Chapter 809: Century Alliance

At 10 am the next day, at Pengli Farmers’ Market.

Because it is close to the lake, most of the products sold here are aquatic products.

Silverfish, crabs and white shrimps are known as the three delicacies of Penghu. Many of the so-called Yanghu hairy crabs on the market are purchased here, then washed and labeled.

"The kidnappers just sent a text message, saying that the first payment will be made in the B3 fish stall area. What do you think we should do if they take all the money and don't release us? Or they just find a random passerby to give the money to take it. He will definitely be exposed as soon as we show up. If we don't show up, we can only watch him take the money away..." Fang Tiande was sitting in a car, complaining constantly.

Because 9 million is a huge amount, it would take 10- suitcases to hold it, so the kidnappers divided the transaction into multiple batches.

"Mr. Chen swore that he knew the location of the kidnapper. Why is Mr. Fang still worried? You are the one who invited him." The young police officer on the side replied in a low voice.

"He was invited by my son's classmate. How could he be invited by me? What's your attitude, young comrade? Are you speaking rudely to me just because I'm from another place?" Fang Tiande was a big boss after all, and his momentum in retorting made the young policeman shut his mouth immediately.

"Mr. Fang, don't worry. According to our arrangement, the arrest operation will be carried out in Jundong City, Pengli City, and surrounding areas. That is to say, the kidnappers in Jundong City may be arrested in advance. In this way, you don't have to worry about the transaction here..." The female police officer next to Fang Tiande comforted him kindly.

"I don't care about the money. I just don't want to alert the enemy and get my son hurt. You all said that this transaction is most likely a smokescreen." As a father, Fang Tiande is still very worried about his son's personal safety.

The policemen in the car could understand his feelings and could only keep comforting him.

"Why do I have to go to trade? I'm speechless." In the farmer's market, Sun Cheng was carrying two suitcases and couldn't help complaining when he looked at the dirty ground.

Sun Cheng is a bit of a germaphobe. He basically never uses public toilets outside. He would rather drive home to poop than to relieve himself outside. Seeing the dirty market environment, he couldn't help but feel sorry for his newly bought sneakers.

Jundong City, countryside.

"Dong dong!"

"Open the door, open the door!" In front of the gate of an old house, a burly fat man was knocking on the iron door desperately.

However, no one answered for a long time.

"It seems like no one is home." The fat man turned to look at the young man in a baseball cap next to him.

The young man walked to the cement steps beside the courtyard gate, squatted down and gently rubbed the edge of the steps. His fingertips touched a thin layer of loose soil, but there were faint traces of clean dragging in the middle of the steps.

"In a country house like this, if no one lives there for a long time, the dust will be evenly covered on the steps. But here, there is dust only on the edges, while the middle looks like it was recently dragged by a suitcase or heavy object..." the young man whispered.

The fat man's eyes lit up: "You mean, there might be people moving things in and out?"

"Or someone may have deliberately cleaned up the traces of entry and exit." The young man stood up and turned to the cement floor in the yard. "Look at this again." He pointed to a few small water stains on the ground. "It didn't rain this morning, but there are still some dripping water in the yard. Maybe wet clothes were just hung out to dry, or... someone was washing dishes and pouring water."

The young man's eyes moved to the wires on the side of the house. "The wires are new, and there are traces of electrical tape on the connectors. The house must have been powered recently."

After walking a few steps along the wall, the young man suddenly found a few cigarette butts in the corner. He picked them up and squeezed them. The dampness of the tobacco showed that they had been discarded no more than two hours ago.

"Maybe he's out working!"

"Didn't you say that no one has lived here for a long time? Check the owner's information."

Getting the hint, the fat man pulled out a document from the file bag.

A few minutes later.

"Cao Kun, open the door quickly. Who told you to connect the wires privately? If there is a fire, who will be responsible?"

"Clap clap clap!"

The fat man was shouting at the top of his voice and banging on the iron gate frantically.

In front of a window in the small building, two men opened a corner and looked out.

"Who is this person? Could he be a policeman?"

"No, I know this fat guy. He's the son of the leader of the Municipal Electricity Bureau."

"What kind of attitude is this? It seems like you're going to force your way in unless the door is opened."

"There's nothing we can do. This kid used to be a little bully relying on his father's status. I heard that he became a little more obedient after being sent to a private school for reform. But when he went to a public high school, he became a school bully again. He was either fighting or making trouble every day. Now it seems that he was arranged to work in his father's unit..."

"Fuck, this power bureau has become a hereditary system."

"I'll go out and take a look first. You keep an eye on this guy." The man with the flat head pointed at Fang Lin, who was tied up in the corner with his mouth sealed with tape.

