Chapter 2386: Major Case

When Zhou Andong and the others left the restaurant, Lian Xiangzhi, sitting in a corner not far away, was still eating in a leisurely manner. Three people were sitting beside him; one of the young men was reading a newspaper when he suddenly widened his eyes: "F*ck!"

His shout of 'f*ck' attracted the gazes of the others, all of whom looked over, their eyes full of curiosity.

"What's wrong!" a thin, tall middle-aged man asked. "What news could make you so uncomposed, Mr. Ma?"

Ma Xianli, Chairman of the German Ma's Trading Import and Export Company, was born in Leqing, Zhejiang Province, in 1962. At the age of nine, he was already carrying a pole, walking the streets and alleys to buy vegetables.

In 1978, the Reform and Opening-up brought development and opportunities to Ma Xianli. At 17, he decided to walk out of the small path at the village entrance, out of his hometown, and toward a wider world to see the excitement outside. Thus, he became a member of the mighty 100,000-strong Wenzhou supply and marketing army.

After more than ten years of development, Ma Xianli's business map involved various small commodity fields such as hardware, clothing, and lighters. Then, Ma Xianli made another bold decision: to step out of the country and sell small commodities like hardware, clothing, and lighters abroad.

This idea was immediately opposed by his family and friends. "German manufacturing is exquisite; how can our products compete?" But Ma Xianli stubbornly insisted on his decision. In early 1992, he stepped into Europe and moved to Bremen, Germany.

At first, not many people trusted products made in China. For two months, he participated in over a dozen trade fairs in Germany and didn't make a single deal. He often couldn't sleep for days and nights on end, and both his energy and financial resources were severely overdrawn.

He was a person with a very resilient temperament; otherwise, he wouldn't have achieved what he had today. But in those two months in Germany, his spirit was greatly exhausted, and his inner persistence had a trace of wavering.

Just at this time, a Swiss company tentatively found him and ordered a batch of lighters. And this order, like a stabilizer, steadied his already wavering heart.

To satisfy the customer and make them believe in 'Made in China,' he strictly controlled the quality, and the cost of the first batch of goods was 30% higher than planned. But increasing the cost and strictly controlling quality allowed him to gain a firm foothold in the German manufacturing market, known for its excellence, and also established a new image for 'Made in China' in the international market.

Next, Ma Xianli carried various 'Made in China' products and walked through almost all major trade fairs in Europe. Facts proved that high-quality and inexpensive 'Made in China' products still had a market in Europe. In two years, he opened up a world for 'Made in China' on the land of Europe.

Now, Ma Xianli is a representative figure of overseas Chinese merchants, so he also received an invitation to the symposium. Of course, he also had the intention to develop new markets in the country. Thus, he accepted the organizer's invitation.

Ma Xianli held the newspaper: "Zhou Andong was almost kidnapped."

"What?" The first to react was Lian Xiangzhi. A flash of sharp light appeared in the eyes hidden behind his lenses: "Let me see."

Ma Xianli handed over the newspaper. Lian Xiangzhi snatched the newspaper and saw the bold, black headline: Jiangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau cracks a major criminal case!

According to the report interviewed by this newspaper's reporter, in May this year, Yin so-and-so, Gu so-and-so, Xia so-and-so, Chen so-and-so, Lu so-and-so, and others carried a large number of firearms and hand grenades and drifted to Jiangzhou, premeditating the kidnapping of Yugong Group Chairman Zhou Andong.

However, on the eve of the crime, they were caught for prostitution. Afterward, the Jiangzhou police searched the vehicles driven by their gang and found five pistols, two long guns, one micro-submachine gun, 600 rounds of various types of ammunition, eight hand grenades...

This report was not long, only about 500 or 600 words, but the information it contained was immensely huge, and its severity far exceeded imagination. One must know that with Zhou Andong's status and influence at this time, coupled with the Reform and Opening-up, the whole country was attracting investment.

Once Zhou Andong was kidnapped, the negative impact would be too great. If it were then utilized by some people with ulterior motives to smear and discredit, it would certainly affect investment attraction. Therefore, this case would absolutely attract the attention of the central authorities.

Lian Xiangzhi slowly put down the newspaper, cursing in his heart that these kidnappers were truly too stupid to be caught for prostitution before committing the crime. They should have kidnapped Zhou Andong first, and after getting the money, they should have torn up the ticket and killed that son of a b*tch.

At this time, Ma Xianli checked the time, stood up, and said: "The meeting is about to start; let's hurry over, or we'll be late."

…………………………

At this time, the Yin family members were all gathered in the old man's study, not one missing, each with a very ugly expression on their face. In fact, they had seen the news about Yin Mo kidnapping Zhou Andong yesterday afternoon.

It was just that they were completely in the dark and didn't know the specific situation, so naturally, they couldn't act rashly. Furthermore, even if Yin Mo couldn't be helped up, he wouldn't be stupid enough to run to Jiangzhou to kidnap Zhou Andong.

As for the firearms and hand grenades found in Yin Mo's car, no one in the Yin family doubted it. Because they all knew that Yin Mo liked those things and had his own weapons arsenal, in which he collected various models of firearms from around the world.

But what they didn't expect was that this bastard Yin Mo didn't have enough fun playing with those guns at home and actually put them in the car and brought them to Jiangzhou, thereby bringing himself huge trouble. Therefore, the whole family was furious, only the old thing Yin Zongquan had no expression on his face.

"D*mn it, it's very obvious that Yin Mo was set up by Zhou Andong." Yin family's third son, Yin Mingyu, had a livid face, but no one noticed the trace of excitement in the depths of his eyes.

"Second sister!" Yin Mingyu looked at Yin Meilan: "Didn't you say you were going to Jiangzhou? Why haven't you left yet?"

Yin Meilan said unhappily: "The child has started school, and Yin Mo has been inside for so long, three or five days won't make a difference, so I thought I'd go after the child started school. Who knew this kind of thing would suddenly happen."

Yin Mingyu said somewhat anxiously: "Second sister, we know nothing about Yin Mo's situation, so you must go today to avoid long nights and many dreams."

Yin Meilan agreed: "Okay!"

"Dad!" Yin family's second son, Yin Mingxing, looked at Yin Zongquan: "Say something. If we don't think of a way as soon as possible, Yin Mo is really going to be finished in Jiangzhou."

Yin Zongquan closed his eyes and leaned against the back of the chair, not knowing what he was thinking. Hearing Yin Mingxing's words, he didn't even open his eyes and said: "I am waiting for your eldest brother's call."

"Ding-ling..."

As soon as the old thing Yin Zongquan's words fell, the phone on the desk rang. The old thing's eyes finally opened. He reached out and grabbed the phone, and Yin Mingsheng's voice, suppressing anger, immediately came through the receiver.

"Dad, last night I asked the Provincial Department to set up a special case team to investigate, but I still overestimated my influence. The special case team was set up, and people went down to investigate Yin Mo's case, but I have no control over the special case team at all."

"The investigation results just fed back to me by the special case team are that Yin Mo and the others premeditated the kidnapping of Zhou Andong, the facts are clear, and the evidence is conclusive. Therefore, we can only ask the Ministry of Public Security to hang a sign for supervision and send a special case team down, otherwise Yin Mo is really in danger this time." ===== CHAPTER 2387 =====
