Chapter 746: Clever Tricks to Rescue the Hostages (Part I)

"Teacher Zhou, what did the other party say?"

After the call between Teacher Zhou and the kidnappers ended, Yi Yang hurriedly asked.

Teacher Zhou replied: "He asked me if the things were ready, and I told him that he was already ready, just waiting to redeem my son." ”

Yi Yang nodded and said, "Well, this can prompt them to make an exchange early and release the hostages." Did the other party say anything? ”

Teacher Zhou said: "He only urged me to prepare things and wait to exchange them with them, and didn't say anything else. ”

Yi Yang groaned: "I guess they will call soon to talk to you about the specific exchange, they are really going to commit crimes, the hostages are far away in the UK, but the transaction is in China." ”

Bai Wenchao accosted: "The person who came to get the things must be the Eighth Master's subordinates, and the one who kidnapped Xiao Tao in the UK may be a killer hired by him, or of course it may be a gangster he sent to the UK to commit crimes." ”

Yi Yang said: "None of this is important, the important thing is to rescue Xiao Tao safely from them." ”

"How can I save it?" Bai Wenchao was guilty, "The hostages are thousands of miles away in Europe, and none of us are there, so we can only make a deal with the kidnappers and hand over the precious jade to you—do you really want to give them the jade cabbage of infinite value as they demanded, and use it in exchange for hostages?" ”

Yi Yang shook his head vigorously and said, "Of course I won't give them anything, we can negotiate terms with the other party, instead of compromising step by step." Teacher Zhou, Xiaochao, can you find such a piece of jade? ”

"What jade?" Bai Wenchao was surprised.

Yi Yang said: "It's a jade cabbage like Teacher Zhou." ”

"Emerald cabbage?" Bai Wenchao smiled bitterly, "That's a unique treasure, where can I find such a good jade for a while?" ”

Yi Yang smiled slightly: "Of course I didn't let you find the exact same treasure jade, that kind of treasure jade is rare, it is rare to see, how easy is it to find it?" ”

"And what do you mean?" Bai Wenchao looked at him suspiciously.

Yi Yang said: "I asked you to find a jade cabbage with a similar shape, it's okay to be similar, even if the texture is not jade, it's a forgery." ”

Bai Wenchao suddenly realized: "I know, you are going to find another jade cabbage to replace it, to pass it off as the real thing." ”

"That's right." Yi Yang nodded, "That's what I mean." If you think about it carefully, the people sent by the Eighth Master to collect the stolen jade should be just ordinary bandits, they don't have a good eye, and it is difficult to identify the authenticity of the jade, let alone in such a hurry, so it is almost the same to replace the exchange with an ordinary jade. If you can't recruit a decent replacement, it doesn't matter, just use real jade as an exchange, just in case, something happens. ”

He is highly skilled and bold, even if the things he is staring at are taken away by the eighth master's people, he is sure to chase them back, but this is not a perfect strategy, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no unexpected things at that time.

And that jade is priceless, naturally it can't be taken away by bandits, and it must be foolproof.

If you can find a substitute for the real thing, then you are not afraid of anything unexpected.

Bai Wenchao replied: "I'm afraid it's hard to find, I've seen the same jade cabbage before, but I forgot to see it anywhere, unless I go to the jade market and buy a handicraft with a similar shape." ”

"Teacher Zhou, what about you? You are a big expert in the jade collecting world, you should know where to find this kind of jade cabbage, right? Yi Yang looked at Teacher Zhou and said.

Teacher Zhou shook his head in a daze and replied, "I don't know who has the same jade cabbage in their hands, but I can immediately contact my friends in the industry and ask them to see who has them." ”

Yi Yang nodded and said, "Well, you can contact as much as possible, if you ask, accept it at a high price and use it as a prop." ”

"Okay, I'll call and ask." Teacher Zhou nodded hurriedly in agreement.

After discussing it, he made a few phone calls in a hurry.

The hard work paid off, and in the end he still asked for one.

After asking them about the jade cabbage they wanted, Mr. Zhou asked the friend to send it over, and first gave it to Yi Yang for identification, and if it could be used, he would immediately accept it at a high price.

After talking to the man, it didn't take long for the other party to hurriedly come to Mr. Zhou's jade shop with jade.

"Xiao Yi, how is it?" After seeing the jade cabbage, Teacher Zhou asked.

Yi Yang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, this is what you want!" ”

What appeared in front of them at this moment was a jade jade carving, shaped like a cabbage.

Although the color and texture of the jade cabbage are very different from Mr. Zhou's ancestral jade, it looks extremely similar in terms of size and shape.

It is difficult for ordinary people to see the big difference between jade like this, let alone a layman.

"Then I'll take it down." Teacher Zhou said with a slightly relieved look on his face.

"Well, you can start using it." Yi Yang nodded.

Mr. Zhou immediately talked to the man about the price, and the other party bid 280,000 yuan, and after several rounds of bargaining, the price finally reached 120,000 yuan, which was more than half of the original price.

At this juncture, the man will not give in no matter what, and 120,000 is the lowest price.

