Chapter 287: Li Er is kidnapped, Li Da: My brother is so miserable, boo hoo ha ha ha

Zhang Zhang Ziqiang commanded with composure, full of confidence:

"As for where to send him after the kidnapping, places like Mount Pottinger or Tai Long Wan are all fine."

"Furthermore, some places must be avoided, such as Causeway Bay, Central and Western District, and North Point."

On one hand, Zhang Zhang Ziqiang was indeed a bit wary of Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu, fearing the Five Star Group's ability to mobilize the masses.

On the other hand, Five Star Properties had already warned him not to cause trouble on Five Star territory, so naturally, he could not offend them.

A full 20 minutes later,

all actions were clearly explained.

Zhang Zhang Ziqiang looked around at everyone,

"Brothers!"

"You are all brothers from the same small town who came out together!"

"I have said, we set foot on Hong Kong Island with only one goal—to make a fortune!"

"This Mr. Li has a net worth of tens of billions; his wealth couldn't even fit inside a skyscraper."

"All we have to do is take a little from his hands!"

"As long as everyone follows my orders, nothing will go wrong!"

"In the future, we can live in villas on Hong Kong Island, with fine wine and beautiful women... whatever we want, we shall have!"

As Zhang Zhang Ziqiang's words fell, the surrounding brothers cheered one after another.

"Get rich! Get rich!"

North Point,

"Achoo~~~"

Li Er sneezed.

Rumble~~~~~

Tonight, there was lightning and thunder, and a torrential downpour fell incessantly...

The rain was heavy,

there were few cars,

and a black Mercedes was driving on the dark road.

Li Er, along with two bodyguards and a driver, was in the car.

"You are so poisonous, you are so poisonous, you are so poisonous, woo woo woo~~~~"

The car radio was playing a currently popular song, which was said to be sung by Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's subordinate, Wu Ying.

Li Er thought: Damn, how does this Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu have so many talented subordinates?

He leaned back against the soft leather seat in the back of the car, in a good mood; today his father had entrusted him with a task to go to TVB for an interview, and TVB had already arranged it.

What did this signify?

It signified that his father was relying on him more and more.

Family business inheritance progress +1!

However...

Li Er's good mood did not last long.

Just as he was driving on the mountain road,

Bang bang bang~~~~~

Suddenly, a car cut across from the side, blocking the way.

The driver was so scared he braked immediately.

Just as he stopped, the driver realized something was wrong; someone was looking for trouble, so he hurriedly restarted the engine, preparing to accelerate...

A group of people got out of the cars in front and behind, holding pistols and AK47s, aiming at the car; one of them had a body full of bombs.

The driver and the two bodyguards' expressions changed.

"Not good!"

"Young Master, this might be a kidnapping!"

Zhang Zhang Ziqiang knocked on Li Er's car window.

"Kidnapping!"

"Li Er, get out of the car!"

"And you three, put your hands on your heads."

The bodyguards and the driver looked at the guns and bombs,

I'm only making tens of thousands a month, I don't need to risk my life!

"Don't be impulsive!"

"We surrender!"

"Spare our lives, hero!"

They immediately held their heads!

"You guys..."

Li Er was so angry his face turned green,

no, you guys surrendered too quickly, right?

At least struggle a little!

"Get out here!"

Zhang Zhang Ziqiang's subordinate grabbed Li Er by the collar and dragged him out of the car.

Zhang Zhang Ziqiang raised his gun to threaten the bodyguards and the driver: "I only want money, not lives. I'll tie you up later; if you move too much, I'll kill you, understand?"

"Understand!" x3

Soon, the bodyguards and the driver were tied up and thrown into a van.

Zhang Zhang Ziqiang put a hood on Li Er.

"Don't worry, Young Master Li, we only rob for money, we don't kill!"

Li Er finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Money, he and his father had plenty of it.

Zhang Zhang Ziqiang and the others drove off in the three cars.

Not long after, they dumped Li Er's Mercedes in the wilderness.

