Chapter 369: The Kidnapping of the Second Young Master

The foolish thing done at the banquet last time was told to Li Jiacheng by a loose-lipped friend of Li Er Gongzi.

Afterward, Li Er Gongzi had a streak of bad luck; upon returning home, he was given a severe scolding by his own father.

"What is your brain for? How dare you spout such nonsense?" Li Jiacheng was instantly furious.

He had once crossed paths with Chen Jiajun and knew how difficult that kid was to deal with.

Among the younger generation, let alone those who had crossed paths with him, they weren't even fit to carry Chen Jiajun's shoes.

When that guy was in his twenties, he dared to jump outside the rules and arm-wrestle with top tycoons like them in Hong Kong? The Second Young Master? He was probably still chasing girls and showing off sports cars!

The Second Young Master, who already harbored deep resentment toward Li Jiacheng, certainly wouldn't submit and started arguing back with his father on the spot.

This led to the Second Young Master not returning home for a long time, living outside instead.

This day, having just come out of a cocktail party, he was already tipsy and prepared to go home for a good sleep.

It was just that when the driver passed by a construction site, the car suddenly shook violently.

This jolt woke the Second Young Master up, and he muttered, "What happened?"

The driver said helplessly, "Boss, it seems the car ran over something!"

Li Zekai hadn't paid any attention at first, but he glanced out the window unconsciously, and the sight instantly scared him so much that his drunkenness faded quite a bit.

"Wait, don't get out!" Before Li Zekai could speak, the bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat grabbed the driver and said in a serious tone, "Roll up the windows and lock the doors! There are people outside!"

The driver was startled and looked out the window, and sure enough, he saw several figures appearing and disappearing in the dark night.

The bodyguard on the side took out a walkie-talkie and was just about to say something when he discovered that the walkie-talkie was filled with "static" noise; the bodyguard called out several times, but no one answered.

Then they heard the vehicle following behind them get rammed and sent flying by a huge black shadow, emitting a loud crash.

The black shadow was a truck, and soon several people jumped off the vehicle and opened fire directly at the car that had been rammed away!

"Rat-tat-tat, rat-tat-tat!"

The irritable sound of gunfire traveled far in the open space of the wilderness.

But this was of no use, because the residents near this construction site had all been relocated, and no one heard it at all.

The bodyguard immediately drew his Handgun and said sternly to the driver, "Don't move! If you dare to get out of the car, I will be the first to shoot you dead!"

The terrified driver could only take his hand off the car door.

Soon, the Second Young Master discovered that quite a few people had surrounded the vehicle; these guys were all holding weapons in their hands, and one look told him they were up to no good.

"Damn it, hurry and think of a way to call the police!" the Second Young Master said with a panicked expression.

The bodyguard smiled bitterly and said, "I'm already trying, but there is no signal here!"

"How is that possible!" The Second Young Master appeared even more flustered.

The gang of robbers outside had no intention of negotiating with the people inside the car; the masked, fierce leader took out an ice axe directly and smashed it against the side window near the driver.

Although the car was bulletproof, glass was glass after all; after a few smashes with the ice axe, a small gap was soon broken open.

The bodyguard shouted at the outside with a fierce look but a cowardly heart, "We have already called the police, don't mess around! If you leave now, we can pretend nothing ever happened!"

"Ha!" The masked robber was none other than Zhang Shihao and his party.

Zhang Shihao sneered, his tone full of contempt.

He continued to struggle to break open the gap in the window, and once it was large enough to fit a fist through, he took out a bottle of tear gas and threw it inside.

Watching the bottle emit a large amount of choking white smoke, the bodyguard knew things had gone bad.

Although he tried his best to cover his nose and mouth, the smoke still choked him until his vision was blurred by tears, and his chest felt as if it were on fire.

In the end, the Second Young Master couldn't hold out any longer; he opened the car door and rushed out, holding up his hands: "Don't shoot, don't shoot! I have money!"

Zhang Shihao immediately had Ye Guohuan and the others take control of the Second Young Master, then pulled the bolt of his gun, waiting for the bodyguard inside the car to jump out.

The bodyguard was worthy of his reputation as an elite; knowing the other side would definitely be waiting for him to come out, he first threw the driver out of the car to distract the sight of Zhang Shihao and the others.

After switching positions, he kicked the car door open and lunged toward the nearest person, Zhang Shihao.

This move was extremely fierce; he had clearly used all his strength.

But Zhang Shihao was not one of those brainless robbers; once he confirmed that the person thrown out was not the bodyguard, he immediately retreated.

Subsequently, the Bujiang in his hands spat out a series of fire tongues toward the driver's side door.

After failing to hit anyone, the bodyguard grabbed the car door to block the attack, but he was still hit in the thigh by a bullet and retreated back into the car.

It felt very much like a mouse pulling a turtle—there was no way to get a handle on it.

But at this moment, Ye Guohuan threw a package to Zhang Shihao and said, "Use this, we should go!"

Seeing the thing Ye Guohuan threw over, Zhang Shihao's eyes lit up.

After throwing that thing onto the roof of the car, he immediately led his men to retreat quickly.

