The King's Enchanting-Chapter 1579 - 1591: Rescue (5)

Yu Zexiao shook off her hand without a second thought and couldn’t even be bothered to argue with her. With a shove from him, Cheng Tingting fell into the snow, but it didn’t hurt. She thought for a moment and decided she still needed to follow to see, just in case something happened!

-----------------

Meanwhile, back at the base camp, when Yu Zexiao and the others arrived at the foot of the Alps, the kidnappers called again. This time, they demanded that the money be placed at a specified location.

Cheng Wanli, nominally Jian Anning’s brother, took the call naturally. Once the kidnappers finished speaking, the money Yu Zexiao prepared had also arrived. Cheng Wanli naturally nodded in agreement with the kidnappers, agreeing to give them the money.

After hanging up the phone, everything seemed to proceed smoothly. However, Nie Anni, standing to the side, perhaps because an onlooker sees more of the game, genuinely felt something was a bit off.

How to put it, it was too calm. It was as if everything was as it should be. Although she wasn’t very concerned with Jian Anning’s private matters, she knew Anning lived at her stepfather’s house. Cheng Tingting could be considered her half-sister, while Cheng Wanli had no blood ties to her at all.

Even if their relationship was bland, wouldn’t a familiar person being kidnapped worry him in the slightest? Even for herself, upon hearing that Jian Anning was kidnapped, she felt anxious, let alone when they were in such a relationship!

Even though he seemed anxious while on the phone, after hanging up, he sat in the corner and surprisingly had the leisure to take out his phone and play!

Nie Anni felt increasingly uneasy about the situation and quietly told the teacher about it. John Gruber also noticed this and, after observing, seemed to find something amiss and thus informed the police.

This time, the police seemed to notice it too. Outwardly, they interacted with him as usual, but when he got up to go to the bathroom, one officer pretended to accidentally knock down his phone and quickly glanced at his sent messages when picking it up.

Of course, Cheng Wanli couldn’t have been foolish enough to discuss anything obvious with the kidnappers; he used a code. The issue was — he’s a Canadian, following a Huaxia Country team to shoot an advertisement here, so how could he be in contact with a local unknown number?!

At this point, the police wasted no time in pinning him down and questioning him. Cheng Wanli stubbornly refused to explain the situation. But the police were no pushovers, ignoring his excuses, they directly retrieved the number online and quickly found the usage records in the southern mountains of Innsbruck!

Now, everything was clear. When the cold handcuffs snapped onto Cheng Wanli’s wrists, he finally broke down! No matter how well he pretended, he was just a second-generation rich kid who had never seen such an encounter. Of course, he dared not say his sister hired a killer; he only mentioned that because Jian Anning didn’t get along with them, Cheng Tingting sought local friends to "teach her a lesson." They didn’t take any money from this; the ransom was demanded by the kidnappers themselves. He wasn’t aware of or involved in other matters.

The police didn’t heed his explanations, just as he could contact the kidnappers, naturally, they could trace them back! Immediately, the police took control of Cheng Wanli and had him talk to Franz, luring him out.
