Chapter 18: Burning bridges across rivers
New Territories North.
In a remote abandoned hut in Sheung Shui.
Cheng Long and Lei Zhilan were back to back and tightly tied together with ropes.
After suddenly experiencing such an experience, Lei Zhilan's face was full of panic. At the same time, she inevitably complained about Cheng Long. This bodyguard's adaptability was really weak and his observation skills were average, but if she wanted to blame him, he would cover his face. He was scolded and a little too harsh.
Because she knew very well that she had just been kidnapped. In fact, because she used her bodyguard as a follower, it was really difficult for Aaron to deal with emergencies when he was carrying large and small bags in both hands and holding the keys to open the door.
After all, Aaron himself is an amateur, not a professional bodyguard or a highly vigilant soldier.
"Aaron, are your legs okay?"
Lei Zhilan's unruly and willful nature was actually a result of growing up, getting what she wanted, and being accustomed to the flattery of people around her.
In essence, Sister Lei is actually a good girl with a kind heart.
Otherwise, she would not have become a couple of thieves with Gao Tianli in the original future trajectory.
This girl really doesn't care about money. No matter how much she robs, she will use it to relieve the poor.
"The bleeding has stopped and it's much better."
The incision on Cheng Long's left leg was quite serious for ordinary people. If he wanted to stop the bleeding, he had to go to the hospital to be bandaged and sutured. After all, Xiaosha's stab was so deep that the blade was halfway in.
But such a wound actually started to stop bleeding and heal on the road.
The wound was numb and felt quite comfortable, but it was a little itchy.
The Killing Art is more powerful than he imagined. Not to mention that it can operate independently, it can also repair injuries during the exercise. When the physical strength is exhausted, it can also stimulate potential and strengthen the body.
This was only the second level of Qi training, which was in the early stage of Qi training. As long as he could hold on in the early stage and avoid provoking powerful gangsters, from now on... that would be the tough gangsters praying day and night not to be targeted by him.
"The bleeding has stopped, right?"
laugh!
Wearing a black hood, only a pair of eyes were exposed. Hearing Cheng Long's words to Lei Zhilan, he suddenly came to him again.
This time, it was the right leg that was stabbed!
"Hiss~~"
Cheng Long gasped in pain.
This bastard Xiaosha’s intention of burning bridges by crossing the river should not be too obvious.
When the kidnapping was carried out before, it could be used to intimidate Lei Zhilan and cover it up as a last resort. Now, this time, it is an out-and-out burning of bridges.
Xiaosha made it clear that he wanted to devour his share and monopolize 90% of it.
Cheng Long was stabbed in both legs. Even if he was not tied up, he would not pose a threat to Xiao Sa and Dao Scar.
In their hearts, he has become a lamb to be slaughtered.
However, they didn't even expect that Cheng Long was not an ordinary person, but a demon cultivator with magical powers. To him, the knife wounds that could make ordinary people lose their ability to fight were just superficial wounds.
"Asshole, we are all kidnapped, why do you still hurt people?" Lei Zhilan yelled angrily. The kidnappers are so unethical, and they may break up the fight at some point.
This is not a good sign.
"We just buy insurance to be on guard against any eventuality."
Xiaosha wiped the dagger with his sleeve and said calmly: "Miss Lei, I heard that your father is very good at making money. He has made one to two billion. Let's give him one hundred million to spend. Isn't that excessive?"
"..."
Lei Zhilan was stunned.
Do all kidnappers today have such a big appetite?
She asked for 100 million, not to mention that her father only had more than 2 billion in total assets. Even if he doubled it three to five times, he wouldn't be able to get it out in a while!
Total assets are not deposits. They also include real estate, stocks and funds. It takes a lot of time to convert these into money.
The circulating funds of Lei's Enterprise may not be as large as those of a medium-sized shopping mall.
The millions accountant Gao Tianli handles every day, after being deposited into his bank account, will be withdrawn within a few days and used for other purposes.
"What do you mean by looking at me blankly?" Xiaosha said angrily.
"Brother Robber, 100 million is too much. My family runs a real estate company, not a retail group that operates shopping malls or restaurants. We don't have that much liquidity..." Lei Zhilan put away her idiot-like eyes and said cautiously: "According to my estimation, my dad can withdraw up to 30 million in cash in a short period of time."
"Only 30 million? I don't even offer discounts on products that are due as hard as you. At least 50 million, otherwise I will give up." "Brother, call."
Scar reached out and handed over a mobile phone.
Xiaosha looked at Lei Zhilan fiercely and asked, "What's your home phone number?"
"77..." Lei Zhilan reported it wisely.
After the call was connected, Lei Youcai's deep voice came over.
"Hello~~"
"Mr. Lei, I'm really sorry to bother you so late, but your daughter is in my hands now..."
When he heard the chic voice at first, Lei Youcai was very impatient and even wanted to hang up the phone. However, when he heard that his daughter was in the hands of the other party, his nervousness instantly rose to his throat.
"Who are you? Why did you kidnap my daughter?"
"The purpose of kidnapping is to seek money, of course. You can't go on a hard trip just to enjoy a few minutes, right?"
Although Xiaosha really wanted to try the taste of being the daughter of a rich family, it was a pity that he didn't have the money yet, so he had to take his time, otherwise he would easily fall short.
Of course, even if he gets tens of millions in ransom, he would not dare to do anything arbitrarily. Lei Youcai is just a daughter, so it is no problem to extort tens of millions. If he takes the money to quarrel or even insults Lei Zhilan, then Lei Youcai will definitely go crazy. , he would spend a lot of money to buy his and Scar's heads, even if he lost everything.
Ordinary people would dare to kill someone for tens of thousands of dollars.
Not to mention more than two billion?
If this money is spread out, killers all over the world will take notice.
Being cool is also scary!
"Asshole, if you dare to bully my daughter, even if you run away to the ends of the world, endless people will come out to hunt you down. For my daughter, I will go bankrupt."
Lei Youcai said such harsh words without hesitation.
An impressive person who can run a real estate company can do it without some means.
The harsh words were not hysterical, but a warning to the kidnapper that it was okay to extort money, but never to hurt his daughter.
Dragons have reverse scales, which will kill anyone who touches them. No one is exempt.
"Mr. Lei, please rest assured that your daughter is safe now..."
"I want to say a few words to her."
Before Xiaosha could finish speaking, Lei Youcai interrupted forcibly.
The momentum of the big boss was revealed inadvertently.
"Okay." Xiaosha nodded, turned around and handed the elder brother to Lei Zhilan.
"Hey~~Dad, I'm fine, but Aaron was stabbed twice by them and was seriously injured..." Before Lei Zhilan could finish her words, her eldest brother was snatched back by Xiaosha.
Then, when he saw Xiaosha, he turned around and walked to the window and said slowly: "Mr. Lei, we just want to ask for money. As long as you cooperate well, Miss Lei will be safe."
"Okay, okay, how much do you want?"
Lei Youcai nodded repeatedly.
As long as his daughter is safe, he doesn't care about other people.
Not only that, he even blamed Cheng Long in his heart for being incompetent and allowing his precious daughter to be kidnapped. He was simply a waste and looked useless.
I fired this bastard later!
"Not much, fifty million is enough. You have more than two billion, so you won't be willing to give even this little money, right?"
Lei Youcai hesitated for a moment and said: "I have 50 million, but it will take two days to raise it. If it is 30 million, I can arrange for people to give it to you tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay, just 50 million. I'll give you two days. Don't do any tricks, otherwise Miss Lei will be dead."
"No, no, I am just a daughter like Zhilan, I will definitely not play tricks."
