Jagged City - Chapter 280 Kidnapping

Originally, Lin Tao thought that the affairs of his cousin had come to an end and that he could prepare for the study at the party school. 1卍1 And his father, Lin Zhiyuan, helped Lin Tao contact his doctoral supervisor, Feng Lao, an economics expert at Peking University.In fact, Mr. Feng is not considered old, he is only one year away from turning sixty, but Mr. Feng is an authority on economics in China, and his disciples are all over the country and abroad, including many provincial and ministerial officials, so he is honored as Mr. Feng.Mr. Feng promised to meet Lin Tao, but he was still debating whether to accept Lin Tao as a disciple.At the moment, Mr. Feng is investigating in Europe and was invited to give a lecture at Cambridge University, and he will return to China in a week.Apart from entering the party school, Lin Tao is just waiting to visit Mr. Feng who is returning to China soon.Unexpectedly, another accident happened to the cousin.

The incident happened on the second night when Li Ting and Xiao Fei came home. The two were strolling on the street at night. When they were hungry, they went to eat barbecue. The two of them were very sweet and happy.However, when the two were walking back, a dark shadow sprang out of the small alley for a few days, trapped the two with sacks, and threatened them that if they shouted, they would stab them to death with a knife.

Although Li Ting has learned some grappling techniques, he has no actual combat experience. The other two hooked their shoulders together, affectionately, and did not pay attention to the surrounding situation at all, so they were easily captured by Hei Ying. These four people took Li Ting and Xiao Fei into a small car. The van disappeared into the night.

That night, when the family was worried that the two children would not come home in the middle of the night, and scolded them for being ignorant.the phone is ringing.Fortunately, Lin Tao's grandpa and grandma are old and have already gone to bed. It was Uncle Lin Tao who answered the phone.A sinister voice on the phone said: "Boss Li, are you still asleep?"

"Who are you?" Li Ting's father asked suspiciously, but he was not familiar with the voice.

"I'm the one looking for you to do business!" The other party laughed.

Li Ting's father felt very weird, and thought that it was that friend who was joking with me.Can't help asking: "Okay, friend, who are you, don't joke with me in the middle of the night, if you want to do business, talk to the hotel tomorrow."

The other party laughed and said, "I'm not in a hurry, but if you hear the content of this deal, you may wish to meet me right away."

"Friend, who are you? Also, what kind of business do you want to talk about? Since you know me, you should know that my business is nothing more than opening a restaurant, purchasing raw materials or entertaining guests—"

"Understood, Boss Li is making money every day, and my brother is very envious, so I want to find some money to spend, so I won't talk nonsense. Listen—"

"Dad, Xiao Fei and I have been kidnapped—help me—woo—"

"Who are you? What have you done to my daughter? You bastard, what do you want? If my daughter lost a hair, I will not let you go—"

"Hahaha——Boss Li really cherishes his daughter. No matter what method you use, prepare 500 million yuan tomorrow and wait for the ransom. If you dare to call the police, then wait for the body to be collected. Wait for my call at noon tomorrow—"

"500 million? Even with a loan, it's not so fast—hello—"

"Old Li, your daughter has been kidnapped?" Aunt Lin Tao sat on the sofa with no strength in her body and her eyes were loose.

Li Ting's father put down the phone, feeling panicked, something happened to his daughter, what should we do?If my parents heard it, they would have to take their breath away—this, this—they had to call their nephew immediately.

Li Ting's father was in no mood to comfort his wife, so he called Lin Tao immediately.

Lin Tao had just finished taking a shower and was about to read a book when his cell phone rang.Seeing that it was from his uncle's house, Lin Tao had a premonition that something bad was going to happen when he called in the middle of the night, so he picked up the phone worriedly.

"Is it Xiaotao?"

"What's the matter, uncle?" Lin Tao heard his uncle's voice change.

"Li Ting and Xiao Fei were kidnapped? What should we do? The kidnappers just called—"

"Uncle, please calm down and talk slowly. When did Li Ting and Xiao Fei go out and where did they go? When did the kidnappers call and what conditions were raised? Tell me slowly."

