The speed of the US-made GMC's truck was astonishing, far surpassing that of ordinary trucks. The huge truck head was wrapped in a thick bumper. After it barged out of the street, it quickly entered the highway.
Someone in the local neighborhood called the police and found a group of armed criminals. However, when the police asked for the license plate numbers, the person who called the police realized that the two trucks didn't seem to have license plates!
They could only rely on the appearance of large trucks to carry out the search, but the efficiency was pitifully low. After all, it would take a long time to immediately block the highway around the city, not to mention that the resulting traffic congestion and economic losses were definitely not something that the police could easily handle.
Inside the large container, after Yang Cheng and the other two took out their phones, they realized that there was no signal in the truck at all. This meant that the criminals were quite well-mannered to cut off the communication signal in some way.
"What should we do? Where are they taking us? Are they going to kill us in the wild? " Tangtang was a girl after all. No matter how mischievous she was usually, she was still afraid at a time like this.
Yuan Ye comforted her with concern, "Don't be afraid, Tangtang. I'll protect you. I won't let them hurt you."
"How are you going to protect me? Don't you see that they have guns? Are you going to act like a martyr and block the muzzle for me? "Tangtang said dejectedly.
In the dim yellow light, Yuan Ye was silent for a while, then he said with a burning gaze, "I will. If they really point their guns at you, I'll block in front of you. Even if the bullet hits you, it has to go through my body first!"
Yuan Ye's words were extremely sincere and clear, as if he was making a promise with his life as the price. It was as generous as when he promised Tangtang's other small requests.
Tang Tang stared at Yuanye in a daze for a long time before bursting into laughter. Her fear was swept away. "Brother Yuanye, you're too much. Who asked you to cover the muzzle? Besides, why would they do that? They'll only shoot at your body. Won't they shoot at your back?"
"I … I'm serious," Yuan Ye blushed a little, but he didn't know how to express his true thoughts in a moment of desperation.
Tangtang reached out her white and tender little hand to block Yuan Ye's mouth and made a "shush" gesture. "Don't say such things. It's quite uncomfortable."
Yuan Ye was stunned by Tangtang's sudden gentle tone, and then he responded softly.
Listening to the innocent and touching conversation between the young couple, Yang Cheng sighed. It seemed that his interaction with Lin Ruoxi was not as close as that of a married couple.
"If they really let us get out of the car and feed us bullets, they'll be considered sympathetic. I'm just afraid that they won't kill us by shooting us," Yang Cheng said.
Yuan Ye and Tangtang asked in confusion, "Then what are they doing?"
"For example, they could throw the entire container into the middle of the sea and throw us into it along with the car. Or they could throw a few grenades into the container and blow us up inside." Yang Cheng casually thought of two methods and said, "In this case, it's more direct and effective than shooting us. There's no trace of us."
Yuan Ye and Tangtang's scalp went numb when they heard that. Yuan Ye even slapped his thigh, "If I knew this would happen, I would have brought more bodyguards with me. I thought driving such an ordinary car wouldn't attract any attention."
"No, we won't die so easily. They must have other motives for capturing us. Besides, if we disappear, Brother Yuan Ye, your family will look for us once they find out. They won't get away with it so easily!" Tangtang calmed down a little.
Yang Cheng asked, "How many enemies do your two families have? I've seen Tangtang being kidnapped and attacked twice. Does your Yuan family have enemies too?"
Yuan Ye shook his head and said with a frown, "If we really want to talk about enemies, then we have a lot of them. Uncle Fang's Fang Family and our Yuan Family have a lot of people who hate us to the bone in Zhonghai. Even many families from other provinces have grudges with us. But no one dares to have a falling out with us so blatantly. If they really do that, it'll be a life-and-death struggle. So I also don't understand who would be so impatient to use this method to kidnap us. "
"It's really not easy to be rich …" Yang Cheng nodded in understanding.
As the three of them discussed, the car finally seemed to stop. After the iron door behind the container was lowered, the few gun-wielding men directed Yang Cheng and the other two to get out of the car.
With so many submachine guns pointed at them, the three of them naturally didn't think too much about it. After getting out of the car, they discovered that they were actually surrounded by a small empty dock.
In a coastal city like Zhonghai, there were too many small docks at the estuary, not counting the scattered islands at the estuary. Most of them were already abandoned, but the government's unified planning hadn't been able to close these docks in time.
"Where is this?" Yuan Ye asked Yang Cheng.
"How would I know? I haven't even been back for a year." Yang Cheng said.
A man pointed a gun at Yuan Ye's back, "What are you talking about! Let's go! "
Under the threat of seven or eight gun-wielding men, the three of them could only follow them to the unloading warehouse at the side of the dock. There were also many small speedboats docked at the seaside. Obviously, they were well prepared for the sea route.
The big iron door of the warehouse was pushed open from the inside. It was also a gun-wielding man. After the three of them walked in, he immediately closed the iron door. He didn't send anyone to stand guard outside. From the outside, it didn't look special at all.
Inside the huge warehouse, because of years of disrepair, there was a moldy smell everywhere. The metal was rusty, making people feel that the entire frame would collapse at any time.
