Chapter 47: 450,000 Ransom
"Someone went to the gym to look for this guy. Brother Yu, what should we do?"
Outside the factory, it was dark. There were no houses in this area and it was almost pitch dark.
"That guy's phone can be sold for some money, but there's only , plus the one thousand in the wallet. We're in trouble for such a small amount of money. It's really not worth it."
Yu Ping took a long puff of his cigarette and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. We can't let him go back. If he does, I'll be finished."
"But..." After all, they are all young people in their twenties. They may be reckless but they dare not kill anyone.
"Don't say buts. Don't forget that we are now in the same boat. You guys spent a lot of money we got before."
Yu Ping threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with his foot. "Ask again. If we really can't come up with any money, we'll leave quickly. Leaving Danhe and selling the car will be enough for us to survive for a while. Xiaoguang, go change the license plate. I'll teach this guy a lesson."
Yu Ping was forced into a corner. He had gotten into trouble in Danhe and owed a lot of money.
The car he is driving now is not his, but belongs to a rich woman who just lent it to him for a while.
This rich woman no longer gives him money and wants the car back. Yu Ping is really at his wit's end.
After returning to the factory, Yu Ping turned on the flashlight and put it aside, then lifted the thing covering He Shu's eyes. He Shu's eyes had been covered for too long, and it took a while for him to open them.
Although his vision was a little blurry and the light was dim, he recognized Yu Ping at a glance.
"You know who I am, so I won't waste my time talking to you. I'm in trouble now and need money to get away. There's nothing I can do about it if I ask you. If you can get me more money, I'll spare your life."
"If you can't figure it out, don't blame me for being cruel."
He Shu's heart was pounding as he heard Yu Ping say, "They won't be able to find this place for a while. If they don't see the money by dawn, you'll just stay here and stink."
"If you let me go, I won't tell anyone that I've ever seen you, and I'll also say that I lost my phone and bank card."
He Shu tried his best to calm himself. He was about to take the college entrance examination and finally felt that there was hope in his life. How could he let himself die here?
So, He Shu stared at Yu Ping and advised him sincerely: "You also said that you were seeking wealth, but if you are responsible for a death, you are really finished. The police will catch up with you even if they chase you to the ends of the earth, and then you will be shot."
Yu Ping lit a cigarette. He was not afraid that He Shu would run away. Now He Shu was tied up like a piglet and could not even stand up.
"I just turned 18 and got my ID card not long ago. You want money, but I want my life. If you let me go, I will give you my money."
"Humph." Yu Ping snorted coldly: "Do you think I'm stupid? If I let you go, you will definitely call the police."
"Then how can you trust me?" While asking this question, He Shu was desperately thinking of a solution in his heart.
He couldn't move at the moment. Even if he regained his freedom, he would not be a match for the person in front of him, not to mention that there was another person outside.
"Even if I call the police, you can only be charged with robbery, which is different from murder."
"Shut up!" Yu Ping slapped He Shu again: "Do I need you to say it?"
He Shu was beaten so hard that his mouth was bleeding, and he began to get angry inside, but the more angry he became, the calmer his expression became.
"How about I call my uncle and ask him to get the money to redeem me?"
When Yu Ping heard this, he was actually a little tempted, but he was afraid that the other party would call the police.
"You can ask him to put the money in a place and release me after you get the money." He Shu said quietly.
Yu Ping glanced at him and shone the flashlight to the side. The little light cast made half of He Shu's face hidden in shadow.
He was clearly a hostage at the mercy of others, but his expression was indifferent, as if he was talking about someone else's business.
The other half of his face was swollen and there was blood at the corner of his mouth, which looked weird no matter how you looked at it.
Yu Ping didn't know why he felt a little uneasy and frightened.
He talks tough outside, but he is just an ordinary thug who cheats middle-aged women out of their money and has never actually killed anyone.
What I just said was just to scare He Shu. Yu Ping was in a dilemma at this moment.
"Okay, you call and ask them to prepare one million."
"My family only received 450,000 yuan in compensation for the demolition. You are asking for too much. They need time to raise the money. If they have already called the police, your danger will increase."
Yu Ping smiled when he heard this: "You really care about me."
He called another companion and asked for He Shu's cell phone.
When the man saw that the blindfold on He Shu had been removed, he immediately covered his face.
Yu Ping laughed and scolded, "What are you afraid of? We'll take the money and run away. Who will find us?"
Yu Ping took the phone, turned it on, and immediately received a series of messages, all from Zhao Qishui and others.
He Shu called Zhao Qishui and the call was picked up after just one ring: "Hello, He Shu? Where have you been? Can you talk?"
Uncle Zhao's anxious voice came from the phone, and He Shu suddenly choked up.
The reason why He Shu lied to Yu Ping and said that his money was in Uncle Zhao's hands was because he knew that Uncle Zhao couldn't raise 450,000 yuan at once.
He hoped that Uncle Zhao would call the police immediately after receiving the call. Now he didn't know where he was and his movements were restricted, so he could only delay and wait for the police to arrive.
"Speak!" Yu Ping kicked He Shu, and He Shu shouted into the phone: "Uncle Zhao!"
As soon as he finished shouting, Yu Ping took the phone away and put it to his ear: "Boss Zhao, He Shu is in our hands now. We give you an hour to prepare 450,000 cash, otherwise you will have to wait for He Shu's body to be collected."
…
Zhao Qishui was looking for him like crazy. After reporting the case, the police heard that he was an 18-year-old high school student. They said that he had to be missing for 48 hours before filing a case, and asked them to look for him in places that students like to play.
Because of this sentence, Zhao Qishui scolded the operator.
He thought of his son Zhao Yan and could no longer bear the pain of losing his child again.
Everyone split up to search, even teacher Li Mei, who was pregnant, quickly called home and asked her husband to come out and help look.
At this time, He Shu called. Zhao Qishui was so happy, but then his mood was like a roller coaster, and it quickly dived down.
He Shu was kidnapped, and the kidnappers demanded 450,000 yuan!
Yu Ping hung up the phone after he finished speaking. When he called again, the phone was turned off. Zhao Qishui was at a loss as to what to do and had to go and collect the money.
Zhao Qishui couldn't take out 450,000 yuan in cash all at once, and he didn't know why it had to be 450,000 yuan. It was already evening and the bank was closed.
Moreover, he didn't know that He Shu had told the kidnappers that he had given him the demolition compensation, and he didn't think about He Shu's demolition compensation.
He just thought that the kidnappers kidnapped He Shu because they wanted to ask him for money, and he felt full of guilt.
Teacher Li Mei reminded him to call the police. With this phone call, he had no choice but to file a case.
But Zhao Qishui hesitated: "What if I call the police and they kill Xiaoshu?"
Zhao Qishui shook off Teacher Li's obstruction and hurried to prepare money. He planned to withdraw all the money he could from his home and cards, and then find someone to borrow from, even if he had to mortgage his store...
Seeing this, Li Mei knew that Zhao Qishui was distracted, so she pulled Xia Miao to accompany her to the police station.
