Chapter 443? Retrieve a Small Life
Chapter 443
Ye Wanxi knew nothing about the incident between Chen Maochang and Bai Limei.
Li Suizhi felt a sense of crisis because of her meddling with Qi Yanjiao, and deliberately advanced the plan, but Ye Wanxi didn't realize it.
Of course, even if she knew about it, Ye Wanxi wouldn't take it to heart, instead she would place her hopes on Li Suizhi to make it quicker.
After all, busyness creates chaos, and Ning Anquan was worrying that he would not be able to catch his braids, so he gave them a chance by making a move.
Sure enough, within a few days Ye Wanxi received a call from Ning Anquan.
Because it was something that was agreed before, and Li Suizhi had already become wary, and this matter had to be resolved as soon as possible, so Ye Wanxi planned to ask Director Jiao for a day off.
In less than half a month since joining the group, Ye Wanxi asked for two leave of absence. I thought Director Jiao would have some complaints.
Don't want her to mention it, Director Jiao immediately agreed, and even asked her very kindly if she needs to grant her two more days off, so that she can have a good rest and not be too tired.
If Director Jiao hadn't been full of sincerity and flattery when he said this, Ye Wanxi would have thought he was deliberately speaking ironically to mock her.
"Director Jiao, you... really think so?"
"Of course I think so." Director Jiao smiled until the wrinkles on his face rose, "I've heard about that on the Internet. You will ask for leave casually, and I can trust you in this regard."
Ye Wanxi nodded, agreeing with his explanation: "Then I'll leave first, and I'll ask for a day off tomorrow, and I'll come back when I'm done, so I won't delay the progress of the crew."
Ye Wanxi was about to leave as soon as she said that, but was hurriedly stopped by Jiao Dao.
"Is there anything else?"
Director Jiao rubbed his hands together nervously, and said with a smirk, "No, it's nothing serious, I just want to thank you."
"Thank me?" Ye Wanxi pondered for a moment, and quickly figured out why Director Jiao thanked her, "Because...your son?"
Jiao Dao's eyes brightened slightly, he nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes."
Speaking of his son, Jiao Dao was both scared and emotional: "Didn't you tell him specifically when you sold me the peace amulet that day, telling him not to go out if he has nothing to do, and even if he does go out, don't go east."
"He didn't listen?"
Hearing her question, Director Jiao rubbed his nose in embarrassment: "This unlucky kid has a bad sense of direction, he can't tell east, west, north, south, and he doesn't know where east is."
Ye Wanxi: "..." She really never expected this reason!
It turned out that Director Jiao bought a safe talisman with Ye Wanxi that day, and immediately asked the child's mother to send it abroad by express delivery.
Afterwards, Director Jiao called his son and told him that these talismans must be carried with him, but also told him not to go out if he had nothing to do, and not to go east if he had to go out.
Director Jiao's son is quite obedient. He has been busy with his graduation thesis recently, looking up information all day long, staying at home and rarely going out.
But there are always exceptions to everything. Director Jiao’s son went out this time because his tutor asked him to go out to discuss the progress of the thesis.
And the place they met happened to be located in the east direction of Jiao Dao's son's rented house.
Director Jiao's son doesn't have a good sense of direction, especially in the directions of east, west, north, south, and is basically blind, so he didn't pay much attention to this point, and followed the instructor's instructions and went out in a daze.
When he was about to arrive at the appointed place, Jiao Dao's son passed by a bank and bumped into several armed robbers in sweaters and pullovers who were robbing the bank.
Due to his outstanding appearance, the poor guy who was just passing by had become a hostage taken care of by the robbers.
"There is a little time difference between foreign countries and China. It was still late at night when he had an accident, and my mother and I were already asleep. In the middle of the night, my wife had a nightmare. She dreamed of her son... and immediately called him after waking up. He didn't answer the phone call several times, and he was so worried."
"I was a little inexplicably panicked at that time, but I still comforted her. The child has been busy recently.
It is impossible to wait for our call by the mobile phone 24 hours a day. "
Having said that, Director Jiao has no idea.
As a result, the two comforted each other, lying on the bed without closing their eyes much all night.
Early the next morning, the sky was bright, and the couple, who had been insomnia all night, finally received a call from their son.
Speaking of this, Jiao Dao couldn't help being filled with righteous indignation: "My son was caught as a hostage for no reason. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has suffered bad luck for eight lifetimes. But there is no way for him to catch up like that. Yes. But what annoyed me the most was that the kidnappers tied up my son and asked them to back down and evacuate, but they didn’t pay any attention at all, and even fired a shot.”
Ye Wanxi's expression darkened when she heard this. If Director Jiao's words were true, then these people never thought about rescuing the hostages at all, they only wanted to kill the kidnappers and recover the loss.
This is too cold-blooded, too cruel, and completely treats other people's lives as nothing.
Director Jiao obviously thought the same way: "I suspect that they never thought about rescuing the hostages, or that they didn't want to save my son at all. It's because my son is not from their own country, and because the sky is high and the emperor is far away. You have to be a man with your tail between your legs, whether you live or die, how you live or die is just a word from others."
The more Director Jiao talked, the more angry he became. This matter really frightened his son and their parents.
You know, his son lived in a peaceful age. Even if he went abroad, he always heard that there was another gun battle in a certain area, but it was the first time he had encountered such a kidnapping incident with live ammunition.
Not to mention that he was still the protagonist and the person involved in the whole incident. After experiencing the hail of bullets, he took a long time to recover, but found that three of the five safety charms he carried with him had been burned.
Jiao Dao's son carried this peace talisman just to reassure his parents, but he probably didn't really believe in it in his heart.
But the spontaneous combustion of the talisman shattered the last bit of luck in his heart. When he mentioned it to his parents afterwards, Jiao Dao and his wife couldn't stop their fear.
Three of the five talisman papers were burned, which meant that he had blocked three fatal injuries for his son. That is to say, without this thing, his son would have been shot at least three times.
Based on the situation at the scene at the time, the three bombs would not only injure and kill his son, but also make him lose his ability to move quickly, making it impossible for him to escape.
At that time, his son will not only face these three bombs, he may even be beaten into a sieve!
Ye Wanxi could understand Director Jiao's complaints.
It is common for a guest to die in a different place and to bury his bones in a foreign land.
There are thousands of good things abroad, after all, it is not your own home, and the first person to be unlucky in times of danger is you, the cannon fodder.
