Ling Chen was also observing his surroundings. A three-storey dilapidated building was situated in the east, and the other three directions were filled with piles of rubbish. The stench that shot into the sky caused him to frown, and his gaze towards Jane Fan became firmer, "Leave the matter of saving Niu Niu to me." I swear, I will hand her over to you unharmed! "
"Ling Chen, I don't want Niu Niu to be the second Zhou Tong!" Jane Fan flatly refused.
That stubborn nature of hers made Ling Chen very angry. He lifted her up and swung his sword towards her neck, bringing the unconscious Jian Fan back into the car.
"Song Chengyou, come and look at Jian Fan." Ling Chen picked up the phone, spoke for a while, then hung up. Ling Chen bent over and kissed Jane Fan's forehead, then he took her phone and put it into his pocket.
"Are you here? "Go to my appointed place!" His phone buzzed. It was a text message from an unfamiliar person, but the caller ID showed that it was a private number.
It seemed that someone had used a disposable phone card to contact Jane Fan.
"Where?" Her slender fingers quickly typed out a few lines of words.
"The roof of the third floor." The man answered quickly, as if he was observing the situation.
Ling Chen snorted coldly, and did not reply for a long time. Only until he saw Song Chengyou's car, did he open the car door, and slowly walked towards the three-storey building.
It was an old building. Looking at the cracked green bricks, Ling Chen knew that it was a dangerous building, and that it had been part of their plan since the beginning of the year. Who would have thought that during this period of time, this dilapidated house would escape its fate of being demolished, and somehow become a cultural relic that was protected.
Usually, when Ling Chen and the others arrived, there would be guards at the door, guarding the tickets and speaking some polite words.
But today, the place was deathly silent. Not only were there no sounds of humans, there were even sounds of animals fleeing everywhere. Ling Chen bent down, letting a cobra go around where he was standing, and quickly went upstairs. The wooden staircase creaked as dust flew into the air, blinding everyone's eyes.
The distance to the third floor was not long, but because the wooden staircase had long since been emptied by ants, Ling Chen had to be especially careful with every step he took, and also pay special attention. Ling Chen's gaze was like a camera as he scanned his surroundings, including every possible location to install a camera. As for the possible hiding places, he had also marked them one by one.
The third floor had finally reached its peak after a difficult journey. Ling Chen picked up his phone, and the buzzing voice sounded out again.
"Dig a hole and take out the things inside." Ling Chen frowned slightly. For such a shabby house to be dug up on the third floor, that was simply courting death.
"I'm not here to die!" Ling Chen coldly replied. As he scanned his surroundings, he suddenly discovered a strange place.
The roof on the third floor had a sharp angle, and in the sunlight it was pointing at a spot of ash on the ground. There were no flies or mosquitoes near the dregs. Instead, there were piles of dead animals. Flies stink, but do not stay in the right place. This suitable discovery made Ling Chen frown slightly.
The person on the other end replied with a text message, "Miss Jane, do you find it dirty?" "Well, you'll see your daughter's body in a similar place later."
Without a doubt, the third floor that that person was referring to was not the real roof, but the place where the old building's roof was pointing to under the rays of the sun.
"Song Chengyou, take good care of Jian Fan." Ling Chen sent a message and quickly headed downstairs.
The fragile plank had been broken into several pieces because of his speed, and when Ling Chen rushed out from the first floor, the building had already exploded with a loud bang, causing dust to rise into the air. The building collapsed, but the direction the roof pointed to remained unchanged.
Ling Chen quickly walked over to the place and looked around. He found a wooden board and took out the things covering it. After digging a few times, he could smell a familiar smell. Here, hidden by someone, and hidden in a rotting body.
Ling Chen's strength increased, and the speed of digging increased. In a moment, everything that was inside was revealed.
It was a huge Tibetan mastiff. Its stomach was protruding and it looked like it was pregnant.
Ling Chen picked up the wooden board and knocked on it, and heard something that did not belong to the mastiff itself. It was not a small Tibetan mastiff in its stomach, but a few kilograms of drugs.
"Take it out. Put it in the gatehouse of the old building. " His phone rang again.
"Where's my daughter?" Ling Chen's hands were heavy with the drug. He could not imagine what would happen if Jane Fan found out about it.
"Your daughter? "Hahaha." This time, the person did not send a text message, but directly called, "Director Ling is so funny. When you came to this place in place of Jian Fan, you knew that Jian Xiaofan was dead for sure. Why do you have to say such funny things? "
That person's voice was arrogant, but within his arrogance, Ling Chen could smell a thick jealousy.
His mind raced as he coldly harrumphed, "No one has ever dared to dole out drugs in my hands!"
With a single sentence, his authority was fully displayed. The other side was silent for a moment, and then her smile returned, but it was much gentler this time, much gentler, "Director Ling, didn't you already see your daughter's fate earlier? Now that we have reached another location, in a place similar to this, you will definitely be able to find your daughter! "
Ling Chen angrily threw the drug on the ground. That person dared to mess with him, he deserved death!
