"You almost got discovered."
In the alley entrance of the school, the sneaky man that Wei Ziqi had seen earlier was pulled in by a student.
This student was also wearing a mask, so his face couldn't be seen clearly. One could only tell from his clothes that he was from the same school as Miaomiao and the others.
"What are you doing? Discovered what? I'm just here to pick up a kid after school!"
The man was extremely nervous and quickly denied it.
The student scoffed. Obviously, he didn't believe the man's words. He said casually, "Guo Cheng, male, 25 years old, unmarried and childless. He's not a native of Nancheng and has no relatives here. You're here to pick up a kid? Whose kid are you picking up?"
"You've been investigating me?"
The man became even more nervous and involuntarily took two steps back.
"Don't be so tense. I can probably guess what you're here for. I think we're probably not enemies."
"What exactly do you mean?" The man became even more vigilant. The junior high - school - uniformed teenager in front of him made him feel a chill just by speaking.
It had something to do with the teenager's personal aura. The man always felt that this teenager was like a poisonous snake, with an indescribable viciousness and cold - bloodedness in his eyes. But seeing that the teenager was so young, the man wasn't quite sure about his own thoughts.
"It's nothing. In July this year, you offended Lin Miaomiao. Her father is a giant in Nancheng. If he stamps his foot, the whole place will tremble. You offended her, lost your job, and got a compensation. You had an online relationship, and this compensation was scammed away. Your credit card was maxed out. You kept looking for a job, but no matter how hard you tried, you couldn't find one. Even if you went to work as a cashier or a security guard in a supermarket, you'd be fired on the second day of employment. You had no money and couldn't pay off your credit card, so you borrowed usury online. Since you couldn't find a job, you couldn't pay off these loans, so you kept borrowing new loans to pay off the old ones. Now, with interest compounded, you're in debt for 500,000 yuan. You're at the end of your rope now, right? What did you come to the school for today? Kidnapping? Revenge?"
The student recounted the young man's experiences in the past period without any emotional fluctuations.
The feeling of having one's secrets completely exposed was truly creepy.
"Why do you care what I'm going to do? What, are you going to call the police and arrest me now? If you have the guts, do it! I haven't done anything yet, and you have no evidence."
The man stuck out his neck and roared.
"Why would I arrest you? Didn't I just say in advance that we're probably on the same side now? I don't like classmate Lin Miaomiao either. If you can get rid of this person I hate for me, I'll pay off all your debts."
"What do you want to do?"
"I want to see her dead."
Hearing this, the man was completely stunned. He had thought about using illegal means to get some money, but he would never dare to kill someone.
"I can't do this. Find someone else."
After the man refused, he wanted to run away, but the student behind him stopped him in his tracks.
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave. Let me put it this way. The children from our families always have bodyguards with them when they go out. You can't see them openly, but there are plenty of them in the shadows. If you want to kidnap someone, you'll be grabbed the moment you reach out your hand. Even if you go out to work now, you probably won't be able to pay off the debt you owe in your lifetime. Your life in the second half will basically be ruined. Do you really want your parents to sell their cars and houses to pay off your debts when you can't hide it anymore? Forget about kidnapping. But there are many quiet ways to make someone die. Tomorrow they'll go to a newly - developed farmhouse in the countryside. They've been there once before, and there won't be any bodyguards with them the second time. The countryside there is close to the mountains. After you finish the deed, you can run into the mountains. On the third day, cross the mountains, and I'll prepare a car for you. Then I'll safely send you out of Nancheng. If you can run away successfully, no one will know it was you who did it. Besides paying off your debts, I'll give you an extra sum of money. Do you want to do it or not? Think it over. I need an answer now. The opportunity is only available tomorrow. It's up to you whether you can seize it or not."
The student's words made the man hesitate. The future he described was like a dark and endless hell.
Did he really have to live such a life?
He graduated from a top - tier university and had always been the pride of his family since childhood. When he was young, his parents had forced him to study every day. After finally making it through, was he going to spend the rest of his life in poverty and debt?
The man definitely didn't want that. He wavered a little and turned back to ask, "How much money can you give me? How can I trust you?"
"The 500,000 yuan is for clearing your debt. I'll give you an extra 1,000,000 yuan. Here's the bank card. The password is the initial password of six zeros. You can go to the bank to check the balance. You can take it away now. But don't even think about deceiving me. If I can find out what you've been doing recently, I can find out your home address and your identity background. If you try to run away, you probably won't be able to."
The student took out a bank card from his pocket and held it out. The man already believed his words. When he took the bank card, his eyes glowed with greed.
1.5 million yuan. A man who was born in a small county since childhood had never seen so much money in his life.
"But I've never killed anyone. You have to help me prepare the tools, plan the route, and make sure I can get away."
"No problem. That's what I should do."
...
Early the next morning, Miaomiao and Lin Yao went to pick up their friends together.
Yes, Lin Yao was also going to the farmhouse this time.
His actions were restricted. He couldn't go out of the province at most, and he even had to report in advance if he wanted to leave Nancheng. This time, his daughter and the others were just going to the countryside in Nancheng, so his going there wouldn't have any impact.
Finally, he could fulfill his wish of traveling with his daughter. Lin Yao would never miss this opportunity. Last time, he couldn't get away because of a meeting, and Miaomiao had made the decision on a whim. He hadn't had any preparations. But this time was different.
Miaomiao had decided a month in advance to go to the farmhouse again. During this period, Lin Yao had compressed all his work and saved a whole week to accompany his daughter to have a good time around Nancheng.
They would spend the first two days at the farmhouse with his daughter, then go to the hot - spring resort owned by Yao Mingxuan's family for the next two days. There was a newly - opened ski resort recently, and finally, they would go to the amusement park.
This was truly a perfect holiday.
The silly dad had a wonderful plan in mind, but when he opened the car door, his daughter's friends were almost scared to death at the sight of Lin Yao.
Yao Mingxuan and Cheng Ruan: May I ask what I need to pay attention to when traveling with a big shot? Waiting online. Urgent.
