Chapter 587: The Kidnapper Is a Fellow Professional?

Yu Dazhang also heard confidence in his voice.

Someone was directing him!

Compared to before, Qi Jiandong's mindset had completely changed.

Without suspicion or doubt, he had now decided that Yu Dazhang on the other end of the phone was the police.

It seemed the person beside him was someone who thought of everything—at least, that was how Qi Jiandong felt.

Otherwise he wouldn't have suddenly become so confident; that confidence came entirely from trusting that person.

I really don't buy it... when it comes to playing mind games, Yu Dazhang has never conceded to anyone.

After pausing only a second, he said angrily:

"Qi, even if you want to protect your brother, at least come up with a halfway decent excuse."

"Let me tell you, the Monk may run but the temple can't—give back the money or I'll go after your parents, and if they don't have it, I'll tear down your house."

At a time like this, explaining is just covering up.

So there's no need for any explanation at all—just go on the attack.

This is only because he's in the technical division, with someone beside him.

If he were here alone, Yu Dazhang would have started cursing long ago.

Right now he was imagining himself as someone who'd been scammed out of money, furious, dying to give the other guy a thorough tongue-lashing.

"You've been to my house?" Qi Jiandong asked.

Yu Dazhang noticed he said "my house."

And he said it very smoothly, which showed that Qi Jiandong still regarded his parents' place as his own home.

People are strange like that—even when they're unfilial, when facing outsiders they still instinctively want to protect their family.

"You two brothers' phone numbers were given to me by your old man himself."

Yu Dazhang noticed Qi Jiandong's attitude on the other end was softening, so he pressed the advantage:

"Look at the two of you, you're worse than animals—your old man can't even stand to hear your names, his teeth itch with hatred, he says even if he died he never wants to see you again."

Then he abruptly changed tack and said impatiently:

"Forget it, forget it, your family business doesn't interest me—hurry up and get in touch with your brother and have him pay me back."

Every word he said revolved around their family as much as possible, to draw the other party's attention to the maximum.

He couldn't say why, but Yu Dazhang had a feeling that Qi Jiandong on the other end seemed very interested in the situation at home.

Sure enough, when he spoke again, Qi Jiandong's tone had changed:

"Is he in good health?"

Yu Dazhang naturally knew who that "he" referred to.

But the question struck him as a bit ridiculous—is that something an unfilial son should be asking?

Away from home for nearly three years—if he truly cared about his parents' health, he'd have come home long ago; why ask an outsider now?

"Good my ass!"

Yu Dazhang could only keep up the act:

"With the conditions at your house, your old man would probably have to slaughter the dog in the yard just to get a taste of meat."

"You two brothers are really something—out there swindling and cheating people, and you don't even send any money home. Look at your old man's face, waxy yellow, he's just barely getting by."

After those words, the other end went silent.

Yu Dazhang held the phone up in front of his eyes for a look, confirmed the other end hadn't hung up, then brought it back to his ear.

At the same time he turned to look at Qian Cheng and the others.

He saw the officer at the computer hold out a hand toward him and wave it.

Five seconds left!

At that moment, Qi Jiandong's voice came through the phone again:

"I..."

Yu Dazhang gripped the phone tightly and listened carefully—as long as the other side finished one sentence, the time would be about right.

But he only heard the single word "I," and then immediately...

"Beep beep beep~" a burst of busy tone came through.

Yu Dazhang was so angry he nearly smashed the phone on the ground.

He'd hung up again at the most critical moment.

And this time it wasn't Qi Jiandong who hung up, because he had already started speaking.
