Chapter 154: Hostage-taking
Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
"Isn't our ship running a regular route?" After listening to Zhang Dingyun's words, Liao Wanyu couldn't believe it at all, "How can there be pirates?" ”
Zhang Dingyun showed a helpless tone on the other side of the phone, "The ship was hijacked near Rizhao Port, and the ground was contacted an hour ago, and there was no news after that. ”
Liao Wanyu remembered Xie Yuru's batch of "homespun cloth", is all this a coincidence?
The ship to Tianjin was used for both passengers and cargo, and the batch of "homespun cloth" flashed in her mind for a moment, and the rest of her attention had been transferred to the passengers.
"Since it's a hijacking, have you made any requests?" Although she did not manage the shipping side, she knew that the hijacked ship, when it was full, would have three hundred and seventy-six guests and sixty crew members.
Zhang Dingyun was silent for two seconds, "They want all the goods, and they ask us to redeem them at the price of 100,000 yuan for a hostage." ”
Even Liao Wanyu was silent at this time.
All the goods on the ship added up to a lot of value, and the batch of "homespun cloth" was even more valuable. It is also not known whether the people who hijacked the ship have found the "homespun", and if they do, no matter what equipment they are equipped with, it will be even more dangerous and unscrupulous.
And the ransom of nearly 500 people is a sum of money that cannot be mistaken in a short period of time.
Thinking of this, Liao Wanyu suddenly had a thought, but soon, this crazy idea was suppressed by her.
She could imagine the mood of the people on board, the despair of being trapped on the sea, she had felt it herself.
Liao Wanyu hung up the phone and looked at Pete across the desk, she moved the corners of her mouth and pulled out a very reluctant smile, "I'm sorry, I have some more important things to deal with now." I won't mind the photo thing, but I hope you don't take it in secret. ”
She hesitated, "Sister Feifei is a good woman, no matter what happened in the past, it is in the past." I can tell that she really loves you, so I think that's enough. Pete, you saved my life, and it's something I'll never forget. But ......"
Pete is not stupid, of course he understands what Liao Wanyu means, he has never talked to Liao Wanyu, it is clear enough that he did not want to disturb Liao Wanyu.
If Hu Feifei hadn't discovered those photos, this matter might not have been known by Liao Wanyu for the rest of his life.
It's not that he is so considerate of her and doesn't want to embarrass her, but from his point of view, there is no need to tell Liao Wanyu about this matter.
After all, he is the one who will leave, and he will continue to walk towards the next city and the next country, since he can't stay, since he is destined to be an episode with each other, then this little beautiful melody will be played silently in his heart.
"I want you to ...... Don't really mind, and don't avoid me because of this. ”
Liao Wanyu smiled bitterly, she didn't hide from Pete before, but she was really busy at that time, and she didn't have a lot of time to share with friends. Those tiresome balls and dinners always occupy her time for some reasons of interest.
"Pete, let's stop talking about it, let's just ...... Just act as if it didn't happen, do you think it's okay? It doesn't affect our relationship. After speaking, she glanced at the watch on her wrist, "I made an appointment to meet my senior brother, I really have to leave." ”
After speaking, she didn't wait for Pete to react, and stood up first, "I don't think it's necessary to talk to me, maybe you should talk to Sister Feifei." ”
Seeing this, Pete also stood up, but he didn't move, obviously he still had something to say.
Liao Wanyu was anxious, thinking about the situation on Zhang Dingyun's side, "Or let me promise you, when the matter is settled, you still want to talk to me, and I will definitely see you." All right? ”
Her tone was negotiable, because she was always grateful to Pete, and she had to respect him.
Pete got a guarantee and seemed to be relieved, and the two broke up at the gate of Datong Shanghai, one went back to the film company, and the other went to Zhang Dingyun's office.
Liao Wanyu didn't taste Zhang Dingyun's office, but everyone knew her, she hurriedly pushed open the door of the company, saw that the elevator was not on the first floor, and simply took the stairs.
Going up to the fifth floor in one breath, Liao Wanyu was a little gasping, she heard Zhang Dingyun's voice coming from the office at the end of the corridor, his voice was a little loud, but he was not fierce, he was just directing the people below to do things.
"Senior brother."
Liao Wanyu appeared outside the office door, and the people in the office heard her voice, as if they were saved, and greeted her one after another, Zhang Dingyun frowned, "You go out first." ”
"Senior brother, how's it going?"
"I contacted some friends, but it was very difficult to do." He pointed to the map and drew a line between Rizhao and Mokpo, Japan, "I originally wanted to ask my friends from the cruiser fleet for help, after all, they have a training ground in Weihai. But, unfortunately, he rejected me. ”
"Why?"
