Ma Zhang was very surprised when he heard his son say that it was Ruan Hao who kidnapped him.
âHow can it be him?â
âI heard Ruan Haoâs voice. Because the blind date between me and his daughter fell through, he was afraid that the Ma family would take revenge, so he decided to kidnap me.â
âHis company has suffered heavy losses, and their bank loans are due. If he canât get another loan, he will have serious cash flow problems.â
âWhen that happens, everyone they owe money to will come and collect, so he hired a few local thugs to kidnap me to threaten you into buying his company!â âPreposterous! I knew that Ruan Hao isnât a good person!â
Ma Zhang was furious. âGuards, go catch that son of a b*tch Ruan Hao back here!â
âDad, save me!â
Before Ma Zhang could say anything, Mrs. Ma cried kneeling beside the coffee table and said into the phone, âDefinitely. Weâll definitely save you. Please donât hurt my son. Just tell us what you want. Letâs discuss this!â
Ma Baomuâs whimper was heard before an unfamiliar voice sounded on the phone, âThat b*stard Ruan Hao got his money. He didnât want to give it to us but expect us to let the victim go.â
âOnly then did we find out that Ma Baomu is such a treasure. Heâs worth a lot Mr. Ma, youâre richer than Ruan Hao, so prepare a ransom of too million yuan.â âOne, one hundred million? I just gave Ruan Hao 80 million. I wonât be able to raise that kind of money so quickly.â
âThen is your son more important or money?â
âSon, of course itâs my son!â
Mrs. Ma cried as she tugged at her husbandâs sleeve. âYou must save our son.â
âHoney, donât cry. Iâll definitely save our son.â
Ma Zhang looked at the four men, hoping that they had a solution.
They were still tracing the call, trying to find the location of Ma Baomuâs phone.
One of them wrote a note and showed it to him, âStall for time.â
Ma Zhang nodded quickly. âAlright, alright. Iâll raise the money. But how shall I give it to you when I have it?â
âSimple. Courier the 100 million yuan and the signed agreement to me.â
â⦠Huh? How do I courier it? Courier to where? What should I do?â
âIf you donât courier it, your sonâs life is over. Iâll cut his fat body into pieces and feed him to dogs!â
âNo, donât. Please. Youâ¦â
Before Ma Zhang could finish, the kidnappers hung up.
Ma Zhang looked at the four men, who all looked worried.
They couldnât trace the call. The kidnappers had installed an anti-tracking device on Ma Baomuâs phone.
It was obvious that everything had been planned and they were experienced kidnappers!
Then, the only thing I can do now is to get the money ready?â
âGet the money ready. Weâll tail the courier. Weâll definitely catch the kidnappers!â The leader of the group said.
Ma Zhang could only raise money for his son.
loo million yuan was a real challenge for Ma Zhang, who had just spent 80 million yuan to acquire Ruan Haoâs company!
As Ma Zhang raised the money, he asked the bodyguards if they had caught Ruan Hao. If he could take the check back from Ruan Hao, he would have enough money to save his son!
The bodyguards replied that they have caught Ruan Hao, and they would be back soon.
Ruan Hao left the Ma residence without knowing that heâd been set up again. They werenât driving fast so Ma Zhangâs bodyguards quickly caught up to them and forced them to drive back to the Ma residence.
The three Ruan family members who came to the Ma residence again felt extremely uneasy.
Ruan Hao asked angrily, âMr. Ma, what do you want now?â
Ma Zhang raised his arm and slapped Ruan Hao across the face.
His eyes were gloomy as he said, âYou son of a b*tch! If it werenât for you, my son wouldnât be kidnapped!â
Ruan Hao felt dizzy from the slap. He covered his numb cheek, his brain still in a daze.
What did he do to cause Ma Baomu to be kidnapped?
