Chapter 2780: Only Give Them Five Minutes
After lunch, we went to meet the family members who had detained Leng Shaojia.
As for the other party, the ambassador has already made an appointment for them to meet with the family at 2 p.m., United Kingdom time.
This family is a second-rate family in the United Kingdom of England, the Thomas family. Although it is a second-rate family, the Thomas family has a daughter who married the vice president, a daughter who married the young master of a first-rate family, and a son who married the daughter of the richest family in the capital of the United Kingdom of England.
Therefore, although the Thomas family is a second-rate family, its power is no less than that of a first-rate family. Otherwise, they would not be so arrogant and deliberately go against the Leng family, the first family of the United Kingdom of Emperor Pu and Dongxia.
Yes, this was deliberate opposition, because they had detained Leng Shaojia privately, which was already a violation of the law, but the other party's request that Leng Yuanqian personally go to resolve the issue was reasonable, and therefore, the Ambassador of the United Kingdom of Emperor Pudongxia had no way to deal with them.
Otherwise, they would have taken the initiative to settle the matter for her because of Leng Shaojia's identity, and Leng Yuanqian would not have to come in person.
As for why the Thomas family deliberately targeted the Leng family, it was certainly not as simple as Leng Shaojia accidentally injuring the son of the Thomas family, but because they had colluded with a family in the United Kingdom of Dipu and Dongxia.
Of course, this has not been investigated yet, but Gu Ning and the others have speculated this way, and they think it is very likely.
At one o'clock they headed for the Thomas family.
Along the way, Leng Yuanqian was never calm, and the same was true for everyone except Gu Ning and Si Jin.
Before coming, Gu Ning and others had already discussed that no matter what happened, Si Jin's responsibility was to protect Leng Yuanqian, while other matters would be handled by Gu Ning.
Because this was obviously a conspiracy, so they went into the Thomas family. The Thomas family was afraid that they would put forward some conditions to Leng Yuanqian. If they did not agree, the Thomas family would secretly do something to them.
Of course, Gu Ning was not worried about the secret action. They had already discussed that if the injured could be rescued by then, if the Thomas family still refused to give in, then they would not be polite.
The Thomas family holds an important position in the United Kingdom of Imperial England, but their strength is not absolute. Their family situation is the same as that of the families in the United Kingdom of Imperial East Asia. Many families are fighting for power.
Therefore, if something serious happens to the Thomas family, there will be many people who will come to take advantage of the situation.
They are the vice president's forces, but there is also a president's forces watching them get into trouble!
When Gu Ning and his group arrived at the Thomas family's home, it was ten minutes until two o'clock, and then the guard came in to inform them.
The Thomas family is a big family, so the place where they live is naturally extremely luxurious. It is not a villa but a large manor.
The distance from the front gate to the main house is about fifty or sixty meters!
After the security guard called the main house to pass the message, they were allowed to pass through, but their car was not allowed to enter and their bodies were searched to prevent them from bringing in weapons.
All the weapons they needed were already in Gu Ning's space, so they didn't need to carry any weapons in their hands or on their bodies.
If a conflict really happens, Gu Ning will take out a bunch of guns and explosives in a second. If they use force and make threats, Gu Ning and his men will not lose.
Now that technology is advanced, there is no need for manual searches. You can just go through the security check channel. If there are weapons, they will be detected immediately.
However, they were unarmed, so after passing security, they were taken directly to the main house.
Most of the Thomas family members were present, but they were all in the main house. Gu Ning and the others were taken to a three-story building on the right side of the main house, which was the Thomas family's special meeting place.
If the Thomas family has guests, they will be received there, and if accommodation is arranged, it will also be in this building.
After all, the main house is a very important place, and only family members, or close friends and relatives can enter.
After Gu Ning and his group entered the Thomas family, they attracted the attention of people around them along the way.
Of course they knew the identities of these visitors. After all, what happened to the Thomas family was no longer a secret.
When approaching the reception building, Gu Ning turned on the perspective and scanned it first to prevent the Thomas family from arranging anything that should not be arranged inside.
There is no dangerous arrangement, just surveillance cameras everywhere.
Also, Leng Shaojia was locked in a guest room on the third floor and tied to the bed. There were many slap marks on his cheeks and bruises on his body.
Although Gu Ning didn't like Leng Shaojia, she still felt angry when she saw her being treated like this.
It seems that this negotiation is destined to not end well.
Fortunately, Leng Shaojia was still conscious, which meant that her injuries were not serious.
Several people came to the reception room. The messenger of the Thomas family asked them to sit down and wait, and then left. They were the only ones left in the hall.
"Maybe the other party is deliberately keeping us waiting for a long time to give us a warning?" one person said.
"I think it's very likely," another person responded.
"I'll only give them five minutes. If they don't show up within five minutes, I'll go upstairs and take a good look around." Gu Ning said, and while saying this, his eyes deliberately looked at the surveillance camera in the corner.
Although Gu Ning was not sure that the other party was watching the surveillance camera at the moment, he guessed that it was very likely. If he was, he would definitely be able to see and hear what she said.
If the other party was deliberately monitoring them, then they must want to hear what they are saying, and then, the person monitoring them must be someone who is proficient in the language of the United Kingdom of Emperor Pudongxia.
If the other party really doesn't arrive within five minutes, she will go and bring Leng Shaojia out first.
However, if they come within five minutes, she will not bring Leng Shaojia out yet.
After all, if he were to bring Leng Shaojia out like this, it would cause some unnecessary trouble. However, if he made them wait for a long time and gave them a warning, it would not be in vain.
Gu Ning's guess was correct. Someone from the other side was watching them through surveillance, and the people from the Thomas family also wanted to come over later to give them a warning.
However, when he heard Gu Ning's words, he didn't hesitate and came over immediately.
Leng Shaojia is upstairs. If we let them go upstairs, won’t they find her?
Leng Yuanqian and the others didn't know that Leng Shaojia was upstairs, but when they heard Gu Ning's words and saw the direction she was looking, they knew what she meant.
