Driven by Jimmy Chai, the car stopped at a very high place on Victoria Peak Road.
Lei Yaoyang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, glanced at the majestic buildings in front of him and nodded:
"Okay, pull over and let's get down."
Zhan Mizai nodded and immediately parked the car on the side of the road. The two of them immediately got out of the car, presented the gift wine they bought, arranged their clothes, and prepared to go home.
At this moment, the huge iron door of Li Mansion opened a small door, and a man walked out carelessly.
"kindness?"
Lei Yaoyang and Zhan Mizi were both curious and couldn't help but look at that person.
It was a man, about thirty years old, with a handsome face, wearing a bright red suit and sky blue trousers, fashionable and avant-garde.
The way he walks is also very special. His "disregarding relatives" pace makes him look arrogant and arrogant.
The man also noticed Lei Yaoyang and Zhan Mizai. Perhaps seeing them looking at him, the corners of his mouth turned up, giving a disdainful smile, and shouted from afar:
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen Pretty Boy?"
"Holy shit!"
After just a few casual glances, he was yelled at like this. Zhan Mizi became a little angry and shouted:
"Boy, what did you say?"
"What? You want to beat me?"
That man obviously didn't like to suffer losses. He actually greeted Lei Yaoyang and Zhan Mizai and said carelessly.
you!
Zhan Mizi was really angry and would push the other person with his hand.
However, Lei Yaoyang didn't want to "cause more trouble", so he had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he grabbed Zhan Mizi and said:
"never mind."
"Huh! You two know each other."
The man looked at Lei Yaoyang and Zhan Mizai, not knowing what to think. After a word, he said no more and walked down the mountain top road with his arrogant pace.
Zhan Mizi was very dissatisfied. When he saw the man walking more than ten meters away, he immediately whispered:
"Brother Yaoyang, why don't you let me beat that kid?"
"Why beat him? Didn't you see that he came from the Li family? Now that we are going to visit the Li family, we will beat up the people who come from their family first. If they are relatives, there will be a lot of trouble."
Lei Yaoyang explained, then curiously said:
"You usually read financial gossip magazines. That guy is so cool. He should be somewhat famous. Do you know him?"
Zhan Mizi frowned slightly, thought about it carefully, and replied:
"Never seen it before."
"Forget it, let's go."
Lei Yaoyang nodded to express his understanding, and did not dwell too much on the matter, and took the lead towards the gate of Li's Mansion.
Bang!
As he approached, Lei Yaoyang knocked on the door himself.
It didn't even take ten seconds. The small door of the big iron door, which was limited to one person's entry and exit, opened, and a guy wearing a white shirt and black trousers, who was obviously a servant, poked his head out.
The servant was in his fifties, with thinning hair and sweat. I don't know if it was because he heard the knock on the door and rushed over.
He first looked at Lei Yaoyang and Zhan Mizai, his eyes full of scrutiny and vigilance. He had no intention of opening the door, but just asked:
"Who are you looking for?"
It is indeed Li Huanggua's home, and every servant is so careful in everything he does.
Lei Yaoyang secretly praised him and said with a smile:
"We are your eldest son's partner. We haven't seen him for a few days and we can't find him on the phone, so we came to visit him."
"Partner?"
The servant looked at Lei Yaoyang and Zhan Mizi again, and his tone became much better:
"I'm sorry, you two, but our eldest son is not at home. If you want to find him, please come back in a few days."
After saying that, the servant actually planned to close the door.
"Wait a minute!"
Lei Yaoyang stretched out his big hand and directly pressed the small iron door to be closed. He frowned slightly and began to realize that something was wrong:
"I'm just a servant, how dare you do this?"
Li Bencheng is not a good person, but how could his servants be so unruly? He came to see their master. Even if he is not here, the servants should not react like this.
Judging from his anxious look, it seemed as if he was afraid of entering the house.
With doubts in his heart, Lei Yaoyang remained calm and said:
"Then can you tell me when your eldest son will come back? Our company now has a very urgent business that we need to discuss with him. It will take a few days too long. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time."
"this……."
Perhaps the word "business" is really sensitive to people in the Li family, even just a servant.
There was a trace of hesitation on the old servant's face, and he glanced at Lei Yaoyang and Zhan Mizi again before saying:
"Okay, then you wait a minute, I will inform the master and see what the master says."
"By the way, what are your names?"
"My name is Lei Yaoyang and his name is Zhan Mi."
Bang!
As soon as the introduction was finished, the old servant immediately closed the small iron door, making Zhan Mizi almost stare out of his eyes.
Jimmy Chai has been in business for more than ten years. Even when he was a hawker in Mong Kok, he was rarely treated like this.
Today, I have Lei Yaoyang by my side. A mere servant dares to be so rude. Zhan Mizai is really angry.
In anger, Zhan Mizi didn't even care that this was the doorstep of the richest man's house, and said very unhappy:
"Fuck, this air is too big. Isn't the richest man so impressive?"
"If I want to see Jiaju, I must complain to him."
“I really don’t know how their servants are educated.”
