"Tangtang, you go out first. It's too choking in here!"

"Dad, turn off the heat first!"

Xia Chutang quickly turned off the stove.

He opened the window and pulled Zhuang Chengyu out of the kitchen.

Only when he came out did he see clearly that Zhuang Chengyu's face was stained with smoke.

One black and one oily, very funny.

"Where's my mother? Why are you cooking?" Xia Chutang couldn't help laughing, but also confused.

Zhuang Chengyu was very embarrassed: "Your mother went to night school. I wanted to come back to cook first, but I didn't expect it to be like this..."

"My mother went to night school?"

Xia Chutang asked in surprise: "Why do you remember to go to school?"

"Your mother said that seeing you and your grandma making progress, she also wants to improve herself."

"..."

Zhuang Chengyu checked the time: "I was still thinking of cooking for you to eat first, but there's no chance now."

"Dad, I'll make dinner. You don't have to worry about it."

Xia Chutang knew that Zhuang Chengyu couldn't cook.

Taking the initiative to take over the matter: "There is a vegetable market at the gate. I will come back after school to buy vegetables."

"Tangtang, it's up to you."

Zhuang Chengyu felt a little embarrassed, "I promised your mother to take care of the logistics, but in the end I still have to trouble you."

"It's okay! Why are you so polite as a family?"

Xia Chutang blinked and went into the kitchen to clean up the "mess".

Zhuang Chengyu washed his face and when he came out of the bathroom, there were already two dishes on the table.

He couldn't help but praise: "I worked on it for almost an hour and almost burned down the kitchen. You finished it in just ten minutes... Wow, that's awesome."

"Dad, take two bites first."

Xia Chutang made a handful of noodles, "It's too late to cook rice now, I'll make you a bowl of sour soup noodles."

Zhuang Chengyu still has to pick up Mrs. Zhao from get off work, and now he also has to pick up Li Hui. Speaking of which, he is the one who has the hardest time in the whole family.

"Didi didi" - Zhuang Chengyu had just taken a bite of food when the BP machine on the table rang.

"Tangtang, your pager has rung." Zhuang Chengyu shouted.

Xia Chutang came out with noodles, picked up the pager and looked at it, her eyebrows instantly knitted together.

"What's wrong? Is there something going on at the food factory?"

Zhuang Chengyu noticed the little girl's expression and asked with concern.

Xia Chutang handed over the pager in her hand.

The content of the pager was: "Save me! Xue Ruiliu."

"Dad. What does this mean?"

Xia Chutang was puzzled: "Why is she looking for me?"

Since you can call the police, why not just call the police?

Zhuang Chengyu took a bite of noodles and signaled the girl to calm down: "Wait a minute, since she wants to find you, there must be more to come."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the second message from the pager came again.

Pager content: "Please call back quickly: 534XX, Ms. Xue."

Zhuang Chengyu clicked on the speakerphone and said, "Take the answer. I will agree to any request she makes."

With Zhuang Chengyu sitting on the side, Xia Chutang immediately called back.

"Hey--"

"Tangtang, come and save me quickly. I am Xue Rui."

Xue Rui's panicked voice came from the phone.

Xia Chutang said calmly, "How can I save you? You should contact the police to save you, not me."

"Xia Chutang, I was sorry for you before. Please come and save me now. Otherwise I will die——"

"..."

Zhuang Chengyu nodded to the girl and asked her to agree to Xue Rui's request.

"Okay, then where are you? How can I save you?" Xia Chutang replied.

Xue Rui immediately said: "I'm at the main entrance of Xishan Cemetery. You must come alone. Don't call the police. Otherwise I will die."

"Are you safe now?" Xia Chutang read according to what Zhuang Chengyu wrote.

"Xia Chutang, you can't call the police anyway! You..."

Toot toot! Before he finished speaking, the phone was disconnected.

Zhuang Chengyu immediately contacted his colleagues in the unit to confirm the location of Xue Rui's landline phone.

About fifteen minutes later, there was news that the call just now was not near Xishan Cemetery at all.

But the IC phone booth on Linhe Street in the southern suburbs.

IC phones have just been promoted in the South, and there are not many installed in Xihai, so it is very easy to determine the location.

Zhuang Chengyu took his coat and warned, "Tangtang, stay at home."

"Dad, let me go with you."

Xia Chutang held the pager, "What if something changes?"

"Okay, then you have to stay by my side. Don't act impulsively."

"Dad, I won't rush to save Xue Rui."

The reason why Xia Chutang followed was because she was worried about Zhuang Chengyu, and she also wanted to catch the mastermind behind it as soon as possible.

Hearing what the girl said, Zhuang Chengyu reluctantly agreed to take Xia Chutang with him.

……

"Zhang Minmin, I have called you, can you let me go?" Xue Rui begged.

Xue Rui's body was only wrapped in a torn sheet.

In the West Sea in winter, the temperature at night is more than ten degrees below zero. You can imagine how cold it is in Xue Rui.

"What's the hurry? Wait."

Zhang Minmin held a telescope and looked at a streetlight dozens of meters away.

Soon, a middle-aged couple sneaked over and placed a bag next to the lamppost.

"Drive there!" Zhang Minmin patted the driver and directed him.

When the car arrived under the streetlight, Zhang Minmin directed his accomplices to quickly get the bag into the car.

"Stop! Where is our Xue Rui?" shouted the middle-aged couple who just put their bags away.

Xue Rui heard a familiar voice and trembled as she looked out the car window. Aren't those her parents?

How come they are here?

Before he could react, he heard the gangster on the side laugh and say: "Didn't you see it? This family is quite rich! Fifty thousand yuan! Just take it out right away?"

Fifty thousand yuan? When Xue Rui heard this, she immediately understood what happened.

She glared at Zhang Minmin angrily: "Are you blackmailing my parents? Are you still not a human being?

I helped you cheat Xia Chutang out of the house, and you tortured me to this point, and you even cheated my parents out of their money! ? "

"I'm here to help you test whether they love you or not."

Zhang Minmin put the bag at her feet, took out a pile of money and distributed it to several young people around her.

"Now it seems that you are still very happy."

"Don't look at me like that, you should thank me."

"Pooh!"

Xue Rui could no longer suppress the resentment in her heart and spat fiercely: "Zhang Minmin, how did a scum like you get into the No. 1 Middle School? You are really not as good as Xia Chutang's half finger. You deserve to be played. !”

"I deserve it? So don't you?"

Zhang Minmin pinched Xue Rui's mouth with one hand.

He picked up the unknown liquid next to him and poured it into her mouth, "I'm telling you, if you want to hate, then hate Xia Chutang! Without her, you and I wouldn't be here!"

"you--"

Xue Rui still wanted to curse, but her throat was sore from the liquid just now, "What did you give me to drink?"

"Something that makes you temporarily unable to die, but definitely not alive."

Zhang Minmin threw the bottle out of the car window, her face full of viciousness: "It turns out that killing someone is so easy. Ha."

Xia Chutang, I want to return my pain to you a hundred times a thousand times!

On the way to Linhe Street, Zhuang Chengyu received a call from his subordinates. He braked and pulled the car to the side of the road.

He shouted angrily: "Stupid! Why didn't they contact us?"
