Chapter 441: A Solution Found
But Wen Han was different; the relationship between Wen Han and Xiao Fang wasn't that deep, so emotions wouldn't cause trouble.
Able to analyze calmly.
I stopped in my tracks.
Wen Han said, "Brother Jianqiang, sit down first.
Let's discuss properly how to rescue Miss Xiao Fang."
I retreated to my seat.
Sat down.
I took a drag of my cigarette, looked at Wen Han and said, "Mr. Wen, I was a bit impatient just now; please forgive me."
"I understand your feelings. Miss Xiao Fang is a fine girl. I also enjoy chatting with her. She isn't like Shen Honghong.
Xiao Fang is especially quiet.
Actually, I'm not very active either.
I prefer girls who are a bit more quiet.
Brother Jianqiang originally didn't want to discuss this with you,
but I want to explain my feelings to you,
It's that Miss Xiao Fang was taken by Zhou Jie, which pains me deeply.
Even if it hurts more, I must endure it.
Just now I saw your attitude was so resolute.
I feel my actions aren't as decisive as yours.
Sometimes I become overly fussy.
This time Xiao Fang got into trouble; I must take responsibility. It would have been better not to let Shen Honghong take Miss Xiao Fang out. Directly refusing Shen Honghong would have avoided all this.
When Shen Honghong asked, my heart softened.
I really should be like you, daring to love and hate."
Wen Han, smoking, explained.
"Mr. Wen, now is not the time to talk about responsibility; the real matter is to find a way to rescue Xiao Fang."
"Right, we must devise a plan. Brother Jianqiang, they seem already anxious, ready to act, trying to snatch Shen Honghong."
Since that's the case, we need to find a way to draw Zhou Jie out,
Once Zhou Jie is drawn out, we can have him in our grasp.
That way, our leverage increases, and our bargaining power with the Zhou Family grows.
Brother Jianqiang, am I right?
"I get your meaning: bind Zhou Jie, then exchange him for Xiao Fang. Only then will the Zhou Family release Xiao Fang. Mr. Wen, you're right; we can't confront them openly, so we'll act covertly.
That's a good idea.
Mr. Wen, you plan to use Shen Honghong to draw Zhou Jie out.
I said, "I don't agree with that."
"Why don't you agree? Explain." Wen Han said.
"The reason I disagree is that Shen Honghong was frightened this time; psychologically she no longer dares to face the Zhou Family.
Moreover, Shen Honghong is a trump card in our hands; if we're careless and they truly capture her, what then?
We must protect Shen Honghong with utmost care right now.
I heard Zhou Jie likes gambling; we can craft a scheme around gambling.
"Brother Jianqiang, your analysis is correct; Zhou Jie is especially fond of gambling. We can devise a plan in that area, and he also likes to frequent Wang Ge's venue. We can set a trap there to capture him." Wen Han said.
"Capturing him at Wang Ge's place is a good idea. However, none of us can appear publicly; he would recognize us. That would alert the situation and could implicate Wang Ge. Right now Wang Ge is preparing to overthrow the Zhou Family.
I worried, "If something goes wrong at Wang Ge's venue, will it affect Wang Ge?"
"Right, you make sense. Let me contact Wang Ge and ask: besides Wang Ge's venue, does Zhou Jie also frequent that other venue?"
I'm unfamiliar with the underground casino in Sijiucheng; Wang Ge knows it well. I trust Wang Ge will know Zhou Jie's whereabouts." Wen Han said.
After speaking, Wen Han stood up and went to the study to call Wang Ge.
After about ten minutes, Wen Han emerged.
I asked directly, "What did Wang Ge say?"
Wang Ge said it's best not to move against Zhou Jie now, because at the critical point he has already shown the computer contents to the relevant personnel.
The relevant personnel are now applying for a secret investigation into the Zhou Family.
Wang Ge also asked us to protect Shen Honghong and Liu Shiru and others; when the time is right, they will be handed over to the appropriate authorities." Wen Han said.
After Wen Han finished, I fell silent briefly, then said, "Wang Ge makes sense; if we act against Zhou Jie now, it will inevitably provoke a strong backlash from the Zhou Family.
A secret investigation of the Zhou Family would become difficult.
Alright, Mr. Wen, tell Wang Ge that I will handle this, and you both will not take part; you will act as if you know nothing.
The people I'll mobilize are also unfamiliar to you.
Just tell me where Zhou Jie often appears.
"It seems Brother Jianqiang truly wants to save Miss Xiao Fang, so let me ask Wang Ge again." After speaking, Wen Han went back into the room to contact Wang Ge.
There was no major meeting; Wen Han came out,
"Wang Ge said, if something happens, you'll bear it personally; it's none of our business, and we won't rescue you.
You must also cut off contact with us. Can you do that?"
"I can do it." I said seriously.
"Alright, Wang Ge said that besides his underground casino, Zhou Jie often goes to the Henri Grand Hotel in Yanbei. There's an underground entertainment city there."
"Especially every Saturday, Zhou Jie would go there to play all night." Wen Han looked at me and said.
"Okay, Mr. Wen, I understand, then I'm leaving."
I finished speaking and stood up.
"Just leaving like that, what can you accomplish by going like this?" Wen Han said.
"Please give me instructions, Mr. Wen." I said.
"Your gambling funds? At that Henry Grand Hotel, without tens of millions you can't even get in the door."
"Like this, I still have 50 million in cash, I'll give it all to you as gambling funds; go to that boss to get the money, and there you'll also find your new ID, which can stand up to scrutiny." Wen Han finished speaking and stood up.
"Thank you, Mr. Wen. Once things are settled, I will repay you double your money." I said.
"Money is trivial; the most important thing is to safely rescue Miss Xiao Fang. Actually, I'm also worried about Miss Xiao Fang." Wen Han muttered to himself.
I didn't speak further, then got up to take my leave of Wen Han.
I returned to the room,
brought Shi Yong and Ding Li over,
then said: "Ding Li, Shi Yong, let's go now."
Ding Li said: "Where to?"
"Northern Yan Henry Grand Hotel." I said.
Shi Yong asked: "What are we going there to do?"
"To rescue Miss Xiao Fang."
"Oh, I understand, Miss Xiao Fang is being held there; alright, let's go now." Shi Yong said.
At this time, Wen Han arranged for someone to bring us two car keys,
so we could drive two cars out from the underground parking garage.
We then went down to the underground parking garage via the elevator,
and drove out two luxury cars with Sijiucheng license plates.
Then we drove the cars to that boss's place,
that boss had already prepared the money and documents for us.
"Mr. Zhao, I have prepared all the cash, a total of 50 million, five million per box, ten boxes—do you still need to count?"
I said: "Boss, this is criticizing me. We've known each other for so long, we're old friends.
Besides, from now on don't contact me; we should cut off all ties between us."
"Second Master Wen has already arranged it for me. The documents are in the car, you three each have one." The boss said.
"Okay, goodbye, boss." I shook hands with the boss,
then moved all ten boxes of money onto the car.
The three of us drove the cars heading toward Northern Yan.
As for what will happen in Northern Yan, I don't know either; I only have one goal, which is to rescue Xiao Fang.
Otherwise I would be uneasy for the rest of my life.
