Chapter 18: The Plague of Innocence

In the luxury suite on the top floor of the Jade Emperor International Hotel, Wei Hailong and Wei Chuanzhi sat on the sofa in the living room, waiting for news from Fan Canghai.

Early this morning, Fan Canghai left the hotel and rushed to Tianshan. Old Man Fan was really worried that his granddaughter would kill him if he was asked to wait in the hotel again.

He had to go out and look for it, even if it was clueless. He needs to keep himself busy.

Now, it's night, and Fan Canghai still hasn't returned. They talked on the phone several times during the day, but Fan Canghai, Huzi and the others had not yet discovered Wei Rulan's whereabouts. Later, the phone could not be reached, indicating that the phone was not in the service area.

Waiting is anxiety-inducing most of the time, and waiting like today's can be suffocating.

In addition, what made them particularly worried was that the kidnappers did not call for ransom all day today. This is somewhat out of the ordinary. According to common sense, the kidnappers should be in a hurry at this time and should be urging for ransom.

Although the kidnappers said that tomorrow noon was the final deadline, Mr. Wei and the two did not think that the kidnappers would have the patience to wait for the last moment. Because the longer it drags on, the greater the risk of the kidnappers being exposed.

From morning until now, the kidnappers have not made a single call. Could it be that the kidnappers realized the danger, tore up the ticket, and fled?

Obviously, it cannot be ruled out that such a thing will happen. But the problem is that there is no specific information about the kidnappers from the police, which means that the police have not found any trace of the kidnappers.

In the morning, according to the information provided by Li Jingxi, the police went to the place where the kidnappers kidnapped Wei Rulan to check. It was found that the kidnappers had long since disappeared, and the police did not find any valuable clues about the whereabouts of the kidnappers at the scene.

If they hadn't been discovered by the police, the kidnappers shouldn't have torn up the ticket now and fled in panic. After all, if they dared to kidnap Wei Rulan, they must have known her background in advance, so naturally they would not be frightened by her background. Otherwise, the kidnapping would not have been committed.

If the kidnappers didn't tear up the ticket and were still waiting for the ransom, then why didn't they call for the ransom all day? Could it be because there was no signal in the mountains? But if they couldn't be contacted, it meant that the kidnappers still couldn't get the ransom, and the kidnappings carried out by the kidnappers were also meaningless.

The above questions made the father and son puzzled. Wei Hailong and Wei Chuanzhi discussed many possibilities, but before Fan Canghai returned, any speculation could only be speculation, and it could not be confirmed.

In addition, what surprised them was that there was news circulating today that the kidnapping was instigated by Wang Fusheng, the king of Hetian Jade, behind the scenes.

The reliability of this news has not yet been confirmed. However, as the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves, if there is no reason, how can such news spread?

"Dad, what do you think it means to bow to you when Li Qingyang leaves in the afternoon?" Wei Chuanzhi suddenly asked Old Man Wei.

In the afternoon, Li Qingyang personally brought the sheriff of Wushi to visit the door, on the one hand, he expressed the city's condolences, and on the other hand, he told Mr. Wei that he would go all out to search and rescue Wei Rulan as soon as possible.

Li Qingyang's arrival is to show the Wei family an attitude, that is, Wushi attaches great importance to this matter.

In this regard, Mr. Wei expressed his gratitude, and hoped that the Wushi police would be able to communicate with the Wei family in a timely manner after discovering any valuable information.

When the sergeant who came with Li Qingyang heard this, he immediately assured Mr. Wei and stressed once again that he would mobilize all police forces to bring the criminals to justice as soon as possible.

Before leaving, when he was about to walk to the door, Li Qingyang suddenly turned around, bowed deeply to Old Man Wei, and said at the same time: "Old Man Wei, I'm really sorry. ”

At that time, Old Man Wei's father and son listened to Li Qingyang's words, and they were a little inexplicable.

"Are you thinking about this too?" asked Old Man Wei rhetorically.