At the end, Yi Yang said: "120,000 is 120,000, it should be about the same." Teacher Zhou, do you have enough money, if not, I'll give you a cushion first. ”

Teacher Zhou shook his head and said, "No, I have opened a jade shop for so many years, and I still have some money to save money." ”

Yi Yang said: "That's good, pay him, let's take the jade." ”

Under Yi Yang's greeting, Mr. Zhou quickly issued a cash check to the man, and after getting the money, the seller happily said goodbye and left.

After seeing the man leave the jade shop, Yi Yang exhaled and said, "It's finally done, now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, wait for the kidnapper's second call." ”

In fact, as soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Zhou's phone rang.

"Someone called, it was an unfamiliar number, it should be a kidnapper." Teacher Zhou couldn't help but said in a panic.

Yi Yang looked very calm, as if nothing had happened, and said: "Give me the phone, I'll answer this call, anyway, the old fox of the eighth master must have known that I would help you and meddle in this matter, so whoever will answer it is the same." ”

"yes, okay." Without hesitation, Teacher Zhou handed the phone to Yi Yang and asked him to answer the call.

After taking the phone, Yi Yang scratched the answer button and turned on the hands-free.

Teacher Zhou and Bai Wenchao stood aside, very quiet, almost holding their breath, for fear that the sound of breathing would alarm the kidnappers on the other end of the phone and cause some bad effects.

"Mr. Zhou, are you ready for the jade we want?" Immediately, I only heard a gloomy man's voice on the phone, the voice was very unfamiliar, Yi Yang naturally couldn't hear who it was, and he didn't have clairvoyance, so he couldn't see the person talking to him on the other side of the signal.

Yi Yang replied unhurriedly, "The things you want have already been prepared. ”

"Who are you? You are not Mr. Zhou. The man asked warily.

Yi Yang smiled indifferently and said, "Who do you care about who I am and what do you do?" Don't worry, I'm not a policeman, just a friend of Mr. Zhou, he is now so angry with you that he is in the hospital bed, I'm afraid I can't talk to you, so now he has handed over all the things here to me, and I will handle it, as for the jade you wanted, it is naturally in my hand, and I will give it to you for him and use it to exchange for hostages. ”

"Well, whoever gives us things is the same." The man said, "Listen, put the jade in our designated place by noon tomorrow." ”

Yi Yang smiled, but did not reply.

"What are you laughing at? Can you even laugh? The man said coldly, "This is a very strict matter, I don't think you want anything to happen to the hostages, right?" If our people don't get what we want tomorrow at noon, then don't blame us for being polite. ”

Yi Yang said: "You have always been putting forward conditions, as a party to the transaction, do we also have to put forward some conditions?" If you don't let go of the hostages, you won't get anything, will you? What you want is a big treasure of infinite value, how can I say that I will give it to you? We have to see the safety of the hostages before we can make an exchange with you. ”

"You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me now, do what we say, if you are not honest and want to play any tricks, then don't blame us for tearing up the ticket in the end and letting you collect the corpse!" The man replied viciously.

Yi Yang didn't panic at all, and said, "Are you threatening me?" If something is given to you, you are not the same as you can tear up the ticket. Sue your master, you want your request, I also have my request, if you don't agree to the conditions I put forward, then don't think about getting this jade, if you hurt the hostages, then you will die, and you will not escape the law in the end! ”

With that, he hung up the phone without saying anything.

"Brother Yi Yang, why did you hang up the phone?" Seeing this, Bai Wenchao couldn't help but wonder.

Yi Yang said: "Be resolute, the more you compromise, the more arrogant they become, now that the jade is still in our hands, they don't dare to embarrass the hostages, otherwise they will not only not get the jade, but also fall into a serious crime, they will not be so stupid." ”

Bai Wenchao nodded and said, "That's right, you can't blindly compromise with the kidnappers." ”

Yi Yang said: "You wait and see, soon they will call and negotiate terms with us." ”

Sure enough, less than an hour later, the man called again and asked directly, "What conditions do you have?" ”

Yi Yang replied solemnly: "The jade can be given to you, but there is one condition, that is, when your people see the jade and get it, let him go back to school." ”

Now it was the man's turn to laugh and say, "Isn't that how it should be?" One hand delivery and one hand release, we are sincere in our dealings, and we will never lie to you. ”

Yi Yang said lightly: "I believe that you don't dare to let go, if you don't let people go, then you can't take things away when you see them." There is also a small request, I am now going to speak to the hostage to prove his safety. ”

The man was also very happy, and agreed, "Yes, I'll give him the phone later, and you can talk to him to prove that he is still alive and well." ”

After a while, Yi Yang really talked to Mr. Zhou's son Zhou Tao on the phone.

Hearing his son's voice, Teacher Zhou, who was standing quietly on the side, was excited and very happy at the same time.

From Zhou Tao's words, it can at least be heard that he is still good and sound now.

At this point, Yi Yang also breathed a sigh of relief.

Later, Yi Yang "discussed" with the kidnappers on the phone for a while, and set to make an exchange at noon tomorrow.

That night, Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao discussed countermeasures carefully, and after they got up the next day, their rescue operation was officially launched.
