Chapter 371, my word is credibility(1/2)
"One billion!"
Why is Zhang Zihao so famous and remembered by the world?
The biggest reason is the kidnapping case that shocked the world.
A ransom of 1.038 billion was paid and he escaped unscathed.
This feat was even recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Although I don’t know why Guinness would record such a weird thing, no matter what, Zhang Zihao became famous. In the end, no one is more famous than him in the kidnapping industry.
"How does Superman Li know that it was Zhang Zihao who made the move? Don't be fooled!"
"No, because after kidnapping Mr. Li again, Zhang Zihao took the initiative to visit Li Chaoren and produced evidence to prove that he had indeed kidnapped Mr. Li.
At the same time, a sky-high ransom of one billion Hong Kong dollars was paid," said Cao Dahua.
"Zhang Zihao is really brave when someone comes to the door alone. He is not afraid that the Li family will keep him. I heard that Li Chaoren's security is pretty good.
Although it is not as good as me, it is still second to none in Xiangjiang."
"Zhang Zihao threatened Mr. Li's life, so the bodyguards had to take him in. After meeting Li Chaoren's offer of a billion ransom, Li Chaoren was about to get angry.
Zhang Zihao directly took out the bomb on his body and said that they would die together. Not only would he and Mr. Li die, but there would be no good consequences for leaving home."
After being a policeman for so many years, Cao Dahua has seen many desperadoes, but Zhang Zihao is the first one. It can be said that he is brave, resourceful and not afraid of death. Such people are the most difficult to deal with.
"I can let Zhang Zihao enter Li's house with a bomb tied to it. It seems that Li Chaoren's bodyguards are not very good. If it were me, someone like Zhang Zihao would be killed before he even entered the house. What are you thinking about with a bomb tied to it?"
Lei Weidong curled his lips and looked down upon Li Chaoren's bodyguard.
Also, these people are hired from bodyguard companies.
He has a high vision but a low hand, just like the Flying Tigers.
Regardless of how good he is in training or how good he is in bragging, in actual combat, he is not even a little bit worse than Li Jie and others who came off the battlefield.
It's not that they don't train hard.
There is really no room for mistakes on the battlefield, and if you make a mistake, you may lose your life.
"According to Li Chaoren's description, Zhang Zihao is a very special person. After showing off the bomb, he behaved as if he had arrived at his own home. Not only did he not run away, he did not worry about the Li family calling the police. He even had dinner at Li's house before leaving."
Cao Dahua continued, "Li Chaoren spoke highly of him. If Zhang Zihao hadn't kidnapped his son, he might have become friends with him.
Wei Dong, are you interested in taking this case?"
I wasn't very interested in seeing Lei Weidong.
Cao Dahua also knows the reason.
The boss and the second child really can't deal with each other.
If it was an ordinary case, Lei Weidong would just take it over, but Li Chaoren.
The richest man helped the second richest man solve the case. Is there anything wrong?
It's okay if Lei Weidong takes over and it doesn't break out. If it does, it will definitely cause a lot of gossip.
"Weidong, if not, please contact Li Chaoren and decide whether or not to accept the case over the phone." Because of Lei Weidong's special status, even if Cao Dahua is the chief of police, he cannot forcefully issue orders. He can only
Good words and advice.
"Director, can I ask what Li Chaoren's position is? Should he spend money to eliminate the disaster and ensure that Mr. Li comes back safely, or should he not give up the money and let our police rescue his son?" Lei Weidong asked.
"You need to talk to Li Chaoren about this. I don't know what he thinks." Cao Dahua shrugged, saying that he was just the matchmaker and he didn't know what Li Chaoren thought.
"Well, let's get in touch." Lei Weidong shrugged, took out the phone and dialed.
As the richest man, Lei Weidong is very clear about the contact information of Li Chaoren and others, but he doesn't usually keep in touch with them.
"Father, there's a call coming!"
Repulse Bay Villa Area.
Li Mansion!
Li Chaoren sat motionless on the sofa in the living room, as if he was a woodcarving.
"Master!" The old butler came to Li Chaoren and whispered.
"How are you preparing the money?"
Although Li Chaoren was worth tens of billions, his net worth at that time, including the valuation of fixed assets and stocks, was only a billion in real working capital at most.
And these are scattered across various companies, and it is not easy to put them together.
"The company only has 400 million in cash. We have allocated 800 million in cash from the advance payment for the Wan Chai land and the payment to be made next week.