Yang Cheng discovered that the number of criminals in the entire warehouse was no less than twenty people, and each of them was silent, like well-trained terrorists. They stood in a good position to monitor the entire warehouse.
The three of them were led to a corner of the warehouse. The leader pointed a gun at the three benches.
"Sit here obediently and don't move. Otherwise, I'll shoot you!"
After saying that, the three men rushed up and forced Yang Cheng and the other two to sit on the benches. They took out three sets of handcuffs and handcuffed the three of their hands.
Yang Cheng didn't resist. He knew that these people were just running errands. The real master would definitely appear later. Moreover, the other party didn't do anything to threaten the three of them, so he wasn't in a hurry to make a move.
Not long after, the iron door was opened again. A handsome man in a suit and tie walked in. Behind him was a hunchbacked man who was picking his nose as he walked.
Yang Cheng took a closer look and was a little surprised. He didn't expect it to be the master and servant, Xu Zhihong and Hairy Ball!
That day, Xu Zhihong and Zeng Xinlin lost everything because of Lin Ruoxi's scheme. The Zeng family withdrew from the hegemony of Zhonghai, and Xu Zhihong's Donghua Technology suffered heavy losses. They completely lost the ability to compete with Yu Lei in the future.
After that, Xu Zhihong seemed to be a lot more low-key, and no one heard any news about him. Who would have thought that as soon as he appeared, there would be a kidnapping scene on the streets.
As Xu Zhihong and Hairy Ball approached, they were evidently astonished as well. Seeing Yuan Ye and TangTang was within their expectations, but seeing Yang Chen sitting in the corner was completely out of their expectations!
"Mr. Yang, how have you been?" Xu Zhihong's eyes flashed with many emotions. He said with a fake smile, "I didn't expect Mr. Yang to be invited here as a guest."
Yang Cheng smiled and didn't say anything.
Hairy Ball laughed and said, "Boss, looks like this kid is destined to fall in our hands. We didn't want to mess with him, but he was captured by us!"
"Shut up!" Xu Zhihong frowned and scolded. He turned to Yuan Ye and Tangtang and said, "Young Master Yuan, Miss Fang of the Fang family, I'm Xu Zhihong. I believe both of you know who I am."
Yuan Ye stared at him angrily, "Xu Zhihong, your Xu family is also a reputable family in Zhonghai. Are you declaring war on the Yuan family and the Fang family by doing this!?"
"No, no, no. Yuan family and Fang family, one is the economic leader, the other is the political giant. Our Xu family is sandwiched in between, how would we dare to declare war on your elders?" Xu Zhihong hurriedly waved his hands to evade.
Although Tangtang had only met Xu Zhihong a few times, she was very familiar with the big families in Zhonghai. When she saw that the Xu family, who had nothing to do with her, suddenly kidnapped her, she screamed, "Xu Zhihong, you coward! You can't win in the business world, you can't enter the political world either. My father and the others won't let you go! "
Xu Zhihong didn't care at all. He sneered and said, "Miss Tangtang, Mr. Yuan Ye, although it's a little nonsense to tell you this, you don't seem to understand. Since I've come here personally and let you see me, it's obvious that I don't intend to leave a way out. "
"What do you mean, are you going to kill us!?" Yuan Ye asked anxiously, his body subconsciously moving in front of Tangtang.
Tangtang saw Yuan Ye's almost instantaneous movement and tears welled up in her eyes.
Xu Zhihong waved his finger, "Don't make it sound so bad. Actually, I don't like to see blood. Of course, my subordinates might like it. This time, I invited the two of you here mainly because it's Young Master Yuan Ye's birthday celebration. The elders of both families will be sitting together, so we don't have to inform them separately. Also, the economy is not doing well recently and the policies are not very fair to us. So, we plan to take this opportunity to have a good chat with your parents. With the two of you here, I believe the elders of your families will be happy to have a good chat with us. "
After saying that, Xu Zhihong sent someone to deliver a strange-looking, specially modified cordless phone.
"When the call is connected, your elders will definitely have a lot to ask the two of you. At that time, don't just cry, you have to say a few more words." Xu Zhihong squinted his eyes, his gaze like a sharp blade.
Yuan Ye and Tangtang were not stupid. They immediately understood Xu Zhihong's general purpose. They stared at Xu Zhihong fiercely, but they knew that scolding him was a waste of energy.
Yang Cheng had some doubts in his heart. Since Xu Zhihong had already stood up, it was clear that he planned to shed all pretense of cordiality and start a war with the Yuan and Fang families. The reason was nothing more than profit. After being plotted against by Lin Ruoxi, Dong Hua Technology was indeed not doing well. That was why Xu Zhihong was desperate and took the risk.
Yuan Ye was the only son of the Yuan family. For Yuan Ye's safety, it was very likely that the Yuan family would be slaughtered by Xu Zhihong. Tangtang implicated even more people. Just her father, who was the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, had great power.
However, if it was just the Xu family, then Xu Zhihong was a little too impatient. After all, after today's incident, there was no turning back. Today, regardless of whether Yuan Ye and Tangtang were safe or not, he would face the joint attack of the two big families! So, there must be people participating in the cooperation, and their strength was definitely not bad. Who would go to the Yuan and Fang families and carry out the activities on the other side?
At this moment, the specially modified phone rang.
