Chapter 1205 - 1205: Preparing 5 Million

"Hurry up and get the hell out, unless I notify you to serve dishes, don't come in!" Pei Dengke roared.

The waiter who entered the private room asking if they wanted food hurriedly retreated.

The one knocking wasn't Wang Tingwei, which left Master Pei disappointed but also a bit worried.

He glanced at the time again and couldn't help but ask, "Bro, there's only two minutes to eight, and Weiwei still hasn't come over. Could something have happened?"

Xiao Feng shook his head, didn't reply, but his mind kept replaying the waiter's actions as they came in earlier.

Clearly, he suspected that the waiter who knocked might have been a scout sent by Wang Tingwei.

The purpose was to figure out who was in the room and if there was any ambush.

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng felt fortunate he hadn't set up any traps earlier, otherwise, they might have been discovered.

This wasn't about how skilled you are; the timing was simply too tight.

A hastily set-up trap might work, but its concealment and other aspects would surely suffer.

It's like a soup that should be boiled for an hour, but you take it off after half an hour; the taste definitely wouldn't be great, even if a top chef were making it.

Time ticked away, and in the room, Xiao Feng and Pei Dengke both had their own thoughts, feeling that every second was as long as a century, eagerly awaiting the knock on the door.

However...

When it struck eight, instead of a knock, what came was a loud and full-bodied song.

"For year after year through hardships and winter and summer, wind, frost, rain, and snow over thousands of miles, everywhere is home..."

Pei Dengke couldn't help but be stunned, then ecstatic, "Weiwei must be here, calling me to go downstairs and meet her!"

Having said that, he impatiently answered the phone.

Xiao Feng couldn't feel optimistic, his intuition told him Wang Tingwei probably wouldn't come.

But why wouldn't she?

Xiao Feng couldn't figure this out quickly whether it was due to some flaw or something else.

Just as he was thinking, he heard Pei Dengke roar angrily, "Who the hell are you?"

"Hmm?" Xiao Feng's gaze sharpened.

From the tone, was the caller not Wang Tingwei?

And Pei Dengke cursed like that, was it because... the caller was a man?

Soon after, Pei Dengke's face turned extremely ugly.

He took a deep breath, gritted his molars and said, "Listen up, I've agreed to your terms, but if you dare to harm a hair on Weiwei, I swear I'll skin you alive!"

Having said that, he angrily hung up the phone.

"What's going on?" Xiao Feng asked.

Pei Dengke ran his hands through his hair in frustration, "Weiwei was kidnapped on her way here by a fake taxi driver.

Now the kidnappers are demanding five million in ransom, asking me to take the money to the bridge under the canal in the suburbs by midnight.

They warned that if I call the police, they'll kill her immediately.

Bro, please think of something, save Weiwei, I can't live without her!"

Xiao Feng frowned and said, "Don't panic, let me think."

Regarding Wang Tingwei being kidnapped, Xiao Feng could tell it was fake.

But why would they do this, just for a mere five million ransom?

Though five million isn't a small amount, with Wang Tingwei's excellent tea art, she could easily get that money through other methods.

So there's probably another motive.

However, before Xiao Feng could continue thinking, Pei Dengke couldn't help but urge, "Bro, there's only four hours to midnight.

We need to arrange for someone to withdraw money from the bank and go to the suburbs to deliver the ransom, hurry up or it'll be too late!"

"Let me ask you, are you sure Wang Tingwei was kidnapped?"

"How can it be fake?"

"Sometimes even what you see may not be reality, let alone just a phone call." Xiao Feng chuckled, "Did you hear Wang Tingwei's voice?"

"Uh... not really?"

"You didn't hear her voice, how can you be sure she was kidnapped?"

"But the call just now was from Weiwei's number."

Xiao Feng thought for a moment and said, "Now call back and request a video call. Since they have Wang Tingwei's phone and can call, they can use WeChat too."

"Okay." Pei Dengke took out his phone and quickly dialed back.

This time, he seemed more rational.

In fact, as a peripheral member of the Demon Suppression Action Team, Pei Dengke has never lacked the essential qualities, except when it involves Wang Tingwei, he loses control and overreacts.

Xiao Feng took this time to quickly analyze the intentions behind Wang Tingwei's actions...

Five minutes later, Pei Dengke's face turned grim, "Bro, confirmed without a doubt, Weiwei is kidnapped.

The kidnappers are very professional; during the video call, they left no flaws.

They even placed a segment of live news next to Weiwei to prove the video wasn't pre-recorded.

Bro, what do we do now?"

"What else can we do, get the money first. We can't just wait for them to kill her." Xiao Feng sighed.

"That's what I was thinking too." Pei Dengke nodded and immediately called to arrange for the money to be prepared.

At this point, eating was definitely out of the question.

The two went downstairs and left the hotel, overlooking a woman who was knocked unconscious in the bathroom...

...

In about half an hour, the five million in cash was prepared, and Pei Dengke, without stopping, took Xiao Feng to the suburbs.

Pei Dengke drove himself, speeding all the way, sometimes sharply turning, sometimes slamming the brakes, causing Xiao Feng in the passenger seat to constantly hold onto the handle to maintain balance.

After driving out of the city, Pei Dengke noticed Xiao Feng's expression and felt a bit guilty thinking about his reckless driving, "Sorry bro, I was driving a bit aggressively. Do you want to drive instead?"

Xiao Feng released the handle, put his hand down, and shook his head, "You keep driving, if I drive we might not get to the ransom spot before midnight."

"Bro, you're joking, it's only nine now, even if you drive slowly, we'll definitely get there." Pei Dengke said with a laugh.

Hearing this, Xiao Feng's thoughts started to stir.

Maybe... teach this young man with a hard head a lesson?

Just as this thought emerged, Xiao Feng extinguished it in his mind.

Firstly, "getting into trouble while driving" is a notable trait of his, posing a risk of revealing his identity.

Secondly, the goal this time is to find Wang Tingwei; if trouble arises and they miss the chance, it would be a huge loss.

In the driver's seat, Pei Dengke apologetically smiled, "Bro, you'll have to bear with me a little longer, as long as I can't see Weiwei, my heart remains unsettled.

I'll drive fast to rescue Weiwei quickly, when we return we can drive slowly as much as you want."

Xiao Feng gripped the handle again, not speaking, but through action, gave his response.
