The resolution of the internal conflicts of the Situ Group gave Liu Zhang and Liu Xun some rare free time.
Nothing important happened during these few days. Plainclothes detectives from all over the country were still searching for Cui Jiangbo. Yue Xudong and Dapeng also planted spies in various places in S City, but Cui Jiangbo seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth. Neither the police nor Liu Xun could find any trace of him.
This made Liu Xun and Xu Tengfei suspect that Cui Jiangbo had left S City.
At the same time, although the companies in City S did not make any major moves on the surface, they were already in turmoil secretly. Liu Zhang knew that Situ Group had lost 60% of its previous business lines, but he was powerless and could only protect himself first.
"Brother, we have lost 60% of our customers and our funds are very tight. If you want to become one of the two international giants again, you must get Situ Ying's 50% stake." Liu Zhang said solemnly, pointing to the current rise and fall chart of Situ Group's shares and the downward trend of international companies.
"Okay, stop talking to me about these business matters. I won't understand even if you tell me!" Liu Xun's mind was already confused enough, and he didn't want to get involved in the conflicts between the Situ Group and various companies.
At this point, Liu Xun suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Situ Ying today, so he asked casually: "By the way, where is Situ Ying? Why didn't I see her when I got up this morning?"
Liu Zhang shook his head and smiled, looking at Liu Xun and said, "Isn't it your birthday today? Situ Ying went to prepare a birthday present for you."
"..." Liu Xun was stunned when he heard this. Today was his birthday, but he had forgotten it because he had never celebrated his birthday in the five years of his military career. This birthday was also set for him by his grandfather. Even Liu Xun himself didn't know his date of birth.
"Did you tell her?" Liu Xun took a deep breath, and Liu Zhang nodded, because he was the only one who knew about this.
"What time did she leave?" Liu Xun straightened his tie. He had been wearing military uniform for the previous five years, so he felt a little uncomfortable wearing a suit all of a sudden.
"He left at eight in the morning." Liu Zhang continued to check the business map of Situ Group and said casually.
Liu Xun looked at his watch and frowned, "That's not right. It's already two o'clock in the afternoon. How can she spend six hours buying a gift?"
"Maybe she wants to give you a surprise. Maybe when you are not paying attention, she will appear in front of you." Liu Zhang stretched and said with a chuckle.
Liu Xun nodded, said nothing more, and lay down on a chair beside him with his eyes closed to rest. Time passed quickly, and another hour went by.
At this moment, Liu Xun suddenly opened his eyes, and Liu Zhang also put down the information in his hand. The two brothers shouted in unison: "No!"
Coincidentally, at this moment, Liu Xun's cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. Liu Xun narrowed his eyes and immediately pressed the answer button.
"Liu Xun, this is Xu Tengfei. Situ Ying has been kidnapped by a drug trafficking gang. I am at the Criminal Police Headquarters. Please come over quickly." Xu Tengfei's voice came from the phone, with a solemn tone in his voice.
"Asshole!" Liu Xun hung up the phone and slammed the table. Liu Zhang also frowned at this time. Since Liu Xun pressed the hands-free button, he also heard the words.
"What should we do?" Liu Zhang asked softly. Liu Xun took a deep breath, took off the tie around his neck, threw it aside, and said, "What can we do? Situ Ying must not have any accidents. I'll go."
Liu Zhang nodded and said nothing more, because no matter in public or in private, Situ Ying must not make any mistakes. First, she holds 50% of the shares, and second, Liu Xun doesn't want her to get into trouble.
After getting in the car, Liu Xun rushed towards the Criminal Police Headquarters. When he arrived at the Criminal Police Headquarters, Xu Tengfei was discussing countermeasures with several criminal police officers. Seeing Liu Xun coming, he also walked towards Liu Xun.
"What's going on? Why would a drug gang kidnap her for no reason?" Liu Xun was in a bad mood and asked Xu Tengfei in a low voice.
Xu Tengfei knew the relationship between Liu Xun and Situ Ying, so he could understand Liu Xun's emotions at the moment. He patted Liu Xun on the shoulder and said, "Yesterday, all major police stations received orders that a 15-member drug trafficking gang would enter S City and let them track their whereabouts. However, when passing by a cake shop, the tracking was discovered. Situ Ying happened to be there and was kidnapped. In addition, five citizens were kidnapped!"
"EO!" What you fear will come to you. On the way, Liu Xun had doubted whether this drug trafficking gang was the EO that Chen Huizhu mentioned, but now after hearing what Xu Tengfei said, there was no doubt anymore.
But Liu Xun could not determine that the other party was an EO based on this alone. However, judging from the other party's method of taking hostages, it was undoubtedly clever. There were five citizens plus Situ Ying, which meant six hostages. The other party had fifteen people, six of whom controlled the hostages and nine provided cover. In this way, even if the criminal police hiding in the dark had already targeted them, they would not dare to act rashly.
Moreover, the other party could sense the police's pursuit, which meant that there must be scouts and veterans in this drug trafficking gang! Is it a coincidence? But this is too coincidental. There is a 99% chance that the other party is the gang that Chen Huizhu mentioned, that is, EO.
"Don't worry, the army has been dispatched, and the surrounding people have been evacuated. The criminal police have also ambushed at various intersections. They will definitely not be able to escape." A criminal police captain persuaded Liu Xun.
Liu Xun heard this and laughed sarcastically. He ignored the man and looked at Xu Tengfei and said, "You have also been in the special forces team. You should know the consequences of doing this! They are not ordinary people. Have you heard of EO?"
When Xu Tengfei heard EO, his pupils shrank and he asked solemnly, "So what do you say we should do?"
"Meet all their conditions and let them go!" Liu Xun took a deep breath and shouted in a low voice.
"No!" Just as Liu Xun landed and before Xu Tengfei spoke, Chen Huizhu and Li Tengwei also came into the room.
"If we let them go, the hostages won't be safe either. Even when they are safe, they will be shot to death." Chen Huizhu looked at Liu Xun and said softly.
Liu Xun had the urge to curse at her, but because she was Li Mengyao's mother, he temporarily held back and asked, "You knew they were EOs, so why did you notify the police to follow them? Wouldn't it be better to wait until they left S City and then set up an ambush in the dense forest on the border?"
Liu Xun's words silenced Chen Huizhu. Li Tengwei sighed and said, "This is an order from above. We must kill them when they leave S City. Moreover... we didn't expect that they could detect the police's tracking, and we didn't expect... that they are really EOs." (To be continued)
