Wang Hu Was Afraid (600 Recommendations Bonus Chapter)

Hoo!!!

Taking a deep breath, Fan Yu nodded. "Fine."

"Name your price. I'll have someone bring the money."

Wang Hu sneered. "If you'd agreed from the start, would things have gotten this bad?"

"Two hundred million."

"One hundred million each for you and your little girlfriend."

Without hesitation, Fan Yu nodded. "Fine. I'll have someone bring it right away."

He took out his phone and called Liu Jian.

"Hello, Boss. How are things over there?"

"I'm heading over with some people now."

Lowering his voice, Fan Yu said, "They have guns and want two hundred million. Prepare it for me. Let's get through today's situation first."

"They have guns?"

"Fuck, who the hell are they? Who the fuck still dares to use guns in this day and age?"

"Alright, Boss. I'll arrange for someone to withdraw the money right away."

Although it was very late, Liu Jian had the means to get that much money on such short notice.

After hanging up, Fan Yu said to Wang Hu, "Two hundred million isn't a small amount. It may take a while."

Wang Hu shook his head. "This isn't the place to handle things. We're changing locations."

"Listen up, all of you. If anyone dares call the police about what happened today, I'll fucking cripple you. I know all your identities, and you all know who I, Wang Hu, am. Don't go looking for death, understand?"

The rich second-generation heirs all nodded. Anyone who came to race had some status, and no one wanted to provoke this kind of trouble.

"Come with me."

Several thugs carried the duffel bags full of cash and forced Fan Yu and Su Xi into an SUV before leaving Baihui Mountain.

Not long after Fan Yu and the others left, Zhang Tie arrived with the security personnel.

Seeing that Miss was nowhere to be found on Baihui Mountain, Zhang Tie grabbed someone and asked, "Where are they?"

"Where is Miss?"

The rich second-generation heir was terrified of Wang Hu's influence and did not dare say a word.

Just then, Xie Yuqing walked over. "They were taken away by Wang Hu. He demanded two hundred million in ransom before he'll release them."

"You are?" Zhang Tie asked in confusion.

"I'm Fan Yu's aunt," Xie Yuqing said.

"So you're Son-in-law's aunt. Do you know where Wang Hu took Son-in-law and Miss?"

Xie Yuqing shook her head. "I don't know, but Liu Jian does. He went to get the ransom, and Wang Hu will definitely tell him the location."

Zhang Tie's expression turned cold. "Has Wang Hu lost his fucking mind? He even dared kidnap the boss's daughter? He really has a death wish."

Since he had failed to rescue Miss, Zhang Tie did not dare hide it and hurriedly called Su Tianlong.

Su Tianlong's dignified voice came through. "Hello."

"Boss, Miss has been kidnapped," Zhang Tie said carefully.

There was no response from the other end for a long time. Just as Zhang Tie's nerves tightened to the limit—

"Who did it?" Su Tianlong's voice was calm, without the slightest hint of panic.

"According to Son-in-law's aunt, Wang Hu did it. It seems Son-in-law and Miss won the race at Baihui Mountain. Wang Hu was unwilling to pay the huge prize money, got into a conflict with Son-in-law, and then used a gun to force Son-in-law and Miss away."

Zhang Tie repeated to Su Tianlong what Xie Yuqing had told him.

"Has Wang Hu had enough of living? He dared lay a hand on my, Su Tianlong's, daughter?"

Su Tianlong said over the phone, "Don't make a fuss yet. It would be best if we can ransom Xixi and Fan Yu back first. I'll deal with Wang Hu afterward."

"Yes, Boss."

After hanging up, Zhang Tie said, "Come with me."

The hundred or so security personnel who had just gotten out of their vehicles climbed back in, and the convoy headed down the mountain.

Seeing Zhang Tie's display of force, the rich second-generation heirs who had witnessed everything were all frightened.

Just who were Fan Yu and Su Xi? Judging from these men in suits alone, their backgrounds had to be terrifying.

Xie Yuqing sat in Zhang Tie's car. After entering the city, Zhang Tie intended to let her out.

Xie Yuqing shook her head. "Fan Yu is my nephew. I can't just stand by and do nothing. Take me with you to have a look. Maybe I can help somehow."

Inside a rundown warehouse, Fan Yu and Su Xi were tied together.

Fan Yu asked, "Are you scared?"

Su Xi shook her head. "What's there to be afraid of? Before Wang Hu gets the money, he won't dare kill us. Father will definitely find a way to save us."

Fan Yu couldn't help but smile wryly. "What a mess this turned into. I only won some money to buy you jewelry, yet it caused such a huge commotion."

Su Xi smiled sweetly. "Isn't this just what they mean by good things taking time? You'd better buy me nicer jewelry to make it up to me."

Fan Yu smiled faintly. "I'll buy out the whole jewelry store and give it to you."

"Fine, you said it. I'll be waiting."

Meanwhile, Wang Hu, who was making a phone call in a corner of the warehouse, was being berated by the person on the other end.

"Young Master told you to watch over the place, and you fucking made such a huge mess? How am I supposed to explain this to my family now?"

"Kidnapping? Heh, you actually dared to do something like that."

"I'm telling you, take the money and release them immediately. Then get the hell out of the country and never come back, or I'll kill you."

Wang Hu hurriedly nodded. "Don't worry, Young Master Lu. Once I get the money, I'll leave overnight. I definitely won't come back."

After hanging up, Wang Hu let out a sigh of relief. He had only kidnapped Fan Yu and Su Xi in a moment of hotheadedness.

