Fu Xi and Gong Hao hugged each other and fell asleep on the sofa.
RING. RING.
A hurried ringtone sounded. Fu Xi woke up and subconsciously picked up the phone. Mother Fu’s sorrowful voice came from the receiver.
“Xi’er, your father has been kidnapped!”
“Kidnapped?”
Fu Xi turned over and sat up. It was as if she had been splashed with a basin of cold water, and her mind immediately cleared up.
“Mom, take it easy. Tell me what happened.”
“The kidnapper called me. He even turned on the video. Your father was indeed kidnapped.”
Mother Fu cried and explained what had happened.
It turned out that Father Fu had gone to the mall in the morning and was attacked when he went out. The other party had charged at him and taken him hostage to an abandoned warehouse.
The kidnappers even told Mother Fu to look for Fu Xi and Gong Hao.
Fu Xi comforted her mother and hung up the phone, frowning.
Gong Hao was also woken up. He roughly heard what happened and hugged her from behind.
“Not so fast. Since the kidnappers specifically asked for us, they’ll be in touch.”
“Yeah.”
Fu Xi responded and heard Gong Hao’s phone ring. It was an unfamiliar number.
The two of them knew what to do. Gong Hao picked up the call and pressed the speakerphone. A rough man’s voice came from the other end.
“Gong Hao, your father-in-law is in my hands. You’re not allowed to call the police. I’ll give you an hour to bring 500 million to the western suburbs.”
Then the line went dead.
Fu Xi clenched her fists and forced herself to calm down.
“Five hundred million. They have quite an appetite.”
“Go ahead and raise the money. I’ll lock in their exact location.”
Based on the earlier call, he quickly zeroed in on the IP address. The kidnapper’s location was in the largest abandoned warehouse in the western suburbs. He immediately used a satellite to get a head count.
