April 30th, morning.
The kidnapping case attracted HL's great attention. At this time, Levi's mansion was already crowded with members of the task force sent by the local HL. Even the various equipment moved to assist in handling the case were of military specifications. The leader of this task force is Ji Cheng, a thirty-four-year-old man with the same level of ability, an official captain, a member of the Beijing HL branch, and a very outstanding talent in criminal investigation.
Now let’s talk about the two key figures in this case. The first one is Levi.
Li Wei's father was a powerful aristocrat (there were also declining aristocrats in name only). Due to various reasons, no one in the family served in the upper echelons of the empire from a certain generation on, causing the deformed profitable industry to lose the support of power and collapse. They Therefore, they lost the way to make money and did not participate in labor production. Therefore, after a few generations, they were left with nothing to gain) and held important positions in Tiandu. Li Wei is one of the most well-known diamond kings in Long County. He is 28 years old and is known as a talented young entrepreneur. The industries under his name cover almost all areas where money can be made.
Whether it's food, medicine, electronic products, communications, medical equipment, transportation or even municipal construction, etc... It seems that he can do any business and never fails.
As long as the name Levi is mentioned, others will have the impression that he drives a luxurious car and lives in a luxurious villa. His whole body, including his underwear and socks, are made by top designers. Even his sunglasses and pens have to be specially made to ensure uniqueness. Successful people.
He is synonymous with wisdom and wealth, and the standard template for contemporary Prince Charming. Countless middle-aged women have said to their children who are still in elementary school, "You must use this man as a role model in the future, don't be as useless as your father" and so on...
For such a man, his words in public can cause the stock price to fluctuate, and whichever female star he has an affair with can make that actress instantly popular. It seems that even his farts smell good and are pink; and the shit he poops... oh no, he doesn't poop, he only farts pink.
Let's talk about Jiang Yun next. Before describing his specific situation, we must first talk about a concept, that is, "royal family".
The biggest difference between the royal family and the nobility is that one group is relatives and the other group is outsiders. Although titles and status of famous families can be hereditary, if nobles want to be prosperous for generations, they must not stray too far from the center of power. This is a very real world. Power and money are as inseparable as colds and fevers, even if you are fourth Born in the third generation, if your grandson is not even a deputy director in the fourth generation, then congratulations, within three generations you will definitely become as poor as a commoner, and it will be useless no matter how rich you are, the money will eventually flow into other people's pockets pocket.
However, there is another trick for nobles whose families are in decline, which is to marry their daughters. Relying on this trick to turn around is a bad idea, but people who have done this have been doing it one after another since ancient times. When the luxurious life leaves a nobleman, he is extremely frightened in his heart, because he has seen too many experiences of common people, and that is a life that the nobleman cannot accept even if he dies. As a result, this became something that was despised but seemed worthy of sympathy.
Having said that, look back at the royal family. The royal family does not need to worry about the above-mentioned problems, because they are relatives of the emperor. No matter how far away the relatives are, they are still relatives. As long as they have the slightest blood relationship with a princess with an official title, no matter how many years have passed, as long as Your family members are not dead, and the empire guarantees you enough food, clothing, and clothing to make you a moderately prosperous and super prosperous person, but you are immersed in the dire straits of capitalism and it is difficult to extricate yourself.
I have never heard of a royal family marrying off their daughter. It is not uncommon for aristocratic families who are extremely wealthy to come forward to pay for their daughter. This kind of marriage is equivalent to power marrying money. The nobles get the status of the royal family, and the royal family gets the wealth of the nobles. It's a win-win situation.
Jiang Yun is unfortunate in a sense. Her mother died young, and her father was a drunken playboy when he was young. He abused drugs and contracted some unseemly diseases many times, so that when he was thirty years old, he had some physical problems. To make a long story short, when After he had two seven-year-old sons and a two-year-old daughter, one of his vital organs failed that year.
