Seeing the Internet phone number on the screen, Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but feel nervous.

He ignored the low temperature in the house, hurriedly threw down his sleeping bag and ran out of the kitchen with his cell phone.

The ringtone echoed unscrupulously in the open corridor, like a death-hunting sound.

Dong Qiangqiang yelled while slamming the door: "Du Lan! Wake up! Old Chen is calling again! Call the police quickly."

After more than ten seconds, Du Lan replied in the house: "Okay, I'll fight now."

Dong Qiangqiang walked back to the kitchen again, took the paper and pen and put it at his hand, took a deep breath, and slapped his face twice with his palms. While answering the phone, he pressed the hands-free button.

"Why did you take the phone call so long?" Old Chen cursed dissatisfied, "Where are you now?"

"At home." Dong Qiangqiang didn't react to the other party's problems for a moment.

"Which city should I ask?" Old Chen was speechless when Dong Qiangqiang was angry.

"Oh, Hannover."

"You are now going to the information consultation desk in the lobby of Hamburg Railway Station. I will contact you again when I arrive. Remember to bring your money and things." Old Chen spoke very quickly, and he hung up the phone before Dong Qiangqiang asked anything.

The watch next to the phone showed that the entire call time was less than half a minute. Dong Qiangqiang sighed. It seemed that it was impossible for the Germans to catch up with the source of the call.

"What did he say?" Du Lan stood behind Dong Qiangqiang at some point, "The police said your call time was too short and I couldn't check it."

"He asked me to bring my money and things to the information desk at Hamburg Railway Station now, and he will contact me again when he said that."

"Hamburg Railway Station?" Du Lan murmured to himself, "But how did he know when you will arrive? Could it be that he is already waiting for you?"

"He didn't mention the transfer, it should be a face-to-face transaction." Dong Qiangqiang recalled as he looked at the words on the paper, "But I always feel that he is not in the hamburger."

"Do you think he would run away by plane after taking the money?" Du Lan guessed, "When the plane starts to taxi, I will tell you where Lao Bai is locked up."

"Definitely not." Dong Qiangqiang said confidently, "Otherwise, if we call the police, he will be caught as soon as he gets off the plane. He will definitely get all the stolen people. He is not that stupid. And he may not even be able to get on the plane with so much money."

"What are you going to do now? Go to the burger right away?"

"Yes." Dong Qiangqiang raised his head, his eyes shining with a firm light, "You can wait for me here or go back to Munich."

"You have done a lot for him," Du Lan's voice was so slight, "You can actually not go."

Dong Qiangqiang looked at her meaningfully, sat on the chair silently, looked at the phone on the table and posted it for a while, and finally plucked up the courage to say, "There is something I have never told you. After my ex-girlfriend went to New York, she encountered great troubles in her study and life, but I did nothing when she needed help the most. Do you understand? I did nothing, and then...and she disappeared." At this time, Dong Qiangqiang had no intention of concealing his true thoughts at all, and wanted to say all the unwillingness and unhappiness accumulated in her heart over the past few months.

Du Lan heard Dong Qiangqiang talk about his ex-girlfriend for the first time, but what he heard was bad news. He didn't know whether to be happy or worried. But she was more skilled in human relationships than Dong Qiangqiang, and she already knew how to express her opinion in a millisecond. "This matter started because of me, I will go with you, otherwise I would not feel at ease if I stayed here alone."

Dong Qiangqiang refused, but when he saw Du Lan's decisive gaze, he knew that she was serious and could only nod and agree: "You can go, but then you must obey my command and cannot act without authorization."

"I can." Seeing Dong Qiangqiang agree, Du Lan felt happy, "Then I will call the police now and pack up the things. Oh, by the way, there is an ATM machine at Hamburg Railway Station, so we just need to bring an empty suitcase."

There was no one on the train late at night. Because of the snow, there was neither starlight nor darkness outside the window. The white earth was really clean. The regular bumps caused by the collision between the carriages and the tracks made Du Lan, who was already in absent-minded, leaned against Dong Qiangqiang's shoulder and fell asleep deeply.

