Thorn City.

It was past the early hours of the morning, and for the kidnapping of Xia Tianhuo, Xia Libing's third uncle and aunt also ran around all day without rest.

"Xiaoice is asleep, right?" asked the third uncle who had just hung up the phone and walked to sit next to his wife and asked in a low voice.

"Slept. The third aunt nodded, and the frowning brows of the day could not be relaxed, she first went to make a hot drink for the police staff who were still busy in the living room at this time, debugging the equipment, and then came back to sit down and sighed softly: "Xiaoice is also very hard, I received a call in the middle of the night last night, I rushed over directly overnight, and I haven't rested much all day, and it makes people feel distressed to watch." Alas, what a ...... thing."

The third uncle said, "By the way, Xiaoice has been staying in Jianzhou now, is he with the previous Mr. Xiang?"

"Well, I said that I was going to make a breeding research center, and I don't know why Xiaoice suddenly became interested in these things. ”

"Then the two of them...... What's the relationship now?"

"I thought they might already be together. The third aunt said in a deep voice, "But this time...... I asked Xiaoice when she arrived in the morning, Xiao Xiang knew if she knew about this, and she said she knew. Now that you know...... He also asked Xiaoice to come by bus, and no one appeared, which made me feel a little uncomfortable. You also saw how tired you looked when Xiaoice came over in the morning? I think...... Alas, when this matter passes, I still have to have a good chat with Xiaoice when I turn around. ”

The third uncle said, "Mr. Xiang...... Xiao Xiang should have something to do. ”

The third aunt frowned and said, "If he really cares about Xiaoice, what could be more important than this at this time?"

The third uncle said: "Didn't I just call a businessman with Burmese ties who contacted Lao Xu? That person was very enthusiastic and promised to contact a very influential local person in Montamira to help find out the news, and promised to use a more private channel to contact and try not to alarm the kidnappers." When that's done, of course I'm very grateful, but guess what the other person said?"

The third uncle didn't sell it, and said directly: "The other party said that you don't need to be polite, he owes Mr. Xiang a lot of favors, and he should help, let me rest assured that he will do his best." ”

The third aunt was stunned when she heard it: "I owe a favor, what kind of favor?"

The third uncle shook his head: "The other party didn't say it, but this person is an influential boss, and I actually knew it before, so I think it...... What Xiao Xiang is doing, I'm afraid it's not simple. ”

The third aunt was thoughtful.

After getting a call from Xia Libing yesterday to inform them of the situation, the two of them have been busy with this matter, and today the family is like a temporary headquarters, and the two children have been temporarily sent to a friend.

As for Xia Tianhuo's parents, like Xia Libing's parents, they are also abroad, and after being informed by the third uncle and Xia Libing in the morning, they are on the way back at this time, and the kidnappers contacted Xia Libing, thinking that she is the "parent", so everything is currently left to the third uncle to be in charge.

The third uncle first consulted with the Thornton police through his channel, and then got the advice to contact the Chinese consulate in Montamira directly and ask them to help rescue him.

However, what the consulate can do is mainly to urge the local authorities and police to investigate and rescue, and to look more at the action capabilities of relevant local departments, institutions and organizations.

If it is in China, there is no doubt that it is the best choice to call the police in a reliable way and believe that the police are the best choice. Countless cases have proved that if you give all the initiative to the kidnappers and completely rely on the kidnappers' trustworthiness, there is a high probability that both people and money will be lost in the end, not only will the ransom be lost, but the kidnapped relatives may not be able to come back, and the best opportunity for rescue and arrest will be lost.

However, it is based on the strong domestic police control capabilities and the Skynet system and other related assistance systems, if it is a foreign country, especially the local situation is more complicated, and the kidnapper situation is unknown, the third uncle and the third aunt are still a little hesitant to seek help from the local police in Montamira through the consulate.

Of course, because the other party's ransom call was directly to Xia Libing's mobile phone in China, the Thornton police can still provide corresponding technical support to help try to locate the kidnappers, and if necessary, apply for Interpol's help.

However, Interpol's capacity on the ground is very limited, and it only has the function of assisting in the investigation, and it is still up to the local police to rescue people or arrest kidnappers.

So during the day, the third uncle and the third aunt first tried to find a way to find a relationship to see if they could contact the more influential people in Myanmar and Montamira, to see if they could find out the identity and origin of the kidnappers, and even whether it was even possible to contact the kidnappers directly.

