Villa lobby.
Ding Li was pretending to make a phone call.
Shang Wanting subconsciously looked at Guan Feng and saw the hand gesture he made. She immediately understood that her ex-husband was a prime suspect in the crime.
She looked at Guan Fengzheng and asked, "Xiao Guan, what's the situation with Chairman Chen?"
Guan Feng said, "We are contacting the bank about the 50 million yuan. Because it was previously said to be in cash, it needed to be urgently transferred. But now it's not necessary. Chairman Chen said it can be directly transferred to your private account."
Shang Wanting glanced at Ding Li and said, "In that case, contact Chairman Chen to make the payment."
Guan Feng said, "Okay! I'll call Chairman Chen first. I'll need your confirmation later, Chairman. Please wait a moment."
Shang Wanting said, "No problem! Go ahead and do it."
Ding Li had just finished his call and asked, "Chairman Chen? Is that Chen You from Hainiu New Energy?"
Shang Wanting said, "It's him! Besides him, who else could borrow 50 million yuan so quickly?"
Ding Li nodded and said, "That's true!"
Guan Feng pretended to call Chen You, but actually called Zheng Yuandong, instructing them to quickly check Ding Li's license plate number, find the route he came from, and be ready to arrest him at any time.
Zheng Yuandong had already seen the car enter the villa and immediately said, "Captain Guan, we've located the relevant positions, but we're not sure how many people are inside. Shall we activate Plan Two?"
Guan Feng immediately said, "Okay! Okay! Wait for our news for now!"
After hanging up the phone, he walked back and said to Shang Wanting, "Chairman, I just contacted Hai Niu Company, and they said the funds will be transferred soon. We just need to wait for their message! Or... should we talk to the police?"
Before Shang Wanting could speak, Ding Li immediately reprimanded her: "What kind of decisions are you, as an assistant, making for your boss? Calling the police? If the other party kills the hostage, are you going to try to recover the losses?"
Guan Feng said, "That's not what I meant! It's just that even if we give them the money, they might still kill the hostage. Compared to that, the police are more professional in handling these matters."
Ding Li looked at the hesitation on Shang Wanting's face and said, "The other party is obviously after money, not lives. Calling the police will only make things worse. I don't agree with this."
Guan Feng, revealing his true intentions, asked, "Can you guarantee that if we provide this 100 million yuan, the other party won't kill us?"
Ding Li nodded and said, "Of course! I'm already trying to contact someone."
Guan Feng shook his head and said, "What's the use of contacting them? Unless we find the person involved, Chairman, I still maintain my previous point of view: it's best for the police to know about this matter in order to ensure Nana's safety to the greatest extent possible."
Shang Wanting frowned and remained silent.
Ding Li said, "Wan Ting, leave this matter to me."
Shang Wanting asked, "Ding Li, can I trust you?"
Ding Li said, "Of course! I am Nana's father, don't you think I'm trustworthy?"
Shang Wanting asked, "Since you are Nana's father, why did you do such a thing?"
Ding Li asked, somewhat taken aback, "Wan Ting, what... what do you mean?"
Shang Wanting retorted rapidly, "If you need money, you can tell me. Why did you kidnap Nana? It's just 100 million yuan, right? I'll give it to you right now, and you can release Nana. I'll pretend this never happened!"
Ding Li's face turned pale and then red, and he shook his head, saying, "Wan Ting, I don't know what you're talking about?"
Shang Wanting said, "Ding Li, don't be so stubborn. From the moment I called you, I already knew it was you who did it. This Xiao Guan isn't some distant nephew of mine; he's a private investigator I hired from Shanghai. He found out the whole story, but I don't want to pursue it anymore. Ding Li, as long as you release your daughter, I'll transfer 100 million yuan in cash to you immediately. From now on, you can go far away."
Ding Li then realized he had been tricked and looked at Shang Wanting with some anger, asking, "Wanting, did you play me?"
He was about to rush forward and pull Shang Wanting away.
Shang Wanting instinctively stepped back, but a figure moved even faster, blocking her way. The figure frowned at Ding Li and said, "President Ding, Chairman Shang still harbors feelings for you, yet you have hurt him time and time again! And now you want to take action? When will you ever change your volatile temper?"
"If Chairman Shang really wanted to play you, he would have sent you to jail long ago. Why would he be confessing to you now? The police have already surrounded the area!"
Ding Li's wrist was held down by Guan Feng, and he felt a powerful force coming at him, making it impossible for him to move. When he looked at Shang Wanting, he found that the chairman's face was covered with tears.
His eyes hesitated for a moment, then a surge of anger welled up inside him, and he said, "Who do you think you are? This is a family matter."
Guan Feng said calmly, "I am Shang Dong's personal consultant, and I am now in full charge of handling this matter. If you do not agree to release him, I will suggest that Shang Dong call the police immediately."
Ding Li was so angry that he tried to hit Guan Feng with his other hand.
Snap!
Guan Feng slapped him across the face with his backhand.
"I'm giving you time to calm down and think things through! Hitting someone? You should think twice before deciding whether you have the ability!"
He pushed Ding Li down onto the sofa.
Ding Li fell heavily to the ground, then looked at Shang Wanting and asked, "Wanting, is that what you think too?"
Shang Wanting shook her head and said, "Ding Li, even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. Besides, Nana is our only child. You want money? No problem, I'll transfer it to you right now, okay? Just let Nana go."
Ding Li neither admitted nor denied it, saying, "Transfer the money first, and I'll contact someone to see if we can rescue Nana."
Shang Wanting said, "How can I make sure they won't kill the hostage?"
Ding Li said, "Nana is also my child, I will not hurt her."
Shang Wanting hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay! I'll transfer 50 million to you first! Once Nana returns safely, I'll transfer the remaining 50 million to you immediately, okay?"
Ding Li said noncommittally, "You go first."
Without saying a word, Shang Wanting dialed the Dong office and asked them to transfer the money. She then looked at Ding Li and asked, "Is it still the same bank card number?"
Ding Li said, "Yes."
Shang Wanting said, "Just use the previous account."
A moment later.
With a "ding" notification, 50 million yuan was transferred to Ding Li's phone.
When he saw the number, he could hardly believe it. He called the bank to inquire and confirmed that 50 million yuan had been allocated. He immediately felt relieved and said to Shang Wanting in a gentle tone, "Wanting! I didn't intend to take this step. It's just that these few sums of money have been suffocating me."
"But don't worry, Nana is my daughter, how could I possibly hurt her? I'll have someone release Nana right away."
Shang Wanting wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Okay! I believe you. Now have them release the person."
Ding Li started making phone calls.
