Guan Feng simply said, "If it really was Ding Li who did it, in order to get him to confess and hand over Shang Nana, we first need to figure out his motives!"
After a pause, Guan Feng looked at Shang Wanting and continued, "According to our preliminary understanding, Ding Li's foreign trade company has been operating at a loss for the past two years, basically to the point of being insolvent. All he wants is money!"
"Your previous refusals to answer the phone gave him the wrong impression that you and he had over your past relationship and that there was no possibility of you borrowing money."
"If he wants to keep the company running, he might turn his attention to Shang Nana! So if Chairman Shang wants to save his daughter, this matter needs to be addressed from this angle!"
Shang Wanting understood.
She said, "If I directly told him I was willing to give him 100 million, would he release Nana?"
Guan Feng shook his head and said, "Absolutely not!"
Shang Wanting asked, "Why?"
Guan Feng said, "Besides the ransom of hundreds of millions, there is also the issue of illegal and criminal activities, so he will not easily admit it. In fact, the psychology of a person in a criminal state is different from that of an ordinary person. If he mistakenly thinks that you are testing him, it will cause some misunderstandings and make things more troublesome."
Shang Wanting asked, "Then what do you think I should do?"
Guan Feng said, "Just bring it up casually, for example, when you talk to him about your worries about your daughter, say that it's just 100 million yuan, your daughter's life is more important, and if he takes the initiative to say that he can help resolve this matter, you can even help him!"
"I will determine the other party's suspicion in the process. If it gets to the point where it can be brought up directly, I will give you a signal, and you will cooperate with me at that time."
"In short, Mr. Shang, just remember one thing: you must narrate in a smooth manner and not give him a sudden feeling."
Shang Wanting said, "I understand!"
Guan Feng nodded, then looked at everyone and said, "Don't just stand there, move quickly! Sister Jin, take them to a room on the first floor to hide temporarily."
"Okay, please follow me."
Sister Jin looked at everyone and greeted them.
The group immediately followed.
Zhao Dong also said, "Xiao Guan, it's not suitable for me to stay here either. You and Lily should stay."
Guan Feng asked, "Squad leader, why aren't you suitable?"
Zhao Dong said, "I'm the branch captain. I might have met Ding Li before. You and Lili have only been here for two months, so he probably hasn't met you. You two can act as Shang Dong's assistants."
Guan Feng thought this made some sense and said, "Then let's do as the squad leader says."
Zhao Dong patted Guan Feng on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Guan, we're in the room, ready to provide support at any time. Stay in touch."
Guan Feng nodded and then notified Zheng Yuandong to prepare.
......
Five minutes after everyone had hidden themselves.
A car drove into the gate of the villa area.
Guan Feng arrived at the door, opened the gate, and let the car in. A burly man about 1.8 meters tall got out of the car. This was the first time Guan Feng had seen Ding Li in person: he was about 1.8 meters tall and weighed around 160 kilograms. He looked very imposing and powerful.
However, the tired look on the other person's face could not be concealed no matter how much hair wax or face cream was applied.
Guan Feng stepped forward and asked, "Is this Mr. Ding? Chairman Shang sent me to pick you up!"
Ding Li's gaze unconsciously swept over Guan Feng, and when he saw Guan Feng's tall, handsome, and upright figure, his hostility involuntarily emanated from him. He frowned and asked, "Who are you to Chairman Shang?"
Guan Feng said, "I am the chairman's distant nephew. This year, I came with my girlfriend to work as Chairman Shang's personal assistants."
Upon hearing the words "distant nephew" and then "girlfriend," Ding Li's wary expression softened considerably, and he immediately asked, "How is Wan Ting doing now?"
Upon hearing this, Guan Feng put on a sorrowful expression and said, "Chairman Shang is in very bad shape! The other party is demanding a ransom, and Chairman Shang is worried about his daughter's safety. He is currently raising funds from various sources, and he is also very afraid that the kidnappers will kill her. He is in a state of extreme tension."
Ding Li asked casually, "Did Wan Ting call the police?"
Guan Feng immediately shook his head and said, "How could that be? Chairman Shang only cares about his daughter's safety. 100 million yuan? It's just an external thing that can be discarded at any time, so he never thought of calling the police."
Ding Li said no more.
The two strolled into the villa's lobby.
"Wan Ting!"
"Ding Li!"
When the two met, although they were already divorced, the bond between them still existed. In particular, Shang Wanting deliberately showed a weak and vulnerable demeanor as instructed by Guan Feng, which immediately captured Ding Li's heart.
Ding Li said with an air of domineering confidence, "Wan Ting! Don't worry, our daughter will be alright."
Shang Wanting shook her head and said, "These kidnappers are inhuman. Ding Li, you don't understand. Last time, that XX family's child was offered a ransom of 5 million, and they killed her, didn't they? Nana, she..." She started crying again as she said this.
Ding Li shook his head and said, "The other party is clearly different from the last one. The fact that they dared to demand 100 million yuan proves that they know you. Wan Ting, don't worry, if they call again, I will make them guarantee our daughter's safety! Otherwise, I will make them pay even if I have to chase them to the ends of the earth!"
Upon hearing this, Shang Wanting's face showed a touched expression, and she said, "The other party only said that they would raise 100 million by tonight, but they haven't said how to deliver it. Ding Li, I'm worried about my daughter's safety. Can you think of a way?"
Ding Li asked, "Did the kidnappers say when they would call next?"
Shang Wanting shook her head and said, "No! That's why I'm worried! It's just 100 million yuan, right? As long as my daughter is safe, I'll give her the money. I definitely won't call the police! Ding Li, you know a lot of people, can you find out who did it? You must ensure Nana's safety. I'm willing to pay the ransom!"
Ding Li wanted to say, "How could we possibly find out that? Wouldn't that expose us?"
But seeing Shang Wanting's anxious expression and her beautiful eyes looking at him with dependence, his male chauvinism couldn't help but erupt.
He asked, "Wan Ting, how do you plan to resolve this matter? When Nana comes back, will you still report the 100 million yuan to the police?"
Shang Wanting shook her head and said, "How could I call the police? Compared to my daughter's safety, what is 100 million? I would even give him the company if I wanted to."
Ding Li said, "In that case, I'll ask someone."
Shang Wanting asked, "Ding Li, can you find someone? You must try! Nana is our child. Besides you, I can't find anyone else to help me, Ding Li!"
Ding Li nodded emphatically, stepped forward, and put his hand on Shang Wanting's shoulder to comfort her, saying, "Don't worry! I'll inquire with people in the underworld. Whether I can find them or not, at least I can send a message to tell them not to bully Nana!"
Shang Wanting said, "That's what I meant too!"
Ding Li said, "Then I'll ask someone first." As he spoke, he started making a phone call in front of Shang Wanting.
