Chapter 9 Chapter 9 The Road Is Difficult

However, Meng Yuting was only familiar with the road, not the road conditions. After the car got on the expressway, it started to get stuck in traffic not far away. At the beginning, it was just that the car was slowing down, but after ten minutes of slowing down, although it was still moving, it took five or six minutes to move forward a little.After waiting for another ten minutes, it almost stopped completely.Not only did the congestion not slow down, but it became more and more serious.The cars in front couldn't get away, and the cars behind kept coming up.Looking back and forth, left and right, I only felt that there was a dense darkness.

Wang Feng's condition was fine, but as time passed, Wang Kun said anxiously: "What's going on ahead, why is there a traffic jam, and it's not a holiday, so where are there so many cars?" Even if the road was wet and slippery just after the heavy rain, everyone slowed down, at most the cars were slowing down, but it wouldn't be too congested.Moreover, this road is not a traffic artery, and the traffic itself is not large. But no matter how urgent you are, there is nothing you can do.Tang Ze comforted Wang Kun, turned on the radio and tuned to the local traffic station.After waiting for a while, I heard the broadcast. On the Haihe section of Highway 302, due to the slippery road in rainy days, a large truck from south to north crashed into the fence. The goods have been scattered all over the place again, and now the traffic is completely blocked, please pass by vehicles to detour.

Tang Ze glanced at Wang Kun helplessly and said, "I have no choice but to wait." If you can turn around below, but when you get on the high speed, there is no turning back.Although Wang Kun was anxious but helpless, he sighed and comforted Wang Feng.Taki Wangfeng was a little tired, he just nodded and closed his eyes to fall asleep. The sky gradually darkened, and after the car drove snail-like for almost an hour, it arrived at an express exit.A traffic policeman is directing ahead, let those who are willing to wait stand aside, and those who are not willing to wait get off the expressway at the exit.

Meng Yuting walked back and forth several times at high speed, and she didn't know how to get out of the high speed.Tang Ze has been running outside a lot, and he knows that some small places have confusing signs and many forks. If you go to a desolate place and can't even find a person to ask for directions, it will be a terrible thing. Tang Ze hesitated for a moment, and Didi, a small bread beside him, honked its horn twice, and the person inside poked his head out with the window open and said, "Hey, can you go away? Don't block the way." Lin Moran was sitting next to the van, and when he saw that the car had a license plate from City H, he was overjoyed and said hurriedly, "Master, are you going to City H?"

"Yeah." The driver on the mini-bread was a middle-aged man, and he answered casually, "Hurry up, it's getting dark, and it will be midnight if you don't go to City H." "We are also going to City H to deliver a patient." Lin Moran said, "But I'm afraid I don't know the way..." Before Lin Moran finished speaking, the master waved his hand and said, "Follow me, I'm very familiar with this road, and I can't go wrong with my eyes closed." Although it was just a joke to close his eyes, but Lin Moran saw the delivery advertisement printed on the buns, so he probably ran often.Meng Yuting also said that this accent is not bad for a native of H City.Everyone can rest assured that someone is leading the way. Tang Ze stepped aside to let Little Bread turn the corner first, and then drove off the highway after him.A black car behind the Cayenne also got off the highway.

Although there are not many cars on the road, the road is full of potholes and the speed cannot be increased.Tang Ze drove for an hour, following the broken bread that hummed and hummed, and almost fell asleep.I secretly calculated in my heart, if I follow this speed, even if everything goes well, I'm afraid it will be twelve o'clock when I reach City H. Meng Yuting was sitting in the back seat, the little girl was in a good mood, chatting with Lin Moran from time to time.For a young man like Lin Moran, he had only dated one girlfriend, and it still ended without a problem.Originally, with his height and good looks, he should be the type that is very popular with girls, but due to family conditions, many girls will retreat just because they have no father or mother.What's more, with only a high school degree and average financial conditions, it's okay to talk about love, but it's really not a good candidate for marriage.However, when it comes to talking about marriage, Lin Moran has not yet reached the age of anxiety, and the matter of his father has been weighing heavily on his heart like a rock, so he is not in such a relaxed mood.

The road was very desolate, and I drove for another hour. It was about seven o'clock, and the houses on the side of the road gradually increased, and the street signs reminded me to enter a small town. At this moment, the van in front slowed down, its lights flickered, and the driver poked his head out of the window and shouted, "Stop and eat." Tang Ze also slid down the car window, looked back at Wang Kun behind him and said, "Boss Wang, do you want to eat? Or buy something to eat on the way." Wang Kun waved his hand and said, "Mr. Tang, you can just call me Old Wang, what kind of boss, I'm so ashamed."

