In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, at two o'clock in the morning, Yan Lingguo's study was still brightly lit at the moment, and perhaps it had to continue to be lit.

At this moment, Yan Lingguo's face was frighteningly heavy, pacing back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, I am afraid that no one could imagine how Mr. Yan, who has always felt that he is good at scheming and has always been a person who has always been in control, how could he become so restless now.

The reason is very simple, not long ago, he received a call from a strange man, and was told a very simple thing, his only daughter has been kidnapped, and this strange man who did voice processing asked for a small ransom, the same price as the baby son of Mr. Li, the richest man in Hong Kong, one billion, RMB.

With Yan Lingguo's net worth, one billion yuan, the kidnappers have reason to believe that Mr. Yan will happily take out this money, so it is better to do some good deeds, after all, the kidnappers are also dragging their families, and they also have to eat to support their families.

Of course, the kidnappers' patience was very limited, and they only gave Yan Lingguo three days to prepare the money, because they didn't want those transfer checks that would be frozen if they turned their backs, and no one was stupid these days, even if it was a Swiss bank account.

It's just that a billion dollars in cash, oh my God, does this have to be pulled by a truck?

In addition, the kidnappers also have a small request, that is, they hope that Yan Lingguo will not tell others about such a trivial matter, otherwise, they will not dare to guarantee the safety of the eldest lady of the Yan family.

Yan Lingguo listened to the series of demands made by the kidnappers with a blushing face, and then he didn't have any intention of resisting, let alone bargaining with the kidnappers, and all the kidnappers' demands were all accepted, in his heart, there is nothing in the world that is more important than his daughter, even if the kidnappers ask for 10 billion, he will agree without frowning. It's just that it's the New Year's holiday, even if the Yan family has deep relationships in banks around the world, but when it comes to the operation of such a large amount of money, if you want to do it without alarming any party, it will always take a few more days.

So the only request made by Yan Lingguo was to hope that the other party could give a grace period of a few days, in fact, the kidnappers had already approved Yan Lingguo's psychology, if it was a last resort, if there was this billion cash at home, Yan Lingguo might not be able to wait for a day to get back his beloved daughter, so for Yan Lingguo's request, they agreed without much thought, after all, now they occupy a completely dominant position, and since they have done this transaction, They had already pinned their heads to their belts, and they weren't afraid that Yan Lingguo would come out like anything.

After contacting the kidnappers, Yan Lingguo did not waste even a second, and immediately began to mobilize all the resources in his hands, only after half an hour, he had already counted all the cash resources on hand that could be used immediately, and there was only a total of 200 million in cash, which was obviously a large gap with the ransom demands of the kidnappers.

What to do?

Yan Lingguo was anxious, he didn't have no money, and even any of his independent subsidiaries had enough liquidity on the books, but those were all numbers or codes running in various reports and computer systems, and if they wanted to be realized in a short period of time, they would inevitably attract the attention of the relevant parties, and once the kidnappers were alert, it would be miserable if the kidnappers came directly to the net and broke the ticket.

Therefore, the money must not be touched.

Call!!

Yan Lingguo frowned and took a deep breath, sat back in the chair, took out a cigarette case from the drawer, opened it, and lit one, he has quit this thing for many years, and the most he usually uses for social occasions is to take a Cuban cigar and take two puffs, but now he is upset and irritable, so he is used to smoking hard.

In the study, in addition to him and the woman named Chen Qing, there was only Qin Hai, the head of the entire Yan family's security system, at this moment, he looked guilty and uneasy, and it had been almost an hour since he entered this study, but he still didn't dare to come out, and he only dared to make a report only when Yan Lingguo asked.

Speaking of which, before Qin Hai was hired to work in the Yan family, he was the major battalion commander of a certain ace special forces in China, and it stands to reason that he should be able to easily handle the job of security for the Yan family, but tonight, he was derelict in his duties. It's just that he has filtered the entire arrangement tonight in his mind dozens of times, and he can't figure out which link went wrong, in the end, he can only turn the direction of his thinking from the outside to the inside, that is, in this whole system, there are internal ghosts lurking in it, and it is also a very powerful one hidden deeply, after all, Yan Ming was kidnapped by someone in the inner house unknowingly, and the one who can touch the core of the Yan family's inner house is obviously the head of the Yan Mansion, after figuring this out, Almost without hesitation, he ordered all the suspected housekeepers, including more than a dozen houseguards under him, to be closely monitored. And he is so experienced that he only monitors them, and does not take the practice of restricting the personal freedom of these suspects. ,

Chen Qing was also very nervous, but she was obviously not as flustered and panicked as Qin Hai, as the only woman by Yan Lingguo's side at the moment, she naturally had her own unique and excellent place, the more urgent the matter, the more she needed to calm her head, she obviously did it, at this time, she just stood quietly on the side without saying a word, just waiting for Yan Lingguo to open her mouth and command.

