Chapter 593: This Hiding Place Is Kind of Interesting

Huh?

The moment Su Mi appeared, Yu Dazhang couldn't help but freeze.

In his view, when a woman ran into something like a kidnapping, she would surely be more fragile than a man — she might even cry her heart out.

But the Su Mi on the video screen looked very composed.

Not only was she not crying, there wasn't the slightest trace of fear on her face either.

Is this still the Su Mi I know… Yu Dazhang could hardly believe what he was seeing before his eyes.

He remembered how, back at the place Qu Tuotuo was renting, a single glare from him had almost made Su Mi cry.

In his memory, although she was a bit brash and careless, her courage was actually very small.

What was going on this time? Facing vicious, murderous kidnappers, even Bai Jincheng, a man, had dropped to his knees — yet Su Mi showed no fear at all.

And the way she looked now was, on the contrary, very much like Qu Tuotuo.

A stubbornness naturally showed between her brows, and her gaze had turned unusually cold and clear — completely without the coquettishly affected manner she usually wore.

What's going on?

Did the kidnappers scare her silly?

But looking at her expression, it didn't seem like she was dazed either.

Just as Yu Dazhang was finding it strange, Su Mi on the video screen suddenly shouted loudly:

"Mom, Dad, don't worry about me — don't give them a single cent. Let these animals waste their time. Even if I die, I'll drag them down to hell with me!"

Yu Dazhang: …

Has Su Mi gone mad?

That's way too fierce.

He had never understood before how someone with Qu Tuotuo's personality could become best friends with Su Mi.

The two of them were simply two completely different personalities.

Birds of a feather flock together; people of a kind group together.

Friends don't necessarily have to share the same personality, but at the very least they should have some point of similarity.

But normally, he really hadn't spotted where the two of them were alike.

Today, at this very moment, he finally understood.

It turned out Su Mi was, deep down, just like Qu Tuotuo — both were that kind of stubborn, unyielding girl.

You couldn't tell on ordinary days, but when a life-or-death matter came along, that fighting spirit would surge up.

No wonder the two of them became best friends… Watching Su Mi on the video screen, Yu Dazhang couldn't help but picture Qu Tuotuo in his mind.

Fierce beyond belief.

At the same time, Yu Dazhang also noticed there was blood on Su Mi — he didn't know whether it was hers or someone else's blood that had splashed onto her.

But her left cheek was swollen; she must have been hit by someone.

The video was very short; it ended right here.

"Officer, quick, I beg you, please save our Xiao Cheng!"

Bai Jincheng's mother suddenly grabbed Yu Dazhang's arm and cried out loudly:

"We're willing to hand over the ransom. All we ask is that the child comes back safe. We don't want the money — please help us get our child back!"

She clutched Yu Dazhang's arm and made as if to kneel down.

Seeing this, Yu Dazhang hurriedly held her back:

"Don't get worked up. I'll do everything in my power to save him."

Bai Jincheng's father also helped pull Madam Bai up and helped her to a sofa nearby.

That already counted as being strong.

If it had been a mother with a weaker constitution, seeing her son beaten bloody and kneeling to beg for mercy, she would probably have already fainted by now.

"Officer, come here, let me have a word with you."

Bai Jincheng's father pulled Yu Dazhang aside and said in a low voice:

"Let me tell you the truth — we don't care whether the kidnappers get caught, and we don't care about this ten million either."

"In fact, we've prepared an extra five million in cash for this, just in case the other side raises the price at the last minute."

His tone was somewhat urgent, and his eyes as he looked at Yu Dazhang carried a pleading look:

"This bit of money really doesn't mean much to our family. All we ask is that the child comes back safe."

"So, if it's at all possible, try to do the exchange first. The money can be handed over to them — we're not counting on getting it back either."

Rolling in money, huh… Yu Dazhang figured out what they meant.

The Bai family's meaning was: if you police can help us complete the deal, we'll be endlessly grateful.

As for whether the kidnappers get caught, whether the ransom can be recovered — they didn't care either way.

If ten million wasn't enough, add another five million on top — all they wanted was for Bai Jincheng to come back safe.

Have to say, people who run in the business world really know how to talk.

This also, in an invisible way, took some pressure off the police.