Lin Moran smiled, and before Wang Kun could speak again, Meng Yuting's stomach growled. The little girl's face turned red all of a sudden, she scratched her hair and explained, "I ate lunch early." The little girl's family loves to keep fit, so she probably doesn't eat much at noon, so it's time for dinner at this point.Seeing Wang Feng on the way, Wang Kun's mood has calmed down a lot, and he is in good condition. He was embarrassed to let a carload of people accompany him hungry, so he said, "Let's find a place to eat. I'm really hungry by this time."

"Yes." Meng Yuting said seriously: "It doesn't matter if we don't eat, but he must eat, three meals a day must be regular." The "he" Meng Yuting said naturally refers to Wang Feng. Wang Feng's body is like a machine that has broken down. It needs very good maintenance before repairing. down. Now that Meng Yuting said so, everyone planned to find a place to eat.The little bun in front had already stopped, and Tang Ze also slowly followed and stopped the car. The driver of the van got out of the car, along with two people in the back seat, both of the same age and in the same dress.

Lin Moran and the others also got out of the car. The driver called himself Lao Li. He looked at the Cayenne, then looked around the town and said, "There are no big restaurants in this place. We often eat here. I don't know if you will eat it or not." habit?" Although Tang Ze was dressed casually, he looked like a young man in his Cayenne. Standing at the door of such a small restaurant, he felt out of place. The place where they parked was a restaurant called Four Seas Restaurant, with a grand name, but it was just a small restaurant on the second floor.The town is not like a city, the lights are brighter at night, and this is not the center of the town, most of the doors are closed.There are a few scattered shops, but this one looks the brightest.