The remaining two hundred million will take time, and it won't be until tomorrow morning at the earliest." The old housekeeper replied in a low voice.
"Do it as soon as possible. No matter what, we must collect the money and let people come back safely." Li Chaoren replied expressionlessly.
"Master, you don't have to worry about the money. I'm just worried about what will happen if the other party refuses to pay the money." The old butler watched the eldest son grow up and loved him as his own son. Regarding his disappearance, the old butler and
Li Chaoren is also worried and hopes he can come back safely.
"Don't worry, it won't happen. If I can't come back, I will let Zhang Zihao and his men be buried with him even if he doesn't come back." Li Chaoren spoke in a very cold tone.
Everyone has a bottom line.
Li Chaoren's bottom line is his children.
Money doesn't matter. Even though one billion is a lot, it won't hurt Li Chaoren.
Just make more money when it's gone.
But if the child is gone.
Once rich people become crazy, it is very scary.
"Ring ring ring!"
Li Chaoren's Big Brother call suddenly rang.
Li Chaoren did not move. The butler stepped forward and picked it up. He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was a familiar and unfamiliar number.
Although this was the first time he called this number, as Li Chaoren's butler, he knew who the owner of the number was.
"Sir, this is Lei Weidong's phone number." The housekeeper handed the phone to Li Chaoren and said.
"Lei Weidong, I didn't expect to provoke him, now I can be saved." Upon hearing the call from Lei Weidong, Li Chaoren quickly took the phone over and pressed the answer button.
"Brother Li, hello, I'm Lei Weidong." Although they are both rich, and he is one level higher than the other, the age difference between the two is too big, so calling him brother is a must.
"Hello, Mr. Lei, what brought you here? Can you please call me?" Li Chaoren said calmly.
"It's not Feng, it's the case. Brother Li, I know about Zhang Zihao's matter. The director decided to let me handle it. I want to ask what you decide to do, whether to pay the ransom or..."
Like Li Chaoren, Lei Weidong's tone is very calm, making it difficult for people to decipher his meaning.
"Of course, the principle is to protect the person. Mr. Lei, I won't hide it from you. I have already started to prepare the money. As long as the person can come back safely, I don't care about one billion.
But I'm worried that the other party will reject the vote." Li Chaoren said truthfully.
"It is indeed possible to break up the case. In recent years, the success rate of the police in solving similar kidnapping and extortion cases has been less than 50%.
In contrast, if you take the initiative to pay the ransom.
There is a 60% chance that the kidnapper will keep his promise and release the kidnapper, and the remaining 40% is a bad vote.
However, these kidnappers are secretive.
Like Zhang Zihao, he took the initiative to expose himself.
After receiving the ransom, the chance of releasing the person is more than 9. After all, he doesn't dare to let you go crazy and hunt them all over the world."
"That's what I thought before I let him leave. At the same time, I mobilized funds to pay the ransom. Mr. Lei, it's not convenient to talk on the phone. Can we have an interview in person?"
Lei Weidong is the most famous detective in Xiangjiang.
Being able to rise so quickly in the police world and reach the position of assistant director at the age of thirty is not only because of his wealth, but also because of his ability. No matter how difficult the case is, he can easily solve it in Lei Weidong's hands.
"I can't go, and you'd better not come out. If I'm right, Zhang Zihao's people are watching Li's house. Whether you come out or I go in, it will cause unnecessary trouble."
Lei Weidong shook his head and refused to meet Li Chaoren.
"It's true, it's false, Zhang Zihao is spying on me." Upon hearing this, Li Chaoren looked out the window worriedly. Although he knew it was impossible, Li Chaoren was still worried that his words would be eavesdropped by the robbers.
"If there was no surveillance on Li Zhai, how could Zhang Zihao easily kidnap Mr. Li without being discovered? He must have made preparations. He has been monitoring Li Zhai for more than a day or two."
Lei Weidong said, "That is to say, Zhang Zihao is worried that he will not be able to get the ransom after kidnapping you, otherwise, you may not be able to escape."
"I can't run away either!"
Lei Weidong's words made Li Chaoren furious, and he naturally understood the meaning of Lei Weidong's words.
Zhang Zihao did not kidnap himself because he was worried that after kidnapping him, his two sons would fight for power and would be unwilling to save him because of the separation of the family.
Although Li Chaoren believes in his family.
But what Lei Weidong said is right.
Faced with a family fortune worth tens of billions, it is really difficult to ensure that our sons will not be tempted.
