Chapter 158: Demanding Ransom

Upon hearing Lu Jingqing say that, Chairman Han felt as if the sky were about to collapse.

Why would Han Li, who was perfectly fine, suddenly kidnap Su Yun Jiao?

"It's a misunderstanding! This must be a misunderstanding! My son has already cut ties with me—I really don't know what's going on……"

Chairman Han still wanted to say something, but Secretary Li directly handed the phone over to Chairman Han.

On the other end of the phone.

Han Li's voice drilled into Chairman Han's ears.

"I want fifty million. Fifty million is a drop in the bucket for you—I don't believe Lu Jingqing's fiancée isn't worth that price."

The voice on the other end of the phone was indeed Han Li's.

Upon realizing it was his son's voice, Chairman Han's expression grew increasingly grim.

I never expected Han Li to actually dare to kidnap Su Yun Jiao.

"You unfilial son! Do you know what you're doing?! Release her at once!"

Chairman Han's voice was full of anger.

But Han Li said, "We've already severed our father-son ties—what right do you have to order me? And calling me an unfilial son? I tell you, today, no one can stop me."

After saying that, Han Li hung up the phone.

Chairman Han's complexion grew ever darker.

Meanwhile, Lu Jingqing told Secretary Li, "Don't hold back—call the police immediately, and once you find Jiao, arrest her directly."

"Yes, Boss Lu."

Secretary Li quickly went to handle it.

Upon hearing Lu Jingqing intend to directly seize the person, Chairman Han immediately realized something was wrong, hurried forward and said, "Boss Lu, this is my failure as a father—let me handle it; I will definitely not show mercy!"

"Chairman Han, you've already done enough—I previously let it slide out of respect for you, but this time he seems not to take me seriously."

After saying that, Lu Jingqing left directly.

Chairman Han felt as if all his strength had been drained.

Beside him, Madam Han still didn't know what had happened; as she approached Chairman Han she said, "Lu Jingqing is really going too far—our family is a prominent figure in Hai Cheng, yet he just walked away without a care. You really shouldn't, for the sake of cooperating with the Lu family, drive away our son."

"How dare you say that? These days you've been secretly helping Han Li behind my back—I haven't settled the score with you yet! I've already said he's not my son, and now he's even capable of kidnapping—what else couldn't he do?"

Chairman Han shoved his wife away.

This time he touched Lu Jingqing's bottom line.

Everything was over now.

At that moment.

Lu Jingqing had already begun to have people surround the entire dock.

Their people quickly found Han Li's hiding place.

Since Han Li intended to flee, he naturally couldn't bring that much money on a plane—only a ship and the dock were possible.

Secretary Li's people had already prepared a large force at the dock.

As soon as they spotted Han Li, they would move in immediately.

"Boss Lu."

Lu Jingqing's car had already pulled up at the Eastern Dock.

Lu Jingqing got out of the car, raised his binoculars to look at the nearby dock, and asked, "Is Jiao here?"

"For now we can't be sure, but Miss Su is here; our people have already gone to investigate, Boss Lu—you can rest assured, Miss Su will absolutely come to no harm."

"Hmm."

Lu Jingqing had originally intended to spare Han Li's life out of respect for Chairman Han, but who knew Han Li would be so bent on self-destruction.

At that moment, the security guards from Jingyuan brought the few lackeys they had arrested and pressed them directly in front of Lu Jingqing.

"Boss Lu, these are Han Li's accomplices."

He glanced at the several trembling society thugs on the ground.

Lu Jingqing's eyes held no emotion: "Did you get anything out of them?"

"These guys can't withstand a beating—just a little questioning and they spilled everything. Apparently Han Li planned to make a deal at the Eastern Dock, then flee abroad with the money."

"Move in."

"Yes."

The few lackeys still didn't know what Lu Jingqing meant by "move in."

In the next second, the security guards dragged them away directly.

"Save me! I've already said everything—spare me!"

"Boss Lu, spare my life!"

……

Secretary Li said from the side, "Han Li's courage is truly enormous—doesn't he know the Eastern Dock is ours?"

Not to mention the Eastern Dock—all of Hai Cheng falls within Lu Jingqing's surveillance.

Han Li actually thought that once he got the money he could go abroad and live leisurely—how naïve.

"Target spotted."

At that moment, a voice came through Secretary Li's earpiece from his subordinate.

Secretary Li said, "Han Li should be on this ship."

"Tell your people to move lightly—don't alert Han Li."

"Yes."

At that moment.

Inside the steamer.

Su Yun Jiao was tied up by Han Li.

Han Li carefully observed Su Yun Jiao's expression, discovering that there was not a trace of fear on her face.

This was completely unlike what he had imagined before.

Han Li said, "Why aren't you afraid of me?"

The points had already fallen into his hands, yet Su Yun Jiao showed no emotion at all.

Since he probably wouldn't get an answer from Su Yun Jiao, Han Li stepped forward and grabbed her neck: "I'm asking you, why aren't you afraid of me?"

"Because you can't hurt me at all. People like you are rats in a gutter, relying on your father in the first half of your life and only able to earn dishonest money with shady tactics in the second half. What do you think Lu Jingqing is? Would he let you push him around so easily?"

Su Yun Jiao felt that Han Li seriously underestimated Lu Jingqing.

Even if Chairman Han were here, he'd probably have to weigh his own importance.

Han Li let out a cold snort and said, "Don't think Lu Jingqing is that formidable; if he really were, he wouldn't have let you fall into my hands. Moreover, it's been so long already, and Lu Jingqing hasn't even shown his face. In short, you hold no place in his heart. It seems my demand of fifty million is actually a bit too much—I really ought to worry whether he'll let me tear up the ticket."

Han Li was also doing this for the first time.

I never expected Lu Jingqing to be so heartless, unwilling to spend fifty million for his own little beloved wife.

"Rest assured, if Lu Jingqing really doesn't pay, I'll let you die a little more quickly."

Han Li gripped Su Yun Jiao's slender neck: "If I had known Lu Jingqing was this heartless, you should have accepted my kindness back then."

Su Yun Jiao felt Han Li's hand gradually tightening.

At that moment, footsteps suddenly sounded from outside.

Han Li instantly became alert: "Who!"
