Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit
Chapter 359: Kidnapping

Chapter 359: Chapter 359: Kidnapping

Kuang Yu had just exited the alleyway between the two buildings when he witnessed the scene with his own eyes.

Afterward, his first reaction was to chase after them.

But after running a few steps, he stopped again.

How could two legs outrun four wheels?

He immediately went to look for his car and luckily, since it was his first day reporting for work, the car wasn’t parked in the underground garage but was nearby.

He ran at full speed, and after a dozen seconds, he finally reached his car.

He got in, fastened his seatbelt, started the engine, and within less than ten seconds, he zoomed away.

As he approached the security booth, he rolled down the window in advance and stuck out his head:

"Which way did that van go? They abducted one of our hospital’s doctors!"

What?

The security guard was momentarily stunned.

Kuang Yu was frantic:

"Raise the barrier first, I’ll go after them. You immediately call the police. The kidnapped doctor is Dr. Lu from orthopedics."

This time the security guard snapped into action and hurriedly pressed the button, lifting the barrier.

"Okay, I got it. I’ll call the police right away."

...

Lu Jing hadn’t been unconscious for long; he woke up after just a few minutes.

But being awake was useless; he could feel that his hands and feet were tied up, his mouth was taped, and his eyes were covered with a black cloth, so he couldn’t see anything.

Nervous, anxious, afraid—he had all those feelings.

But he had to force himself to calm down.

The more perilous the situation, the less he could afford to be impulsive. He had to remain calm. Only by staying calm could he think of a way out, right?

The van was moving fast; he could hear the whooshing wind.

Initially, the road was fairly smooth, but it wasn’t long before it became bumpy.

Clearly, the van had left the main road and was now on a country lane, which explained the rough and uneven surface.

At that moment, someone in the van spoke up:

"Boss, there’s a call coming through."

"Answer it."

"Yes!"

Lu Jing kept his body still, even maintaining his breathing just as it was when he had been unconscious.

So, the kidnappers in the car didn’t notice anything off and took the call without concern.

"Hey, boss, I’ve got the person, but you need to transfer the money to my account!"

"Three million, not a penny less!"

"Okay, deal!"

The phone call was brief and ended quickly.

Even after listening in, Lu Jing couldn’t tell who was on the other line.

Was it the Lu Family’s enemy?

Anyone who achieved the Lu Family’s status naturally had a few enemies.

But Lu Jing had never meddled in business affairs and genuinely didn’t know anything.

Moreover, if it was the Lu Family’s enemy, why would they want to help him?

The second branch wasn’t the main operator of the Lu Family, right?

His own parents were just ordinary school teachers, and he was just a simple doctor, this...

Wait, the Gu Family?

Or perhaps, Jiang Qiu?

If either of these parties was involved, then it would make sense.

But was it really them?

Lu Jing’s mind was racing when suddenly, the familiar smell of ethanol attacked him again.

"This bitch woke up so fast, damn it!"

...

Yes, Lu Jing fainted once more.

And this time, it wasn’t a matter of minutes before he regained consciousness.

His captors had clearly increased the dosage.

When Lu Jing woke up again, he was no longer in the shabby van, with no idea how much time had passed or how far they had traveled.

The black cloth over his eyes seemed to have loosened, but Lu Jing didn’t dare move.

After all, he didn’t know if someone was watching him right then.

One second, two seconds passed...

One minute, two minutes passed...

Finally, after about five minutes, the black cloth covering his eyes slipped down slightly.