The bodyguard inside the car saw everyone backing away and immediately had an ominous feeling.

A chill rushed straight from his back to his forehead.

He immediately pulled open the car door and rolled out of the vehicle.

The next moment, a violent explosion sounded, and the powerful blast wave flipped him over.

When the battered and bruised bodyguard climbed up, he was faced with several dark gun barrels.

"Rat-tat-tat-tat!"

After a burst of gunfire, this place returned to silence.

Zhang Shihao and Ye Guohuan immediately took the Second Young Master into a van and then grabbed the driver who had been thrown out.

The driver was scared to the point of peeing himself—he really did pee.

He was just someone who drove for a rich young master; where had he ever seen such a big scene?

Trembling, he begged Zhang Shihao not to kill him.

Zhang Shihao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you! But I want you to go back and send a message to Boss Li: tell him his son is in my hands now, and tell him not to call the police and to wait for my call! Do you understand?"

"I... I understand, Boss!" the driver nodded hurriedly.

"Alright, you can get lost now!" Zhang Shihao released the driver's collar, then took the Second Young Master and got straight into a van.

Although the Second Young Master was panicked at this moment, he was not as pathetic as the driver.

He kept talking about offering money, asking these kidnappers to let him go, rambling on in an annoying way.

Ye Guohuan impatiently smashed the Second Young Master to the ground with the butt of his gun, then grabbed a random piece of cloth and stuffed it into his mouth; the world was finally quiet.

No one said much along the way, only the sound of the vehicle moving.

It was unknown how much time had passed when the Second Young Master discovered the vehicle had finally stopped, and he was brought into a strange small cabin.

After arriving at a safe place, Zhang Shihao and Ye Guohuan took off their masks and said to the Second Young Master, "Young Master Li, you don't need to panic, we are only seeking wealth! We won't do anything to you! As long as you are willing to cooperate with us, at most you only need to stay here for two days!"

"Of course, it's not as comfortable here as your home, so you'll have to bear with it for a while. Once your old man sends the money over, I absolutely won't touch a single hair on your head!"

Facing such a threat, the Second Young Master naturally dared not say anything, and could only nod incessantly.

Seeing this guy was so cooperative, Zhang Shihao simply had someone untie him and took the thing out of his mouth.

Then he had someone take the Second Young Master to the room in the back.

Only then did Ye Guohuan speak up: "Why untie him? It'll be troublesome if this kid runs away later!"

Zhang Shihao laughed and said, "Brother Huan, there's no village in front and no shop behind here, where could he run to? Besides, aren't there so many brothers watching him? Letting him go is mainly to make him cooperate with us; otherwise, how would the Big Boss be willing to pay up?"

Ye Guohuan nodded, then asked again: "How much money are you planning to ask his old man for?"

Zhang Shihao sneered: "Of course, the more the better!"

On the other side, the Li Family's Mid-Levels mansion.

The driver who had escaped a disaster ran back in a panic, shouting that he wanted to see Li Jiacheng.

However, he was quickly stopped by the Butler, who scolded: "Are you crazy? If you disturb the master's rest, do you still want your job?"

"Butler Zhou, hurry and notify the master, the Second Young Master has been kidnapped!" The driver gasped for air and said to the Butler intermittently.

The Butler was also shocked after hearing this: "What did you say?"

"I said the Second Young Master has been kidnapped!" The driver repeated it once more.

This time the Butler couldn't be bothered to stop him and bolted toward the inside of the mansion.

Just as Li Jiacheng was preparing to sleep, he saw the Butler enter in a hurry.

He was immediately somewhat displeased and said: "What's going on, why are you so panicked too?"

The Butler swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "Master, the Second Young Master has been kidnapped?"

"What? Who did it?" Li Jiacheng's eyebrows immediately stood up, and his whole body sat straight.

The Butler said: "I don't know either, it was the Second Young Master's driver who ran back to tell me!"

"Let him in!" Li Jiacheng immediately said in a deep voice.

Soon the driver walked in and told Li Jiacheng the whole process of the incident.

"You mean, they were specifically targeting the second one?" Li Jiacheng said with sharp eyes.

"Yes, Master! And they were very professional; the bodyguards beside the Second Young Master were no match for them at all!" Recalling the actions of those kidnappers earlier, the driver felt a lingering fear!

After Li Jiacheng was silent for a moment, he said to the driver: "Go back now and handle the scene! Don't let the Police get involved in this matter!"

"Ah?" The driver was stunned for a moment.

The Butler cursed from the side: "What are you still standing there like a fool for? Go quickly! Let Laomao go with you!"

Only then did the driver react, nodding hurriedly and walking out.

After the driver left, the Butler said with an ugly expression: "Master, are we really not calling the Police for this?"

Li Jiacheng said calmly and coolly: "What's the use of calling the Police? They are clearly here for money, just give them the money! If we let those unreliable Police get involved, who knows what variables might appear?"

Afterwards, he instructed: "This matter cannot be leaked out, not even to the eldest one! Especially not to the Reporter and the Police; just act as if this never happened, understand?"

