After an unknown amount of time, I opened my eyes on the bumpy van.
It was completely dark outside the window and there were no street lights. We should have already left the city and were heading towards the wilderness.
I wanted to move my limbs, but I was surprised to find cold handcuffs on my hands. The metallic sensation made me completely wake up.
"Boss, that brat woke up!"
Someone in the passenger seat of the van spoke, but the tall man only responded casually and did not turn around.
I looked at Gong CaiCai, who was sitting next to me and was unable to move under the fierce gaze of the short and sturdy masked man. I began to recall the entire incident with my dull brain.
Speaking of which, it seems like I was kidnapped! There's no justice in this world! What are you kidnappers trying to do? Do you want to blackmail Ai ShuQiao? You won't even know how you died!
But if I think about it carefully, the kidnappers' target should be Gong CaiCai. I was only kidnapped because I was obstructing them.
As I gradually woke up, like a black reef after the tide receded, a question suddenly appeared in my mind — — how is the class leader? If I was kidnapped with Gong CaiCai, then where is the class leader? Is she injured?
Gong CaiCai did not have any ropes or handcuffs on her. She was probably petrified a long time ago. Being stared at by the kidnappers, she was like a little white rabbit being stared at by a cobra. She completely forgot to resist and escape, which really made things easier for the criminals.
It was unrealistic to ask Gong CaiCai about the class leader's situation like this, so I could only look at the short and sturdy man who was guarding Gong CaiCai and me.
As a result, before I could even open my mouth, he fiercely yelled:
"Don't move! You're really ruthless, it's all your fault, our third brother was trapped there! "
After his reminder, I suddenly remembered what happened before I fainted.
There were originally four kidnappers in the van. When the tall kidnapper — — who was their boss — — and the short and sturdy man attacked me from the front and back, the monkey-like third brother also got off the van and wanted to kidnap the class leader.
Even though I was punched from behind, I wasn't heavily injured. Instead, I was enraged. When I was adjusting my posture, I saw the monkey bro trying to grab the class leader's clothes, so I used the bow in my right hand to stab his collarbone.
Ha, it happened to be at the junction between the neck and the shoulder. His whole tongue was sticking out!
Perhaps it was also a coincidence that my Solitary Nine Swords, which focused on attacking the enemy's weakness, had an immediate effect. Before the monkey-faced brother could do anything, he fell to the ground, unable to breathe properly. When he fell to the ground, his head even hit the root of the street lamp. As the saying goes, there is no such thing as the most unlucky, only more unlucky.
Under the sudden change, the class leader quickly calmed down with a maturity that surpassed her age. She clearly determined that the enemy was outnumbered and that they were outnumbered.
She wasn't good at close combat, so her first instinct was to increase the distance. Reason told her: The best choice right now was to run to the gate of Qing Zi Academy and ask for help from the security guards. But that would leave me and Gong CaiCai to face the kidnappers, so she hesitated for a moment.
"Save …" Gong CaiCai couldn't finish the sentence with a hoarse voice. For her, being able to say half a note was already a huge improvement.
"Don't worry about us! Go find help! "
I yelled at the class leader. It didn't matter if the kidnappers mistook Gong CaiCai as a rich second generation from Qing Zi Academy, getting the money should be their first goal. Also, the three people who got off the van were empty-handed, so it didn't seem like they were going to use lethal force.
That's why asking for help from the security guards was the most rational decision. If I could stall for time until the security guards arrived, then Gong CaiCai and I would be safe.
After the class leader heard my words, she bit her lips and turned around to run towards the gate of QingZi Academy. I felt a handkerchief covering my nose and mouth from behind. Along with the smell of some chemicals, an extreme feeling of drowsiness came over me and made me close my eyes.
Before I closed my eyes, I saw the class leader call over the security guards of Qing Zi Academy. The sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks bro hit his head and didn't listen to his boss. Instead, he chased after the class leader. In the end, the security captain twisted his arm and captured him alive.
The remaining three had no choice but to throw me and Gong CaiCai into the van and quickly fled the scene.
It seems that although they kidnapped me and Gong CaiCai as hostages, their accomplice was also captured. They kidnapped Gong CaiCai to extort money, and kidnapped me to exchange hostages? In short, the situation wasn't very unfavorable for us.
With the class leader's report, the news of us being kidnapped must have already reached Ai Mi and Peng TouSi's ears. It's not hard to imagine that Ai Mi's bodyguards have already started tracking the van. They have practiced countless times in America on how to rescue Ai Mi if she was kidnapped, so they can definitely be considered professionals.