If possible, there is a strong local force in Montamira as an intermediary, and on the premise of guarantee, for the sake of safety, paying a ransom for a replacement is also optional.

Although five million US dollars in cash, even if the entire Xia family is mobilized, it will be very difficult and difficult to scrape together in a short period of time. But as long as Xia Tianhuo's safety can be guaranteed, they are still willing to pay such a price.

However, among the people that the third uncle knows, there are few people who do business in Myanmar and have relations with Myanmar, and most of them do some foreign trade orders, and the amount is not large, and they do not directly know the local influential people in Montamira, so they have to inquire through other people, and there is no way to give a direct answer.

The third uncle didn't dare to let them contact them with too much fanfare, and he didn't dare to tell them the specific situation until he was sure that there was a reliable channel, so there was basically no progress.

In the end, it was Lao Xu, a police officer sent by the Thornton police to assist, who set up a line and found a big boss who had a "door" in Montamira.

After chatting for a while, the "doorway" is a local boss named Wu Lun, and when the third uncle asked other people before, he had also heard this name, that is, "if you can contact Wu Lun in Montamira, you can basically find out everything", but no one else has a friendship or contact channel with Wu Lun.

The other party not only has Wu Lun's way, but also behaves very actively and enthusiastically, if it weren't for Lao Xu's thread, and knowing the identity of the other party, the third uncle would have wondered if the other party was a liar.

Now, although the other party only promised to help with all his might, and there was no result, the third uncle's body that had been nervous for a day still relaxed a little - at least he had been busy all day, and it was not considered that he had gained nothing at all.

The only thing that makes him a little puzzled is the degree of initiative of the other party in this matter, because this kind of thing, people who are generally not deeply related to it will not be willing to get involved.

Comprehensively speaking, it can only be said that Xiang Kun's face is particularly large, and the relationship between Xiaoice and Xiang Kun is already known to many people.

But this point also makes it difficult for him to understand, what kind of ability will Xiang Kun have to make such a big boss show such an attitude in front of a third party?

Isn't Xiang Kun a programmer?

When he went to Jianzhou, didn't he go to do farming and restaurants?

Oh, he still seems to be making games?

Could it be that the big boss wants to participate in Xiang Kun's game project?

That's not going to be.

......

Copperstone.

Qi Haoguo, who had just finished talking to Wu Lun on the phone, sat in the study, leaning on the senior chair, slightly fascinated by his eyes, rubbing his chin, thinking about the content of the call between the two just now.

Although Wu Lun is a Burmese national, he has often done business with Chinese for many years, and he also has 1/4 Chinese ancestry, and the two communicate half Chinese and half English, but they do not need translation, and they can basically communicate what needs to be communicated.

Yes, the big boss that the third uncle contacted through Lao Xu and had the "doorway" of the boss of Montamira was Qi Haoguo.

At first, Lao Xu didn't contact Qi Haoguo, and the two of them didn't know each other.

Lao Xu contacted Chu Xiuwen, because he had heard that Chu Xiuwen had done business with Burma before, and even planned to open a factory in Myanmar, so he felt that he might have a way to connect with him, so he helped the third uncle try to contact and ask.

Chu Xiuwen did know a little bit of people in Burma, but like the other people that the third uncle contacted before, they were either not in Montamira, or they were all related to the industry and couldn't help.

When Lao Xu contacted him, he didn't say anything specific or detailed, so this matter was over, and it was normal not to help.

But Chu Xiuwen later learned some information from other friends who had been asked by the third uncle, and found that the one who needed Mengtamira's local relationship was the husband of the vice president of the Third Hospital, that is, Xia Libing's third uncle, and he knew something about the background of the "Doctor Xia" who went to Tongshi Town with Xiang Kun and Chongyun Village together.

Then he realized that something might have happened to the Xia family, so he took the initiative to contact Lao Xu and learned some brief information, knowing that the Xia family had relatives trapped in Montamira.

Chu Xiuwen wanted to contact Xiang Kun to ask about the situation first, but after thinking about it for a while, he changed his mind.

Although he couldn't help himself, he knew that Qi Haoguo had done business in Myanmar before, and the level of contact was very high, so he called him directly.

Chu Xiuwen directly asked him if he had a good relationship with Wu Lun, a local powerful figure in Montamira.

Qi Haoguo's first reaction was to deny it, saying that all the relevant investment cooperation in Myanmar had been collected and there was no contact.

