Wind Fills the Tower

Even though I had the accelerator floored, this 1300cc minivan continued its snail's pace, slowly making its way towards its destination. It was then that I understood why gangsters loved driving BMWs. The explosive engine, the thrill of instant acceleration, and its agile handling allowed it to reach its destination in the shortest time, making it the perfect weapon for engaging in immediate firefights.

No wonder Yu Mei's father insisted on giving me a BMW 735 as part of my dowry when I married her, but I firmly refused his offer because of my perceived incompatibility. But now, it was too late for regrets.

Fortunately, the minivan's advantage was its small size, coupled with my years of honed driving skills; although the process was somewhat thrilling, I utilized its greatest strength, weaving through the crowded roads to Wen Hua's parents' house with the ease and slipperiness of an eel.

At that moment, I anxiously spoke to the air, "Yu Mei, what exactly happened? How could Wen Hua be kidnapped?"

The car stereo, which I hadn't turned on, started playing on its own, saying, "I received this message from Wen Hua's mother."

Xu Chunhui, who was also nearby, asked with concern, "Yu Mei, what exactly happened? Please explain clearly!"

The stereo paused for a moment, as if Yu Mei was thinking about how to tell us.

But we didn't have to wait long before it sounded again, telling us, "According to her mother, around nine o'clock, they were about to finish work. But then a large group of people inexplicably showed up, including a middle-aged man who didn't look like a good person. He suddenly wanted to register, saying he was looking for his relative and that they absolutely had to agree!"

I asked anxiously, "And then what happened?"

"They didn't want to agree at first, but then that group suddenly pulled out their weapons and said they were charlatans trying to scam people. They forcibly took Sister Wenhua away and severely beat her mother; as a result, her mother is still in the hospital!"

I slammed my hand on the steering wheel, angrily saying, "Damn it! They were clearly here to cause trouble! Do you know who did it?"

"I know! But..."

Hearing her hesitant expression, I couldn't help but yell at her, "You know who it is, why don't you just tell me? This stammering isn't like you at all!"

Xu Chunhui was probably frightened by my ferocious appearance. Although it wasn't her business, she still tried her best to comfort me, saying, "Hongwen, don't get so angry. Maybe Yumei has some unspeakable secret... So, please be patient and listen to her finish!"

"Yumei, I'm sorry! I was too impulsive just now, but I really want to know Wenhua's whereabouts as soon as possible. If you know who did it, could you please tell me quickly, so that if something happens to her, I won't be able to forgive myself for the rest of my life."

"Husband... I'm sorry! It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I don't want to see you go to your death!"

After hearing this, I said with a surprised look, "You... you're exaggerating! Besides, if we know who it is, we can call the police to arrest them, and maybe we won't get hurt..."

"Sigh... Honey, let me ask you a question first, and you have to answer me honestly!"

After hearing her irrelevant words, I almost fainted in the car. What kind of time is this, and this girl is still acting like a little girl, suddenly asking a question that has nothing to do with what I want to know.

However, I still tried my best to control my emotions and calmly said to her, "Go ahead, what is it?"

"Do you love me more, or Sister Wenhua more, or do you love Sister Chunhui more?"

Damn it! This little girl, now is not the time to ask such a stupid question! Therefore, even though I have a good temper, I couldn't help but get angry at her.

"Damn it! My goodness, is this the time to ask such a pointless question? If you ask another one, don't blame me for ignoring you from now on!"

"You...you're always yelling at people! Since you're going to your death, I'll grant your wish! The one who kidnapped Jiang Wenhua is Lin Wangtu, the one who killed me and my mother!"

"What! Wasn't he wanted and missing? How come he's back?"

But at this moment, the stereo, which wasn't powered on, fell silent.

I called out anxiously, "Yu-mei! Yu-mei!"

Xu Chun-hui, sitting next to me, sighed and said, "Hong-wen... don't call anymore, Yu-mei is gone!"

"Ah! Where did she go?"

"I don't know... after she finished speaking, I saw her float out of the car and fly towards Tamsui. But judging from her appearance, she seemed very sad..."

"Sigh... what is she thinking? Oh well, she should go home on her own when she's in a better mood. Let's go to Wen-hua's house first!"

On the other hand, to avoid further complications and considering the current situation, I thought it was better not to expose anything related to Xu Chun-hui for now.

So, after my insistence, Xu Chun-hui finally agreed to let me take her home first. After I took her home, I rushed to the Jiang family's house, and it was already past midnight.

The Jiang family's house was unusually quiet; not only was no one resting, but it was brightly lit everywhere; and my father-in-law, Jiang Huan-ji, was sitting in the living room with a livid face. I nervously glanced around the room. Thankfully, he was the only one there. The other relatives and friends were probably all at the hospital visiting my mother-in-law's injuries, so they weren't there.