Listening to Zhan Mizai's complaints, Lei Yaoyang frowned deeper and whispered:
"See him building tall buildings, watching him entertain guests, and watching him step down from the towers."
"Brother Yaoyang, what do you mean?"
When Zhan Mizi heard this, he immediately stopped talking and also frowned.
"fine!"
Lei Yaoyang shook his head and said again:
"I'm afraid something happened to the Li family."
"Something happened?"
Zhan Mizi was stunned for a moment, then smiled casually and said:
"It's impossible. In Hong Kong Comprehensive Market, who doesn't know the Li family? Who dares to offend them? This is not asking for death."
"not necessarily!"
Lei Yaoyang shook his head and commented:
"The big tree attracts the wind, and the Li family is so famous that many people are staring at them."
"Someone has said that when the profit reaches 10%, people are ready to take action; when the profit reaches 50%, people dare to take risks; when the profit reaches 100%, people dare to trample on the laws of the world; when the profit reaches 300%, people dare to take risks.
, people dare to risk hanging and do anything.”
"If the servant just now was not a fake, I suspect that something happened to the Li family, and it was Jia Ju who was involved."
"this.…"
Zhan Mizi didn't dare to take the initiative now and flatly rejected it.
After all, Li Jiaju's loss of contact is indeed strange and difficult to explain in any case.
Lei Yaoyang and Zhan Mizai stood at the door of Li's Mansion for more than ten minutes before Li's Mansion finally opened again.
The face that appeared this time was very familiar. It was Li Bancheng, the long-term occupier of the "front page headlines" in financial newspapers.
Li Bancheng looks to be in his sixties, with a bald head and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He gives people a "capable and energetic" feeling, which is completely different from the twilight of ordinary elderly people. Instead, he looks more like a man in his thirties who is still in the prime of life.
young people.
However, according to Lei Yaoyang's observation, he had heavy bags under his eyes and dark circles under his eyes, as if he had not slept well for several days.
"Which one of you is Mr. Jimmy?"
After Li Bancheng appeared, he first looked at Lei Yaoyang and Zhan Mi, and then asked.
Upon hearing his question, Zhan Mizi immediately realized that what Lei Yaoyang mentioned before, Li Bancheng had known about him for a long time, was indeed true. He quickly stepped forward, and Zhan Mizi said politely:
"Mr. Li, I am Zhan Mi."
"Hello, I've heard Jiaju talk about you a long time ago, and I also know that you co-founded a company with him, but I've never met him. Well, I didn't expect Mr. Zhan Mi to be so young. He is really young and promising."
Li Bancheng had a smile on his face, stretched out his right hand, and took the initiative to shake hands with Zhan Mi.
"Mr. Li is so generous. The juniors still have a lot to learn!"
Being praised by the richest man, Zhan Mi's mood instantly improved. The servant's rudeness just now was immediately brushed aside and he was humbled again and again.
When Li Bancheng saw this, he immediately got to the point and said:
"I heard from the people below that Mr. Zhan Mi has a very urgent business to discuss with Jia Ju, right?"
"Jiaju has something to do these days and has gone abroad. I don't know what the business is. If you don't mind, I can look after Jiaju and be his boss."
"this"
After hearing Li Bancheng's reply, Mi Zai didn't know what to say next.
Lei Yaoyang, who had been observing Li Bancheng from behind, spoke at the right time and said:
"Did Jiaju go abroad? I don't know where exactly? Mr. Li, what we want to talk about is just a small business. Compared with your business, it's not worth mentioning, so I won't waste your time~"
"Just a phone call and we can have a few words with Jiaju."
"oh?"
Li Bancheng then looked at Lei Yaoyang and saw that this man had eagle eyes and a handsome face. He was tall and burly and very extraordinary. He said curiously:
"Who is this?"
In fact, it's not surprising that Li Bancheng didn't greet Lei Yaoyang after he came out just now.
Because after the servant came in, he just told Li Bancheng that one of Li Jiaju's partners, a young man named "Zhan Mi" came to see Li Jiaju, without even mentioning Lei Yaoyang.
As Li Bancheng said, he really knows who Zhan Mi is.
Knowing that this young man was indeed his eldest son's partner, he immediately came out to meet him.
After coming out, he subconsciously regarded Lei Yaoyang as a "follower" and didn't pay attention to him.
After all, there are actually hidden rules for visiting and signing up:
People with high status can sign up first, people with low status can sign up later, and those who are in the follower class don't need to sign up.
The housekeeper had only mentioned one name before, so Li Bancheng took it for granted that it was only Zhan Mi who came to visit this time.
"Yeah."
Seeing Li Bancheng's reaction, Lei Yaoyang also guessed that the servant probably just said "Zhan Mi Zai", cursed secretly, stretched out his big hand, and said calmly:
"Hello Mr. Li, I am Jiaju's good friend, my name is Lei Yaoyang!"
"Lei Yaoyang!"
Li Bancheng recited the name and found it very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.
At this time, a follower behind Li Bancheng seemed to recognize Lei Yaoyang, took two steps forward, and whispered something in Li Bancheng's ear.