Li Ting just went out for a stroll with Xiao Fei after dinner, so she didn't have any useful clues.Uncle Lin Tao didn't know who he had offended, or if the gangster was a repeat offender and aimed at their family.

"Uncle, don't worry, I'll go there overnight—" Lin Tao said a few words of comfort, put down the phone, packed up his things, explained a few words to Zhao Dingtian, and rushed to his uncle's house overnight.On the way, he called his father and told him to prepare 500 million cash, which was needed urgently, and asked Dingtian to go to Mingyue Lake Hotel to pick it up.When Lin Zhiyuan heard that his niece had been kidnapped, he was startled and angry. He quickly called the chief financial officer of Mingyue Lake, and went to the bank to withdraw money overnight.For a big account like Junlian Group, the bank is also special.You have to go to work even if you don't go to work.Lin Tao arrived near Li Ting's house at five o'clock in the morning the next day.Zhao Dingtian arrived at seven o'clock.Lin Tao and Zhao Dingtian did not go to Li Ting's house, but lived in a small hotel not far from Li Ting's house.Afraid of attracting the attention of criminals.Lin Tao called and told his uncle to be careful, and he was watching in the dark.

Early in the morning, the old man and the old lady woke up, but they didn't see their granddaughter. They heard about Aunt Lin Tao for a long time, so they didn't wake up in the morning.Aunt Lin Tao put on a happy face and said that her daughter asked her high school classmates to watch some sunrise, and she left with Xiao Fei early in the morning.Li Ting's father went to the restaurant.The old man muttered that young people know how to play, so he went out for a walk without paying attention.

Lin Tao arrived near Li Ting's house at five o'clock, secretly monitoring the possible people near his uncle's house.Uncle Lin Tao's family lives in a 23-story building in Huayuan Community.Their family bought two units on the first floor and the second floor. After they were connected, they became a building within a building. The ground floor was bought to facilitate the travel of old men and women. It shows that Aunt Lin Tao is very filial.

Lin Tao watched his uncle come out of the building, walked to the parking space of the community, and then drove away. Lin Tao noticed that a guy dressed as a student was sitting on a chair reading a book, but he kept staring at the unit where his uncle's house was, and after his uncle came out, The kid kept staring at him, and then followed slowly more than ten meters away. After his uncle drove away, the kid immediately called, but he didn't know that Lin Tao heard his whisper when he was more than [-] meters away, and Lin Tao was walking slowly. tight.

"Second brother, Boss Li drove out. It seems that he didn't call the police. No one went to their house."

"He's sensible. This old boy is really rich. Keep an eye on him and see when he comes back."

"Understood, second brother, you and fourth brother should also pay more attention. Although the dilapidated factory in the south of the city is deserted, they may go to some young people and the like. Now that the money is in hand, we can't let Jingzhou be careless—"

"Okay, little Zhuge, don't talk too much, I still don't understand this matter, call me immediately if there is a situation."

The young man hung up the phone, smiled, and walked to the armchair with the novel in his hands.Looking at the people coming and going in the community, I don't know what to think, but the expression is just two words 'satisfied. '

This kidnapping case was planned by Xiao Zhuge.He has been observing the Li family for two months, and he is also a frequent visitor to the Li family hotel, so he has a general understanding of the Li family's income.It has been three months since Xiao Zhuge took over the business, but he is notoriously not in a hurry. He first went to Li's Restaurant every now and then, and then rented a two-bedroom house in Huayuan District, slowly integrating into the life of the community. , and then observe the Li family.Li Ting's parents have a car in and out, so it's not easy to move around.Old men and old ladies basically stroll around the neighborhood, and when there are many people, it is even more difficult to start.So I patiently waited for Li Ting to go home from vacation.But Li Ting hadn't come back after three days off on November [-], which made Xiao Zhuge anxious, thinking about whether to change his plan, but he didn't expect Li Ting to come back in the end, and brought her boyfriend with her. Being bored at home, strolling around is indispensable, so little Zhuge has a chance.Last night, when Li Ting and Xiao Fei came out, they followed behind them, and the others were waiting in the minivan by the side of the road.After following the two for a few streets, they finally found an opportunity to strike suddenly in a quiet corner.Then he drove the car overnight to a dilapidated factory building in the south of the city.

