"I want to hear her voice, please, let hear her voice!"
The kidnapper just laughed on the other side: "What’s the rush? When you’re ready with the cash, I’ll let you say a word to her."
"No!" Yu Zexiao seed to beco adept on his own, "If you don’t let hear Anning’s voice, how do I know if you’re telling the truth or lying? What if you’re trying to scam out of money?"
The person on the other side chuckled and then, after a long while, responded: "Alright."
Then, there was so static on the phone, and when he listened again, Jian Anning’s voice ca through the phone from the other side.
"Zexiao."
Hearing that familiar voice, Yu Zexiao nearly burst into tears!
It’s her, it’s her, it’s really her! Only she, only she can give him this dreamy feeling! It was at the mont he heard her voice that Yu Zexiao realized this.
Whether she was the girl playing music ten years ago, or the woman who took his first love three years ago, Jian Anning was always his most important, lifelong love!
"An, Anning, are you alright? Where are you?"
"I’m okay." Jian Anning’s voice was a bit weak, seemingly trembling, but she still sounded fairly spirited. Perhaps the kidnapper beside her knew that speaking in Chinese could reveal the location, and instructed her: "In English!"
She took a while before saying, "I’m temporarily safe. It’s just I was in the car for a long ti, it’s very cold, and I feel a bit, a bit short of oxygen."
"Shut up!" Soone beside her cursed her in Italian, and Jian Anning continued, "Zexiao, I want to hear you play the violin again, your violin is as grand and magnificent as the Habsburg Dynasty (which ruled Austria for centuries)."
Yu Zexiao’s eyes were wet, suddenly reminded of the girl from ten years ago, never expecting it to be Jian Anning in front of him!
"Do you rember, in May you took to the music festival, you said, I am like on the fingerboard of the violin..."
Yu Zexiao listened in confusion, quickly interrupted as the kidnapper beside him grabbed the phone: "Confird it’s her, right? If it’s confird, hurry up with the ransom!"
After saying this, the kidnapper hung up the phone.
Yu Zexiao and the few others in the room looked at each other, as the police tried to trace the call, but the other side seed prepared, having set up counter-tracing, making it impossible to find out where the call was made!
Amidst the frustration, Yu Zexiao suddenly seed to have a flash of inspiration!
"I know where Anning is!"
Beside him, Master John Gruber also nodded, "I think I know too."
The whole room was surprised, but Yu Zexiao said, "She’s in Innsbruck (located west of Salzburg, bordering Germany and Italy)!"
Master John Gruber also nodded, indeed!
"Why there?" the police also began to ask. Yu Zexiao explained, "Anning said she’s been in a car for a long ti, it’s been about three hours since she disappeared, she’s been riding continuously, deducing distance from the driving ti. Plus, she’s cold and short of breath, clearly, she’s on a mountain! And it’s a tall mountain! Naturally, this is the Alps! And the Austrian music festival in May, only Innsbruck has it!"
