Dressed As a Wealthy and Rebellious Female Match
Chapter 37: I have good hearing (catch bugs)
Hearing what the red-haired scoundrel said, Zhou Ning immediately realized that she had just acted too impatiently.
She swallowed her saliva and pretended to be calm, "I am afraid that you will be nervous if you are excited and do something irreversible, and, as I told you before, I also have a son who is no more than two years older than you, so , I don't want to see you go astray."
The red-haired **** glanced at his mouth, "If we are afraid of going astray, why kidnap? Just say, can you trick Xia Ye over here, we don't have the patience to listen to you fooling around."
Originally, he was moved when he heard the woman say that he could give more money, but the woman's attitude was obviously wrong.
Zhou Ning has determined that these two people just want money, no more nonsense, and directly said: "I have a mobile phone in the pocket of my ski suit, you take it out, unlock it with my fingerprint, and you can transfer money, I really I can give you double the money."
The two little gangsters looked at each other and felt that she didn't look like she was lying, so they decided to believe her for a while.
One of the two went to get the mobile phone, and the other still pointed at her with an electric baton to prevent her from making any small movements.
After taking out the mobile phone, the two gangsters found that the woman cooperated abnormally, which made people feel very strange.
"I have money on my WeChat coin purse and Yu'e Bao, you can transfer it directly." Zhou Ning said.
She remembered that the sum of the money on Yu'ebao and WeChat was more than 300,000 yuan. Although she said that it was 200,000 yuan for these two gangsters, she didn't think the two would be so kind and gave her a little more.
After spending so much money, she was also in pain, but she didn't dare to take the risk, because if it really had something to do with Gu Yuan, she would have to suppress it.
And she didn't dare to ask these two gangsters too much, for fear of causing their suspicions, so she could only contact Gu Yuan after she escaped danger. If she was sure that the kidnapping of Xia Ye was really Gu Yuan's arrangement, she would think of a way to deal with the aftermath.
After listening to her words, the eyes of the two gangsters were straight. Although they felt that the woman was too cooperative and abnormal, when they saw the money on WeChat and Alipay, they lost all reason.
With this money, what else are they kidnapping Xia Ye, this money is enough for them to tie up several Xia Ye!
When the two gangsters transferred money, Zhou Ning still gave the password very cooperatively. Looking at the increased balance on the phone, the two gangsters felt like they were in a cloud dream.
Zhou Ning saw that the two had relaxed their guard and whispered, "Can you let me go now? I promise, I will never tell what happened today."
The two thugs recovered from the joy of reaping the huge sum of money.
The redhead smirked, "You promise we'll believe it, but we're idiots?"
The face-blind gangster was taken aback and asked, "Don't you... want to silence it?"
Zhou Ning's heart almost jumped out when she heard this. These two are young people, maybe they are not yet adults, and they do things regardless of the consequences. She is really worried that they will kill people.
The red-haired **** patted the back of his companion's head vigorously, "Don't our employer want us to take a **** photo of Xia Ye? Why do you think?"
"Threat Xia Ye so that she doesn't dare to go out and talk nonsense!"
"Right! It's the same now, but it's just a different object." The red-haired gangster smiled wryly.
Although they often fight for others and bully girls, they have never killed anyone, so they definitely can't do it.
Besides, there must be surveillance in the ski resort. If the woman is really killed, her husband will definitely adjust the surveillance, and he will soon be able to find out who brought the woman out of the ski resort, and they will definitely be investigated by then.
A fool does that!
Zhou Ning heard the words of the red-haired gangster and knew that they were going to take **** photos of themselves, and felt particularly humiliated, but compared to being silenced, taking photos was not unacceptable.
It's just that she didn't expect that in order to threaten her with these photos, the two gangsters forced her to make a voluntary expression. What was even more terrifying was that the gangsters' eyes became more and more presumptuous, and in their eyes, appeared. Desires that only mature men have.
Zhou Ning stopped with a crying voice: "Don't go too far, I'm giving you money just to ask for peace. If you really do something to me, my husband will know, he will definitely not let you go!"