The next moment, Li Bancheng stretched out his right hand, held it with Lei Yaoyang's big hand, and laughed:
"Hahaha, look at my surname, even the hero of our Hong Kong Comprehensive Market and the world's God of Gamblers didn't recognize me."
"Mr. Lei, I have heard of your name a few years ago, and I have also seen Mr. Lei's wonderful performance on TV. I just didn't expect that Mr. Lei is so much more handsome in person than on TV. He is old and has poor eyesight.
, I didn’t recognize it the first time, I hope Mr. Lei doesn’t mind.”
Li Bancheng spoke very politely, especially as he is the richest man, which will undoubtedly make people feel that he is full of face.
If he hadn't known what kind of creature the person in front of him was, Lei Yaoyang would have almost believed it.
"No wonder Li Bancheng has a good reputation outside in this era. If this is his philosophy of speaking to others, it is impossible for him to be bad."
Lei Yaoyang pondered secretly in his heart, but remained calm on the surface, showing no emotion or anger, and said calmly:
"Mr. Li, you're too polite. The god of gambling in the world is just luck, not as good as Mr. Li's real talent."
"Now that Mr. Li has confirmed my and Zhanmi's identities, I wonder if he can safely tell us Jiaju's whereabouts and phone number?"
"!"
Li Bancheng probably didn't expect Lei Yaoyang to be so direct. He didn't reply immediately. He seemed to be thinking about how to reply.
Lei Yaoyang saw this and increased his strength, pressing forward step by step:
"Mr. Li, since you know me, you should know that in addition to being a gambling god, I am also a Hong Kong policeman.
"And I ask myself, I am a good policeman."
"Honestly, did something happen to Jiaju?"
When Li Bancheng said the word "something happened", his face changed drastically, his smile faded, he looked at Lei Yaoyang seriously, his attitude became a bit stronger, and he denied:
"Of course not. Didn't I tell you that Jiaju went abroad? I talked to him on the phone last night and nothing happened."
Lei Yaoyang's eagle eyes were sharp, and he stared closely at Li Bancheng's eyes. He saw a touch of regret in them, and he could also clearly feel that Li Bancheng's words were somewhat insincere. Nodding slightly, Lei Yaoyang said calmly:
"As long as it's okay, since it's okay, let's call."
Li Bancheng said seriously:
"Mr. Lei, to be honest, Jiaju went abroad to handle a big event for our Li family. This matter involves commercial secrets. I forgive me for not telling Mr. Lei clearly. When Jiaju comes back, I will let him know for the first time.
Call Mr. Lei as soon as possible."
After saying that, Li Bancheng looked at Lei Yaoyang and Zhan Mi sincerely, his meaning was obvious, he was ready to see off the guests.
this…!
We have already talked about it for this reason, and it is difficult to deal with people clearly stating "commercial secrets".
At least from what Zhan Mizai heard, he shouldn't force things, he should just leave.
With this in mind, Zhan Mizi reminded in a low voice:
"Brother Yaoyang, then we."
Lei Yaoyang's stern face suddenly became as bright as a spring flower, with a smile:
"Well, since Mr. Li has said so, let's take our leave first."
"That's great."
When Li Bancheng heard this, he almost opened his mouth to say this, but the next second, he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, quickly changed the topic, and said as a remedy:
"Mr. Zhan Mi, if you are really having trouble making a decision about the company you are cooperating with Jiaju, why not ask Mr. Huo for advice?"
"I know that Mr. Huo is also involved in your and Jiaju's company. With Mr. Huo's shrewdness, the decision will definitely be correct."
"Well, thank you Mr. Li for your concern."
Zhan Mizi forced himself to smile and nodded.
Although Li Bancheng's words of farewell were euphemistic, he meant farewell.
To be honest, even Zhan Mi felt a little unhappy when he came to visit and was persuaded to leave without even getting through the door.
Lei Yaoyang looked normal at this moment and turned around as if to leave.
Zhan Mizi also turned around immediately. Neither of them seemed to be in the mood to "goodbye politely".
In this regard, Li Bancheng acted very understanding and did not get angry. There was even a bit of joy and melancholy on his face, which was very complicated.
"Oh, right."
Suddenly, Lei Yaoyang stopped and turned around, saying:
"Mr. Li, I saw a man of about thirty years old not far from your house earlier. The man was wearing a red suit and was very conspicuous. "Mr. Li also knows that I am a policeman. Seeing that he was acting suspiciously, I wanted to Check it out. Unexpectedly, when the kid saw me, he turned around and ran away. Since the road was unfamiliar, I couldn't catch up and was missed by him."
"I wonder if Mr. Li knows such a person?"
"ah?"
Lei Yaoyang suddenly changed the topic. Li Bancheng didn't seem to expect it, and he was stunned.
Not just him, there were four followers behind him, and their expressions also changed, seeming to be worried, which was very strange.
