zhou Ran's expression froze, and he walked back to the ward quickly, signaling Xu Sizhu and his girlfriend to quickly take out the equipment and prepare to follow the signal. Seeing her gesture, she unhurriedly connected the phone.

It was still the harsh mechanical sound like sandpaper, but this time he said very directly, "Get ready to redeem your mother with 1000 million. I will tell you the specific transaction time separately. I warn you that if you dare to call the police, I will report you." Tear her up immediately."

Zhou Ran laughed when he heard it, and asked back: "I remember that this number is not the one from last time. I was too nervous before. You thought you came here just like that, and I believed your nonsense. At least," the index finger subconsciously Tapped a few times, "At least, you have to ask me to confirm whether my mother is in your hands, or you think the money is so easy to get, eh"

There was silence for a few seconds, then hung up the phone with a snap, Xu Sizhu and his girlfriend stopped typing on the keyboard, thought for a moment, and then decided to ask Zhou Ran to wait.

Sure enough, the phone vibrated within a few seconds, followed by a few MMS messages. Zhou Ran opened the MMS and looked through the photos. The photos inside were all Zhou Huaning without exception. In the photos, she shrank into a ball in horror, surrounded by It seemed very dark, the dim light was flickering, and the light was not particularly good.

After staring at it for a few seconds, Zhou Ran was sure that Zhou Huaning inside hadn't been violated or hurt, and directly showed the photo to Xu Sizhu and his girlfriend, until she also nodded with certainty that it was an unspliced ​​picture. It was only a little bit relieved, but he immediately copied these photos to the hard disk. No matter what, he couldn't let them go so easily. This is the evidence they sent to the door, even those before He asked Xu Sizhu and his girlfriend to record the phone calls, which will be of great use in the future.I heard that a new type of anti-diacritic demodulator has been developed in Germany. Although it is still in the trial stage, it may not be possible to introduce it into China for development.

They didn't call this time, but just sent a message to ask Zhou Ran to prepare the money, and wait for their notice, and don't do anything that touches their nerves, otherwise the hostage will not be guaranteed, and they will definitely tear up the ticket.

Zhou Ran read the message several times, but he was really puzzled. If the gang of kidnappers only wanted money, it would be easier to deal with. Now he was afraid that they came because of him and had other plans. Zhou Huaning was just incidental. That's all.

Xu Sizhu and his girlfriend patted Zhou Ran on the shoulder, telling him not to worry, as long as the kidnappers still have demands, then Zhou Huaning's current situation is considered safe, as long as they can rescue her within this safe period, everything will be in time.And she has deciphered two-thirds of it now, as long as she contacts her twice more, she can quickly find out the address and carry out rescue operations for the sister-in-law in time.

Su Yao has been so busy these days that his feet don't touch the ground, even the school courses have been delayed for several days, he might as well teach music, so he can ask other teachers to substitute for the class, otherwise, he even has the intention of resigning.Hey, tell me, if Zhou Ran's mother can't be rescued completely and accurately, he's sure that the ferocious man at Huanshui Wharf will be able to fight his own man right away.

At that time, if this matter is placed on Xunyang City Road, it will become a stormy event.Just thinking about it makes his heart tremble, he can't afford to lose this face, so let's get him out quickly.

It's okay if you don't check it, Su Yao checked it for several days and nights without rest, he was so dizzy that he almost didn't get down, but when he was about to be exhausted, hey, it really made him sick He discovered something new.

He has checked all the photos that Zhou Ran gave him that may have clues, but the man holding Qiu Yue in that photo seems to be very picky about the angle, no matter where he looks at it, the angle of view is dead cannot see clearly.He had doubts in his heart for a long time, but coincidentally, when Su Yao was flipping through the information, the two little ones at home noticed that a certain man in an entertainment magazine seemed to coincide with the person in the photo. Together, Su Yao immediately took the things into the office to scan and compare.

As soon as the photos were compared, Su Yao couldn't help shaking his feet. Seeing the correct face in the photo, Su Yao smiled very proudly. The series of actions carried out can also be explained. Although he doesn't think what Zhou Ran has is worthy of their covetousness, it is obvious that some of their rights and interests are related to Zhou Ran, so Zhou Ran will be dealt with like this No wonder.

