Chapter 807 We are not Zhang Shihao, but we want to be Zhang Shihao

An hour ago, Wulin City, Fang Lin’s home.

"When will my son come back?" Fang Tiande sat on the sofa with a gloomy face.

"Mr. Fang, we have retrieved the video footage after your son was kidnapped. The car was found in a wasteland in the suburbs, but there was no one in the car. Our police are doing our best to track him down..." a man who looked like a leader comforted.

The Fang Lin family is relatively well-known in the martial arts world, so much so that even this leader is polite to them.

"No matter how much money they ask, as long as my son is fine." A well-maintained middle-aged woman next to her spoke hurriedly. She was Fang Lin's mother - Zhu Pingping.

"It's still unclear whether the other party is after money. It could be that Fang Lin has offended someone, or the two of them..." The leader who had just spoken shook his head.

"How could we offend anyone..." Zhu Pingping hesitated to speak.

It's impossible to do business without offending people. Just look at the last time when Fang Lin advanced to the next round in Happy Male Voice, and I don't know how many people he offended.

Fang Tiande next to him also didn't say anything. There are so many people who have been offended in the business world. If you tell the police about all the suspects, they will go to investigate them one by one. If this gets out, you will be out of business in the future.

"What should we do now? We can't just wait forever. Don't you have the Skynet system? You can catch the criminals immediately. Even if they run to the suburbs, as long as you keep checking door to door, the criminals will definitely move to another place." Fang Tiande looked at the man in front of him.

The man coughed and explained, "Boss Fang, although the camera coverage rate in the core area of ​​Wulin City has exceeded 90%, there is limited surveillance around rural roads and self-built houses in the countryside. In addition, the city has started to upgrade cameras because of the G2X Summit next year. This means that the kidnappers may happen to pass through the area that is being upgraded..."

"so what should I do now?"

"I think the kidnapper will call you soon, so make sure you keep the line open."

"Beep beep beep."

At this time, Fang Tiande's cell phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and answered, "Hello!"

"If you want your son to come back safely, bring 50 million in cash!"

"Fuck, you dare to tie me up!"

A man's voice was deliberately lowered on the phone. Fang Lin's yelling and the sound of fists hitting him could be heard one after another.

"Hehe, do you know how much 50 million is? How can I give you that much money all at once?" Fang Tiande smiled bitterly.

"Don't give me that. Your son always puts so much cash in the trunk, and now you tell me you have no money?"

"I'm not Li Kacheng, and you're not Zhang Shihao. Let's think of a new number." After all, Fang Tiande is a big boss in the business world, and he can remain calm when necessary.

However, he still felt a little regretful in his heart. He and Zhu Pingping spoiled Fang Lin rotten, giving him countless pocket money every time, which led to the disaster.

"Okay, then 30 million, no less. If you give me even one cent less, I won't let your son go. I'll tell you the transaction location when the time comes, remember not to call the police!"

After saying that, the phone was hung up.

"Leader, the time was too short and we couldn't track him down." At this time, a female police officer nearby shook her head.

But the next second, Fang Tiande received a text message that read: Xilu City.

"Xilu City? What place is that?" Fang Tiande asked in confusion.

"That's a county-level city under Xinlu. Could it be that the kidnappers have already left the world? Then is it too late for us to set up checkpoints on the highway... No, it might be a message used by the kidnappers to confuse us..." The man who was called leader by the female police just now touched his chin.

He is the head of the police station in Xihu District, Wulin City - Wei Liang.

"Xinlu is not too far from us. It only takes about 5 hours to drive there. So much time has passed..." the female police officer reminded.

"I think we should do as the kidnappers say. Let's prepare the money first to ensure my son's current safety. It's up to you to decide how to catch him. But, my son must not be allowed to suffer any harm!" Zhu Pingping interrupted the policewoman with red eyes.

Looking at the two people in front of him, Wei Liang could only nod.

The target of this kidnapping is not ordinary, and Wei Liang and Zhu Pingping are not ordinary people either.

However, 30 million in cash is not a small amount. If you want to take it out all at once, you need to communicate with the police and the bank.

The next day, in an old house in a field a few dozen kilometers east of Xinlu.

