Chapter 193 Hide in the Basement
Li Yong finds his direction and heads to the factory. Moreover, as he is walking, he cries, “I am here now and I bring the money with me. Where are you? Come out now! I’m alone without the police...”
Li Yong walks through the mottled fence, bypasses the weeds and reaches the factory. Suddenly two bearded men stop him, and one of them says in a sullen voice, “Indeed you are alone, clever boy. The woman is inside, but you have to transfer your money first.”
The kidnapper throws Li Yong a brand new POS and hints him to transfer the money.
From his tone, Li Yong can be sure that this is the kidnapper who called him. It is said that kidnappers are like vicious monsters with ferocious faces, but as for these two kidnappers, except their bearded faces, they look pretty gentle and quiet. They are not roughnecks, but seem to be well-educated.
“I need to see the hostage.” Once again, Li Yong claims his bottom line. In the meanwhile, he is looking for an opportunity.
“Bring her up.” Raising his hand, the kidnapper makes a sign to the small room behind him. Then Sun Xiaomei is helped out slowly by a girl.
“Mom, how are you?” Seeing Sun Xiaomei being bounded by the rope, Li Yong is heartbroken. He immediately opens his clairvoyant vision, and finds that besides her clothes are dirty and her hair is messy, Sun Xiaomei is not injured at all. He feels a little bit relieved but still feels so bad.
Sun Xiaomei raises her head painfully. Seeing Li Yong here, her pale face is lit up. She says weakly, “Alright, I’m okay. I just haven’t thought that it would be you to save me.”
“Did they hurt you?” Li Yong asks again.
That makes the kidnappers unhappy. They shout, “We just starved her for two days, besides that, we did nothing at all. Stop your chit-chat, hurry up and transfer your money. We will release your mother as soon as your money gets into our bank account. Otherwise we can be very rude.”
Saying this, the kidnapper gives a wink to the woman who’s holding Sun Xiaomei. The woman nods knowingly and puts her hand into her pocket. Li Yong opens his clairvoyant vision once again on that woman. He sees clearly that this woman is holding a short knife tightly in the pocket. So obviously, she is going to kill his mother after he pays the ransom.
Li Yong quickly switches his vision on the kidnappers, finding that both of them have guns. So they’re just gentle on the face but deep inside, and they are brutal animals.
Inwardly, Li Yong is frightened, knowing that these three people are savages. Fortunately, he also has a gun with him.
He just doesn’t know if there are any hiding kidnappers around.
It won’t be easy if they have some helpers.
For the sake of safety, as opening the clairvoyant vision for looking around without a trace, Li Yong says at ease, “Buddy, judging from your accent, you might also come from Huaxia, so why are you doing these things to your own people? You are in Japan, and there are so many rich men. Why don’t you kidnap them instead of your own people?”
“Cut the crap. Just give me the money.” The kidnapper is running out of patience. His right hand reaches into the pocket and grabs the gun.
“Okay, easy. I will transfer the money now.” Saying this, Li Yong takes out his bank card and puts it into the POS. As pretending to import the number and the code, he is observing the kidnappers and watching around.
As soon as he is certain that there are only these three kidnappers, two men and one woman, he takes out his gun and pulls the trigger on the two armed men. This is the first time for Li Yong to use the gun and kill people.
He is nervous as he pulls the trigger.
With the cracks of two gunshots, two bearded kidnappers fall into a pool of blood. The woman is shocked by the situation for a moment. When she comes to her senses, raises the knife and wants to kill Sun Xiaomei, Li Yong’s gun has already been aimed at her. And without hesitation, he pulls the trigger.
That woman is young and very good-looking but Li Yong isn’t soft-hearted. They are all kidnappers and they take Sun Xiaomei for hostage. So, in Li Yong’s mind, they should be dead.
But there are only two bullets in Wei Fangxia’s pistol. He has run out of bullet.
The female kidnapper just escapes from death. She drops out her knife immediately, kneels with fear and starts to talk.
Since she’s speaking Japanese, Li Yong could not understand a word. Seeing that she is grieved, Li Yong is secretly vigilant in case any accident happens.
At this time, Sun Xiaomei says weakly, “She’s begging for her life. She says she was forced to do this.”
Since she wasn’t bullied in these days, she couldn’t help translating the female kidnapper’s Japanese.
In her mind, it’s wrong to take someone else’s life, even if they are kidnappers. Li Yong shouldn’t kill them. But the two male kidnappers have already been killed and won’t come back to life again. And she is safe now. So she wants to prevent Li Yong from killing more. She stares at Li Yong and says softly, “Just let her go.”
