When Li Rui heard this, he realized that even though she had been smiling when he rejected the man in white's provocation, she still looked down on him. He was secretly annoyed and said, "I don't dare to drive your motorcycle because I don't want to play street games with you. Do you really think I don't have the guts to drive it? And what does that have to do with rescuing a kidnapping case? Let me tell you, I have a lot of experience in rescuing kidnappers. At least, compared to ordinary people like you, I have a lot of experience. "
Mu Shuang looked at him in disbelief, as if she was looking at a three-year-old child bragging that he could fly a plane.
Li Rui said patiently, "If you don't believe me, we can try. At least I'll be more powerful if I go with you than if you go alone, right? "
Mu Shuang sighed faintly. "What's the use of being more powerful? Do you think the two of us can deal with the kidnappers? I wanted to call the police, but I was afraid that the kidnappers would be alarmed. If they killed the hostage, then my father … "
Li Rui tugged at her arm and walked out. "Let's get on the car and hurry! Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I won't do something I'm not confident in. "
Mu Shuang thought about it and agreed. Seeing that he really didn't seem to be afraid and acted decisively, she believed him for the time being. She chased after him and asked, "What should we do?"
Li Rui said quickly, "Let's get on the car and rush to the scene. You can tell me what's going on."
The two ran out of the hotel and got on the motorcycle. Mu Shuang was about to refuel when the phone in her pocket vibrated. Her expression changed instantly. She took out her phone and looked at the caller ID. Her expression softened a little. She raised her hand to answer the call and spoke a few sentences in Cantonese before hanging up.
"My father's bodyguard, Brother Li, also knows about the situation. He just called me to ask about it. I told him to go to the house to check on the situation and wait for me to arrive."
Mu Shuang turned around and explained the reason for the call to Li Rui. After that, she refueled, but the starting speed wasn't fast.
Li Rui didn't care about the existence of this so-called bodyguard, Brother Li. He asked, "What's the situation? Tell me quickly." As he spoke, he held her waist tightly. He was already very familiar with this set of actions. As long as he got on the car, he would do it subconsciously. He no longer thought about whether it would be embarrassing or not. After all, compared to the embarrassing appearance of falling off the car, this was still better looking.
Mu Shuang said, "The reason why I'm driving so slowly is to tell you something. The first call was from my dad, but it wasn't his usual phone number. It was the SIM card number stored in the emergency alarm device, EAW, on his wrist. When I first picked up the call, I didn't look at the caller ID, so I didn't know who was calling. But after I picked up the call, I could hear my dad's voice in the background. He seemed to be a little far away from the phone. Only then did I know that something was wrong. I took the phone down and looked at it. Only then did I realize that it was the phone number on the emergency alarm device. "
Li Rui moved his head closer to her shoulder and tried to get as close to her ear as possible. He asked, "And then?"
Mu Shuang said, "When I listened again, I heard my dad say, 'Meiping, why did you do this? I like you so much.' He also said, 'You actually colluded with outsiders to kidnap me. You've disappointed me.' This sentence was probably meant for me and Brother Li because he knew that this call would be made to us. Then, Bai Meiping's voice rang out in the background. She said, 'I can only say that you've misjudged me. I'm here for your money. If you don't want to die, transfer 30 million to us immediately!' There was also a stranger who said, 'If you transfer the money now, we'll let you go. We want money, not your life. If you refuse, we can only take you away and ask for more ransom from your daughter. I believe that she'll give in easily.' "
Li Rui frowned as he listened. He asked, "Who is Bai Meiping?"
Mu Shuang said, "My father met her at a private banquet hosted by a wealthy man. She claimed to be the widow of a well-known wealthy businessman. She was noble, elegant, beautiful, and very talkative. My father was attracted to her as soon as he met her and started to pursue her crazily. Last month, he established a preliminary relationship with her and was proposing to her. He planned to get engaged on her birthday … but he didn't expect her to be a liar. Uh … no, she's a kidnapper. She must have been fishing at that banquet. Anyway, those who could attend that banquet were all wealthy people. She could have kidnapped anyone she hooked for a large sum of money. My poor father was dazzled by her beauty and fell for her trap in a daze. However, he wasn't that stupid. After discovering Bai Meiping's identity, he secretly activated the EAW system on his wrist and called the police to me and Brother Li. Otherwise, no one would have known that he had been kidnapped. "
After she finished explaining the situation, she began to speed up and rushed home as fast as she could.
Li Rui rested his chin on her shoulder and said loudly, "So, there are two kidnappers. Bai Meiping is one of them, and the stranger she brought in?"
"It should be!"
