Chapter 104 Rescued
Guier kept her ears perked up to listen to what was happening outside. Ever since they were caught and brought here, it had been very quiet outside. Apart from the occasional words from the bandits, she seemed to have not heard any sound coming from the street outside.
When she got off the car, she paid attention to the surrounding environment and found that the houses in this area were also very dense, but they were not buildings like those in residential areas or alleys. Except for the courtyard where they were, the surrounding buildings looked more like warehouses or factories.
Guier knew that they had sent someone to deliver the letter today. If there was no news tomorrow, this group of people would definitely take action again, and by then it would be very dangerous.
Should I run away? But the other side has guns, there are so many people on my side, and there is also a stick that will definitely hinder us. The chances of escaping are not high.
At this time, Tong Yujun came over and said with a sad face: "Gui'er, I'm sorry, if I hadn't asked you out to watch a movie, you wouldn't have been dragged into this."
Gui'er smiled and comforted her, "It was all an accident, no one expected it to happen." Then she looked around and quietly asked Tong Yujun, "Will your family pay 2,000 yuan to redeem you and your sister?"
Tong Yujun said hesitantly, "I don't know. My father has a son now. Ever since he acquired the mining rights for the coal mine, our family has become much better off. A grandfather in the family said that my family still has no descendants, so he sent a maidservant to my father. She gave birth to a boy some time ago, but my father said he couldn't let my mother down, so he gave the son to my mother to raise. This time I went back to Shanghai for the New Year, but actually I came back to hold a full-month banquet for my younger brother."
Gui'er fell silent for a moment. She didn't expect that a family that always gave people the impression of being open-minded could not escape such a clichéd plot. But it was also true that he could send his sister in her early 20s to a 50-year-old man as a concubine, which showed that Boss Tong was no different from other profit-seeking people in Shiina.
Tong Yujun looks innocent, romantic and heartless, but in fact her heart is as clear as a mirror. She is actually afraid that her father already has a son, and the lives of these two daughters are not that important.
Gui'er whispered to Tong Yujun, "I'm worried they'll do something bad to us if they don't get the ransom tomorrow. But we're unarmed, outnumbered, and don't know the way. It'll be difficult for us to escape."
Tong Yujun burst into tears and said, "Guier, I'm scared. One of my cousins was kidnapped. Because her family couldn't raise the money, they only gave half the ransom. She was eventually found floating in the river, naked, with many scars on her body, and her hands and feet were broken."
Gui'er suddenly felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet. Ever since she was kidnapped, she always felt that there was room for a turnaround because the bandits had been quite polite to them. After hearing what Tong Yujun said, she suddenly felt more and more scared. If as time went by, they didn't get the ransom, they would definitely torture the hostage, and in the end they would definitely kill her to avoid exposing herself.
The two little girls snuggled together and cried silently.
At this moment, the driver suddenly came over and said to Tong Yujun, "Miss, don't be sad. I, Lao Si, would never let them harm you even if I had to risk my life."
This driver had been responsible for taking Tong Yujun to and from school on weekdays. Perhaps because of his years of care, he had some affection for her. Tong Yujun smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Fourth Uncle."
Seeing that Tong Yujun, a child of twelve or thirteen, was behaving so well, Gui'er couldn't be timid either. So she said to her, "Let's take a break first and get enough rest. Then we'll have the energy to deal with anything that comes our way."
So they each found a comfortable place to rest. Gui'er sat on a stool and slept on the dining table, while Tong Yulan's boyfriend had already slipped into the bedroom and was fast asleep on the bed.
I don’t know how long it was, but suddenly there was a sound of banging on the door outside. Guier was immediately awakened, and everyone else was awakened as well. Everyone looked towards the door in horror.
Afterwards, there was a lot of noise and light came in through the crack in the door. Then there were a few gunshots, "bang, bang", and then there was a chaotic fight mixed with gunshots. Seeing that the situation was not good, Guier quickly crawled under the table.
After a while, it suddenly became quiet. With a "bang", the door was kicked open and a tall figure appeared at the door.
"Gui'er?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Gui'er stood up from under the table and saw Song Xichen at a glance. He was standing at the door, just like the first time he rescued her from the bandits, handsome and tall, giving people an incomparable sense of security.
"Brother Xichen" Guier ran out.
Song Xichen hurried forward and hugged her. He looked her up and down and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that she was not injured.
At this time, a man in his 40s wearing a military uniform and a mustache came over and said to Song Xichen, "Brother Song, we're done here. Look..."
Song Xichen nodded and said, "Thank you for your help, Director Zhou."
The man called Director Zhou walked up to Gui'er and said, "Is this Marshal Sha's daughter? She looks very smart."
Gui'er could only smile and say, "Thank you, Director Zhou."
Then Director Zhou walked to the door and said to the people inside, "Everyone, you have been rescued. Come with me back to the police station to record your statements."
The people in the room were still in shock and agreed hesitantly.
Song Xichen took Gui'er's hand and walked out of the yard. Gui'er saw two or three bodies lying on the ground. The other gangsters were handcuffed and kneeling on the ground. Song Xichen said to her, "I want to see. Let's go."
When they arrived at the police station, Guier realized that Song Xichen actually asked Dagang to protect her secretly. Dagang had been following her from a distance to protect her, so he was the first to know that they were kidnapped to that house, and then notified the Shanghai police station. When the police heard that it was the daughter of a warlord, they did not dare to neglect it. They sent a team of people to ambush outside and waited until the second half of the night when the bandits relaxed before rescuing her.
After recording the statements, everyone could go home. Tong Yujun wanted to send Guier home first, but Tong Yulan's boyfriend quickly said, "Send me home first. My parents must be worried if I don't go home all night."
Song Xichen said, "No need. I'll take Gui'er back. You can go on your own."
Tong Yulan walked up to Song Xichen and said, "Director Song, thank you so much for saving our lives this time. Oh, by the way, can I call you Brother Xichen like Gui'er?"
Song Xichen frowned slightly. Tong Yulan's boyfriend seemed to notice something and quickly stepped forward, holding her hand and saying, "Yulan, let's go."
Tong Yulan wanted to shake off his hand, but she couldn't.
This time, Tong Yujun rolled her eyes mercilessly and said, "Sister, let's go." So Tong Yulan and her boyfriend left awkwardly.
Song Xichen asked, "Who are those two?"
Guier said, "The eldest daughter of the Tong family and her boyfriend."
Song Xichen showed a slightly surprised expression, but soon smiled and shook his head, as if he didn't take it too seriously. Gui'er felt a little relieved.