An hour later, Li Er and the bodyguards were transferred to a remote house and brought inside.

When Zhang Zhang Ziqiang was carrying Li Er out of the car, he couldn't help but kiss Li Er.

"Young Master Li Er, you are my golden pot now!"

After entering the house, Zhang Zhang Ziqiang asked Li Er with concern,

"Are you hungry?"

"My brother will buy abalone rice later, we won't let you go hungry!"

He stripped Li Er of his clothes, leaving his upper body bare, then took off his underwear and had a brother send it to Mr. Li.

As for Li Er, he was locked in a dog cage.

Because the dog cage was too low, Li Er was forced to squat down.

Zhang Zhang Ziqiang handed the phone to Li Er: "Call your old man, tell him you are safe, don't call the police, and then I will visit him tonight. You only have 10 seconds to finish saying this."

Li Er nodded and quickly called Mr. Li.

"I've been kidnapped, don't worry, don't call the police..."

Before he could finish, Zhang Zhang Ziqiang snatched the phone and hung up in a hurry.

Mr. Li's villa.

The phone slipped, Mr. Li only felt his vision go dark, and he collapsed to the floor clutching his heart.

"Master! Master!"

The maid rushed over, calling for people while checking on Mr. Li's condition.

Soon the family doctor arrived, stuffed a quick-acting heart pill into Mr. Li's mouth, and it took a long time for Mr. Li to recover.

"Quick, call A-Ju over!"

"His younger brother has been kidnapped... don't call the police."

Mr. Li said with difficulty.

Why has it been so unlucky lately!

Cheung Kong Group.

In Li Da's office.

"Ugh~~~"

In the office restroom, Li Da began to vomit.

After he came out of the restroom, his expression was gloomy.

Originally, he should have been sunny and confident, but recent events had dealt him a blow, causing his temperament to become sinister.

And today, a matter involving his father made his mood even more volatile.

To mitigate the negative impact of his involvement in an organ trafficking syndicate, his father had called to have TVB interview his younger brother about his charitable acts, hoping to gain the public's favor.

The position of Crown Prince was in jeopardy!

He couldn't help but think of Li Li Jiancheng and Li Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty; in the end, Li Li Shimin killed Li Li Jiancheng to ascend the throne as Emperor.

"Ring, ring, ring~~~"

Just then, Li Da's secretary called.

"Young Master! Good news... no, there is some bad news!"

"???"

Li Da became agitated!

Can you damn well think before you speak?

Can't you even tell the difference between good news and bad news?!

The secretary said excitedly, "Young Master, the Chairman just called to say that the Second Young Master has been kidnapped!"

"What?"

Li Da was suddenly pleasantly surprised.

This really was good news... I mean, bad news!

Sorry, I misunderstood you just now.

The secretary looked 'worried': "The details aren't clear. The Second Young Master's car was pushed off a cliff, his bodyguards were tied up and thrown into a ditch, and the Second Young Master was abducted; his whereabouts are currently unknown."

"He is also... too miserable..."

Li Da was shocked and furious... woooo~~~ pfft~~ hahaha~~~

In the end, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

To hell with facial expression management.

I just feel great!

The original sinister look dissipated instantly, and he began to look bright and sunny.

Smiles don't disappear, they only transfer. jpg

The secretary: "The Chairman said he couldn't get through to you on several calls, so he asked me to come find you... you should hurry over there."

Li Da quickly composed his expression: "I'll go over right now."

He took a few deep breaths.

"Can't laugh, can't laugh..."

Woo, it's so hard to control my expression...

Ten minutes later, he left Cheung Kong Holdings with his bodyguards and returned to Deep Water Bay.

As soon as he entered the villa,

"Dad!"

Mr. Li glanced at his eldest son: "What's wrong with your face?" Li Da: "............"

He couldn't very well say his face had gone numb from laughing too much, could he?

Mr. Li: "??"

Why does this scene feel a bit familiar?

Before he could think it over, a maid ran in looking flustered.

"Sir, someone delivered a pair of underpants, saying they belong to the Second Young Master."