But Chu Xiuwen's sentence "It's related to Xiang Kun's friend Dr. Xia" made Qi Haoguo relieved.

After listening to what Chu Xiuwen said, Qi Haoguo immediately decided to agree to contact Officer Xu, because he knew very well that Doctor Xia was a woman who lived in the same house as Xiang Kun in Chongyun Village, and the relationship between the two was very unusual, which could be a very good opportunity.

Then he spoke directly with Xia Libing's third uncle through Lao Xu, and after communication, he also knew the specific situation of Xia Tianhuo and the predicament they were currently facing, so he promised to help contact Wu Lun, a local tycoon in Montamira, and let him help inquire about the news, and everything was based on Xia Tianhuo's safety.

Qi Haoguo has indeed been investing in Myanmar a few years ago, and has also had some cooperation with Wu Lun, has business dealings, and is even ready to cooperate in building casinos before.

But after the incident a year ago, he not only put away some domestic business, but also basically stopped the business in Myanmar, and the cooperation with Wu Lun also ended directly and unilaterally, but some of the hands have not yet been cleared. So when Chu Xiuwen first called to ask about his relationship in Myanmar, his first reaction was "I'm not, I don't, I took it all."

He really wants to cut himself off from the mercenary who did all kinds of business before, and now he really doesn't want to get involved with some people anymore.

It did take some effort to reconnect with Wu Lun, after all, he didn't think about cooperating in the future when he cut it at the beginning.

However, the previous business in Myanmar does not mean that it can be completely collected, and the benefits that Qi Haoguo is willing to give up will definitely be cheaper for others. Let Wu Lun take over these interests, which is also a big bargaining chip. If he didn't cooperate, Wu Lun wouldn't be able to swallow it all.

Even Qi Haoguo has made preparations, in order to let Wu Lun cooperate, he can also give him some more monetary sweetness, and even paint some big cakes.

But after getting in touch, Qi Haoguo found that although Wu Lun still had a consistent tone and posture on the surface, he knew very well that Wu Lun was doing things, but he clearly felt that this guy actually had a strong willingness to cooperate, as if his phone call was a lifesaver.

This made Qi Haoguo a little puzzled in his heart, could it be that Wu Lun himself had anything to do with this matter?

If this was the case, then he didn't dare to explain the matter to Wu Lun.

Don't be busy and don't help at that time, but it will cause the children of the Xia family to be torn up, then he really can't explain.

......

Montamira.

In the house of the scrap yard.

After getting out of the dream, Xiang Kun walked out of the house directly, went to the jade pendant Nannan, who was still sleeping, first took back the "black circle graffiti", and then directly pushed the sofa where he was sleeping, shook it twice, turned around and walked back to the room "as if nothing happened", and closed the door.

Since he already knew the information he wanted to know in the "dream within a dream", and also carried out the relevant reverse influence, Xiang Kun was pressed for time, so it was naturally impossible for the jade pendant man to continue to sleep, so he quickly woke up and got up to "work".

Of course, on the other hand, for Lao Xia, who was at the house of the third uncle and third aunt in Thornton City at this time, Xiang Kun hoped that she could continue to sleep and raise her spirit.

The jade pendant man sat up from the sofa, his expression was a little dazed, he rubbed his face with both hands, looked at the long-haired man sleeping on the sofa opposite, and the short and sturdy man who didn't know when he moved the recliner back to the house to sleep, and after a while, the dream he had just made suddenly appeared in his mind, and then some thoughts came out irrepressibly.

So he didn't care that it was more than three o'clock in the morning, got up and took out a satellite phone from a box under the TV cabinet, walked to the next room, and turned on the light casually, but flipped the switch a few times and found that the switch seemed to be broken.

He didn't think too much about it, anyway, he was very familiar with this room, and it was the same whether he turned on the light or not, so he took the satellite phone and began to try to contact Brother Kui.

Little did he know that he wasn't the only one in the dark room.

Xiang Kun crossed his arms, leaned against the wall, and looked at the jade pendant man not far away on the phone, without any nervous and worried look.

When he found out that the jade pendant man was going to come to this room with a satellite phone to call, Xiang Kun already had several countermeasures, such as controlling the "super-link" to make a noise in other rooms, and leaving the room quickly when he went to check, but in the end, his choice was to affect the lights in this room through the "super-link", so that it could not be lit, and then hide in the dark to observe.
