The bakery owner thought about it and said, "About five minutes."
"Thanks." said Kerry. Before he could reach the door, the bakery owner called out, "Please wait a
minute."
Kerry thought the bakery owner had some news for him, but he said, "Please pay for the bread."
"Why should I pay? I didn't buy it." Kerry asked, puzzled.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "The man left without paying the bill. He said that if you didn't come
to him, he would use his cell phone to pay the bill. If you come back and take the phone, you will pay
for it."
Kerry really wanted to yell at him, but thought that the bread he bought was probably for Pingan, so he
paid the bill very quickly.
Kerry didn't know whether Gavin had heard something wrong from Tingyu Zhao's words or witnessed
him being chased.
"Where can Gavin hide in five minutes?" Kerry thought.
Kerry walked slowly in the direction the bakery owner had told him to go. Then the phone in his pocket
rang, not his but Gavin's. It was an unfamiliar phone number on the screen, and Kerry answered it.
When the call came through, neither of them spoke. They could hear each other on the phone over the
loud sounds of cars and people.
Ten seconds later, Gavin's familiar voice came over. "Kerry?"
"It's me." Kerry's eyes searched the street quickly, "What do you want from me?"
"You give me fifty million dollars, and a helicopter, and I'll let your son go."
"Okay, I promise you." Kerry didn't hesitate and agreed.
Even if Gavin had extorted 500 million from him, he would have agreed. If the money were gone, he
can earn it back. If he lost his son, he would suffer for the rest of his life.
“You agreed so readily." Gavin said sarcastically. “It seems the money I ask for is too little for you.”
"Stop talking so much nonsense. Do you want a transfer or cash? Where do we meet?"
"At 5:00 p.m., I'll meet you at the beach. I want cash. I hope the money will be put into the helicopter."
"I'll be there on time. I hope you'll keep your promise." Kerry said.
"Of course, I'm a businessman." said Gavin.
Then Kerry cursed him in his mind.
"You get me on the phone with Pingan. I want to make sure he's alive," Kerry said.
There was a moment's pause and then Gavin said, "He's asleep."
"Dam it, what did you do to him?" Kerry was roaring down the street, causing passers-by to look at him.
"Kerry, if you want to save your son, this is your only chance. If you don't believe he's alive, then you
don't have to come at five o'clock this afternoon." With that, Gavin hung up the phone.
Gavin originally wanted to take Pingan away from here, but he couldn't do that under the
circumstances. After much thought, he didn't want to put himself in danger because of Kerry's son.
Even if it was for revenge, the price was not worth it, so he planned to blackmail Kerry for a certain
amount of money and then left, looking for a better opportunity to get back at Kerry later.
Kerry looked at the phone and slammed it down on the floor in anger.
It was now two o'clock in the afternoon, three hours before the appointed time. That was enough time
for him to make all the arrangements. This time he must let Gavin pay for what he had done to Pingan.
Then he called the bank manager. The bank manager was shocked and said, "Mr. Yeh, we don't have
this much cash in our coffers."
"That's you thing. You figure it out right away. I'll be over in an hour to pick up the money." Kerry said,
and hung up the call.
Afterwards, he called Tianye and told him about it. The two agreed to meet at the bank and go to the
beach together.
After arranging for a private helicopter, Kerry drove to the agreed bank.
The bank manager saw him in person and invited him into his office. "Mr. Ye, please wait a moment.
The cash will be ready soon."
"Didn't you just say you didn't have so much cash?" Kerry mocked.
The bank manager laughed apologetically, "We just had an emergency transfer from another branch."
In fact, he was afraid to offend Kerry, the bank's VIP customer, so the bank manger asked help from
other banks.
"There's one more thing I'm going to ask you to help me with," Kerry said, then leaned close to him and
whispered in his ear.
After hearing Kerry's words, the manager's expression was complicated, and then he said, "Mr. Ye, is
this appropriate?"
With a straight face, Kerry said seriously, "Just do it. Don't ask any other questions. By the way, have
the bank's cash truck deliver the money to the beach for me. I can't fit that much cash in my car."
"That's no problem." The manager said respectfully.