The red-haired gangster regained some sanity, thinking that the man who had been with this woman before was indeed a successful person at first glance. The man found other girls alone to accompany you to the scenic spots, and the woman did not dare to say a word of rebuttal. It must have been raised by that man.
Judging from the hundreds of thousands this woman can afford casually, the man is probably a rich man.
He stopped his companion, "It's fine after taking the photos. With these photos, she doesn't dare to go out and talk nonsense. If we really do something, I'm afraid she will die."
The face-blind **** felt a little pity, but in the end he got up and tidied up his clothes and asked, "This woman is not bad at first sight. If she checks us later..."
"Don't be afraid, let's back up this video to the cloud and send it to two reliable brothers. If we don't have an accident, we will all be happy. If something happens, this woman will just wait for her reputation to fall!"
The red-haired **** looked like he was winning. After speaking, he shook his phone in front of Zhou Ning and said, "Sister, I have already sent the photo to my good buddy, if you are not afraid to go out later. If the photo leaks out, just yell or call the police!"
Zhou Ning:…
She only now understands that although these two little gangsters are young, they are not easy to fool. Now that she has the handle in their hands, she is completely passive.
Now Zhou Ning has only one thought in his heart: if this is really what Gu Yuan did, she will definitely clean up her son well!
The two gangsters thought about the way back, but they were kind to Zhou Ning. When they released her, they put on a hippie smile, "Sister is so beautiful, she can't tell her age at all, in the future, brother If you have no money, you will often find your sister to play with!"
Zhou Ning:…
She was really about to suffer a myocardial infarction from these two bastards.
The two thugs were not afraid of her going out to speak out because they had the photos in hand, and they also said that they would continue to take her skiing and send her back to the ski resort.
Zhou Ning felt that the two were extremely disgusting, but she didn't dare to anger the two thugs at such a time, and it was getting late and she didn't know the way, so she really could only slide back slowly with the two of them.
These two thugs are really bold, they have just done such a disgusting thing to her, but after returning to the ski resort, they still have a smile on their faces, "Sister, brother-in-law is waiting for you outside the ski resort, look. I'm worried about you!"
"My sister is so beautiful, of course my brother-in-law is worried, it's not safe after all!"
"Huh? There are two beautiful girls next to my brother-in-law, not necessarily waiting for my sister!"
Zhou Ning suppressed the nausea in her heart and slid in the direction of Xia Bingli, only to find out that Xia Ye and the others had arrived.
Zhou Ning adjusted the expression on her face and slowly slid over with a smile on her face. She looked at Xia Bingli and asked, "Isn't Ye Ye saying that he will come up tomorrow morning? Why did he come up tonight?"
Xia Bingli brought Xia Ye here to buy ski equipment, and after listening to Zhou Ning's words, he replied, "I plan to come to play tomorrow morning, but because the sunrise in the snow-capped mountains is not common, they want to try their luck one day earlier and see tomorrow morning. Can you see the sunrise?"
The snow scene and sunrise of the snow-capped mountains are both very famous landscapes. As long as you come in winter, you can see the snow scene, but the sunrise is not very common. When you are unlucky, you may not be able to see it on the top of the mountain for a week.
Zhou Ning nodded and said nothing more.
Feng Yao glanced at Zhou Ning, and then glanced at the two boys who had gangster temperament who had just come with her. Intuitively, the atmosphere between the three of them was very wrong.
At this time, Xia Ye and Xiao Lemon are choosing ski suits together.
"It's getting late today, we won't ski anymore, but tomorrow we'll build a snowman, have a snowball fight, Ye Ye, you and I will fight the yellow-haired monster together." Little Lemon looked enthusiastic.
Xia Ye rubbed her head, "Okay, and there are many scenic spots on this mountain, we can take a look at it slowly."
Xia Ye and Little Lemon are beautiful, and they caught the attention of the two gangsters as soon as they spoke.
When the red-haired gangster heard the word "leaf", his eyes flashed, and he walked away from his companion before he lowered his voice and said to his companion: "The Xia Ye that the man said before is the one called Ye Zi, she looks good. It's beautiful, and it feels inviolable."
