C269 He Had to Risk the Yellow River Stone Forest

After that, they realized that it was a well-planned scheme, but at this moment, not to mention Fan Xuehua and Fan Wenchun, even a veteran like Ning Peng actually believed in Fan Xuehua's nonsense.

After hanging up the phone, the three of them discussed briefly. Then, they followed the instructions of the other party, a person who called himself Elder Zheng, and drove straight to the northwest corner of Xijing City. It was a scenic tourist spot called Yellow River Stone Forest, which was about 20 kilometers away from the city.

It was said that the Yellow River Stone Forest was formed at the end of the third season and the initial period of the fourth era, which was more than four million years ago. Due to the movement of the earth's crust, the Yellow River Stone Forest was formed mainly from yellow lakes, gravel, and rocks. It had a myriad of shapes and forms.

The Yellow River Nine Bends, the stone forest was very delicate. The stone forest's scenic area was high up in the sky, and it was filled with a myriad of scenes. The mountains turned, and the scenery changed. Its design was natural, and it was a marvelous work of art. It was like the masterpiece of a grandmaster sculptor, and it was a comprehensive national geological park that combined the features of the terrain, geological structure, natural landscape, and cultural history.

Looking down from the stone forest observation platform, the surrounding cliffs were high up in the sky, and there were all kinds of natural shapes. The village and the desert were separated by a river. The houses were arranged in an orderly manner. Smoke curled up from the kitchen. There were also sand dunes that extended into the distance and looked at the River Heart Region. It formed a remote, vast, and vigorous western style painting.

It was currently winter season, and there were very few tourists. However, the spacious and empty scenic area was becoming more and more crude and crude. Looking out, the ten mile long gorge was like a gallery. The strange peaks and cliffs were in all shapes and sizes, and were filled with endless wonders. Some were slender and elegant, elegant and beautiful, or rough and simple, grand and grand, primitive and natural.

Fan Xuehua parked the Land Rover at the entrance of the scenic area. The three of them got off the car and carefully examined the surrounding terrain before walking into the scenic area. Although they had been to Yellow River Stone Forest Park a few times before, this time, their mental states were completely different from before.

In the past, when he came here, it was usually the end of spring, early summer, or early autumn and winter socializing season. As a tourist, he had leisure time and enjoyed the splendor of the Yellow River Stone Forest. However, this time, it was winter season, so how could it be the same when he came here to search for his family who had suddenly disappeared?

As he walked, he saw the mountain forest formed by the cliff pillars. Layers upon layers of strange faces that looked like ghosts and monsters had ferocious looks. Ning Peng suddenly felt a faint sense of inauspiciousness in his heart. Could it be that this was a trap that wanted to trap the three of them tightly?

However, right after that, he thought about it again. Since they were already here, why not go in and take a look? What exactly was going on? Perhaps, Fan Wenbin was really hiding in the Yellow River Stone Forest like what Elder Zheng had said on the phone.

A few donkey carts were parked in an empty area under a rock column named "Flying Stone. " In the past few years, as the reputation of the Yellow River Stone Forest increased day by day, a large number of tourists from both the middle and the outside came to visit. The farmers nearby also took the opportunity to drive their own donkey carts to solicit business.

The stone forest scenic area ranged from the southeast to the northwest. There were eight ditches, and among them, the most famous was the horse drinking ditches. The deep, long, winding ditches were like snakes that had been lit up and extinguished. It was a deep canyon formed by the Yellow River Valley after thousands of years of intense elevation of the earth's crust.

According to the agreement on the phone, Ning Peng and the other two went to the flying stone and waited for Elder Zheng. Unexpectedly, a local old man who was driving a donkey cart walked over with a smile and asked, " Are you looking for Elder Zheng?"

Seeing the old man's wrinkled face, Ning Peng asked coldly, "Where is Elder Zheng?" Based on his experience, this old man was definitely not the Elder Zheng who had called. He just wanted to show off.

