Chapter 634 Epic Meeting
"Hey, can you hear me?"
Chen Jinzhi held up his mobile phone with one hand and rolled up his cuffs with the other hand, revealing a section of his delicate wrist bones.
"Okay."
Wu Shaobo put out his cigarette butts and excitedly gave the next instructions.
"After you turn the next corner, you will see the fork in the road. I have changed the sign to the left. The routes above are all wrong. You can only follow my instructions."
He was quite proud when he said this, and it was obvious that this was one of the steps he had been planning these days.
Chen Jinzhi was indeed observing the route map on the sign. There was a draft planning map for the hot spring resort that was still under construction, as well as the design distribution of this large scenic area.
It looks decent. If you haven't paid close attention to the original map, you won't notice anything wrong with the replaced fake.
This will make the search and rescue operations of large forces more difficult.
Chen Jinzhi lowered his eyes and indeed observed that the soil under the sign was somewhat loose, which was obviously a sign that someone had pried it up and repositioned it.
"Go to the second fork ahead, keep going straight, and go to the right at the third fork."
Wu Shaobo continued to instruct while looking at the picture on the screen monitor.
The two people next to the Porsche were still arguing. Su Chengyi leaned against the car door and remained silent. The other person was obviously very excited and kept wandering back and forth in the camera, his face red and neck thick with anxiety.
Wu Shaobo has seen this kind of situation quite a lot.
Families who were supposed to unite to deal with the kidnappers often had internal strife, quarrels and even fights because of disagreements.
We can't blame them for being emotionally unstable, it's just that they often become confused and lose their sense of proportion when they care.
Wu Shaobo just didn't expect that even Su Chengyi would fall into such a vortex, and he found it even more funny for a while.
After a while, the two people in the surveillance room seemed to have lost the energy to argue. One person was still leaning on the hood of the car with his head lowered and thinking about something, while the other person sat down on the ground in the corner of the surveillance area and covered his face with his hands. .
At this time, Chen Jinzhi's voice came from the phone.
"I have reached the fourth intersection. There are only two branches. What next?"
Wu Shaobo blew out the smoke and looked away from the screen. Her walking speed was a little slower than he expected.
Very good, this means that she is actually hesitant in her heart. Although she took the initiative to embark on this path, maybe she has not thought about the choice at all.
Therefore, the closer she is to the finish line, the more torment she will feel inside and the heavier her steps will become.
Thinking of this, Wu Shaobo couldn't help but become more and more excited.
"This is the last intersection. Go left for about fifty meters, then go through the bushes and walk toward the three o'clock direction until you can reach the cement road. You will see a construction site.
Then, stand there and don't move, I will bring her to you. ”
Chen Jinzhi turned left as instructed. About fifty meters away, there was an unpruned bush that was almost half the height of a man. It was full of thorns and it didn't look like there was a path at all.
It was probably a design fallacy in the early stages of construction, and it was difficult for Wu Shaobo to even discover such unknown places.
Chen Jinzhi lowered his head and thought for a moment, wrapped his hands with his cuffs to avoid being scratched, then bent down to push aside the bushes and stepped on the free-growing thorny thorns under his feet.
There should be another way leading to where they are now.
Chen Jinzhi was thinking as he walked inside.
Otherwise, Wu Shaobo would not be able to drive the car in from here without leaving any traces of damage.
It's just that we may need to take a longer path, which may be the kind of dirt road used by the villagers at the foot of the mountain, and it won't be displayed on the navigation.
This could also explain why he had been driving for so long and the engine sound had hardly stopped.
Chen Jinzhi lowered his head and stepped on the thin thorn branches to make a dense cracking sound.
In this way, Wu Shaobo's course of action just now is also very clear.
He first disguised himself as a normal tourist vehicle, blended into the traffic and went down the mountain. Then he circled back from the dirt road on the other side and returned to the secret place he had planned.
In this way, neither surveillance nor investigation personnel would have a chance to discover anything unusual about him.
In this way, I have a rough inference in my mind, then.
Immersed in his thoughts, Chen Jinzhi suddenly felt a chill on the side of his face, and soon felt a slight sting.
She was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand and wiped it with her palm.
The bright red blood stains were particularly dazzling against the cyan veins in the palm of his hand.
I was not paying attention while walking and was cut by the thorns next to me.