âMa Zhang, f*ck! What the hell are you talking about?â
Ma Zhang didnât want to waste any more time with him and asked, âWhereâs the check?â
A bodyguard took out the check and said, âMr. Ma, weâve found it. Here.â Ma Zhang took the check and asked the bodyguards to gag the three Ruans and lock them up.
âMa Zhang, youâre kidnapping us now. Iâllâ¦â
Before Ruan Hao could finish his sentence, the bodyguards had gagged all
three of them and locked them up in a guest room.
To Ma Zhang, the most important thing now was to save his son. He didnât care if he was committing a crime.
At this moment, someone knocked on the front door. A servant opened the
door, turned her head quickly and said, âOld Master, itâs a courier.â
Ma Zhang quickly walked to the door and looked sharply at the courier.
âWho ordered you to pick up the parcel?â
The courier said, âA gentleman. This is his phone number. Mr. Ma, didnât your son place the order?â
Ma Zhang looked at the number. It was indeed his sonâs phone number.
These kidnappers were really despicable. They used his sonâs phone number!
âDid the person who placed the order tell you where to drop off the parcel?â
âHere, at a park.â The courier showed the waybill to Ma Zhang.
Ma Zhang stared at the courier and watched him skillfully retrieve information about the drop-off point for the parcel on his device. He then turned to look at the four bodyboards, who nodded to indicate that they would tail the courier.
Once they caught the kidnappers, they would save Ma Baomu!
Only then did Ma Zhang insert the two checks between pages of the legal agreement and put it into the envelope provided by the courier. He watched the courier attach the waybill and scan the parcel before the courier left with his money to do his next pickup or drop-off.
The courier didnât realize that there was a 100 million yuan check in the parcel
he had just pick up, let alone that he was tailed.
He worked as usual. After he had picked up enough packages, he started
dropping off packages in the same city.
On the busy streets, Ma Zhang and a few bodyguards were in a car behind the courier. Cars were coming and going, and they occasionally lost sight of the courier.
Someone approached the courier when they lost sight of him.
When they arrived at the park, the courier called the parcel receiver, but the receiver asked him to leave the parcel on a wooden bench in the park.
After the courier put down the parcel, he carefully took a photo of it and sent it to the receiver. After confirming that the parcel had been delivered, the courier left quickly.
Ma Zhang had been watching the parcel with binoculars from a corner in the park but no one came to pick it up even after two hours.
The kidnappers also never called him again. He was getting very anxious and didnât know what to do.
He asked the four bodyguards and they said that they should continue waiting.
The kidnappers might just be trying to wear out their patience.
However, at this moment, a servant from the Ma residence called. She cried
and said, âRuan Hao called the police. The police came and took the three
Ruans away. They are looking to arrest you now. Old Master, what should we do?â
Ma Zhang was very annoyed at Ruan Hao.
It was all his fault. If Ruan Hao hadnât been greedy, his son wouldnât have been kidnapped.
âI canât care about this now. I locked them up to save my son. Iâm sure theyâll understand.â
Ma Zhang was very confident that he would win any lawsuit brought on by Ruan Hao.
He didnât care even if he had to compensate him with money.
After hanging up the servantâs call, they continued to watch the parcel for another hour.
They were already yawning and feeling sleepy when Ma Zhangâs phone rang again.
It was the servant again.
Ma Zhang was annoyed and rejected the call.
A few seconds later, Mrs. Maâs phone rang.
It was a private number. Mrs. Ma picked up the call in confusion.
The caller went straight to the point and told her that they were the police!
Mrs. Ma looked at her husband helplessly. Ma Zhang took her phone and asked, âWhatâs the matter? Just tell me.â
âYouâve been accused of kidnapping.â
I did it to save someone. Please understand.â
âYou were going to say that you did that to save your kidnapped son, right? But
your son is sitting at home and doing very well!â
âWhat did you say? My son is at home?â
Ma Zhang was shocked and could not believe his ears.
âOf course, you have two choices now. Come home now or wait for us to arrest you..â
