Lu Damin has been kidnapped!

The news swept through the banquet as quickly as a hurricane.

When Xu Taiping knew the news, many people also received the news, and the atmosphere of the entire banquet suddenly became solemn and serious.

"How could you be kidnapped?" asked Xu Taiping.

"I heard that when he was going to pick up his girlfriend, he was kidnapped downstairs at his girlfriend's house, and the robbers kidnapped him and robbed him of his car!" Jennifer said.

"Now, have the police locked down the location of the robbers?" asked Xu Taiping.

"Not yet. Jennifer said.

"Not yet?" I think his car is a Ferrari, right? It's not easy to lock such a good car?" asked Xu Taiping.

"The surveillance system in Los Angeles is not well developed, because it involves privacy, so many places are not allowed to install surveillance, and the robbers are very experienced, and it is difficult to lock Lu Damin's car for a while. Jennifer said.

"Is there any information about the kidnappers?" asked Xu Taiping.

"No... But in terms of their methods, they should be veterans, and I'm watching the whole thing go now, and I'll tell you what's new!" Jennifer said.

"Okay!" Xu Taiping said, hanging up the phone.

At this moment, several international students ran in front of Xu Taiping.

"Brother Xu, Damin has been kidnapped!" said an international student excitedly.

"I know about it. Xu Taiping said in a deep voice, "But now the police are actively solving the case, don't worry!"

"The police car in Los Angeles can't be counted on!" said an international student, shaking his head, "There have been five cases of Chinese students being kidnapped so far this year, and not a single case has been solved until now, and finally a ransom was paid to get the person back." ”

"Five incidents?" Xu Taiping asked in surprise, "Why are there so many?"

"Because the police in Los Angeles don't have the heart to solve the case at all, you just wait and see, the police in Los Angeles will definitely advise Damin's parents to give a ransom, because as long as the ransom is given, Damin will be released, and their police will save trouble. The international student said.

"Is there anything else like this?" Xu Taiping frowned and said, "After the ransom is paid, won't the police continue to investigate the case?" asked Xu Taiping.

"I've heard that these kidnappers are all local gangsters in Los Angeles, and their relationship with the local police is very complicated, so unless it's a ticket ramp, the police generally don't care much about these things. A Chinese on the side said.

"There have been so many kidnappings this year, all because the police didn't even think about arresting people, and I wonder if these kidnappings could have been done by the same group. Someone said.

"What if the ransom is not paid?" asked Xu Taiping.

"I said that I would tear up the ticket, but all the kidnapping cases so far this year have been ransom paid, and they have all been released, and it is only 10 million US dollars, so it shouldn't be that the ransom has not been paid, right?" someone said.

Xu Taiping frowned and said, "You guys go back to your seats and sit down first, and I'll go find out the situation!"

After speaking, Xu Taiping picked up his mobile phone and turned around and walked out of the banquet hall.

Xu Taiping called Razor.

"Do you know that a man named Lu Damin has been kidnapped?" asked Xu Taiping.

"Well, I see, the other party is asking for a ransom of $10 million. The razor on the other end of the phone said.

"I heard that the Los Angeles police don't solve the case?" Xu Taiping asked.

"It's not that the case can't be solved, it's just that the case is difficult to solve, if a ransom is given, the kidnappers will not tear up the ticket, and the kidnapped are all Chinese, so the Los City police will generally recommend a ransom, so that they can save trouble, and secondly, they can also ensure the safety of the hostages. Razor said.

"Didn't Guoan plan to arrange for someone to rescue him?" asked Xu Taiping.

"In criminal cases that occur in other countries, our general purpose is to urge the local police to investigate, which is what the police in their country need to do, and what we do is generally something related to national security. We have now urged the Los Angeles police, however, I think this time it should be the same as before, give a ransom, and then the kidnappers will release them, we have nothing to do about it, Chinese in Western countries, many times, are treated as chickens that will lay golden eggs, every year against the Chinese of various kidnapping cases, more than 100 cases around the world, this one is related to the inaction of the local police, the other is that the Chinese who go abroad are generally rich, and they are also generous abroad, which is easy to attract the attention of local criminal groups. Razor said.

"Okay. Xu Taiping sighed, he actually didn't have much to do about the situation that the Chinese encountered overseas, after all, the world is so big, and everyone knows that the Chinese are rich, he may be able to destroy one or two criminal groups, but what's the use of this? Without the cooperation of the local police, there is no point in what he does personally.