"Yes, I think Li Qingyang's actions at that time were a little abnormal, and what he said was a little inexplicable. Wei Chuanzhi replied, and then said: "He is the leader of Wushi, and coming to visit him in person has already shown the attitude of Wushi." Why do you say, 'He's really sorry'?"

"yes. Old Man Wei glanced at Wei Chuanzhi. His son's heart is as careful as a hair, which makes him very pleased.

He continued: "Judging from Li Qingyang's behavior at that time, he bowed on behalf of him personally, and he spoke in a personal tone, which really did not conform to the rules of officialdom. ”

However, to a person like Li Qingyang, what he says and acts must mean something, and he will never say something meaningless or do something meaningless for no reason. So, I thought, he must be hinting at something. Wait for Wei Rucheng to come, and you can ask him about Li Qingyang again. ”

really responded to that sentence, said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.

As soon as Old Man Wei's words fell, he heard a knock at the door, and then a bodyguard invited Wei Rucheng in. Because the two sides made an appointment to meet, Wei Chuanzhi had already told the bodyguard at the door that once Wei Rucheng came, he would directly invite him in.

When they saw Wei Rucheng again, the two of them found that he was also bloodshot and tired. It can be seen that he didn't have a good rest last night, and I'm afraid he has been running around all day today.

Wei Chuanzhi poured him a glass of water and said, "Brother Wei, take a sip of tea first." ”

Wei Rucheng was obviously thirsty, he was not polite, he picked up the teacup and drank it all. Then, with a long sigh of relief, he said:

"Brother Chuanzhi, thank you. Elder Wei, I haven't received any news from the kidnappers today, and my heart is always up and down. I was afraid that they would call, but now I am looking forward to them calling. ”

"If it happens, it's normal for people to be worried. Still, let's put our worries aside and think about how to deal with them. Old Man Wei said.

"That's what you always say. Wei Rucheng stretched out his hand and touched the sweat on his forehead, and continued: "Presumably your elder brother and Brother Chuanzhi have heard about it, and there is news that Wang Fusheng instructed this kidnapping. Today, in addition to waiting for the kidnapper's call, I spent the whole day trying to find a way to investigate the authenticity of this news. I haven't found tangible evidence yet, but I have three things to hear. ”

"The first thing is that Wang Fusheng has a subordinate named He Kun, and he has been preparing to implement something recently, which seems to be related to the Tianshan Mountains, and the specific details are unknown. ”

"The second thing is that there is a broker named Liu Ancheng in the underground black market of Wushi, who specializes in accepting customers' entrustment to find someone to help do something that cannot see the light. This man has been gone for the past two days. Some people say that Liu Ancheng was entrusted a few days ago to find a group of people to do things, first looking for locals, and then replaced them with outsiders, saying that he wanted a new face. ”

"The third thing is that He Kun has a subordinate named Ah Kui, who has also disappeared recently. He was seen once appearing near Liu Ancheng's home. ”

After Wei Rucheng finished speaking, he picked up the teapot by himself, first refilled the water for Old Man Wei and Wei Chuanzhi, and then poured himself another cup. Then he picked up the teacup and drank it down. Seeing that he has to come out, he was so busy this day that he probably didn't even have the time to drink water.

Seeing this, Wei Chuanzhi poured him another glass.

"Elder Wei, let you laugh. I'm really thirsty. Wei Rucheng said, picked up the teacup again, and took a few sips.

"Rucheng, these three things you said are very important. Although this is not direct evidence pointing to Wang Fusheng, it at least shows that he has some suspicion. Old Man Wei groaned slightly, and then said:

"If these three things are related, then one possible situation is that Wang Fusheng asked He Kun to find someone, and this person named Liu Ancheng was the broker who helped He Kun find someone, and after the incident, He Kun asked this subordinate named Ah Kui to get rid of Liu Ancheng, and then arranged for Ah Kui to escape. ”

