Chapter 190: Chapter 191 Have You Heard of Heaven?
On the outskirts, on the highway.
A somewhat old white van was speeding along the winding mountain road.
The driver was a man in his thirties with ordinary features, dressed plainly, his eyes harboring a sinister gleam.
"Uncle," from within the dim cargo area, came the childish voice of a boy, "where are you taking me?"
"Don’t be afraid!" the man said with a smirk, "Uncle is going to take you to a fun place... Have you heard of Heaven?"
Sunlight peeked through the holes in the tinted car window decals, casting specks of light in the rear section, revealing a delicate little face in the back.
The child in the back was none other than Gan Tang.
Hearing the man utter the word "Heaven," a strange look flickered in the little one’s eyes.
He certainly knew what "Heaven" implied; the Bible says that good people go to Heaven after they die—it was a place for the dead.
After a moment of silence, the little guy spoke earnestly, "I don’t think Heaven is fun."
The man chuckled darkly, "You haven’t been there, how would you know?"
Sure enough, children are so easy to deceive and coax. This little dimwit believed him just like that, which saved him the trouble, After all, children throwing tantrums can be annoying. There was no need to tie him up; the little critter followed him obediently. This was much easier than he had anticipated.
Gan Tang pursed his lips and continued, "My mommy always says, not even God’s house is as rich as ours, we have enough money to last ten lifetimes."
"Is that so?" the man’s tone was somewhat uncertain.
"Of course. Our cupboards are filled with lots and lots of money, and many valuable things... Oops!" the little guy covered his mouth, "My mommy told me not to tell others, uncle, you... you mustn’t tell anyone!"
"Really?!" There was a note of interest in the man’s voice.
Gan Tang sneakily glanced at the man’s face through the rearview mirror, "Of course, it’s true. If you don’t believe me, I can take you to see my house."
Looking at the child’s demeanor and attire, he indeed didn’t seem like a child from an ordinary family. If his family was really as rich as he said, why not go for a bigger score? If he pulled it off, he could live a carefree life for the rest of his days.
Greed blossomed in the man’s heart.
"Little guy, do you know your mom’s phone number?"
"Of course," answered Gan Tang.
"Good," the man’s mouth curved into a smile, "then we’ll give her a call in a bit, to report your safety."
In the back seat, Gan Tang’s tensed body slightly relaxed.
Earlier at the farm, he was intently working on the grafting a young shoot that his teacher had given him when the man suddenly picked him up and took him to a secluded area within the farm.
At the time, the man only said that his mommy had sent him to fetch Gan Tang. The little guy knew he was encountering a bad person but didn’t resist because he saw the knife hidden in the man’s sleeve.
His mommy had taught him the two most important things to do when facing a bad person:
First, don’t be afraid.
Second, use your brain to think of a way out.
He was small and weak, hardly a match for a man; the best plan was to temporarily obey and think of a strategy.
So he pretended not to know any better and obediently followed the man, but since there was no one around and the man was holding his hand the whole time, he didn’t resist.
The little guy had thought about quietly calling Gan Yuan when the man wasn’t paying attention.
Unfortunately, at first, he was under the man’s watchful eye and had no chance, and later his watch lost its signal.
Quietly lifting his wrist, he checked his watch, which only had one bar of battery left. He stealthily moved his small hand behind his back and, while the man wasn’t looking, turned off the watch.
