On the side of the street leading to the port in Shizhong District, one of the grain and oil stores of the He family is here. The so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, although the He family has scattered all their money, the two grain and oil stores left behind are also worth much more than ordinary grain and oil stores in the eyes of people with vision.

Because they are all in the best location and the area is very large.

The store facing the street is only more than 20 meters wide, but behind it is a yard of more than three acres.

He Guohui usually lives in the store on this side of the port, which is also an old house, and in its heyday, the He family had more than a dozen domestic workers, all of whom could live in it. After his wife died of illness, he dismissed everyone, and his usual life was taken care of by his sister-in-law.

The traditional concepts of overseas Chinese are very important, and compared with the increasingly open minds in China, it can be said that some of the concepts of overseas Chinese are still in the Republic of China period. Therefore, in the eyes of many people, the situation in He Guohui's family is normal. It is very common for some Chinese to have three wives and four concubines.

Of course, in everyone's eyes, the sister-in-law who has taken care of He Guohui for a long time is his wife.

Tang Jiu and He Guohui are good friends. Red Star Overseas Co., Ltd. Singapore Branch started as a trade in agricultural products, importing agricultural products including rice from Japan and Thailand, and selling them in Singapore and Malaysia. Of course, it was very difficult to open the market at first, and it was inevitable to use violence.

After gaining a firm foothold in Singapore, Red Star Overseas Singapore Branch joined the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and had some business dealings with He Guohui, who ran a grain and oil store. He Guohui also has a strong interest in Red Star, which has sufficient funds and a mysterious background.

After going back and forth, Tang Jiu and He Guohui are relatively good friends, which is also one of the reasons why He Guohui is relieved to let his only daughter He Zi go to work overseas in Red Star.

Tang Jiu didn't call and found it directly, and his entourage knocked on the door hard. It took a while before there was a sound inside, Tang Jiu hurriedly identified himself, and after the door opened, he found that it was He Guohui who came to open the door in person.

"Chairman He, I'm very sorry to disturb you at this time, I have something very important to inform you." Tang Jiu said in a deep voice.

"Mr. Tang." He Guohui hurriedly invited Tang Jiu in, "Please come in, don't be in a hurry, speak slowly, speak slowly." ”

He Guohui is originally from Guangdong and speaks with some Cantonese accents.

The two strode in, through the front yard and into the central hall. At this time, Shi Huixiang also came out with a coat and tea. She obviously woke up too, knowing that at such a late hour, He Guohui must have invited a distinguished guest to sit in the middle hall, so she hurriedly prepared tea.

Tang Jiu didn't dare to slack off, and stood up to say hello, "Miss Shi, excuse me." ”

"Mr. Tang, you are polite." Shi Huixiang said, "You talk." ”

Tang Jiu said, "Miss Shi, please stay, the situation I want to report is related to He Zi, please listen to Miss Shi too." ”

As soon as they heard this, He Guohui and Shi Huixiang became nervous. It will never be a trivial matter to come to the door directly to report the situation so late.

"What's wrong with Zi'er?" Shi Huixiang's face turned pale.

Tang Jiu said, "President He, Miss Shi, don't worry, please listen to me." ”

"Mr. Tang, please speak." He Guohui motioned for Tang Jiu to sit down.

After sitting down, Tang Jiu said, "At around ten o'clock in the evening, He Zi's boyfriend called to say that He Zi had been kidnapped. Don't worry, you two. He Zi was kidnapped on her way to work, and we are still investigating why she didn't go home immediately after work. President Ho, Miss Shi, please rest assured, people are fine. The kidnappers demanded a ransom of $100,000. Two hours ago, I had already sent a vice president with money to ransom people. The kidnappers were just asking for money, and we were able to determine that Ho Zi was not harmed. I had planned to wait until I rescued the person and then come to the door to apologize in person. After thinking about it, I still feel that I should inform the two of you about this situation in time. ”

After a pause, Tang Jiu said, "President He, Miss Shi, I don't know if it's convenient for the two of you to go to Sentosa with me, after the people are rescued, they may need to conduct a detailed investigation into some of the circumstances of this matter." For the time being, it is inconvenient to let more people know that He Ziran came back safely. ”

He Guohui is such a smart person, his brows jumped, "Mr. Tang, do you suspect He Zi's boyfriend?" ”

"Until you find out, there are any possibilities." Tang Jiudao, "Now that the public security is so chaotic, for the personal safety of employees in the future, we also have to do a detailed investigation." ”

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll change my clothes and come." He Guohui immediately got up and went to the second floor.

Shi Huixiang also apologized and hurriedly cleaned up. She is almost forty years old this year and has no children, and she has always treated He Zi as her own and loves her. He Zi was most anxious about what happened to him.

The two of them hurriedly changed their clothes and quickly went downstairs, followed Tang Jiu into the car, and hurried to Sentosa.

At the same time, there are new developments on Zhang Jianjun's side.

Liu Xiaoguang and Zhong Tieshan first found He Zi's boyfriend Liu Gui, and after asking about the situation in detail, they went directly to the vicinity of the place where the kidnappers demanded a ransom, and then reported to the family. Zhang Jianjun arrived half an hour later and was personally in charge of ransom.

Since it was decided to pay the ransom, there was no need to carry out a surprise rescue according to the personnel, but Zhang Jianjun still kept an eye on it in case of accidents.

Zhang Jianjun opened the box he brought and said, "I'll pay the ransom alone, you are responsible for covering, once the situation changes, you must ensure He Zi's safety no matter what." ”

Liu Xiaoguang and Zhong Tieshan skillfully inspected the weapons and ammunition, all of which were ordinary firearms, long guns and short guns, and there were no grenades and other things with greater surface lethality. Liu Gui, who was watching from the side, had sweat on his forehead, and watched in horror as these company executives skillfully fiddled with guns and ammunition that they had never seen before.

"Mr. Liu, you and I will pay the ransom in a while." Zhang Jianjun took two pistols, one behind his back and one in his pocket.

Liu Gui trembled suddenly, "I, I, okay, I'll go." ”

Zhang Jianjun took a deep look at him, walked to the window, and motioned for Liu Gui to come over, Liu Gui moved his steps over, his head was covered with sweat, and his lips were trembling.

This is the second floor facing the street, with the street outside the window, and a row of small buildings of two or three stories on the opposite side. On the right is a small processing plant, where the kidnappers demanded ransom.

"Sure, isn't this a processing plant?" Zhang Jianjun asked Liu Gui.

Liu Gui couldn't help but nod, "Yes, yes, this is it, they asked me to put the money in the third plastic bucket on the left side of the processing plant." When they get the money, they release them. ”

"What the kidnappers said to you, you are not bad at a word, repeat it to me again, remember, it must be a word of good." Zhang Jianjun said solemnly.

Liu Gui frowned suddenly, lowered his head and recalled very seriously, and said slowly, "That's right, it's what I told you before, it's not bad at all, it's here, it's the third plastic bucket, get the money and release people, yes, that's it." ”

"Okay, if you can be sure, human life is at stake, you better not be mistaken." Zhang Jianjun said in a deep voice.

Liu Gui said, "No! I remember correctly! ”

Zhang Jianjun gestured to Liu Xiaoguang and Zhong Tieshan, picked up the handbag containing the money, and dragged Liu Gui out in stride.

Liu Xiaoguang and Zhong Tieshan sorted out their equipment, and the two went downstairs first, and disappeared in the darkness in an instant......
