Chapter 1182 Prepare the ransom

Cheng Yunchuan grabbed the woman's shoulders with such force that he almost crushed her bones: "Who is the other party? How much money do they want? Where is the transaction?"

The woman frowned in pain and said intermittently: "I... I don't know who they are... They... They want 10 million... The transaction location... They will notify me later."

Cheng Yunchuan let go of his hand and paced back and forth in the room with a terribly gloomy face.

Jiang Mubai was kidnapped. This sudden news caught him off guard.

He originally thought that the man in the photo was the key to the problem, but he didn't expect things to suddenly turn out like this.

Seeing this, Li Wei spoke cautiously: "Yunchuan, now is not the time to pursue the matter of the photo. We have to find a way to save Mu Bai first."

Cheng Yunchuan suddenly stopped and turned to look at Li Wei, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.

He took a deep breath and tried to suppress his anger and anxiety: "I know. The most important thing now is Mu Bai's safety."

He turned to look at the woman and said in a softer tone, "What's your name?"

"My name is Xiaoya, and I'm Sister Mu Bai's assistant."

"Xiaoya, calm down and tell me everything you know. Did the kidnappers say anything else? Did they mention their purpose?"

Xiaoya tried hard to recall and said intermittently: "They...they said...if you call the police...they will...kill the victim."

Cheng Yunchuan's face became even uglier. The kidnappers were obviously well prepared and they didn't want to alert the police. This made him even more worried about Jiang Mubai's safety.

"Yunchuan, what should we do now?" Li Wei asked anxiously.

Cheng Yunchuan pondered for a moment, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "Ten million, I will give it, but we can't just listen to them obediently, we must find a way to find their location and ensure Mu Bai's safety."

He picked up his phone and dialed a number: "Ahu, help me check a number. I want to know their location, the sooner the better."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yunchuan turned to look at Li Wei and Xiaoya: "Let's act separately now. Xiaoya, you continue to keep in touch with the kidnappers. Remember, don't anger them and try to delay time. Li Wei, you come with me to prepare the ransom."

Li Wei nodded without saying anything more. He knew that now was not the time to argue and Jiang Mubai had to be rescued as soon as possible.

Cheng Yunchuan, Xiaoya and Li Wei took action immediately. Cheng Yunchuan began to raise the ransom, while Li Wei contacted his friends, hoping to find some useful clues.

Xiaoya followed the kidnappers' instructions, kept in touch with them and reported the situation at any time.

Time passed by minute by minute, and every second seemed like torture. Cheng Yunchuan was anxious. He kept refreshing his phone, hoping that Ah Hu could find the kidnapper's location as soon as possible.

However, a long time passed and there was still no news from Ah Hu.

In the evening, Xiaoya's cell phone rang. It was the kidnapper calling.

"Hello?" Xiaoya answered the phone tremblingly.

"Is the money ready?" A rough voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I...I'm getting ready...please...please give me a little more time!"

"No! I'll give you an hour. If we don't see the money after an hour, you can just wait to collect your boss's body!"

The call was hung up. Xiaoya turned pale with fright and the phone slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.

Cheng Yunchuan picked up the phone, his face turned pale. He knew that time was running out.

At this moment, Ah Hu finally called: "Brother Yun, the number has been found and the location has been locked. It's in an abandoned factory."

A cold light flashed in Cheng Yunchuan's eyes. He stood up suddenly and picked up his coat: "Let's go!"

He took Li Wei and Xiaoya and drove to the abandoned factory. As night fell, the abandoned factory was pitch black with only a few dim lights flickering, making it look particularly eerie and terrifying.

Cheng Yunchuan took a deep breath. He knew that a fierce battle was about to begin.

Outside the abandoned factory, the night wind cut people's faces like a knife, the wild grass swayed in the wind, the surrounding darkness swallowed up the faint lights, and the whole scene was filled with an uncalm tension.

When Cheng Yunchuan got out of the car, his expression was grim, and the gloom between his brows was like a dark cloud that made it hard to breathe.

At the same time, Li Wei and Xiao Yayi followed behind him with serious expressions. Every step they took seemed to be stepping on an invisible minefield.

"This place is really remote." Li Wei muttered in a low voice, with a hint of uneasiness in his tone.

Cheng Yunchuan turned around and glanced at him coldly without answering. His attention was now entirely on the factory gate in front of him. This rusty iron gate seemed like a boundary, separating life and death.

"According to the location provided by Ah Hu, the kidnapper should be inside." Cheng Yunchuan spoke in a low voice. Although his voice was flat, it concealed a gritting anger: "Mu Bai must be here too."

Xiaoya clutched her sleeves nervously, as if she didn't dare to say a word more, for fear of making things worse and angering the kidnappers.

But her heart was full of regret. If she had not left Jiang Mubai at that time, perhaps none of this would have happened.

Cheng Yunchuan looked back at Xiaoya, his eyes showing a rare gentleness. He tried to keep his tone light: "Don't worry, I will bring Mu Bai out safely."

After hearing these words, Xiaoya could hardly hold back her tears. She knew that this was the other party's comfort, but she also knew that the current situation was not as easy as the lines said.

"Yunchuan, how do we get in? We won't alert the enemy, right?" Li Wei asked in a low voice, a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

Cheng Yunchuan sneered: "Do you think I would barge in unprepared?"

After that, he took out a small Bluetooth headset from the inside of his coat and put it on his ear: "Ah Hu, what's the situation?"

A familiar deep voice soon came from the headset: "Brother Yun, I'm watching the surveillance. There are four kidnappers in total. Two of them are guarding the factory gate, and the other two are inside, playing cards."

"Where's Mu Bai?" Cheng Yunchuan lowered his voice even more, his expression tense.

"She was tied up in a corner and there was no one around her." Ah Hu paused, his tone hinting at exploration.

"But judging from her condition, she is safe, at least she is not injured for the time being."

Hearing this news, Cheng Yunchuan felt relieved a little, but the coldness in his eyes became even stronger.

He clenched his fists and said in an almost commanding tone, "Watch for a while longer and tell me when those two people at the door make any movement."

"I understand. Be careful, Brother Yun." Ah Hu's tone was a little worried.

Cheng Yunchuan hung up the call and turned to look at Li Wei and Xiaoya: "You two just wait outside, don't act rashly, especially you, Xiaoya, I don't want Mu Bai to be threatened again because of your recklessness, understand?"

Xiaoya nodded hurriedly, fearing that Cheng Yunchuan would say something more.
