Chapter 221: Life Over Money
Chapter 221: Life Over Money
Cao Erdan had barely hung up the phone when the other party called again:
"Cao Erdan, if you don't come, we'll kill you right now."
"Tear it apart, tear it into tiny pieces, whatever you do, don't let him come back to life!"
The people over there were also very angry.
They originally thought that by exploiting Cao Erdan's weakness, they could coerce him into coming over.
As a result, Cao Erdan didn't care at all.
They seemed even more eager than the rest of them for Old Ghost Wang to die.
"Beat him! Make sure this kid hears you!"
The sound of someone being hit could be heard from over there; the sound of the whip hitting flesh was very realistic.
Old Wang cried out to heaven and earth:
"Cao Erdan, you have to save me! You can't let my daughter get away with this!"
Seeing that he was not getting a response, Wang Laogui began to plead with the kidnappers.
"Grandpas, please stop hitting me! My daughter is very beautiful, how about I give her to you?"
Cao Erdan frowned. This old guy was as selfish and shameless as ever!
Then someone over there gave an order:
"Beat them until they die!"
Old Wang cried out:
"It's no use killing me. If you want Cao Erdan to give you money, don't kidnap me. He still has women back home. I'll take you to Hetang Village..."
Cao Erdan was so angry that he wanted to reach out and strangle him over the phone.
I thought Wang Laogui was a despicable and shameless person.
To survive, he would even help his opponent make moves.
Since the other party wants to take the money themselves, let's go and see who has the audacity to do that.
"Where are you? It's just ten million, I'll give it to you!"
Old Wang over there immediately shouted with joy:
"They've agreed to take the money. See? I knew Cao Erdan wouldn't abandon his woman's father!"
A man on the other end of the line answered the phone.
Tell Cao Erdan:
"Get to the Fumingshan bus stop in the northern suburbs of Binhai City, someone will pick you up!"
"Okay, I'm coming!"
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Cao Erdan's eyes.
They're threatening me with the people around me; I'll kill them!
He doesn't care whether Wang Laogui lives or dies.
Even if you light a sky lantern, it has nothing to do with you.
However, if these people refuse to give up, they will inevitably seek out the people they care about!
It would be troublesome if they used their own friends to blackmail them.
Li Mengdie, Bi Xiaohe, and Bi Yangyang—none of these girls who are devoted to him can be in danger!
So Cao Erdan said to Qin Lu:
"Have someone prepare ten million in cash for me!"
Qin Lu said worriedly:
"Shall I have Shi Wentai bring some men to go with you?"
Cao Erdan smiled slightly, shook his head, and said:
"Need not!"
If the other party is just a low-level thug, no one needs to help.
If the opponent is a cultivator, then bringing ordinary thugs would be a burden.
It's better to be alone; you'll be more free to come and go as you please!
Before long, two large suitcases were ready.
Each one weighs over 100 kilograms.
"Holy crap, ten million in cash?"
Qin Lu smiled and said:
"There's still over 700,000 short of being put in, but I doubt the robbers could investigate that thoroughly!"
Cao Erdan nodded:
"Well, this is just bait. Consider it a loan; I'll have someone get it back later!"
Cao Erdan didn't drive; he called a taxi instead.
Head straight to the northern suburbs.
After watching Cao Erdan get into the car and leave, Qin Lu picked up the phone and called Shi Wentai.
She doesn't have to go with him, but she's really worried about Cao Erdan going by himself.
Cao Erdan took a bus and got off at the Fumingshan bus stop in the northern suburbs.
Wait at the bus stop.
Looking around, I sensed that someone was spying on us from the woods not far away.
He pretended not to know.
Take out your phone and dial:
"I've arrived, and I've brought the money!"
"Okay, did you come alone?"
"Your men are watching me. I came by taxi, but the taxi has already left. What are you afraid of?"
A cold laugh came from over there:
"That's good. I'll have someone pick you up now!"
Another taxi drove up.
The driver was a burly man with a fierce face.
He glanced at the box in Cao Erdan's hand as he parked the car:
"open to take a look."
With no one around, Cao Erdan opened the box and showed it to him.
The brightly colored banknotes made the burly man's pupils dilate.
"Okay, get in the car! I'll take you to pick someone up!"
Cao Erdan put the box into the trunk.
Then he slowly and deliberately sat down.
At that moment, he sensed something was wrong.
These people's thoughts may not be entirely about money!
The car started, and the person hidden in the woods made a phone call:
"Master, Cao Erdan is here. He's alone; Old Zhang has already driven him up!"
A smug smile crept onto Yin Daozhong's lips on the other end of the phone.
Turn around and give the order:
"Get ready, the prey is here!"
He had already set up traps on the mountain.
Dig a deep pit to lure tigers and leopards, use musk bait to catch golden turtles!
Cao Erdan drove his car along the mountain road.
After walking for a few minutes, we came across an abandoned wood factory.
Driver stops the car:
"Go in, the person you're looking for is inside!"
Cao Erdan got off the bus.
The driver is about to drive away.
Suddenly, I felt the car swerve.
Then the world started spinning.
"Call"
Cao Erdan flipped the car over, leaving it upside down.
The driver quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and climbed out.
Cao Erdan grabbed him by the collar and dragged him out like a dead dog:
"Take me inside to find someone, or you'll suffer a terrible death!"
"No, I don't know where they are!"
"You'll know."
"I really do not know!"
"Click"
Cao Erdan kicked the driver, causing a comminuted fracture of his left kneecap.
He screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
"Now you know? You didn't know you wouldn't be able to save your left leg either!"
As he spoke, Cao Erdan stepped on his left leg again.
"Ah, no, no, it's right in the yard, right in the yard!"
Are you a member of the Sangmen?
The driver's eyes showed fear:
"how do you know?"
"answer me!"
Cao Erdan pressed down hard with his foot, and the driver, in pain, quickly nodded.
"Yes, yes, we were all temporarily transferred here from northern Sichuan by the sect leader!"
Cao Erdan noticed that the accents on the phone and the driver's accents were similar to Yin Daozhong's.
So I guessed he was from the Sangmen, and I was right.
As the leader of the Sang Clan, it's impossible for him to kidnap someone and extort such a small sum as ten million.
So he only has one goal.
It's about drawing yourself here.
I want to kill myself!
Cao Erdan had no other grudges against him; he only took action to teach Qin Lu a lesson because his disciple Fan Yan had harassed her.
Yin Daozhong, unable to save face, decided to clean up his own mess.
However, hatred was also sown in his heart.
Qin Shouye once said that Yin Daozhong was a vindictive person.
Therefore, he might want to kill himself to avenge Fan Yan!
Regardless of his motives.
The fact that he tricked himself into coming here is a suicidal provocation!
Cao Erdan carried the helpless driver into the wood factory compound.
This place has been abandoned for who knows how long, and is overgrown with weeds.
In some places, the water was waist-deep.
Cao Erdan had sharp eyes and had noticed the slightest movement.
Many people were hiding in the bushes in the courtyard.
Cao Erdan gave a cold laugh:
"If you want to kill me, come out. What are you doing, sneaking around like this?"
"shhhhhh"
A gust of wind blew, and a hail of arrows was unleashed.
Suddenly, more than twenty people jumped up and fired crossbow bolts.
The crossbow bolts flew in, their tips gleaming blue in the sunlight.
It is clearly highly poisonous.
Holy crap, they really wanted to kill us; they weren't after the money.
