Rebirth in the Spirit World, the Goddess's Brilliant Counterattack

Cheng Feng's eyes were sharp. He snatched the package from his hand and quickly searched his body. Finding nothing, he asked, "Who told you to take this package?"

"Who ordered this? What are you talking about? I picked it up! Let it go!" The young man rolled his eyes and firmly claimed that he was just a passerby and knew nothing about it.

"Boy, don't play tricks on me. Explain every word clearly. You are helping the evil, and this money will make you an accomplice!" Cheng Feng's patience is running out. As time goes by, the danger of the hostages will increase.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" The boy stared at him stubbornly.

"Captain, we have investigated clearly. This child's name is Wang Xiaohu. He is twelve years old. His parents passed away early, and he lives with his only relative, his grandmother, in a forest village." The guard next to him showed the information to Cheng Feng.

Cheng Feng glanced at him. Twelve years old? Judging from his figure, he would have been only about ten years old. His pale and skinny appearance clearly showed that he was malnourished.

Wang Xiaohu didn't expect them to find out his identity so quickly, and a trace of panic appeared on the child's face.

Li Dajun accompanied Qinglian out of hiding. She rushed forward and took Wang Xiaohu's hand, tears streaming down her face like pearls falling from a string, she couldn't stop crying...

"Young child, can you tell me who sent you here? My elf daughter is imprisoned by him and his shadow is overshadowing her. As long as you tell me the truth, I will forgive you and even give you magic gold coins. I beg you, I only have this one child of light, and I am willing to kneel for you. Do you understand?"

"Liana!" Archmage Li Dajun quickly supported her.

“Don’t…” Wang Xiaohu was shocked by Qing Lian’s fear and said quickly: “I…I don’t mean to hurt anyone!”

Cheng Feng's eyes flickered, he saw the truth, and said in a gentle tone: "So, how did he tell you? As long as you tell the truth, I will guarantee your safety. You also hope not to worry your grandmother, right?"

"I..." Wang Xiaohu looked at the tearful and exhausted woman and recalled the vague face of his mother in his memory, and the grandmother who was waiting for him to return on the sickbed at home.

Cheng Feng loosened his clenched hands and waited quietly for him to speak.

Finally, he pursed his lips and said slowly: "He just asked me to come and get this. I didn't know he kidnapped your daughter. I'm sorry."

"Who is he?" Qing Lian asked immediately.

“I don’t know his name, but I know his surname seems to be Fang and he just moved to a village near us.”

Fang? It was indeed Fang Qizhi. Qing Lian's anger burned like a raging fire.

"Is this the person?" Cheng Feng immediately showed Fang Qizhi's portrait.

Wang Xiaohu carefully examined the photo. "It's somewhat similar, but I'm not sure. He was wearing a mask at the time."

"How about this?" Cheng Feng covered half of Fang Qizhi's face.

"It's him!" This time, Wang Xiaohu was very sure.

“Where is he now?”

"I don't know. He intercepted me outside my house. It should have been in West Lane of Chengzhongcun at that time."

Cheng Feng immediately informed another expedition team of the location and asked them to search quickly.

"Why did you obey his orders and take the things when you didn't know him?"

Wang Xiaohu lowered his head. "My grandmother is ill and needs medical treatment. He just said that if I help me get this item, he will give me 500 silver coins, so I came."

No wonder Fang Qizhi trusted this kid so much and was not afraid that he would run away with the money. A frail elder was too easy to be manipulated. He was not afraid at all that Wang Xiaohu had other intentions.

Cheng Feng's face was touched, and he continued to ask: "When did he contact you? How did you know the exact time?"

"It's... the phone number you called."

"Phone?" Cheng Feng frowned, "Which phone?"

"He was the one who asked you to put the money in that... place..." Wang Xiaohu thought of the conversation just now, and his heart was full of regret. Although he clearly noticed that there was something strange in the conversation, he still went there for the five hundred silver coins.

"You called?!" Cheng Feng noticed something was wrong, "Then why is there his voice?"

"There are two magic communicators." Wang Xiaohu said in a low voice.

Cheng Feng frowned and thought, then understood instantly, "You mean, you and he use two numbers to talk, one for us and the other for him, is that right?"

"Yes." Wang Xiaohu nodded.

Cheng Feng gritted his teeth and suddenly understood. No wonder Fang Qizhi's voice was a little blurry and noisy during the call. He originally thought that he was using voice deformation magic...

Putting a young child in danger is truly an evil act!

"I will not let him escape this responsibility!" Qing Lian's eyes flashed with determination. She realized that only when Fang Qizhi was safe outside, would they have peace.

Li Dajun sighed deeply, how could human nature degenerate to this extent?

"Where's the cell phone?" Cheng Feng was sure that he had not found anything on Wang Xiaohu.

"There! He asked me to hang up, turn off my phone and hide in the bushes." Wang Xiaohu pointed to a place that was tracked by the technical department.

Cheng Feng immediately instructed the team to look for the cell phone in the bushes.

"Captain, we found it. There are indeed two mobile phones. One of them has the number we were tracking. In addition, there is also a telescope." The other side reported quickly.

"telescope?"

