Gossiping About the Brother-In-Law Who Likes Me [13]
If he could choose, Chen Liguo really wouldn't leave, but after entering these worlds, the power to choose was no longer in Chen Liguo's hands.
The System told Chen Liguo in advance about Ran Tongtong’s kidnapping, which is why Chen Liguo chose to flee. Judging by the completion number of Ran Tongtong’s fate, Chen Liguo seems to be able to leave the world as long as this kidnapping is resolved he would be able to leave this world.
Although Chen Liguo is reluctant to part Ran Qingkong, he also knows that returning to his original way is the correct path, so although there is some reluctance in his heart, there is not much hesitation.
The kidnapping of Ran Tongtong was done by the Ran family.
Ran Qingkong’s tough tactics over the years have left behind some after-effects.
When Chen Liguo arrived at the hospital, it was already too late.
Ran Tongtong was unconscious, sitting on a wheelchair, and the kidnappers pushed her out of the hospital openly and aboveboard.
Chen Liguo just happened to arrive in time to see Ran Tongtong being carried into the car.
Seeing such a scene, Chen Liguo knew that he couldn’t wait any longer, so he called a taxi from the side and followed after them.
The taxi driver was very enthusiastic and asked Chen Liguo what happened. Chen Liguo said, “My sister has been abducted by a trafficker. Could you please call the police for me?”
The driver agreed and called the police.
They followed the car that kidnapped Ran Tongtong out of the city. When the driver saw that the road was getting more and more skewed and that there were fewer and fewer cars on the road, he felt a little nervous and asked, “Are you still going to follow?”
Chen Liguo thought for a moment and said, “Let's follow for another twenty minutes. Be careful to not be found out.”
The driver gave a worried sigh.
Ten minutes later, the car carrying Ran Tongtong stopped outside a suburban warehouse. Chen Liguo got out and asked the driver to go back first. The driver looked at him anxiously and asked him what he was going to do.
Chen Liguo said that he was fine, he'd stay there to the side so be at ease.
The driver said, “Then I’ll wait here. I've already called the police. The police are expected to come soon.”
Chen Liguo said okay. He hesitated for a moment and then whispered, “Mister, can you lend me your cell phone to make a phone call?”
The driver handed his phone to Chen Liguo.
Chen Liguo took the phone and dialed Ran Qingkong’s phone.
“h.e.l.lo?” When the call connected, it was not Ran Qingkong’s voice on the other side.
“h.e.l.lo, I am looking for Ran Qingkong.” Chen Liguo said.
“The boss’s cell phone dropped in the office.” The woman at the other end of the phone said, “What can I do for you?”
Seeing that the phone was answered by Ran Qingkong’s secretary… Chen Liguo simply described the matter and made his location clear.
The Secretary immediately said, “Okay, I’ll contact the boss right away. You should be careful there.”
Chen Liguo said yes, and the call was ended from the other end.
When the driver saw that Chen Liguo's complexion wasn't good, he said a few words of comfort.
Chen Liguo said, “I really do like him.”
The driver didn’t know what Chen Liguo was talking about, so he listened quietly.
Chen Liguo said, “Unfortunately he will never know.”
The driver patted Chen Liguo on the shoulder and said, “I’ll wait outside with you. There shouldn’t be any accident.”
Chen Liguo thought for a moment and said, “I want to go in and have a look.”
The driver's eyes widened, “Are you crazy?”
Chen Liguo said, “My sister just gave birth to a baby, I'm afraid of something happening to her.”
The driver sighed and no longer tried to dissuade him.
So Chen Liguo sneaked over by himself. Before he entered the warehouse, he heard the faint conversation coming from inside.
One of the men said, “What did they say on the other end?”
Another said, “Well, what did they say? Or can it be that he doesn't want his sister to live anymore?”
Yet another person said, “Big brother, all of our faces have been seen by her… this…”
The man sneered and said, “You actually think we're going to give her back? The negotiations have been completed and once we get the money we'll leave.”
Chen Liguo’s heart tightened knowing that these people would certainly not let Ran Tongtong go. He peeped through the window and saw Ran Tongtong huddled in the corner, pale and motionless, unaware of the situation.
Seeing this scene, Chen Liguo quickly asked the system how Ran Tongtong was doing.
The system said, “Not very good.”
Chen Liguo: “How bad is it?”
“I suggest that she be rescued as soon as possible,” said the system.
Chen Liguo took a deep breath, hoping that Ran Qingkong would come soon.
However, the more he was anxious, the more he felt that the time pa.s.sed slowly. It was just but a few hours, but it seemed to feel like an entire day.
Just as Chen Liguo was about to lose his patience, a cell phone suddenly rang in the warehouse.
“h.e.l.lo?” As the man answered the phone, Chen Liguo’s was strung up.
“I’ll give you seven hours to get the money. Seven hours later if I can’t see the money then you won't get to see your sister either.” The man said coldly.
Chen Liguo didn't know what was being said on the other side of the phone.
