Chapter 45: Kidnapping
Two days later. Jing Siqi and Ye Ye drove Lu Qingzi to go to school at Zhaosi International Middle School.
On the way back, Jing Siqi squinted at Ye Ye from time to time in the rearview mirror, as if he wanted to stop talking, and finally couldn't help but say his heart: "I found that I can't understand you a little, what did you do before?
Ye Ye shrugged his shoulders and said, "My past resume is in the personnel file, you can call it up and see it yourself." ”
"Cut!" Jing Siqi glanced at him and pouted, "You know foreign languages, you are good, and you know business things." I've never seen a soldier as capable as you!"
"Then haven't you seen it now?" Ye Ye said lightly without moving.
"Come and help me. I think it's too condescending to be in the security team with your ability. Jing Siqi paused slightly, and his tone was very sincere, "I just returned to China and want to make some achievements, but I am not like my two elder brothers, I don't have my own reliable team in my hands. But I don't want to do worse than my two older brothers, so I need someone like you to help me. ”
Ye Ye knew that the two brothers mentioned by Jing Siqi were referring to her two half-brothers, Jing Sidao and Jing Sixian.
Her eldest brother Jing Sidao and second brother Jing Sixian are also the vice presidents of Jingyang Group, and they are the same as Jing Siqi in terms of job level. But the two of them have been operating within the group for much longer than Jing Siqi, and of course they have much greater actual influence and more resources to mobilize.
Under such an unfavorable premise, if Jing Siqi wants to make achievements that are not weaker than those of his two elder brothers, he needs to redouble his efforts, and of course, he especially needs capable helpers. Whether Jing Siqi can overpower the two elder brothers in terms of actual results is not only a matter of face, but also vaguely directly related to the inheritance of Jingyang Group in the future.
Ye Ye touched his chin and began to consider whether to agree to Jing Siqi's invitation.
The advantage of becoming Jing Siqi's assistant is obvious, he can directly intervene in the high-level affairs of Jingyang Group through Jing Siqi, which is a very convenient condition for completing the task.
But the disadvantages are also obvious, he will be passively involved in the inheritance dispute within the Jing family too early, and will be targeted by Jing Siqi's two powerful elder brothers, which is not a good thing for the execution of the mission.
One pro and one disadvantage, Ye Ye was difficult to make a choice for a while, and did not reply immediately.
At this time, a mobile phone rang in the car. Jing Siqi transferred to the Bluetooth headset and pressed answer.
Just "hey", Jing Siqi only listened to one sentence, and then stepped on the brakes without warning, and the car stopped at the Ring Expressway in an emergency.
Ye Ye was defenseless at this time, and his eyes blackened from the seat belt, and he almost couldn't even breathe.
The shock calmed down for a while, and Ye Ye's stomach full of anger also came up, and he braked on the highway without permission for no reason, which was simply fatal.
Turning his head and glaring at Jing Siqi in annoyance, he found that Jing Siqi's face was pale and his lips were pursed. Ye Ye knew that it was probably a fatal event, and the anger in his heart disappeared at once. Softly asked, "What's wrong?"
"I just got a call that my brother has been kidnapped. Jing Siqi took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said: "My heart is very messy, my hands and feet are weak, and I can't drive the car, come on." ”
Ye Ye also thought about it in his heart, and nodded silently.
After changing seats on the highway, Ye Ye drove back while slowly asking Jing Siqi what was going on.
Jing Siqi's two hands rubbed his knees nervously, and he whispered, "Just now my second brother called and told me that my eldest brother was kidnapped. ”
Ye Ye frowned slightly, and said, "Has the news been confirmed? You also have to guard against someone engaging in fraud, this kind of thing is not uncommon." ”
Jing Siqi bit his lip and nodded: "It's confirmed, the kidnapper sent a video to my second brother's mobile phone, and the person tied up in the video is my eldest brother." ”
Ye Ye thought for a moment and said, "What about the video, your second brother should have forwarded it to you, right?" You can show it to me." ”
Jing Siqi transferred the video received from the mobile phone to the on-board computer and pressed the play button. While driving, Ye Ye watched attentively.
The picture shows a young man tied to a chair behind his back, with a thin face, gloomy eyes, and two thin sword eyebrows slightly drooping, looking not very good.
Before Ye Ye received this undercover mission, he had already familiarized himself with the appearance of various members of the Jing family through the information given by Da Da Chun. He immediately recognized that this person was indeed Jing Siqi's eldest brother and Jing Sidao, the deputy general manager of Jingyang Group.
The duration of the video is very short, only two or three minutes. Judging from the shaking of the picture, it should have been filmed by the kidnappers with a mobile phone.
In addition, there is a subtle detail in which a television is on behind the hostage, which is playing a news channel.
"Interesting. Ye Ye retracted his gaze, held the steering wheel with his left hand, touched his chin with his right hand, thought for a moment and asked, "How much ransom do the kidnappers want?"
"Fifty million. Jing Siqi sighed, "They limit our family to pay before twelve o'clock tonight, and they will tear up the ticket when it is overdue." ”
"It's a good appetite. Ye Ye was not nervous at all, and actually laughed, "With your Jing family's financial resources, the kidnappers don't need 500 million, which is already quite polite." ”
"It's easy for you to say!" The eldest brother was kidnapped, Jing Siqi didn't have any jokes and funny thoughts at the moment, and glanced at Ye Ye fiercely, "No matter how rich a family is, it will be very difficult to come up with a large amount of cash in a short period of time." ”
Ye Ye knew that what Jing Siqi said was the truth, the richer the family, the more important it was to the allocation and use of cash flow. Every one of their income and expenses is planned, and it is very hasty to move out a large amount of cash like this, even for the Jing family, it takes all their strength to barely do it.
"My dad and my brother are already asking people to raise cash separately, and I have to figure out how to make a lump sum of money. I've probably calculated that 50 million cash should be in time to get together, but I'm afraid that if the kidnappers get the money, it will ......."
Jing Siqi shook his head, pursed his lips and didn't say any more, there was deep worry between his eyebrows, and there was no blood on his face.
Ye Ye understood her worries, 50 million was not a big deal for their Jing family, and they were afraid that they would still not be able to save people if they gave money.
It has always been common for kidnappers to tear up tickets after receiving money. They may tear up the ticket in order to avoid revealing their identity, or they may tear up the ticket maliciously for no serious reason, just out of hatred of the rich, and normal people will not expect to tell a gang of kidnappers about any faith.
