Chapter 45： 玉婷被绑架

楚天将王大发在北京的地址交给王大发三天后,王大发带着他的三名手下和12万元现金,踏上了前往首都的长途跋涉.当楚天通过电话通知胡彪时,胡彪出奇的高兴.多了几个楚天信任的熟练人才,再加上注资,增加了酒吧未来经营成功的几率.毕竟,酒吧是一个钱进来很快但也会带来很多麻烦的地方.如果没有几个可靠且有能力的人来控制事情,那将很难维持.

这些日子,楚天一直住在梅姐家,过着非常舒适的生活.他每天都会睡到自然醒来,然后洗漱,穿上梅姐提前洗过晾干的衣服,吃完饭后,他们会在大街小巷里闲逛.如果不是因为他们经常把对方当作兄弟姐妹来称呼,周围的人肯定会认为他们是一对甜蜜的年轻夫妇.

今天中午,梅姐煮了一锅鸡粥,香气极其浓郁.两人边吃边谈笑风生,突然,他们听到有人敲响了逍遥酒馆的门.梅姐有些惊讶,说:"我挂了个牌子,上面写着'停业三天'.为什么还有人敲门?兄弟,你继续吃.我下楼开门检查.

楚天点点头,咀嚼着一块鸡肉.看来梅姐在选择这家酒吧的位置上花了不少心思.这座两层楼的建筑是相连的,酒吧在一楼,起居区在二楼.这样,他们就可以在遇到任何麻烦时密切关注事情.难怪梅姐能经营逍遥酒馆这么多年.

梅姐出门没多久,楚天就听到了梅姐的声音,里面充满了惊讶和惊讶:"是你吗?

楚天很好奇.他端着粥来到了吧台大厅.令他惊讶的是,他看到林玉卿站在门口,看起来无比焦虑,但仍然用平静的语气对梅姐说:"梅梅,是我.这些年你受了太多苦.请稍后再向你道歉.楚天在吗?我急需找到他.

楚天吓了一跳.林玉晴慌张张,甚至都没来得及追上梅姐.一定有什么严重的事情发生.于是,他吞下了一口粥,道:"卿叔,我在这儿.怎么了?

林玉清歉意地看了梅姐一眼,然后快步上前走到楚天面前,道:"玉婷被绑架了.

楚天的心沉了下去.他赶紧拉过来凳子让林玉清坐下,安慰道:"青叔,你放轻松.到底发生了什么?请慢慢告诉我.

林玉清焦急地讲述了这件事.今天早上,林玉婷说她要去找楚天.林玉晴已经习惯了,只是笑了笑,让她走了.到了中午,林玉婷还是没回来吃午饭.起初,林玉晴还以为她是和楚天吃饭,并没有多想.后来,林玉婷突然打来了电话.她一喊"爸爸",林玉晴就听到电话被玉婷那边的一个男人抢走了.男人说玉婷在他手里,让林玉晴去通知楚天.他们会在晚上 7 点再次打电话,告诉楚天去指定的地方换玉亭.否则,他们会杀了她.

楚天心跳加速.想了想,他百分之百确定是牛坤一伙人.而且,牛坤和他的手下大概不知道,林玉婷是"铁面裁判"林玉晴的女儿.否则,他们绝对不敢碰她.如果林玉清或林玉婷出了什么事,不仅舆论会认为贪官在报复著名的"铁面法官"林玉清,导致公众的强烈抗议和潜在的网络侦查,而且中央政府也会受到舆论的压力,迫使地方当局破案.所以,没有人敢碰林玉晴.就连李健的爸爸李子峰,也不敢针对他.谁敢害林玉卿,就是求毁,因为民众和政府肯定会追究真凶到底.

思绪飞速运转,楚天对林玉清说道:"清叔,我知道是谁干的.是牛坤.你听说过他吗?

林玉晴皱着眉头,仔细思考了片刻."我听说过他.他是这个城市的一名建筑承包商,后来卷入了黑社会.虽然我听说他有一些轻微的犯罪记录,但我从来没有听说过他敢犯下重大罪行,更别说绑架我女儿了.如果真的是他,我会确保他在监狱里度过余生.林玉晴是一个普通人,有着和任何父母一样的爱和关心.光是想到玉婷被绑架,他就充满了仇恨.