Then, the red underpants were placed on the table.

Mr. Li examined the red underpants carefully. (From "King of Robbers")

"Does anyone know if these underpants are the Second Young Master's?"

The maids, the secretary, and Li Da all shook their heads one after another.

Was this something they were supposed to know?

Mr. Li also knew he had asked a stupid question, but his son wasn't even married; who would know what kind of underpants he wore!

However,

!.

He could roughly conclude: his second son had truly been kidnapped.

The next question was whether or not to cooperate with the police.

In the end, Mr. Li decided not to cooperate.

Money and such didn't matter; his son's life was the most important thing.

Actually, Li Da really wanted to ask "should we call the police," but he didn't dare ask.

At this time,

On Zhang Zhang Ziqiang's side,

He was wearing Li Er's suit and tie; hey, it actually fit quite well.

"Brother Qiang, what should we do next?"

"Yeah."

"How do we get the money?"

Everyone's eyes shone with greed.

Zhang Zhang Ziqiang: "I will go to the Li residence alone to demand the money."

"Ah?"

All the brothers were stunned.

"Wouldn't that be too dangerous?"

"Yeah, Brother Qiang!"

However, Zhang Zhang Ziqiang was very confident and smiled: "There won't be any danger. I'm only asking for one or two billion; to them, it's just a drop in the bucket."

The underlings looked at Zhang Zhang Ziqiang with admiration.

As expected of Brother Qiang!

One hour later,

Zhang Zhang Ziqiang drove to Mr. Li's Deep Water Bay villa.

He rang the doorbell.

The door opened.

Then he swaggered into Mr. Li's hillside mansion located in Deep Water Bay.

"Mr. Li!"

"Hello!"

He caught a glimpse of Mr. Li, wearing black-rimmed glasses, smiling and waiting for him.

"Mr. Li, I have already discovered that you have police hidden in your house. Let them come out."

"Haha, this gentleman, rest assured. I have been in business my whole life; I don't have any special experience, but I understand one thing: in life and in business, one must keep their word."

Then Mr. Li took Zhang Zhang Ziqiang on a tour of the house, opening every locked door for "Zhang Zhang Ziqiang" to see. Zhang Zhang Ziqiang was very satisfied, and both parties sat down in the living room.

After some small talk, they got to the point. Zhang Zhang Ziqiang wanted to "borrow" 3 billion from Mr. Li, 2 billion of which should be in old, non-sequential bills, and the remaining 1 billion deposited into a Swiss bank account.

Mr. Li had the urge to vomit blood on the spot.

I finally managed to scrape together 5 billion to deal with the acquisition of Cheung Kong Holdings, and you come for this?

Are you specifically trying to go against me?

Mr. Li regretted announcing the 5-billion-dollar stock buyback for Cheung Kong Holdings so high-profilely on television.

"Fine! I agree to your terms!"

Although losing 3 billion meant losing a lot of money to Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu and his two companions.

But for his son, what did that matter?

Just as Zhang Zhang Ziqiang was about to leave,

Suddenly,

Outside the villa, the police arrived.

Zhang Zhang Ziqiang glanced at Mr. Li and opened his suit jacket, revealing the bomb inside.

Mr. Li was startled and quickly tried to appease him: "It's a misunderstanding! I didn't call the police!"

At the door, the maid opened it: "Who are you?"

The police produced their identification: "Hello, we are from the Hong Kong Police Force. We would like to visit Mr. Li regarding a case."

Soon, Mr. Li walked out the door.

Mr. Li: "I wonder what business you two have?"

The police got straight to the point: "May I ask, Mr. Li, the Second Young Master's car was found at Big Wave Bay, but he is missing. Has he encountered any problems?"

Proprietor Li smiled and explained: "His car was in a minor accident and the driver was injured, but he himself was not in the car."

He found an excuse and sent the police away.

Not long after, Zhang Zhang Ziqiang drove away in a car from the Li family garage.

