"Dad, I had no choice but to blame my weak will. That time I was forced to go to Macau by some friends to gamble. I lost everything and was still in debt. Chu Tianfeng's girlfriend happened to be here.
Hong Kong, I'm thinking of detaining her and forcing Chu Tianfeng to give up the controlling stake. I can resell her and make a small fortune to fill the hole!" Peng Jialiang said with a sad face.
"You... you are a scoundrel who fails to succeed but fails to succeed!" Peng Xinghu was so angry that his hands trembled.
"Dad, what happened has happened, and I know I was wrong. Can you please give me a chance to change my ways in the future? I am your biological son! Can you still treat outsiders?" Peng Jialiang said.
With a sincere confession of guilt, he had already figured out his father's temper. No matter how big the trouble was, as long as he admitted his mistake, his father Peng Xinghu would help him clean up the mess.
"You ask Wu Huai to call and summon Chu Tianfeng to Hong Kong immediately."
As soon as Peng Xinghu finished speaking, the phone rang in the office. After he answered the phone and heard the report from his subordinates, his face immediately turned green and he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Dad, what happened?" Peng Jialiang asked with concern.
"Damn, it's not your fault! Just this morning, the Yanjing police raided our Xingyu Company controlled by Peng on the pretext of a routine inspection, and took away the chairman Sun Zhaobo. They suspected that Xingyu Company
Yu Company is suspected of illegal operations, stock price manipulation, and tax evasion." Peng Xinghu said coldly.
"Oops, how could this happen!" Peng Jialiang said tremblingly.
"Well, our Peng family's investment in the mainland has exceeded 300 million Hong Kong dollars, and we control seven or eight large companies in total. Why do we want to accuse them? Once the police investigate in detail and dig out the carrots and bring out the mud, which company
Is there no problem with the company? When people make a fuss about it, all the money we invested will be wasted! Today they raided Xingyu Company and they just gave us a warning." Peng Xinghu said seriously.
"Dad, I'm going to call Wu Huai and ask him to release him as soon as possible! No, no, send him to Causeway Bay Hotel and wait for Chu Tianfeng to pick him up!" Peng Jialiang now feels that the people he detained are simply
They are hot potatoes and I want to let them go immediately.
The actions of the Lin, Du, and Tang families had initial results. One day later, Chu Tianfeng received a call from Wu Huai, asking him to come to Hong Kong immediately for negotiations, saying that this was all a misunderstanding and could be resolved peacefully.
"Xiao Feng, I'll go with you!" Du Yunkun said.
"I'll go alone. With you guys supporting me behind my back, I believe that the Peng family won't dare to do anything to me, and I will bring them back safely." Chu Tianfeng said sternly.
"No, you can represent the Lin family, but you can't represent our Du family, so I have to go with you." Du Yunkun said in a deep voice.
"Well, then we'll leave this afternoon." Chu Tianfeng said firmly.
"Don't worry, let's prepare a few plans first and make the difficulties a little more complicated, so that we can ensure everything is foolproof!" Du Yunkun summoned the Lin and Du families to sit together to discuss Chu Tianfeng's "strategy" for going to Hong Kong to rescue the hostages.
The core is to bring back all the people detained by the Peng family safely.
After some discussion, everyone finally agreed with Du Yunkun's plan. Chu Tianfeng went to negotiate with the Peng family as a representative, agreeing to them first no matter what conditions the other party offered, in order to get the person back.
Du Yunkun followed Chu Tianfeng to Hong Kong to try to get the support of the local police and take action to rescue the hostages if necessary. This was the worst plan. It was best to resolve the matter peacefully. Once force was used, the hostages might be killed.
dangerous……
Lin Yajing had been living in panic for the past two days. Originally, she and her "grandma" Li Qiuping and her group were going to take a boat to Po Toi Island for a day trip. She never expected that the boat suddenly changed its route and went to Hengdao.
Lan Island, after getting off the boat, they were forcibly abducted by gangsters disguised as tourists on the boat and taken to a villa on the island...
Only then did they realize that they were on a pirate ship.
The whole incident was carefully planned by Wu Huai, and it was his idea to detain Lin Yajing and his party. In order to repay the huge sum of money he gambled away, Peng Jialiang had no choice but to let Wu Huai do what he did without his conscience.
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of bad things, you are afraid of not being good people.
During the past year when Wu Huai acted as the financial director of the Peng Group, he secretly colluded with Vice President Peng Jialiang to embezzle more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars from the group, and the money had already been squandered by the two of them.
There is no airtight wall these days. Last month, chairman Peng Xinglong discovered the company's financial problems. After a thorough investigation, the finger was pointed at Wu Huai.
Wu Huai realized that his situation was very dangerous. He was not from the Peng family, and he would definitely be beaten to death by the Peng family at the critical moment!
So he had no choice but to go all out and make a big deal, and happened to catch up with two old ladies, Li Qiuping and Qu Shuying, taking Lin Yajing and Du Yunpeng to travel to Hong Kong.
Wu Huai didn't know anyone else, but he had met Lin Yajing. When he went to Tianfeng Company in Tianhai City last month to inspect investments, Lin Yajing was also present and was introduced as Chu Tianfeng's girlfriend.