Xiao Zhuge sat on the chair, recalling every bit of the implementation of the plan.

"Little Ma, haven't you left for work yet?" Grandpa Li Ting came back from a walk and greeted Xiao Zhuge who was sitting on the chair.Xiao Zhuge came to the community, and for two months, he accidentally met Grandpa Li Ting. Grandpa Li Ting loves to play chess, and the idlers in the community often watch. .The old man didn't know that this simple-looking young man was the mastermind who kidnapped his lovely granddaughter.

"It's off today. Grandpa came back from a walk. Why didn't you buy some soy milk?" Xiao Zhuge laughed.

"My daughter has cooked, so there is no need to buy it."

"Hehe, uncle, you are truly blessed to be old. Seeing your radiant face, it is no problem to live to be a hundred years old."

"You kid, you really can talk, I'll play chess with you at dinner later." The old man smiled and left.

Not far away, Lin Tao, who was carrying his body on his back, had a cold light in his eyes, and said to himself, this little Zhuge is more poisonous than a poisonous snake, more cunning than a fox, and he even made friends with his grandfather.

Seeing his grandpa walking away, Lin Tao walked along the flower bed, and suddenly fell down with an ouch, Xiao Zhuge turned around and saw a young man sitting on the ground, rubbing his ankles, his forehead was covered with sweat, obviously in great pain light.Little Zhuge hurried over.

"Brother, what's the matter with you?" Little Zhuge asked enthusiastically.In the community, little Zhuge is a good young man with five words and four beauties. Although he has not been in the community for a long time, some uncles, aunts, and aunts all know this little Zhuge.

"Ah—little brother, give me a hand. I don't know what's wrong. One didn't pay attention and sprained his foot. It's fucking unlucky. There is no ditch or hurdle here. Why did he fall? Damn, that bitch It's terrible!" This one sat on the ground cursing.

Little Zhuge smiled, and said to himself, this big brother is a bit unfamiliar, but there are 2000 people living in the community, so how can I know all of them.This person is really interesting, he must have paid the public rations at night, and he was overdrawn.

"Brother, you have to take it easy, although we are young, we can't stand a woman who is like a wolf!" Xiao Zhuge said while supporting him.

"That's right, these days, people can't tell by looking at the surface. If you have a heart, you don't know how you died!"

Little Zhuge smiled and said: "That's not enough, big brother, your back is sore and your legs are hurting, just take some tonic and you'll be fine. Let's have a meeting on the chair first, and I'll show you."

Lin Tao and Xiao Zhuge sat on the chairs, then sighed and said, "Damn it, I still sprained my foot. I wanted to visit the broken factory in the south of the city today. If someone else snatched it up, I'd be at a loss. My equipment It’s all booked in Guangzhou——”

When Xiao Zhuge heard it, he was shocked.A broken factory in the south of the city?

"Brother, what kind of factory did you buy? It can't be that dilapidated old machinery factory in the south of the city, right? It's overgrown with weeds. I don't think there's anything to use for it except making ghost movies." Little Zhuge said heartily, not like you It happened to be the old machinery factory, besides, there seemed to be no other abandoned factories in the south of the city.I have to call my second brother immediately about this matter.

"That's right, these days, isn't it just that the land is valuable!"

"Oh, is there anyone else competing with Big Brother for that factory? Want to go and see?" Little Zhuge asked.

"That's what I said. However, the factory has not been acquired, so don't worry. It is estimated that except for me, no one is interested in that wasteland for the time being."

