Li Ka-shing truly lives up to his reputation as a powerful business tycoon; with just a little thought, he devised a strategy.
He said a few words, and Li Zeju understood them immediately, and couldn't help but admire his father.
Li Ka-shing said: "We'll split up and act separately, with some things being true and some being false."
Li Zeju clapped his hands excitedly, "Yes, let's send more cars to lure away the reporters and possibly hidden police officers outside."
Li Ka-shing frowned and said, "The premise for doing this is that the money must be prepared. How much has been prepared? Is there any problem with that?"
Li Zeju adjusted his glasses and did some mental calculations.
"No problem. As long as we make arrangements with the other party, I'll have our people wait in advance with the money, collect it, and then deliver it to the location designated by them. Rest assured, I will personally oversee the money."
Li Ka-shing nodded, expressing his deep approval: "You're becoming more and more prudent in your work... However, just to be on the safe side, let's go together."
Li Zeju's heart skipped a beat.
However, he showed no change in expression. "Alright. Like father, like son."
In fact, he knew that his father was worried about him and wanted to keep an eye on him so that they could hand over the money together to prevent any accidents from happening.
On the one hand, he was worried about the money, worried that he hadn't delivered the full amount; on the other hand, he was worried that he wouldn't do his best to save Li Zekai.
Although he felt uncomfortable, he didn't say much.
Things have come to this.
Besides, even I wouldn't feel at ease with a billion Hong Kong dollars.
Even if you don't have bad intentions, accidents can still happen.
With my father there to oversee things, I feel much more relaxed.
Over the years, Li Ka-shing has been strict with both himself and Richard Li.
As the eldest son and someone who had been by his father's side for a long time, he knew his father's character and disposition very well.
He knew that his father was the kind of person who cared a lot about the traditional image of a loving father and a filial son.
But my father was also a shrewd businessman, with an almost uncanny ability to observe and understand people's hearts.
At this moment, Li Ka-shing's blatant distrust was unprecedented.
This shows that the father's mind is in turmoil...
After they finished discussing their plan, they waited anxiously.
While waiting, Li Ka-shing and Richard Li kept glancing at the box on the table.
Inside were the fingers lying in the ice.
They knew that this was exactly the kidnappers' strategy.
Remind them to hurry up and provide the ransom so they can get Li Zekai back and have the surgery done quickly to reattach his severed finger.
If they do not cooperate, he may be harmed again, or even lose his life.
Now, all they can do is pray that the other party won't kill them after receiving the money.
To save time, Li Ka-shing and Li Zeju discussed how to shake off their pursuers, planned the best route, and notified their men outside to prepare cash and be ready to deliver it at any time.
At the same time, they selected more than a dozen bodyguards and determined their respective roles, with some driving and others responsible for security.
During this time, the phone kept ringing.
But none of these were the calls from the kidnappers they wanted to receive.
Li Ka-shing had no choice but to answer these calls.
During this time, calls kept coming in, but they couldn't be answered because the lines were busy.
This situation made Li Ka-shing particularly worried, fearing that if he didn't receive a call from the kidnappers, it would delay the rescue of Richard Li.
After thinking about it, he decided to categorize the phone calls.
When dealing with acquaintances, he would simply say, "I'm really sorry, I'm a bit busy right now. How about I call you back when I'm done?"
The other party naturally agreed.
Because their purpose in making the call was to express their feelings and get closer to the other person.
As long as the sentiment is there, that's enough. They both know this isn't the time for casual conversation.
Whether it's them or Li Ka-shing, time is very tight.
In this way, Li Ka-shing quickly dismissed those who made the calls.
Once again, the phone rang.
As soon as Li Jiacheng picked up the phone, he heard someone on the other end say, "Mr. Li, how are your preparations going?... Your son is already impatient. Hehe."
A burst of wild laughter came from the other side.
Li Jiacheng felt another pang of fear and quickly said:
"Alright, alright, we're ready. Everything is negotiable. Whatever your requests are, I'll do my best to fulfill them. We've already prepared the money and hope to deliver it as soon as possible."
"By the way, I still want to say that we didn't call the police or notify the media. I really don't know how the news leaked out. I also guarantee that we will definitely deliver the money to you."
"Also, I'd like to discuss with you whether it's possible to make the delivery earlier. I can gather the money and send it over in at most an hour."
Clearly, the person on the other end was taken aback by Li Jiacheng's initiative.
He paused for a moment before speaking, "Alright then. Since you're being so proactive, I can't be ungrateful. Okay, then tell me how you plan to deliver it."
Although Li Ka-shing found the man's words somewhat lewd, he didn't care anymore.
Li Ka-shing immediately said, "Because the cash is scattered, we need to gather it together first. So, I hope you can give us some time. Call me in an hour, no, half an hour later."
"Sure. But don't try anything funny, or else..." Several more cold snorts came from the other end.
Li Jiacheng quickly replied, "No, no. By the way, please write down my mobile phone number, ********."
