Idiot in Love

Auntie Yu came back from her mission when she saw that her best friend was having difficulty in reading something. Ah Yu went over to Ah Zhang to see if she could help her with anything.

Ah Yu and Ah Zhang came from the countryside, and they were a childhood friend. Ah Yu always feel that there was something sinister in Ah Zhang recently, but she didn't think that it would involve kidnapping.

"What are you doing?" Ah, Yu went over to where Ah Zhang was sitting. Ah, Zhang put a gesture for Ah Yu to slow down her voice and she pointed to a piece of paper.

"Ah Yu, is this correct? Any spelling mistake?"

Ahwas Yu saw that her friend had written a few sentences to ask for ransom. All the sentences were written differently, but it carried one same meaning – give me 10 Million or I kill Yi Fei.

Both of the elders from the countryside were born in a low-income family and they managed to get the primary education like reading, writing and counting. Out of the two, Ah Yu is slightly better in reading and writing compared to Ah Zhang but Ah Zhang is brighter is her way too. She is creative, and she has a lot of ideas.

Ah Yu fixed the structure of the sentence on the piece of paper before returning it to Ah Zhang. "Why do you ask me to throw the phone in school?"

Ah Zhang looked at Ah Yu with a blank face. Recently, Ah Yu thought that her friend is getting restless each day, she tried asking, but Ah Zhang didn't elaborate much.

"The school is in the different direction from here. They'll track the phone, and we have enough time to transfer Miss Fei to another location. Also, I hate Ah Tang. That'll put him in the suspect list if he happens to find the phone there."

Ah Yu couldn't understand how Ah Zhang was planning the whole thing. Kidnapping is a job for the smart criminal; they are not smart or criminal. Since it was too late to back out, Ah Yu had to follow whatever instruction given by Ah Zhang.

"I hate that Ah Tang could work hard and give his best in a cruel world like this. Whenever I look at him, his eyes were looking at me like he's mocking me" Ah Zhang clenched her fist in anger.

The more Ah Yu looked at Ah Zhang, the more she felt that there was something off about her. Like her mind was unstable or something.

Ah Zhang went over to the public phone which was located seven kilometres from their house. They needed to make a call to NaNa to ask for ransom money.

In the countryside, when her life was still comfortable, Ah Zhang liked to watch the crime investigation movies and dramas. So far, everything she had done was based on her so-called knowledge from watching that kind of stuff on the television.

But the thing does not always happen like the way we wanted it to be. Kidnapping is not a simple thing that everyone can do. Ah Zhang was so lost in her sadness and frustration that she thought it would be easy to get money from kidnapping.

Ah Zhang brought Xiao You with her and left Ah Yu and Xiao Fang to guard their hostage. After they made the call, they'll transport Yi Fei to get the money somewhere else.

They thought that their plan was good enough but what they didn't know was that Wu Chen and his entourage were already on their way towards the outskirt of City L with Uncle Tang with them.

Ah Zhang got her hand of NaNa's phone number when she was sweeping in the staffroom. She felt that teachers are one of the most fearless people in the world. Not that their job is dangerous but even someone like Ah Zhang cannot help but be amazed at how easy it would be for teachers to give out their phone number even to a stranger.

Not that she cared about it, all that Ah Zhang cared would be whether she got the number she needed or not.

Ah Zhang dialled the number and passed the phone to Xiao You. Xiao You needed to read the sentence written by Ah Yu a few minutes ago.

"If you want Shen Yi Fei to come home safely, prepared 10 million by tomorrow. I'll call again for the dropout place. Don't call the police or be prepared to get a corpse."

The call was simple. If one speaks long enough in a phone call, they'll be able to track the location of the caller. This is one of the things that Ah Zhang learned from television as well.

After the call, Ah Zhang and Xiao You returned to their base. Since it was in the middle of the night, the quiet surrounding was normal, so Ah Zhang did not expect anything wrong from the quietness.

Both the mastermind and the accomplice entered the small house quietly so that they won't startle the other squatters near them.

"Freeze, don't move!"

