Chapter 8 What can I choose in a hurry, life and death abandoning the cliff(1/2)
As for the puzzle of how the Blue Moon mobilized the H-6K, I also got the answer in the subsequent news. It turned out that the air defense identification zone in the waters around the Xisha Islands in the South China Sea received a fuel tank leak from four US B52 bombers, which required China to dispatch air refueling support. Today, the H-6K bomber was in escort and just in case.
As for why the bomber suddenly flew at low altitude in my area, it seems to be due to the US request. The US said that the b52 bomber found that the fire control system was suspected to be faulty during self-inspection. The special thermal bomb it carried by the US military may explode at a high altitude or even have electromagnetic interference to electronic equipment within a range of several thousand meters. Therefore, the H-6K had to lower the altitude. The b52 bomber kept a low altitude flight for a certain distance before completing the self-inspection of the fire control system.
As the answers to the puzzles came to light, I felt more and more unfathomable as Master Lan Yue’s profoundness and incredibleness. His methods emerged one after another. He seemed to be able to mobilize military weapons from any place in the world in a short time and acquire any company in the world. It was like God.
This is also the reason why I dare not use Master Lan Yue’s power. Although Master Lan Yue almost always responds to his requests, his means to realize my wish are too shocking and crazy, which makes me feel very scary. If I continue to develop like this, I even worry that Master Lan Yue will become a more terrifying threat than the kidnappers, so I can only stay away from him and try not to ask for help if I can do so.
For thirty years, I have been just an ordinary person, and I don’t want to be involved in the inexplicable game between those big guys. Although these things have become inevitable facts.
After reading the news, I fell into deep thoughts, and my mind was filled with thoughts, both nervous, fearful, and anxious. I also expressed my confusion about my future. The only thing I could use to temporarily stabilize my emotions was to write the memories of the man named Gao Tianfeng in the notebook I bought based on my vague memories. During this period, I also sought the help of confinement. It took me two hours to produce a book of the World that looked 80% similar to the real "Ordinary World". I also found a printing factory to make people burn the cover, and the words "Ordinary World" and "2% completion".
After doing this, I sent a message to the kidnappers, which was:
I have transferred the captain's authority to others. Our current team members include Confinement, Xueqi, James and Xu Bin, but we are separated now. They have all gone to different places now. I don't know who the authority is, but those few people may be transferred by others. We made an appointment to transfer the authority regularly, but who they transfer to depends on their mood and relationship.
After sending this message, my heart was full of buckets. If the kidnappers thought I was threatening them and vented their anger on Xueqi, it would be a big trouble.
So I sent another message, which said:
Xueqi has a heart disease and cannot withstand torture. If you don’t believe it, you can check out Xu Bin’s mobile chat history.
There is no more solution, so I can only use this trick to temporarily save Xueqi's life. When I sent this message, my fingers were covered with sweat beads, and I pressed the sending button twice before I pressed it firmly.
The next few hours were really too difficult for me. The mosquitoes on the lawn of the park and the tension in my heart almost made me crazy. I couldn't sleep, but I couldn't find anything else to do. After talking to the confinement and the others, I saw that there were 61% of the cell phone batteries left, so I decided to call alone.
Three minutes later, I called the person.
It was Ma Bailong's phone number.
"Hey, is it Uncle Yang?" Ma Bailong's voice was very hoarse. He could hear that he was very haggard and tired, but he still asked me straight to the point with a hint of expectation, "Xueqi...Is she back?"
"No." I replied coldly. "Do you still have the face to ask this?"
After Ma Bailong was silent for a while, he said to me:
"My dad...he was under double supervision."
"I know." I said calmly.
"My grandpa...he was removed from office."
"I also know that news on the entire network is reporting this."
"My adoptive father, he... went bankrupt."
"So what."
"My mom...had been kidnapped too."
"oh."
"And my brother... he was injured by you and is in the hospital now."
"That's what he deserves." I said lightly, not leaving any affection for Ma Bailong.
After Ma Bailong was silent for a while, he said in a hoarse voice:
"Is this your revenge on me? Uncle Yang. It's so amazing, really amazing. I can't resist it at all and have no ability to resist. You... are so scary."
"Haha, you're thinking too much, I'm not that capable. I'm just the chairman of a local city enterprise. I don't have the ability to move those big shots." I sneered.
Ma Bailong said intermittently:
"Do you know, Uncle Yang, today, I have thought about committing suicide more than ten times. I'm even standing next to the roof of a house now. As long as I take a step, I can end it."
My heart trembled suddenly, but in the end I still said disdainfully:
"Haha, what does it have to do if you die? If you miss, just die. Anyway, the rich second generation like you who rely on your family to help you up like this. Without a backer, you will be like mud. You will be pushed and you will fall to death."