After originally planning to kidnap Lin Yajing's family, Wu Huai wanted to "force" Chu Tianfeng to give up part of his equity and then make a huge sum of money through reselling, but he did not expect that the person being kidnapped had a strong background.
It has affected the nerves of the Hong Kong police and the military, causing him to be very passive now. He has to change his strategy and ask for money directly without any equity! Once he gets the money, he will run away immediately. Only with money can he successfully escape and spend the rest of his life.
Then I won’t have to worry about eating and drinking.
"Chu Tianfeng, come to Hong Kong right away! Don't you want a controlling stake? We can give it all to you, as long as you return the 8 million that the Peng Group invested in your company. In other words, we are going to divest!
"Wu Huai called Chu Tianfeng for the second time and said.
"What? Withdraw capital? But I spent more than half of your money." Chu Tianfeng said.
"Haha, I don't care what method you use, you must raise eight million for me. I want cash, not a check. It would be better if I could exchange it for one million US dollars! As long as you hand over the money to me, I will
Just let him go, what do you think?" Wu Huai asked with a sneer.
"Then you have to give me some time to raise money? It's a lot of words," Chu Tianfeng said helplessly.
"I only give you three days, we can't delay it any longer." After Wu Huai said this gloomily, he immediately hung up the phone.
"It seems that the other party has completely lost their skin and is directly asking for ransom!" Du Yunkun said with a serious expression after hearing the content of Chu Tianfeng and Wu Huai's phone call through sophisticated monitoring equipment.
"Yes, 8 million. Where can I get the money? My company's registered capital is 18 million, but I spent more than 12 million on the purchase of an online game engine a few days ago, and I also rented it.
For expenses such as office space and staff expenses, the remaining money that can be withdrawn is only more than three million, not even half of it!" Chu Tianfeng said.
"Remember the content of the call just now carefully, there is something wrong with it!" Du Yunkun said seriously.
Chu Tianfeng pondered for a long time and said seriously: "I think this matter is probably the personal behavior of Wu Huai. The whole incident was also planned by him. As long as he gets the money, he has to run away and take the hostage.
It is very likely that he will be poisoned by him." Du Yunkun said with a solemn expression.
"That's right! The senior leaders of the Peng family may not know about it, or they may know the inside story, but they don't agree with the two people's actions, which is why Wu Huai is forced to break his face and directly demand the ransom." Du Yunkun said.
"Well, Brother Du, what's your opinion?" After all, Chu Tianfeng is not a policeman. Even though he has a quick mind, he is not experienced enough. When encountering this kind of thing, it is best to listen to the advice of the "wily" Du Yunkun.
….
Du Yunkun stared at Chu Tianfeng and said seriously: "We should find a way to get in touch with the senior leaders of the Peng family, preferably their head Peng Xinglong. As long as we get his support, there will be hope for the release of the hostages.
Much more.”
"But how could Peng Xinglong support me? I have never met him, and besides, we are so unhappy with the Peng family now..." Chu Tianfeng said.
"That's just putting some pressure on the Peng family. I believe that Peng Xinglong, as the head of the third largest financial group in Hong Kong, should be able to assess the situation and not act recklessly like the two reckless men Peng Jialiang and Wu Huai." Du Yun.
Kunzheng said.
"I understand, what about the money issue?" Chu Tianfeng asked.
"When we get to Hong Kong, we will naturally find a solution." Du Yunkun said confidently.
"Xiao Wu, just stop when you're ready! It won't be good for you or me to keep going like this!" Peng Jialiang rushed to the place where the hostages were held on Henlan Island and begged Wu Huai.
Originally, Peng Jialiang was Wu Huai's immediate boss, but now Wu Huai has a hostage in his hands. There are ten brothers under him in the whole villa, and each of them has a gun. At first glance, he is a gang member, and Wu Huai himself
He also has a gang background and is definitely a ruthless character.
"Just accept it when it's good? What's my benefit? I've been working as a cowboy for your Peng family for five or six years, and I only got less than one million Hong Kong dollars. Damn it, this little money is not enough for you Peng family."
We are gambling outside!" Wu Huai said coldly.
"You...what do you want?" Peng Jialiang asked sharply.
"I want money! What do you think about taking back the 8 million invested in Tianfeng Company and sharing it equally between the two of us?" Wu Huai said with a dry laugh.
"No, this will greatly stimulate the Lin and Du families and take more severe action against us. Now that the entire police force in Hong Kong has been mobilized, our place is not safe!" Peng Jialiang said eagerly.
"Hey, the danger belongs to your Peng family. When the time comes, I will take the money and run away. I have already planned the route. I will escape by boat from Wanglan Island and cross the Strait of Malacca..." Wu Huai will not say the rest.
, as long as you pass Malacca, there are too many places you want to visit - India, Pakistan, and Iraq. The domestic situation in those countries is relatively chaotic, and some are hiding places.
"You... you are simply a lunatic. Listen to me and release all the hostages quickly. This way you can still have a chance of survival. Otherwise, there is only a dead end!" Peng Jialiang said loudly.
