Chapter 1225: Probing
As the distance to the scheduled tunnel became closer, Liu Zhan's heart became more and more nervous.
For him, success or failure depended on this one move.
Therefore, he kept praying secretly in his heart, "God, I, Liu Zhan, have never begged anyone in my life. Now I beg you to show your spirit and bless me so that everything goes smoothly today!"
"If it goes smoothly, after I finish off this mother and daughter in the back, God, you only need to ensure I have an hour of escape time!"
"One hour is enough for the Su family to arrange for me to escape alive!"
"By this time tomorrow, I will have already changed to a new identity and started a new life abroad!"
Thinking of this, Liu Zhan felt uncontrollable excitement deep in his heart.
At this very moment, Du Haiqing and Su Zhiyu were sitting in the back row of the Rolls-Royce, and both mother and daughter felt somewhat uneasy deep in their hearts.
Su Zhiyu's heart was highly nervous. Seeing the car driving into the mountains, she felt an inexplicable panic in her heart. It seemed that something was not quite right, but she couldn't think of what exactly was wrong.
Du Haiqing realized that Su Zhiyu beside her was somewhat uneasy. In order not to let her daughter be overly frightened, Du Haiqing kept holding her hand and didn't let go, occasionally giving her an encouraging look, letting her relax as much as possible.
Su Zhiyu, however, found it difficult to relax. She couldn't help but ask, "Where exactly are you taking us?"
Liu Zhan didn't turn his head and said coldly, "Don't worry about where we're going, just sit honestly in the car!"
Su Zhiyu continued to ask, "Then when will you let us go?"
Liu Zhan held the steering wheel with one hand and kept shaking the gun with the other, saying somewhat impatiently, "Whether I let you go, or whether I'm going to let you go, all depends on my mood. If you sit honestly and don't say so much nonsense, I might spare your life, but if you keep asking questions here, I'll kill you right now!"
Du Haiqing knew that Liu Zhan killed without blinking, so she immediately scolded Su Zhiyu, "Zhiyu! Shut your mouth and don't say anything more!"
Su Zhiyu had to obey and closed her mouth.
However, she felt more and more uneasy in her heart, and that feeling of something being wrong became stronger and stronger.
She carefully searched for all the details in her brain, hoping to find the clues she had ignored.
A few minutes later, a detail suddenly appeared in her mind.
She thought that when they were at the Treasure Pavilion, Liu Zhan's mobile phone received a call!
And, it seemed he also took out his mobile phone and sent a message to someone.
This detail made her suddenly nervous!
"A wanted criminal who has been fleeing all over the country for a long time, when being surrounded and captured alone, why would he still have the energy to call and send messages to others, and that call lasted for quite a long time?"
"Even if the person he called or sent messages to was his family, it's very hard to explain, because a normal person at such a time would definitely use the fastest way to tell their family they were busy, and then hang up the phone quickly. It's impossible to just start chatting."
"Because, since he has a mobile phone and can contact his family at any time, he can communicate anytime, anywhere. If there was no urgent matter, there was absolutely no need to distract his energy to communicate with his family at such a critical moment. That would easily distract his attention and affect his business, especially when it concerns his life safety."
"It's like a doctor, when focusing on performing surgery for a patient, it's absolutely impossible to carry a mobile phone and call or send messages to family members. That would cause very great interference to his work, and a slight carelessness would lead to serious consequences."
"If Liu Zhan had just started his criminal path and lacked experience, it could be understood, but he is an A-level wanted criminal who has been fleeing for a long time. His various anti-reconnaissance awareness should be very strong. Such a person shouldn't make such a low-level mistake."
"Therefore, whoever communicated with Liu Zhan, whether it was his family or not, what they communicated must be a very important matter!"
"Even, it is highly likely to be closely related to him rushing into the Treasure Pavilion today!"
Thinking of this, Su Zhiyu reached a conclusion in her heart: "Liu Zhan must have other people behind him! If this is the case, then him rushing into the Treasure Pavilion today was not an accidental event!"
"If this wasn't accidental, then him kidnapping my mother and me was likewise not accidental!"
"Could it be... Could it be that he was after my mother and me?!"
Su Zhiyu felt even more flustered in her heart!
"If Liu Zhan really rushed into the Treasure Pavilion by accident while being chased, then as long as my mother and I cooperate with Liu Zhan's escape, once Liu Zhan is safe, the probability of my mother and me surviving will be somewhat higher. After all, he has already been exposed to the police, and there is absolutely no need to kill my mother and me to anger the police and create social public opinion. That would only be more unfavorable for his subsequent escape..."
"However, if Liu Zhan was instructed by someone, and escaping the pursuit was fake, while kidnapping my mother and me was real, then we are truly in for a bad time..."
Thinking of this, Su Zhiyu suddenly said, "Brother Liu, if you let my mother and me go, I can give you fifty million as a reward. I mean what I say!"
"Fifty million?!" Liu Zhan was stunned.
The number fifty million is indeed not small, and it was enough to make him tempted.
Moreover, he didn't doubt Su Zhiyu's ability at all.
After all, she is from the Su family. Taking out five hundred million would probably be easy, let alone fifty million.
However, Su Zhiyu dared to give, but he didn't dare to take.
Because he clearly knew in his heart that the person who paid him to finish off this mother and daughter was actually the Su family.
"Moreover, this matter is even more complicated than I imagined before!"
"At first, someone found me and asked me to finish off that Du Haiqing. Today, someone transferred another twenty million to my family, asking me to finish off that Su Zhiyu as well while I'm at it..."
"Why is this Su family so vicious? Finishing off Du Haiqing is one thing, after all, she is an outsider, but why finish off this Su Zhiyu?"
"A family that doesn't even spare its own people can no longer be described as ruthless. If I honestly do things according to their arrangements, I can still exchange for a chance to go abroad and live a life. But if I play small tricks behind their backs, or even secretly take Su Zhiyu's money, they probably won't let me go..."
"What's more, my family is all in the country. If I really anger the Su family, they don't even spare their own family, so how could they spare my family?!"
Su Zhiyu looked through the rearview mirror and saw that Liu Zhan's expression was full of hesitation, realizing that the situation was even worse. So she hurriedly added, "Brother Liu, you must know my situation. Let alone fifty million, even sixty million or eighty million, as long as you nod, I can give it to you! As long as you nod, I can make a phone call and have someone transfer the money to your account immediately!"
As she spoke, Su Zhiyu hurriedly said, "I won't bargain with you for fifty million or eighty million. I'll round it up to one hundred million. As long as you nod, I'll have someone transfer one hundred million in cash to your account within ten minutes!"
Upon hearing that as long as he nodded, he could have one hundred million in his account, Liu Zhan suddenly had the feeling of a starving person looking at a table full of delicacies but not daring to open his mouth.
This made his mood suddenly become very irritable, and he subconsciously blurted out, "Don't talk nonsense with me! This is not about money at all!"
As soon as Liu Zhan said this, Su Zhiyu's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately looked at Du Haiqing beside her.
Du Haiqing had long realized that her daughter was deliberately probing Liu Zhan's words. Upon hearing Liu Zhan's answer, she also immediately realized the root of the problem.
Therefore, she also looked up at Su Zhiyu at this moment.
The mother and daughter looked at each other involuntarily, and both could see the deep shock in each other's eyes! ===== CHAPTER 1226 =====
