Chapter 224
Shen Shixi knew that he had failed.Not only failed to complete the revenge on the Huo family, but also lost the last bit of comfort.Now, he really has nothing.
*********
The gangster who asked for the ransom asked Huo Bai to come forward in person, put all the cash into many black garbage bags, and throw it in a small ditch in a remote mountainous area.Of course they are not allowed to report to the police.
Xiang Siqi, who originally planned to do so, hesitated when he heard the young master's condition.He proposed to replace Huo Bai by himself, but the other party refused.
"I'll go, I'll go." Huo Bai was eager to save his son, and he wasn't afraid at all. He must have taken a fancy to his thin appearance and lack of aggression.
"You also said that they just want money, so they shouldn't ambush me with a gun."
Xiang Siqi couldn't hold him back, so he had no choice but to put a bulletproof vest on him.
The car stopped near the small ditch, and the atmosphere became extremely tense. "be careful."
Xiang Siqi began to regret, this plan of exchanging money directly, if he made a wrong judgment, it would put the young master in a dangerous situation.Then he will hate himself for the rest of his life.
Huo Bai smiled at him, told him not to worry, opened the car door, and walked towards the agreed place with the heavy bag.There were several bodyguards in the car, but the condition discussed was that he showed up alone, so he could only protect the outside.
Huo Bai walked to the small ditch, looked around the empty surroundings, and then threw the money down.He didn't dare to stay, so he quickly walked back to the original place, picked up other bags again, and after repeated emptying them several times, he returned to the car.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the part of throwing money passed without any risk.
According to the gangster's request, the car started, turned around a few times and returned to the original place, only to find that the pile of black bags had disappeared.
"Hopefully they walk the talk..."
... A few hours later, the police received a report that a child was found by the villagers in the mountainous area, which fit the characteristics of the kidnapped Huo family baby.
Huo Bai was so anxious that he urged the driver to speed up the car along the way.When he arrived at that place, he saw Xiao Ke surrounded by people in police uniform, and Huo Bai burst into tears.
"baby!"
He rushed over in a hurry and almost tripped halfway, but the baby didn't respond to him as usual, and jumped into his arms laughing and jumping like usual.
Huo Bai's heart was about to break, he didn't know what happened to him.Huo Yike's little face was dirty, with a dull expression. Huo Bai looked left and right at him, except for some scratches and bruises on his face and hands, everything else was fine, and there was no external injury.
He hugged Xiao Ke, and there was a cramping pain in his chest.If there is any injury in the heart, it is much more serious than what can be seen with the naked eye.
"It's Dad who didn't protect you well, it's Dad's fault..."
Huo Yike finally called "Dad".Huo Bai hugged the baby tightly, and couldn't help crying again behind him.Not wanting Xiao Ke to see it, he wiped away his tears and asked.
"Comrade police, can you give the baby a comprehensive physical examination?"
"Don't worry, this is what should be done in the process, otherwise the suspect cannot be sentenced."
"it is good……"
Hearing the other party's answer, Huo Bai's heart trembled, Xiao Ke heard their conversation, and suddenly opened his mouth. "I'm fine, that uncle protected me. The scratched skin was made when those vicious people threw them from the car."
"You said, Shen Shixi protected you?"
Huo Bai didn't believe it at all.He glanced at Xiang Siqi who was standing next to him, the two of them were making eye contact, so he didn't notice... the way Xiao Ke looked at his "uncle".
*********
After ensuring the safety of the hostages, the police continued to search nearby.Huo Yi underwent a comprehensive inspection to confirm that he had not been subjected to violence or physical abuse during the time he was kidnapped.
Huo Bai's hanging heart finally fell.Xiao Ke is fine, it is more important than anything else.At the same time, he was also confused, did Shen Shixi really protect him as Xiao Ke said?
A few hours later, Shen Shixi was also found.He was tied up and thrown in the depths of an abandoned farm, which was preliminarily inferred to be the place where the hostages were hiding.This place is very hidden, if it weren't for the rut marks left by the criminals when they left, it might take another two days to search for it.
Hearing that Shen Shixi wanted to see him, Huo Bai went to the detention center where he was being held.
The kidnapping of a rich family's child must have been sensational news when it spread. Fortunately, the Huo family has always handled it in a low-key manner, and with the help of Shu Wang's father, they managed to suppress it in the end.Even so, the harm caused to the parties cannot be erased.
"Is Xiao Ke okay?"
Huo Bai didn't say a word. The baby didn't talk at home these days. The doctor said it was a stress trauma disorder, and it would take a period of treatment to recover slowly.Originally, he was going to join the filming group, but now he asked Brother Siqi to give up the leading role to someone else, so he could concentrate on being with the baby.Xiang Siqi didn't want to, the film was tailor-made for him, the two had some disputes over this, and the filming of the crew was put on hold for the time being.
"Those people didn't bully him later, did they?"
After getting an affirmative answer, Shen Shixi seemed relieved, Huo Bai became more and more confused, and came today to ask this question.
"Xiao Ke said, you saved him."
"I can do whatever I want, that's my freedom." Shen Shixi was very calm, with some arrogance in his tone.He was forced to shave his head, and he must have had a hard time in prison. After he was sentenced, he would be transferred to prison.
"Even if you save him, I won't forgive you."
"Forgive? You'd better hate me for the rest of your life." Shen Shixi laughed so hard that his whole body was shaking until someone came to stop him.
"Why do you do these things? In the end, you hurt others and yourself. If you hadn't framed me in the first place and brought the Du family in, causing the two families to fight, Du Sheng and the others might be fine now."
"The winning side can say whatever they want."
Shen Shixi stopped smiling, and stared at him tightly.Huo Bai didn't avoid it either, and met his piercing gaze.Finally, Shen Shixi looked away.
"I read a book when I was a child." He inexplicably talked about the past. "In the book, there was a race that understood the mysteries of the universe and became the god of the entire universe. But they found that other races kept popping up. One day they will overtake them, so they began to pull and pull, trying to destroy all the new races...in the end they failed."
Shen Shixi was immersed in the past, her expression softened.Although Huo Bai hated him, he felt pity for him at this moment.He was probably spoiled and never really grew up.
"You are not a god, we are all ordinary human beings. You are too selfish, not everyone has to revolve around you."
(Don't go away, there will be a climax in the next chapter! Continue to ask for a monthly ticket, okay?) (After the main text is finished, Shen Shixi's story will be written as a side story to explain the character's heart more clearly)
