Ye Ming knew that Gong Pengju was well-informed and must have known that he had arrived in Hongmai Town in some way, so he replied calmly: "I am Ye Ming, when will we exchange hostages?"
Gong Pengju thought for a while and said: "Tomorrow afternoon! You have a night's rest first and arrive at Meilan Town before noon tomorrow. I will contact you again then to tell you the specific exchange method and location."
Ye Ming said "hmm" and asked: "Mr. Gong, your people told me last time that I can only bring two people at most when exchanging hostages. This is a bit unfair! The hostage exchange location must be yours.
In your sphere of influence, your numbers are overwhelming. If there are only three of us here, if you break your promise and don't exchange little Benben to us, and detain the three of us, wouldn't it be too unfair for us?"
Gong Pengju sneered and said: "Ye, don't worry, the people in our society are more trustworthy and loyal than you officials, and they don't know how to use tricks up their sleeves - to do something behind the scenes in front of you.
You won't break your promise easily, and you will definitely do what you promised."
At this point, he paused for a moment and then said in a sarcastic tone: "You are a dignified county party committee secretary, but you don't even have some basic analysis and judgment skills? Our people have told you a long time ago: This time we kidnap your baby
My son's purpose is to seek wealth and officialdom, and to help Vice Governor Ding become Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee.
position, I want to obtain the mining rights of the Jigongling Lead-Zinc Mine, not at the expense of your and your son’s lives. For your father, Lu Zhiyao, you and your son are his darlings, no matter which piece is cut off
He can't even bear the meat, so there's no need for us to detain both of you here.
"Secondly, you can think about it from another angle: Our group and your father and son are now evenly matched and restricting each other. You have hostages in our hands, but we also have hostages in your hands. In a certain sense
It said, Ding
The deputy governor is the hostage you are holding, because he is now under surveillance and restricted from leaving the country. You, Lu Zhiyao, can send him to prison at any time, or even instruct people to kill him silently. This
One thing we know very well.
"Since we are wary of each other, what do you have to worry about? Your father is still the secretary of the Tianjiang Provincial Party Committee. If we really detain you and don't release your son, he will definitely be furious. By then, not only
Our goal of seeking wealth and officialdom has not been achieved, and Vice Governor Ding is still worried about his life. Such a dead end is not what we want, right?"
Ye Ming thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll bring three people over and add one more, so that'll be all right!"
Gong Pengju was silent for a moment and said: "Okay, then you can bring three people over. But I also want to advise you: you'd better not use any tricks when exchanging hostages. I know that you are very strong in martial arts, and the people you bring here must also be
Extraordinary skills, but you have to think clearly: I have more than two hundred men
Most of the top experts are retired special forces and mercenaries who have experienced many battles, and they are all fully armed. If you want to take your son back with the strength of three people, that is wishful thinking, and will kill you and your son.
My life. That’s all I have to say, you should weigh it yourself!”
The next morning, Ye Ming called the members of the inspection team over and told them: Gong Pengju, the chairman of Honghua Mining Company, invited him to visit his mine and inspect the strength of their company. Because Gong Pengju only invited him there.
, so other members of the inspection team can only stay
Waiting in Hongmai Town. This visit to Honghua Company is very important. It is related to the ownership of the mining rights of Jigongling Lead-Zinc Mine, so I may stay there for a few more days. If I don’t return within five days,
Come to Hongmai Town, please don’t wait any longer. The deputy county magistrate will lead the team back to Beishan...
After arranging the inspection group, Ye Ming explained to Shi Xin alone, saying that he would take Wu Xiaofeng and a few others to Gong Pengju's place to have a look. He might stay for a few more days. He just asked him to arrange other members of the inspection group. No.
Leave him alone.
Shi Xin was puzzled, but he didn't know what to ask, so he nodded in agreement.
At eleven o'clock sharp, Ye Ming asked Shi Xin to arrange two cars to take him, Wu Xiaofeng and others to the entrance of Liu Zihao's casino in Meilan Town.
Liu Zihao had already received a call from Fu Mengzi and had been waiting at the door for a while. When Ye Ming got off the car, he immediately came up to him with a smile on his face, bowed his hands to Ye Ming respectfully, and kept saying:
: "Secretary Ye, I have admired you for a long time!"
Ye Ming returned the favor and introduced Wu Xiaofeng, Ou Gaochu and Su Liqun to him.
Later, Liu Zihao took Ye Ming and others into the casino to drink tea.
Because everyone present was an insider and a trusted brother and friend, Ye Ming told Liu Zihao about the hostage exchange with Gong Pengju and asked him if he could send him safely after replacing Xiao Benben.
Return to China?
Liu Zihao hurriedly said: "Secretary Ye, Ah Fu has already told me what happened to you. Logically speaking, you are Brother Chao's brother. Now that you have arrived in Meilan Town, I should come forward to settle this matter for you. However, between you,
The grievances between us are too complicated, and
It involves a struggle between high-ranking officials, and Gong Pengju is Sun Zhicheng's subordinate. He also has a team of two hundred killers. I can't handle this matter with my ability. Even my words have no weight. Please understand and considerate, Secretary Ye.
.
"However, I can guarantee you one thing: if your hostage exchange goes smoothly and the exchanged child reaches Meilan Town and my casino, he will have entered the safe and no one will dare to hurt him again. Although Gong Pengju
He is powerful, but in this town of Meilan, he still has to buy some face from me.
, at least I don’t dare to send people to my casino to cause trouble and kill people. As for sending the children back to the country, that’s even more no problem. I will arrange for capable people to send the children to the border port, and bring them back by Brother Fu and others.
Go to China. If something goes wrong after the child is in my hands, I will come to see you!"
Ye Ming was most worried about Xiao Benben's safety after he was detained. Hearing Liu Zihao's words, he couldn't help but feel relieved. He quickly stood up and bowed to him, then turned to Wu Xiaofeng and said: "Senior Brother
, I invite you, Brother Ou, and Brother Su to come here this time. The main purpose is to ensure the safety of little Benben. Now Liu Da
Brother has promised to arrange for someone to escort Xiao Benben back to China. The three of you will come with me to exchange hostages later. Your task is to take Xiao Benben back to Meilan Town immediately after the hostage exchange is completed and make arrangements with Brother Liu.
