Chapter 190 Kidnapping
The man with a crew cut walked up to Jiang Tianwei, who was covered by a hood, held the dagger horizontally, and tapped Jiang Tianwei's face lightly with the blade.
Because he was wearing a hood and his movements were not very large, there was no sound when he knocked.
However, the sharp dagger gleamed coldly under the light, extremely dazzling. Everyone's heart also rose and fell violently with the rise and fall of the dagger!
Jiang Tianwei seemed to have sensed something as well and became quiet at this time.
The man with a crew cut gave a sinister smile, suddenly glanced at the audience, and then said, "Because you are not punctual, I have decided to double the ransom, and it must be paid in cash."
Jiang Tiantong raised her eyebrows. In fact, after she received the call from the kidnappers in the warehouse, she did not do anything tricky except notifying Tang Shuo.
They had been going at top speed the entire way, not wanting to delay. As for the ruffian's one-hour requirement, it was completely impossible to complete.
Jiang Tiantong looked at the people holding guns in front of the crew cut man and said, "This 50 million is all the cash I can come up with."
Having said that, Jiang Tiantong signaled the bodyguards behind him to open the boxes they brought.
Then three men in black carrying suitcases walked forward and opened the suitcases in their hands. The first man was carrying a black suitcase, which was full of bundles of Chinese currency when he opened it. The other two were carrying a more conventional password box, which was filled with colorful euros when they opened it.
After everyone finished reading, Jiang Tiantong finally said, "This is all the cash I could gather temporarily. It's 10 million Chinese Yuan, and the remaining 40 million is Euros."
The eyes of several armed kidnappers were instantly drawn to the box opened by the first bodyguard. Ten million in cash piled together was a magnificent sight. This effect was completely different from the long string of zeros in a bank account.
Seeing that the buzz-cut man's eyes were also attracted by the money in the box, Jiang Tiantong's eyes suddenly flashed with a bright color, and then she said, "I can give you the remaining 50 million, but I have to ensure my brother's safety. You can release him first, and I will send someone to transfer the money as soon as the bank opens tomorrow morning."
The man with the buzz cut wasn't stupid. He seemed to be hesitant about something. After moving his eyes away from the cash box, he shook his head and said, "We won't release you until we see the money!"
"So there's no way to continue the discussion?" Jiang Tiantong immediately said to the bodyguards who were taking the money, "Put it away."
Seeing this, the man with a crew cut immediately put the dagger to Jiang Tianwei's neck and angrily asked, "Do you want your brother to die?"
"If anything happens to him, you'll be the first to die with him!" Jiang Tiantong glanced at him calmly and continued, "I've already given you the opportunity to negotiate, it's just that you didn't agree."
The man with the crew cut glanced to the side again and said, "We can release your brother, but you have to be the hostage yourself."
Jiang Tiantong frowned, pursed his lips, and shook his head: "This is impossible."
"Do you want him to die?"
As he spoke, the man with a crew cut moved the dagger closer.
The sharp blade was pressed against Jiang Tianwei's neck. If he had moved his hand forward just one centimeter, he could have easily taken Jiang Tianwei's life.
"If I die, he won't be able to live either." Jiang Tiantong replied coldly, "So I can't possibly agree to you."
Jiang Tiantong now has a complete grasp of the situation, and she has also vaguely guessed the identities of these people.
If her guess was correct, then these kidnappers were indeed real kidnappers. However, their purpose in kidnapping Jiang Tianwei was to target her.
In other words, everything that happened today was because someone was behind the scenes.
The person who assigned these kidnappers must be one or two of the other major families in Yanjing, and the mastermind behind this must be taking this opportunity to get rid of himself and then plot against the Jiang family's assets.
As for why this person dared not show up and instead assigned such a group of second-rate kidnappers to cause such a farce, the reason is not difficult to guess.
This is the same as the previous murder of his father. The five major families have their own rules. The other party wants to use these kidnappers to get rid of him and clear himself of suspicion.
The expression on the man's face was uncertain. After a while, he asked, "How can I believe what you say?"
"I mean what I said. I won't give you a penny less than what I promised you," Jiang Tiantong replied. "But you must let my brother go now."
The man with a crew cut hesitated for a moment, and the situation fell into a stalemate.
————
Tang Shuo, with a bitter look on his face, kept urging Jesus beside him to speed up.
When he heard that the kidnappers gave Jiang Tiantong half an hour to get to a warehouse in the western suburbs, his intuition told him that the kidnappers would most likely change the transaction location for a series of reasons such as safety.
So he asked Jesus to drive to the city center, hoping that Jiang Tiantong would arrive before the kidnappers notified the transaction location and then take the initiative.
Unexpectedly, his guess turned out to be correct, and the kidnappers did change the transaction location.
But what he didn't expect was that the location of the transaction proposed by the kidnappers for the second time was even farther away from them than Jiang Tiantong.
Too clever by half.
Tang Shuo smiled bitterly in his heart and could only keep urging Jesus beside him to speed up.
The car drove straight towards the steel plant like an arrow.
After arriving at the steel plant, Tang Shuo and Jesus immediately got out of the car and rushed in.
After finally finding the factory where the transaction was taking place, Tang Shuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Tiantong and Jiang Tianwei were both uninjured, and it seemed they were still negotiating. Tang Shuo did not dare to act rashly, and decided to wait and see what exactly was going on.
After making a gesture to Jesus, Tang Shuo immediately climbed up the adjacent building.
After he found a good position to observe, he began to observe the situation inside through the window. Jesus quietly walked around from the other side, looking at the scene inside with a gun.
————Throw the demon away.
After a while, the man with the crew cut seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Give us the money first, and then we'll let you go."
Jiang Tiantong shook his head without even thinking: "No."
It is said that money comes before goods. What if the other party refuses to release you after you pay the money?
From the time Jiang Tiantong came in until now, it seemed that she had been threatened by the man with a crew cut, but in fact, she had been leading the man by the nose.
First, they wanted to pay extra money for the half-hour overtime, then they wanted to use her as a hostage... She didn't agree to any of the kidnappers' requests.
The man with a crew cut also showed a trace of anger on his face at this time. With no place to vent his anger, he suddenly stabbed Jiang Tianwei in the leg with a knife.
The sharp dagger instantly pierced the skin on Jiang Tianwei's leg and penetrated deeply into the flesh. Jiang Tianwei, whose mouth was blocked, immediately let out a muffled groan.
The man with a crew cut looked at Jiang Tiantong and said, "Don't push me!"
The man with the buzz cut was actually a vagrant criminal who used to frequently travel in the Northeast region.
Some time ago, a mysterious person contacted him, paid him 10 million yuan directly, and then asked him if he wanted to come to Yanjing to make a fortune.
The man with a crew cut was very confused at first, but in the end he decided to come to Yanjing.
After learning that the plan was just to kidnap one person and that the other party would pay him 10 million in cash, the man with a crew cut immediately agreed to it and called over his former subordinates.
The other party stated that their target was the woman named Jiang Tiantong and promised that all the ransom would belong to him.
However, the other party also said that if anything unexpected happened in this matter, the 20 million he paid would be the life-saving money for him and his men.
In fact, he himself didn't know who sent him, but he was very wary of the other party.
Now one of his men is a secret sent by the other party, so of course he dare not be careless at this time.
Jiang Tiantong raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "If he dies, all of you will die. I mean what I say."
"How can I guarantee I can leave safely after getting the money?" The man with the crew cut gritted his teeth and said, "You seem to have more guns than we do."