"Haha... Maybe you're right." Ma Bailong's self-deprecating voice came, "But Uncle Yang, I still want to thank you. Although I have suffered a lot of blows, when I think of your past, my mood will be much calmer. Uncle Yang, I heard from Xueqi that your parents divorced since you were young, and your father died in high school. After that, you have been dependent on Xueqi and lived for more than ten years. You have no other relatives, but you have just worked alone to this point. When you think of this, I think I may not be the worst. So I really want to thank you, Uncle Yang. Now I understand why you love Xueqi so much, because she is really important to you. Now I really hope that there is someone around you. Even if she can't help me, it doesn't matter. As long as you can be with me, it's enough."
I smiled coldly:
"Yes, it's not enough to harm Qiqi, right? You still want to harm other women? I've seen through people like you!"
"I'm sorry." Ma Bailong said guiltily, "Uncle Yang. I'm sorry for you and Qiqi. I used to be too ostentatious and couldn't see many things clearly. Now I suddenly have nothing, and I realized that I used to be too domineering. Maybe it's up to you to be the one who has the consequences of this now."
I couldn't help but feel a little excited when I heard Ma Bailong's words:
"You are the one who deserves it? This sentence is well said! You are the one who deserves it. You only know that you are in love and live a comfortable life. Have you ever thought about Qiqi? You are the second generation ancestor like you, you should be damned and lose one! I regret it now, I will tell you if you are too late! If you stand in front of me now, can I just break you into two parts or not? Do you believe it??"
"I believe..." Ma Bailong said softly, "I wish I could be like this, maybe it would be a little more comfortable... Uncle Yang, I have nothing now, but I miss Xueqi more and more. Only by saving her is my only thought. I suddenly saw everything else, and I didn't care."
"Save her? What about after saving her? Continue to coax and deceive Qiqi and stay together, right? If I would let you be together, my fucking surname would not be Yang!" I said mercilessly.
"No... I was not qualified to be with her since Xueqi was kidnapped in front of me... Even if I save her, I have no shame to be with her anymore. I will leave... I can jump off the building and commit suicide. But now I just want to save her." Ma Bailong said weakly, with deep fatigue in his voice.
I took a deep breath, calmed my anger, and said lightly:
"It doesn't matter if you die to save Qiqi?"
"Yes, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter at all." Ma Bailong answered me in a misty voice.
"Okay." My chest was undulating, and I squeezed out a sound from my teeth. "Then, I want you to come to see me now. I have a way to save Qiqi, but someone needs to be gunned down... Simply put, from now on, I want you to be my substitute."
After hearing my plan, Ma Bailong did not refuse. After that, I simply told him about my plan to rescue Xueqi.
Apart from Xueqi, we have no more conversations. Although I repeatedly reminded Ma Bailong that I am just the chairman of an ordinary pharmaceutical company and do not have that much ability, I also know that Ma Bailong actually knows that I am the culprit of his family, but the problem is that even he can't figure out how I did it.
If I really have the ability to destroy the Ma family easily, at least I don’t have to work hard to save Xueqi now.
Of course, I didn't tell Ma Bailong about the Book of Worlds. I only told him that the purpose of kidnapping Xueqi was to ask for the secret medicine formula of our company. Apart from that, there was no need for Ma Bailong to know too much. I sent Ma Bailong the map of Dongqiao and the photos I took in Dongqiao during the day to Ma Bailong, asking him to study it carefully by himself, and then told him what I asked him to do.
I didn't give Ma Bailong any affection. I told him directly that even if he was unwilling to do it, I could find someone else to do it. It doesn't matter whether he has him or not. But Ma Bailong gave me a positive answer.
"Let me do it...if Xueqi can really be rescued..."
After hearing this, I didn't listen to him continue to talk nonsense, and hung up the phone directly. After hanging up the phone, I received a message from the kidnapper:
"If you think we are fools, just drive the hearse to pick up people."
Seeing this sentence, a strong sense of fear grabbed me like a demon's claw, and I became extremely cold.
They got it.
They... saw through my intentions?
If this is true, Xueqi may have encountered an unexpected accident! My heart was beating. My hands holding the phone were trembling, and various emotions were intertwined in my heart. More than once, I saw the terrible scene of being abused and bruised all over my body and even being dismembered by five horses. Thinking of such a scene, I could almost burn myself.
I was uneasy and almost gave up my plan and compromised, but in the end, I still sent a text message:
"What I said is true, please don't treat Xueqi! As long as you don't harm her, it doesn't matter if you kill me!"
After that, the other party never replied. I was anxious and tossed and turned in the tent and couldn't sleep. Finally, I knew that it was impossible for me to continue to stay in the tent. After struggling in my heart, I still carried my travel bag, and then I went to a dam section that was thousands of meters away from Dongjiang. While the night was dark, I took off my shoes and changed into shallow fins, put on a diving suit and oxygen cylinder, and carried a plastic waterproof bag with guns directly.
I jumped into the bottom of the Dongjiang River, and then I touched the stones at the bottom of the water along the shallow bank of the dam, dragging arms weapons, and dragging oil paper bags bit by bit with nylon ropes and oil paper bags. Along the way, my ankles and soles were scratched by the gravel under the water. When I really couldn't stand it, I secretly drilled my head out of the water and turned off the oxygen cylinder to rest for a while. I put my phone in a waterproof bag so that even if I was under the water, I could still call the confinement and Ma Bailong to talk to him.