But as soon as I entered, Jiang Huanji immediately started cursing at me: "Chen Hongwen! You wretched Taoist, look what you've done!"

Although I knew I was bound to be scolded, when did I become a wretched Taoist?

However, I could understand my father-in-law's feelings very well now, so even though he was speaking harshly to me, I stood silently in front of him. Because you can remarry after losing your wife, but the sudden disappearance of your carefully nurtured, beautiful daughter is a problem far more serious than your wife's infidelity.

To calm my father-in-law's near-hysterical and collapsing emotions, before he could continue his tirade, I quickly changed the subject and said, "Father-in-law... I know you're very angry right now and want revenge, but venting your anger on me won't help save Wenhua. So I think the most urgent thing right now is to find out who kidnapped Wenhua and determine their true purpose. That's more important for us to figure out how to deal with them. What do you think?"

I thought this would calm him down and stop him from using me as a pawn. But to my surprise, instead of calming down, he grabbed a crumpled piece of paper from the table and threw it at me.

Luckily, I still have some passion for baseball, so I calmly caught his unexpected "breaking ball."

I looked at his ashen face, puzzled, and said, "Uh... Father-in-law... what's wrong with you...?"

"See for yourself!"

I blankly unfolded the crumpled, utterly mangled piece of paper and saw a few crooked characters written on it, like those of a primary school student. Although it was only a few lines, it sent shivers down my spine. After reading it, I gasped, staring at it in horror.

It read: "If you want your daughter to be safe and sound, bring one million US dollars to Warehouse No. 3 in Jilongmatou tomorrow night at 10 PM. If you're late or call the police, you can expect to receive your daughter's raped body!"

Although there were many typos and some words even had phonetic symbols, the last sentence was crystal clear. But that wasn't all; what shocked me most was the final signature—"Lin Wangtu."

"Tell me yourself! What should we do?"

My mind went completely blank; my brain was utterly incapable of functioning.

"I truly don't know how you two managed to provoke that murderer, Chen Hongwen! I solemnly warn you now, if anything happens to Wenhua, even if it means I can never reincarnate and my cultivation is destroyed, I will ensure your Chen family suffers misfortune for millennia!"

"I will curse your Chen family: may all men not live past forty, forever enslaved; may all women not live past thirty, forever prostitutes, subjected to humiliation until death, and this cycle repeat for generations! I, Jiang Huanji, mean what I say, so you'd better watch out!"

With that, he ignored me, angrily turning and leaving, leaving me standing alone in the Jiang family's living room.

After a long while, my thoughts gradually returned, and I remembered his last words: "I, Jiang Huanji, mean what I say, so you'd better watch out!"

Damn it! How am I supposed to watch out? Your daughter got into trouble, and you're pushing all the blame onto me while you sit back and do nothing; if you really can't save your daughter, you'll blame me again…

Looking at those crooked, threatening words, I was in a state of utter confusion, not knowing what to do. Especially the ten million ransom he demanded—where am I supposed to find ten million for him, a middle school teacher earning such a meager salary each month?

Besides, why would he target Wenhua for no reason? Was it because Jiang Huanji unintentionally offended him, so he's taking it out on his daughter, and I've become Jiang Huanji's punching bag, ultimately becoming the scapegoat! And now he expects me to clean up this mess for him?

For some reason, at this moment, I suddenly thought of my other father-in-law. Since we can't involve the police, I think we should first discuss this thorny issue with Boss Heisong. Maybe he can come up with a solution. Moreover, how could I repay his usual "care" if I didn't drag him down with me?

Having finally made up my mind, I once again drove my precious little steamed bun in another direction…

*** *** ***

When I arrived at the Wu family's house, having spent the entire night awake, I heard no sounds of laughter or lewd play; instead, from about twenty or thirty meters away inside the house, I heard the angry roars and shouts of the Black Pine Boss.

When I reached the gate, I found it inexplicably wide open, twisted and gaping; and for some reason, there were no bodyguards. Looking around, the once lush green turf and the pristine white cobblestone path were now a chaotic mess; the desolate scene resembled a scene from a fierce artillery attack, a gruesome sight to behold.

As I followed him step by step to the entrance of the main building, I saw Wu Huosong's ferocious face staring fiercely at one of his four bodyguards, a vicious man named Bale, who was kneeling on the ground covered in blood.