The face-blind **** nodded, "Beauty, it's really beautiful, if she wants to be my girlfriend, I'll do anything for her. But Xia Ye really turned that guy off, so did he let us kidnap Xia Ye?"
"Most of the pursuit is unsuccessful, because of love and hate, I don't think such a beautiful girl can fall in love with that guy."
"Then are we kidnapping Xia Ye?"
"Tie up! You didn't realize that the woman would rather give us hundreds of thousands of dollars than call and trick Xia Ye into coming out? She will definitely remind Xia Ye to pay attention to safety. If we go to tie it up again, won't we throw ourselves into the net!"
"That's right! Then let's go down the mountain early, so as not to cause unforeseen branches."
After earning so much money, it is time to go down the mountain.
But the two of them didn't take a few steps, but a tall man blocked their way. When they looked up, they found that it was a man who was more handsome than a star, looking at them with a bad expression.
The red-haired gangster got used to being arrogant, and scolded directly: "You don't look at the road when you walk?"
The man frowned, his voice was nice, but full of chills, "My hearing is very good!"
The face-blind **** put on a beating expression, "It's none of our business whether you can hear well or not!"
The two gangsters probably also felt that the man was not a good stubble, and they were about to bypass him and leave, but the man suddenly shot, and the movement was so fast that it was almost impossible to see.
Xia Ye and Xiao Lemon were choosing good-looking ski suits when they heard pig-killing screams from dozens of meters away.
She turned around curiously, and saw that Feng Yao was wearing a down jacket with a straight posture. In front of him were two boys about the same age as her. The two boys were squatting on the ground, hugging their arms and screaming.
Although I didn't see Feng Yao doing it, I could see that the two boys looked at Feng Yao with fearful expressions on their faces, and they knew that the voices of the two were related to him.
The other people also heard the movement in the distance, and they all walked over. Xia Ye looked at Feng Yao and asked, "Uncle Lemon, what's going on?"
In her impression, although Feng Yao was occasionally venomous, his personality was always quite gentle, and he didn't look like he would fight with people!
Feng Yao showed a gentle smile and explained: "These two people just stole your dad's watch, and they came to steal my mobile phone, and I caught him on the spot."
Hearing Feng Yao casually began to frame people, the two thugs immediately shouted: "You fart, when did we steal?"
Although they did commit petty thefts before, they definitely didn't steal anything today. With more than 300,000 yuan given by that woman, it was enough for them to squander for several years, so why would they steal anything?
Feng Yao seemed to shake his head helplessly, and said, "Mr. Xia's watch and my mobile phone are all in your pockets. How can you deny it, Xiao Yeer should hurry up and call the police for me!"
After listening to his words, the two thugs put their hands into their pockets, trying to prove their innocence, but soon, their faces became ugly. They had no idea why there were suddenly more things in their pockets.
Feng Yao squatted down, took out his own mobile phone from one gangster's pocket, and took out a watch from another gangster's pocket.
When Xia Bingli saw it, it really belonged to him. He walked over and said with a smile, "Mr. Feng's eyes are still good, and he can even help the police catch the thief."
His watch is worth nearly 10 million yuan, but these two thieves have good eyes and know how to pick expensive thieves.
Feng Yao shook his head and explained, "It's not that I have good eyesight, but that I have good hearing."
His hearing is indeed better than ordinary people, and many sounds that are very subtle to others, as long as he deliberately listens, he can generally hear a rough idea.
The two gangsters really kept their voices low just now, but he found that the atmosphere between the two and Zhou Ning was wrong, and the rogue aura of the two was too strong, so he subconsciously kept up with the two and listened to them. to their discussion.
Zhou Ning saw that the two thugs were subdued by Feng Yao, and Feng Yao also found stolen goods from them, and she almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
He had just taken a large sum of money from himself, but he was still so greedy, he stole both his watch and his mobile phone, and was caught and captured.
Zhou Ning was particularly worried that the two thugs had explained everything. In that case, even if A Yuan hadn't found these thugs to tie Xia Ye, with the transfer records, he couldn't tell.
Now, she just hoped that the two **** would be tighter and not explain everything in one go.