"Song Chengyou, protect Jian Fan well. Before Ye Han brings reinforcements, she is not allowed to appear in front of me. "
"Chen?" Song Chengye was filled with suspicion. Jian Fan had already awakened, so it was impossible for him to stop her.
"If I say yes, then yes! "You are not allowed to question my words!" After Ling Chen hung up the phone, Song Chengyou looked to the side. The sharp gaze of Jian Fan made him smile in embarrassment, "Xiaofan, you're awake? This place is very old, and you even came here for sightseeing. Your taste is really special. I have some information about this place. If you're interested, why don't we study it? "
"Where is Ling Chen?" Jian Fan touched his aching neck. Ling Chen's strength just now was enough to make her furious.
"Him? He … he went back. " Song Chengyou handed the document over and muttered to himself, "Xiaofan, this place has already become a cemetery. The government is neglected, and you don't see anything of value here. How about I take you to another place? That place is very similar to this place, but the scenery is much more beautiful. Shall we go sightseeing? "
"Where is Ling Chen?" No matter how much Song Chengyou said, it was unable to dispel the stubbornness in Jian Fan's heart.
Ling Chen took her cell phone. She was currently unable to contact the robbers, so she had no confidence in rescuing Niuniu.
"Chen has left!" Song Chengyou's face turned cold. This time, he didn't choose to deceive Jian Fan, "Xiaofan, no matter who it is, the result will be the same. Chen discovered three pounds of drugs at the place you and the robbers agreed upon. That robber is a fugitive, he will not let Niu Niu off so easily! "
"Drugs?" Jian Fan frowned. "Where?"
"In the belly of the dead mastiff!" As soon as Song Chengyou finished speaking, Jian Fan understood everything. The man had brought him here not to release her, but to involve her, the People's Police, in drug trafficking. They wanted to ruin her reputation, to destroy their Shallow Water police force from the inside.
Exchanging a little girl's life for their unending money, how good their plan was!
"Follow Ling Chen's car." Jian Fan's calm expression was very attractive. He was like a pearl shining with radiance, lightly calming people's hearts. Song Chengye nodded and sent Ye Han a short message. Then he drove after Ling Chen, and Jian Fan sat in the car silently.
Ling Chen drove to the appointed location, and thought he would see the robber or Niu Niu, he even thought he would see another unmarked cemetery. However, he didn't expect to see someone who shouldn't be here. Zhou Tong, why would she come out? What was she doing here?
"Director Ling!" "Help me!" Zhou Tong was tied to a stool with a dead knot tied to her chest. A ticking time bomb was tied to her abdomen. Ling Chen could clearly see that the bomb was pointed at 5: 59, less than six minutes away from the explosion.
"Why are you here?" Ling Chen frowned and took a step towards Zhou Tong.
"I, I don't know either. When I woke up, I was here. " Zhou Tong cried until her eyes were filled with tears. The current her was so close to death that fear made her unable to distinguish where she was, and even more so how she had arrived here.
"Is that so?" Ling Chen coldly snorted and looked Zhou Tong straight in the eye, "You're lying."
"Director Ling, I'm not. I really don't. " Zhou Tong's face paled. It was unknown whether she was frightened or in a hurry to refute.
"Is that so?" Ling Chen smiled, the nervousness had disappeared, "Zhou Tong, there's no need to act anymore. There's no rope behind you. You were glued to this chair with double-sided glue. The bomb in front of you is also fake. None of those three threads will kill you. "
Ling Chen's voice was cold and full of emotion, making Zhou Tong's eyes widen. Tears flowed from her eyes, and her voice became choked with sobs, "Director Ling, I really do not have one." If I lied to you, why should I act like this? Wouldn't it be better if I used other methods? Director Ling, I beg you, help me, I don't want to die! "
"Zhou Tong, stop pretending!" Ling Chen's voice turned cold, he walked a few steps forward and suddenly attacked Zhou Tong's face.
Zhou Tong bent her waist and dodged the attack, then her body left the stool. As for the so-called time bomb, it was still only 5: 59.
"Ling Chen, you forced me!" Since her disguise had been exposed, Zhou Tong was no longer pitiful towards Ling Chen. She held a small red button in her hand, which constantly flashed, causing Ling Chen to frown.
"Director Ling, don't you value Jian Fan a lot? and even that little beggar? " Zhou Tong's expression was twisted. Jealousy had completely burnt her mind. Seeing her like this, Ling Chen frowned slightly, "Zhou Tong, if you take this step, you won't be able to turn back." You and Jian Fan will no longer be friends, and Ye Han will no longer like you. "
"He won't like me anymore? Haha, Ling Chen, you should know that Ye Han never liked me. The person he likes has always been Xiaofan. " Zhou Tong's hands loosened. When she was facing Ling Chen, she knew that she could no longer pretend. In truth, why would she need to torture those who were good to her for the sake of those who had passed away?
Since her father had already left, she could just let him leave!
"Be careful!" As the voice suddenly sounded out, Zhou Tong felt as if his head had gone blank and his vision went black.
