C317 Ransom(2)

The kidnapper quickly discovered that he had to have a password to open the hard drive.

The kidnapper who was sitting on the sofa asked Qin Xu: "Mr. Qin, what's the password?"

Qin Xu laughed, but did not answer him, and instead reminded him: "We agreed on a one-on-one deal, and now you have my hard disk, but I still haven't seen Ye Zixing."

The kidnapper on the sofa frowned and said, "Although the hard drive is in my hands now, if you don't tell me the password, how can I tell if the data inside is real or fake?" "Let me get someone to verify the truth before I let him go.

Qin Xu's gaze swept past all of the kidnappers in the room and said: "There are your people everywhere, I'm right here, you can do whatever you want with me, are you afraid that I'll try anything?"

"How about this," Qin Xu paused for a moment, then suggested, "Let's each take a step back. First, let Ye Anne's parents go, then I'll tell you the password to the hard disk.

The kidnapper on the sofa frowned again, and disapprovingly said: "I'm releasing Ye Anne's parents now, what if they call the police?"

Qin Xu said: Isn't Ye Zixing in your hands? With children as a threat, they will not act rashly. "

After all these, the most important hostage was Ye Zixing alone. Mr. Ye was just a "gift" that he didn't need.

Therefore, Qin Xu's suggestion just now could not be considered to be overly excessive.

He reached his hand out to his left ear and touched it twice. Only then did Qin Xu realize that the kidnapper was wearing a Bluetooth earphone on his left ear, but because his hair had grown so long that it covered the earphone, Qin Xu didn't notice it before.

From the reactions of the kidnappers, it was obvious that there was another messenger behind them, and the person who ordered them was most likely Zhao Jun.

Qin Xu waited patiently for a while longer before the kidnapper replied him, "Sure, I'll get someone to release Ye Anne's parents first."

It was obvious, of course, that the man behind the headset had told the kidnapper to say so.

As he said that, the kidnapper stood up from the sofa. As he walked forward, he took out a live video from his phone and handed it to Qin Xu.

On the screen, there was also a group of kidnappers with hoods pushing Mr. Ye out of the carriage.

The car looked old and worn, as if it were about to be scrapped, and it didn't have a license plate. After the Mr. Ye got on the car, the group of kidnappers threw the car keys in through the window and said, "Drive the car away. Don't ever call the police, otherwise, you will never see your grandson again."

Mr. Ye replied humbly: "We swear to never call the police, you better not hurt our daughter …"

When the Mr. Ye started the car and left, the kidnapper quickly tapped on the live video.

"Password?" The other party asked Qin Xu again.

From the video, the Mr. Ye was already safe, so Qin Xu followed the agreement and honestly told him the twelve digits of password.

After the kidnapper entered the password, he indeed opened the hard drive. He ordered someone to quickly compress and organize the data on the hard drive and sent it to a designated mailbox.

After that, there was a long period of time until the data was verified.

The safest way to verify the authenticity of the experimental data was to follow the experimental parameters and restore the experiment once more. If the restore experiment was successful, then the data would prove to be true. If the restore failed multiple times, then the data would be false.

Therefore, verifying the experimental receipt was an extremely time-consuming and tiresome task.

Just as Qin Xu was waiting, as if to pacify him, the kidnapper suddenly brought Ye Zixing into the room.

The first time Qin Xu saw Ye Zixing was in a photo, and this was the first time he saw a real person. Back then, when he saw the photo, he did not feel much of it, but now, when he met Ye Zixing's gaze, his heart suddenly beat faster.

When Ye Zixing was brought in by the bodyguards, he did not cry nor make a fuss. He quickly found Qin Xu in the room. Due to the fact that it was his first time seeing him, he curiously looked at him for a few more moments.

Qin Xu's heart softened at the sight of Ye Zixing's eyes. He almost couldn't control himself and wanted to take away from the kidnapper right away …

However, he was able to restrain himself.

Qin Xu also stared at Ye Zixing, but he restrained himself from revealing his feelings.

Now that there was another person in the room, the time they had to wait for suddenly became less difficult …

At this time, two floors away from Qin Xu's room, Zhao Jun and Chu Xiaoxiao were monitoring his every action.

Qin Xu had guessed right, the mastermind behind the kidnapping of Ye Zixing was Zhao Jun. Of course, Chu Xiaoxiao had also been involved, so the two of them could be considered to be colluding.

However, at this moment, disagreements appeared between the two conspirators.

Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the monitoring screen in front of him, and asked Zhao Jun unhappily: You're really letting Ye Zixing go like this?

"Otherwise?" Zhao Jun looked up and asked, "When I get what I want, I will naturally release him, I really do not want anyone to die."

