C24 (1/2)
”Well, what do you want to do? Let me go.”
Yang Qianqian's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone. Zhou Xuanqing was stunned. He immediately braked to a stop, not caring that his car was still on the sidewalk.
For a moment, there was only the sound of a car whistle and a horn, followed by a variety of curses.
Zhou Xuan Qing couldn't care less as he listened attentively to the various voices coming from the other side of the phone. He frowned heavily as his heart skipped a beat.
Soon, he heard voices coming from the other end of the phone. It sounded like the voice belonged to a man.
”You're Zhou Xuanqing?”
As the other party asked this question, Zhou Xuanqing hurriedly answered, ”Yes, I am.” ”Why did you capture Yang Qianqian? What did you do to her?”
She was really worried and did not have time to think about it.
After confirming Zhou Xuanqing's identity, the other party smiled sinisterly and spoke slowly, ”We haven't done anything to her, but we won't be able to say anything for a while.”
Hearing the words of the criminal, Zhou Xuanqing's heart sank, and he somewhat understood what was going on. It was very possible that she was after him. As for why she would use Yang Qianqian to threaten him, she really couldn't understand. Forcing himself to calm down, he frowned and asked, ”What do you want?”
The criminal took a long time to answer, ”Actually, what we wanted was very simple.”
It was only natural, but Zhou Xuan Qing was cursing silently in his heart. But he tried his best to be tactful, ”No matter what you want, please don't hurt Yang Qianqian.”
Hearing that Zhou Xuanqing was in such a hurry for Yang Qianqian, the criminal finally felt reassured. With a sinister smile, he said, ”Alright, as long as you agree to our conditions, we will naturally let her go.”
Zhou Xuan Qing's heart sank. He was afraid that if he continued to park the car in the middle of the road, it would attract the police. Suppressing the pressure, he slowly turned the car to the side of the road and asked, ”What condition?”
The criminal laughed loudly, this time he spoke in a casual tone, ”Our condition is, you have to use yourself to exchange.”
”What?” She couldn't stop herself from exclaiming.
The smile on the criminal's face grew bigger and bigger. ”Miss Zhou, we will be waiting for your call quietly.”
After he finished speaking, he directly hung up the phone.
”Hey!” Hey! ”Hey!” Zhou Xuanqing was struck dumb. After three consecutive ”Hello”, there was only the sound of a ”doo doo doo doo” from the other end of the line.
Her left hand fell limply on the steering wheel.
What should he do?
Zhou Xuanqing asked himself over and over, but he still couldn't make up his mind.
Was he really going to trade her for Yang Qianqian?
After some thought, Zhou Xuanqing was still unable to make up his mind.
She knew that if she called the police now, it would disturb the criminal. Plus, she didn't know where the criminal was, what if it dragged on for too long and the criminal hurt Yang Qianqian?
Forget it, he might as well call He Qingyu and see if there were any good methods.
After some thought, Zhou Xuan Qing picked up his phone and made a call. But for some reason, the phone rang for a long time and no one answered.
Helpless, Zhou Xuanqing could only hang up the phone. Instead, he called little Joe, and this time the call was quickly picked up.
”Hey!” Director Zhou, do you have any news about Qianqian? ”
It seemed that little Qiao was very anxious. Before she could say anything, he asked first.
Zhou Xuanqing nodded and replied with a solemn expression.
Hearing Zhou Xueqing's tone, Little Qiao continued to ask, ”What's wrong, Director Zhou? Did something happen to Qianqian?”
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Xuan Qing didn't know how to explain what had happened. She only replied, ”Qianqian is fine now, but …”
”But what?” Little Qiao signaled the few people surrounding her to be quiet and not make a sound. Then, she asked again, ”What happened to Qianqian?”
Zhou Xuanqing replied, ”She is now being held by criminals, but I do not know where she is being held.” The gangster just called me and said … ”
Hearing that Yang Qianqian had been caught by the criminal, he didn't have the time to listen to what Zhou Xueqing had to say. One by one, they exclaimed, ”What?! Yang Qianqian was caught by the criminal?”
The other one was more composed, ”Then hurry up and call the police!”
When most people are in danger, their first reaction is to call the people's police.
Hearing their discussion, Zhou Xuan Qing immediately shouted, ”Don't call the police!”
His voice was so loud that it silenced Little Qiao and the rest. The group fell silent, waiting for Zhou Xuanqing to explain why he had not called the police.
Taking another deep breath, Zhou Xueqing suddenly came to a decision. He said word by word to Qiao Qiao and the others on the other end of the phone calmly, ”The criminal just made a request to me on the phone, and they told me to trade myself for Yang Qianqian.”
”What?” The criminal wants you to trade yourself for Yang Qianqian? ” Little Qiao and the others were stunned again.
”Yes, I'm going to call now. Tell them I do. ”
Zhou Xuanqing's words were surprisingly calm.
He was so calm that it surprised Little Qiao and the others, but still directly objected, ”How can we do that, Director Zhou. How can you use yourself to exchange for Yang Qianqian? ”
He Qingyu, who just drove over to the Zhou Enterprise, had just entered the design department when he heard the words of Little Qiao and the others. Ye Zichen quickly walked over and snatched the phone away.
”Zhou Xuan Qing, listen to me. I forbid you from doing anything stupid.”
His voice was filled with authority, and the expression on his cold face was terrifyingly gloomy.
However, Zhou Xueqing, who had hung up the phone due to the incoming call, did not hear anything. She pressed the answer button. The voice that came from the other end was that of the criminal who had just called.
The criminal: ”Miss Zhou, we don't have much time left for you!”
