Chapter 618: Sister Yue takes over and deploys troops (Part 2 and 3)
"Yueyue, how are you?" Shi Qingzhi stared at his granddaughter nervously.
"The sounds received by the sound detector still need to be analyzed before we can obtain any useful information. This will probably take... two days."
"During this period, you need to draw on the group's funds. It doesn't matter if the action is a bit big. The main thing is to let the kidnappers see our active attitude in raising money. Only in this way can Grandpa Qin be temporarily safe."
"Okay," Shi Qingzhi nodded, "I know what to do."
"Once the money is ready, don't transfer it overseas for the time being. Delay it as long as possible."
"Yueyue, I don't understand. If the kidnappers knew we had collected enough money but didn't give it to them, they might get angry and attack Lao Qin..."
Jiang Fuyue shook her head. "This is a cross-border kidnapping. The kidnappers only gave us five days, so they clearly don't intend to conduct a face-to-face transaction. If I'm not mistaken, they're planning to use the space account to directly pocket the money."
"Under these circumstances, 'paying the money and redeeming the person' is simply not an option. Do you think the other party would risk being arrested and send Grandpa Qin back to China after receiving the money?"
Kidnappers don't follow the principle of "even thieves have their own code of conduct".
They will only do anything to receive the ransom, just like a hungry wolf staring at its prey.
The moment the ransom was received was also the moment Qin Yuanchen died!
After realizing this, the old lady was extremely frightened, her body went limp and she almost fainted.
She grabbed Jiang Fuyue's hand, as if grabbing the only life-saving straw: "Yueyue, you are the only one I have now, you have to help grandma..."
Jiang Fuyue gently patted the back of her hand to comfort her: "Don't worry, Grandpa Qin will return safely."
Shi Qingzhi took a deep breath and pulled himself together. "Besides raising money and delaying the transfer, what else can I do?"
"Think back to the conversation just now. Did you miss any key information? Especially those two sentences that Grandpa Qin said."
"Key information..." Shi Qingzhi frowned.
"Like, who is the fat kid?"
Sounds like a pet...
But Jiang Fuyue felt that if it was not something particularly important, Qin Yuanchen would never mention it at this time.
However--
Shi Qingzhi looked bewildered: "Fat kid? What fat kid? I don't know what this is."
Jiang Fuyue's eyes suddenly turned cold: "It seems that this is the clue that Grandpa Qin left for us!"
"Did Lao Qin leave a hint?"
"Well, that's why the kidnappers didn't want him to talk any more."
You know, the more you talk, the more mistakes you make. Sometimes, a simple piece of information can become the biggest loophole.
Shi Qingzhi murmured, "Fat boy... Fat boy... What on earth does Old Qin want to express?"
Jiang Fuyue couldn't guess it either, but there was one thing that could be arranged in advance.
"To prevent the kidnappers from killing the hostages after receiving the money, we can ask the kidnappers to deliver the hostages to a fixed location, and we will send people to meet them outside the safe area. Only in this way can we ensure the greatest possible safety. Otherwise, any unexpected situation may anger the kidnappers, and we will be powerless to deal with it."
"Okay, I'll go! I'll book a ticket now..."
"No!" Han Yunru and Jiang Fuyue spoke at the same time.
"Mom, at your age and in this state, how can we be at ease?"
Shi Qingzhi said anxiously, "But now is the time when your Uncle Qin needs me the most! I must be by his side!"
Jiang Fuyue shook his head: "Ignorant courage will only lead to more casualties—"
"Yueyue!" Han Yunru exclaimed.
Shi Qingzhi trembled all over: "Let her speak!"
"A meaningless sacrifice is tantamount to causing more trouble. It's totally unnecessary. Besides, if you leave, who will mobilize the group's funds and attract the kidnappers' attention?"
Isn't this telling the other party clearly that I didn't raise any money and I came to your base alone?
Jiang Fuyue was not afraid to say something more serious: "You are not going to save people, but to harm them."
The old lady's body swayed, tears welling up in her eyes. "Who should I send? I need to stay to mobilize funds. Lao Qin's two assistants also went to South Vietnam with him, and their whereabouts are now unknown. I don't trust anyone else..."
Jiang Fuyue pondered for a moment: "I can arrange someone, but the premise is that you trust me."
Shi Qingzhi was surprised and delighted: "You are my granddaughter, how could I not trust you? But this time, the road ahead is uncertain, and it is hard to predict whether it will be good or bad. The other party is not related to us at all, will you agree?"
Han Yunru: "Don't worry, Yueyue... still has a few friends."
Shi Qingzhi knew her daughter too well. If Jiang Fuyue didn't have this ability, or was just a half-baked person, she would definitely not say such words.