Li Ruixin thought that if there were only two kidnappers, it would be easy to deal with them. He and his bodyguard, Brother Li, should be able to deal with a man and a woman. The premise was that the other party didn't have any dangerous weapons in their hands, such as pistols. He still needed to go to the scene and observe to be sure. He could only hope that Mu Shuang's father could stall the two kidnappers and buy him some time to rescue them. Of course, if Old Mu couldn't stand the threat and had already transferred 30 million yuan to Bai Meiping and the stranger, they would have already run away. Then, he, Mu Shuang, and Brother Li wouldn't be able to help. Mu Shuang could only call the police and let them chase after the two kidnappers. But then, Old Mu would be safe, which was an acceptable result.
His thoughts were running wild, while Mu Shuang was focused on driving. The two of them dashed left and right in the city on the dazzling red motorbike. They didn't know which direction they were going. After driving for about ten minutes, they passed through a city area made up of high-rise buildings. The city buildings in front of them suddenly became low and sparse. They were surrounded by rivers and green trees. The environment was quiet and very beautiful. It was like a paradise, which was incompatible with the bustling and fashionable metropolis.
Mu Shuang drove into this elegant place. After passing through a few streets that were not wide, she stopped at the northwest corner of a crossroad. A black Toyota was already parked there. A majestic man was peeping at a mansion in the northwest direction from the sidewalk. The mansion wasn't small.
The courtyard was not small. Just the southern wall alone was fifty meters long. There was a gate tower at the entrance, and there was a small gatehouse behind the gate. Looking in through the black iron flower-style fence, there were flowers and trees everywhere, and there was even a swimming pool in the courtyard. The water in the pool was dark blue. In the depths of the courtyard, there were three small European-style buildings of different heights and shapes. The eastern and western buildings were facing each other, and the lights in the rooms in the buildings were off. In the middle of the two buildings was a large three-story villa with a unique design, and the lights were still bright.
The sound of Mu Shuang's motorbike alarmed the peeping man. He looked back and recognized Mu Shuang. He quickly greeted her and said in a low voice, "Miss, you're here!"
"Brother Li!"
Mu Shuang stopped the motorbike by the roadside and asked with some dissatisfaction, "Why are you outside tonight? Shouldn't you be staying inside? "
Brother Li was extremely apologetic as he explained, "Tonight, Sister Ping … No … It's Bai Meiping. She bought me a box of high-end bird's nest and asked me to bring it home to make soup for the two elders. The boss agreed, so I listened to her and went home. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have left the boss' side even if I was beaten to death. "After he finished speaking, he saw Li Rui. He was immediately stunned and started to size him up.
Mu Shuang sighed and said, "There's no point in saying this now. Did you notice anything?" Seeing that he was sizing up Li Rui, she introduced, "This is my friend, Li Rui. He's here to help."
Li Rui heard and greeted, "Hello, Brother Li." This Brother Li was about thirty-six or thirty-seven years old. He had short hair and a square face. He was about 1.78 meters tall, which was just the right height. He had a strong back and a bear waist. He was very majestic. Although he was not handsome, he was very strong. The muscles on his arms were firm and bulging. His hands were wide and thick. One look and one could tell that he was a martial artist. It should be easy for such a strong man to deal with five or six ordinary people with his bare hands.
Brother Li saw that Li Rui was quite tall, but men of his height were everywhere, so it was not rare. He did not seem to have any strength, and his temperament was not fierce. How could he deal with the fierce kidnappers? He frowned and said, "Miss, I don't know if you heard it when you received the emergency call from the boss, but the male accomplice that Bai Meiping brought home has a gun. Bai Meiping may also carry a gun or a knife. It's very dangerous. It's not a joke. You and Brother Li better stay away. Leave everything here to me."
Li Rui saw the look in Brother Li's eyes and knew that he was looking down on him. He was also amused by his words. He thought to himself, No one knows what's going on here. How can I leave everything to you? Are you confident that you can save Old Mu?
Mu Shuang shook her head nervously and said, "I didn't hear it. I realized that my dad was in danger before I finished listening. I hurriedly hung up and rushed back … Brother Li, how long have you been here? Have the kidnappers left? Is my dad safe? "
Brother Li said, "I just arrived …" As he spoke, he pointed to the main entrance of the manor not far away in the west and said, "Do you see the Audi A6 without a license plate parked at the entrance? That should be the car that the kidnappers drove. It hasn't left yet, so they probably haven't come out yet. If they are still inside, the boss is still in danger. "
Mu Shuang's expression changed drastically. She asked worriedly, "Brother Li, do you have any good ideas?"