Wang Xiaohu immediately explained: "He asked me to use it to monitor whether anyone went to the bridge hole to place items."

Fang Qizhi is both vicious and cunning, and he actually came up with such a trick!

"Captain, what should we do next?" asked the policeman beside him. Every moment on the river was crucial. If Fang Qizhi failed, the situation of the hostages would be in danger.

"Give him the money. I don't care about the money. I just want my daughter to return safely." Qing Lian couldn't bear the consequences of Fang Qizhi not getting the money.

"Will he really let him go once he gets the money?" Cheng Feng asked back, "Once he hands over the money, we will lose all our bargaining chips."

Qing Lian was hurt by Cheng Feng's words, her face turned pale and her body shook.

Yes, Fang Qizhi would ruthlessly betray her once he achieved his goal. It was the same in the past. When Jiang Hou asked her for money for gambling, he would only show a moment of tenderness when he got the money. Once he succeeded, he would become a completely different person, sometimes even beating her.

"Then how should we deal with it?" Qing Lian asked helplessly.

Cheng Feng pondered for a moment, squatted down, and said to Wang Xiaohu seriously: "You must understand that you have become an accomplice now, do you understand?"

Wang Xiaohu's face was filled with fear.

"Are you willing to make amends?"

"Yes." Wang Xiaohu responded immediately, moved by Cheng Feng's intimidation.

"Then call him immediately and tell him that you have received the money. Ask him what to do next? Where to send the money? Can you do it? Don't worry, we will protect you and your grandmother's safety, and everything will be fine."

Wang Xiaohu did not answer immediately, but looked at Qinglian, "Auntie, will you really give me money?"

"Yes, yes, as long as my daughter is safe, I am willing to give you all the money." Qing Lian looked sincere.

"I only need five thousand." Wang Xiaohu looked at Cheng Feng, "I can do it."

He was a brave man, otherwise he would not have come here alone so late at night. Although he was still afraid in his heart, his courage would arise naturally when he thought of his bedridden grandmother.

"Okay!" Cheng Feng took the phone from the police officer and handed it to Wang Xiaohu. "Stay calm and don't let him notice anything unusual."

"I know."

Wang Xiaohu took the phone, and the technical team was on standby to track the location of the phone number.

He dialed the number for contacting Fang Qizhi, and the call was connected after only one ring...

"Have you got the treasure?" The voice on the other side was full of urgency and no disguise. Qing Lian instantly recognized that it was Forrest's whisper. She quickly covered her lips tightly to prevent any sound from leaking out.

"I...got it. What should I do next?" Hogg stuttered nervously. Kraven looked at him encouragingly, which gave him courage. Hogg was not afraid of the unknown.

Fortunately, Forester was only thinking about the gold coins at the moment and didn't notice anything unusual. "Take the items and head to the Emerald Dome immediately. I'll be waiting for you there. Remember, don't talk to anyone. If there is any problem, report to me immediately."

Although the Emerald Dome has a beautiful name, it is actually just a small pavilion on the top of a mountain, located next to a village on the edge of the city. Due to its geographical location, many villagers regard this place as a place to discard waste. It is filled with stench and few people set foot here. It is an ideal place for transactions.

"Then...what about my reward? When will it be paid to me?" Hogg asked.

Kraven's eyes lit up as he looked at Hogg. He had not expected the young man to be so alert and to ask for details, which was exactly in line with his eagerness to get the gold coins.

"I'll give it to you once I get the treasure! Why are you in such a hurry?" Forrest seemed impatient. "Use the communication stone to contact her again!"

He was referring to Qing Lian's magic communication stone.

Kraven quickly typed a message to Hogg on his magic crystal phone, "Do as he says."

Then he took Qing Lian and retreated a few dozen yards away, turning down the volume on his cell phone to ensure that Forrest could not eavesdrop on their conversation.

Kraven nodded, and Hogg immediately dialed Qing Lian's magic communication.

"Hello? The gold coins are given to you! Where is my daughter?" Qing Lian's voice trembled.

"Go to the Five-Color Oak Workshop and look for it yourself!" Forrest's voice turned cold again.

"Why should I believe you?" Qing Lian asked anxiously.

"Do you have a choice?" Forrest hung up the phone decisively.

Kraven sneered. The Five-Colored Oak Workshop was an abandoned factory, which was indeed suitable for hiding, but it was located in the suburbs east of the city, and the urban village was located west of the city. How could he cross the entire city and take the hostage there? Obviously, he wanted to divert attention!

This also illustrates a problem, Forrest never intended to release the hostage, they must find her as soon as possible!

"Where is the tracking location?" Kraven asked the technical team.

"The city village at the end of West Street is moving."

It seems that he is really going to get the gold coins, so the hostages should be safe for the time being.

"Let's go to the Emerald Dome immediately."

Kraven immediately informed the others that even if they found Forrest's trace, they must not act rashly. The first priority is to determine the location of the hostages.

Cities and villages are densely populated, and if we act there, the risk is extremely high and the hostages are likely to be put in danger again. It is best to lure him to the Emerald Dome and capture him there, leaving him with nowhere to escape.

"receive!"

Everyone took action, this night was destined to be restless.