Now that you have said it, you must be sure!
"Yueyue," Shi Qingzhi grabbed her hand, tears in her old eyes: "Grandma is entrusting your Grandpa Qin's life to you, just do your best. If Old Qin is lucky enough to be saved, then everyone will be happy; but if..."
The old lady took a deep breath and suppressed her sobs. "If we encounter an emergency and cannot save the situation, it is Lao Qin and my fate. You are not to blame. So Yueyue, just go for it and don't worry about anything."
Jiang Fuyue was surprised that Shi Qingzhi could still think of comforting her at this time.
After being surprised, I felt moved.
Perhaps this is what family affection truly looks like, which does not change with time, does not change with accidents, and does not become ugly because of the involvement of interests and lives.
Always believe and be firm.
"Okay." Jiang Fuyue agreed solemnly.
That night, she contacted Liu Jinzhong and mobilized Yufeng Group's personnel in South Vietnam to be on standby and ready for action at any time.
At the same time, Niu Rui, who was far away in Kyoto, activated the latest generation of intelligence system of Qianji Pavilion to monitor the movements of South Vietnam.
Niu Rui: "Is there a specific location?"
Jiang Fuyue: "No."
"Or give me a rough location?"
“No.”
"No...are you kidding me? South Vietnam covers over 300,000 square kilometers. It's so vast that searching for someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Even the latest generation of intelligence systems can't conduct an accurate search without sufficient exclusion information, right?"
"You don't need a precise search, just cast a wide net. The relevant clues still need to be analyzed in detail. I will notify you as soon as there are any results."
"Hurry up." Niu Rui emphasized.
"Um."
Just as the two were about to end the call, Jiang Fuyue suddenly remembered something: "Wait——"
Niu Rui: "Hmm?"
"Do you know what a fat kid is? It's something to do with South Vietnam."
"It's related to South Vietnam..." The other end paused for a moment. "In the past ten years, there's been a trend among the South Vietnamese aristocracy to keep babies in captivity. Some of these babies are sold from China, fed and clothed in luxury until they're three years old, white and plump. As long as they're cute and adorable enough, they'll be taken out and shown off like pets. Girls are called "Guan Nian" (good girl), and boys are called "Chubby Boy" (fat boy).
Jiang Fuyue narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Investigate areas in South Vietnam where baby-raising is prevalent, especially those that prefer to raise boys."
"good!"
…
Half an hour later, Jiang Fuyue received a private message from the S-SA intranet account.
Professor Lake: [The audio clip you just posted has been specially processed, making it difficult to extract any useful information. However, I can try, and the success rate is around 60%, but it will take some time.]
Jiang Fuyue clicked on his profile picture, and the homepage below was his personal information verified through the intranet.
Lake Watson is a professor of acoustics at the University of Munich in Germany and the director of the DID Acoustics Institute.
Looking around the world, there is no one more authoritative than him in the field of acoustics.
Jiang Fuyue immediately replied: [How long will it take? ]
Lake: [Two days.]
Pretty much as she expected.
I sent a worried look: [Okay, thank you for your help.]
Lake: [Don't worry, I handle hundreds of kidnapping cases every year and have analyzed numerous ransomware audio clips. I understand the urgency of this matter and will deliver results as soon as possible.]
Thank you.
Are you Chou himself?
【Um. 】
[Oh my God! I can't believe this... Can I add you as a friend?]
Jiang Fuyue took the initiative to send a friend request, which was accepted within seconds.
After that, the two sides stopped talking and agreed on a specific time, and then Lake went offline directly.
Saving lives is like putting out a fire. Anyway, we have already added each other as friends, so there are plenty of opportunities to learn and communicate with Chou.
The two key clues, the audio and the fat kid, have been laid out. Now we just have to wait for the results...
No one slept well that night.
The next day, the old lady called the finance department and instructed them to start withdrawing funds from the group.
The withdrawal speed is monitored by Jiang Fuyue.
It can't be too fast, otherwise the kidnappers will be ready to act; it can't be too slow, otherwise the kidnappers will lose patience.
Jiang Fuyue simply submitted a leave note to the school and stayed at home in person.
Han Yunru and Jiang Da take turns, one taking care of the family and the other taking care of the business.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Fuyue received a call from Niu Rui, "...Well, take your time."
As he spoke, he turned and went upstairs to get his computer.
At this moment, the Jiang family's door was pushed open almost rudely.
The person came in like a gust of wind.
"Brother Lin?"
Yesterday’s second and third updates were three thousand words.
Today's update will be at twelve o'clock.
The weather is so nice on the first day of the new year. It will definitely be a sunny and bright year.