Less than an hour ago:-

Uncle Tang continued patrolling the school area when he heard footsteps – a lot of them- coming from behind him.

Before he knew it, someone tackled him from behind, and he fell with a loud thud onto the ground. His head was pressed firmly to the ground; he winced in pain. Then another person fumbled his whole body as if looking for something. Uncle Tang felt that the phone he found previously was taken from his pocket.

"Where did you get this?" A cold voice spoke from behind him, but Uncle Tang couldn't turn around to see who the person is because his head was pressed to the ground.

"I saw the janitor threw that phone in the flower pots. I pick it up" Uncle Tang was having difficulty to talk.

"Tell me, where is Yi Fei!" The person shouted angrily.

Uncle Tang was clueless about everything, and he would be glad to explain how he found the phone if the person stopped pressing his head on the ground. "I don't know. I found it. I don't even know who the owner is until I received a call. You should ask Ah Yu. She was the one who threw it, not me."

Right after he said that the person who pressed his head let go of his head.Uncle Tang stood up slowly. He got rid of the soil in his face and looked at the group of people in front of him. Among them, Uncle Tang recognised one person – Wu Chen.

Uncle Tang had a teenage daughter who loves Wu Chen, so Uncle Tang knew about Wu Chen from her. "I'm sorry gentlemen, but I don't know why you are all coming to school at night. May I help you?"

Wu Chen did not speak but the man beside him explained the whole situation to Uncle Tang. When Uncle Tang was told that Yi Fei was kidnapped, Uncle Tang was surprised. He was even more shocked to learn that Miss Yi Fei is Wu Chen's fiancee.

These few days, Uncle Tang had seen two guys lingering outside the school's area a few times. He had been warning the teachers and the students in the school not to stay late alone. He didn't know what happen, but Uncle Tang figured out that Ah Yu must have something to do with it.

"I'll bring you to Ah Yu's house. We live in the same area. It would be inconvenient for all of you to come since the place where I live is considered a black area" Uncle Tang decided to warn the people first since all of them were wearing what it seemed like a very expensive clothes. They might be uncomfortable to even come to the area.

The people kept on looking at each other as if they found out something crucial about it. Even after Uncle Tang told them it would be uncomfortable, all of them were still insisting on going with him.

Uncle Tang rode with Wu Chen inside a car that looks exactly like Miss Yi Fei's car. From the car, he counted that there were total of nine people in the group. All of them wore black clothes and had a good physique; Uncle Tang assumed that they were bodyguard.

When they reached the outskirt of City L, the black area where people don't even bother to name, Uncle Tang pointed towards one of the small houses. Wu Chen gave a silent instruction by using only a body language to the people in black, and they went over to the house.

Wu Chen and Uncle Tang followed the people in black. Before they reached the house, they heard; "Who are you?" A female voice shouted in alarmed. "Xiao Fang! Xiao Fang" Then she proceeded by calling a name.

By the time Uncle Tang and Wu Chen entered the house, they saw a woman and a young man were handcuffed and were seated near the door. Liu Shi gestured to Wu Chen that Yi Fei was inside the small room.

Wu Chen walked pass the man but suddenly, the young man crouched down and grabbed a wine bottle. Then he processed to hit Wu Chen with the bottle. "This is for my accusing my brother as a rapist" the man shouted. But Uncle Tang pushed Wu Chen away. In turn, the bottle smashed on his head and he was bleeding.

The people in black restrained the young man and Wu Chen barked instruction to them. Liu Shi stayed over with Wu Chen while one of the people in black rushed to the hospital to send Uncle Tang.

When Wu Chen entered the room, he could see that Yi Fei was lying on the hard and dirty floor with both her hands and legs were tied. Her skin where the rope tied was bleeding. One of the people in black rushed over to cut the rope but Wu Chen stopped him.

He asked for the knife from the man and proceeded to cut the rope himself. His heart ached when he saw Yi Fei in such condition.

Wu Chen scooped Yi Fei in bridal style into the car and pressed the accelerator towards the direction of the private clinic.