Zhou Ning comforted herself that although these two thugs were rogues, they were not completely mindless. Compared with the crime of theft, the crime of kidnapping was much more serious. Even if these two thugs were underage, they should have reached the age of sixteen. They must know what to say and what not to say.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ning finally relaxed a little.
"Condensation."
Xia Bingli suddenly called her.
Zhou Ning turned around, saw Xia Bingli frowning, looked at her with concern, and asked, "Why do you get such a big bruise on your face?"
Zhou Ning was stunned for a moment, then recalled that he was unwilling to cooperate before, and a thug squeezed her face fiercely.
Not wanting to be seen by Xia Bingli, Zhou Ning replied with a weak smile: "I wanted to learn to ski earlier, so the coach left and practiced alone for a while, and accidentally fell."
Xia Bingli nodded, sighed, and said, "I really can't learn, just don't learn, we won't come skiing every day."
Zhou Ning:…
If he said this earlier, would he need to be kidnapped by two gangsters?
However, she didn't show it at all, and smiled: "I don't want to drag everyone down, and I don't want to embarrass you."
Hearing what she said, Xia Bingli couldn't say anything else.
After the two gangsters were subdued by Feng Yao, they were surrounded by a circle of people. Knowing that there was no hope of escaping, they simply gave up their struggle and waited for the police to return their innocence.
Anyway, there are surveillance cameras on this ski resort, as long as the surveillance cameras are dropped, you will know that this man framed them and framed them.
The tourist police on the snowy mountain came over quickly, and after a few simple questions, they knew that the two thieves were caught when they were stealing things, and they were considered stolen goods.
The police handcuffed the two and prepared to take them away. At the same time, they asked Feng Yao and Xia Bingli to follow them back to take notes, because both of them were the targets of theft.
Feng Yao smiled and suggested: "There are still a few underage children who need to be taken care of, I'll go back with you, and Mr. Xia will stay and take care of a few children."
Hearing Feng Yao say this, the police agreed after a little thought, because they already understood the case and felt that there was no suspense in the case, and it was enough to go to a person to make a transcript.
Before Feng Yao left, he asked Xia Bingli to help him take care of Little Lemon, and Xia Bingli nodded naturally.
Xia Ye witnessed the whole process and felt that it was a simple theft incident, so he didn't take it to heart, so he went to choose ski suits with Xiao Lemon again.
Yu Songbai complained softly on the side: "Aren't they all ski suits, and the styles are similar. I really don't know what to choose."
Xiao Lemon stood beside him, heard what he said, and immediately kicked him, but Yu Songbai quickly dispersed, and said, "It's this trick every time, are you naive?"
Xia Ye ignored the quarrel between the two and concentrated on choosing ski suits.
Zhou Ning stood next to Xia Bingli and sighed with a smile: "Why do I think that the relationship between the young master of the Yu family and Xiao Lemon is pretty good?"
Xia Bingli also couldn't understand the rhythm, and shook his head, "Young people's affairs can be handled by themselves, I'm too lazy to worry about it."
On the other side, Feng Yao followed in the footsteps of the tourist police, took out his mobile phone and sent two messages on the way.
The group went to the temporary interrogation room in the scenic spot, and the police began to take notes, but to their surprise, the two 17-year-olds refused to admit the theft, and kept asking them to adjust the surveillance.
Twenty minutes later, the monitoring was called, and it could be seen that the two had never approached the owner of the watch.
Seeing such a result, the two immediately shouted at Feng Yao: "He slandered us, we didn't steal anything!"
The police were also very helpless, because the surveillance could indeed prove that the two did not approach Xia Bingli, but the gentleman surnamed Feng had approached Xia Bingli and the two of them.
But from the video, it can't be seen that he deliberately framed the two of them!
When the policeman who was interrogating was wondering, he suddenly picked up an intercom call. After hanging up, his eyes changed and he looked at Feng Yao respectfully and said, "As Mr. Feng, I should Wouldn't have gone to great lengths to frame these two kids, but they did..."
Feng Yao shook his head, "I reported the case, not only for theft, but also for the attempted kidnapping of these two people."