The drive from Hannover to Hamburg is only an hour and a half. Although there is snow, German trains are rare to be delayed. Because Dong Qiangqiang set out early, when the train entered Hamburg Railway Station, it was not yet dawn. Dong Qiangqiang took out a mark worth 500,000 yuan from different ATMs, plus the 200,000 yuan in Du Lan's domestic account, and raised about 700,000 yuan. Although he didn't even get half of the price asked by Lao Chen, it was already the limit for Dong Qiangqiang and others.

In fact, there was a 250,000 mark transferred by Duanmu to him in order to register an investment company. Dong Qiangqiang stood in front of the ATM and hesitated for a long time, but he still didn't withdraw it.

Although Dong and Du were ready soon, because it happened to be Christmas and it was too early in the morning, the coordination between the Munich police and the Hamburg police was not in place for a long time, so Dong Qiangqiang and Du Lan did not dare to act rashly. In addition, there were very few passengers in the waiting hall of Hamburg Railway Station. They were afraid that Old Chen would see them, so they could only go to the roadside cafe outside the railway station and wait patiently for the police's instructions.

After the police finally arranged the manpower and monitored Dong Qiangqiang's mobile phone, it was almost noon. After obtaining the police's consent, Dong Qiangqiang walked towards the information desk with his suitcase nervously.

He stopped in front of the information desk for a few minutes, hesitating whether to consult the information desk staff, but the cell phone in his pocket rang restlessly.

Seeing another long list of numbers, Dong Qiangqiang's heart suddenly raised. Could it be that Old Chen was hiding in the dark to monitor himself? He couldn't help but look around, but there was no Lao Chen's figure in his eyes. He could only connect to his cell phone: "I've arrived at Hamburg Railway Station. Where are you? Where are Lao Bai?"

"Why are you late?" Old Chen said with accusations and suspicion, "Have you called the police?"

"I didn't call the police. A section of the road was buried by heavy snow. The Germans delayed a lot of time to clear the snow. In addition, each bank has a limit on withdrawing cash every day. I went to several banks to finish the withdrawal, which took some time." These two reasons were excuses set by Dong Qiangqiang and Du Lan after careful consideration. The logic was reasonable and both were force majeure. Even if Old Chen suspected, he couldn't make any decision. After all, he was appointed to let Dong Qiangqiang come to the hamburger transaction.

"You can buy a train ticket to Stockholm Central Railway Station now. I will contact you again when you arrive at the information desk there."

"Stockholm?" Dong Qiangqiang was stunned. He knew that it was the capital of Sweden. "But it took almost a day to take the train from Hamburg?" He instinctively did not want to leave Germany.

"Don't be late." The phone stopped as usual, without any delay.

Dong Qiangqiang didn't expect that Lao Chen would choose to trade somewhere in Hamburg, or even the small towns around Hamburg, but he didn't expect that the other party would beat him to Sweden in one go. Although Sweden is also within the EU, it's okay for him to go there with his passport and German visa, he has to count on the Swedish police after leaving Germany. Although taking a train can help him get nearly a day, he has no idea how long it will take for the German police to coordinate with the Swedish police. He guessed that Lao Chen must have thought of this and chose the transaction location in a non-German country.

The phone rang again, but Du Lan called: "The police asked you to call and tell them what you were talking about just now."

"He asked me to go to Stockholm Railway Station now, and I'll talk about it after that."

"Go to Sweden? Not in Germany?" Du Lan said in a panic, "Then the German police can't control it."

"Yes, he must be worried that we will call the police and ask for this." Dong Qiangqiang immediately thought of another point, "He was afraid that I would take a plane to Sweden and specially reminded me to take the train. He was also worried that it would be difficult for me to take so much money to go through the airport security check, and there was no security check at the train station."

"Save these words on the train for a while. Should you buy a ticket?" Du Lan whispered, "If you go, I will go too. We can't separate. Besides, the two of us can still take care of each other."

"Du Lan, we don't need both of us to go. It's more convenient for me to act alone when I see the situation. If I don't know the situation, I can run away." Dong Qiangqiang advised earnestly, "I hope you can stay, so that if I need any help there, I'll call you."

"Only when I'm by your side can I give you the greatest help." Du Lan smiled, "just like you did to me at that time."