Fang Lin, tied up with hemp ropes, curled up in the corner. He was in pain all over from the beatings last night, and was now dozing off drowsily.

"Get up and eat!" A rough shout woke Fang Lin up. He struggled to open his swollen eyes and saw a dark and thin man walking in with a stainless steel bowl containing two mashed sweet potatoes.

Fang Lin opened his eyes dazedly after being woken up, and cursed at the kidnapper in front of him: "You dare to kidnap me, my family will definitely not let you go..."

Before he could finish his words, he was kicked several times.

A few minutes later, Fang Lin, with a bruised face and nose, sat on the ground in a daze, staring at the food in front of him without saying a word.

"Master, it's time to eat. What's the matter? Can't you get used to the country people's food?" The man who served the meal laughed.

"How can I eat if you tie me up?" After a long while, Fang Lin uttered a word.

"Ha, you're still thinking of trying to be smart and asking me to untie you? Dream on. The bowl is right on the ground, you can eat it or not." The man laughed and kicked the steel bowl on the ground.

"Then I won't eat. If you starve me to death, you won't get any money." Fang Lin leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.

"Hey, you kid are trying to play the game of hunger strike with me. I think you are just itching for trouble..." The tall and thin man picked up a broom next to him and wanted to hit him, but he was stopped by someone as soon as he raised his hand in the air.

The tall and thin man turned his head and saw the flat-headed man and the man with triangular eyes standing behind him.

"Okay, stop acting like a child. You haven't eaten since yesterday, and you must be starving. I'll untie you and let you eat first. Don't play any tricks." The man with the flat head squinted at Fang Lin in the corner, then waved to the tall and thin man.

After the rope fell to the ground, Fang Lin only felt numbness in his arm.

Compared to being beaten, he felt that being tied up was more torturous for him. Having his arms tied behind his back all night almost drove him crazy.

After moving around for a while, Fang Lin looked at the sweet potato on the ground and kicked it away in disgust. He pointed at the dishes on the table and said, "Don't try to put drugs in my food. I want to eat that."

Hearing this, the three of them sneered and hooked their fingers at him, not afraid that he would run away.

Fang Lin sat down on the wooden bench carelessly, and when he saw the three people picking up the food and putting it into their mouths, he began to wolf it down.

But after a few bites, he spit out the food in his mouth. "Hey, Mr. Fang doesn't look hungry." Triangle Eyes sneered.

"Is this food for human consumption? Your salt is free." Fang Lin wiped his mouth.

"Haha, what a spoiled guy. Let me ask you a question, why does the owner feed the camel a lot of salt before it crosses the desert?" Triangle Eyes picked up an empty bowl and poured a glass of water for Fang Lin.

Fang Lin didn't care whether the water had any problems or not, and drank it hastily. He asked in confusion, "How should I know? It's none of my business!"

"You came back from studying abroad, didn't you? You don't even know this common sense?"

"Well, you guys made sufficient preparations before the kidnapping and investigated me thoroughly." Fang Lin glared at the three of them angrily.

Triangle Eyes ignored his dissatisfaction and continued, "Eating a lot of salt in advance is to make camels drink more water. When camels take in a lot of salt, the osmotic pressure in their bodies will increase significantly, prompting them to drink water frantically. In this way, they will take in far more water than they normally need in a short period of time. This water is not only stored in the stomach, but also enters the blood and body tissues for the camels to slowly consume during their long desert journey. And if they don't eat salt, the camels will feel weak in their limbs..."

"Hey, you're telling me about the animal world?" Fang Lin interrupted the other person impatiently.

"I say this to make you understand that this is what we usually eat."

"You are camels?" Fang Lin held his stomach and laughed.

The three people who were mocked looked at each other, and the one with the triangular eyes spoke again: "The food we usually eat on the construction site is so salty. If we don't eat, we will have no strength! The food on your construction site is saltier than the other. You are just treating us like camels..."

"Okay, so you are workers in my company. Why did you tie me up? My father has never defaulted on workers' wages." Fang Lin became angry after hearing this.

"Why do we work so hard all year round and only get so little money, but you get to spend plenty of money without doing anything? I don't want to be a slave anymore. We are not Zhang Shihao, but if we want to be Zhang Shihao, we have to do something big!" The flat-headed man, who had been silent all this time, slapped the table.

