Chapter 19 The first call

April 30th, morning.

The kidnapping case attracted the high attention of HL. At this time, Li Wei's mansion was filled with members of the task force sent by the local HL, and even the various equipment brought to assist in the case were military specifications. The leader of this task force was Ji Cheng, 34 years old and ranked as a captain, a tiger general in the Beijing HL branch, and has outstanding talents in criminal investigation.

Let’s talk about two key figures in this case, the first one is Li Wei.

Li Wei's father was a real-power noble (there were also declining nobles who had only the name of him. Due to various reasons, the family had no one to serve in the upper class of the empire since a certain generation, resulting in the deformed profit-making industry losing the support of power and collapsed. They lost the way to make money and did not participate in labor production. Therefore, several generations later, there was a situation of sacrificing all over the world) and held an important position in Tiandu. Li Wei was one of the most well-known diamond princes in Longjun. He is now 28 years old and is known as a genius young entrepreneur. The industries under his name involved almost all areas that can make money.

Whether it is food, medicine, electronic products, communications, medical devices, transportation, or even municipal construction, etc.... it seems that he can do any business and never fails.

As long as the name Li Wei is mentioned, others will be impressed by a luxury car and living in a luxury villa. Even their underwear and socks are written by top designers. Even sunglasses and pens must be specially created to ensure a unique and successful person.

He is synonymous with wisdom and wealth, a standard template for contemporary prince charming. Countless middle-aged women have said to their children who are still in elementary school, such as "In the future, we should take this man as a role model, and don't be as unreliable as your father."

Such a man can fluctuate the stock price by just one word in public. If he has a scandal with a female star, he can make the female star become famous immediately. It seems that even farts are fragrant, and it is pink; and the shit he pulls out... Oh no, he doesn't shit, he will only farts pink.

Let’s talk about Jiang Yun. Before describing his specific situation, we must first talk about a concept, that is, the “royal clan”.

The biggest difference between royal families and nobles is that one group is relatives, and the other group is outsiders. Although titles and identities of famous families can be hereditary, if a noble family wants to be rich for generations, he must not leave the center of power too far away. This is a very realistic world. Power and money are as close as colds and fevers. Even if you are from the fourth generation, if you are a three-monarch, if you don’t even get a deputy director in the fourth generation, then congratulations, you will definitely become as poor as a commoner within three generations, and no matter how rich you are, it will be useless. This money will eventually flow into other people’s pockets.

However, the nobles who have lost their family have another trick, which is to marry their daughter. This trick is a bad idea, but from ancient times to the present, people who have done this can continue to do so. When a wealthy life is far away from a noble, he is extremely afraid of it because he has seen too many encounters with civilians, which is a life that a noble cannot accept even if he dies. Therefore, this has become a despised but seems worthy of sympathy.

Let’s talk far, look back at the royal family. The royal family does not have the above problems to worry about, because they are relatives of the emperor. No matter how far apart their relatives are, they are relatives. If they have a little blood relationship with a princess with a formal status, no matter how many years have passed, as long as your family members are not dead, the empire will allow you to have enough food and clothing, be well-off, be super prosperous, and be immersed in the dire straits of capitalism.

I have never heard of a royal family marrying a daughter. It is common for aristocratic families who are rich enough to match the country to join them to pay for it themselves. This kind of marriage is equivalent to marrying money by power, aristocrats get the status of the royal family, and aristocrats get the wealth of the nobles, which is a win-win situation.

Jiang Yun was unfortunate in a sense. Her mother died prematurely. Her father was a playboy who was indulging in alcohol and sex when he was young. He abused drugs and had suffered from some indecent diseases many times. So much so that when he was thirty, his body was in trouble. To put it simply, when he had two seven-year-old sons and a two-year-old daughter, one of his important organs lost their function that year.

Generally speaking, people who encounter such changes have two extreme manifestations. The first is to learn from the pain and do a shocking career to divert their energy. Maybe there will be another peerless master who uses embroidery needles in the world...

But Jiang Yun's father belongs to the second situation. When he loses his "color", he can only rely on "wine". Of course, it is not ruled out that he may just want to practice the magical skills such as "Dixin God". In short, after suffering from gastritis, ulcers, heart disease, and cirrhosis, his magical skills have not been achieved and he has died.

Jiang Yun has become the head of the family since she was five years old, but she just didn't know anything. The relationship between the two brothers and her was very ordinary, and the reason was very simple. Although they were older, they were born by their little wife. According to the laws of the empire, there is, and only the emperor can enjoy the monogamy and multiple concubine system. Others, even if you have a very close blood relationship with the emperor, for example, the emperor's second uncle can only have one wife in law.

Jiang Yun, a legitimate child, has the right to inherit all the legal property rights, and the two illegitimate brothers were just two "accidents" when their father was young. After receiving a settlement fee that he would never have to worry about food and clothing in his life, they almost cut off their contacts with the Jiang family.

To this day, Jiang Yun is in her early twenties, it is impossible for Jiang Yun to understand nothing. If anyone in this world really cares about her, it is Li Wei. They have not known each other for a long time. At this stage, they are not too far from being in a super friendly relationship. At this critical period, the consultant randomly caught a royal family inappropriately, but it was Jiang Yun.

Originally, this case would be a big deal, which was Li Wei's expectation. Who was Li Wei? The eldest son of the Li family, a noble family, was in power, and his son was rich. The one who was kidnapped was a lady from the royal family. It was common sense to mobilize a large number of troops.

