Those tender and awkward years abducted 2

  When the kidnapper called, it was early in the morning of the second day. Tian Tian opened her eyes immediately after hearing the ringtone of her mobile phone. She stared at the unfamiliar number on the screen for three seconds, took a deep breath, and then pressed the answer button, "Hello."

  "Is Tian sweet?" came a rough male voice.

  "Yes."

  "Tian Heng is now in my hands. Tonight at 10 o'clock, you come alone with 500,000 yuan to the fifth willow tree on the right of Zuiya Pavilion in Dongfang Garden. One hand gives money and one hand gives people. If you report to the police, then wait for Tian Heng's corpse." The other party said viciously.

  "It's okay, but I want to see if Tian Cheng is safe now," Tian Tian said.

  "I can let you hear his voice," said Tian Tian, and then she heard the man's low growl. "You little brat, say a few words to your sister." Tian Cheng seemed to ignore the man, but then Tian Tian heard a slapping sound, the palm hitting flesh, "Are you going to speak or not?!" followed by Tian Cheng's muffled groan of pain.

  "Don't you dare touch my brother!" Tian Tian's eyes were bloodshot, she couldn't control herself and shouted loudly, "Otherwise, I'll die before letting you off, and none of you will get any benefits!"

  "Haha," the man suddenly laughed, "the little girl is quite fierce, but if you call the police, you know the consequences!" After finishing speaking, the man hung up the phone with a "click".

  Tian Tian was about to say something, but heard the phone "beep... beep..." hang up sound, she put the phone on the bed, her head aching, she was so tired. Five hundred thousand, if they only wanted money, it would be fine. What she feared was that they would take the money and still tear up the ticket, those were people who didn't care about their lives. She rummaged through her purse and pulled out the bank card, tightly grasping it in her palm. This was the living expenses for a whole year given by her mother. Without any hesitation, she let Old Zhang withdraw the five hundred thousand, just waiting for tonight's transaction.

  This night came particularly quickly, she casually picked up a few mouthfuls of rice, put on loose clothes, put the pistol in her pocket, and was about to go out with her bag.

  "Miss, you can't go alone." Old Zhang shouted behind Tian Tian as she walked to the door.

  "What can I do?" Tian Tian frowned tightly.

  "Sound the alarm!"

  "It's no use, Old Zhang, I'll rescue Xiao Cheng," Tian Tian said firmly, "wait for me at home."

  "Let me go for you." Old Zhang's eyes, which had experienced many vicissitudes of life, were already moist. He couldn't bear to see the teenage girl go and make a deal with the middle-aged man. She was so weak and small, just like a delicate flower that needed to be cherished and protected at her age. How could he bear to let her do it?

  "Lao Zhang, their goal is not just money. If you go, they won't let Xiao Cheng go." Tian Tian's tone revealed a hint of helplessness. "I will return safely, believe me."

  Old Zhang nodded heavily, and ten meters behind him in the darkness, Alan was secretly wiping away tears. She held back the choking sound in her throat, gazing tearfully at Tian Tian's small figure, her heart filled with sorrow that threatened to overwhelm her. She didn't dare approach, fearing that if Tian Tian saw her like this she would be upset, and she couldn't hold back Tian Tian's footsteps or give her any burdens.

  She knew that Tian Tian was strong, even more clever and brave than a middle-aged person. She had been independent since she was young, listening and understanding, she always believed in herself, so as long as she quietly watched her and gave her strength, it would be enough.

  Tian Tian turned around and walked forward without looking back, even if the front was a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, she would not refuse. The cold night wind blew against her pale face, tearing at her long hair that had been combed up. Her eyebrows were clear and bright, step by step steady and firm on the ground, the dim streetlights lit the way for her, occasionally a car whizzed past from beside her.

  The pale moon hung in the sky, and through the treetops, one could faintly see its twinkling light. The occasional fall of withered yellow leaves made a sound that was unusually clear on this night. Tian Xiang's heart was as still as water; she wasn't afraid, really not afraid. It was a redemption that came from life itself, and the tension, anger, and pain in her heart had reached a certain level, mixed together to become less unbearable.

  After arriving at the destination, she put her bag on the ground, with her hands in her pockets, vigilantly scanning around. At 10 o'clock in the evening, the park had no more strolling crowds, leaving only a few dim lamps that were still faintly lit.

  There is a distance of one hundred meters from here to the park exit, with two stone paths, but due to the beautiful design, they are curved. If you walk straight, you need to cross over a thin strip of wintergreen in the middle. Fortunately, the streetlight in the middle is broken, so even if you run behind the wintergreen, you won't be seen clearly. After this small pavilion, there is a large area of green space with no shelter, which is also unacceptable.

  If she were to save Xiao Cheng, she would have to let him cross this small green belt, lie down behind it, and cover for him herself. Just as she was thinking about this, she heard the sound of heavy footsteps coming from behind her, followed by a man's rough voice, "I didn't think you'd be so punctual, did you bring the money?"

  Tian Tian stepped on the backpack with her foot, "It's just inside here, where is Tian Cheng? Why are you alone?"

  "He's in the car, you bring the money over, and I'll let him go." As he said that, he stretched out his hand to take the money.

  "Don't move." Tian Tian swiftly pulled out a handgun from her pocket, aiming at the man's forehead. Her eyes were fixed on him as she said coldly, "You people are faithless and deserve to die."

  The man was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing, "Little doll, stop trying to fool me with your toy gun! When I was making my way in the world, you were still sucking milk from your mother's breast! Haha."

  "Don't believe me? Try it then." Tian Tian glanced at him with a cold smile.

  The man looked at the confident and determined girl in front of him, and his heart skipped a beat. He didn't want to use his own head to test whether the gun was real or fake, so he softened his tone and said, "Let's talk about everything later, first put down the gun." Then, he slowly reached into his pocket and pulled out a weapon...

  "Take your hands out of your pockets and put them on top of your head!" Tian Tian commanded.

  The man stopped his action, slowly crossed his hands over his head, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "Is this okay?"

  "Hand over Tian Cheng." Tian Tian said stiffly, "Hand him over!"

  The man thought the girl was no threat at all, and he foolishly thought of snatching the 500,000 yuan from her hand. He had no intention of letting Tian Qing go, because Lao Da had told him that she would not let Tian Qing go, but he did not say why. His partner was waiting for him on the road, and only he was dealing with Tian Tian.

  He thought he could handle this girl with ease, but he didn't expect her to have a gun and be so resolute. He believed that if he said Tian Cheng wasn't there, she would definitely shoot herself in the head. So, he opened his mouth and said, "If you want to get Tian Cheng back, you'll have to come with me to the car."

  Tian Tian raised an eyebrow, "You guys didn't say that at the beginning, be honest with me, don't play tricks, my bullets aren't blind!"

  The man smiled and said, "You've already hijacked me, what are you afraid of? If your brother wasn't on the bus, you could have blown my brains out. You're not going to let him go unless I do what you say."

  After a few seconds, Tian Tian said resolutely, "I'll go with you!" Then, she quickly picked up her school bag from the ground, slung it over her shoulder, and still held the gun at the man, "Let's go."

  In the darkness, a faint cold smile appeared at the corner of the man's mouth, and he turned around, slowly walking towards the park entrance.
