When it’s at midnight, there was a yellow cab with Shanghai’s license plate driving near the entrance of Beijing-Shanghai highway.
In order to avoid any unnecessary accidents, Rebekah and Hayden got off the car about four miles till the destination. The driver cast them a wondering look and seemed to want to say something.
“Please keep the change.”
Handing over two-hundred-yuan cash, Hayden cut off the driver’s gazing.
“Thank you.” The driver hurriedly took the money and kindly reminded them, “You two need to be careful. The north of city isn’t exactly safe. Do you live here?”
Hayden immediately nodded, “Yes, it’s just a little way off. The road ahead is going to be bumpy, so we’ll just walk there. Thank you.”
The driver then left.
There were just some dim road lamps in the outskirts and no traces of people.
Hayden turned on the phone and navigated their way to the abandoned power plant while holding Rebekah’s hands.
“Boss, they’re here.”
One of the thug’s voice echoed in the spacious plant.
After a while, someone walked off the concrete floor which raised a lot of dusts that were circling under the faint light.
Seeing that Hayden was standing next to Rebekah, Zed’s face immediately changed.
“I told you that you ought to come alone.”
“I don’t know how to get here.” Rebekah looked at him boldly. “She was just accompanying me. Cut the crap. I’ve brought the money. Where is Benjamin?”
“He is at where he should be right now.”
Ted then glanced at Rebekah’s back coldly and asked, “Where is the money?”
Rebekah then took the 20 million yuan check from her pocket, “Her it is.”
Ted’s face immediately darkened after seeing the check, “Rebekah, are you messing with me?”
“Who is messing with you?” Rebekah’s eyes changed. “Here is exactly 20 million yuan. It looks like you are the one who is regretting. I’ll tear the check right now and die with you if you do that. You won’t be able to have a dime.”
“Am I dumb to you?” Ted said angrily.
“If I take the check right now and give you this boy, you will just notify the bank later which definitely won’t cash it and I would probably be ambushed by the police. Nice try.”
“What do you mean?” Rebekah didn’t know what he wanted to say.
“20 million yuan in all cash.”
His determined voice echoed in the large plant.
Hearing his words, Rebekah was livid with anger. “You didn’t even say this at first and how am I supposed to give you 20-million-yuan cash? Are you fucking out of your mind?”
“This is easy.” Ted’s eyes turned much fiercer and landed his look on Hayden.
“One of you stays here and the other one would withdraw the money from the bank first thing in the morning. You two won’t have the slightest chance to see the boy if I don’t see the money.”
“Ted, you asshole.” Rebekah almost wanted to rush to Ted and fight with him but was dragged back by Hayden.