Hearing that Lu Damin was kidnapped before, Xu Taiping was quite nervous, and now he heard that as long as he gave money to Lu Damin, he could be released, although Xu Taiping was a little angry, but he also knew that this was indeed the best way at present, if he was asked to save Lu Damin, in such a big city, it might take several hours to find Lu Damin alone, and the time given by the robbers was only three hours, which was not enough at all.

The problems that can be solved with money are not problems, since the razor has already said, the robbers will release people if they give money, so Xu Taiping's heart can be regarded as letting go.

Xu Taiping returned to the banquet hall.

"Rest assured, Damin should be released by the robbers soon. Xu Taiping said.

The people around nodded their heads, and they all thought that the robbers would release Lu Damin soon.

"Why do I feel so aggrieved!" Xu Taiping frowned and said to Guo Yunpeng beside him.

"Why are you aggrieved?" asked Guo Yunpeng.

"Isn't it embarrassing that someone kidnapped someone and can only spend money to settle it?"

After all, this is someone else's country, not our country, and if this kind of thing happened in China, the police might do this? Since the police here don't care much, then no matter how much you do personally, it's useless for you to do anything. Guo Yunpeng said.

"Indeed!" Xu Taiping nodded, to maintain social security and stability, the most important thing to rely on is the police, if the police do not act, it is useless for others to do anything, just like Jiangyuan City, now Jiangyuan City is in good order, on the one hand, Taiya Group is constantly managing the entire rivers and lakes, on the other hand, the police have made a difference, so that under the coordination of each other, the security of the entire Jiangyuan City will continue to improve.

Because of such a thing, the people present are not in the mood to eat and drink, everyone is waiting for the final result, although according to the previous management, as long as the person who gives money will be fine, but, before the real meeting of people, everyone's hearts are still hanging.

As time passed, more and more news was spread to the banquet hall.

"The robbers raised the ransom to 20 million!" said someone excitedly.

Million?

Everyone present gasped, 20 million US dollars is equivalent to more than 100 million yuan, the previous kidnapping cases, but did not ask for such a high ransom, the most one is only 8 million US dollars, this time it costs 20 million US dollars, these kidnappers have too much appetite, right?

After that, someone screamed again.

"I just got the news that Damin is in his house, no, he is not going to pay the ransom!" someone shouted.

"Don't pay the ransom?" Xu Taiping's pupils shrank, and then he walked up to the person who spoke reluctantly and asked, "What you said is true?"

"It's true, I'm in the same place as Damin, my dad knows Damin's dad, they're together now, before 10 million US dollars, Damin's dad didn't say he wouldn't give the ransom, but now it's raised to 20 million US dollars, Damin's dad said he couldn't afford to pay. The man said.

"How can you not be able to pay, is it good that Damin's father's family has a property of more than one billion!" someone said.

"But his dad just said he wasn't going to pay!" the man continued.

"You should always pay attention to the situation on Damin's father's side, and I'll make a call. Xu Taiping said and walked out of the banquet hall again.

Xu Taiping called Razor. Now the only person who can be the first to know the situation is probably the razor.

"We also just got the news that the robbers raised the ransom, and Lu Damin's father, Lu Kang, did not plan to pay the ransom, and now the problem has been transferred to the Los Angeles police, Lu Kang does not plan to pay the ransom, then the Los Angeles police must increase their efforts to hunt down the kidnappers, this is a good way, at least let the Los Angeles police really pay attention to this matter, instead of letting the people on our side simply pay the money to that person, but there is also a risk, once the robbers learn of the specific situation, it is possible to tear up the ticket. Razor said on the other end of the phone.

"That Lu Kang, is it to put pressure on the Los Angeles police, so he didn't pay the ransom?" asked Xu Taiping.

"I really can't say for sure, I've investigated, this Lu Damin is an illegitimate son of Lu Kang, he has no inheritance rights, Lu Kang is not bad to him, but Lu Kang has a wife and doesn't like this Lu Damin, so Lu Damin was finally sent out of the country by Lu Kang to study abroad, and it is possible that Lu Kang's wife is preventing Lu Kang from paying a ransom of 20 million, of course, this is just my personal speculation. Razor said.

"That means that now whether Lu Damin lives or dies can only depend on the Los Angeles police?" asked Xu Taiping.

"Well, I have another concern about this. Razor said.

"What are you worried about?" asked Xu Taiping.

"I'm worried that the kidnappers will be desperate to tear up the ticket, because, in the previous several kidnappings against the Chinese, the kidnappers have received the ransom, and it is the first time they have encountered this kind of non-payment of the ransom.

"Tear up the ticket directly?" Xu Taiping looked stunned.
