Ye Ming knew that Gong Pengju was well-informed, and he must have known that he had arrived in Hongmai Town from some way, so he replied very calmly: "I am Ye Ming, when will we exchange hostages?" ”

Gong Pengju thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow afternoon!" You rest for the night first, and arrive in Meilan Town before one o'clock tomorrow at noon, and I will contact you again at that time to tell you the specific exchange method and exchange location. ”

Ye Ming let out an "um" and asked, "Mr. Gong, last time your people told me that I could only bring two people at most when exchanging hostages, which is a bit unfair!" The place where the hostages are exchanged must be your sphere of influence, and if there are only three of us coming, wouldn't we be too wronged if you don't keep your word and don't exchange Benben with us and detain the three of us? ”

Gong Pengju sneered and said: "The surname Ye, you put ten thousand hearts, our people in the road are much more trustworthy and righteous than those of you who are officials, and they will not 'make the law in their sleeves - one thing in front of you and one thing behind their backs', they will not easily break their promises, and they will definitely do what they promise." ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then said in a sarcastic tone: "You are a county party secretary, don't you even have the ability to analyze and judge at all?" Our people have already told you: This time we kidnapped your precious son for the purpose of seeking wealth and officials, trying to put Vice Governor Ding in the position of deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and wanting to obtain the mining rights of the Jigongling lead-zinc mine, not for you and your son's lives. For you, Lao Tzu Lu Zhiyao, you and your son are his heart's meat, and no matter which piece of meat is cut off, it is not something he can bear, so there is no need for us to detain both of you here.

"Secondly, you can think about it from another angle: the relationship between our group and your father and son is now evenly matched and mutually restrictive, and you have hostages in our hands, but we also have hostages in your hands. In a sense, Vice Governor Ding is a hostage taken by you, because he is now under surveillance and restricted from leaving the country, and you Lao Tzu Lu Zhiyao can send him to prison at any time, and even instruct someone to kill him silently, we know this.

"Since we have scruples about each other, what do you have to worry about? Your Lao Tzu is still the secretary of the Tianjiang Provincial Party Committee, if we really detain you and don't release your son, he will definitely be furious, and when the time comes, not only will we fail to achieve our goal of seeking wealth and officials, but Vice Governor Ding will also have to worry about his life. This ending is not what we want, right? ”

Ye Ming thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll bring three people over and add one more, so it's all right!" ”

Gong Pengju was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, then you can bring three people over." But I would like to advise you on one more thing: you had better not make a fool of yourself when exchanging hostages. I know that you are strong in martial arts, and the people you brought here must also be extraordinary, but you have to think clearly: I have more than 200 top masters under my command, most of whom are retired special forces and mercenaries who have experienced a hundred battles, and they are all fully armed. If you try to snatch your son back with the strength of three people, it is wishful thinking, and it will kill you and your son. That's all I say, weigh it yourself! ”

The next morning, Ye Ming summoned the members of the delegation and told them that Gong Pengju, chairman of Honghua Mining Company, invited him to visit his mine and inspect the strength of their company by the way. Because Gong Pengju only invited himself over, the rest of the delegation could only stay in Hongmai Town and wait. This visit to Honghua Company is very important, and it is related to the ownership of the mining rights of the Jigongling lead-zinc mine, so I may stay there for a few more days. If you don't return to Hongmai Town within five days, please don't wait any longer, and the deputy county magistrate will lead the team back to Beishan......

After arranging the delegation, Ye Ming explained to Shi Xin alone, saying that he would take Wu Xiaofeng and a few others to Gong Pengju to have a look, and he might stay for a few more days, just ask him to arrange other members of the delegation and leave him alone.

Shi Xin was puzzled, but he didn't want to ask anything, so he had to nod and agree.

At eleven o'clock, Ye Ming asked Shi Xin to arrange two cars to send himself, Wu Xiaofeng and others to the door of Liu Zihao's casino in Meilan Town.

Liu Zihao had already received a call from Fu Mengzi and had been waiting at the door for a while, when Ye Ming got out of the car, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, respectfully bowed his hand to Ye Ming, and said in his mouth: "Secretary Ye, look up for a long time!" ”

Ye Ming also bowed back to him, and introduced Wu Xiaofeng, Ou Gaochu and Su Liqun to him.

Subsequently, Liu Zihao took Ye Ming and others into the casino to drink tea.

Because the people present were all insiders and trusted brothers and friends, Ye Ming told Liu Zihao about going to exchange hostages with Gong Pengju later, and asked him if he could send Xiao Benben back to China safely after replacing him?

Liu Zihao hurriedly said: "Secretary Ye, Ah Fu has already told me what happened to you, logically speaking, you are Brother Chao's brother, and you have arrived in Meilan Town, I should come forward for you to settle this matter." However, the grievances between you are too complicated, and it involves the struggle between high-ranking officials, and Gong Pengju is Sun Zhicheng's horse boy, and there is a team of 200 killers under him.

"However, I can assure you of one thing: if your exchange of hostages goes smoothly and the exchanged child arrives in Meilan Town and arrives at my casino, it will be in the safe, and no one will dare to hurt him again. Although Gong Pengju is powerful, in this Meilan Town, he also has to buy me some face, at least he doesn't dare to send people to my casino to make trouble and kill people. As for sending the child back to China, that's even more of a problem. I will arrange competent people to send the children to the border crossing, and Fu Ge and others will take them back to China. If something goes wrong with the child after it reaches me, I'll bring it up to you! ”

Ye Ming was most worried about the safety of Xiao Benben after he was detained, and when he heard Liu Zihao's words at this moment, he couldn't help but put his mind at ease, hurriedly stood up and bowed to him, and then turned his head to Wu Xiaofeng and said, "Senior brother, I invite you to come over with Brother Ou and Brother Su this time, the main purpose is to ensure the safety of Xiao Benben." Now that Brother Liu has agreed to arrange someone to escort Xiao Benben back to China, wait for the three of you to exchange hostages with me. Your task is to take Benben back to Meilan Town immediately after the hostage exchange is completed, meet with the escorts arranged by Brother Liu, and bring Benben back to China safely, and you don't care about other things! ”