Feng Yao's words left the police at a loss, but the two gangsters turned pale in an instant. They finally realized that the man had repeatedly emphasized what it meant by his good hearing.
Feng Yao's next sentence made the two of them feel like they were in an abyss.
"I just heard these two people say that they charged hundreds of thousands of yuan from others, and they also received kidnapping orders before. Check their mobile phones and they should get the results soon."
This time, the two did not rush to quibble, because they did receive the woman's money, and the chat history that the guy contacted them before had not had time to delete.
The police found that their expressions were wrong, and immediately searched the mobile phones of the two. The evidence was conclusive. After only a short interrogation, the two couldn't hold on and explained everything.
Feng Yao finally smiled and said, "Please comrades in the police to investigate the matter well, and I hope that the mastermind who instructed them to kidnap my friend will be released soon."
After listening to Feng Yao's words, the police immediately said: "Mr. Feng is very polite, this is our responsibility, and the case will come to light soon."
Feng Yao chuckled and shook his head, "It doesn't need to be too fast, we finally came out and had a good time, we can't let these two scumbags get in the mood."
Policemen:…
The superior just called and said that this gentleman with the surname Feng has a special status and must not offend him. As long as his request is legal, he will try his best to satisfy him.
I thought that Mr. Feng would make some excessive demands, but I didn't know that this person was so gentle and refined. The only request turned out to be that after the investigation of the case came out, the parties could be notified more slowly, so as not to spoil the mood of others coming out to play.
All right!
The rich man's world, he doesn't understand!
After Xia Ye and Xiao Lemon bought all the equipment, they went to the hotel on the top of the mountain. Feng Yao came back soon, looking as usual, it didn't look like he was following the police.
"Has the matter of the thief been dealt with?" Xia Ye couldn't help asking.
Feng Yao shook his head, "It's up to the police to deal with the thief. I'm an enthusiastic citizen, just helping catch the thief."
Hearing his answer, Xia Ye guessed that he came back after making a note, and didn't care too much. After hesitating for a while, he asked again, "Uncle Lemon, you're not home these days, is there anyone taking care of Mengmeng?"
Before going home from school every day, Mengmeng would come out to pick her up, and she would also feed Mengmeng, but now I haven't seen Mengmeng for several days, and she still misses her.
Feng Yao nodded with a smile, "I have a servant to take care of me, and I will have a regular video with Mengmeng at night."
Xia Ye's eyes lit up and asked, "Then can I see Mengmeng?"
"Of course you can, just come to my room with this kid when I have a video at night." Feng Yao said.
When Xia Bingli saw that her daughter cared so much about a dog, she couldn't help laughing, and asked, "Do you want to have a dog? You say what breed do you like, Dad can just let someone buy it back."
Xia Ye shook his head, "No, I'll be going to university in more than half a year. Many universities require me to live on campus. I have a dog and I can't take care of it. It's not good."
In her previous life, she raised Mengmeng in an orphanage. Although she was in school most of the time, she didn't have to worry about those younger siblings who took care of Mengmeng.
Now it can't be done. If she really has a dog, but can't find time to take care of it, she can only leave it to the servant of the Xia family. According to Zhou Ning's character, she can't help herself, and maybe she will be angry. On the dog, no one at home can really stop it.
Therefore, Xia Ye doesn't plan to keep a dog. She likes Mengmeng, and a large part of the reason is because this Mengmeng is very similar to the Mengmeng she raised in her previous life, and she has also been in a relationship recently.
That night, Xia Ye and Xiao Lemon went to Feng Yao's room together. When Feng Yao and the servant were connected to watch Meng Meng, she rubbed the camera to greet Meng Meng, and saw Meng Meng showing her teeth and claws in the camera. Wang Wang Wang's online sale is cute.
After ending the video call, Xia Ye and Xiao Lemon went back to their room.
The next day before dawn, a group of people got up early, but unfortunately they didn't see the sunrise. After dawn, they went to the ski resort.
Surprisingly, Yu Songbai has a slight altitude sickness. It stands to reason that although the altitude of the snow-capped mountains is high, the vegetation on the top of the mountain is lush, and most people will not suffer from altitude sickness!
