"You'd better understand. If we need to step in again next time, it won't just be you who disappears, but the entire Li family!"
"Do as I say, and the money will be ready tomorrow. I don't care what methods you use, and don't make any excuses. I only care about the results!"
"If you don't see the money tomorrow, your son will disappear, and no one will be able to find him."
After saying that, the cold female voice disappeared.
The chilling killing intent also vanished along with it.
Old Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, panting heavily.
Then I couldn't resist going outside to see what the security guards outside were doing.
However, what he saw were people lying sprawled on the ground.
These security personnel, whom he had hired at great expense, were utterly helpless in the face of the other side's strength.
No wonder they were able to enter his room silently and threaten him as if no one else was around.
At that moment, Old Li felt an unprecedented fear.
A fear of not being able to control one's fate.
It was as if a knife was constantly hanging over their heads.
The key point is that the other party still has someone backing them up.
The higher-ups are dissatisfied with their actions and are now resorting to forceful suppression instead of reasoning!
If you don't listen, then disappear. It's that simple!
Old Li took a deep breath; he felt he needed to devise a backup plan.
However, just as he was thinking about these things, he suddenly noticed a knife stuck in the ground on his desk, with a letter attached to it. The letter, written on printed paper, read:
"Don't even think about running away. Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, we can still make your whole family disappear!"
"Take care of yourself!"
Upon seeing this line of text, Old Li gasped again.
This has even cut off their escape route; it seems the other side can anticipate their plans.
They could clearly see his immediate desire to run away.
For a moment, Old Li could only manage a wry smile.
It seems he had gotten a bit cocky before, especially after receiving strong support from above, which made him a lot of money in the East, making it easier for his wealth to grow.
It seems that they won't let go unless I bleed a little.
He's really done for this time. From any perspective, they have him completely under their control.
Soon, Lao Li called several of his other friends:
"Old Guo, you..."
On the other end of the phone, Lao Guo's lifeless voice came through:
"Old Li, has someone already spoken to you?"
Old Li couldn't help but sigh.
Hearing Lao Li sigh, Lao Guo lost all hope.
"Well, it seems we have no choice but to accept our defeat this time."
"I never expected him to have such confidence; the higher-ups actually gave him such extensive authority."
“He has already threatened all of us, so we have no choice but to obey his every command.”
"Let's back all the plans we had before. I don't want to die, and I certainly don't want to end up with a broken family and a ruined home."
"Old Li, I admit defeat, I'll pay you back."
What are your own thoughts?
Old Li gave a wry smile:
“What else can I think? I paid the ransom when my eldest son was kidnapped.”
"This time they have a more legitimate reason, so they have no choice but to pay the money."
"We really brought this on ourselves. If we had known, we wouldn't have provoked this guy. Wouldn't it have been better to just stay on the sidelines and make money peacefully?"
The two exchanged wry smiles and finally reached a consensus: the money had to be given, the words had to be obeyed, and they would have to keep a low profile from now on.
They've made a lot of money in recent years, and by any measure, they've become a bit arrogant.
The children, in particular, were even more lawless.
Others just don't know it; they all know that their own little rascals are more adventurous than anyone else.
They were young once too, so they understand and feel that this is a necessary part of growing up.
So they went with the children.
But that's probably not possible now; we'll have to keep a low profile from now on.
Moreover, we can no longer be as greedy as before.
Let's see what Zhao Chen and his team's plans are next.
So, what happened next became quite simple and straightforward.
None of the four major families were able to escape; they all paid a substantial sum of money to redeem all the children.
Of course, no one can ever prove that Zhao Chen did these things, but he did get the money.
However, to be honest, all of this money adds up to nearly 10 billion, and Zhao Chen never thought that he would end up with such a huge hot potato.
He communicated everything directly with his superiors and arranged for someone to come and receive the funds.
The people above were also stunned.
Good heavens, this little tyrant of the Zhao family is really ruthless.
The most troublesome problem was solved directly and in the most brutal way.
The key point is that these once unruly tycoons in Hong Kong are now all stable and obedient, and there is no longer any sign of them being arrogant like before.
The bigwigs in Hong Kong also found it unbelievable after hearing the news.
But at the same time, he was even more shocked by the power in Zhao Chen's hands.
It doesn't represent the true strength of the upper echelons, yet it possesses an extremely powerful deterrent effect.
Now everyone knows that Zhao Chen is not someone to be trifled with, but he's not unreasonable either.
At least they are trustworthy.
The money was paid, the person was released, and no further trouble was caused to the other party.
Even those few guys, though trapped in one place these past few days, have been treated to good food and drink.
They were quite arrogant at first, but after being taught a lesson a few times, they immediately became obedient.
At the same time, they have also experienced unprecedented fear in the past few days.
Although they were treated to fine food and wine, life is not just about eating; the things they experienced during that time are not for outsiders to know.
The entire group of wealthy families gave the same story: they've confessed and are begging for mercy...
Seeing that these guys no longer dared to cause trouble and were as docile as kittens, Zhao Chen simply gave a contemptuous smile.
Now he completely agrees with that statement: he trained his fists so that he could reason with idiots.
With all the problems resolved, the rest of the plan will naturally proceed smoothly.
In particular, the bigwigs in Hong Kong gave him the green light all the way, and he quickly accomplished many things.
The infrastructure construction in the suburbs was also completed at a rapid pace, showing everyone what "Eastern speed" truly means.
Moreover, as this area has developed, many people who couldn't find jobs before now have new employment opportunities.
They even attracted many skilled workers from the East, and the area underwent large-scale construction, leading to a thriving economy.
It feels like the port city has suddenly taken a new direction.