However, after Ji Cheng watched the video replay on the phone last night, less than five hours later, the other party suddenly contacted Li Wei again, saying that the seventh prince Clauze Witstoke will be on site to command the overall situation within three days.

What is this situation? This is not a mobilization of troops, right? Is there any man in charge of the imperial army? Who is the kidnapper? The prince actually took action himself? Could it be... This guy who is called the Tea Fairy is also interested in Jiang Yun? It's impossible. I haven't 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 call yesterday made him angry, it was at least news about Jiang Yun.

The kidnapper did not explain why he came to blackmail Li Wei. He and she were just friends, both legally and nominally, in fact, they were just friends. According to the kidnapper's remarks and attitudes, if Jiang Yun had no direct relatives who could blackmail, the kidnapper could directly blackmail the government. Therefore, according to the general idea, it must be Jiang Yun that said Li Wei's name to the kidnapper. This is her asking for help. Li Wei is the only person she can think of.

This made Li Wei happy in his sadness. Once the good show of hero saving beauty was staged, this woman was at her fingertips, but the problem now was the various abnormal remarks and demands of the kidnapper.

Suppose the prince's arrival was not because he and Jiang Yun were old acquaintances, but because of the kidnapper in the video. Combining the man's behavior and performance, he was undoubtedly a member of an extremely dangerous and crazy resistance organization, at least at the level of a small leader.

…………

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Li Wei sat on the sofa in his living room, his palms covered in cold sweat.

The phone found from the base of the coffee machine is placed on the coffee table. HL has installed a wiretap machine on it, and a whole monitoring team is arranged around it. He is always ready to start tracking the signal source and find out the location of the kidnappers when the phone is connected.

Only Ji Cheng, the person in charge of the scene, knew in his heart that the level of the prisoner in this case was "Danger Level 6", while others, including HL staff, the fighters on standby, and Li Wei, only learned the name "Tianyi" from Ji Cheng. As for the details of this guy, to be honest, it was not intentionally necessary to keep it confidential, but Ji Cheng was not clear either.

The ringtone rang, and there seemed to be a string in everyone present's mind.

Li Wei looked at Ji Cheng's gesture. When the surveillance team was ready, Ji Cheng nodded. Li Wei put his phone on the coffee table and pressed the hands-free. He leaned closer and said, "I am Li Wei."

Tianyi's voice came into everyone present's ears, and he spoke, "Listen to your first proposition - your life is worth only one can."

Li Wei 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 who was tracking the phone: "What does this mean?"

Tianyi replied: "Literally. Then... the next time is left to you to prove the authenticity of this proposition." He raised his voice slightly and said: "Captain Ji, please prepare a helicopter for Mr. Li within twenty minutes, and within one hour, and land at the place indicated on the text message."

After saying that, Tianyi seemed to be hanging up the phone. Just as everyone was shocking why Tianyi knew the surname of the person in charge in the room, Ji Cheng was the first to react. He simply interrupted and said, "Mr. Tianyi, we need to confirm whether the hostages are still alive and safe." On the one hand, he wanted to face the other directly and give a certain degree of shock, and on the other hand, he tried to delay the time as much as possible.

Unexpectedly, the next second, a "pop" sounded across the phone, and then a short scream from a woman rang out.

Everyone understands that the hostage was slapped in the face.

Li Wei's anger exploded instantly, and he picked up his phone and yelled: "You bastard! I..."

Tianyi interrupted, "Remember, you did not question my power. I said that the hostage is still alive, she is alive, repeatedly annoyed me with boring things, and only make fun of myself. Do it according to the rules of the game and my guidance, and you will eventually get a satisfactory result. But if you still ask for confirmation of the hostage safety in every call, or bargain with me, and use the negotiation expert's set to waste my time, I don't know what I will do next." After that, he hung up.

Li Wei really wanted to smash his phone hard, but he couldn't, so he could only kick the sofa a few times and vent his anger.

One of the surveillance team spoke at this time: "Sir, you cannot track the signal source. He must have blocked us with special technical means."

Li Wei turned to stare at them: "What did you say! What did you eat for?!"

"Please calm down, Mr. Li." Ji Cheng stood in front of Li Wei and stopped him before he said something even more unpleasant.

Ji Cheng always gives people a very calm feeling. A very reliable person can hold the scene as soon as he speaks: "This situation is also normal. Since the other party clearly stated that he is not afraid of being tracked, it means that he is prepared."

Li Wei is a person with status after all. Anyone who wants some face has to pretend to be not cultivated. Since Chief Ji has spoken and it is reasonable, he took advantage of the situation and put it into practice, so he tidied up his clothes and said to the surveillance personnel: "Sorry, I'm too impulsive."

Ji Cheng, an experienced man in dealing with the matter, continued: "It is understandable to human nature." He changed the subject and said to his subordinates: "Contact the helicopter, check the number of the text message, and immediately send a group of people to the location in the text message to investigate, but do not alert the enemy."

He turned to Li Wei and said, "Mr. Li, you take a break first. We will set off when the helicopter arrives. The kidnapper's behavior is unpredictable, but according to the anti-reconnaissance techniques that are often used in such cases, he may require you to act alone in a while. It is hard to say whether there will be any danger. I asked my men to prepare a bulletproof vest with a tracker and eavesdropping device on it. You'd better wear it in it before departure."

The sound of the slap just now echoed in Li Wei's mind, and he was restless, just nodding and didn't say anything.
