Back at the company, all the brothers except Murong Jie had returned. They gathered together to report on the work they had been busy with that day and night. Hao Zhengguang placed the financial statistics on the table and sighed slightly:
"We've gathered all our liquid funds over the past two days, but ultimately only managed to scrape together a little over 50 million. The rest is basically real estate. Although the total value far exceeds 50 million, with such a large sum in such a short time, not only is it impossible to find a suitable buyer, but even if someone were willing to invest, we wouldn't be able to complete the relevant procedures..."
Lin Lidong responded, "I've already inquired, and the three Tianqi properties can be quickly mortgaged, along with the cars, houses, and some of our savings. However, compared to the total funding gap, these are still a drop in the bucket and won't be of much help at all.
I've also sent people to investigate the movements of Wu Feiyue and the others. They've apprehended quite a few of his followers this day, but they were all former Wenshan Trade employees who were either fired or voluntarily resigned half a month ago. They've completely severed all ties with Wu Feiyue and Wenshan Trade, and can't provide any useful clues..."
You Tianfu crossed his hands over his forehead, forcing himself to calm his anxious and chaotic thoughts. He took several deep breaths before straightening his back. "We are businessmen, and this is also a business. Since it's a business, there's room for negotiation."
Wu Feiyue is making a desperate attempt this time. He has realized his own strength and knows that even if he can get all the old customers to come back, he will not be able to support the entire Wenshan Trade. That's why he wants to blackmail us and then take the money to go abroad and live a carefree life!
Even if he has hostages and asks for 100 million, we can't agree unconditionally. Even if we only have 50 million now, between a few lives and 50 million, I believe he will still consider himself first and choose the latter!
Jiang San's face tightened beside him. "That being said, the current issue isn't whether we can negotiate, but how. Ever since that phone call yesterday, Wu Feiyue has been heartbroken and has completely disappeared. We have no chance to negotiate a price with him!"
"We are in the light and he is in the dark. It is not difficult to transmit some information through the air!" You Tianfu shook his head slightly: "Although Wu Feiyue is hiding, it is impossible to completely cut off contact with the outside world. He must have his own spies lurking around and keeping an eye on our movements!
I'll contact Ajie right now and have him release this news on the dark web. It won't be long before it reaches Wu Feiyue's ears, and then he'll naturally contact us!"
After he finished speaking, he took out his cell phone, lit up the screen and was about to dial, but Murong Jie called him first. After the call was connected, he shouted breathlessly: "Brother Tian, I caught one of Wu Bangzi's subordinates, but he is so stubborn. He is at the Xishan warehouse, come quickly!
Whether we can make a comeback this time depends entirely on whether this guy will take action or not!"
Upon hearing this, everyone seemed to be energized, and it was as if a light bulb had lit up on the dark road before their eyes. They stopped talking in the meeting and rushed out of the office and headed straight for the Xishan warehouse!
More than half an hour later, two cars arrived one after another, and You Tianfu, Hao Zhengguang, Lin Lidong, Jiang San, Li Wen and several younger brothers all rushed up the mountain.
When I arrived at the designated warehouse location, I saw Murong Jie sitting at the door with a sad look on his face, his body and face covered in blood.
When he got closer and saw his condition, You Tianfu first looked him over and asked, "Ajie, are you okay?"
Murong Jie wiped the blood off his arm, shook his head and replied, "I'm fine. This is all the blood of that kid inside. According to my inquiries, Wu Wenshan organized a lot of brothers for this operation. After kidnapping the hostages, they found a place to hide. There are about seven or eight people whose identities can be confirmed, including Fang Yitian, and the kid inside is one of them.
Speaking of which, this guy was quite unlucky. I was eating at the food court next to the harbor. I had just picked up the relevant information when I looked up and saw him and another guy buying lunch boxes. They bought more than 30 of them.
There were not many people around at the time, so they caught one and let the other get away. Now many people are still searching for him.
This guy is tough, and he's also tough. I beat him to a pulp, but he didn't say a word. I'm at my wit's end, so you guys try..."
After hearing this, Lin Lidong's face immediately darkened. He started to roll up his sleeves as he walked towards the warehouse: "It's not that he's tough, it's that you were too soft!"