Seeing that he was not in good spirits, Little Lemon laughed mercilessly and said, "Yellow-haired monster, it's a pity that you can't participate in such a fun thing as skiing. How do you feel?"
Yu Songbai:…
Before he recovered from Xiao Lemon's blow, Master patted him on the shoulder and said, "I found that you are quite useful."
Yu Songbai: "?"
"With you here, this brat's battles are almost all focused on you, and finally let me get back some of the dignity of being an elder."
Yu Songbai: "??"
Xia Ye couldn't bear to see it, so he comforted: "We'll ask someone to take a photo later, and I will develop a copy of the photo and give it to you, just pretend you have played it too."
Yu Songbai: "???"
It sounds even more uncomfortable, what should I do! !
If his high reaction is serious, then he can still ask to keep someone to take care of him, but it is not serious now, simple activities have little impact at all, so I can only stay outside and watch everyone play.
After putting on all the equipment, Xia Ye was not too nervous. Although neither she nor the original owner had skiing experience, they had experience in skating, so balance control should be passable, not to mention that Xia Bingli also hired a VIP coach for her. It is also an easier double board to start with, so she is not worried.
Just as Xia Ye expected, she learned very quickly, and in less than an hour, she already looked like she was.
When Xia Ye was studying, Xia Bingli kept wandering around her. Seeing that she had almost learned, he came over to be side by side with her, and said with a smile, "I knew you were so easy to lead, I should have taken you personally, so that I can have a A talented little apprentice."
Xia Ye smiled and said, "It's a pity that you don't have a little apprentice. You have another competitor. Let's compare?"
Xia Bingli: …
Although there won't be any suspense in this game, but seeing his daughter eager to try, he rarely got interested.
Xia Bingli tapped the snowball fight twice on the ground, looking happy, "Come on, don't cry if you lose."
On the other side, Feng Yao watched the backs of the father and daughter go farther and farther, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, letting people know that he was in a good mood at the moment.
Little Lemon rubbed snowballs beside him, and asked inexplicably, "Uncle, why didn't you let me find Ye Zi to play with? It's time to tell me the reason now!"
Feng Yao replied with a smile: "The father and daughter are in touch with each other, what are you going to mess with?"
Little Lemon never imagined that it was such a reason, but she thought there was a big secret that she had been waiting for her uncle to solve!
She puffed out her cheeks and complained: "Zi Zi and Ye Ye's father have been together for more than ten years. I have only known Ye Zi for two months. Obviously, Ye Zi and I need to connect more emotionally!"
Feng Yao smiled and said nothing.
In fact, he just wanted one more person to spoil Xiao Ye'er, so that she would no longer be envious of her peers who could act like a spoiled child in front of her parents.
He can give her a lot of things, as well as family affection, but his father's love can't give him.
For Xu Han and Zhou Ning, Xia Bingli is definitely not a good husband, and for Xia Zhi and Xia Ye, Xia Bingli is not a good father either.
But Xia Bingli is an emotional person, which is his weakness as well as his strength.
Feng Yao felt that fatherly love can also be cultivated slowly.
Seeing that he was silent, Little Lemon glared at him, slid out flexibly, and left a sentence: "You are so boring, I'm going to find Ye Ye to play with!"
Seeing Little Lemon slipping away, Zhou Ning, who had just observed this scene, took the initiative to approach Feng Yao and said with a smile, "Mr. Feng is quite concerned about Ye Zi. If I didn't know that you and her father were partners, I would have misunderstood!"
"Don't worry, Mrs. Xia, you didn't misunderstand." Feng Yao answered her in a good mood.
Zhou Ning was stunned, not understanding what he meant.
Feng Yao patiently explained her confusion, "I'm not afraid that you will hear some words, because I know that you will not be Mrs. Xia soon."
After speaking, seeing her still bewildered, Feng Yao added with a smile: "If everyone lived in a movie, Mrs. Xia would have received a lunch in a few shots. Very patient."
Zhou Ning's face changed dramatically when she thought of the two thugs. She was about to test a few sentences, but she saw Feng Yao had slipped away gracefully, and it seemed that she was going to chase after Xia Ye and the others.