Lei Yaoyang didn't wait for Li Bancheng to respond, and said with a sudden realization:
"Mr. Li's reaction means that he doesn't know him. It doesn't matter. I still remember the boy's appearance. When I go back, I will do a puzzle and call on all the police in Hong Kong to investigate. We should be able to find him out soon."
After saying that, Lei Yaoyang really turned around and left without looking back.
Behind Lei Yaoyang, Li Bancheng's expression changed drastically and he quickly shouted:
"Wait a minute, Mr. Lei!"
"kindness?"
Lei Yaoyang was very considerate and stopped immediately after hearing the greeting.
Turning around, Lei Yaoyang's tone was full of playfulness:
"Mr. Li, is there anything else?"
Li Bancheng didn't delay at all, stepped forward directly, and said seriously:
"Does Mr. Lei know something?"
"Mr. Li is fair and aboveboard. Can't you let others know if you have something?"
Lei Yaoyang smiled slightly and asked.
Li Bancheng swallowed his words, but did not get angry. He just stared into Lei Yaoyang's eyes and said solemnly:
"Mr. Lei, we can handle the Li family's affairs ourselves. Why does Mr. Lei need to wade into this muddy water?"
Lei Yaoyang stopped his smile and became equally serious:
"Jiaju is my good friend. No matter what, I will help him. Even if it may offend Mr. Li, I will not hesitate!"
"kindness?"
Zhan Mizi looked puzzled when he heard this, but he could tell that something might have happened to Li Jiaju.
Although he didn't understand why Lei Yaoyang said this, he trusted his judgment very much and stood up without fear:
"Mr. Li, did something happen to Jiaju?"
With that said, without waiting for Li Bancheng's reply, he looked at Lei Yaoyang and said:
But Lei Yaoyang didn't give Zhan Mizai a chance to speak at all. He raised his right hand to stop him from talking. He kept his eagle eyes on Li Bancheng and said:
"Mr. Li, I wonder if you have anything to say to me?"
Li Bancheng looked deeply at Lei Yaoyang and remained silent for a long time. After half a minute, his voice was hoarse and he said:
"Mr. Lei, can I trust you?"
Lei Yaoyang nodded and affirmed:
"Mr. Li may not trust me, but he must trust his son's vision. I have said that Jiaju and I are good friends and brothers, and Zhan Mi and him are partners."
call…!
Hearing this, Li Bancheng took a deep breath, then raised his hand and said:
"Okay, you two come in with me."
After saying this, Li Bancheng turned around and led the way, gesturing for the two of them to enter.
Lei Yaoyang and Zhan Mizai also knew that all their speculations had come true and something had really happened to Li Jiaju, so they followed immediately without saying a word.
Entering the Li Family Courtyard through the big iron gate, as expected, the scenery of the forest garden is as beautiful as the outside rumors.
And it has a nice name called Mingyue Tower.
However, at this time, Lei Yaoyang and Zhan Mizai were not in the mood to see the scenery. They followed Li Bancheng who led the way and went straight to Mingyue Tower.
Just entering the building, I saw three men and four women sitting on the sofa in the living room, with anxious faces.
Seeing Li Bancheng come in, they all stood up and looked more relaxed, as if Li Bancheng was their backbone.
"dad!"
"master!"
Li Bancheng raised his right hand to stop everyone, turned around and greeted:
"Mr. Lei, Mr. Zhanmi, please sit down."
At this time, several people discovered Lei Yaoyang and Zhan Mizi behind Li Bancheng.
Immediately, a young man in his twenties who looked exactly like Li Bancheng spoke:
"Dad, who are they?"
Judging from his name, he should be Li Bancheng's youngest son and Li Jiaju's biological brother.
"They are all your brother's friends."
Li Bancheng made a casual introduction, walked to the sofa and sat down slowly.
Judging from his posture, he seemed very tired and could hardly stand.
"Big brother's friend?"
As for the young man, after listening to Li Bancheng’s introduction, he frowned:
"Dad, what time of day is it now, why are you still hosting eldest brother's friends?"
"Master, brother-in-law"
Hearing what the young man said, several women also looked at Li Bancheng with resentful eyes, as if he had done something "heinous".
Li Bancheng seemed to be releasing some pressure. He had always been polite and courteous, and suddenly said loudly:
"What do you know? They are all Jiaju's friends and are worthy of trust. This Mr. Lei is a policeman!"
"police!"
Upon hearing this name, everyone in the hall was visibly happy at first, and then frowned again for no apparent reason.
Lei Yaoyang and Zhan Mizai looked at each other, seeing solemnity and confusion in each other's eyes.
Judging from the behavior of the Li family, something really big has happened to the Li family.
I just don’t know what’s going on that even the richest man’s family can’t solve.
Thinking secretly in their hearts, Lei Yaoyang and Zhan Mi sat on the sofa opposite Li Bancheng without saying a word.
Li Bancheng leaned back on the sofa, took off his gold-rimmed glasses, held his eyes and nose with his right hand, stayed there for ten seconds, then put his glasses back on, and said seriously:
"Mr. Lei, Mr. Zhanmi, I won't hide it from you, Jiaju, he was kidnapped."
"ah?"