For a while, the small study room of more than ten square meters was shrouded in a breathless and depressing atmosphere, and after ten minutes, Yan Lingguo put out the cigarette in the ashtray, and then seemed to realize that Qin Hai was in the study, and raised his eyes to look at Qin Hai.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yan, but I was derelict in my duties. ，…

Qin Hai lowered his head gloomily and said in a low voice.

Yan Lingguo waved his hand, he didn't blame, he knew that this was not the time to be held responsible, so he just tried to ask in a very calm voice: "Xiao Qin, have you found out the reason?" "Mr. Yan, the eldest lady was kidnapped by someone from a rockery at the junction of Houhuā Garden and the East Building, and that area has already entered the inner house, so it happens to be a blind spot for monitoring, and I can't find any traces of video data, I have thought about it carefully, and now I can responsibly say that the kidnappers are so familiar with the internal environment here, there should be internal ghosts."

"There's an inner ghost?" Yan Lingguo's face changed slightly, and the faces of all the Yan family's subordinates and staff immediately flashed in his mind, he asked himself if he treated people well, especially these people who worked with him, the salary and benefits were extremely generous, he couldn't believe that among these people, someone betrayed himself.

"Mr. Yan, I'm worried about startling the snake, so I haven't taken any measures against the suspect now." Qin Hai added again.

"Well, it's the right thing to do." At the moment, the situation is urgent, Yan Lingguo has his own sense of proportion, he didn't dwell too much on this issue, waved his hand slightly, and then ordered: "Okay, Xiao Qin, these things will be handled by you, in addition, the Ministry of Public Security has already targeted this group of kidnappers, I have only one request for you, no matter how you investigate, and no matter whether someone from the Ministry of Public Security comes to investigate, in short, you are not allowed to leak a trace of rumors to go out, and you must keep it as it is." ”

"Yes, I see, Mr. Yan."

Qin Hai hurriedly whispered.

Following Yan Lingguo, he waved his hand to signal that he could go out.

After Qin Hai left, Yan Lingguo barely delayed for a moment, and immediately said to Chen Qing, who had been standing quietly beside him: "Chen Qing, you immediately go and inform Lao Wu of CIC, no, forget it, you go and operate it yourself, and release part of the goods in my hand in batches, you remember, these goods have to go to the seats, and don't engage in large transactions, the more investment bank seats you can contact, the better, don't let anyone see the slightest clue, as long as possible." ”

Chen Qing's pretty face changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "Sir, these goods are collected from the market with great difficulty, if we release them rashly, our layout over there will be small."

She didn't finish speaking, Yan Lingguo's face was cold, her eyes looked at her coldly, her heart tightened, and she immediately knew that she had said the wrong thing, indeed, although these U.S. stocks are an important part of Yan's overseas layout strategy, money is secondary, and it is very likely that the entire layout will be disrupted, but she forgot about it in a hurry, and now the eldest lady of the Yan family has been kidnapped, these things are still a fart, at this time, she hurriedly stopped the words, and said cautiously: "I'm sorry, sir, You know I didn't mean that, 1 Xiao Ming was kidnapped, and I was very anxious. ”

Yan Lingguo sighed lightly, knowing that she didn't mean that, her face softened slightly, and then she was a little tired and lightly ordered: "Okay, 1 Xiaoqing, just do as I instruct, wait for the kidnappers to call again tomorrow, I will inform them to set the transaction location in Manhattan, you go and prepare immediately, and go over for a trip." ”

Chen Qing's heart tightened when he heard this, and at the same time, he was a little sad, although Yan Lingguo trusted himself by letting him deal with it personally, but from another point of view, why didn't he let himself take this risk? If he was robbed by the kidnappers this time, would he be willing to ask his baby daughter to pay money to the kidnappers to ransom people and risk his life? Hmph, it's not possible at all!

"Yes, sir, I'll leave at once."

Although there was a little unhappiness in his heart, Chen Qing was still very well-behaved and immediately agreed, looked at Yan Lingguo again, and wanted to say a few words of comfort several times, but in the end, he stopped talking and didn't say anything.

Yan Lingguo didn't continue to explain anything, he was very clear about the ability of the woman next to him, and she would be able to handle this matter at least, at least it would take about a week for the operation of this large amount of money to be unknown to the outside world.

After waving his hand and signaling that Chen Qing could go out, he took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes tiredly.

It's just that this night, he was destined to read a sleepless night. @。
