Chapter 545: Here Comes the Opportunity
Amus.e.m.e.nt parks back then weren’t similar to the ones these days. Rong City was still a newly developed city at that time, and the amus.e.m.e.nt parks were located in suburban areas.
There was an undeveloped cottage area near the amus.e.m.e.nt park. Da and his three friends were hiding in one of those cottages.
As the Huo Family’s RV parked in front of the amus.e.m.e.nt park’s gate, one of Da’s men happened to be nearby, shopping for cigarettes. He spotted the RV immediately.
Such a large RV from a well-known company would have been very eye-catching at that time.
He did not only see the RV but also saw the three well-dressed kids from the Huo Family.
Looking at the RV which he knew would be worth millions, the man’s eyes glowed. He went back and talked to Da about it. All four men believed that the RV was their best chance.
They could simply abduct the young and weak kids and ask their parents for ransom money. It didn’t matter which family they were from, because they were obviously rich.
The three kids came in an RV to the amus.e.m.e.nt park. How rich was their family?
The four vicious and greedy men soon made their decision and jumped into action.
Swayed by the temptation of money, they made their decision in no time, then planned out their moves immediately. After all, the more time they wasted, the more problems could occur.
They did not take Huo Jinkai and his siblings very seriously. They were only three young kids, weren’t they?
Da had been staying near the amus.e.m.e.nt park during those days, mingling with the tourists to have his traces covered. Based on the information provided by Liang, he quickly worked up a plan.
He was a criminal and was well-prepared. After finalizing the plan, the four men bought the tickets to the park and then went in.
Under Da’s direction, the other three men took action separately. Just as they were thinking about how to catch the three kids and bring them out of the park, the three kids showed themselves into the haunted house.
Da was thrilled to see that happen. It was exactly like someone bringing him a pillow when he was sleepy. He immediately adjusted the plan and decided to kidnap them right inside the haunted house.
In the haunted house, Huo Wushuang was first curious to see the “ghosts”. Soon, she got scared and started asking her brothers if they could leave the place. The two boys immediately decided to bring her out of the house.
Just then, two of the “ghosts” jumped out of nowhere and darted up to them. Huo Wushuang and the two boys were immediately startled.
They quickly turned to leave, but two other “ghosts” showed up behind them, following them everywhere.
The two brothers weren’t expecting the hunted house to be so realistic. They looked at Huo Wushuang. She was very frightened by the “ghosts” and was crying loudly.
The boys were very nervous at that moment. They comforted the little girl, trying to bring her out of the place. It never occurred to them that those “ghosts” could actually be criminals. All they tried to do at that moment was to comfort their little sister.
While the two boys were focusing on the little girl, Da and the other three who were well-prepared knocked all three of them out with a baseball bat.
That had happened right inside the haunted house, in a dark corner.
No one had noticed that. Even if the others had noticed that they would have thought of it as a new game launched by the park. How would anyone ever think that some criminals would be crazy enough to kidnap small children in broad daylight?
The four men easily brought the three kids out of the park.
They didn’t travel too far away from the park. They believed that the most dangerous place could also be the safest place.
They were very familiar with that area. The cottage area was going to be torn down sooner or later, so people would rarely visit that area after that. The four criminals brought the kids straight back to their cottage.
Da was the most brutal one out of all the criminals. He was wanted nationwide as a murderer. He now had a chance to get a big sum of money. He surely wouldn’t let the rich kids run away.
He tied the three kids tight and sealed their mouths to keep them from screaming. He didn’t give them any chance to run.
The work was done a little too easily, so much so that he didn’t even have a sense of accomplishment.
Da was an experienced criminal. He didn’t allow accidents to happen easily.
He told his friends to watch the kids, then started figuring out who the kids were.
Of course, he didn’t need to make much effort for that, because the kids would tell him everything he wanted to know once they woke up.
Da liked to be a hundred percent sure, so he decided to figure it out himself nevertheless.
He searched through the kids’ pockets. Unfortunately, both the boys hadn’t brought their phones, as they were simply out playing with their little sister.
Huo Jinyao had brought only a camera to take pictures of his sister.
Da found a picture of his family on the camera and some pictures that were taken at a family party.
Da didn’t know Huo Mingguang, but someone else did.
When Old Mrs. Huo died, her family had announced her death to the city. Among the four abductors, a man called Chen Si was from Rong City.
He did not only know who Huo Mingguang was but also knew that he was from the richest family in the city. He knew that the family had a lot of a.s.sets.
That cottage area they were in was about to be developed by none other than the Huo Family.
Chen Si looked at the photo, then told Da about Huo Mingguang and his family. Da burst into laughter after hearing him.
He felt as if G.o.d had given him a huge gift.
He was planning to abduct a random kid, but in the end, he got the kids from the richest family in the city.
Exactly how rich was the richest family of the city? Da decided to get as much out of the family as possible. He was going to ask for a small sum of money, but after learning who the three kids were, he decided to ask for more.
He decided to ask for a huge sum of ransom money. He wanted that money to guarantee him and his friends a safe and comfortable life until they died.
They discussed within themselves, about how much money they were going to ask the family. They found ten million too little. The Huo Family must have hundreds of millions.
Giving them a hundred million wouldn’t be a problem for the Huo Family, but Da wanted even more than that. He planned to charge fifty million for each kid.
As their target became clearer, the rest of the job was easy.
As an experienced criminal, Da made more plans as soon as he could.
He first sent Chen Si out to buy a few SIM cards that weren’t registered with their real names, then took a picture of the three kids with Huo Jinyao’s camera.
The kids hadn’t woken up in a long time, so he sent their pictures to the Huo Family.
After doing that, Da started to feel that the cottage was no longer the best place to hide. He couldn’t let the Huo Family members find even a single trace of him, so he had to s.h.i.+ft further away.
About an hour away from the amus.e.m.e.nt park, was the sea.
There were some newly built ports in that area. Da decided to hide in one of those ports and leave right after he received the money.
Da had everything planned out perfectly. Then, he brought the three kids away to the ports.