The next moment was the most difficult time for me. I don’t know if the kidnappers would ambush near the bamboo raft under the East Bridge before dawn to investigate the terrain. So when I was still a few hundred meters away from the East Bridge, I was completely underwater and forced myself not to bubble. The river water in mid-October had turned cold, and one night under the river, I was so cold that I almost numb. Fortunately, I thought of this in advance, prepared a warm baby in advance, put a few pieces on my body and wrapped it in a plastic bag on me, so that I could warm up a little.
I secretly swam under the bamboo raft. With the bamboo raft as a cover, it was impossible for the people above to find me. I tied a thin rope directly under the bamboo raft, so that even if the bamboo raft moves, I can follow me.
Next, it's time to wait.
This is the longest waiting in my life. Every minute is like spending in hell. I am like a traveler who has lost his way in the desert. I don’t know what the future will be, so I can only wait.
Waiting for life or death.
One minute...two minutes...one hour...two hours...
There is no concept of time under the river. There is only darkness in the water at night, as if it is too fast.
It's like... I'm the only one left in the whole world.
It was not until a few hours later that the sun shone into the bottom of the water and illuminated the pebbles under the water that I felt like the whole world was coming back to life. At that time, for the first time, I really felt that the sun was really an extremely beautiful thing.
Then, my phone received a text message from Ma Bailong:
"Uncle Yang, it's already eight o'clock. I will arrive at Dongqiao in five minutes."
I used gloves to press the two letters "ok" on the key-type mobile phone keyboard and sent it over, and then, I started waiting.
Ma Bailong carries the forged Book of the World that I hid in the park. According to the plan, he will take the book I forged, then put on my coat, trousers, leather shoes, gloves, knitted hat, sunglasses, and stick a fake beard on his chin. Then, let the people from the film and television crew he knows apply his skin and eyes deeper, dress up as me as possible and put the book on the bamboo raft and cut the rope of the bamboo raft.
The real me lurked directly under the bamboo raft, drifting with the bamboo raft to the place where the kidnappers were waiting, and attacking the base camp directly.
The reason why I asked Ma Bailong to cooperate with my plan was because he and I were relatively close to each other. Although his character was slightly taller than me, I couldn't tell it after wearing a taller knitted hat. What's more, Ma Bailong knew some people from makeup teams. In this regard, he had connections, and only he was the most suitable for me to be my substitute, so I could only use him.
To be honest, let alone Ma Bailong, even I think this plan is really ridiculous. It's really ridiculous.
It's ridiculous that I want to laugh.
Such a ridiculous plan...will I really succeed?
Just fifteen minutes later, I suddenly felt the thin nylon rope wrapped around my arm pulling three times. This was my previous secret code to Ma Bailong, asking him to put the book on the bamboo raft, and when he cut the bamboo raft, he deliberately used his feet to shake the bamboo raft three times to drive my rope under the water to shake it three times, so that I knew where the plan was going. Then I asked Ma Bailong to return to his car. If someone wanted to catch him, he would run away quickly and throw away the kidnappers as much as possible. Of course, I said this not to comfort Ma Bailong, but to let him lead some people away as much as possible for me.
Soon I felt the bamboo raft start to float, and the thin nylon rope connected to the bamboo raft began to straighten, prompting me to swim forward. I raised my head and stiffened my neck to watch the shadow of the bamboo raft pass by the bright water surface. I also swam desperately to follow the speed of the bamboo raft. Although I ambushed at the bottom of the water for one night, my body and mind were almost at the limit, but I still tried for Xueqi. As for the oil paper bag containing the gun, I put a small piece of plastic foam under it to increase the buoyancy and hung it directly under the bamboo raft, so that these heavy guns can try not to affect my slashing hands and feet when I swim.
The bamboo rafts were swimming slowly in a fixed direction at a constant speed along with the river. I knew that Wang Bin must be monitoring the rafting status of the bamboo raft in real time on the riverside. Maybe different people were watching from a distance to contact each other, but the police would definitely not be able to find the people monitored by the police. Even if they were arrested, it might not be useful. They just need to lie and claim that they are passers-by.
Dongjiang is really long. I had thought of all possibilities before, but I finally found that I overestimated my physical strength. Under the water, I had only been paddling for a few hundred meters and started to pant. This was a long swim that didn't take a break at all. If the bamboo raft swam for thousands of meters before stopping, I'm afraid I would be ruined.
It was less than a thousand meters away, but I began to feel a great problem, because I found that my hands and feet had begun to fall into a stiff state. If the kidnappers intercepted the bamboo raft a few kilometers later, I would definitely sink to the bottom of the river without any effort before that. But if I give up halfway, I would never be able to chase the kidnappers and find Xueqi.
what to do?
To be continued...