Sure enough, the old man chuckled and revealed a mouthful of black and yellow teeth. He smiled and said, "It was Elder Zheng who told me to wait for you here. "

"Elder Zheng is your leader?" Seeing that it was someone sent by Elder Zheng, Ning Peng sneered disapprovingly and asked in a very contemptuous tone, "If he didn't come to pick us up personally, how could he let you come and pick us up?"

The old man said in a slightly awkward manner, "Elder Zheng has something to do now, so he called me to pick you up. " As he spoke, he quickly glanced at Fan Xuehua, Fan Wenchun, and said, "Let's go. "

Fan Xuehua saw that the old man was speaking in such a manner and was eager to save his father. He urged, "Uncle Ning, let's go see Elder Zheng now so that we can meet my father earlier. "

Fan Wenchun also said, "CEO Ning, let's follow this old man and go back early. " When she said this, her heart was filled with fear. She wished she could leave this ghastly place immediately.

Ning Peng thought for a moment and pulled Fan Xuehua to the side. He said softly, "Lil Fan, give Elder Zheng a call. Tell him that we're waiting for him under the flying stone. Ask him to bring your father here. "

When Fan Xuehua lowered his head to make the call, he reminded him again, "Tell Elder Zheng clearly that if we don't see him, we won't give him a cent. "

Before this, Elder Zheng made a request on the phone. If he wanted to find Fan Wenbin, he would first give him 5,000 yuan. Otherwise, he wouldn't tell Fan Wenbin where he was hiding. In order to meet his father as soon as possible, Fan Xuehua agreed to this condition.

Very quickly, the call was made. On the other end, after Elder Zheng heard Fan Xuehua's words, he fell silent for a moment before he said with a smile, " Little Fan, I really have something to do now. You just have to come with that old man Wang. He knows where I live. Don't worry.

After hanging up the phone, Fan Xuehua's face revealed a trace of hesitation. He looked at Ning Peng and asked a moment," Uncle Ning, What do you think we should do? Should we go or not?"

Ning Peng glanced at Old Man Wang and said in a low voice, "Fan, we were fooled. " Seeing that the other party was puzzled, he smiled and instructed, "Call the police quickly. "

With that, he walked in front of Old Man Wang and said with a smile, "Old Man Zheng asked us to wait for him here. " As he spoke, he handed Old Man Wang a box of cigarettes and asked in a very intimate tone, "How's the business? How much can you earn a day?"

Old Man Wang smoked and told Ning Peng that his family was in the Old Dragon Bay Village not far from the Yellow River Stone Forest. For generations, his family made a living by farming, and he had lived on this piece of land for hundreds of years.

Later on, the scenic area was built. When he saw that there was profit to be gained, he made a donkey cart himself and specially pulled those city people who came to the scenic area to travel. They did not make much money in the wind and rain, but it was much better than farming.

"It seems that you still have a bit of an economical mind. " Ning Peng smiled and praised at the right time. He asked again, " Is that Elder Zheng your leader?"

"What leader? What leader?" Seeing that the other party had mentioned Old Man Zheng, Old Man Wang actually cursed angrily," He's the village chief of Old Dragon Bay Village. He took up a piece of land here and started a farm. He specializes in cheating and harming people. "

Ning Peng sighed inwardly when he saw Old Man Wang reveal Old Man Zheng's background. It really was as he had expected. Then, he asked, "He's the village chief. Is he going to give you some money every month?"

Ning Peng knew that the Yellow River Stone Forest scenic area was in Old Dragon Bay Village's territory. The two levels of government in the city attached great importance to it and invested a lot of money into the development. Now, it had become a national AAAA tourist attraction. It was said that the annual income of tickets was very high.

"Money? If you don't charge us instead, then thank the heavens and earth. " When it came to money, Old Man Wang became even angrier. "In the past, no one cared about these donkey carts, and they each earned their own money. "

"Later on, Old Man Zheng became the village chief. He said he wanted to unify the management, so he asked us to pay the management fee of 150 yuan to the village committee every month. Whoever doesn't pay will not be allowed to drive a donkey cart here. It's very fierce.

Seeing that Old Man Wang was so angry, Ning Peng wanted to add fuel to the fire and get more information about Elder Zheng. However, he heard Fan Wenchun urging him, "CEO Ning, are you going to meet Elder Zheng?"