Generally speaking, people who encounter such changes have two extreme behaviors. The first is to learn from the pain and do something earth-shattering to divert their energy. Maybe there will be another peerless master of embroidery needles in the world...
But Jiang Jun's father belongs to the second situation. When he lost his "color", he could only place his affection on "wine". Of course, it is not ruled out that deep down in his heart, he may just want to practice some heaven-defying magical skills such as "Dionysus". In short, after suffering from gastritis, ulcers, heart disease, and cirrhosis of the liver one after another, his miracle work was not completed and he died.
Jiang Yun has become the head of the family since she was five years old, but she doesn't understand anything. The relationship between her two brothers is very ordinary. The reason is very simple. Although they are older, they are the children of the younger wife. According to the laws of the empire, only the emperor can enjoy monogamy and polyconcubine. Others, even if you have a very close blood relationship with the emperor, such as the emperor's second uncle, can only have one wife legally.
Jiang Yun, the legitimate child, has the legal right to inherit all property, while the two brothers who were born from a common concubine were just two "accidents" in his father's youth. After receiving a settlement allowance that could provide him with food and clothing for the rest of his life, they He almost cut off all contact with the Jiang family.
Today, in her early twenties, it is impossible for Jiang Yun to understand everything. If there is anyone in the world who particularly cares about her, it is Li Wei. They have not known each other for a long time. At this stage, their relationship is far from a friendship. It wasn't too far away. At this critical period, the consultant randomly arrested a member of the royal family at an inappropriate time, and it happened to be Jiang Yun.
Originally, Li Wei had not expected that this case would become a big one. Who was Li Wei? He was the eldest son of the Li family from a prosperous aristocratic family. He had power over the whole country, his son was very rich, and he was kidnapped. She is a young lady from the royal family, so it is normal for her to mobilize troops and mobilize people.
However, after Ji Cheng watched the video playback on the video phone last night, less than five hours later, the other party suddenly contacted Levi again and said that the seventh prince, Clauser Wittstock, would be on site to conduct the command in person within three days. The big picture.
What's happening here? Isn’t this already a case of mobilizing troops and mobilizing people? Has the imperial commander personally conscripted it? Who are the kidnappers? The prince actually took action in person? Could it be that... this guy known as the Tea Fairy is also interested in Jiang Yun? It's impossible, I've never heard her talk about this person...
Li Wei was in a state of confusion. From the moment the news of Jiang Yun's disappearance reached his ears, he was anxious and depressed. Although the phone call yesterday made him angry, at least he had news about Jiang Yun.
The kidnapper did not explain clearly why he came to blackmail Levi. He and she were just friends, whether legally, nominally or in fact, they were just friends. According to the kidnapper's remarks and attitude that he is not afraid of HL, if Jiang Yun has no immediate family members who can blackmail him, the kidnapper can directly blackmail the government. Therefore, according to the general line of reasoning, Jiang Yun must have told the kidnapper Li Wei's name. She was asking for help, and Li Wei was the only person she could think of to turn to.
This makes Li Wei happy in his sorrow. Once the hero saves the beauty, this woman will be at his fingertips. But the problem now is the kidnapper's various abnormal remarks and demands.
Assuming that the prince's arrival is not because he and Jiang Yun are old acquaintances, but because he came for the kidnapper in the video, combined with the man's behavior and performance, he is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous and crazy member of the resistance organization, at least a small one. Boss level.
… …
At eight o'clock in the morning, Levi was sitting on the sofa in his living room, his palms full of cold sweat.
The mobile phone found in the base of the coffee machine was placed on the coffee table. HL had already installed a listening device on it, and a whole monitoring team was arranged around it. They were always ready to start tracking the source of the signal as soon as the mobile phone was connected. Find out the location of the kidnapper.
