Chapter 175: Kidnapping
The middle-aged man sighed, his tone somewhat regretful: “I will relay your words verbatim to the Master. I hope the Young Master can still have his youthful spirit at that time.”
He bowed toward Xie Jingyan and then left.
Xie Jingyan frowned, thinking of Old Mrs. Xie and Xie He in the Capital City, and couldn’t help feeling a bit anxious.
He was still studying in Jin Cheng right now and had no way to look after their safety. Although the Lin Family had declined somewhat now, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse, and it wasn’t something an ordinary countryside old lady like Old Mrs. Xie could handle.
Xie Jingyan took a deep breath, pursed his lips, and finally made a call to Meng Su.
……
Inside the Police Station.
The answer Jiang Ning got was also that the driver was fatigued driving. His driver’s license was revoked, and he was detained because it was entirely his fault. But he also went through part of the insurance. If Father Jiang had unfortunately died in this car accident, then this driver would soon face a prison disaster of up to seven years. If Father Jiang didn’t die and was still alive and well, plus if his family didn’t forgive him, then this driver would only need to go to jail for three years to be released after serving his sentence.
So no matter what, the maximum punishment was just the driver going to jail.
Because the investigation of the dashcam showed no evidence of intentional murder.
Officer Dong was also helpless. Although he really wanted to help Jiang Ning, facing ironclad evidence, he had no method.
Officer Dong comforted her: “I know your family has had a lot of incidents recently, but don’t worry. We will investigate for you. Even if you come to find this driver, it won’t have much effect. If there is progress in this matter, we will notify you, so you should go back and wait for news.”
Since Officer Dong had said so, what more could Jiang Ning say? She could only agree.
At this time, outside the Police Station.
Gu Lanli hesitated for a full five minutes but still decided to ask Su Wanyuan.
Have her come to the Police Station entrance to pick him up.
But the calls he made were always hung up by the other side.
After five consecutive times, Gu Lanli got somewhat angry. He didn’t quite understand what Su Wanyuan meant. Was it really as Jiang Ning said, using him up and then kicking him away?
When Gu Lanli unwillingly dialed the sixth number, the other side finally connected.
Before he could speak, the sound of sobbing came from the other side first: “Wuwuwu, Lanli, is that you? I’m so scared. Come save me quickly.”
Gu Lanli’s words of questioning were abruptly stuck. Hearing Su Wanyuan’s sobbing, his facial expression changed instantly, and he hurriedly asked: “Wanyuan, what happened to you? What happened? Tell me, and I’ll solve it for you.”
Her choking voice came through: “I don’t know… I was suddenly kidnapped. The kidnapper wants me to pay five million ransom before letting me leave. I’m just a poor student receiving financial aid. Where would I get five million? So they took me away, saying that if I don’t pay by today, they’ll rip up the ticket. Wuwuwu, Lanli, what should I do? I feel like I’m about to die.”
When Gu Lanli heard “kidnapper” and “five million,” his heart also rose.
No wonder on the day he got out, Su Wanyuan didn’t come to pick him up, but something had happened on her side.
He said in a deep voice: “Don’t be afraid. I’ll come save you. Is the kidnapper next to you? Let me say a few words to him.”
The next second, Su Wanyuan’s scream came through, followed by a sleazy male voice from the other side: “You’d better come quickly. We’re still busy finishing the job. I’ll give you only thirty minutes. Every ten minutes that pass, I’ll strip one piece of clothes off this woman.”
Su Wanyuan’s shrill voice rang out: “No! Don’t! Wuwuwu, Lanli, this gang was called by Jiang Ning. She hates me and thinks I wanted to harm her younger brother. She won’t listen to my explanation and bears a grudge against me. Help me tell her that I know I was wrong. Beg her not to target me anymore. I really just want to study hard at Ninth Middle School. Ask her to let me off!”
After Su Wanyuan finished speaking, the call on the other side was quickly hung up.
Gu Lanli’s mind was full of only one sentence: “This gang was called by Jiang Ning.”
So the kidnapper was someone Jiang Ning deliberately hired, just to give Su Wanyuan a harsh lesson.
So that’s why she had just given him that warning. The meaning of those words was actually like forcing him to make a choice.
The guilt he had felt toward Jiang Ning was instantly thrown to the back of his mind. He stormed into the Police Station in a rage and happened to run into the worried Jiang Ning.
Gu Lanli furiously grabbed Jiang Ning’s wrist: “I thought you’d changed for the better, but your true nature is still so vicious! Jiang Ning, how can you be so bad? Do you know how much harm your actions will cause to Wanyuan?”
Jiang Ning also got angry.
She was still thinking about things when this idiot suddenly rushed up and jabbered a bunch of alien language at her that she didn’t understand. What about Su Wanyuan again? What did it have to do with her?
She directly kicked Gu Lanli in the knee, forcing him to kneel on one knee in front of her.
Because of the pain, Gu Lanli let go of Jiang Ning’s hand.
Jiang Ning looked down at him: “Don’t touch me. It’s dirty.”
She walked straight out.
Seeing her not explain at all, Gu Lanli believed Su Wanyuan’s words even more.
His mobile phone rang. Su Wanyuan’s number sent him a string of addresses, with “secret transaction” written below.
Telling him to bring five million, and they’d let Su Wanyuan go.
Gu Lanli stood up and rushed toward Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning was caught off guard and was directly pushed by him into a taxi with its door open.
Because of this, her forehead knocked against the car door, causing a momentary dizziness. The strength in her body was stripped away, giving Jiang Ning a feeling that her soul was about to leave her body.
Gu Lanli got in right after, shoving the address from the text message in front of the driver: “Hurry, go to this address at the fastest speed.”
The driver wearing a mask glanced at Jiang Ning in the rearview mirror and responded in a hoarse voice: “Alright, sit tight. We’ll be there soon.”
Jiang Ning came to her senses, and the car was already moving.
A big bump had swollen on her forehead.
Jiang Ning straightened up and fiercely slapped Gu Lanli across the face, her expression indifferent: “Are you sick?”
Gu Lanli’s face was turned to the side from the slap, but he suppressed his emotions. He gritted his teeth: “If you have a problem with me, come at me. Why hurt Wanyuan? How can you be so bad as to hire a kidnapper to kidnap Wanyuan? She’s a girl! How is she supposed to live after this?”
Jiang Ning laughed in anger: “Did Su Wanyuan say that? I hired a kidnapper to kidnap her?”
Gu Lanli pursed his lips: “Yes! She told me. No matter how much you bear a grudge against her, you can’t treat her like this.”
Jiang Ning only felt hot blood rushing to the top of her head. She really wanted to slap Gu Lanli again to see how much water was in his brain. She couldn’t understand how someone could be so stupid, with no ability to think for himself, believing whatever others said.
Just now, Jiang Ning had still been trying to get him to figure out the matter with Su Wanyuan on his own.
Now she also wanted to slap herself.
She was really too idle.
Jiang Ning took a deep breath and said to the driver: “Stop the car. I want to get off.”
Typo correction, too sleepy, good night everyone
