“The streamer will…”
He had just typed the words when his phone suddenly rang. Su Yun took the phone and frowned slightly. The call was from Xu Jiajia, which surprised Su
Yun. The two of them had just gone their separate ways more than an hour ago. Xu Jiajia should still be in Burning Light Ancient City.
Why did she suddenly call again? With curiosity, Su Yun picked up the phone. In the next second, his expression changed drastically. It was not Xu Jiajia’s voice on the phone, but a strange voice. “Your girlfriend has been kidnapped. If you want to save her, follow my instructions. Don’t call the police, or I’ll kill her!”
“Who are you?” Su Yun quickly asked.
The other party’s voice had obviously been processed by a voice changer. Su Yun could only tell that the other party was a man, but he could not tell anything else.
“Kidnapper.” The other party still had some black humor.
“What do you want me to do?” Su Yun asked again.
“Take 200,000 yuan in cash and be at Construction West Road subway station by ten tonight. Someone will contact you,” the other party replied again.
“I can’t take out so much money at once,” Su Yun said immediately.
“That’s your business. Remember, at ten o’clock, Construction West Road subway station!”
“I can borrow it, but the time is too tight!” Su Yun tried to buy more time.
However, the other party chose to hang up. Su Yun called again, but this time, it was a busy tone. The other party had probably turned off his phone.
Su Yun put down his phone and frowned. He did not ask Xu Jiajia if she was safe or not, nor did he doubt the safety of this kidnapping message. Because this was Xu Jiajia’s phone number, she wouldn’t joke about this. In other words, Xu Jiajia must have been kidnapped, and the person who kidnapped her clearly had another motive.
This was because Su Yun had specially mentioned money. If the kidnapper was really trying to extort a ransom, he would definitely give a rough figure.
Because it did take time to raise money, and the kidnappers knew this. However, they did not. The ransom was very likely just an excuse to confuse him.
There was only one group of people who would kidnap Xu Jiajia to contact and threaten him.
That group of tomb raiders!
Su Yun’s eyebrows slowly raised, and a touch of coldness appeared on his face. He raised his hand and cut his phone to the livestream page. He opened the livestream. “Streamer is off the air today. Because the streamer… has something on today.”
He did have something on today. Something important.
Because the streamer was going to kill someone today.
After casually giving a few words, Su Yun turned off the livestream.
Xu Jiajia was not his girlfriend, but the two of them were indeed very close and intimate. No matter what, Su Yun would not let her be implicated and encounter any danger. This was also what made Su Yun angry. He was actually a very reasonable person.
No matter what, he had indeed ruined the tomb raiders’ plan and taken away the Warring States Golden Foil that they were determined to obtain. It was only natural that the other party would look for him.
However, they shouldn’t have touched Xu Jiajia!
This was because Xu Jiajia had nothing to do with this matter. She was not Su Yun’s girlfriend at all. He did not dare to look for him, the main character, but he despicably kidnapped a person who had nothing to do with this matter to threaten him. He was courting death!
Although he was already furious to the extreme, Su Yun was not blinded by anger. He knew that Xu Jiajia should still be safe. After all, the other party wanted the Warring States Golden Foil. The Warring States Golden Foil was still in Su Yun’s hands. Even if the other party had the intention to kill the hostage, there was a high chance that they would do so after obtaining the Warring States Golden Foil.
However, where would Xu Jiajia be now?
“Subway station of Construction West Road?” Su Yun chewed on the name. This was the location the kidnapper had just told him. He told him to arrive at ten o’clock. Someone would contact him then.
Shaking his head slightly, Su Yun also knew that it was impossible for Xu Jiajia to be nearby. As it was a business district, there were many people and eyes. It was very difficult for the kidnappers to detain and take hostages without anyone knowing. It was inconvenient to enter and leave, and it was very easy to be exposed.
As long as one was in their right mind, they would not choose that place. In addition, there was the most important reason.
Su Yun only separated from Xu Jiajia at around four o’clock and returned from Burning Light Ancient City. It took him more than an hour to get a taxi back to the city. The reason why it took so long was that although the peak period after work had not arrived and there was not much congestion, there was still a lot of traffic.
It was almost dinnertime and everyone was in a hurry to go home. Even if the kidnappers were behind him, they had already kidnapped Xu Jiajia the moment Su Yun left. It was impossible for them to return to the city faster than Su Yun.
Not to mention running to the most prosperous Construction West Road subway station and making preparations in advance. Not to mention them, even if Su Yun went home without delay and rushed over, he would probably only arrive at eight or nine o’clock.
Therefore, this location was obviously just a smokescreen. The other party might just be using this to confirm if Su Yun had called the police and if Xu Jiajia’s safety was important to Su Yun. In fact, it was purely to disturb Su Yun’s vision.
Xu Jiajia and the kidnapper were definitely not in the Construction West Road subway station. Moreover, Su Yun was basically certain that Xu Jiajia should be around Burning Light Ancient City.
This was because he had just returned home when he received a message. He still had to find an opportunity to attack in such a short period of time and complete the kidnapping. It was impossible to give the kidnapper too much time to move..