Among the people present, only the person in charge of the scene, Ji Cheng, knew that the prisoner in this case was at "danger level six", while others, including HL's staff and combatants on standby, as well as Li Wei, they all only heard from Ji Cheng. Chengcheng just learned the name "Tianyi" from his mouth. As for this guy's details, to be honest, he didn't mean to keep it secret, but Ji Cheng didn't know it either.
The bell rang, and a string seemed to tighten in the minds of everyone present.
Levi looked at Ji Cheng's gesture. When the monitoring team was ready, Ji Cheng nodded. Levi put the phone on the coffee table and pressed the speakerphone. He came closer and said, "I'm Levi."
Tianyi's voice reached the ears of everyone present, and he said: "Listen carefully to your first proposition - your life is only worth a can."
Levi was silent for a few seconds. On the one hand, he was thinking about Tianyi's words, and on the other hand, he was also buying time for the person tracking the phone: "What does this mean?"
Tianyi replied: "Literally. Then... the next time will be left to you to prove the authenticity of this proposition." He slightly raised his voice and said: "Mr. Ji, please give Li a letter within twenty minutes." The young master has prepared a helicopter and will land at the place indicated in the text message within an hour."
After saying that, Tianyi seemed to be about to hang up the phone. Just when everyone was shocked that Tianyi even knew the last name of the person in charge in the room, Ji Cheng was the first to react. He simply interrupted: "Mr. Tianyi, we We need to confirm whether the hostages are still alive and safe." On the one hand, he wanted to confront the other party directly and give a certain degree of shock, and on the other hand, he wanted to delay as much time as possible.
Unexpectedly, the next second, there was a "pop" from the other side of the phone, and then a short scream from a woman.
Everyone understands that the hostage received a slap in the face.
Levi's anger level exploded instantly. He picked up his phone and yelled: "You bastard! I..."
Tianyi interrupted: "Remember, you didn't question my authority. If I said the hostage is alive, she will be alive. If you repeatedly bother me with boring things, you will only bring trouble to yourself. Follow the rules of the game and my guidance." Do it, and you will eventually get a satisfactory result. But if you still go out of your way to ask for confirmation of the safety of the hostages in every phone call, or bargain with me and waste my time like a negotiator, I won’t even know what to do. I'll do something when I get down here." After saying that, he hung up.
Levi really wanted to smash his phone to pieces, but he couldn't, so he could only kick the sofa a few times to vent his anger.
A member of the surveillance team said at this time: "Sir, the source of the signal cannot be traced. He must have used special technical means to block us."
Levi turned to glare at them: "What did you say! What on earth do you do for food?!"
"Please calm down, Mr. Li." Ji Cheng stood in front of Li Wei and stopped him before he said anything more unpleasant.
Ji Cheng always gives people the impression of being very calm and reliable. He can hold the situation in check as soon as he speaks: "This situation is also normal. Since the other party has made it clear that he is not afraid of being followed, it means that he is prepared." .”
After all, Li Wei is a person of status, but anyone who wants to have some respect has to pretend to be a little civilized even if he has no morals. Since Chief Ji has spoken and what he said is reasonable, he borrowed the donkey from the slope to correct him. He straightened his clothes and said to the surveillance personnel: "I'm sorry, I was too impulsive."
Ji Cheng was experienced in dealing with things and continued: "It's human nature, understandable." He changed the topic and said to his subordinates: "Contact the helicopter, check the number that sent the text message, and immediately send a group of people to the nearest number to the number in the text message. Go and investigate that location, but don’t alert the enemy.”
He turned back to Li Wei and said, "Master Li, take a rest first. We'll set off as soon as the helicopter arrives. This kidnapper is unpredictable, but judging from the counter-reconnaissance techniques that are often used in such cases, he is likely to ask you for help soon." It's hard to say whether there will be any danger if you act alone. I asked my men to prepare a body armor equipped with a tracking device and eavesdropping equipment. You'd better wear it before setting off."
The sound of the slap just now echoed in Levi's mind, and he felt uneasy, so he just nodded without saying anything.