"That's right, you drive a Ferrari and pick up girls every day, but you don't contribute anything to society. And those of us who contribute to society have to suffer every day. This is totally unfair."

"Opportunities are for those who are prepared. We want to make money now. We need to take action ourselves and become richer than others!"

The other two also echoed, and their tone was very much like the poor peasants who wanted to overthrow the landlords in the past.

"It doesn't matter, just let me go after you get the money." Fang Lin shrugged, then frowned and continued to eat. He was really hungry...

After dinner, Fang Lin was tied up again.

The three of them closed the door and went outside to smoke.

"You just mentioned camels and workers. I'm a little confused." The man with the flat head asked in a low voice as he lit a cigarette.

"We will definitely run away after taking the money, and the police will naturally investigate and track us. Of course, we have to leave some clues deliberately to confuse them..." Triangle Eyes looked at the house and turned back to explain.

"You are smart, otherwise we would not be able to escape from the martial arts world." The tall and thin man next to him patted his shoulder happily.

"Of course, I am the most educated among you." Triangle Eyes raised his head proudly.

Fang Lin in the room had also eaten his fill and was leaning against the wall, thinking.

What a bunch of idiots. They even said that camels eat a lot of salt so that they can drink a lot of water and store it in their bodies. It's obvious that they have never read an article.

Camels' kidneys and intestines can extremely concentrate urine and feces, reducing water loss. The fat in the hump will produce metabolic water when it is metabolized. Drinking more water will not be stored in the body of the camel. Excessive salt intake will lead to the need for more water to excrete, and will also increase the burden on the kidneys...

I graduated from a prestigious university, yet you still pretend to be an intellectual in front of me.

These stinky migrant workers really have a serious hatred of the rich. If you want money, just find a good family. Why do you kidnap me to make money? And they also say a lot of crooked theories. It's simply a fallacy.

At this moment, Fang Lin had a thousand horses galloping in his heart.

Although he usually only knows how to eat, drink, play music, and flirt with girls, his academic performance is still good. The theory of the camel eating salt proposed by the triangular-eyed guy just now is ridiculous to him.

But this made him even more certain that these people were just uneducated migrant workers.

I wonder if these people will kill me after taking the money? I know their identities, they will definitely kill me to silence me...

The more Fang Lin thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and suddenly he felt a chill down his spine.

Outside the room, the three were still chatting.

"This bastard is calling again. Should I answer it or not?" The man with the flat head looked at the number on the phone screen and couldn't help but look at the two people in front of him.

"Answer it, of course I have to." Triangle Eyes thought for a moment and took the phone. He pressed the answer button and asked, "Hello, Boss. What do you want to talk to us about?"

There was silence on the phone for a long time before a man's voice came out: "How is the matter going? I heard that the highway from Wulin to Xinlu is under inspection? What on earth are you doing?"

"Yeah, I accidentally made things worse..." Triangle Eyes answered in a relaxed tone.

"What? You kidnapped him and brought him to Xinlu? Didn't I tell you to just scare him? What are you doing?" A roar came from the phone.

"Boss, are you giving that little money to get rid of beggars? We are asking for a ransom of 30 million now, isn't that more than what you gave? We are all in the same boat now. If you don't want us to be caught by the police and give you up, you should arrange a way out for us..." The man with triangular eyes suddenly became serious.

"I TM..." The rest of the phone call was filled with the man's greetings to Triangle Eyes' family.

After a few minutes, the man with triangular eyes hung up the phone with a smile and returned the phone to the man with the flat head.

"It's done. We'll leave after we get the money."

"Do you think they will rob us and kill us?"

The tall and thin man said with some concern.

"No, if we died, the police would definitely think that there is someone behind this and would do their best to investigate. Fang Lin's family is not ordinary people either, so the case will not be dealt with so easily." Triangle Eyes shook his head.

The two of them thought it made sense, so they nodded.

Xinlu, a hotel.

The furious man who had just finished a phone call walked out of the room and quickly came to the door of a room.

Hearing the sounds of mahjong and laughter coming from inside, he hesitated for a long time and then left silently.

If the boss knew that things had turned out like this, it would be the end of us. We must repair this broken boat as soon as possible. (End of this chapter)
