Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God Chapter 1399 - 1398
Previously on Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God...
Outside the bar.
Lin Fan held a wooden box in his hand and walked out of the bar with Lucy.
A regular sedan was parked outside, with Allen in the driver’s seat. Allen looked tense, as Lin Fan had previously called him to wait here, and inexplicably, his account had an extra 10 million Euros. He had no idea what was going on.
Seeing Lin Fan come out unharmed, Allen was relieved.
Lin Fan came to the car, handed the wooden box to Allen, and said, "This is the Snake Head. Help me take it back."
Allen glanced at Lucy and curiously asked, "Mr. Lin, who is she?"
Lin Fan said, "Her name is Lucy. I just bought her from the Iron Fist Gang. She was kidnapped in Eastern Europe and brought to the United Kingdom. I just found out that Li Zixia might also be in the hands of this gang."
Allen was shocked, "What? What do we do now?"
Lin Fan said, "I already have a lead."
Allen said, "So the 10 million Euros is?"
Lin Fan said, "It’s the mental compensation paid by the Iron Fist Gang to Lucy."
Allen was in awe, amazed that Lin Fan bought Lucy from the Iron Fist Gang without spending a dime and even got them to pay 10 million Euros.
Lin Fan not only had remarkable skills but also immense courage, directly confronting the Iron Fist Gang with no fear of their retaliation!
However, if Lin Fan hadn’t done this, the whereabouts of Li Zixia wouldn’t have been discovered so quickly. In the end, it all boiled down to Lin Fan’s prowess.
Allen couldn’t imagine if he were in this situation; he might not even have the courage to step through the bar door!
Lin Fan said, "I’ve already got the list of people involved in the auction that night. I’ll send it to you later. These people are all interested in Li Zixia’s artificial intelligence technology, mostly in your field. You are more familiar with this, so help me analyze who is most likely to have orchestrated this."
Allen readily agreed.
Lin Fan turned to Lucy and said, "Let’s go."
Then he took Lucy across the street, where Howard’s car was parked, with two unconscious thugs in the back seat.
Lin Fan opened the back door, pulled the two thugs out, threw them by the roadside, and then got in the car with Lucy and drove away.
While driving, Lin Fan handed his phone to Lucy, "Are you ready? Give your family a call. They must be worried sick."
Lucy took the phone, her hands trembling, clearly nervous. She wanted to contact her family but was also scared, feeling very conflicted.
After taking a deep breath, Lucy calmed down and dialed her father’s number.
In the United States, Fei City, in a middle-class neighborhood, inside one of the houses.
A middle-aged white couple sat at home; the wife was sobbing on the sofa, having lost track of how many times she cried, while the husband, agitated, was on the phone.
"I want to know where my daughter is!" the middle-aged man let out a desperate cry, "It’s been so many days, have you made any progress?"
The person on the other end reassured him, "Sir, please calm down. Our FBI agents have arrived in Eastern Europe and are investigating. All you can do now is patiently wait for news."
The middle-aged man said, "Can you promise me that my daughter is okay? Our family is falling apart; we can’t take it anymore."
The person on the other end said, "I’m sorry, sir, we can’t give you any guarantees right now. You need to calm down and comfort your family and wait patiently for the investigation results."
The middle-aged man desperately said, "What can I do? We’re about to go insane?"
The person on the other end said, "Sir, please be patient. Also, pay attention to your incoming calls. We suspect this is a kidnapping-for-ransom case. Be careful not to miss any unknown numbers. The other party might call at any time. Did I explain to you what to do?"
The middle-aged man said, "Yes, keep them on the line and have them call again, then notify you."
The person on the other end said, "Yes, we need to monitor their call, which may help us locate them."
After some instructions, the person on the other end hung up.
The middle-aged man, phone in hand, looked dazed as he sat next to his wife, meeting her hopeful gaze. Unwillingly, he shook his head.
"Oh, my God!" The middle-aged woman cried out, "My baby, what’s happened to her? It’s all my fault. I should never have let her go there."
She cried and blamed herself.
The middle-aged man set the phone down, embraced his wife, wanting to offer comforting words but unable to find them because he couldn’t even comfort himself. Only the news of their daughter’s safety could provide any solace.
Ring ring ring...
Just then, the phone suddenly rang.
The middle-aged man glanced at it, his expression changing, "It’s an unknown number, and an English number at that!"
The middle-aged woman immediately became alert, "Why is there suddenly a call from an English number? Could it really be the kidnappers?"
The two tension-filled faces.
The middle-aged man took a deep breath, calmed himself, picked up the phone, and answered, "Hello?"
"Dad?" A familiar voice came over the phone.
Upon hearing the voice, the middle-aged man became overwhelmed with excitement, "Oh, my God, Lucy, what happened? Are you okay? Where are you now?"
What? It’s his daughter calling, and the middle-aged woman also jumped up excitedly.
"Dad!" Lucy couldn’t help but cry, "I’m fine. I’m okay now."
The middle-aged man replied, "What happened? Where have you been these days?"
Lucy said, "I don’t know how to explain. We were kidnapped in Eastern Europe and sold to the United Kingdom. Dad, Emily... she’s dead."
The middle-aged man was shocked, "Oh, my God! And you... how did you escape?"
Lucy glanced at Lin Fan and said, "Someone saved me. He’s amazing! Dad, I want to go home. I miss you guys!"
The middle-aged man quickly said, "We’ll fly to the United Kingdom to find you right away! Oh, thank God, Lucy, what’s the name of the person who saved you?"
Lucy froze, realizing she didn’t even know Lin Fan’s name.
"What’s your name?" Lucy asked Lin Fan.
Lin Fan said, "My surname is Lin."
Lucy told her dad, "Dad, his surname is Lin. He’s a Huaxia person!"
In London, on a street, beside a restaurant with Eastern European ethnic features.
Lin Fan parked the car at the restaurant’s entrance and took Lucy inside. Having calmed down after the phone call with her father, Lucy looked relieved. Her parents were planning to come to the United Kingdom to pick her up, but her ordeal was not yet over.
It was already noon, and Lin Fan felt somewhat hungry.
The restaurant wasn’t large but was decorated with an exotic ethnic flair. It was hard to tell whether the food was any good, and perhaps because of its location, there were few customers at noon.
Possibly due to the lack of business, the restaurant staff warmly approached Lin Fan and Lucy as soon as they entered.
"Table for two? Please have a seat here. Here’s our menu. Take a look at what you’d like to eat?" The young waiter said with a smile.
