A side hall of the villa.

Guan Feng considered for a moment and said, "It's actually very simple. Just pretend that you don't know anything about what we just talked about! Call Ding Li later."

"ah?"

Shang Wanting was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Then what should I say?"

Guan Feng reminded him, "Such a big thing as your daughter being kidnapped, is it alright for you to inform Ding Li, her biological father,?"

Shang Wanting thought it made sense and continued, "So what should I say next? My mind is a little foggy right now."

Guan Feng advised, "Chairman Shang, calm yourself down first. Just act as if you know nothing and are only informing him, Shang Nana's biological father. Say what you need to say and act naturally, for example..."

Shang Wanting nodded and said, "You're right, I'll think about it carefully!"

Guan Feng and Zhao Dong waited patiently on the side.

Two minutes later.

The three returned to the lobby on the first floor of the villa.

Guan Feng told the communications department to get ready, then he winked at Shang Wanting.

Shang Wanting dialed Ding Li's number.

Ring ring!

After a few rings, the call was connected.

Shang Wanting's first words were choked with tears, spoken in a panicked tone: "Ding Li, something terrible has happened!"

Ding Li seemed puzzled and asked, "Wan Ting, what happened?"

Shang Wanting said in a still urgent tone, "Nana has been kidnapped! Nana has been kidnapped!"

Ding Li immediately asked in surprise, "What? Nana has been kidnapped? When did this happen?"

Shang Wanting said, "It was this morning!"

Ding Li immediately asked, "What exactly happened? Tell me quickly."

Shang Wanting said nervously, "I... I saw that Nana hadn't come out for breakfast this morning, so I went to her room to call her and found... Just now, the kidnappers called and demanded a ransom of 100 million yuan. I don't know what to do now. Ding Li, what should we do? Will Nana be alright?"

Ding Li immediately asked with concern, "Wan Ting, you didn't call the police, did you?"

Shang Wanting shook her head and said, "How could I call the police? Is my daughter's life more important than a ransom of 100 million? I'm just so scared right now. I'm afraid that if I give them the money, they'll still kill her. What should I do? Should I not trust the kidnappers? Should I call the police?"

Ding Li, on the other end, immediately advised, "Since they dared to make demands and specifically asked you to raise funds, they must have done their homework on you. So, most likely they only care about the money and not your life. As long as we prepare the ransom, Nana will be safe and sound. Don't be foolish and call the police again."

Shang Wanting said, "What should I do now?"

Ding Li asked, "How's the ransom preparation going?"

Shang Wanting said, "I'm withdrawing the funds. I have more than 50 million yuan in cash on hand, and I also borrowed another 50 million yuan temporarily. Now I only have 100 million yuan."

Ding Li asked, "Does the other party want cash or a bank transfer?"

Shang Wanting said, "Cash is required!"

Ding Li asked in surprise, "Why would you need cash? Shouldn't it be a bank transfer?"

Shang Wanting shook her head and said, "I don't know either! He only told me to prepare cash. Did I misunderstand? He told me to prepare the money, but he hasn't said how to deliver it."

Ding Li said, "It's most likely a money transfer, right?"

Shang Wanting was about to speak when she saw the words Guan Feng had written on the whiteboard. Her voice trembled with tears as she said, "Ding Li, are you... are you free right now? I'm so scared, could you... could you come and keep me company?"

Ding Li on the other end seemed to hesitate, stammering, "Wan Ting, I... I'm busy here too."

Shang Wanting said angrily, "What's there to be busy with? We've worked hard all our lives, isn't it all for our daughter? Is there any job more important than our daughter's safety? And you're thinking about other things? If you hadn't abandoned us, how would we be where we are today?"

"Ding Li! I'm completely lost right now. I'm willing to pay any amount of money to get my daughter back! Please come and help me!"

Ding Li seemed moved by the middle sentence, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go over later."

Shang Wanting asked, "How long will it take?"

Ding Li said, "A quarter of an hour."

Shang Wanting immediately said, "I'll wait for you! I'll have someone raise the funds. We must ensure Nana's safety. Ding Li, you're the only person I can trust right now!"

Ding Li said, "No problem! Wanting, wait for me."

......

After hanging up the phone, Shang Wanting looked at Guan Feng and asked, "Captain Guan, did I do a good job just now?"

Guan Feng nodded and said, "Chairman Shang is a born performing artist! His performance just now was flawless, Ding Li should have no suspicions. Besides..." Guan Feng looked at Zhao Dong and said, "Judging from Ding Li's reaction just now, he is more suspicious."

Zhao Dong asked, "What do you mean?"

Guan Feng explained simply: "First! His surprise lasted for a long time, which is not normal at all; second, although he showed a flustered attitude, his tone was very calm, and the underlying tone indicated certainty, which is not normal!"

"Third, he kept reminding Shang Wanting not to call the police. Rather than reminding her, it was more like a subtle hint. Fourth, when a daughter is kidnapped, everything else should be put aside. This is the normal reaction of a parent, but he hesitated. This shows that what he was doing was very important, or that he thought his daughter was not in great danger and there was no need to come over for the time being."

"In either of these cases, it's enough to increase suspicion about him!"

Upon hearing Guan Feng's analysis, Zhao Dong nodded and said, "Xiao Guan, your analysis makes sense! So, what are you planning to do now?"

Guan Feng said, "It's not advisable to conduct a full review of all the city's surveillance footage. We don't know where Ding Li is now or which road he came from. So I plan to use the results to trace the source. Everyone should hide, except for Captain Kai, me, and Huang Lili who plays Shang Dong's deputy. Everyone else must move! No one is allowed to appear in the surveillance hall."

"Furthermore, once Ding Li's car arrives, the outer personnel will immediately trace his origins by reviewing the surveillance footage. The fact that he refused to come earlier must also be because of this matter. Once we find his hideout, it won't be far from the detention location!"

"If he is willing to cooperate and confess, we can directly rescue Shang Nana and ensure her safety; if he refuses to confess, then we will immediately implement the second plan, which can also pinpoint Shang Nana's location!"

Zhao Dong nodded and said, "Xiao Guan, your method is excellent! Let's do it your way!" He then looked at Shang Wanting and asked, "Chairwoman Shang, is there anything else you'd like to add?"

Shang Wanting asked, "What should I say to persuade him to hand over his daughter?"
