Once Chen Defa made a public statement and the Hong Kong media hyped it up, it became impossible to conceal the matter.
Some things cannot be concealed by a few people just because they want to.
Only one hour after Chen Defa’s statement was made public, an investigation team composed of several special departments set out from Peiping to Tianjin.
Li Xiang was stunned. This was completely different from what he had imagined. He never thought that Four Seasons Group had such great power that even foreigners were alarmed.
The higher-ups directly dispatched a special department to participate in the investigation of the case, even completely bypassing the Tianjin authorities.
Li Xiang, who felt that something was wrong, also responded in his own way. The first thing he did was to give a sum of money to all his men who participated in the operation that night and let them escape.
And don't go home, just get the money and leave, the farther the better.
At least on the surface, he had nothing to do with these people. His operation to the hotel that night was also secret. Only the head of the hotel security knew about it, and this head of security had already escaped.
The second thing Li Xiang did was to rush back home and seek his father's help.
Li Jianming had also learned about the situation in Tianjin from other channels. He was shocked and angry. When he saw his eldest son coming back, he immediately slapped him:
"Asshole, look at what you've done! It's caused an international uproar, and even the highest levels are furious. How dare you, a beast, be so bold? Breaking the hands and feet of an employee is one thing, but you even dared to kidnap the boss of Four Seasons Group? Where is he now? Let him go immediately."
Li Xiang sat down on the ground: "I can't let go..."
Li Jianming also sat down on the chair: "You, you, you, you...?"
"No, no, absolutely not. He disappeared before I could do anything?"
"Missing? What happened? Well, you little beast, you really plan to kill someone? Who gave you the guts? I told you to teach them a lesson. I never asked you to do such a thing as murder and arson."
Li Jianming was so angry that he almost beat his chest and stamped his feet. Now that the relevant departments have intervened, how could they not find out?
"Dad, I didn't kill him. He said he wanted to write a suicide note and didn't want to be disturbed. But when we broke into the room, he was gone. We were all gathered around the room at the time, and we don't know how he disappeared!"
Li Xiang hurriedly explained that he already understood that if Chen Xia could not be found, even if he did not kill the person, it would be considered a homicide.
Would Li Jianming believe his son's lies? He was in his room, and then suddenly disappeared. Would the relevant authorities believe him?
So he looked at his eldest son coldly: "You are not such a ruthless person. Tell me, why are you so determined to kill Chen Xia?"
"It was Uncle Li from Hong Kong who told me to do this. He also told me that I would deal with Chen Xia in the mainland, while he would deal with the elders of the Chen family in Hong Kong. He told us to work together from the inside and outside to swallow up the Chen family's assets together, and everything in the mainland would belong to us.
Yes, the Four Seasons Hospital and Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical will all belong to us. Then, let my second brother go to Yuezhou to be the director of the Four Seasons Hospital. He will get back up where he fell. Without Chen Xia's meddling, he will definitely be able to do a good job as the director."
Li Jianming closed his eyes and thought that his son was really stupid and was being used as a gun.
If Chen Xia died and Four Seasons Group collapsed, how would they get the biggest piece of the pie? It's a Hong Kong company, so of course Hong Kong people will get the lion's share.
Well, even if you have a careful plan, Four Seasons Group has now threatened to withdraw its investment and is ready to go all out. What are you going to do?
If we really want to take action, we should learn from the Chen family and eradicate the problem completely to solve the problem in the future.
Now that the youngest member of the Chen family is missing and the old one is furious, the whole situation is in turmoil. How can Li Jianming handle such a big thing?
"You beast, now that the situation has become like this, how did your Uncle Li discuss this with you?"
Li Jianming's hometown is Chaozhou. There is a famous "Chaozhou Gang" in Hong Kong. Four of the top ten richest people are from Chaozhou. In fact, both Lis are from Chaozhou.
The "Uncle Li" that Li Xiang mentioned was actually just a clan relative of Li Xiang's family, and their relationship was already beyond the fifth degree of mourning.
But even if you are rich, you still have distant relatives. He is one of the top ten richest people in Hong Kong, so of course Li Jianming and his son have to give him a slap in the face.
This Uncle Li was the later famous "comprador Li", Li Jiancheng, a person that Chen Xia never dreamed of.
When Li Xiang heard his father's question, he quickly said:
"Uncle Li said that the Chen family is going all out now, so we should clean up our hands first. As for the mess left after the Chen family withdraws their investment, he will take over and let us rest assured. But there is only one condition: don't involve him in this matter no matter what."
Li Jianming breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the Hong Kong Li family admitted their mistake, it would be fine. He was most afraid that the other party would turn against him, which would be a big trouble.
In fact, Li Jianming never thought that the other party really wanted to turn against him, but they were really scared. They were afraid that if they knew that the Hong Kong Li family was supporting them, the Chen family would wipe out their entire family.
Therefore, he would rather spend money and effort to suppress this matter, and even fill the investment gap of the Chen family.
If Chen Xia really died and swallowed up the Chen family, the Li Jiancheng and Li Jianming families would definitely eat until they were full.
While the Li family father and son were discussing countermeasures, the relevant departments had already found the Jinmen Hotel. Experts took action and immediately identified the first suspect.
Head of hotel security department.
That night, it was this section chief who leaked the news of Chen Xia's check-in, and it was he who tricked the key from the front desk. He was a guide.
So he is a key figure. If we catch him, we can find out who kidnapped him that night.
But when the relevant authorities searched the entire Tianjin and finally found him in the neighboring Beihe Province, he was already a corpse.
Someone silenced the witness in advance, and the clue was cut off.
Many people started cursing after finding out, and were extremely anxious because the 24 hours stipulated by the Chen family had passed.
Chen Defa was not polite either. All his industries in the mainland, except for the Four Seasons Hospital which continued to operate due to special circumstances, all other branches had suspended operations.
Originally, in order to be a patriotic Hong Kong businessman, the Chen family kept all their profits in the bank over the years and never converted them into US dollars for distribution.
This time, all branches of the Chen family applied for the first batch of foreign exchange transactions worth 1.8 billion yuan, which is about 350 million US dollars.
Then there is the second batch.
All fixed assets have also started bidding and are ready for public sale, including the branches of Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Company, Yuezhou Textile Company, Yuezhou Small Commodity Company, Yuezhou Film and Television City, and three professional markets, all of which are to be sold.
The determination to withdraw investment is obvious and there is no room for negotiation.
For a time, all walks of life were shocked
No one expected that the Chen family would act so decisively and withdraw as soon as they said they would. Even Yuezhou and Chen Xia's wife, sons and daughters also withdrew to Hong Kong.
