Chapter 247 Fool
Chapter 247 Fool
Hearing his father's words, Shen Qianhe turned back suddenly, "What do you mean?"
Xiao Chengzhou's eyes were deep: "The Xie family has more secrets than we thought. Look at the raised pattern on this ring. It may be the key to unlock something important."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Qianhe's phone rang again.
Xie Tianyi's voice was cold: "Aunt, did you get the ring? Don't make me wait too long~"
Shen Qianhe took a deep breath and clenched the ring in his hand: "I'll be there soon."
Xie Tianyi on the other end of the phone sounded very satisfied. "Okay, see you in an hour. Remember, you can only come alone. If you dare to bring someone else, I will let you watch with your own eyes as your beloved husband has one of his legs chopped off."
The phone hangs up.
Shen Qianhe felt his throat was extremely hoarse.
Xiao Chengzhou stepped forward, held his daughter in his arms, patted her back gently, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, trust Dad."
The address Xie Tianyi gave was an abandoned pharmaceutical factory in the suburbs.
The mottled exterior walls were covered with vines, the iron gate was rusty, and the broken glass windows creaked in the wind.
This pharmaceutical factory used to be owned by the Xie Group and was also the property of Xie Tianyi’s father, Xie Jiantong.
Since Xie Jiantong's death, this pharmaceutical factory was found to have many irregularities and substandard drugs, and was eventually forced to close down.
It seems that Xie Tianyi had planned long ago why he chose this place.
On the way, Xiao Chengzhou called Director He and briefly explained the situation.
His fingers tapped lightly on the steering wheel, his brows were furrowed and his eyes were sharp.
After listening to this, Director He said that he would immediately arrange a rescue team to provide support.
"Qianhe, did you remember everything Dad taught you just now?"
Xiao Chengzhou turned his head, his eyes full of concern.
Shen Qianhe nodded, his fingers unconsciously clenching the pistol in his jacket pocket.
The touch of the cold metal reassured her a little.
When he was in Gangcheng, Xiao Heng once taught Shen Qianhe how to shoot at his own shooting range.
Although I've only learned it a few times and my accuracy is average, I still know how to use a gun, so I can be prepared for any eventuality.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the gate of the pharmaceutical factory.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the shabby factory sign, casting a blood-red glow.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to be so punctual."
Xie Tianyi's voice came from the radio at the entrance of the pharmaceutical factory, with a hint of teasing.
Through the monitor, he saw Shen Qianhe get out of the driver's seat.
After making sure that no one was following him, he operated the remote control in his hand and opened the door of the pharmaceutical factory.
The iron door slowly opened, making a harsh creaking sound.
"Go to the fifth workshop." Xie Tianyi's voice came coldly.
In the fifth workshop, Shen Qianhe looked up at the factory's sign and discovered that the fifth workshop was located in the very center of the factory.
Shen Qianhe had difficulty walking and walked with a limp.
Although every step felt like walking on a knife edge, she still gritted her teeth and walked forward as fast as she could.
Fine beads of sweat oozed out of her forehead, but she didn't bother to wipe them off.
When she arrived at the door of the fifth workshop, she hesitated and did not go in. Instead, she looked up at the surveillance camera at the door and spoke loudly to Xie Tianyi on the other end of the camera.
"I want to confirm that Xie Jincheng and the old man are both in there."
After a while, Shen Qianhe's cell phone rang.
It's a video call.
Shen Qianhe quickly pressed the answer button.
"Look, they are both still alive. They are not dead."
Xie Tianyi placed his cell phone in front of Xie Jincheng's face and shook it in a vicious manner.
His face was as pale as paper, and there was still blood on his forehead.
The old man didn't have any external injuries. He just stared at Xie Tianyi in front of him and cursed, "Evil creature!"
Shen Qianhe's heart ached when she saw the weak man.
After taking a deep breath, she walked into the workshop door.
As soon as he entered the workshop, Shen Qianhe smelled a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine mixed with the smell of mold and rust, which was nauseating.
Under the dim light, dust floated in the air like countless tiny ghosts.
"Keep moving forward and don't play tricks." Xie Tianyi's voice came from the radio above his head.
Shen Qianhe clenched his fists, digging his nails deep into his palms, and forced himself to calm down.
She followed Xie Tianyi's instructions and walked towards the innermost part of the workshop step by step.
On the other side, Xiao Chengzhou avoided surveillance and used the ventilation ducts of the pharmaceutical factory to climb towards the floor where Xie Jincheng was.
Shen Qianhe finally reached the end of the workshop and saw a tightly closed iron door in front of him.
Xie Tianyi's voice sounded again: "Open the door and you will see them."
Shen Qianhe was delighted and walked forward immediately.
"Wait a moment!"
Xie Tianyi's voice interrupted her movements.
"Put the ring in the locker in the second row, second compartment at the door." Xie Tianyi's voice came coldly.
Shen Qianhe glanced at the camera and said firmly, "No, I have to see Xie Jincheng and the old man in person first, otherwise I won't give you anything."
"What a fucking mess!"
Xie Tianyi cursed at the surveillance camera, "I'll give you one minute. Go in and take a look and put the ring back immediately. Remember, don't play tricks on me! Otherwise, I'll let you die here together."
"Okay." Shen Qianhe nodded, his heart beating like a drum.
"One minute, the countdown begins."
When Shen Qianhe heard the timer start, he didn't care about the wound on his foot and ran forward immediately.
The iron door was very heavy, and Shen Qianhe had to use a lot of strength to open it.
The moment he opened the door, Shen Qianhe saw Xie Jincheng and Old Man Xie tied to chairs.
Xie Jincheng's face was as pale as paper, with blood still on his forehead. The old man's eyes were tightly closed, and his breathing was weak.
"Thank you Jincheng!"
Shen Qianhe screamed and rushed towards Xie Jincheng.
Her knees hit the ground heavily, but she ignored the pain and stroked Xie Jincheng's face with her trembling hands.
"Xie Jincheng, wake up, Xie Jincheng!"
Shen Qianhe couldn't stop crying, "Didn't you say you would come back to pick me up? You can't go back on your word!"
The old man tied behind his back heard this and couldn't help but sigh: "What a sin! What a sin!"
Xie Jincheng seemed to have heard Shen Qianhe's call and slowly opened his blood-stained eyes.
His eyes were a little dazed, but when he saw the person in front of him clearly, his pupils suddenly contracted: "Qianhe, why are you here?"
Shen Qianhe's tears flowed even more violently: "I'm here to save you. I'm here to take you home."
Xie Jincheng's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just smiled weakly: "Silly..."