Upon hearing this, Zhan Mi reacted so much that he almost jumped up from the sofa and reflexively said:
"Who is so bold? Are you really tired of living?"
Lei Yaoyang, however, had some speculations about this matter. His expression remained unchanged and he said in a deep voice:
"Mr. Li, was it done by the person I mentioned? He just walked out of your Li family?"
Li Bancheng nodded and said:
"Yes, that's him."
"What?"
When Zhan Mi heard this, his reaction became even greater. He couldn't believe it and shouted:
"You kidnapped someone and you dared to come to your door. How bold is that kid? Mr. Li, why didn't you let someone arrest him?"
Listening to Zhan Mizi talking about arresting people, Lei Yaoyang observed that everyone in the Li family had fear on their faces, especially the women, whose faces shone with fear.
Li Bancheng also immediately explained the reason, smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"We can't catch him. He has a bomb on him. If we dare to mess around, not only will something happen to our family, but our Li family will also have difficulty keeping the bomb!"
Hearing this word, Zhan Mizi's face became a little more fearful.
Anyone who dares to walk around with a bomb on his back is a real desperado.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't want his life, the key is that he drags you to die together, no one can stand this!
At the same time, Zhan Mizi was also a little scared and said secretly:
"Thankfully Brother Yaoyang stopped me earlier, otherwise I would have had a conflict with that person. Lei Yaoyang frowned slightly and said seriously:
"Mr. Li, when was Jiaju kidnapped? What happened? I want to know all the details!"
Before Li Bancheng could speak, the young master of the Li family spoke.
I saw a look of disdain on his face and said:
"What can you do even if you know it? Can you save my brother? Forget it, we have already negotiated with that person. He just wants money. As long as you can save my brother, our Li family will pay for it.
Affordable."
Following his words, several women in the living room nodded nervously and agreed:
"Sir, that's right. Those people just want money. Give it to them, as long as Jia Ju can come back."
"Uncle, you must save my cousin!"
"Money is just a trivial matter. We talked to each other, and everyone in the Li family had the same idea. They didn't care about money at all, they only cared about the safety of the Li family. Li Bancheng was surrounded by his relatives and said nothing. He struggled a little. It seemed that he had not made up his mind.
Determined what to do. At this time, Lei Yaoyang spoke.
Lei Yaoyang first glanced at the young man and said:
"According to the police records of our Hong Kong Comprehensive City, in the past ten years, there has been no report to the police for kidnappings. In 70% of the incidents of private contact, the kidnapped person will become a victim and will be silenced. The person who contacted him will also be killed."
A situation where both people and money are lost.”
"Master Li, I know that your Li family is very rich, and I also understand that you are willing to pay unimaginable prices for your family wealth. But doing so may not achieve your goals."
"On the contrary, it is very likely that because of the money, the other party no longer has any scruples and kills people to silence them."
Without waiting for the young man to respond, Lei Yaoyang looked at Li Bancheng and said:
"Mr. Li, you are a successful businessman and the God of Wealth in our Hong Kong Comprehensive Market. Countless people in Hong Kong Comprehensive Market regard you as their idol." I believe that eggs should not be put in one basket. For this reason, Mr. Li should
I understand very well.”
"I, Lei Yaoyang, speak softly, but I still ask myself how much of a thin person I am in the world of Hong Kong Comprehensive City. I now promise Mr. Li that I will save my good brother at all costs."
"I ask Mr. Li to tell me the whole thing in detail and what to do next. After I have a plan, I will also inform Mr. Li. If Mr. Li does not agree, I will never intervene!"
Lei Yaoyang's words were extremely sincere, and deep down in his heart, he really wanted to save that guy with glasses who was so easy to get along with.
But now that he is sleeping on the pillow sent by God, Lei Yaoyang not only wants a pillow but also a bed.
Between emotion and reason, Lei Yaoyang had no reason to stand by and watch.
Perhaps Lei Yaoyang's attitude was too sincere and he took the initiative to help, but instead put himself in a very low position.
In addition to the first sentence of data analysis, no one in the Li family, including the young master, had any objections, but all looked at Li Bancheng.
Zhan Mizi was very discerning and said at the right time:
"Mr. Li, please believe in Brother Yaoyang. Brother Yaoyang has friends all over the black and white streets of Hong Kong Comprehensive City. There is a good chance that he will find Jiaju."
With good words of advice and only the payment of a ransom, I was really passive to the extreme.
Li Bancheng was silent for a moment and said solemnly:
"Okay, I'll tell Mr. Lei everything. It's actually been two days since Jiaju was kidnapped."
As Li Bancheng narrated, the details of Li Jiaju's kidnapping were completely revealed to Lei Yaoyang and Zhan Mizi.
It turned out that two days ago, Li Jiaju took a luxury car and set off from home to work at the company as usual.
Unexpectedly, on the way, several cars rushed out of Li Jiaju's car. Four masked men armed with AK47s dragged Li Jiaju out of the car and into their car, and then
leave.