Chu Tian then briefly described how he and Lin Yuting had gotten into a feud with Niu Kun and his gang. The more Lin Yuqing listened, the angrier he became. Eventually, he seemed to completely forget about Yuting's situation and slapped the table, shouting, "That Director Zhang is too despicable! Using his power to do evil and act as he pleases. How can I tolerate this? Chu Tian, write down the details. I'll deal with him another day." Lin Yuqing wasn't too bothered by the underworld, but when he heard about public officials breaking the law, he became extremely angry.

Chu Tian secretly praised Lin Yuqing. He really couldn't tolerate any injustice, just like the reincarnation of Judge Bao. The more upright he was, the more determined Chu Tian was to rescue Yuting safely. Otherwise, how could he face Lin Yuqing, who had only this one precious daughter?

In fact, Chu Tian had concealed a lot of details. If Lin Yuqing knew that Niu Kun had recruited many people from prison, given Lin Yuqing's uncompromising character, he would probably be even more indignant and might even immediately go after Li Zifeng, the police chief. That would make the situation worse and might cause Li Zifeng to take desperate actions. So, Chu Tian had to proceed step by step. First, he would deal with Niu Kun, rescue Yuting, and then let Lin Yuqing gradually investigate Niu Kun's issues, which would then lead to uncovering Li Zifeng. That was the more cautious approach.

Chu Tian organized his thoughts and said, "Uncle Qing, in my opinion, you should not call the police for now, nor should you show up. The reason for not calling the police is that there may be people in the police force who are in cahoots with Niu Kun. We don't want to alert them prematurely. The reason for not showing up is that we don't want to expose our hand. Once Niu Kun realizes that he has kidnapped your daughter, although he may regret it, considering your reputation for being uncompromising, he'll know that whether he releases Yuting or not, he'll end up in prison. Then he might become desperate and do something to Yuting."

Lin Yuqing thought for a while and knew that what Chu Tian said made a lot of sense. But if he didn't do anything, how could he save Yuting? So, he asked, "If I don't call the police or show up, how can I save Yuting?"

Chu Tian smiled, rubbed his nose, and said, "Uncle Qing, if you trust me, let me take full responsibility for this matter. Please rest assured. Niu Kun is after me, and Yuting is also my best friend. So, I have a way to bring Yuting back safely. I will definitely bring her back. Niu Kun won't be able to harm Yuting unless he steps over my dead body." A glint of determination shone in Chu Tian's eyes, intense and resolute.

Chu Tian glanced at Lin Yuqing and continued, "Also, if you really want to take some action, you can gather people you trust, but don't tell them the reason yet. Be ready to handle the aftermath. After I rescue Yuting, I'll find a proper time to notify you to take action. Niu Kun has a lot of evidence of corruption among powerful officials. I believe it will bring you some surprises."

Lin Yuqing looked at Chu Tian intently for a full minute, trying to determine from his eyes whether Chu Tian had the ability and means to rescue Lin Yuting. But he found nothing. Finally, he sighed and said, "Okay, Chu Tian, I trust you."

Sister Mei had already poured a glass of warm water and gently handed it to Lin Yuqing, saying, "Yuqing, don't worry. My brother will definitely be able to rescue Yuting."

Lin Yuqing gratefully took the glass. When his fingers touched Sister Mei's soft and delicate ones, his heart skipped a beat. A long - lost feeling seemed to return. He looked up into Sister Mei's eyes and found no resentment, only a hint of concern. He sighed. He really owed this woman too much, her youth, and all those years of longing.

At this moment, Chu Tian had put on a coat and picked up Lin Yuqing's phone. He smiled and said, "Uncle Qing, spend the afternoon here at the Carefree Tavern and catch up with my sister. I will definitely rescue Yuting tonight. Just wait for my call." Then he walked towards the door of the Carefree Tavern.

Lin Yuqing watched Chu Tian's receding figure and let out a long sigh. He seemed to be talking to himself as well as to Sister Mei, "Can I really trust him?"

Sister Mei smiled, with a look of pride and confidence. She said softly, "I trust him more than I trust myself."
