Upon learning that his son lost more than 20 million US dollars because he did not reveal his whereabouts in advance, Han Yigun became completely depressed.

He took his men with him and searched the streets for the Los Angeles real estate developer named Davis House, but the guy had completely disappeared.

So far.

The matter was already very clear. The other party took advantage of the opportunity of asking Han Yiqiang to go on vacation at sea to plan the so-called kidnapping case, and then stole those bearer bonds from Han Chudong.

To be precise, although Han Yiqiang was not imprisoned openly, he was taken away in disguise.

Han Chudong took the initiative and, through his relationship with the state prosecutor, froze all the other party's assets, including a yacht, two apartment buildings near Griffith Park, a house on Santa Monica Beach, and part of the shares of a 26-story office building under development in Midtown New York, accounting for about 40%. Including these properties, as well as vehicles, yachts, several horses, a small resort, watches, artworks, etc., the total value is approximately 10.5 million US dollars.

An expert told Han Chudong that it would be difficult to get these assets back if they demanded ransom, so they used charges of fraud and robbery when calling the police. They had already seized ownership of these assets before the banks that Davis House had loaned money to could react. By the time the banks wanted to recover the assets, that guy might no longer have any assets in his name.

It seems that there are some benefits to becoming friends with the governor. This is the importance of personal connections. The prosecutor told Han Chudong that it is very likely that these assets will eventually belong to him, but it is not absolute for the time being.

According to the results of the secret investigation.

The well-known real estate businessman in Los Angeles had business problems long before the economic crisis. Most of his assets were mortgaged, and the money was spent on casinos, mistresses, parties, etc. in Atlantic City. He also lost more than 4 million US dollars investing in two movies. Until some time ago, there was only more than 100,000 US dollars left in his account, and a loan will expire in January next year.

Davis House could no longer repay the loan, so he took a desperate measure and came up with the idea of ​​"kidnapping" Han Yiqiang to defraud money, thus tricking the Han family into a loop.

As expected of an Oxford University student, his plan does not have many loopholes.

Han Chudong later found out that the guy had called Han in the morning to ask him out for a shoot, and specifically asked if anyone was home, and then urged Han's father to go to his boat to play.

Perhaps it was because things were going too smoothly that the gambler who was about to go bankrupt did not reveal his true intentions and actually kidnapped and imprisoned Han Yiqiang, allowing him to stay on the boat and rest for only one night.

What is unclear at the moment is whether there are other people involved. The police have not yet obtained accurate investigation results. If Davis House alone took on all the roles from luring to coming to get the money, then he is too bold.

No matter what, it is a good result that Han Yigun is fine.

Looking back, Han Chudong felt that his loss was not unfair. It was only because his father had no bodyguards and did not reveal his whereabouts to others, which led to misunderstandings.

In fact, even if he knew that Han Yigun was in Davis House's hands, Han Chudong would still choose to pay the ransom obediently, just like the future big boss named Li who had a face-to-face conversation with Zhang Ziqiang who kidnapped his son, and finally gave the money to the other party. Before the kidnapped family members returned safely, anything could happen, and that situation made them dare not gamble.

The money is gone and there is no point in regretting. The most important thing now is to reduce the losses. Han Chudong is rushing to seize collateral from the bank in the name of victims and creditors.

Because of information asymmetry, he blocked the news about the whole incident, and asked prosecutors to help seize Davis House's assets before other creditors knew that he had gone bankrupt and ran away. He thought that this opportunity should not be missed, and first come first served, there was hope that he could make up for some of his losses.

Are you angry? Of course you are. Han Chudong has recently rearranged the security work and asked people to help purchase some bulletproof cars.

The house next to the church was within easy reach of anyone, and there were tall buildings and high ground in the distance, making it easy to be ambushed. So he used the name of his company to buy a brand new mansion in Beverly Hills that he had not initially chosen. Including the handling fee, he spent a total of US$5.9 million. The house covers an area of ​​3,200 square meters and has a wine cellar, a private theater, an oversized bathtub and swimming pool, as well as a living room with an excellent view of the city of Los Angeles.

Before his own super mansion was built, he planned to move into that house first. There was not much to pack, so the moving company packed it up in just half a day.

Since Han Yigun had just been "kidnapped", his family knew the seriousness of the matter, so they no longer talked about living closer to Chinatown or friends, and after agreeing to a salary increase, the nanny, the chef, and others were all willing to go to work. The happiest ones were the bodyguards and others, as they finally didn't have to rest in the RV anymore. The Beverly Hills mansion was equipped with a nanny building with seven rooms, which was enough for them to take a temporary rest after work.

————————

It’s easier to get things done when there’s someone around.

Han Chudong has already taken back some assets, including the small yacht that is more than 20 meters long and has been in production for less than two years. He also got a small resort next to Griffith Park, which covers an area of ​​about 700 acres. He has seen it in person and the environment is quite good.

In addition, there were three small oil paintings by Picasso. Considering the guy's high productivity, they were not worth much except for his masterpieces that were hyped up. He also got three cars, all Ferraris. One was given to Kiko Mochizuki, and the other two were sold to Zhou Nan and Zhao Dajun at a low price, half sold and half given away, so that they wouldn't take up space at home.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

As for the apartment buildings, office buildings, shares, trusts, etc., they are all the focus of dispute between him and the bank, and will inevitably go to court. The ownership issue has not yet been determined, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to resolve in a short time. It can only be said that the chances of winning are relatively high.

There is no need to suppress the news at this time.

Therefore, before Christmas in 1974, the 20 million US dollar ransom case became a hot topic among people. The specific process of being deceived was deliberately erased, and more people only knew that Han Chudong gave 20 million US dollars in bearer bonds to a guy named Davis House.

Out of revenge, Han Chudong didn't care about whether he was embarrassed or not, and was determined to make Davis House uncomfortable. He even published a reward notice in Playboy magazine. In his opinion, this guy was carrying a large amount of bearer bonds of unclear origin, and he might be robbed by someone. Even if he couldn't get the money back, he would make sure that the other party had no good life for the rest of his life, and could only hide and live in fear like a rat in a sewer.

In fact, since the process was not as tortuous and topical as the kidnapping of J. Paul Getty III, people paid attention to it for two or three days, and soon no one mentioned it again.

During the Christmas and New Year holidays, Han Chudong went to St. Barts in the Caribbean Sea. Mochizuki Kiko took her mother to Switzerland for vacation, so he called Helena Bergman...
