Chapter 368: 364. Finding Zhang Siyan (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)

I don't know how the few of them deliberated next, but in any case, they prepared ten million in cash, and the remaining one hundred and forty million was to be placed on bank cards.

By the time the discussion finally concluded, it was already past five o'clock, and the horizon had already begun to show a pale, fish-belly white.

Wu Tian grabbed a random mobile phone and walked for half an hour before dialing Zhang Ran's number.

"Hello, I've already prepared the money for you. When is the trade?" Zhang Ran said, his voice sounding somewhat hurried.

Wu Tian was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "We've changed our minds."

Zhang Ran couldn't help but clench his fists. "What do you mean?"

"Heh, don't be anxious. We want ten million in cash, and the rest should be put into fourteen separate anonymous bank cards. I believe you have a way to do that, right?" Wu Tian said with a chuckle.

Zhang Ran growled, "I've already withdrawn the money, and now you want me to deposit it back in?"

"What? Do you have an objection?" Wu Tian said with a sinister tone.

Zhang Ran took a deep breath and said, "Fine, but you have to give me some time. Also, I want to speak with my daughter."

"Wait until you've got everything ready before talking about that." Wu Tian was already very far from their location, and Siyan was not by his side at all, so he immediately refused.

Zhang Ran said, "How do I know what condition my daughter is in right now?"

"Heh, don't worry, you'll hear her voice when the time comes. Also, don't try to play any tricks on me." Wu Tian warned him again.

Zhang Ran was just about to say something when the call was cut off.

Immediately, Zhang Ran looked at the people beside him and asked, "How is it? Have you locked onto the location?"

"We've locked onto it. It's not very far from the location where we found their vehicle; it should be correct," the technician said immediately.

Zhang Ran stood up with a start and, taking He Yong with him, prepared to set off immediately.

Wu Tian and his group still underestimated the power of modern technology, or perhaps they thought Zhang Ran was just a lucky man who had received a demolition settlement.

With no real ability and no real connections, they simply didn't take Zhang Ran seriously at all.

But clearly, they had picked the wrong person this time, and they were about to pay a painful price for their actions.

Once Zhang Ran knew the location, he took Chen Gao and the others directly to the pinpointed spot.

Although Zhang Ran had said there was no need to set up a special task force, they hadn't been idle, and everything that needed to be done had been done.

On the way, Zhang Ran said to Chen Gao and the others, "Remember my words: the safety of my daughter and her friend is the number one priority!"

At this moment, Zhang Ran's expression was stern, making Chen Gao and his group feel a trace of pressure involuntarily.

Chen Gao nodded silently without speaking, simply beginning to wipe down his firearm.

At the same time, one of the members of his squad began communicating non-stop with the technical department in the city via a computer.

After driving for about three hours, Zhang Ran's group finally arrived at the general area; from here on, they would have to travel on foot.

Zhang Ran wanted to go along, but he was stopped by He Yong.

"Brother Zhang, you'd better not come along," He Yong said earnestly.

"That's right, Mr. Zhang. The path inside is difficult to walk; the slightest carelessness could cause quite a commotion," Chen Gao also added. The meaning was clear: bringing you along increases the risk of exposure and requires us to look after you.

Zhang Ran didn't insist; he knew one thing: it is most appropriate to leave matters to those who are skilled at them.

Zhang Ran then looked at He Yong and said, "Dayong, Siyan's safety is in your hands."

He Yong nodded and said, "Brother Zhang, don't you worry."

Chen Gao had originally wanted to advise He Yong not to go either; after all, He Yong was already over fifty, and him coming along was even worse than Zhang Ran.

But they soon looked at He Yong with newfound respect. Although He Yong's physical stamina had declined somewhat and he wasn't as good as these young men, he kept up with them without showing the slightest sign of effort.

Furthermore, many of his tactical movements were executed very precisely; one look and it was clear he had come from the military, and the kind that had seen the battlefield at that.

However, Chen Gao didn't ask any more questions; people like them never inquired about things outside of their mission.

After about half an hour, they had reached the designated location, but they couldn't see anyone, nor was there the slightest movement.

But their patience was very sufficient; they found a hiding spot and tucked themselves away. Immediately, one could only hear the sounds of birds in the forest and the rustling of the wind, as if no other people existed here at all.

Another hour and a half passed, and Zhang Ran finally received another call from Wu Tian.

"How is the preparation going?" Wu Tian said.

"It's in progress, it's almost done. Give me a time and place, and let's trade," Zhang Ran said, his voice sounding somewhat exhausted.

It seemed he had completely abandoned any other thoughts, his mind set solely on using the money to get his daughter back.

"I'll tell you the time next time. This time I was just checking on your situation," Wu Tian said with a laugh.

"Can I speak to my daughter now?" Zhang Ran said in a deep voice.

"Of course you can, but you only have time for three sentences." Wu Tian didn't want to push Zhang Ran too far.

He then switched his phone to speaker mode and signaled to Siyan that she could speak.

"Dad, I'm sorry," Siyan said in a low voice.

Upon hearing Siyan's voice, Zhang Ran suddenly felt his whole body relax. "Siyan, it's okay, don't be afraid, Dad is here," Zhang Ran comforted her in a low voice.

"Mm," Siyan replied.

Hearing Zhang Ran's steady voice, the worries that had been in Siyan's heart immediately dissipated.

Siyan wanted to say something more, but the next moment the phone was taken away.

"How about it? You heard her voice, right? Are you relieved now?" Wu Tian said.

Zhang Ran said, "Fine, you tell me the location and time."

"Wait for it." After saying this, Wu Tian hung up the phone and immediately hurried back with Siyan.

As for Zhang Ran, after the call was hung up, he immediately received a location message.

At the same time, Chen Gao's side also received this information. They checked the distance from their current position, which wasn't very far, and immediately revealed themselves to head over.

Ten minutes later, they found the place, but they didn't see Wu Tian or Siyan. However, they weren't anxious, and soon someone found traces and began to follow them forward.

Not long after, they saw the figures of the two. Perhaps because he was bringing Siyan along, Wu Tian's speed was not very fast.

After He Yong saw Siyan, he took a deep breath and then nodded toward Chen Gao and the others.

Chen Gao made a few tactical hand signals, and the others immediately dispersed.

Because they were now very close to Wu Tian and the others, Chen Gao and his people were moving very slowly.

It took three minutes for Chen Gao and his people to approach Wu Tian; this was also because the jungle here was dense, making it difficult to detect traces.