The Butler could only nod and retreat.

But just as the Butler left, the phone beside Li Jiacheng rang.

This call was naturally from Zhang Shihao.

After asking for the number from the Second Young Master's mouth, Zhang Shihao couldn't wait to dial this number.

Li Jiacheng had already guessed it was a call from the kidnappers, and after picking it up, he asked indifferently: "How should I address you?"

"Even if I told you, you wouldn't know me, just call me Big Spender!" Zhang Shihao said with a laugh.

"Fine, Mr. Big Spender! You want to talk to me about my son, right?" Li Jiacheng said indifferently.

"That's right!" Zhang Shihao said with a laugh: "You really are worthy of being the richest man! Your brain is just better than ours!"

Li Jiacheng had no time to beat around the bush with him and said straight to the point: "You're not ordinary either, no need to flatter me! Just say it! How much money do you want? Let's just finish dealing with this matter quickly!"

"Alright!" Zhang Shihao said hurriedly: "I'll be at your house right away, is that convenient?"

"What?" Li Jiacheng was clearly stunned for a moment, but then he calmed down: "Fine! But I want to say a few words to my son first!"

Zhang Shihao laughed and said: "Since you are so straightforward, I can't be sluggish either!"

After finishing, he handed the mobile phone to the Second Young Master beside him.

Before the Second Young Master could say a few words, the phone was snatched away by Zhang Shihao: "Now you can confirm it, right!"

"Fine, I await your arrival!" After Li Jiacheng said this, he hung up the phone.

At this time, the president's office of Guojun Group.

Chen Jiajun did not go back but was busy with the things in his hands.

Guan Jiahui came to the office carrying a thermal bucket and said irritably: "I knew you were still at the company!"

Chen Jiajun casually pulled Guan Jiahui into his arms and said: "Why did you come?"

"Here, brought you your favorite pork rib soup!" Guan Jiahui placed the thermal bucket on the desk with a virtuous look and began serving Chen Jiajun the soup, but just at this moment, the office door was knocked.

Guan Jiahui stood up immediately, virtuously tidied up the bowls and chopsticks, and after telling Chen Jiajun to return home early, she went out.

After receiving permission, the person from the Information Department walked in; Chen Jiajun wiped his mouth and said to his subordinate, "What is so urgent?"

The subordinate hurriedly said, "Zhang Shihao and his men have already succeeded. I heard the news from the brothers monitoring them; this kid intends to go to the Li Family's villa to talk to Li Jiacheng in person!"

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "He certainly has guts!"

"This guy definitely has guts, and he's going there strapped with bombs!"

The Information Officer smiled and said, "Mr. Li is going to have a headache now."

Chen Jiajun smiled and asked, "What about outside? Is there any news?"

The Information Officer shook his head and said, "No news; I reckon Li Jiacheng has blocked the information. However, someone reported to the Police at the place where Zhang Shihao and his men abducted the second young master, so I reckon the Police will definitely get involved."

Chen Jiajun, however, shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. Given that Mr. Li's character, he certainly won't let the Police get involved. Even if they investigate something, he will act as if nothing happened! After all, this old fox is just too steady!"

……

Just as Chen Jiajun expected, the Police did indeed find some things.

And they paid a visit at the first opportunity.

But the Inspector from the Serious Crimes Unit in charge of this case didn't even get to see Li Jiacheng; the person who came out to see them was the Li Family's Butler.

"What is the matter, officers?" The Butler had a poker face, revealing nothing.

The Inspector stated his purpose directly: "We want to talk to Mr. Li; is it convenient?"

After hearing this, the Butler shook his head directly and said, "It is not convenient. The master has already gone to sleep. If there is anything, the Lawyer will be in contact with you Police tomorrow. Please excuse yourselves now!"

Hearing the Butler's impolite words, the group of Police immediately showed angry expressions.

They had come for the matter of the Li Family's second young master, but they had not expected this Butler to be so disrespectful.

Just as a few of the Police were about to lose their temper, the Inspector leading the team raised his hand to make them shut their mouths.

Then he said to the Butler, "Since Mr. Li has already gone to sleep, we won't disturb him further. If there are any issues, please contact us at any time!"

The Butler took the Inspector's business card, nodded, and said, "Understood, I will tell the master."

Seeing the Butler say this, the Inspector led the team away.

Little did they know, the person they wanted to find was currently in the living room of the Li Family.

After the Police left, the Butler returned to the living room and said to Zhang Shihao, who had already arrived, "Please wait a moment; the master will come to see you immediately!"

Zhang Shihao waved his hand and then began to size up the Li Family's mansion.

As a country bumpkin, he had never imagined that a place where people lived could be luxurious to such an extent.

Just a random ornament was likely something he could never afford in his entire life when he was a Thug.

Now? Heh, Zhang Shihao thought with a cold sneer, as long as he could release that young master Li, he reckoned that Boss Li would even give him this villa!

However, Zhang Shihao's ambition was not limited to just that; although he was a country bumpkin, he also knew the net worth of this Boss Li.

He could not be like those idiots who were sent away with a few million or tens of millions. (End of this chapter)