Only the driver of the Li family was left, and he punched him casually a few times. He stayed at the scene and threatened him not to call the police. He immediately sent the news back to the Li family and asked the Li family to prepare money.
Li Bancheng received the news quickly, because he didn't know what the kidnappers wanted to do, and why they kidnapped Li Jiaju. They were looking for money, business, or grudges... these were completely unclear.
Therefore, Li Bancheng did not dare to act rashly for the first time and waited quietly for the kidnapper to contact him.
That same afternoon, the kidnappers called and stated that their purpose was nothing more than money. They had no grudges or grudges.
For specific details, the kidnappers will come to negotiate today.
"Kidnappers come to your door", even though Li Bancheng is well-informed, he has never heard of such a thing.
But Li Bancheng understood the subtext of this matter:
The kidnappers undoubtedly showed their determination. They did not want their lives and were not afraid of anything. They dared to come to the door, which showed their fearlessness. Just a few hours ago, the kidnappers really came to the door. There was only one person who came, that is, Lei
Yaoyang and Zhan Mizi met the man in the red suit outside earlier.
The man was very arrogant. He and Li Bancheng seemed to be talking about business. They sat at the Li family for two hours, bargaining and discussing the ransom. It was not that the Li family wanted to let the man act arrogant, or that they had not thought of catching him and directly torture him to extract a confession.
But the man was well prepared. Not only did he have a bomb tied to his body, but he also held two pineapples in his hand, which he would toss and play with from time to time, so that everyone in the Li family did not dare to "act rashly."
Listening to Li Bancheng's explanation, Zhan Mizi gradually understood some things that he had been unable to figure out before.
No wonder Brother Yaoyang said he wanted to go back and summon the police to pull out the man in the red suit. Li Bancheng's expression immediately changed and he invited the two of them to come in and tell the truth.
It turns out that man is the kidnapper.
That's right, if Brother Yaoyang really does what he said and immediately makes a big splash when he returns, the kidnappers will definitely misunderstand that the Li family has called the police, and the consequences are simply unimaginable.
So after Li Bancheng heard what Lei Yaoyang said at that time, of course he would stop it immediately and invite the two of them to come in for a detailed discussion.
How could Brother Yaoyang know that the boy in the red suit might have a problem?
Could it be that he is too arrogant and thinks that he cannot be the Li family or even a friend of the Li family?
If this is the case, then Brother Yaoyang's skill in recognizing people is too high, and he still has a lot to learn.
Zhan Mizai admired Lei Yaoyang deeply and did not come up with random ideas. He just looked at Lei Yaoyang and waited for his "opinion".
After listening to Li Bancheng's detailed account, Lei Yaoyang thought for a moment and said in a deep voice:
"How much do they want?"
"The asking price was 10 billion, and the final deal was 5 billion."
Li Bancheng also entered the state, and seemed to feel much less depressed after telling what happened.
"Five billion, ha!"
The corners of Lei Yaoyang's mouth turned up, he smiled inexplicably, and then said:
"When will you get the money?"
"What they want is cash, five billion in cash. Even for our Li family, it is not an easy task. After talking for a long time, the person finally agreed to do it the afternoon of tomorrow."
Li Bancheng gave the answer.
"So, we still have two days to find out where they are and rescue them home."
Lei Yaoyang spoke in a low voice, calculating quickly in his mind.
Li Bancheng had a good ear. When he heard Lei Yaoyang's words, he said expectantly:
"Mr. Lei, are you really sure you can find Jiaju?"
"It's too early to say this now, but as long as you are in Hong Kong Comprehensive Market, I have a solution."
Lei Yaoyang did not guarantee 100%. After one sentence, he asked again:
"Mr. Li, did that man say his name?"
"As I said, that man was very arrogant. He didn't tell me his real name. He just gave him a nickname: Big Rich Man."
Fortunately, this time, it was the young master of the Li family who answered. When the young master of the Li family said this, there was still a bit of injustice. It was obvious that he felt that this "title" was not even called by the Li family. You are a kidnapper.
What is it called?
"Big Rich!"
Lei Yaoyang ignored the dissatisfaction of the young master of the Li family, murmured this nickname, and took out his mobile phone.
"Mr. Lei, what are you doing?"
When Li Bancheng saw this, he quickly stopped him, as if he was afraid that Lei Yaoyang would call the police.
Lei Yaoyang also understood Li Bancheng's thoughts and explained:
"Mr. Li, don't panic. Don't worry, I won't act rashly. I have many friends in the world. I'm calling now to see if anyone has heard of this rich man."
"If we could find out this person's background, everything would be easier!"
Li Bancheng heard this and nodded in agreement without stopping.
Yes, in this case, it is definitely a great good thing to know the details of the other party.
Although Li Bancheng is the richest man and has a wide range of people, he barely knows anyone in the world of Hong Kong Comprehensive City.
It's not that he didn't think about checking the other party at first, but he didn't know anyone, so there was no way to check.
Now since Lei Yaoyang said there is a way, of course he should try it.
Under the watchful eyes of the Li family, Lei Yaoyang began to make a phone call:
"Hey, Mr. Whale, it's me!"
