The CEO's Wife and First Love

Chapter 501 Analysis of the Situation

"Hello! Hello!" Anthony shouted at the other end of the phone at the top of his lungs, but the only response he got was a busy tone.

The kidnapper hung up the phone mercilessly, as if Anthony's pleading fell on deaf ears.

Anthony's eyes widened, his face full of fear and despair, and the voice in his throat was already hoarse. However, no matter how he screamed, it was all in vain.

Anthony dropped his arms weakly, and the phone slipped from his hand and fell to the cold ground. His legs softened, and his body involuntarily fell backwards, and he fell heavily to the ground with a "bang".

The fall was so severe that he felt dizzy. But the physical pain was insignificant to him at this moment. The endless fear and anger in his heart were the real source of his torture.

"Ding, ding..." The crisp and rapid ringing of the phone once again broke the silence in the room, like a sharp dagger piercing the already extremely tense atmosphere. Anthony jumped up from the sofa, veins popping out on his forehead, bloodshot eyes, staring at the phone that kept flashing and making piercing sounds.

This was the nth time he had received such a call, but every time it made his heart sink into the bottomless abyss. Anthony grabbed the phone with trembling hands, and before he even had time to check the caller ID, he shouted into the receiver: "Who are you? What on earth do you want to do? Why did you kidnap my girlfriend? I have no grudge against you! Please, let her go..."

His voice was filled with tears, despair and helplessness. Tears welled up in his eyes, as if they were about to burst out in the next second.

Anthony took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions, and continued to beg: "No matter what you ask for, as long as my girlfriend's safety can be guaranteed, I can agree to it. Please don't hurt her, please..." He held the phone tightly, fearing that if he let go, even this last glimmer of hope would slip away.

"Anthony, it's me, Hongliang. What did you say just now, that Li Min was kidnapped?" Only then did Anthony hear that it was Hongliang on the phone! This shout was like lightning that cut through the night sky, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

When Anthony heard that the voice came from Hongliang, his face, which was already slightly sad, instantly collapsed. His eyes widened, and tears flowed out of his eyes uncontrollably and slid down his cheeks. He held the phone tightly with both hands, his body trembling slightly due to excessive excitement, and shouted in a crying voice: "Hongliang! It's bad, Li Min...she was kidnapped, and they want 2000 million to release her, what should I do?"

"Hurry up and agree to them. 2000 million is nothing. Human life is at stake. Saving people is important. I'll fly over right away." After saying this, Hong Liang immediately turned off his phone and ordered his assistant to buy a plane ticket.

"Assistant, buy a flight to Thailand immediately. Buy the fastest one. The sooner the better."

Anthony immediately called the kidnapper, but the phone was turned off, and his heart sank to the bottom. As time passed, Anthony's anxiety became more and more intense. He kept pacing around the room, as if this could alleviate his inner anxiety.

Various possible scenarios kept flashing through his mind, each of which made him feel terrified and helpless. He imagined the dangers that Li Min might encounter, and his heart was torn. Anthony tried to calm himself down and think about how to deal with it, but his thoughts were like a tangled mess, and he had no idea where to start.

He held the phone tightly, staring at the screen, hoping that the kidnapper would suddenly turn on the phone and bring him a glimmer of hope. However, time was passing, and hope was getting slimmer and slimmer. Anthony's heart was filled with despair, and he didn't know what else he could do.

It had been almost ten hours since Li Min was kidnapped. At this time, the police arrived. One of them, who looked like a leader, came to Anthony and said calmly, "Tell me about the specific circumstances at that time, including details such as the kidnapper's accent."

Anthony suppressed his grief and told everything he knew.

The police listened and took notes, their brows furrowed from time to time. After listening, the police captain looked up and said: "Based on the current situation, the kidnapper is likely to be a repeat offender, and a local. We will first check for suspicious persons who have entered the country recently, and also look for clues through the surrounding surveillance."

At this moment, Anthony's phone suddenly vibrated. He hurriedly picked it up and saw that it was a text message from the kidnapper: "Is the money ready? Don't play tricks, don't call the police, otherwise you won't be able to see your girlfriend, and the consequences will be at your own risk. You decide." Anthony quickly showed the text message to the police, who told him to reply to delay time and quickly tracked the source of the signal.

Anthony followed the police's instructions and replied to the text message, saying that he was collecting money. Soon after, the police got news and locked down the kidnappers' approximate hiding area.

At this time, Hongliang called and said, "Hello, Anthony, I have arrived in Thailand and just got off the plane. Please send me your location and I will find you."

"I'll pick you up at the airport." Anthony immediately asked Hongliang to wait for him at the airport.

Anthony started the engine, and the car immediately whooshed towards the airport.

At this time, Anthony's phone rang again. Anthony picked up the phone immediately and said, "Damn it, you called the police. Don't you want to see your girlfriend anymore? We have changed the place to pay the money. If I see you calling the police again, don't blame us for killing her." The kidnapper hung up the phone angrily.

Soon Anthony arrived at the airport and soon found Hongliang, his assistant and Li Min's assistant.

"Have the police arrived? Do they have a target now?" Hongliang immediately asked about Li Min's situation after getting in the car.

"The police are here, but the kidnappers called again just now. They knew I was looking for the police. They seemed to have moved to a new location. They threatened me that if we tell the police again, they would kill us. Anthony, I'm so scared that they really killed Li Min," Anthony said with a sad face.

Hongliang went over what Anthony said in his mind, thought about it, and said very seriously: "Based on the specific situation you just described, these vicious kidnappers seem to have known you for a long time. Not only that, they know your personal situation inside and out! This is really chilling! Especially when the police just arrived at the scene, these kidnappers were able to quickly obtain relevant information and take corresponding countermeasures. What's even more bizarre is that they even kept claiming that you are extremely wealthy and rich enough to rival a country! Could it be that there are traitors around you? Or do these kidnappers have intelligence gathering capabilities beyond ordinary people's imagination? In any case, the current situation has become extremely tense and complicated...