He hummed a ditty to himself, Su Yao was in a great mood and made a cup of milk for Su Yanbao and Su Beiling, while he ate an apple leisurely, and then gave Zhou Ran a slap in a happy mood Telephone.

After Zhou Ran heard the answer that Su Yao told him, his heart became clear. Although he didn't often see the man in the photo, he had met him several times in his previous life. I'm sure, but I already have the answer in my heart, that's why I asked the young man from Sunflower Detective Agency to dig information in this direction, but now when Su Yao told him the answer, the feeling was more subtle. Sure enough, the enemy's road is narrow, isn't it? !

"You can just keep an eye on him for me. He may not do it himself. He has to send a few more younger brothers to watch Qiu Yue. I don't believe he didn't participate in it." exhorted.

Si Yue's injury has healed a lot now, and with the help of those rough-skinned girlfriends to take care of it, Zhou Ran is also a lot more relaxed. After all, men and women are different, and it is very inconvenient to take care of her.As her trauma slowly healed, the soup soup prepared by the old Chinese doctor was also put on the agenda. Although the old man was not well-known in the hospital, the key was that this person was too withdrawn and didn't care about the leaders at all. The one who is willing to bow his head is precisely because he has the ability, the upper management of the hospital can keep people here, otherwise, in any place, such a ungrateful, ignorant and stubborn hoof will be isolated and divided sooner or later Yes, how can I get mixed up to the point where the old man is so carefree now.

"Little baby, drink this medicine quickly. After you drink it, you will be able to talk. Be obedient and be good." The old man was holding a black medicine bowl with a smile, like a human trafficker who kidnapped children. It's kind of obscene or something.

Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu have become acquainted with the old man in the past two days. They really admire him for being able to see his wife's old rheumatism at a glance, especially after using the prescription he prescribed. The medicine, after soaking in the potion, the rapid and amazing effect subdued them immediately, so they now firmly believe in the words of the old Chinese medicine doctor.

When Zhou Ran said that Siyue's dumb disease had a chance to recover, they couldn't help but burst into tears. How much did this girl suffer because she was unable to speak? If she could speak, Then her parents would not neglect her, beat her, or even discriminate against her; if she could speak, she would not be bullied by children of the same age in groups, and she would not be left behind in the end. The point of parental abandonment.Heaven has finally opened his eyes, and bless this child to grow up healthy and smooth in the future.

"Yaya, hurry up, listen to the doctor, you have to drink this, you can talk after drinking, don't you always want to learn English from your brother? When your voice is good, he will naturally teach you. Be obedient, ah," Grandma Xu coaxed her as she sat on the edge of the bed.

Si Yue looked hesitantly at the bowl of dark medicinal soup in front of her, and could squeeze out a fly wrinkle from her brows. She hated drinking medicine, especially such a dark medicinal soup, which would remind her of her seven When she was eight years old, her mother once quarreled fiercely with her father, and ended up swearing and swearing at her. When her father slammed the door away angrily, her mother aggressively poured her A large bowl of medicinal soup, that thing can't kill anyone, but it made Si Yuezu sick for a whole year, and the already skinny child seemed to have shrunk all of a sudden. She still remembers that mouth Bitter taste.

The medicine soup that Zhou Ran brought her before was still amber and transparent, and she could barely swallow it for Zhou Ran, but now, she really couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart, just thinking about it so lightly, she couldn't bear it. I couldn't help but think back to her mother's sinister and vicious eyes, as cold as if she wanted to kill herself.

So, even though she knew that drinking the medicine would be good for her health, Si Yue still couldn't swallow the soup, and the two sides ended up in such a stalemate.

When Zhou Ran came in, seeing such a stagnant scene, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and walked forward with a smile, "What's wrong with you? The medicine is cold."

As soon as the old man saw Zhou Ran as if he had seen a savior, he quickly stuffed the bowl of medicinal soup into his hand, waved his hand, and ran away immediately.

The porcelain bowl in his hand was still warm, but compared to the boiling heat at the beginning, he knew that the medicinal soup had been delayed for a long time. Zhou Ran put the medicinal soup on the bedside table, turned his head and said to Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu, "Brother Zhuzi and his comrade-in-arms probably haven't eaten yet, why don't you two go back and have a look first, and I'll just watch here." When he was talking, he still glanced at the bowl of medicinal soup from the corner of his eyes, with a slight look in his eyes. hold back.

Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu looked at each other, nodded knowingly, tidied up, and went back with April's change of clothes.

Zhou Ran was not in a hurry to urge Siyue to take the medicine, but sat on the side of the bed and told her about the clues about Zhou Huaning that he had found in the past few days, touching her head and speaking slowly, "Yaya, mom's address is almost here. It's been found out, and you will be able to see your mother in a short time, are you happy?"

Si Yue nodded and looked at Zhou Ran eagerly. She was frightened that day. There was such a group of masked and vicious people, all tall and powerful. It was because of repeated struggles that he was kicked many times by the shortest man among them, especially when he saw Si Yue's gritted teeth and refused to admit defeat, he became even more angry, so Si Yue was dealt with so badly , if Zhou Ran hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid that April would have shed all his blood, how could he have survived until now, and there was even the possibility of speaking.

"Yaya, if mom comes back and finds out that you can talk in the future, she will be so happy. Don't you want to make mom happy?" Zhou Ran coaxed with a rare brow.

Si Yue showed hesitation, bit her lip, her hands trembled a little, she opened and closed her mouth, and finally lowered her head.

Zhou Ran didn't know about the experience of being drugged in April, but he knew that to get the child out, he had to let her drink the drug on her own initiative, and other people's force would not work.

"Yaya, drink up the medicine obediently, and cooperate with the doctor's treatment. Brother will buy you candied fruit, okay?" Zhou Ran smiled at her, and didn't force her to drink the medicine, but just found an excuse to leave the house Well, he wasn't worried about what would happen without him, those tough female doctors and nurses would guard her.

Zhou Ran said he was looking for candied fruit, so he really went out of the hospital to buy it, but he didn’t go back immediately after buying the candied fruit. Instead, he asked Dr. Zhong who happened to pass by to help him bring it in, and he drove away. Hospital.

The car moved forward and stopped at the door of the Lin family mansion. It was still the old housekeeper who opened the door. He was a little surprised when he saw Zhou Ran, but he welcomed him in with a smile, and led the people in. While chatting with him about homework.

"The head of the house is not here. Master Aran, are you looking for the head of the house or Miss Jingxian?" The old butler has been a housekeeper in the Lin family all his life. He is an old man who grew up watching Lin Kuofeng and Lin Jingxian. Respect, so in the Lin family of Nuo Da, as long as he still likes to call Lin Jingxian affectionately Miss.

Zhou Ran paused, and moved forward again, "I have something to do with my aunt. It doesn't matter if my uncle is not here. Grandpa the housekeeper, don't work so hard. You should go and have a rest."

The old butler raised his brows, showing some majesty that people dare not look directly at, but after a moment, he returned to his usual expression, and said seriously: "Master Aran dislikes me for being old, and I don't want to let you Did I serve you?"

Zhou Ran hurriedly smiled, "I know that A Ran doesn't mean that, but don't misunderstand me, grandpa housekeeper."

The old housekeeper also laughed, waved his hands not too much, turned his head and said: "Miss Jingxian is probably still at the small bamboo forest, you can go by yourself, I, old man, let's go and rest."

Zhou Ran stamped his feet, watched the old butler walk away slowly, rubbed his fingers, and smiled with dark eyes, this old butler is really a ghostly character.

In fact, Zhou Ran came out after staying in the grove for less than half an hour. No one knew what he had said to Lin Jingxian, but he happened to run into Lin Wangbei when he was going out.

"Hey, Aran, why are you here? Why don't you go in and sit down?" Lin Wangbei just got out of the car when he saw Zhou Ran standing at the gate of the Lin family's mansion. He didn't know what he was thinking. A little lost.

Zhou Ran didn't know what to think of, and suddenly smiled inexplicably, and just tilted his head slightly to ask him a question, "Brother, may I ask you a question?"

Lin Wangbei raised his eyebrows, looked like a big brother, coughed twice, walked over in a big way, and asked with a smile, "What's the problem?"

"If someone wants to kill you, what will you do? And you still have new and old grudges." Zhou Ran rubbed his chin as if making a final decision.

Lin Wangbei slapped his thigh, and said as a matter of course: "Then it goes without saying, I can easily let him go if he wants to kill me? If there are new and old grudges, that's fine. The total account will be settled together, and every cent will be settled." No less," he winked at Zhou Ran as he spoke, "Who do you have a grudge with, and that person wants to kill you, you can talk to brother, maybe brother can help you a lot."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ran just smiled lightly, looked at Lin Wangbei and said word by word: "There will be times when you can help, now, don't worry."

