A few minutes later, the masked kidnapper sent another video chat request. After Ye Ming clicked the accept button, the kidnapper said: "I have just reported your request to replace the hostage to our boss. The boss said it is okay, but he made a few suggestions.
Conditions: First, you must arrive at Meilan Town at the junction of Nova State and Xinguo State within ten days. After ten days, our people will take your son and wait for you in Meilan Town. If you expire, we will not wait;
"Second, at most three of you can go to Meilan Town to exchange hostages. We will monitor you in advance. Once we find that there are more than three of you, or you are ambushing people and preparing to rob people, we will immediately execute your son.
;
"Third, you must not ask the police for help. If you and I mobilize special police or armed police to carry out the so-called 'transnational rescue operation' in the country, we will definitely know it as soon as possible. Not only will we not be able to save your son, but we will also
It may cause other serious consequences, so I hope you and I will act with caution;
"Fourth, our boss said that the purpose of kidnapping your son this time is to seek wealth and to seek an official position. To seek wealth, we want to obtain the mining rights of Jigongling Lead-Zinc Mine; to seek official position, we want to
Vice Governor Ding, step up to the next level. We don't want anyone's life, nor do we want to fight to the death with you, causing both sides to lose.
"You can rest assured: during the hostage exchange process, we promise not to harm you and your son, and as long as you meet our requirements for money and officialdom, you will not be subjected to any abuse while you are a hostage. After we obtain the mining rights,
After Vice Governor Ding becomes deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, we will send you back to Tianjiang Province unscathed."
Ye Ming thought for a moment and replied: "Okay, I will do as you ask. I will arrive at the place you selected on time in ten days. I hope you will keep your word."
After the video chat ended, Ye Ming repeated the kidnapper's request to Secretary Lu and asked him what he thought.
Secretary Lu sighed heavily and said: "Xiao Ming, once you replace Xiao Benben and become a hostage, there is only one choice for me: compromise with the Ding Tiansheng Group and sell the mining rights of Jigongling Lead-Zinc Mine.
Give it to them and help Ding Tiansheng be promoted to Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. Only when these two conditions are met, can you escape safely from those kidnappers——"
Ye Ming interrupted him anxiously and said: "Dad, you must not compromise with them! First of all, you have been honest and honest all your life, hate evil like hatred, have been fighting against corrupt elements, and have been upholding fairness and justice. If you do it for your son and
Grandson, selling the Jigongling lead-zinc mine to a corrupt group and assisting a corrupt person in his promotion will make you live in guilt and self-blame for the rest of your life. I don't want you to experience this kind of inner pain;
"Secondly, Ding Tiansheng and his gang are greedy and sinful. Their problems will break out sooner or later. Even if you don't investigate and deal with them, under the current high-pressure anti-corruption situation, I estimate that they will be completely destroyed in two or three years at most. If you now
If you meet their demands and their crimes are exposed to the world, you will become their accomplice. Not only will your political future be ended, but you will also be sentenced to prison. I don't want you to spend your later years in prison."
Secretary Lu smiled bitterly and asked: "You said I can't compromise with Ding Tiansheng and the others, so what else can I do? Do I have to wait until their conscience finds out?"
Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "Dad, my idea is this: I will go back now and immediately arrange for the Beishan County Government to start the auction of the mining rights of Jigongling Lead-Zinc Mine, allow Honghua Mining Company to participate in the bidding, and ask
Gong Pengju, the chairman of the company, personally came to negotiate with the county government on relevant matters. I estimate that Gong Pengju believed that he had a hostage in hand and expected that we would not dare to do anything to him, so he agreed to this request.
"When Gong Pengju returned to China, I immediately rushed to the country of Si to exchange hostages. Once Xiao Benben was safely exchanged and left the country, you immediately took action to arrest Gong Pengju. According to my analysis, Gong Pengju is Ding Tiansheng, Wei Jiehe, etc.
people implement a series
List of key figures in the murders, the killers from Southeast Asia may have been invited by him, and he may also be the backbone of Ding Tiansheng's interest group. Once he is captured and explains the problem, the end of Ding Tiansheng and others will come -
—”
Secretary Lu immediately interrupted: "What about you? What should you do? Once we arrest Gong Pengju, they will kill you immediately!"
Ye Ming was silent for a moment, and a look of determination gradually appeared in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, you don't have to think about my safety. I caused these things, and I should bear the consequences. As long as
Little Benben is safe, and you have successfully entered the highest decision-making level to realize your ideals and ambitions. I will die without regrets!"
Secretary Lu looked at him steadily, tears gradually filling his eyes, and his lips were trembling. After a long time, he said in a reproachful tone: "Xiao Ming, if you die, what's the point of me entering the highest decision-making level?
What other ideals and ambitions can be realized? Also, you decided so rashly
Go to death, have you thought about the feelings of Chu Chu, Chen Yi, and Chen Mengqi? Leaving aside Chu Chu and Chen Yi, I know that girl Chen Mengqi best. I heard from your sister that the last time you were trapped in the mine, Chen Mengqi wanted to commit suicide.
. If you were really killed by gangsters, would she still be able to survive?
"Also, Xiao Benben and Xiao Jingjing are still so young, and Chu Chu is also pregnant. If you die, they will become children without a father. Have you considered their future? Besides, you are now a county party committee member.
Secretary, he has a special status. Once he is killed by those gangsters abroad, he will definitely
It will become sensational news, and it will definitely alarm the central government. Once the central government sets up a special task force to investigate the truth about your murder, my problem will still be implicated, and I will still not be able to enter the decision-making level, and it is very likely to be investigated and dealt with. In this way
If so, what’s the point of your sacrifice?”
At this point, he waved his hand and said in a decisive tone: "I have thought it over carefully: you exchange hostages first and rescue Xiao Benben, and then I will instruct the Beishan County Government to follow the requirements of the Ding Tiansheng Group."
The mining rights of the Jigongling lead-zinc mine were transferred to Honghua Company, and they recommended Ding Tiansheng to the central government to take over as deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, meet all their conditions, and ask them to release you.
"At that time, Ding Tiansheng thought he had grasped my weakness. In order to preserve my political future, I could only continue to compromise with them and not dare to do anything to them. Moreover, they would also wish to hold me hostage and continue to help them.
, so I will definitely fulfill my promise to release you. Once you are released
Let go, I will immediately go to Chief No. 1 and Chief No. 5, confess my relationship with you to them, expose the crimes of Ding Tiansheng and others, and explain the situation that I had to compromise with Ding Tiansheng in order to save Xiao Benben and you.