Wu Huosong glanced at me, then continued cursing Guava without acknowledging me, saying, "Damn you! I never thought you, who always seemed so loyal to me, were such a traitor at heart... Tell me! What did that loser give you to be so ungrateful?" Guava

, covered in blood and swollen to the point of being unable to see his eyes, actually retorted, "Damn it! I'm just unlucky today, I didn't plan my luck and got caught by you. I have nothing to say! Damn it, if you want to kill me, just kill me, don't stand there whine!"

"Damn it! Very well, you have guts! You want to die easily? I won't let you die a quick death! You idiot, drag him away and cut his tendons, then cut out his tongue, gouge out his eyes and throw him into the sea! Hehehe, if heaven doesn't forsake you, you can swim to Xiamen and make a living!"

"Damn it! If you dare do that, even if I, Bale, become a vengeful ghost, I will definitely come back to claim your life!"

After hearing his words, Wu Huosong said smugly, "Your father's life has hundreds of wronged souls lining up below waiting for me. You want my life... Hmph! I think you'll just have to wait! Blackface, Dumb... drag him away, I never want to see him again!"

As I watched helplessly as Blackface and Dumb dragged him to the back gate, I heard a shrill scream like a pig being slaughtered; not long after, I saw the two men return to report.

At this moment, Blackface respectfully said to Wu Huosong, "Boss, we have already sent someone to send him on his way."

Wu Huosong simply nodded and waved for them to go and rest.

After he finished his business, he tossed me a cigarette, lit one for himself, took a deep drag, and then said to me as if nothing had happened, "What's wrong? Why did you come here today? Did you and Amei have a fight?"

I took out my lighter from my pants, lit my cigarette, and took a deep drag like him. After I slowly exhaled a smoke ring, I said to him tremblingly, "Father-in-law... I'm sorry to bother you so late... Please don't misunderstand, there's nothing between Yu-mei and me... But I really do have something I need your help with today."

After hearing my words, he looked at me with the curiosity of someone looking at an alien creature, and said with great interest, "Oh? The aloof teacher who usually keeps his distance from your father actually needs help from an old rogue like me? What, did you borrow money from loan sharks and can't pay it back, so you came to me for help?"

"Ah! No, it's... it's..."

"Damn it! I told you not to stutter, but you never seem to change! Oh, did you swallow someone's semen and it's stuck in your throat? I think you should drink some urine to moisten your throat before telling me?"

Hearing his filthy and disgusting words, I didn't back down and retorted with the same level of knowledge he had.

"Damn it! Your father is only being polite to you because you're my elder, so don't push your luck!"

I think he has a latent tendency to be humiliated, because after hearing my vulgar language, he not only didn't get angry, but walked over to me, patted my shoulder like a good buddy, and said with a grin, "Damn! That's how a real man with a dick should act! Tell me, what do you want? As long as I, Heisong, can handle it, I can take care of it for you."

After hearing his words, I told him everything about Wenhua. Unexpectedly, after I finished speaking, he suddenly revealed a murderous glint in his eyes and said, "Damn him! That wretched bastard, I was just worried about not being able to find him for revenge, and he actually delivered himself to my door! Ah Wen, leave this to me. If I don't kill him this time, I'll take his surname!"

Looking at his vicious and ruthless expression, it was as if his daughter was the one who had been kidnapped, leaving me completely bewildered. So I looked at him blankly and said, "Uh...father-in-law...what exactly happened?"

He popped a betel nut into his mouth, took another drag of his cigarette, and exhaled a smoke ring as he said to me, "Damn it! That bastard, I don't know how he bribed Bale, and while I was out, he secretly let Ah Hong and Qi Meng go. Luckily, I got back in time, and although a few of my men were injured, their backup wasn't in much better shape either... The important thing is, Ah Hong and Qi Meng are still in my hands. Hmph... Since he wants to find his wife and children, then I'll 'personally' take them back to him..."

As he said the last few words, he revealed a murderous glint in his eyes, which sent chills down my spine, and all the hairs on my body stood on end.

I thought to myself, thankfully I haven't had much contact with him, and I haven't offended him; otherwise, a ruthless demon like him, judging from the terrifying way he executed his bodyguard just now, if he wanted to get rid of me, I'm sure he could come up with thousands of cruel ways to torture me to the point of wishing I were dead.

But now that he readily agreed to my request, the heavy weight on my heart finally lifted a little. Now I can only pray that Wenhua will return to me safely tomorrow night; then I'll truly be grateful.

As for the one million US dollars ransom, Wu Huosong verbally agreed to lend it to me first; however, he wants me to find a way to repay it in my lifetime. Although it's interest-free, one million US dollars is equivalent to more than thirty million NT dollars. Unless I rob a bank or win the lottery jackpot, I don't think I'll ever be able to pay it off in this lifetime.

Although I was extremely unwilling, with no other options, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and sign this contract that would condemn me to eternal damnation.