For some reason, Lin Wangbei suddenly had the urge to shiver all over his body. Zhou Ran's eyes were too cold. When he looked indifferently into the distance, he seemed to be looking at a dead person. He was a little worried that Zhou Ran had really messed with something. Son, but before he could open his mouth, Zhou Ran had already stopped a taxi and left in a car, leaving him alone at the gate for a long time, feeling that his cousin was a bit intrusive.

It was getting dark gradually, but the depression in Zhou Ran's heart did not dissipate at all. Not only did he feel suffocated, but also a faint sense of excitement. There is an indescribably complicated emotion, but as long as his mind is determined, he doesn't want to change it. Even if their grievances can't be settled here, can't he be allowed to charge some interest back, huh.

After returning to the hospital, the gangster changed his mobile phone number and called. Zhou Ran quietly listened to the gangster's harsh words over there, and suddenly the corner of his mouth curled up, and he said with a smile: "Ask your boss to come and talk to you." I speak, I know who he is, stop messing around with false names, I know what you want?"

There was a pause over there, but it wasn't that stupid, and a few words were blown out, but Xu Sizhu, his girlfriend, and several other female nurses looked at Zhou Ran in surprise, with different eyes for a while.

Zhou Ran didn't mind their stares, just found a comfortable place to sit down, squinted his eyes and said to the other side, "Ask Huang Kaiming to talk to me, otherwise he won't want anything. Will you obediently hand over the things? Stop dreaming."

There was silence for a few seconds, and then he was hung up abruptly. Zhou Ran guessed that he was going to ask Huang Kaiming for instructions, and he was not in a hurry, and even ate a bowl of rice noodles in a good mood.

After a while, there was another call from the other side. Compared with the previous voice that used a voice changer, this voice was obviously more popular, "It really is someone who does big things, can you guess It's me, it seems that I really have some skills, ah, hahaha..."

Zhou Ran took out a paper towel and slowly wiped his mouth, poured a glass of water to rinse his mouth, and then answered him slowly, "Mr. Huang is too much, I want to ask how my mother is doing now? Did you guys do anything to her?" Bar?"

The other side laughed, "What can I do to your mother, as long as you obediently take out what I want, I will naturally send you back? = Mom, every millimeter is not bad, I am also a businessman, Isn’t the most important thing for a businessman is honesty?”

Zhou Ran sneered in his heart, businessmen, what businessmen are best at is not honesty or dishonesty, their essence is nothing more than the four words 'mercenary', but their indifference on the surface is the same as before, and they still said lightly, "Let's talk, What exactly do you want? How do we trade, where do we trade, when?"

There was a pause over there, and he immediately set out his conditions, "As long as you give me a share transfer letter for the 20.00% shares in Lin Wangbei's company and the [-]% shares in Lin's family. How about it, compared with the shares, do you think your mother is more important, or your shares are more important? Huh?"

Before Zhou Ran could reply, he said again: "I only give you one day, you have to get ready as soon as possible and be ready to trade at any time, and I am very punctual, if you delay the hour, don't blame me Turn your face and deny anyone, then come and collect your mother's body."

Saying that, he hung up the phone with a click.

Zhou Ran stared at the blacked-out screen for a few seconds, and smiled meaningfully. After a while, he turned his head to look at the dignified girls next to him, and said seriously, "Let them be ready for rescue operations at any time. We can’t believe everything people say, we still need to take precautionary measures.” After a pause, he continued: “Don’t let others know about this, I will deal with it as soon as possible, you don’t have to worry too much. "

Those big girls looked at each other, nodded at him, and they agreed, but they were still worried that such a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child would not be able to look at things rationally, so don't be too impulsive, which would make a big mistake instead. That's good.

The next day, when Zhou Ran successfully got the transfer letter, the driver of the Lin family who delivered the documents to Zhou Ran felt chills, and without waiting for Zhou Ran to thank him, he threw a sentence at him. "The housekeeper still has something to do with him" and ran away quickly.

Leaving Zhou Ran alone, with the document, he hummed a little song and entered the hospital in a happy mood. He was looking forward to what would happen tomorrow and how wonderful the follow-up would be.
