Fake Rich Daughter Is A Scientist From The Future Novel - Chapter 77
Chapter 77: Police
“It must be an enemy of this woman. Think about it. We were about to be caught by the police, but there was a sudden traffic accident that prevented the police from pursuing us.”
“This is why we had a chance to escape to this urban village. The people in the urban village are from different backgrounds together and there are many people here. Many new things happen every day, but there someone happened to talk about the Ding Family’s daughter, who had been raised by a wealthy man for more than ten years. They were clearly trying to attract our interest…”
A smart subordinate finally understood. “Boss, you mean that we were forced to the urban village from the start so that we could lay our hands on the Ding Family?”
Another underling said doubtfully, “I don’t think so. This family looks very ordinary. Why would they have such a huge feud with someone else and for them to want to eliminate them in such a roundabout way?”
“The Ding Family’s daughter was switched with the daughter from the wealthy family. They had been raising each other’s daughter for more than ten years. This isn’t an ordinary matter, to begin with. Perhaps the wealthy family felt that this matter was embarrassing and wanted to get rid of this family?”
The leader of the kidnappers said in a low voice, “No matter what, those people are making use of us. It’s fine if they just want us to kill people, but those black-hearted fellows actually don’t want to pay. How can we let them get away with such wishful thinking?!”
An underling said hesitantly, “Boss, do you mean to release this woman? Are we still going to get the 500 million yuan ransom?”
Ding Rong had been listening to their conversation, and when she heard this, she could not help but feel a trace of hope. She looked at the kidnapper’s leader with teary eyes, hoping that he would spare her daughter’s life.
When a beauty like her made such an expression, some of the kidnappers who did not have enough self-control could not help but feel ripples in their hearts. However, the kidnappers’ leader continued to wear a cold-blooded expression.
His reply left Ding Rong in complete despair. “Although we were led into doing this business, that 500 million yuan is real. Who would complain about having too much money? As for this woman and her daughter, we can’t spare them either. They’ve already seen how we look. If we keep them alive, wouldn’t that be bringing trouble onto ourselves?”
Ding Rong’s expression turned dim. The pleading gaze in her eyes turned to become bone-deep hatred as if she wanted to firmly remember the appearances of these kidnappers. Even if she died and became a ghost, she would not forgive these criminals who wanted to harm her daughter!
The kidnappers continued to wait for Huo Tian’s arrival, but they weren’t feeling as relaxed as before. From time to time, they would have to check the time anxiously.
Then they heard a shout from the streets outside. “Auntie Ding, are you at home?”
The kidnappers looked at each other and tiptoed to the door.
The kidnappers’ leader grabbed Ding Rong’s hair and pulled her up, threatening her in a soft voice, “Ask who is the one knocking on the door. If it’s someone unrelated, deal with them and get them to leave. If they attract other people’s attention, I’ll kill everyone on this street!”
Regardless of who the person shouting outside was, Ding Rong treated them as her life-saving buoy. She wanted to ask for help from the person outside the door, but after hearing what the kidnapper said, she calmed down instantly.
Two thoughts were fighting non-stop in her mind. On one side were her neighbors, whom she had interacted with for many years. They would help her when she was in trouble but would also sometimes gossip behind her back. On the other side was her biological daughter, who had just been home for a few months. Like other girls her age, Tiantian was innocent, happy, and kind-hearted. Moreover, everyone said that Tiantian would be a genius who could change the era…
Ding Rong knew that if she wanted to find a chance of survival for her daughter, this was the most suitable opportunity. As long as she reminded the person outside the door to leave quickly and stop Tiantian, who was driving over, her daughter might be able to keep her life.
However, was she really going to use the lives of all the neighbors in exchange for her daughter’s chance of survival?
Instantly, Ding Rong’s face was covered in tears. The kidnapper had ripped off the tape on her mouth and placed a knife on her neck. If Ding Rong showed any signs of wanting to call for help or warn the person outside, the knife would slit her throat.
Ding Rong tried her best to maintain her composure. “Who is it?”
It was a young man’s voice from outside the door. “Auntie Ding, it’s Little Wang. My mother came here previously to have her measurements taken and asked you to make a qipao for her. Have you started making it? How many more customers are there before her?”
Ding Rong’s heart was pounding. She could tell that this voice belonged to a police officer who was from the police station not far away.
It was true that Little Wang stayed nearby, but his mother had already divorced his father and had gotten married overseas. Therefore, it was impossible for her to come to her tailor shop to have her measurements taken and to order a dress.
It was obvious that the police had discovered the situation and sent Little Wang over to probe.
Ding Rong suppressed her excitement and said in a calm tone, “Business has been too busy these past two days. There are still six or seven customers waiting for me to alter their clothes. Your mother will need to wait a little while for her qipao.”