If 004 or 005 was leading the team, I might still be a bit worried. But now that Peng TouSi is back, he's in charge of the overall situation, and he also has a captured criminal to interrogate for information. I don't think the kidnappers have a chance.
For me, the most important thing is to stabilize the three people in the van. I don't want them to do stupid things like kill and dump the body, or kill the hostages without getting the ransom.
In addition, the bodyguard Ai ShuQiao arranged for me, Kamakura, once again failed in his duties. I don't know where he was when I was kidnapped.
With the help of the faint starlight, I looked at the front windshield of the van. My and Gong CaiCai's cell phones were stacked under the glass. Both of our phones were turned off. The kidnappers clearly wanted to drive to a safe place and then find our family and friends' contact information from our phones.
Speaking of which, my phone was in backdoor mode before it was turned off (because I forgot to switch back to 'Heartbeat Quiz' when I was in the bathroom). Did Professor Bai from the Scientific Happiness Sect eavesdrop on me and try to send someone to rescue me? At least he could use his phone to locate me, right?
I just don't know how long it took for the kidnappers to find my phone and turn it off while I was unconscious. If it was turned off earlier, Professor Bai probably wouldn't be able to do much.
"You kidnapped the wrong people! We're not even students from QingZi Academy! "I wanted to get information from the kidnappers.
The short and stout man sitting across from me and Gong CaiCai raised the black object in his hand. I was surprised to find out it was a pistol, but I don't think he would dare to shoot in a closed van. Maybe it's a toy gun, or it's loaded with rubber bullets.
The boss who was driving in the front spoke at this time: "I don't care if you two are students from QingZi Academy, but there's definitely someone rich between the two of you! I don't care if you two are students from QingZi Academy, but there's definitely someone rich between the two of you! You actually used it as a weapon to hit my head, either you don't know what's good or you don't care about money … "
Okay! Ai Mi, you screwed me over this time! You insisted on giving the violin to Gong CaiCai, but you ended up getting yourself into trouble! The four kidnappers who originally planned to kidnap students from QingZi Academy changed their target when they saw I was holding a valuable violin and Gong CaiCai looked like a well-bred girl from head to toe!
Wait! The voice sounds a bit familiar, could it be that the boss of the kidnappers is someone I know? But he was driving in the front and didn't take off his mask like the other two, so I couldn't confirm who he was.
The kidnapper sitting in the passenger seat seemed to be the younger one, he was the fourth of the group. When he heard this, he said to the boss in a very excited tone:
"Boss! Is that violin really worth 200 thousand RMB? If a musical instrument is worth that much, it looks like we'll be able to make a killing! "
The boss turned the steering wheel and drove the van onto the uneven dirt road, then he replied:
"When we get to the temporary hideout, we'll first figure out which one of them is the owner of the violin, then we can determine which one is our money tree — — of course, it would be even better if both of them are children from rich families."
"Will Lao San give up our temporary hideout?" The short and stout man asked worriedly, "His lips aren't tight enough …"
"Don't worry, I'll drive to a secret hideout that no one knows about other than me."
The van drove into a grassy wasteland with a jolt. I had already completely lost my sense of direction, I only knew that this was most likely the outskirts of DongShan city, otherwise the stars in the sky wouldn't be so bright.
"We're here, let's get out!"
After the van drove for another 15 minutes, Gong CaiCai and I were pushed out of the van. This was a wide meadow that protruded out from behind a mountain rock. The green grass with a hint of yellow reached our ankles, and there were a few wild apple trees in between. The protruding angle of the mountain rock didn't make people feel unsafe, and it could also be used to block the rain.
Along the way, I confirmed from the conversation of the kidnappers that the three of them only had one pistol. It was stolen from the armed police's warehouse and there were only six rubber bullets inside.
However, rubber bullets were not as safe as their name suggested. According to my dad, rubber bullets could also kill people if they were shot at the target's vital parts at close range. In the many years of conflict between Palestine and Israel, more than 60 Palestinian civilians were killed by rubber bullets. For this reason, Israel had abandoned the use of rubber bullets and changed to the safer sand bullets.
I didn't try to resist under the threat of the pistol and obediently let the kidnappers tie us back to back under an apple tree with Gong CaiCai. Then, I paid attention to the direction of the gun in the short and stout man's hand while thinking about how to escape.