Tang Ze looked at it and said with a smile: "Master, please lead the way, let's eat together." Although it's just a little effort, it's still troublesome. You can't have two tables in one restaurant. After entering the hotel, the four tables in the hall on the first floor were already full.The boss led him up to the second floor and into a quite spacious private room.There is only one box on the second floor, and the other half is separated. It is probably the place where the boss's family lives. Really in a hurry, Tang Ze took the menu, asked the boss, ordered a few dishes that did not take time, asked Meng Yuting, and made a light soup for Wang Feng alone.It's up to this point for a good person to do it to the end, and Tang Ze is willing to maintain his image. Because we had to drive, none of us drank, and we ate a meal very quickly.When it was almost finished, Meng Yuting got up and went out for a while, and came back after a while.The little girl's expression was a little bit perplexed, she hesitated for a while, and then leaned over to Lin Moran and whispered something. Lin Moran let out an "oh", stood up and said, "I'll go out for a while, and I'll be right back." Meng Yuting went to the bathroom just now and saw that the door was locked. When she asked, it turned out that the sewer was blocked.The boss pointed out the door, there is a public toilet in the alley 200 meters ahead.At this time, the sky was already very dark, and a little girl was a little scared because she was unfamiliar with the place. After thinking about it, she ran up and called Lin Moran, who she thought was the most talkative, to accompany her.Naturally, Lin Moran had nothing to say, he said hello and went out with him. There are only a few street lights on the main road here.It was dark in the alley, although there was some hazy moonlight, but because the ground was pitted and muddy, nothing could be seen clearly.Although the little girl was used to seeing casualties while working in the hospital, she still felt a little scary in the dark and strange place, so she approached Lin Moran unnaturally.At this time, it doesn't matter whether you like it or not. It is estimated that most men will be aroused with enthusiasm and consciously take on the task of protecting ladies, especially young girls. Unexpectedly, there are no lights here, and the two of them didn't ask the boss to borrow a flashlight when they came out. Fortunately, the mobile phone has a lighting function, and it is barely usable when it is turned on.After Meng Yuting went in, Lin Moran waited outside. This place was probably very close to the sea, and the wind blew a faint salty breath. The night in the town was very quiet, occasionally a dog barked, and suddenly there was the sound of a car engine on the street.A bad thought suddenly came to Lin Moran's heart. The sound of this car was very familiar.Although Lin Moran didn't know much about cars, he was very sensitive to sound because of his excellent hearing.When I heard the sound, I felt that it was very similar to the sound made by the broken van just now.The broken bread was wheezing all the way, and I don't know what went wrong inside. A sudden accident happened to the driver who appeared.Although Lin Moran is not a suspicious person, but too many things have happened in the past few days, and he started to mutter in his heart.Although he was a little anxious, he couldn't leave Meng Yuting behind. When the little girl came out, he hurried back. "What's wrong?" Meng Yuting saw Lin Moran hurrying, and immediately thought about the worst, "Is Wang Feng sick?" Lin Moran shook his head and didn't speak, but he walked faster.As soon as I reached the entrance of the alley, I saw a van turning in. There was no light in the alley, and the lights of the car were dim, and it was driving fast, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye.But this car seems to be quite similar to the one just now, or in other words, this kind of dilapidated minivan is quite similar.Meng Yuting also felt a little strange. She looked up, but said nothing, and followed Lin Moran back. The entrance of the hotel is still the same as it was just now, but the dilapidated minivan is no longer there, only Tang Ze's Cayenne and a black car are on the side of the road. Lin Moran ran up to the second floor in two or three steps, only to see Wang Feng sitting quietly in the box. Lin Moran's heart tightened, but he still suppressed his emotions and pretended to be relaxed: "Why are no one missing, Xiaofeng, where are they?" Wang Feng still didn't know what was wrong, and replied: "Mr. Tang went to pay the bill, and then called my father. I don't know what happened. The masters of the drivers said they were going to the opposite side to buy something, so they followed suit." Lin Moran's heart skipped a beat, and he turned to Meng Yuting and said, "You stay here with Wang Feng, I'll go and see why it's so slow, call me if you need anything." Meng Yuting's mobile phone was in her hand, Lin Moran didn't wait for her consent, took it over and pressed her number and handed it to the little girl, then turned and went out the door. This incident made Meng Yuting feel a little scared, but after all, she is very professional and knows that she can't say anything at this time. No matter what is going on outside, speaking out will only make Wang Feng lose control of his emotions.But Wang Feng must not be stimulated anymore. After Lin Moran confessed, he walked out. He felt that if there was a problem, it was because of the problems of the drivers just now.In the current society ruled by law, although it is not developed here, it is not in the wilderness, so the entire store is not a black shop. As soon as he walked down, he saw Tang Ze come out from the corner and walk up, Lin Moran felt relieved.But before he breathed out, he found that Wang Kun was not by his side, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Wang Kun?" Tang Ze was taken aback and said, "Isn't Wang Kun in the box?" "I said I was called away by you." Lin Moran said seriously. Tang Ze frowned and said, "Why should I call him to pay the bill?" He was taken aback for a while, as if he had come to his senses, "Where are the drivers?" The stairs are narrow enough that the two of them can barely stand side by side. Lin Moran ran down sideways and said, "I saw that van drive away just now. Wang Kun must have been taken away by those drivers." Tang Ze cursed secretly in his heart, it's not worth wading through this muddy water.Wang Kun's possessions are only a few million, so how could he lead to a kidnapping case? But since they were accompanying them on this trip, they couldn't just let it go. "There's a problem with the restaurant." Tang Ze said, he went down the stairs and didn't go