Chapter 975: Eating People Without Spitting Out Bones

You Wenchang was completely dumbfounded, and his few brothers were stunned, then became excited.

They didn't expect their big brother to pull a move like this. Good, they were going to get rich this time.

"Big brother!" A guy took out a knife and pressed the tip against Zhou Andong's neck, "This guy has plenty of money. One job, 50,000 is too little, it has to be at least 500,000."

You Wenchang's head buzzed. The only thought he had was that if he still had a chance, he must find some subordinates with an education.

Even if they only had an elementary school education, they wouldn't be stupid to this degree. Was their brain full of shit? How demented did he have to be to kidnap Zhou Andong in the hotel lobby?

Looking at the security guards and police who quickly surrounded them, You Wenchang was filled with despair.

He never dreamed that Zhou Andong, such a big celebrity, would not only not keep his word but also be so insidious.

He didn't know even more that because of the Entrepreneurs' Forum, the security of the Garden Hotel had been done to the extreme.

So as soon as Zhou Andong shouted that he had been kidnapped, twenty or thirty security guards and plainclothes police appeared.

A police officer held a gun, pointed it at the guy holding the knife, and shouted sternly: "Put down the knife!"

The guy holding the knife was also stunned. He understood the security guards, but why were there so many police? Was this poking a police nest?

You Wenchang was completely desperate. He felt as if these police were cooperating with Zhou Andong to pit him.

"Bang!"

You Wenchang kicked the guy holding the knife away, then raised his hands high, full of fawning smiles.

"Mis... misunderstanding, this is..."

They didn't give him a chance to speak at all. A police officer came over, grabbed his collar, and swept his leg.

With a thud, You Wenchang was knocked down cleanly, then his hands were twisted behind his back by two other police officers, and he was handcuffed.

The other four were also handcuffed and taken away without even asking questions.

Zhang Shenghui looked at You Wenchang and the others being taken away, sighing: "You say this guy, who is bad to find trouble with, but he had to find Zhou Andong, who eats people without spitting out bones. Isn't this like a birthday star hanging themselves—tired of living?"

Wu Hongkang also nodded, his face serious: "Indeed, it's just that they ran into Zhou Andong. This is all fate."

Jian Qiu was listening on the side, her mouth twitching.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a police uniform walked up to Zhou Andong and saluted.

"Chairman Zhou, it was our negligence that let you be frightened. I'm really sorry."

Zhou Andong smiled slightly and shook hands with the middle-aged man: "This was just an accident, no one could have prevented it."

"Thank you for understanding."

The middle-aged man was sweating on his head. This conference had over 70 people from both sides of the strait, and they had all arrived.

Zhou Andong being kidnapped was really too egregious. Once it spread, it would be a heavy blow to Yangcheng, and even to the investment attraction of the entire Guangdong province.

At this time, Zhou Andong could be considered a leader in business in the country. If someone like him could be kidnapped, who the fuck would dare to come here to invest?

Zhou Andong could understand. The middle-aged man was sincerely grateful and immediately issued an order that this matter must be kept confidential, and only then did he learn about the case from Zhou Andong.

Zhou Andong pulled Zhou Anlei, who was hiding behind him: "This is my cousin. Over a year ago, the family gave him some money, and he came to Yangcheng to make his way.

During that time, there was no news, and the family didn't think too much about it. After all, he was such a big person, what was there to worry about? And the distance was so far, over 2,000 kilometers, so even if they were worried, there was nothing they could do.

It was just that I didn't expect that when I went out for a stroll just now, I ran into my cousin begging for money at the entrance of a mall. Just as I was about to ask him what was going on, those kidnappers appeared.

They said my cousin owed them 50,000 yuan, and since I was his younger brother, I should pay it back, and then they controlled me. At the time, I thought about settling the matter to avoid trouble and spending 50,000 yuan to buy peace.

But as soon as I entered the hotel, they increased the price to 500,000, and even threatened me with a knife, saying if I didn't pay, they would kill me. They were so untrustworthy that even if I gave them 500,000, I estimate they wouldn't easily let me go, so I shouted to call the police."

The middle-aged man nodded and looked at the shrinking Zhou Anlei. If Zhou Andong hadn't said it himself that this person was his cousin, looking at his shrinking, evasive eyes, he would definitely have thought this guy was a fugitive.

Zhou Andong kicked Zhou Anlei in the butt: "Tell me, how did you owe so much money, and what's with your leg?"

Zhou Anlei was shrinking, which made Zhou Andong want to give him another kick.

"Stuttering, you were like this when you were a child. You're over twenty years old, how are you still like this? No wonder you were beaten into this state."

Zhou Anlei lowered his head, mainly because he felt guilty: "After I arrived in Yangcheng, I found a small hotel to stay in. At first, I didn't know what to do, so I just wandered around every day. When eating, I went to the steamed bun shop next to the hotel.

After a long time, I got familiar with the shop owner. One night, he said he would take me to a fun place, and I didn't pay attention. Only after I got there did I know it was a casino..."

Zhou Andong understood. This was being set up by someone.

Zhou Anlei liked playing cards at home. Although the wins and losses weren't big—three or five yuan a day—he couldn't stand the addiction.

Not to mention being alone outside, with so much money in his hands, and no one to manage him, how could he not gamble after entering a casino?

"At first I didn't play big, but I won money every day. Later, I became bolder and gambled bigger and bigger, winning over 10,000. Later, I started losing and lost all the money.

I wasn't reconciled, so I borrowed money in the casino and lost another 20,000. They stopped lending me money and forced me to beg for money to pay off the debt. One day I begged for over 20 yuan, thinking of using this money as travel expenses to go to another city.

I had already run to the bus station when I was caught by them. After being dragged back, they broke my leg and said if I dared to run again, they would break my other leg."

Honey traps, casinos, serious injury, kidnapping, extortion—a series of terms appeared in the middle-aged man's mind. This must be a gang.

"Chairman Zhou, we will definitely solve the case as soon as possible and give you an explanation."

Zhou Andong shook hands with the middle-aged man again: "Sorry to trouble you."

The middle-aged man left and immediately reported to the bureau. Vice Mayor and Director of the Municipal Bureau Chen Daixue was very furious when he heard the report.

Kidnapping Zhou Andong—this was outrageous, especially at this juncture. This was smearing Yangcheng and wanting to destroy Yangcheng.

He immediately held a meeting to organize a special task force to interrogate You Wenchang, demanding severe punishment and a crackdown, handling it at the maximum level.

Wu Hongkang and Zhang Shenghui, who had been watching the excitement, saw that the matter was over and walked over.

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

Zhang Shenghui circled Zhou Andong two or three times, saying with a tsking sound: "Chairman Zhou is Chairman Zhou, he really eats people without spitting out bones. I have to stay away from you in the future, lest I be pitted by you and die without knowing how I died."

Wu Hongkang also nodded, his face serious: "Indeed, I think it's better for us to keep some distance, that way I have a sense of security." ===== CHAPTER 976 =====
