At the police station.

Ding ding!

The loud ringing of the phone broke the long-lasting silence.

“Chief, it is the criminals on the line,” Liu Xiao Tian said. This phone call was made from Lu Li to Lu Zhong Ming’s phone.

Qin Ju nodded and said, “Answer it and then track where it is coming from.”

“Got it.”

Wang Ming Yang was standing there. When he heard that the criminals had called, his heart started to race.

Qin Ju said, “What do you plan on doing?”

Brother Qiang said, “It’s simple. If you want them to be safe then release ‘Scorpion’. I need you guys to release ‘Scorpion’ at anywhere that I say within an hour. If not, I will not be able to guarantee the safety of the two hostages.”

Qin Ju said, “Let me hear their voices, if not I won’t agree to this.”

Brother Qiang said, “Hey, let’s get this clear. I am not the one pleading with you, you are the one pleading with me. If you have not released the ‘scorpion’ within an hour, you can get ready to take their corpses and I will let you know where to pick them up.”

Busy signal.

“Hello? Hello?” Qin Ju said then he put down the phone. “Did you manage to track them down?”

The technical staff shook his head and said, “No, I could not find them.”

“D*mn it,” Qin Ju said. He had not imagined that these drug dealers would be so cunning. Now that the hostages were in their hands, no good could come from that.

Liu Xiao Tian said, “Chief, then are we going to trade ‘Scorpion’ for them?”

Qin Ju replied, “These drug dealers are ruthless and merciless. I’m just scared that even if we trade them for ‘Scorpion’, it is still hard for us to guarantee the safety of the hostages. Regardless of which, we need to keep these hostages alive, even if it means letting ‘Scorpion’ go. If we let him go, we can still catch him again, but if the hostages die, we can’t get their lives back.”

Liu Xiao Tian nodded, “Got it chief.”

Qin Ju nodded and then said, “In order to conduct the exchange, we will have to do it face to face. Only when necessary then we will let ‘Scorpion’ go. Also, remember, the moment ‘Scorpion’ is released, send someone to follow him.”

“Got it.”

Wang Ming Yang was very anxious and he was staring with his eyes wide open. THen he realized that he was powerless and could only wait for news from the police.

Lu Zhong Ming was seated there too. On the outside, he looked calm and composed. However, the tight grip in his two hands showed that he was nervous inside.

He only had this one son, something could not possibly happen to him.

Especially since he knew that the opposition were drug dealers, using his son to threaten the police and gain something in return. Upon knowing this, he was scared things would turn for the worse.

If it was just kidnapping, that was fine as they would only be after money and would not kill them. However, it was nothing like that. Even if they got the man they wanted, they could still hurt his son.

“Qin Ju, regardless of what happens, you have to keep my son safe,” Lu Zhong Ming said.

Qin Ju said, “Relax, we, as the police, will definitely do our best.”

Wang Ming Yang said, “And my brother too, he better be safe also. If anything happens, I will risk my life and join in the rescue also.”

…

In a remote and desolate area.

“Brother Qiang, are they going to release him?”

Li Qiang sneered, “Even if they didn’t want to, they will have to. It is not something they can afford not to do.”