“Mom, I can let her go. But would she do the same thing to us? If she calls the police, none of us could get back to Huaxia. You would not want to see me caught by the police and end up in prison!”
Saying this, Li Yong takes his gun back and quickly walks to the two male kidnappers’ dead bodies. He crouches down and searches out the kidnappers’ gun–two old big heavy pistols. Li Yong holds them together.
After appreciating the pistol, he aims at the female kidnapper with the heavy old pistol.
Under the shadow of death, the female kidnapper kowtows and begs nonstop. She cries a river. Even if he could not understand her, he feels that she is so pathetic.
Li Yong suddenly changes his mind with mercy. He signs and puts away the gun.
“Mom, let’s go.” Li Yong helps Sun Xiaomei up, and takes her with him.
At this time, there are sirens outside the factory. A large number of policemen have arrived.
How could these policemen come so quickly to this remote place? Li Yong remembers the taxi driver right away. Maybe, no, it must be him who called the police.
“What do we do?” Li Yong feels anxious. He could get out here easily. But with Sun Xiaomei, it won’t be easy. If he could not make it out and get caught by the Japanese police, things would be knotty.
“Hurry, hurry up. We can’t get caught by the police.” Sun Xiaomei looks at the two kidnappers’ dead bodies, and she is even more worried than her son-in-law. Although she has been starving for two days, she suddenly gets her strength and pulls Li Yong to leave.
The female kidnapper abruptly stops them at this moment, and says some Japanese.
Sun Xiaomei translates for Li Yong with joy, “She said she could take us out of here.”
“Let’s go.” Right now, Li Yong just feels so lucky that there were only two bullets in Wei Fangxia’s gun.
The female kidnapper leads Li Yong and Sun Xiaomei to bypass an abandoned warehouse, and then they climb over a short wall. Finally, they leave this deserted factory area after walking through the woods.
They run through the clear space and cross a river which is not too deep. Then they see some white houses randomly located in a farmland far away. After Sun Xiaomei translated for him, Li Yong knows that one of those houses is the home of the female kidnapper.
At this time, Li Yong knows that the female kidnapper, who is called Kuwasawa Amami, was fooled by those two male kidnappers. That’s why she was involved in the kidnapping case. She begs Li Yong to let her go and not give her to the police.
And that makes perfect match because Li Yong worries that she will give them to the police.
So they could achieve some common interests on this common need.
It has been a while since Kuwasawa Amami’s home had nobody in. It turns out that her parents were killed in a car accident two years ago, and she has made her own living in Tokyo since then. She didn’t have a regular job, and then she met those two male kidnappers and was fooled by them.
After she takes Li Yong and Sun Xiaomei home, she finds some food for Sun Xiaomei.
Sun Xiaomei has been starving for two days and travelled a long way. She would pass out because of starvation.
After having some food and water, she regains her strength. Then the food becomes more and more delicious for her. And her appetite seems infinite. It looks like she could eat more than ten times of her usual food.
“Mom, don’t eat too much.” Li Yong snatches her food.
“Give me, I want more.” Sun Xiaomei’s sense of hunger is getting stronger and stronger. Food has a fatal temptation to her and makes her want to eat all the food in this world.
“Mom, you have been starving for two days. You could not eat more or you will kill yourself.” Li Yong persuades.
Sun Xiaomei knows as well, but she could not control herself. Seeing Li Yong hiding her food, she just wants to slap him to death. She begs, “Just one more bit, one more.”
“No.” Li Yong says without mercy.
“Give it to me.” Sun Xiaomei suddenly rushes over to grab the food in Li Yong’s hand.
He has to give Sun Xiaomei an acupuncture to make her freeze. Seeing the food which she just grabbed in front of her, she could not put them into her mouth. This makes her mouth water.
“Is it safe here?” Li Yong turns to Kuwasawa Amami and asks.
“Of course.” Kuwasawa Amami answers right away, “I won’t let anyone know you’re here. No one will come to my house. Just relax.”
After resting for a while, Sun Xiaomei regains her ability to act. She says with anger, “Xiaoyong, how dare you! You really piss me off.”
“Mom, I did it for you.” Li Yong says with a bitter smile.
“May I have something to eat now?” Sun Xiaomei still wants to eat eagerly.
“No time for that. We can’t stay here. Let’s go.”
However, when Li Yong is about to take Sun Xiaomei to Tokyo and leave for Huaxia, he finds a group of policemen arrive at the village. They are searching from door to door.
Seeing the policemen here, Kuwasawa Amami is also terrified. But after a short time of panic, she takes Li Yong and Sun Xiaomei to the dark wet basement right away. She regards the basement as the safest place in her house.