Wei Rucheng agreed with Old Man Wei's judgment and said, "Old Wei, I think so too. In this case, it is possible that the news circulating outside is true. I have asked Ssangyong to stop supplying fuel to Wang Fusheng's gas station, just to show an attitude. At the same time, I was telling him that I doubted him. Because I don't have any evidence in my hand now, I want to force him to move and see if he will show his feet. ”

"Brother Wei, I agree with your approach. In addition, I think we can also start from two aspects, one is to find the whereabouts of this Liu Ancheng, or Liu Ancheng's body, and the other is to find the whereabouts of this Ah Kui. If you can arrest Ah Kui back, it means that you have a direct human witness. Wei Chuanzhi said, and then added:

"Wushi is your territory, brother, I'm afraid you still need to worry about finding Liu Ancheng. For Ah Kui, you only need to find out where he left Wushi, and I'll do the rest.

"Regarding Liu Ancheng's whereabouts, since Ah Kui has appeared around his house, I believe that there will be something to gain from the monitoring of the intersections around his house. As for Ah Kui's whereabouts, now, you can only check from the train station, airport and other places. Of course, it is also possible that in the end, the investigation of the two will be brought together in one place. “

After listening to Wei Chuanzhi's suggestion, Old Man Wei nodded. Wei Rucheng also admired it in his heart, thinking that the name of the 'Webster's Five Tigers' was by no means a wasted name.

The three of them discussed the specific details and finally reached a plan of action. Since the kidnapping case, they have been passively beaten, and now that they have the direction of attack, they naturally have to launch a counterattack.

Seeing that things finally had some eyebrows, the hearts that the three of them had been carrying were also relieved a little.

Wei Rucheng was about to leave, but Wei Chuanzhi said again: "Brother Wei, please wait a while." Are you familiar with Li Qingyang's situation?"

Wei Rucheng's base camp is in Wushi, and he is naturally a treasure of the situation of the top leader in Wushi.

"Li Qingyang was transferred from other provinces to Wushi five years ago. This person has a very strong ability to work, and after coming to Wushi, he quickly opened up the situation, so that the economic development of Wushi in recent years is changing with each passing day. In addition, he is an honest official, never puts up a stand in front of the people, and often makes private visits to inspect the work of some departments and listen to the voices of the people. Now, he is very popular with the people of Wushi,"

"Some time ago, there were rumors that he might be promoted to reuse. However, now that such a major kidnapping incident has occurred in Wuhan, especially involving investors from other places, some people may question the business environment of Wuhan, and then question Li Qingyang's performance. Therefore, there are certain variables whether he can be promoted in the future. ”

After listening to Wei Rucheng's introduction, Wei Chuanzhi and Old Man Wei glanced at each other, and then politely sent Wei Rucheng away.

After returning to the room, Wei Chuanzhi said to the old man: "Dad, it seems that we still think too simple about this matter, Rulan may have suffered an unjustified disaster this time and has become a pawn in the struggle of some people." ”

Old Man Wei said with a worried face: "Yes, this is also what worries me the most. If the gangsters are just trying to make money, we are just breaking the money. However, if someone wants to take the opportunity to make trouble, it must be hoping that the matter will get as big as possible, and Rulan is worried about her life. “

The old man looked out the window at the night, his face gloomy and terrible. In recent years, he began to gradually transition the management of the company to his five sons, but he did not fully retire. However, now someone dares to blatantly do something to Tenglong International, and actually dares to use his baby granddaughter as a chess piece, are they bullying themselves for being old?

After a long time, Old Man Wei took out a special satellite phone, dialed it, and said to the person on the other end of the phone word by word: "Notify the 365 department, and immediately analyze all the people related to Li Qingyang in Wushi, including allies, opponents, friends, enemies, etc., everything that can be found, and conduct a systematic and comprehensive analysis." Focus on the analysis of which faction he belongs to, and which faction he will benefit from if he suffers. The results of the analysis were reported directly to me. ”

After speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

The 365 department is a special department of Tenglong International, a mysterious department. No one knows where it is, who it consists of, and how many there are except the old man. This department has always existed, and it seems to have never existed.

This time, Wei Hailong was really angry.
