If doing business recently is like a bunch of gamblers scheming against each other at the card table, then kidnapping Han Chudong's father is like someone directly overturning the gambling table, with no rules at all.

The purpose of the law is to limit what people can and cannot do. Unlike dealing with some businessmen who operate in the gray area, such as Wall Street rogue Kevin Roosevelt (K), Han Chudong has no advantage this time. He can only go home and wait for the call, and then hand over the large amount of bearer bonds according to the other party's instructions, and hope that the other party will have a little credibility and really let Han go.

He was used to everything going smoothly, and even if things didn't go well, he could find a new way to deal with it. He hadn't been this troubled for a long time, and he didn't even know who to be angry with.

In the end, he could only feel regret alone, regretting that he had believed Han Yigun's lies that his job was quite safe. Now, someone had really kidnapped him.

We left Hawaii at around seven in the evening and got home at around three in the morning.

The house next to the church has few rooms, so when Han Chudong returned home, he could see his mother sitting on the sofa in a listless state with a landline next to her. There were a few other people sitting next to them. The outgoing mayor of Los Angeles, Elton Sr., was supporting his head with his hands and seemed to have fallen asleep.

For an old man in his sixties, this time was indeed too late. Moreover, they could not fully empathize with Han Yiqiang's experience of being kidnapped. Although Han Chudong's grandparents were sleepy, they were still trying hard to stay awake.

Unknowingly, the backbone of the family has changed from Han Yiqiang to Han Chudong.

So when he saw his grandson coming back, Mr. Han stood up with trembling lips and asked anxiously: "Is there any news about your father?"

"I just got back and know as much as you do. Since you asked us to prepare the money, nothing will happen until we get the money. What about the bearer bonds?" Han Chudong had just asked when his mother took out a thin file bag. It looked no different from other documents from the outside, but inside it contained twenty U.S. bonds with a face value of one million U.S. dollars. Including the convertible interest, the actual value was actually more than 20 million U.S. dollars.

Everyone was staring at these "pieces of paper". If others got even one of them, they would be considered wealthy. If they spent frugally, it would be enough to cover normal expenses for a lifetime. Han Chudong had twenty pieces of paper in his hand.

After taking it and reading it, Arthur's assistant said, "I also asked Bank of America to prepare some samples, but they may not have been delivered yet. From the outside, they look exactly the same as these bearer bonds, except that the serial numbers are not marked. I think we can change them. Even if we take them out, we can't get the money back."

"…Forget it. Safety is the most important thing. These are real, right? Has anyone tampered with them?"

“No, you can see the watermark on it.”

Han Chudong took a look and found that there was indeed a purple anti-counterfeiting pattern. He put all the bearer bonds back into the bag, raised his arm to look at his watch, and then said to Old Elton and the others, "I'm so sorry to have wasted so much of your time. I'll book a few rooms nearby. You can go home after you have rested. I don't have enough rooms at home."

It has been confirmed that after leaving his job, Elton Sr. will work as a consultant for Mason United Group, and his salary may reach six figures, which is definitely a high salary.

They just met a few months ago because of the land approval in Beverly Hills. At this moment, Old Elton had no dissatisfaction. He looked at the time, nodded and replied, "Okay, then we will come again tomorrow. I probably won't contact you again so late. By the way, this is Jesnik, your father's boss. He is very capable and he will definitely help find your father."

After Han Chudong shook hands with the middle-aged man, he forced a smile and said, "Thank you again. I'll treat you to a meal after this matter is resolved. Keep in touch."

Jesnik could see that he was not paying attention, but there was no need to demand anything in such a situation. He said, "I often play golf with your father and we are very good friends. I am very sorry that this happened. Let's come back tomorrow morning. I also think that the kidnappers would not call at night."

Arthur's assistant was asked to help arrange a hotel and send these people to rest first. Han Chudong also asked Arthur's assistant to rest, but he did not agree.

There was no need to be too formal. Seeing that he planned to stay, Han Chudong simply stopped talking and sent the sleepy and embarrassed Mochizuki Kiko to her room to sleep.

After finishing the work, he sat down in the living room and let the old couple go back to their room to sleep.

Then I asked my mother, "Did my dad really not tell me where he was going?"

"No, I went shopping with a new friend, and when I came back he was no longer at home. Nanny Aunt Zhao said your dad drove out by himself and never came back."

As his mother spoke, she looked at the brown paper bag in front of her. She felt sorry for the large sum of money, but also felt a little relieved.

After a brief chat, no further clues were obtained, and Han Yiqiang's car was never found.

Sitting in the living room with his mother, Han Chudong began to close his eyes and rest. When the head of the security company arrived, he had already fallen asleep quietly...

I don’t know how much time had passed, but it was still dark outside.

He was suddenly awakened by the ringing of the phone. He woke up instantly, picked up the phone, took a deep breath and asked, "Who?"

"Is the money ready?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Twenty million US dollars in bearer bonds are in my hands. I'll use my father to exchange them. I want to talk to him first."

"You will see evidence that he is still alive. As long as I get the money, your father will be released. After all, we just want money. I will stand at your door with those bearer bonds later. Tell your bodyguards not to stop me, otherwise I can't go back and you can't see your father again... I'll give you five minutes to prepare." A male voice came from the other end of the phone, and before Han Chudong could speak again, the call was hung up.

Unable to help but curse loudly, Han Chudong picked up the file bag and was about to walk out.

Assistant Arthur asked hurriedly, "The kidnapper's call? Are you going to deliver the money in person?"

"I'll just hang out at the door. You guys go back to sleep for a while and ask me if I have the money ready. I'll probably call you back later."

Han Chudong did not tell the truth to Arthur. After he went out, he waved to several bodyguards guarding the door, told them the general content of the conversation, and said that someone might come to collect the money later.

A bodyguard volunteered and said in a deep voice, "I will do the transaction. Boss, you just stay in the house. It's too dangerous. Don't worry, I will make sure your father is safe before handing the money over to the kidnappers. Boss, you don't have to do the transaction yourself."

At this time.

A silver-gray shabby car drove up from the road, honking its horn. After stopping on the side of the road, the masked driver got out of the car and asked directly, “Where are the bearer bonds, Mason Han, I brought a photo of your dad…”
