Not long after they left the bank, James received a phone call. "Mr. Lu, is the money ready? I can't wait any longer. I'm running out of patience."
The voice had been changed with a voice changer as well. But this time, the person called James with another phone number.
James tried his best to suppress his anger, "Yes."
"Ha-ha! Mr. Lu, you're really capable! I'm very satisfied!"
"I..." James wanted to finish his words in one breath, but he thought of Richard's words and had to hold back the worry in his heart. He tried to say slowly, "Where should I find you now?"
"Are you alone?"
"Of course!"
"If you dare to fool me, you know the consequences!"
"Who do you think I am? Isn't my wife being kidnapped by you?"
"Okay! I'll trust you this time! Now, take the money and go to the east gate of Lake Park. I'll contact you at that time. Remember, don't play any tricks!"
James threw his mobile heavily on the passenger seat, and then asked in a low voice, "Richard, is the conversation long enough? Have your subordinates found out the location?"
Money was not a big deal for him. All he wanted was to find Elizabeth as soon as possible. He was really afraid that she would suffer any torment.
Thinking like this, he felt more flustered.
"As for the conversation... try to stall for more time when he calls you again. Just drive at ease. If my subordinates find the location, they will definitely tell me at once."
"Okay." James gritted his teeth and stopped talking.
He pressed down hard on the gas pedal and took a shortcut to Lake Park.
When he arrived there, he called that person again, but he couldn't get through to him.
"F*ck!" James couldn't help cursing.
"Jimmy, don't worry. He will contact you soon."
"I know!" James gritted his teeth and answered, but he still felt mad in his heart.
Sure enough, in less than a minute, he received a phone call. But this time, he didn't know if they had noticed what he wanted to do, but he couldn't even see the phone number. The words "Unknown call" appeared on his screen.
But... he had to answer it.
"I'm here! Where are you?" James said anxiously as soon as he answered the phone.
"That's none of your business. Is your car parked on the roadside?"
Hearing this, James narrowed his eyes and looked out of the window. However, there was no one in the park at this time, and the street lights could not shine through the bushes. He had no idea where the that person was.
However, that person was able to see him clearly...
He was pissed off, but he had to restrain himself!
"That's right!"
"Now, start your car and drive around the road outside the park. I have to see if you are the only one in your car."
James gritted his teeth, "Didn't you say you only gave me three hours? How much time is left? Aren't you wasting our time?"
"Money is important, so is my life. Don't talk nonsense! Hurry up!"
Hearing the beeping sound on the phone, James felt that his head was going to explode. But he really had no choice but to obey the order.
His heart was in great pain, as if it had been torn apart. He didn't know where she was, and didn't know how she was. Richard still didn't tell him any news. He was really going crazy!
"Jimmy, hurry up and do what he said!" Richard reminded him.
"Mmm."
After that, James opened the car door and got off the car. He opened the door of the back seat and took out the two big bags as he was told.
The bags were very heavy, but James carried one in each hand and walked very fast.
When he came to the square, he threw the black bags on the ground, stood where he was and waited.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, he received a phone call, "Open all the bags now, and then pour out all the money. I want to see if you have cheated me!"
James clenched his fists, put his mobile phone into his trouser pocket, and then poured out all the cash.
The cash dropped on the ground with a crash.
Soon, there was a small cash hill on the empty ground. It looked very attractive, but James did not even look at it. He only looked up at the distant forest.
He didn't know where the person was and if he had a gun. Perhaps, the person would fire at him in the next second. However, he had to come here.
He was afraid, but what he feared was not that he would die. If he... really died in the next second, there would be no way for him to save Elizabeth personally, and he might not be able to see her again...
It was said that life was long, but life could also be short.
He looked at it for a while, but that person didn't do anything. He was slightly relieved and took out his phone again, waiting for him to call him again.
Sure enough, the person called him, "Now, put all the money back in your car. Then go to the southeast alone. Understand?"