"Oh, big brother, your foot hurts a lot, and you are not in a hurry to start a business. I think you should get some red medicine first. There is a pharmacy over there, and I will help you there!" Xiao Zhuge pretended to be very upset. said with concern.

"Thank you so much brother. By the way, my name is Lin Tao, and I haven't asked my brother's name yet. I usually don't come back here for three to five months, and the house is empty. Brother also belongs to this community, right?"

"My name is Ma Guoliang—brother, be careful—"

"It's okay-Xiao Ma-hiss, don't say it, it really hurts-by the way, my car is parked over there, let's sit in the car first! Xiao Wang, come here-" Lin Tao greeted from a The young guy who came out of a Mercedes-Benz, Xiao Zhuge’s eyes lit up, and he said to himself, this car is really good, it can’t be worth two or three million, this driver is also energetic enough, he looks like he has been in the army, this Boss Lin It looks really rich, hehe, could it be that the business came to the door on its own initiative, and Xiao Zhuge was overjoyed.

Xiao Zhuge was very honored to be greeted into the Mercedes-Benz car with the canopy open.Then watching the hood slowly close, it feels very good.

"Brother Lin, your car is really nice!"

"Really? When the car is ready, you can sit for a while. By the way, Xiao Zhuge, did you find this business by yourself, or do you have an employer?"

"How do you know I'm Little Zhuge?" Little Zhuge turned pale with shock.

"Whatever I ask you, just say what you said? Don't talk nonsense." Lin Tao's eyes flashed coldly, and little Zhuge immediately felt that he was falling into an ice cave.The dagger that was pinched in the palm of his hand actually slipped out.

"I won't say this a third time, and I'll ask you later, what to say—otherwise—" Lin Tao quickly tapped Xiao Zhuge's Ma and Ya points, and then patted Xiao Zhuge's shoulder, using exactly the same points. There was no need to be merciful to the guy who murdered his relatives. Lin Tao shot a few air needles and kept spinning on the neurons of Xiao Zhuge.But seeing, little Zhuge's facial features were distorted, and there was a whining sound from his mouth. Lin Tao squeezed little Zhuge's chin, and little Zhuge immediately clenched his teeth, causing his teeth to rattle.

"Drive, look at the car navigation, go to the south of the city first." Lin Tao greeted Xiao Wang, and then ordered others to guard the community.

After 20 seconds, Lin Tao reset Xiao Zhuge's arm, but the pain did not disappear immediately, but it eased a lot.

"Speak, tell the cause and effect of the matter again, if you don't want to suffer this kind of pain again, don't think about it!"

"I said—" Little Zhuge is not a fearless revolutionary fighter, but a sinister villain full of scheming and greedy for wealth and wealth. This kind of person is most afraid of death.Soon little Zhuge poured beans into the bamboo tube and explained everything clearly.Following Xiao Zhuge's guidance, Lin Tao drove to the abandoned factory in the south of the city.

The perpetrators were four people.The reason for the kidnapping was that Li Ting's restaurant took over the business of Liu's restaurant diagonally opposite. Since the opening of Li Ting's restaurant, the business of Liu's restaurant has dropped by two or three levels.The Liu family is jealous and hates the Li family.The Liu family was originally from a local ruffian background, and the open ones couldn't compete with the Li family, so they came secretly.Things like smashing glass in the middle of the night, finding someone to make trouble, etc., but Li Ting's parents solved all these, and they have been in business for 20 years, and they also have many friends who know the police, industry and commerce, and taxation.Therefore, these small fights will not affect the Li family's business at all.In the end, the Liu family began to think about evil, found friends in the underworld, and hired Xiao Zhuge and his gang.

Little Zhuge was watching in the community, the so-called eldest brother was watching near the bank where the Li family often went, and the second and third brothers were watching the hostages in the abandoned factory building.Little Zhuge, even the second and third brothers, all confessed clearly that there is a dagger hidden in their calf.And these two people still have two imitation May [-]th pistols in their hands.But Lin Tao didn't care about these at all.