"Fuck, you're pretending not to be home, right? I'll remove the wires myself!" The fat man outside the house stopped knocking on the door and kicked it instead.

The enormous force caused the iron door to make a loud noise, and the hole in the stone wall connected to the iron bolt continued to spew out debris.

Cheng Tong and Chen Xi are classmates at Huaguang. Although they entered the same school, they don't get along very well. However, their relationship is much better than that with Yang Dan.

Now that Cheng Tong has entered society, and his old classmate Chen Xi is doing very well, he naturally wants to improve their relationship, so he wants to perform well in this investigation.

"Oh, who was it? It turns out to be Mr. Cheng. I was sleeping in the bed just now and didn't hear you talking. My iron door is not strong, don't accidentally fall down and hurt your feet..." At this time, the flat-headed man in the room came to the door jogging with a smile.

"Are you deaf? I'm about to scream out smoke in my throat. Who gave you the courage to connect wires privately? According to Article 37 of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, anyone who installs or uses a power grid without approval, or installs or uses a power grid that does not comply with safety regulations, shall be detained for not more than five days or fined not more than 500 yuan..." Cheng Tong put his hands on his hips and glared at the other person, the liquid in his mouth almost sprayed onto the man's face.

Alpaca, you are just like your dad!
Although the man with the flat head had a smile on his face, he was cursing in his heart.

"Didn't you hear me? Electricity isn't expensive these days, why would you save that little bit of money? Look at your house, it doesn't even have an air conditioner, how many kilowatt-hours of electricity does it use every month..."

"Yes, yes, I'll pay the fine, I'll pay the fine." The man with the flat head subconsciously touched his pocket, but it was empty. He pointed to the house and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go in and get my wallet."

"You think that just paying the fine will solve the problem, don't you? Don't remove the wires?"

"Yes, I'll take it down in a moment."

"A while, bullshit. If you don't demolish it in front of me today, I won't leave. It happened to a few households before, and I got scolded half to death by the old man when I got back. You idiots are just unconscious. You know someone is coming to inspect, but you still do these petty thefts. If everyone steals electricity, won't the power bureau lose a lot of money? Do you know how many fires occur in the country due to electricity use every year? As many as 500,000. Can you give us some peace of mind..." Cheng Tong's mouth was like a machine gun, and the man with the flat head almost wanted to hit him.

But considering that there were hostages in the house, he could only swallow his anger and said, "This is all my fault. I'll tear it down right away."

Just as the flat-headed man was arguing with Cheng Tong, a man suddenly came in from the backyard of the house. It was Chen Xi who had left earlier.

He opened the back door and went into the house, sneaking all the way to the second floor. Listening to the conversation in the room, Chen Xi silently pressed a few buttons on his phone.

"Bullshit! If you make any more noise, I'll beat you to death tonight." The tall and thin man in the room on the second floor was holding a wooden stick and pointing it at Fang Lin who was twisting his body desperately in the corner.

"Cooperate obediently, and we will let you go after we get the money. It's useless for us to take your miserable life, right?" In order to prevent the other party from making any sound, the tall and thin man changed his tactics.

After a few minutes, there was a sudden conversation outside the room, followed by the sound of an argument. The tall and thin man in the room curiously lifted a corner of the curtain and looked down, which made his eyes widen.

I don't know what happened to the flat-headed man downstairs, but he started fighting with the fat guy.

Among the three of them, the flat-headed man was the best fighter. However, at this moment, he was pinned to the ground and beaten by the fat man, unable to fight back at all.

What frightened him the most was that four or five men in black suddenly climbed over the wall. They moved quickly, two of them held down the struggling man with the flat head, and blocked his mouth. The others had already pulled out their pistols and moved along the wall, silently rolling over the gravel ground.

"Fuck!" the tall and thin man cursed and tried to turn around and run away, but was greeted by a kick.

He was caught off guard and kicked to the ground, and the stick flew to the side.

Fang Lin, who was sitting in the corner, saw an old acquaintance and was so excited that tears filled his eyes.

More than ten minutes later, the flat-headed man and the tall and thin man were taken into the police car, and several villagers passing by pointed at the yard.

"How's the deal with Peng Li going?" Chen Xi dusted himself off and looked at a policeman.

"It was pretty much what we expected. The person in charge of the transaction was a passerby, and we controlled him after he took the money."

“There should be accomplices.”

"This can only be re-examined at the police station, but fortunately the hostages and the money are intact." The young policeman shrugged.

Chen Xi nodded without saying anything.