out, but turned around and walked to the cashier. A middle-aged female boss at the cash register was settling accounts, Tang Ze went over and patted the table, "Where's the person?" The female boss was startled, raised her head and asked in doubt, "Who?" Tang Ze snorted coldly: "Just now, the credit card machine was broken again, and it was said that my money is fake money, and there is no change. Isn't it just to hold me back?" "I don't understand what you're talking about." The female boss looked up at Tang Ze and ignored him, "I have a problem with my money, why should I charge so much money?" Lin Moran felt that Tang Ze was very angry. If it wasn't for a lady, he would probably go up and grab her by the collar, so he quickly patted him on the shoulder to calm him down and said, "Boss, you are kidnapping, do you know that? criminally responsible." Now the female boss who was lowering her head finally got serious: "What did you say?" "I said you guys are kidnapping." Lin Moran said coldly, "Hold him for five minutes, and let your accomplice kidnap him during this time. No matter what the reason is, it's a crime. You'll go to jail, you know ?" Looking at the female boss's expression, Lin Moran knew that this matter had nothing to do with her, and probably just paid Tang Ze away on purpose.The store couldn't escape here, and the boss didn't leave here. If they were really in the same group, wouldn't they be waiting to be arrested. The female boss panicked and said, "I don't know. Someone gave me 1,000 yuan just now and asked me to hold you back for five minutes. Besides, they came in with you, and I didn't see anyone being forcibly Take it away." Although the female boss didn't know why these people held Tang Ze for five minutes, she didn't think too much about money.Seeing that they entered the door together and ate at the same table, they thought they were acquaintances. Tang Ze swallowed a swear word that came to his lips. He didn't have time to explain, so he threw a sentence to the boss to call the police, turned around and ran out. It's only been ten minutes since Lin Moran found out that the van was driving, and there is still hope to catch up. Lin Moran jumped into the car, pointing Tang Ze to drive forward, so the car he saw just now was right, it was the broken van of driver Li. Turning around the alley, what appeared in front of me was a rough path, the front was dark and endless, and it was hard to see where it led. Entering the country road, there are no lights on the road, so I don’t know where I’m going when I go down. Tang Ze paused for a moment, then turned to look at Lin Moran at the side.Although with his personality he would never hesitate, but there is still one person in the car now, so no one can be sure if it will be dangerous to continue chasing him like this.But he was overthinking, Lin Moran didn't hesitate at all, seeing that Tang Ze's car was slowing down, he turned to look at him, and asked worriedly: "What's wrong, the car broke down?" "It's okay." Tang Ze responded, stepped up the accelerator and rushed forward. Although the road in this place is very narrow, the benefits are obvious, that is, there is only a winding road, and there is no choice but to go forward.On both sides of the road are farmlands planted with crops. It is possible for people to get in, but it is absolutely impossible for a car to get in. So now they don't have to worry about chasing the wrong way, just increase the horsepower and drive forward.Tang Ze felt that they had great hope of chasing him back, after all, the Cayenne was much faster than the van.But if you wait for the police to arrive, it will be too late even if you know this is the direction the kidnappers are fleeing. Since these people are doing it here, they should have planned it long ago.And listening to their accents are locals, they should be very familiar with this area.They will not take a dead end, let alone a straight path. No matter how stupid the robber is, he will first choose a way for himself to escape, and first look at the surrounding environment clearly.Maybe even this proprietress, who has an eye for money, is optimistic about it in advance. After driving a little further, I saw woods on both sides of the road from a distance.Tang Ze's face was serious, and he reached out and touched under the seat for a long time.Lin Moran was about to ask him what he was looking for, but saw him pull out an iron rod from inside.Tang Yi handed the stick to Lin Moran, fumbled and pulled out another stick and put it in his hand.Lin Moran was stunned for a moment, but he didn't see that Tang Ze was a man with both civil and military skills. Tang Ze's eyes were still on the road ahead, and he looked sideways at Lin Moran, and explained: "You have to be prepared when you go out." Lin Moran weighed the iron rod in his hand and said with a smile: "You don't feel like a rich second generation who has been pampered since childhood." Tang Ze himself smiled.Because he likes sports, although he can't be said to be strong, he still has a good physique, and his skin is also dark. Holding a stick feels quite harmonious.But Lin Moran is the type of a gentle scholar, and he is thin. Even if he holds an iron rod in his hand, it has no deterrent effect, but looks like he is pretending to be fierce. "How could I have been pampered since I was a child, and our family has only grown up in the past ten years." Tang Ze said, "When I was born, the family conditions were still very poor. I still remember that at that time, I bought meat once a week and cut it into pieces. No matter how many pieces are counted, my parents don’t eat them, and the three of us share evenly, but there are still conflicts. No matter how good the knife skill is, the cut meat can be big or small, fat or thin.” Now it’s so good Situation, when Tang Ze talked about the past, it was not a burden, but an interesting memory. "It's very interesting to think about it now. We fought a lot because of this, but because I am the youngest, my parents protect me. Until now, my elder brother sometimes says that I am taller than both brothers because When I was young, I ate the most meat." Tang Ze said something interesting, but Lin Moran smiled but didn't speak.Since he was a child, he and his father depended on each other for life, and life was not tight, but he never had such a lively memory.Childhood without a mother is itself a kind of incompleteness, and no matter how hard the father works, it is impossible to make up for such a vacancy.Lin Moran sometimes thinks about it, in such an environment, it is really not easy for him to have such a healthy personality. Tang Ze didn't know how Lin Moran's family was, but thinking about how he didn't see his family when he went to the store that day, he stopped talking when he didn't answer the topic.Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and people who look cheerful will also have pain that others cannot touch.Tang Ze is not a gossip person, so naturally he won't get to the bottom of it. There was also a heavy rain here in the afternoon, and the road was covered with mud at this time.When Tang Ze's car drove into the woods, it was obvious that a wheel mark turned and disappeared into the woods. Although it is called a forest, the gaps between the trees are very large.Although the big car can't get in, the small car must be fine.Tang Ze's Cayenne was wide, he checked it with his eyes, and then made a turn and turned into the woods. At the end of the road, there seemed to be the sound of a car engine. Lin Moran's first reaction was the police, but after thinking about it again, the police probably weren't that fast, and they should just be passing cars.Although this road is not easy to walk, it is relatively wide in the village.Lin Moran's thought flashed away, Tang Ze had already driven a certain distance in the woods, the car marks on the ground were very obvious, but the road became narrower and narrower, and the trees gradually became denser. A few minutes later, Tang Ze stopped the car helplessly. The headlights of the car were shining brightly on the car marks in front of him, but he couldn't get past it. If he forced forward, he might get stuck between two trees.Although Lin Moran and Tang Yi wanted to rescue Wang Kun, the gold flower tin was still on his body.But it's nothing more than a car chasing a car. People chasing a car has no chance of winning, and it is also very dangerous.Neither of them was so impulsive yet.Glancing helplessly, the two were about to give up when Lin Moran suddenly let out a "shh". The countryside at night is not like a city, there is no feasting or hustle and bustle.It was even quieter in the woods, but amidst the chirping of insects and birds, there were some other sounds.I drove all the way in just now, and the car roared, so I couldn't hear it.Now that the car is turned off, the surroundings are quiet, but they can hear clearly.There were footsteps, and the sound of someone talking, and not just one person.Lin Moran frowned and listened, then opened the car door and said, "I heard Wang Kun's voice, they probably got out of the car too." Since I chose this road, I must have stepped on it beforehand. The van should be able to pass all the way without hindrance. The only explanation is that the car broke down.Tang Ze understood, the broken van was emitting black smoke all the way, and the road conditions were bad, so it's no wonder it wasn't bad. If the car breaks down and only people are left, then the power is balanced.Although there are three over there and two over here, there is still one Wang Kun over there.Wang Kun was kidnapped, not murdered. Lin Moran heard his voice just now, which is also part of his combat power. Otherwise, one person would have to be assigned to watch over him, and no matter what, the strength would be reduced. Tang Ze is a good athlete, with strong muscles in his arms and strong explosive power.He looked at Lin Moran with the iron bar, and wanted him to wait in the car, but he was worried that he would not be able to cope soon and needed help.I am bound to get it for Jin Huatian, Lin Moran is only on a business trip, so it is unreasonable for him to take such a risk. Lin Moran had already jumped out of the car, and was about to go forward, Tang Yi hesitated, patted Lin Moran's shoulder and said, "Or, you meet me in the car?" Hearing what Tang Ze said, Lin Moran was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and said in a low voice, "Let's go, Mr. Tang, if you get injured, remember to count it as a work-related injury." Although Lin Moran is not the kind of person who likes to act like a hero and rush to do what is right, he is never afraid of trouble.Hiding in the car at this time, is that still a man?Moreover, Lin Moran's fighting experience is richer than Tang Ze thought.Children who have no mother since childhood will inevitably encounter children who are not sensible, and fighting is commonplace. After closing the car door, the two of them each carried a stick and walked in the direction of the sound. The woods are very deep, which has both disadvantages and advantages. Although Lin Moran and the others can't see anything, neither can the kidnappers.And they are in the dark, and the kidnappers are in the light. Abandoning the car and chasing him on foot is a bit crazy. I really don't know if it's worth taking the risk for Wang Kun, who is not related to me. Fortunately, there were not many shrubs in the woods at this time. Although Lin Moran had a flashlight in his pocket, he didn't turn it on. He only followed the sound by the very faint moonlight and groped forward.Sure enough, not long after leaving, I saw the van parked in the middle of the woods. They didn't expect Lin Moran and the others to pursue them on foot, so the kidnappers relaxed their vigilance and pushed Wang Kun forward.Although it didn't make too much noise, it could still be heard from a distance in the silent forest. Lin Moran and Tang Ze walked into the battle lightly, and naturally walked faster than the kidnappers.After walking for a while, I saw the branches and leaves moving in front of me, and the kidnapper and Wang Kun could be seen in the faint light.The kidnappers were the three who had dinner with them just now. Wang Kun didn't know whether he was tied up or held hostage by a dagger, and he was pushed and stumbled forward. They now have two choices: one is to rush out and confront the kidnappers directly. Wang Kun doesn't seem to have been seriously injured, and the odds of winning three-on-three are very high; the other is to follow quietly. There is no problem with keeping up with the speed. It is estimated that the kidnappers did not expect that their car would break down. There may not be people outside the woods to meet them. We will wait until we get on the main road to see the situation. The two exchanged opinions in extremely low voices, and they both felt that it was better to follow up first and then look at the situation.Maybe, these kidnappers are just soldiers, and there is a real mastermind behind them.And they have already called the police, so they can find such obvious car marks, so the police should be able to, after all, they are professionals. Although Tang Ze has been looking for Jin Huatian for a long time, he hasn't lost his mind yet, and now he is not alone, it doesn't matter if he takes risks by himself, but he can't drag Lin Moran into taking risks together. While the two were holding their breath to follow, there was a sudden rush of footsteps from behind.