Zhang Dingyun was a little helpless, "This is not a military act, he has no right to call the shots." ”
Thinking of the line that Zhang Dingyun had just drawn, Liao Wanyu sighed, "So, the Japanese did it?" ”
"It hasn't been determined yet, but the land personnel who received the news from Rizhao Port said that they heard Japanese in a trance."
As soon as the Japanese are involved, this matter is really difficult to handle, and the southern authorities have recently frequently called for Sino-Japanese rapprochement, and the cruiser fleet now belongs to the southern authorities, and of course it will not act on its own.
"What then? Do you want to give them a ransom? Liao Wanyu is very worried that those people may not be released after receiving the ransom.
Zhang Dingyun handed over a thick brown paper folder, "I didn't let the master know about the matter, this is all the funds that can be raised at present." ”
Liao Wanyu glanced at it cursoryly, she knew that Zhang Dingyun had already withdrawn all the liquid funds in her hands, but unfortunately, there was still a big gap between the ransom of nearly 44 million.
"I can transfer a sum of money from Chase Shanghai first." Liao Wanyu said it easily, but she and Zhang Dingyun both knew very well that taking out 30 million funds was almost equivalent to hollowing out the current Datong Shanghai.
It's hard to hide such a thing, and when the news spreads, what awaits Liao Wanyu will be a run. At that time, the credibility of Datong Shanghai plummeted, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to reflexively.
"Nope." Zhang Dingyun refused very quickly, "The shipping has nothing to do with you, I will solve the money matter myself." ”
Liao Wanyu closed the document in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and still said what she thought in her heart, "Senior brother, maybe, I have caused you trouble." This matter may have something to do with me. ”
Zhang Dingyun's eyes trembled as he stared at the desktop, and doubts arose in his heart, could it be that Liao Wanyu knew? It's impossible, no one except him knows the inside story of this matter.
Even the assistant managers under him thought that the ship had really been hijacked.
"How can this matter have anything to do with you, don't think too much about it. The senior brother will find a way to solve it. ”
Liao Wanyu's hand on the table clenched into a fist, her nails picking at her palm, she opened her mouth, and finally told her conjecture.
"Perhaps, not the Japanese. If my actions were found out by the authorities in the South, would this be their way of seizing those weapons? ”
Of course Zhang Dingyun knew that it wasn't, but he showed a confused look, "It's not impossible, but if it is discovered, there won't be only this one action over there." What about him, is he gone? ”
Liao Wanyu sighed softly, it was such a coincidence, Xie Yuru only took Qiao Minzhi to board the train back to the north yesterday, and now he can't be contacted at all.
Every step is calculated, Zhang Dingyun silently glanced at the clock in the office, about two hours, the train will arrive in Xuzhou, and when the time comes, there will be someone to receive Xie Yuru.
All he needs to do is to stabilize Liao Wanyu, and not be found abnormal by his stupid little junior sister.
Fortunately, she is a soft-hearted person, and in the face of more than 400 people who have been held hostage, she should not have the heart to think about Xie Yuru at all now.
This is very good, otherwise, it would be in vain for him, a man so averse to politics, to set up such a game with a certain big man in the southern authorities.
Throughout the game, all the demands he made revolved around this Liao Wanyu, don't let her know the truth, don't hurt her. Otherwise, they wouldn't have had to wait until now.
As early as when those things were sleeping quietly in the warehouse, it was destined that their owners would not be surnamed Xie.
Zhang Dingyun has lived to this day, and he can't talk about being above board, after all, what he values in doing business is the result and the benefit, and he doesn't care too much about what kind of means he actually uses.
In terms of unscrupulous means, he is not like Tang Tingou at all.
Tang Tingou has stubborn self-persistence, he is not an unscrupulous person for the sake of the end, he has a high bottom line of principles. But unfortunately, he never knew that this apprentice of his was not like him in this regard.
Because, he really hid it too well.
Liao Wanyu, who had no idea, sat in front of Zhang Dingyun, but she never thought that her senior brother was actually the initiator of all this accident.
Her thoughts were all on the hijacked ship, on the more than 400 hostages whose fate was uncertain.
"I'll go back to Datong Shanghai now, senior brother, you believe me, 30 million, as long as you redeem people, nothing else matters."
She would rather not go through Shanghai than risk her life.
Zhang Dingyun's side had been arranged a long time ago, and he didn't need so much money at all, and he couldn't use Datonghu, because once such a large sum of money was raised, he couldn't find a more suitable name to return it.
There can't be any unreasonableness, otherwise, when Liao Wanyu calms down, she may see the flaws.
No, according to her clever mind, she will definitely see the flaws.