"I want to ask you about a man, a man in his thirties, nicknamed Big Rich Man."
"Oh, it's nothing. I'm asking for someone else. If you don't know, forget it. No need to bother. Well, okay, hahaha!"
"Yaoqing, I'm asking about this guy. He's nicknamed the Rich Man. He's a man in his thirties. He should be on the right track."
"Okay, you ask for me, keep a low profile and don't make any noise, um, OK."
"Plane, where are you?"
"Very good, you go immediately to A-Zha, Kuang Long and the others and ask if anyone knows a man named Da Fuhao, who is in his thirties."
"You don't have to look for it. Just ask me first. This matter is being done in secret. Well, that's right. It's a secret."
For more than half an hour, the Li family watched eagerly as Lei Yaoyang made at least thirty phone calls, averaging one per minute.
And even so, there was no intention of finishing the phone call.
Although no one in the Li family is involved in the world of martial arts, listening to Lei Yaoyang's faintly commanding tone and relaxed words, one can completely feel that Mr. Lei is really not a simple person.
The "popularity" was simply astounding. Half an hour, an hour, an hour and a half, two hours later, Lei Yaoyang put down the phone just now, looked at the Li family and said:
"Wait a minute, I have already informed all my friends to do something. Although they have never heard of this person called Big Rich, each of them has many subordinates. Maybe some of them know him."
Hearing this, Li Bancheng was the first to react, with great hope in his heart and said excitedly:
"Okay, okay, let's wait."
Then, he thought of something again and shouted quickly:
"Azhong, hurry up and pour tea for Mr. Lei and Mr. Zhanmi."
"Yes, yes!"
The Li family members reacted one after another. After they came in, they worked for a long time and were on the phone for two hours. The Li family didn't even drink a sip of water. This was so rude.
Immediately, everyone in the Li family either directed the servants or went out personally. Finally, Li Bancheng's wife, a lady in her fifties who looked noble and kind, personally served tea bowls to Zhan Mizai and Lei Yaoyang.
This kind of treatment is rare in the entire Hong Kong Comprehensive Market. At this time, Lei Yaoyang and Zhan Mizai were not polite. After taking it, they immediately started drinking.
Next, the Li family members all became more enthusiastic, greeting the two of them and chatting about home affairs.
Even the young master of the Li family became interested after learning that Lei Yaoyang was the world's God of Gamblers and asked questions.
Li Bancheng was even more concerned about Zhan Mizi's company and even gave some pointers.
Of course, despite their apparent enthusiasm, it can still be seen from the fact that the Li family frequently stared at Lei Yaoyang's mobile phone on the coffee table that they have not completely calmed down.
Just as everyone in the hall was "overtly or covertly" looking forward to it, the cell phones on the coffee table began to ding... Almost instantly, everyone who was still chatting stopped and fell into silence.
Lei Yaoyang didn't waste any time, picked up the phone and answered:
"Hello!"
"Brother Yaoyang, it's me, Ah Ju."
On the other end of the phone was Beng Yaju who had not returned to Macau and was still staying in Saigon.
To be honest, Lei Yaoyang didn't feel much at first hearing Beng Yaju's voice. He just thought that Beng Yaju had gotten the news and called to show concern.
After all, Lei Yaoyang had just met the kidnapper not long ago. His accent was pure Cantonese, and he was 80% from Hong Kong.
Beng Yaju is from Macau, and his territory is also in Macau. The chance of meeting a kidnapper from Hong Kong Comprehensive Market is very small.
But things in the world are often so magical. After listening to Beng Yaju's sentence, there was a second sentence:
"I heard on the plane that Brother Yaoyang is looking for someone named Big Rich Man, right? I know this person."
"You know him?"
Lei Yaoyang heard it, but his whole expression was expressionless.
Dozens of phone calls revealed that the Li family was really disappointed.
"Yes, I know the rich man. His real name is "Zhang Zihao". He is a bad gambler. Many casino owners in Macau know him. Brother Yaoyang, why are you looking for him? He owes you a debt?"
Bengyaju was a little curious and asked.
Lei Yaoyang muttered the name, and then said in a serious tone without being careless:
"I know, keep checking and tell me if you have any news!"
Speaking, Lei Yaoyang added:
"Give me some time and I'll try. It should be fine."
"That kid owes a lot of money in Macau. A finance company should have taken photos of him."
"good!"
Lei Yaoyang was overjoyed and immediately said:
"Stop talking and get it done right away!!!"
"clear."
Bengyaju heard that the situation was urgent, agreed, and hung up the phone.
Seeing Lei Yaoyang hang up the phone, the Li family and Zhan Mizi both spoke anxiously and asked quickly:
"Mr. Lei, is there any news?"
"Brother Yaoyang, how are you?"
Lei Yaoyang understood everyone's mood very well and immediately explained:
"Still not!."
Ding ding ding!
Just as everyone was talking, Lei Yaoyang's phone rang again.
"Hey, um, nothing's wrong. Just forget it if you don't know me. No, I'll come back to you if I need you."