Ning Peng turned around and gave him a look. He smiled and said loudly, "Don't worry, wait a little longer. Elder Zheng will be here soon. At that time, Director Fan will be here too. " Then, he added, "I'll chat with this old man for a while. "

Seeing Ning Peng's mysterious look, Fan Wenchun seemed to have understood something. He stopped asking and walked to Fan Xuehua and asked in a low voice, "Just now, what did Ning Peng ask you to do?"

"He asked me to call the police. " At this moment, Fan Xuehua vaguely understood what Ning Peng meant. He was deeply suspicious of Elder Zheng's words. He lowered his voice and said, "Auntie, the police will be here in a while. "

Fan Wenchun finally understood. He thought to himself, Ning Peng has been in society before. He has more experience in the underworld than us. If it were Fan Xuehua and I, we would have foolishly followed this old man in.

On the other side, just as Old Man Wang was telling Ning Peng some interesting stories in the village, his phone suddenly rang. When he picked up the call, his tone immediately became very humble as he said, "Village Chief Zheng, you're looking for me?"

Old Man Wang was holding a phone specially designed for elderly people. Although it didn't appear to be very popular and ugly, its voice was very loud. Every word that Elder Zheng said was clearly heard by Ning Peng.

"Old Man Wang, you f * cking thing, why haven't you brought those people in yet? If you don't come, I'll break your legs. "

"I'll be right there, I'll be right there. " Seeing the village chief's malicious words, Old Man Wang was so frightened that his face turned pale. He hurriedly explained while stuttering," Just now, they were pissing their pants. "

After listening to Old Man Zheng's words, which were filled with a strong threat, and seeing Old Man Wang so subservient, Ning Peng felt very upset. He thought to himself that once these poor people had power and money, they would be extremely arrogant. He didn't know how many times more domineering and domineering they were than the Emperor.

After picking up the phone call from Village Chief Zheng, Old Man Wang couldn't help but sigh. He smiled bitterly and said to Ning Peng, "Boss, you heard it all. This Elder Zheng is indeed a tyrant here. No one dares to offend him. "

Seeing the understanding smile on the other party's face, he said in a fawning manner, "Boss, just be my donkey and leave. " Then, he raised his head to look at the cloudy sky and muttered to himself, "The weather looks like it's going to snow. "

"Old Man Wang, you should go find someone else. " Seeing this, Ning Peng could not bear to make things difficult for this pitiful person who earned money by driving donkey carts all year round. He said honestly, "We don't want to enter the ditch anymore. "

Old Man Wang was shocked and hurriedly said, "You're not going? Really?" Seeing Ning Peng nod his head, he said helplessly, "Then what should I do if Elder Zheng wants someone from me?"

Just as he was sighing about his own life, two police cars drove into the scenic area. Five or six fully armed policemen jumped down and rushed over. Old Man Wang was shocked and could not come back to his senses for a long time.

Ning Peng quickly went up to them. He briefly explained the situation to the leader of the police officers who looked like a leader. Finally, he pointed at Old Man Wang and said, "This old man knows where Elder Zheng lives. "

Later, Ning Peng found out that the leading police officer was Cai Baozhong, the captain of the West Jing Special Police Brigade. He was the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Da An County Public Security Bureau, Yang Hong Yuan. They were classmates and had a good relationship.

After receiving Fan Xuehua's call to the police, Cai Baozhong brought his men and drove towards the Yellow River Stone Forest scenic area as fast as lightning. The police situation was an order, and it couldn't be delayed for even a second.

After hearing Ning Peng's words, Cai Baozhong's face darkened. He ordered two policemen to bring Old Man Wang into the first police car. Then, he sat in the second police car with Ning Peng and the other two, and they drove quickly towards Old Man Zheng's residence.

At that moment, the weather became even darker and the cold wind became even stronger. It let out terrifying whistling sounds as it passed through the deep canyon and rushed into the distance. It seemed like it was really as Old Man Wang had said, it was going to snow.