Chen Jinzhi turned his head and saw the culprit's head wrapped around the tree with claws and claws, swaying in the wind.
Fortunately, it was just an ordinary thorn, not poisonous, and the wounds caused by it were relatively shallow.
There was no need to deal with it, so Chen Jinzhi covered the wound with his cuffs to simply stop the bleeding.
"Are we there yet?"
Wu Shaobo's urging came from the receiver.
Chen Jinzhi didn't answer. She held her breath and pushed through the last obstacle. It wasn't until she could see the concrete road at the exit in front that she calmed down her breathing and pressed the receiver to her ear.
"We're here."
"Great, I almost thought you regretted it temporarily and wanted to run away at this time. Do you have this idea? If so, I won't stop you now."
Wu Shaobo said in a half-joking tone:
"If a living person crawls into a forest like this, it will take several days for a professional search team to find him."
"You seem to be very experienced."
Chen Jinzhi pushed aside the branches and walked out of the dense forest where the sun never shone. He squinted his eyes slightly due to the sudden light.
Wu Shaobo's instructions were very precise. At this moment, what she was stepping on was no longer soft soil, but hard concrete.
Ants came out in droves and burrowed into the cracks in the concrete.
"Yes."
Wu Shaobo laughed and threw the cigarette butt out of the car window.
"At that time, I walked alone in this forest for four days and three nights before I crossed the border and came back. God knows how many people chased me and wanted to kill me."
"The reason why we are like this is because you stabbed your brother in the back."
Chen Jinzhi answered in a calm tone and did not listen to his misfortune or describe Yong's interest in the past.
Wu Shaobo sneered while holding a cigarette in his mouth, opened the car door and got out of the car, and immediately observed the surrounding situation completely.
The painstaking investigation turned out to be effective. Even the local villagers didn't know much about this abandoned dirt road. It was full of gravel and weeds, and it was impossible to tell it was a road. It was definitely not easy to find it. things.
Even if someone from the Chu family is lucky enough to find this place, it will most likely be after his plan is completed.
By then, whether he would be lucky enough to escape was no longer within his scope of consideration.
After confirming that it was correct, he turned around, opened the back seat door, and knocked on the roof cover to urge him.
"Get off."
Chu Qingmian gave him a cold look, as if she was unwilling to cooperate. From just now, her mood took a sharp turn. Wu Shaobo thought about it carefully and quickly understood why.
Yes, this young lady probably didn’t understand the terms of exchange he proposed until just now, because she heard the voice from the other side of the receiver.
It is normal to be unwilling to cooperate. How could such a kind-hearted person who is so great and bright and righteous and would generously lend a helping hand to a strange little beggar agree to let another person exchange his life?
However, it was obviously not up to her to make the decision.
Wu Shaobo took out the cigarette from his mouth, smiled with his teeth, and Sanbai's eyes suddenly showed a fierce light.
The sinister old wolf took off his disguise and finally revealed his original vicious face.
"Get out of the car. Or do you want me to drag her body over to see you now?"
These words were obviously more effective than other threats. Even though Chu Qingmian's mouth was sealed with tape, the rejection she blurted out was still conveyed well.
Because her hands and feet were tied, but she didn't want to show weakness and ask for help, she stubbornly moved to the car door with difficulty like a caterpillar.
"Sorry, I forgot."
Wu Shaobo pulled out a military dagger from his waist and cut the hemp rope binding his feet.
Although he was loosened, because he had been tied up for too long, his blood circulation was not smooth. At this moment, Chu Qingmian's calves were severely numb, and he had almost no feeling. It was difficult to even stand normally.
"I'll just stand here and wait. I won't move. Don't worry, don't embarrass her."
Chen Jinzhi on the other side of the receiver seemed to have guessed what was going on here and said calmly.
"Since you said so."
Wu Shaobo took a look at the time and agreed.
Chu Qingmian really wanted to talk, but unfortunately the tape was tightly wrapped around her. Even if she tried her best to speak, Chen Jinzhi could only hear a series of unclear "Uh-huh"s.
There wasn't much she wanted to say, it was just to tell her not to come over, to go quickly, to get out of here, and not to do anything stupid.
But I couldn't say a word.
Chu Qingmian gritted her teeth and got out of the car, her legs trembling as she tried to stand firm.
"Okay? Let's go."