And at this moment,

Because Zhang Zhang Ziqiang acted with a low profile and Proprietor Li kept things well-hidden, no one knew that Li Er had been kidnapped.

……

A new day.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu went downstairs to buy a newspaper.

"Ta Kung Pao":

"On June 16, the Qingxi area of Qingpu County entered a state of emergency for flood control, and the Qingdong area entered a state of flood control alert..."

"On June 17, the average water level of the Taihu Yangcheng Yangcheng Yangcheng Lake basin reached 4.03 meters and continued to rise at a rate of over 10 centimeters per day..."

"On June 18, flood discharge was initiated..."

Clearly,

the flood had already begun.

And at this moment,

on the other side, at the HSBC headquarters in Central, Zhang Zhang Ziqiang drove the car prepared by the Li family and spent three hours taking away 1 billion in cash in two trips.

Before leaving, Zhang Zhang Ziqiang shook hands with Proprietor Li to say goodbye: "Will you hold a grudge against me for doing this?"

Proprietor Li shook his head.

Zhang Zhang Ziqiang smiled: "I have noted the Li family's integrity; I guarantee that my people will never harass the Li family again from now on."

Starting the car, Zhang Zhang Ziqiang poked his head out of the window: "Young Master Li will return home tonight."

Proprietor Li breathed a sigh of relief.

3 billion was a lot, but his son was saved.

Proprietor Li: "By the way, where is Ah Ju?"

Secretary: "Reporting to Proprietor, the eldest young master went to the Tin Hau Temple, saying he wanted to pray for Li Er."

Proprietor Li: "??"

Why did he go to burn incense and pray too?

Smile transfer·jpg

……

Tin Hau Temple.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu brought Sister Ruan Mei here to burn incense.

Compared to a few days ago, the number of people burning incense had decreased again, making Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu have to lament that public morals were declining.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu held three sticks of incense and bowed three times.

"Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Mazu, you should forgive me for not saving someone in danger this time, right?"

"You didn't speak, so that must mean you forgive me."

Sister Ruan Mei, who was beside him: "…………"

Does Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Mazu not speak? She can't speak... uh, this seems a bit disrespectful to Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Mazu, my sin, my sin.

She hurriedly burned incense and bowed three times.

At this time,

Li Da walked in with his secretary.

"Hmm?"

"Eh?"

Li Da and Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu looked at each other.

"Mr. Li, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

Li Da glanced at Following Xiao Fu standing to the side and smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Fu."

Following Xiao Fu nodded.

Then Li Da began to solemnly light three sticks of incense and respectfully worshiped Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Mazu.

"Bless me to find a kidney donor who can donate voluntarily..."

"Please bless my younger brother..."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu looked at the pious Li Da and thought with a wicked sense of humor: "Will this guy pray that his brother gets kidnapped and doesn't come back?"

……

When Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu returned to the Five Star Group, his subordinate Ah Wah reported a piece of news that caught Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's attention.

"News just came from Chen sir's side that the police found Li Er's Mercedes at Big Wave Bay..."

"Li Er, his bodyguard, and the driver are all gone."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu was overjoyed.

He had finally waited for the news.

Very good, Zhang Zhang Ziqiang acted very quickly!

After seeing Proprietor Li say yesterday that he would spend 5 billion to save the market, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu couldn't help but lament that this Proprietor Li was truly thick-skinned.

Once the market rescue succeeded, the short-selling by the three of them would fail, and they might even lose some money.

To deal with this situation, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu immediately thought of Zhang Zhang Ziqiang's kidnapping.

So he had Ah Wah send people to scout for information.

And now, the news had finally arrived.

Li Er was really kidnapped!

"Immediately send people to watch Proprietor Li's villa; as soon as Li Er appears, tell me."

As long as Li Er returned home safely, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu could arrange for a 'mysterious person' to go to ATV and major newspapers to spread the word: The Li family is cursed, suffering one misfortune after another, Li Er was kidnapped for ransom, and the Li family has no money left to save the market!

Once this news came out,

Cheung Kong Group would definitely plummet!

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu could tearfully make money from Proprietor Li!