Soon, Lei Yaoyang put down the phone and faced the expectant crowd and explained:
"The person just now responded."
"oh!"
Everyone nodded in understanding. After all, Lei Yaoyang had made countless phone calls in front of everyone to ask for help.
Nowadays, when people finish their work and they don’t ask, it’s natural to reply.
And in the next half hour, the phone started ringing with the same frequency as Lei Yaoyang's calls.
As the Li family was disappointed again and again, the phone hung up faster every time. Except for Bengyaju, all the people in Hong Kong Comprehensive City were almost "annihilated". No one knew anyone named "Big Rich Man"
Bullying.
To be honest, people who go out to hang out mostly use nicknames, but nicknames like "Big Rich Man" really attract hatred and are not like the style of Hong Kong gangsters.
"Why!"
Seeing Lei Yaoyang answering countless phone calls, there was no good news.
The mood of the Li family gradually dropped again. As strong as Li Bancheng, they were all "sighing" constantly.
About half an hour later, Lei Yaoyang had just hung up a phone call, and the ringtone of his cell phone rang immediately.
But this time, it was different from the ringtone when the phone came, it was a pleasant orchestral music.
Others could not understand what it meant, but as the owner of the mobile phone, Lei Yaoyang knew that it was a text message on his mobile phone.
"Is there any news? So soon?"
Lei Yaoyang quickly took out his mobile phone, and sure enough, there was an unread text message displayed on it.
Open the cover and press the button, and a multimedia message will appear immediately. There is no word in the multimedia message, only a photo.
In the photo, there is a man in his thirties. The man looks handsome and has an unruly face. He is wearing casual clothes and holding a sign in both hands. He is like a prisoner. The sign has the words "Zhang Zihao" written on it, which is obvious.
It was photographed by someone.
As a police officer, Lei Yaoyang is very familiar with this kind of shooting technique.
This is a staged photoshoot of some financial companies targeting borrowers.
This is done to leave an image of you so that company personnel can come to your door later and use the photo as a comparison to collect debts from you.
Of course, now is not the time to study these issues. Lei Yaoyang just took one look at the man's appearance and immediately recognized that he was exactly the person he was looking for.
He was confident but Lei Yaoyangque pretended that none of this happened.
"Mr. Li, do you think there are any other characteristics? After all, it's just a nickname..."
When Li Bancheng heard this, Tong Kong was very distressed:
"No"
"How about Mr. Lei..."
Looking at Lei Yaoyang, Li Bancheng was about to say something.
At this time, in Li Bancheng's hand, Lei Yaoyang's cell phone rang again.
With Lei Yaoyang's eyesight, he took a quick glance and saw that the English letters on the phone were exactly the caller's name set by Lei Yaoyang in pinyin.
"Mr. Li, this is the reply from one of the people just now!"
Lei Yaoyang stretched out his hand and gestured.
Li Bancheng felt expectant and anxious at the same time, and said anxiously:
"Mr. Lei, please answer it quickly."
"kindness!"
Lei Yaoyang took it. On the other end of the phone, Beng Yaju spoke directly and said first:
"Brother Yaoyang, how are you? Is he this person?"
Lei Yaoyang affirmed:
"yes"
"I got it from Mo Luobing. This guy owed a lot of money in Macau. After Brother Yaoyang explained it, I immediately called back to Macau and asked Xiao Liao to ask if the brothers below knew him. In addition, I also gave some familiar friends
The finance company called."
"When the name "Big Rich" was mentioned, Mo Luobing reacted greatly. He immediately said that he knew him and was also looking for this guy."
"I heard from Mo Luobing that this guy owed him three million in gambling debts. When the money was due, he didn't see anyone."
Bengyaju gave a simple explanation and said with concern:
"Brother Yaoyang, what happened? Do you need my help?"
Lei Yaoyang was silent for a moment and asked:
"Keep looking!!"
"yes!"
"Okay, I understand. Let's do this for now. I'll call you later."
Lei Yaoyang said simply and hung up the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Beng Yaju was no fool. He knew that Lei Yaoyang was either inconvenient to talk or had some other reasons.
Since I wasn't asked to do anything, I just didn't have to do it for the time being. It was inconvenient for me to act randomly and disrupt Lei Yaoyang's plan without knowing anything.
"Mr. Lei, how are you doing?"
Seeing Lei Yaoyang hang up the phone again, Li Bancheng was nervous and anxious, and asked immediately.
This time, Lei Yaoyang did not answer immediately. He fell silent and seemed to be thinking.
After more than ten seconds, he raised his head, looked at Li Bancheng, and said seriously:
"Mr. Li, I will look for you personally when I get back. Don't worry, I will definitely find me."
this…!
To be honest, after finding out the details of the other party, Li Bancheng probably gave up hope.
It was even more difficult for Lei Yaoyang to show his true colors.
After all, Li Jiaju is still in the hands of the other party, and the other party comes to negotiate with a bomb. Li Bancheng has seen with his own eyes the level of desperado.
He was afraid of alarming the other party and ending up in a "death together".