Wu Shaobo walked around behind her and checked the hemp rope binding her hands.
The eldest lady's wrists were covered with bright red marks, which looked a bit shocking.
This is not an effect that can be achieved by simply tying it up. Probably, she struggled with it with all her strength.
"Should I call you stupid or smart? This is a deadlock. With your method, unless you grind your hands until you can see the bones, don't even think about it."
Wu Shaobo laughed, grabbed the other end of the rope, and held it in his hand.
Chu Qingmian turned her head away, as if she didn't want to listen to him.
The two walked past the wall blocking the car, crossed a half-renovated construction site, and saw the man standing quietly waiting in the distance.
Chen Jinzhi held his mobile phone in one hand and put the other hand in the pocket of his woolen coat, standing quietly like that.
Behind her there was only the sound of the howling wind.
She really came alone.
After realizing this, Chu Qingmian opened her eyes wide and was almost unwilling to take another step forward.
"Yeah!"
Despite the tape sealing it, she still uttered incomprehensible syllables anxiously.
Come on, don't come here, go on.
All Chu Qingmian could think of was this sentence, and her brain felt dizzy and painful as if it was congested.
Chen Jinzhi turned a deaf ear to her silent cry. She just maintained her posture and waited on the spot, her forehead hair was a little messy by the wind and fell between her eyebrows.
The distance between the two became closer and closer, and Chu Qingmian tried hard to look into Chen Jinzhi's eyes, trying to convey her plea through her eyes.
However, there was no panic in Chen Jinzhi's eyes, and there was even a warm smile.
Her eyes could really speak. Chu Qingmian froze on the spot, as if he heard her gentle voice reaching his ears through the wind.
She was saying, don't be afraid.
From the moment she realized she had been kidnapped, to facing the vicious criminals alone, to the moment she made the final decision and decided to face death calmly, she never had the urge to cry.
But at this moment, just looking at Chen Jinzhi from a distance, Chu Qingmian felt so sad that she was about to shed tears.
She still shook her head hard at the other party, unwilling to take any further step.
Wu Shaobo would not give her a chance to hesitate. The force of pushing and pulling was obviously several times greater than hers. No matter how much she resisted, the three of them finally reached a distance of about ten meters.
This is the most suitable distance for negotiation in Wu Shaobo's plan. He can advance, attack or retreat, and he is not afraid of any tricks played by the other party.
Under Wu Shaobo's instructions, Chen Jinzhi squatted down, put the cell phone at his feet, and kicked it a few meters away.
"Let her go first."
Chen Jinzhi raised his eyes, his expression and tone equally calm.
"Easy to say."
Wu Shaobo smiled and agreed. He was no longer worried that Chu Qingmian would run away, because now she only wanted to make the person on the other side run away.
In fact, if he raised his gun now, the two of them would definitely hit the gun in order for the other to survive.
Wu Shaobo let go of the rope in his hand and tore off the sealing tape along with it.
Chu Qingmian staggered two steps due to inertia, and choked several times because she was anxious to speak. She coughed until she couldn't even catch her breath, so she immediately said loudly:
"Don't come here, leave quickly, classmate Chen Jinzhi!"
It had been a long time since she graduated, but she was still used to this title and blurted it out subconsciously.
Chen Jinzhi was slightly startled. She was really not used to hearing it. She couldn't help but raised her lips at the unfamiliar sound of "classmate".
"Are you okay now? Are you injured anywhere?"
She answered quickly, but she didn't answer the question. It was not what Chu Qingmian wanted to hear at all.
"No, I'm not hurt. Don't do anything stupid. This has nothing to do with you. Just leave, please."
The torn tape and skinned cheeks stung even more when the biting mountain wind blew. Chu Qingmian didn't care about this and just begged.
She really couldn't imagine if Chen Jinzhi was injured or killed trying to save her.
"If you get into trouble trying to save me, I won't be able to survive. Classmate Chen Jinzhi, please promise me not to do this. I can't accept it."
Chu Qingmian's tears fell, flowing over the wounds on her face, burning with pain.
"It's okay, don't be afraid."
Chen Jinzhi curled his eyebrows. She was thin and fragile, standing in the wind as if she would disappear in the next second.
But with her gentle smile like that, Chu Qingmian inexplicably wanted to believe her words, believing that as long as she was here, everyone would be safe.