Although Zhao Jun had initially given Qin Xu the conditions to get him to hand over all the data in the Qin’s laboratory, to be honest, he had only casually mentioned it. He never expected Qin Xu to agree to exchange Ye Zixing for the latest biotechnological data, which was already very satisfying to him.

Without new technology, Lonn's new product launch had to be delayed again and again, leading to a recent drop in share prices. The press conference had to be held, so Zhao Jun kidnapped Ye Zixing out of necessity — He did not do it just to vent his anger on Qin Xu, but also for the sake of his grace.

Once he obtains what he wants, he will, of course, let Ye Zixing go.

Although Zhao Jun was a little shameless when it came to being a human, it was not enough to hurt an innocent child.

However, when Chu Xiaoxiao heard Zhao Jun's reply, the anger on his face deepened and she said, "But even if you let Ye Zixing go, after suffering such a huge loss today, Qin Xu will definitely not let you go."

Zhao Jun said indifferently: "I have been handling this matter very carefully, Qin Xu could not find any evidence to prove that I was the one who did it."

Chu Xiaoxiao did not give up and continued, "Even if there is no evidence, Qin Xu knows that it was you who did it. He will immediately take action against you.

However, Zhao Jun said confidently: "As long as I obtain the latest technology from the Qin’s, then the Longen Technology will be equal to the Qin’s. At that time, I won't have to be afraid of the Qin’s anymore."

After saying that, when Zhao Jun saw that Chu Xiaoxiao's expression was not good, he remembered the grudge between him and Qin Xu, and warned her: "Don't create unnecessary troubles for me, after today's matter, I will definitely benefit you."

Chu Xiaoxiao snorted hatefully, "But I don't care about your so-called benefits. What I want is Qin Xu!"

Zhao Jun shrugged his shoulders and said: "At first, since you're willing to tell me that Ye Zixing is Qin Xu's son, I can still do my best to satisfy you. But if you want Qin Xu, then I can't help you."

Saying that, he gave Chu Xiaoxiao a look that said he had done his best, and turned his head, and stared at the monitor screen again.

Seeing Zhao Jun ignoring his, Chu Xiaoxiao immediately clenched her teeth in anger, but now, it was Zhao Jun's decision. No matter how unhappy she was, no one would listen to her orders.

Chu Xiaoxiao left the room unwillingly.

They were on a floor two levels below Qin Xu's room, and there were even kidnappers hired at the entrance. Therefore, Zhao Jun was not worried that Chu Xiaoxiao would alarm Qin Xu who was upstairs.

Inside the house, Zhao Jun was anxiously waiting for the report from Long En's laboratory. Outside the house, he was just about to take a breather, but when he saw the kidnapper guarding the door, his gaze paused on the wooden warehouse on his waist for a moment. Then, he suddenly had an idea.

The kidnapper who was currently guarding the door was coincidentally one of the kidnappers that had been guarding Ye Zixing and the other two.

If Chu Xiaoxiao's feelings were not wrong, this kidnapper had rather liked her in the past few days they had been together.

Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly leaned towards the kidnapper.

The kidnapper subconsciously leaned back, after being startled for a moment, he asked Chu Xiaoxiao: "Miss Chu, what are you doing?"

Chu Xiaoxiao gave him an ambiguous smile and said, "Once today's matter is settled, we will separate. We might not even have the chance to meet again in the future …"

After a moment, she deliberately dragged out her voice and said, "Don't you want to leave me some good memories?"

Then, ignoring the kidnapper's reaction, she directly tiptoed and kissed the kidnapper.

The kidnapper was stunned for a moment, but quickly replied Chu Xiaoxiao.

The two people's kiss had been lingering for a very long time. Because the kidnapper had a good impression of Chu Xiaoxiao, after the kiss ended, his mood was agitated. Until Chu Xiaoxiao left, he didn't notice in the slightest that the wooden warehouse on his waist had disappeared under his kiss …

Two hours later, Rönn's laboratory finally gave a feedback. The data that Qin Xu sent over was real, the experiment was successful.

Zhao Jun was overjoyed. After giving the order to the kidnappers to release the culprit, he left first.

At the same time, two floors away, in Qin Xu's room, the kidnapper who was sitting on the sofa heard Zhao Jun's order, and turned to wave at the two kidnappers behind Ye Zixing: "Mr. Qin gave the real one to you, release them."

The two of them released Ye Zixing.

Qin Xu hurried forward and hugged her.

Just then, Qin Xu heard the kidnapper say: "Mr. Qin, for safety's sake, I need you and Young Master to stay here for 20 minutes before leaving."

"I must remind you that if you leave this room ahead of time, it will be dangerous." The man warned him again.