There is competition in their industry, and this time they have snatched away the performance of the Wulin police.

As for whether he has any accomplices and the subsequent performance distribution, that is none of his business.

"Damn it, I really suffered this time." Fang Lin, who was squatting on the muddy ground in the countryside smoking, rubbed his bruised arm.

"Haha, let's see if you can still be so high-profile in the future."

"I won't be so high-profile anymore. I'll drive a car made in Japan next time."

Hearing Chen Xi's teasing, Fang Lin was also scared this time.

At the junction of Pengli City and Jundong City, Triangle Eyes, who was in charge of directing the transaction, frowned as he sat on a tricycle parked on the side of the road.

Just as he expected, the first deal was ruined by the police. He wanted to contact the flat-headed man and the tall and thin man, but he felt something was wrong. There were many police officers checking at the train station, and there were also several police cars parked on the way back to Jundong.

This money must be recovered!

The unhappy Triangle Eyes thought for a moment, looked around, and pedaled his tricycle toward the south: "Collecting old refrigerators, old color TVs..."

Evening, Jianghuailou Hotel.

"Oh, thanks to you for saving Xiaolin this time. How can I still have the nerve to let you treat me? I must treat you to this meal!" Fang Tiande sat on the chair, his mouth full of words of gratitude.

Zhu Pingping, who was standing next to him, saw her son being beaten all over and she was crying in pain.

"Uncle Fang, you're welcome. Fang Lin and I are friends in Australia, and this happened in Xinlu, so it would be unreasonable for me to not care. But there is one thing I don't quite understand. These kidnappers don't seem to be very smart, and the whole kidnapping case seems to have a lot of suspicious points..."

"Let's leave this matter to the police to investigate. Fang Lin is a kid who has been spoiled by us. We will never give him so much money to spend in the future." Fang Tiande waved his hand, and Chen Xi did not ask any further questions.

In order to thank Chen Xi for his help this time, Fang Tiande promised to carry out in-depth cooperation on the engineering construction issues of rural projects in the future.

In a hotel about ten kilometers away from Jianghuai Building.

"Oh my God, what the hell have you done? I asked you to scare Fang Tiande, but why did you let someone kidnap his son? And you demanded a ransom of 30 million. Do you want to use the money to start your own business?" Yang Dingtian was furious in the room at this moment.

"No, boss. I asked those three people to scare Fang Tiande's son. But they thought the money was too little, so they had evil intentions." The man who was taught a lesson said with his head down.

"The amount you gave me is too little? Are you trying to deduct money? I gave you 200,000 yuan, you gave me 100,000 yuan, and your brother gave 50,000 yuan to someone else?"

"No...no..." The man blushed a little.

Yang Dingtian did give him 200,000 yuan, and he gave 120,000 yuan to the three people, which is 40,000 yuan per person, and pocketed 80,000 yuan for himself.

He thought it was such a trivial matter that wouldn't cost so much money, but he didn't expect such a big problem to arise.

"Why did I keep a bunch of you useless people? What's going on now?"

"According to the information received, two of the three were arrested."

"Where's the other one?"

"The phone call is not connected..."

"Fuck it, solve it for me quickly, no matter how much money it costs. Oh, and leave Jianghuai right away, and don't bring any trouble to me."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Seeing his boss getting angry again, the man could only nod his head desperately.

A few days later, in the Magic City, I swiped my card to the headquarters.

"Fuck, this business is so damn profitable, the monthly revenue has exceeded 100 million, and it hasn't been long since it started! According to my calculations, in a few years the annual revenue will exceed 4 billion!" Lin Xi said excitedly, sitting in the boss chair with a cigarette in her mouth.

"Well, that's how the financial industry is." Chen Xi nodded.

"You gave me the position of CEO in such a profitable industry. This makes me a little suspicious. Are you trying to trick me in the future?" Lin Xi leaned her head forward and squinted her eyes to look at the other person.

"Why would I want to do something bad to you? Isn't it good to cooperate and make a lot of money together?"

"We have always had conflicting ideas. Would you be so kind?"

"Managing the association is for managing the association, and doing business is for doing business. I see that the association has been developing well recently, and I feel that my previous ideas were not quite appropriate. In addition, I have a lot of business on hand, and this project cannot be completed by one person, so I came to you..."

"You should have thought of it this way earlier. I've always felt that we are very compatible, but you were too stubborn in your previous thinking. It doesn't matter. Let's work together and make a lot of money together in the future!" Lin Xi smiled with relief and stretched out her hand.

Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, then shook hands with the other party.

At this time, the two of them had their own agenda, and no one knew what they were thinking. (End of this chapter)
