Chapter 275 Love You
"How much money we needed are also depends on the value of the beautiful woman in your heart."
Looking at the greed of the bushy-bearded man, Elly knew that he wanted to take this opportunity to withdraw a large sum of money from Alex. She stared and said deliberately. "Do you take me too seriously? Although he has a lot of money, he can't follow other people's orders for the sake of a girl."
The sharp blade lifted Elly's chin so that she dared not move. The bulging eyes of a man with a bushy beard are staring at you.
"Don't think we're idiots. Alex recently generously planned a big wedding for the two of you. If he doesn't love you, how can there be such a big event?"
Elly had a stiff throat when asked. Her heart was beating suddenly, trying to keep calm outside and asked. "Who said so? It's not true."
"Are you kidding me? We don't rely on rumors. All your actions are under control. Why do you think we found you so simple?"
Elly's heart trembled and her heart was relieved. She understood the meaning behind this sentence. Someone around her betrayed her and was an accomplice.
When Alex and Secretary Gerald returned to the company, he received a strange phone call. He frowned and thought, this is a private phone number that only acquaintances knew.
Something went wrong, and he got through. "Hello?"
"Good day, Mr. Alex." The man's crazy laughter sounded from the other side, and the strange voice made him suspicious.
"Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that your woman is in my hands."
Alex was no more than a line in the movie, and his tone is impatient. "I have no time for a joke"
"Wait, wait." The other party realized that Alex wanted to hang up the phone and screamed in panic. "Mr. Hargreaves. Your woman's name is Elly. I have your woman in my hand. Do you want me to throw her away?"
As soon as his finger was about to be moved to the red button to turn off, Alex pressed it on his ear again, frowning, and asked solemnly.
"I want to hear her voice."
He was a big boss, and it was no stranger for him that his relatives to be kidnapped and extorted. With regard to Elly's safety, he would rather believe that there was, rather than let it go and accidentally putting her in danger.
"Hey, speak up." The voice was so low that Alex imagined that the kidnappers were pointing their phones at Elly.
No response.
The noise of the clash tightened his heart, clenched his fists, and waited patiently.
A familiar voice was lifted easily "It's Me."
It's Elly!
Alex's body was stiff. He knew it's true.
Elly could not finish talking, her body was forced to swing and her back hit the car wall.
The man with a bushy beard glanced at her, his eyes showing annoyance. He thinks she is reasonable and smart and doesn't think she would pretend to be obedient like other kidnapped idiots.
"Now do you believe that Elly is in our hands?"
Alex was angry, but he controlled his emotions and asked questions calmly. "State your purpose."
"Mr. Alex is very pleasant to speak. I like it."
"Don't beat around the bush."
"Well, we are not used to it, there is no resentment, but in order to redeem your woman, you should also provide corresponding value, right?"
Raul said the number he asked for Alex's voice was cold and her eyes narrowed, as dangerous as a cheetah.
"Considering the position of Ms. Elly, I think it's 50 million dollars." The man with a thick beard requested with disdain.
50 million was a big number for many people, but Alex did not frown as soon as he heard the number. In his mind, Elly was a priceless treasure, not a few inanimate numbers.
His silence misled the other party. "Is a great boss quiet because he's afraid to buy money? Remember, I'm in a bad mood. Miss Elly is the only one who would suffer."
Alex asked the place of the transaction. The ugly bushy beard made him feel like a fool. "If Miss Elly knew that Alex met such conditions, she would certainly be moved to cry."
Raul was already talking nonsense. "Let's talk about the time and place of the transaction."
"We will send the time and place. Always put your phone next to you." The sound of the warning was more serious. "I hope Mr. Alex will obediently cooperate with our control. If you call the police, it will be difficult for me to guarantee the safety of Ms. Elly."
"I want to talk to Elly and give the phone to."
The other party turned off the call and don't let him finish.
When Secretary Gerald saw Alex's ferocious expression, he asked carefully. "What happened Mr. Hargreaves?"
"Go to the Office" Alex took the lead until he sat in the work chair, his face darker. "Elly has been kidnapped, and they're asking for $50 million."
"50 million dollars?" Secretary Gerald could not help sighing. "Do you want me to call the police? "
This was the first solution that Gerald thought of, but it was immediately rejected by Alex. He didn't want Elly to be in danger and would not risk her safety.
When the enemy contacted them again, they would know their next move and must send someone to watch our side. If there was a big noise, it will endanger her.
Alexis waited for the other party to call, but the news suddenly lost power and there was no phone call. While he was worried about Elly, he thought about Kitten and how scared and uneasy he would be if he didn't see his mother coming home.
Subordinates have tracked Elly's car parked next to a small park, where there are no cameras, and the kidnappers may have taken her away through another gate. Time was too tight to find out the whereabouts of the kidnappers.
With full of complaints, Gerald hurried into the office in a vague voice.
"Linda just learned about Elly's kidnapping and suddenly remembered one thing. Elly had told Linda before that if something happened to her, she said that we should not panic."
"What do you mean?" Alex frowned and a thrilling idea came to her mind. "Does she know about it?"
"This is not a simple kidnapping accident, nor is it an accident. The kidnapping is planned and organized. The question was how did Elly guess?"
Gerald's words even raised a lot of doubts about the incident. Alexis was exasperated and waved his fingers to drive people away. "Keep investigating. All should be done in secret, do not directly contact with the people around you, to avoid alarm."
"Yes, sir." Secretary Gerald obediently answered
"Get out of here."
Knowing that Alexis was in a bad mood, Gerald left the room and gave him space to stabilize his mood. Whenever something happens to Elly, Alex seems to have become someone else.
Alexis subconsciously moves the mouse on the computer screen and opens every picture of Elly that he has taken public or on the spot. Even she didn't know there was a picture of her on his work computer. After looking at every picture for a long time, he found that there was an e-mail from Elly in the mailbox.
"When did she send it?"
The message in the email was exactly as what Linda had said.
'If anything happens to me, don't worry. I know you won't be satisfied because I'll do whatever I want. I have my own plan. It's very safe. Please, believe me.'
The email said to him
Alex's heart was startled by the last two small words and then he thought 'wow.'
The stone on his heart was lifted, and he was breathless and unhappy. It seems that Elly has been looking forward to this situation for a long time, and she was psychologically prepared in advance. He didn't know what attitude to take towards her conceited behavior.
Meanwhile, the kidnapper finally called.
"At 8:00 tomorrow morning, you will go to the designated place along with the cash. We'll tell you about the location in 15 minutes. Don't play tricks on stalkers. Our people are everywhere."