The man said again, “Sure.” as he said that, he kicked a half-conscious Ran Tongtong with his foot. “Woman, say something.”
“Ah!” Ran Tongtong came to her senses when she was kicked. Her eyes were filled with fear as she bit her lower lip.
“Did you hear her voice?” The man said coldly, “If you still want to listen, I can let her call out a few more times.”
Ran Qingkong naturally can’t ask to hear any more.
They quickly reached a consensus on the phone——seven hours later, one with the money, one with the person.
Chen Liguo also wondered how much money they had asked for, actually giving Ran Qingkong hours.
After three hours, the sky was completely dark.
The people in the warehouse seemed to relax a little too. One of them began to doze off. Of the other two, one was playing on their phone while the other was smoking.
Chen Liguo was standing outside. When he was tapped on the shoulder, he almost cried out in fear. He turned around and found out that it was the driver uncle.
The driver's uncle held the phone and mouthed: someone called you.
Chen Liguo looked at the missed call on the phone, took the phone and dialed back.
Ran Qingkong's voice traveled over the phone and he said, "Where are you?"
Chen Liguo said the address.
Ran Qingkong said, “I’m here too. There are people at the intersection, so I don't dare cross it.”
Chen Liguo was stunned. He didn’t think that there were actually more people who kidnapped Ran Tongtong than three in the warehouse. He was also lucky to have not been blocked by the people.
“Come out first.” Ran Qingkong said, “I’m afraid something will happen to you.”
Chen Liguo thought for a moment and said, “Me being inside, isn't it the perfect chance to coordinate outside and inside offensives?”
Ran Qingkong said angrily, “Shut up and get out of there. Xu Wenyou, if anything happens to you——”
Chen Liguo："……"
Ran Qingkong took a breath and seemed to be forcing down his emotions. He said, “Xu Wenyou, behave.”
Chen Liguo said, “No.
Ran Qingkong："……"
Chen Liguo: “I’m worried about Tongtong…”
Ran Qingkong said lowly, “Xu Wenyou, I'll say this again, come out of there for me.”
Chen Liguo still refused.
Ran Qingkong was really angry. He said, “I’ll say it for the last time. If you don’t want to be beaten up by me, be obedient.”
Chen Liguo said, “You can’t beat me.”
Ran Qingkong："……"
Chen Liguo said, “Don’t worry. I really won’t have an accident. Hurry up, Tongtong is waiting for you.”
Ran Qingkong heard the words “Tongtong” and felt a sense of sourness in his heart. In the end, Chen Liguo refused to leave because of Ran Tongtong. For fear of Ran Tongtong having an accident he put his own safety aside.
Ran Qingkong smiled bitterly, his eyes full of sadness.
Chen Liguo didn’t know what Ran Qingkong was thinking at the moment. After calling, he thanked the driver and went back to the window of the warehouse. However, when he looked inside, he was frightened speechless by the scene.
The people who were leisurely resting all got up and looked anxious. Two of them were also quarreling. Chen Liguo listened to their quarrel and found that they realized Ran Qingkong had found them.
Chen Liguo sent Ran Qingkong a text message when he saw the turn of events.
Ran Qingkong replied with just the words, “It’s all right.”
Chen Liguo was wondering why Ran Qingkong was so calm when he saw several figures at the door of the warehouse. He thought they were policemen, but when he looked carefully, he found that none of them wore police uniforms.
While Chen Liguo was thinking, those people had already broken the window, neither Chen Liguo nor the people inside had reacted, but with the blink of an eye, they were subdued.
Chen Liguo who stood outside the warehouse was a little confused. The picture of the hero saving the beauty in his imagination has did not happen—in fact, he was of no use at all. This was still not the most worrying thing. What was worrying was the fact that even though Ran Tongtong was rescued, the progress bar on her head was still a striking 99 with absolutely no sign of moving forward.
Chen Liguo was a little puzzled, so he looked at Ran Tongtong several times, and the scene happened to be seen by Ran Qingkong.
Ran Qingkong walked over to Chen Liguo and wrapped his arms around his waist, “Still looking?”
Chen Liguo jumped in fright and stepped back into Ran Qingkong’s arms.
Ran Qingkong pulled Chen Liguo into him and gnashed his teeth. “Xu Wenyou, do you even know what you are doing?”
Chen Liguo said quietly, “It wasn't on purpose.”
Ran Qingkong said, "Still run—see if I don’t break your leg.”
Chen Liguo was about to speak, but he saw a glare of light in the corner of the warehouse, and then a gunshot rang out——Before his mind could react, his body moved by itself.
The pain hit Chen Liguo’s chest. He opened his eyes wide, looked at the desperate Ran Qingkong, and then gently put his lips to Ran Qingkong’s ear. He said, “I… Like…"
Before he could finish his words, he already pa.s.sed away.
Ran Qingkong looked at the bloodstained man in his arms and roared with despair like a trapped animal.
At the same time, the progress bar on Ran Tongtong’s head was finally reached 100. It turned out that the accident in her fate was not her own, but her brother Ran Qingkong's.