Now that things had escalated, all that mattered was making sure the higher-ups weren't alerted. Once he got the money, he would run immediately.

As for how he would escape, after all these years in the business, he had long since prepared for it.

"Well, well, you two still have time to chat?"

"Aren't you afraid I'll do something to both of you?"

Wang Hu walked over and saw Fan Yu and Su Xi chatting and laughing. He couldn't help teasing them.

Fan Yu smiled. "You're only after money. You don't want anyone dead, because if things get too big, you won't be able to escape either."

"Once my people bring the money, you can leave. I won't come after you."

Wang Hu nodded. "That's more like it. If everyone in the world were as sensible as you, there wouldn't be so many people who don't follow the rules, getting kidnapped and killed."

"But your little girlfriend is something else. With a face like that, she's as beautiful as a fairy. This is the first time Brother Hu has ever seen someone like her."

Fan Yu shook his head. "If you touch us, you won't get a single cent. Brother Hu should think it over carefully."

"Fine. What you said makes sense, kid. Then we'll wait for your people to bring the money."

Meanwhile, at a bank in Magic City, Liu Jian had already begun loading money into a vehicle.

Liu Jian had not arranged for this money himself. Su Tianlong had called and told the bank manager to activate the VIP channel so the cash could be withdrawn.

As a trillionaire tycoon, he naturally had that kind of influence.

Zhang Tie had already arrived and asked Liu Jian, "Do you know where Son-in-law and Miss are?"

Liu Jian nodded. "A warehouse in the western suburbs. It used to be a Paper Mill, but it's abandoned now."

"Fine. Once Miss and Son-in-law are rescued, I'll personally throw Wang Hu into the Huangpu River."

More than twenty vehicles sped toward the warehouse in the western suburbs.

On the way, Xie Yuqing said, "No, there are too many people. Wang Hu might notice. One or two cars will do. Have the others wait outside. It'd be best to surround the Paper Mill so Wang Hu can't escape."

"Miss Xie is right. I'll go with President Liu. Everyone else stays behind. Don't alarm Wang Hu," Zhang Tie said.

After the order was given, the convoy behind them stopped several kilometers from the Paper Mill. The security personnel got out and headed toward the Paper Mill on foot.

When they arrived outside the Paper Mill, Xie Yuqing said, "I'll deliver the ransom."

"At least Wang Hu won't be so nervous."

"Miss Xie, be careful."

Zhang Tie and Liu Jian both nodded. At a time like this, let alone two hundred million, even two billion or twenty billion was unimportant. What mattered was rescuing Fan Yu and Su Xi safely.

Inside the dilapidated warehouse, Xie Yuqing slowly drove a car over.

Wang Hu's underlings immediately stepped forward and surrounded Xie Yuqing.

Fan Yu's expression remained unchanged when he saw Xie Yuqing. The two exchanged a look.

"I brought the money. You should keep your promise now," Xie Yuqing said as she got out of the car.

Wang Hu gestured, and his underlings got into the vehicle to inspect it. When they saw the neatly packed stacks of hundred-yuan notes inside, their hearts raced with excitement. After counting and confirming that the amount was correct, they called out to him.

"Fine. You kept your word, so I, Wang Hu, will keep mine too. Release them. We're leaving."

"By the way, did you find anyone else nearby?"

One of the underlings said, "Brother Hu, we didn't find anyone nearby. There's only this one car."

"Good. Let's go."

The warehouse's back door opened. Wang Hu climbed into the car with his gun raised, then drove away from the warehouse.

Xie Yuqing walked over and untied Fan Yu and Su Xi. "You two really had a lot of nerve. Why did you have to be so impulsive? You should've given up that little bit of money back then. Once you were safe, you could've gone after Wang Hu again. He's not some nobody, and he wouldn't have been too hard to find."

Fan Yu shook his head. "Auntie, I never expected Wang Hu to have a gun, much less dare to kidnap and hold us hostage."

In his previous life, Fan Yu had only been an ordinary person. He had never encountered real gangsters before. Who would have thought there were people this crazy?

They actually carried guns on them, and these people were so deranged that they even dared to commit kidnapping.

Su Xi rubbed her wrist and asked coldly, "Are Zhang Tie and the others outside?"

"Miss Su, Zhang Tie's men have already surrounded the warehouse. Wang Hu won't be able to escape," Xie Yuqing replied.

"Let's go." Su Xi waved a hand.

When they reached the warehouse entrance, Zhang Tie and Liu Jian had already come forward to meet them.

"Miss, are you all right?"

"Boss, are you all right?"

Fan Yu shook his head. "I'm fine. That was pretty exciting."

Meanwhile, Wang Hu's car had already been stopped.

Several security guards held batons, while Li Ming stepped out from the crowd.

"Wang Hu, you've got some nerve. You actually dared to abduct the boss's daughter. Let's see how you plan to leave Magic City."

"Fuck, Li Ming, you're saying I abducted Su Tianlong's daughter?"

Wang Hu's expression changed drastically, and even the hand holding his gun began to tremble.

He knew Li Ming—the captain of Su Tianlong's security team, an exceptionally formidable man. If not for certain reasons, he never would have retired from service.

Li Ming had made a serious mistake. Without orders from his superiors, he had infiltrated an enemy base alone and triggered its self-destruct protocol. If not for his immense military achievements, he never would have been allowed to retire so peacefully.

Li Ming said blandly, "What do you think?"

At that moment, Wang Hu's heart trembled. Yet he also felt a trace of regret. If he had known the person he had abducted was Su Xi, he never would have let her go so easily. No matter what, he would have waited until he was completely safe before releasing her.
