Lu Fan was well aware that this million was always a hurdle. According to the other party's usual methods, once it reached a certain point, the money would gradually decrease, giving him a glimmer of hope that he could resolve the situation.
But it can never be broken through.
This was a complete and utter idea that made it impossible to take another step forward.
This method is quite cruel, yet quite effective. In most cases, people become powerless because they are being controlled.
There is definitely a mole within the police force right now. If I act rashly and cause problems behind the scenes, it could indeed lead to Old Zhang's daughter becoming a hostage.
If things get serious, we might even be killed by the other side. Right now, the most important thing is to ensure that Lao Zhang's value is not compromised. As long as we have enough value to them, the other side will not go so far as to kill us.
"Don't worry about this. We can keep them calm and let things develop gradually. We'll notify the police when the time is right, and then we can resolve the immediate crisis."
Lu Fan knew that they couldn't solve so many problems on their own; the police had to get involved.
Moreover, this matter is far too big, even though there are people watching it from behind the scenes.
But Lu Fan wanted to use Sun Yue as a lead to investigate further, because if the culprit behind this wasn't caught, then he would be in trouble.
With some police departments getting involved, the difficulty of completing the task on their own is constantly increasing.
Have you told anyone else about this?
Lu Fan looked at Lao Zhang with a very serious expression. He knew very well that if outsiders knew about this matter, it would add a lot of uncertainty.
Especially if the other party calls the police without authorization, that would be troublesome. He immediately thought of several of the village chief's relatives who had gone to help because the village chief's daughter had been kidnapped. Could there be some connection between the two?
Old Zhang, standing to the side, quickly shook his head. After what happened last time, he dared not look for anyone again.
"This matter has always been a burden on my heart. How can I bear to tell others? If something really goes wrong, it will be my daughter who gets hurt!"
Old Zhang knelt on the ground, staring blankly into the distance. At that moment, he was like a kite with a broken string, with nowhere to go.
Lu Fan shook his head helplessly, thinking of Old Zhang, who worked diligently every day but ended up in this state, and he felt a little sorry for him.
"Don't worry, since this matter was initiated by us, we will definitely handle it perfectly for you. You can continue working with them during this time, but if there are any suspicious developments, please report them to us."
Lu Fan felt that if they continued to put Lao Zhang in there as an inside man, their work would be much more efficient.
Moreover, with Lao Zhang leading the way, he still had far fewer troubles.
In particular, knowing their next move allows for a quick and appropriate response.
Old Zhang nodded, and Lu Fan, who was standing next to him, took out 100,000 yuan from the drawer. He knew that if he took out too much, the other party would find out. If it was a small amount, it might still be useful.
"Here's 100,000 yuan. Take it first. If possible, you can mix it in with the money. It might speed up the reunion between you and your daughter."
Old Zhang shook his head. He knew very well that every time he received money, the other party would keep a record. Otherwise, although he was poor, he had friends all over the world.
He could lend a little money, but unfortunately, he was helpless in the face of the situation.
“They record everything that is useless. I once slipped them some money, but it was useless. They only keep track of what they have calculated! Every time money is sent, several people will check the accounts, just to be on the safe side.”
Lu Fan frowned slightly. If that were the case, one million was simply impossible; this was just keeping Lao Zhang hanging on.
"We'll cooperate with you during this time to help you finish ahead of schedule, but we don't know if the other party will keep their promise."
If I set up a few schemes and Lao Zhang cooperates, I can not only get leverage over him, but also make some money for Lao Zhang. Why not?
If we really need that million, and they actually release our daughter, that would definitely be a good thing.
"Take this money first. If you really need it, use it to bribe people. Money is essential in this business. If you run out of it, just let me know."
Old Zhang nodded when he heard this, after all, he had previously given his daughter a little money, hoping to make her life better.
He now has a current partner who will sell him some information about her daughter.
Although the price was a bit high, it at least gave him some comfort.
As he took the money from his hand, he looked at Lu Fan and bowed deeply.
"I apologize for what I did before. If I had told the truth there, they would all have been arrested!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. He understood the bond between children; it was something that couldn't be severed.
A father can do anything for his daughter; at most, his behavior might be a little extreme.
"That matter is in the past, you blind man. We are not on the united front. Our priority is to rescue your daughter."
As for what happened behind the scenes, I will send people to investigate, and I will notify you as soon as the investigation is complete!
It must be said that every clue provided by Lao Zhang was extremely important. A few more of them would have made a world of difference to what happened next.
Don't let Lu Fan fully realize that a behemoth is constantly manipulating the situation in the entire South City behind the scenes.
After Lao Zhang left, Jiang Manyue frowned. He felt that if things continued like this, they would only get stuck in this quagmire.
Especially considering that the other party hadn't revealed a single clue from beginning to end, yet they were already in such a sorry state.
Just to be on the safe side, she didn't want to provoke them any further.
"How about I find someone to look for clues about them and leave them completely when the time comes? I feel like it's too much trouble to keep dragging this on."
Lu Fan, standing to the side, frowned deeply. The more he saw this, the more he wanted to challenge himself.
He understood even better how to give the other party control of the entire Jinhai. Given the current situation, the Ximen family would definitely continue to exploit them.
Even the Dongfang family, whom I just gained control of, will betray me!
