At eight o 'clock in the morning, the other party called.
Jung Eun-thi, who was sleeping restlessly, was woken up by the phone call. At the same time, the police officers who were waiting outside the house were also alerted. Then, Tang Jinyan and Cho Mingren, who were talking in the office, were also alerted.
A group of people surrounded Jung Eun-thi. The police officers were already prepared to track the other party's location through the phone call.
Jung Eun-thi took a deep breath and picked up the phone.
"Eun-thi, a stranger called and said that the Minji is in their hands …"
Hearing Yin Pumei's voice from the phone, even Tang Jinyan took a deep breath.
The other party was very meticulous … It was as if they knew that the phone call would be tracked and did not call Jung Eun-thi at all. Instead, they called their teammates.
Jung Eun-thi gritted her teeth and asked, "What did they say?"
Yin Pumei told her the location and said, "They want you to bring 5 billion won over at 12 o 'clock sharp … If you're late, they'll kill you … Also, you can only go alone. If you're found to have brought the police with you, they'll kill you immediately … What should we do, Eun-thi?"
Jung Eun-thi was on the verge of tears. "I should be the one asking what to do!
Where am I supposed to get 5 billion! "(Note: About 20 to 30 million RMB)
A police officer reported to Cho Mingren in a low voice, "We've checked. It's an abandoned factory in the suburbs. The surroundings are empty. If there's someone guarding the roof, they can see the police from afar.
The other party is indeed prepared. "
Cho Mingren nodded.
They even prepared the phone numbers of Jung Eun-thi's teammates and found a suitable location in advance. The price of 5 billion was also very particular and could not be considered a sky-high price.
For example, Xu Xian donated 100 million to Dongguk University. Jung Eun-thi was still a popular celebrity. Although the amount of money she earned was far less than when she was young, and she had accumulated it for a short period of time, she still had a few hundred million.
Adding on the savings at home and borrowing from friends and family, it was more or less enough. If she really couldn't do it, she could borrow money from the company or even loan sharks. It was still within the range of what she could afford, so she would not despair.
These signs looked more and more like a premeditated plan by the kidnappers to kidnap and blackmail the celebrities' families. Zhao Mingren even felt that the kidnappers were a little unlucky to have chosen Tang Jinyan's woman as their target. It obviously made things more difficult …
Tang Jinyan took the phone from Jung Eun-thi's hand and asked, "Jung Eun-thi, if she goes alone, how to guarantee her's's' safety?"
"No, I didn't say anything … just a few words, and then I hung up."
The atmosphere was silent.
The's plan was not that simple's's's.'s's's's's's's's was was's't's's's.'s's's's's's.'s's's's's's's a day's
However, if the police were to intervene, there was no way to predict whether the kidnappers would destroy themselves. No matter who the leader was, it would be difficult to guarantee the absolute safety of the hostages.
Therefore, most of the time, the family members would rather fork out money than let the police intervene. If the other party only wanted money, there were many cases where they let the person go after receiving the money. There were countless similar cases in various countries.
The other party had hostages in their hands. Even someone as strong as Li Jiacheng could only admit defeat. Tang Jinyan was the same.
The police could not force the rescue decision, and Tang Jinyan could not force the decision either. It had to be based on the wishes of the family members.
Zhao Mingren's gaze fell on Jung Eun-thi's face. He wondered what kind of decision this girl would make.
Jung Eun-thi remained silent for a long time. Then, she stared at the floor and muttered softly, "Lend me three billion … I'll … return it to you slowly."
Although she didn't say who she was borrowing from, everyone present knew who she was referring to.
At the same time, her words made it clear that she wanted to go by herself and did not want the police to get involved.
"Not to mention three billion, even five billion is pocket money."
Tang Jinyan said indifferently, "I just want to know, what if a woman like you gets raped?"
Jung Eun-thi seemed to have thought about it. She replied calmly, "If that's all they're after, then at least Minji will be safe."
Tang Jinyan's tone was still indifferent. "What if I don't want you to get raped?"
Jung Eun-thi looked up at him. Tang Jinyan's face was expressionless.
She bit her lower lip and said softly, "Let me go … Minji is so cute. He can't be hurt."
Tang Jinyan said indifferently, "The problem is that you can't guarantee that your brother won't be hurt. It's the stupidest thing to do to put the safety of yourself and your family in the hands of the other party."
Jung Eun-thi finally couldn't help but shout, "Yes!
I'm not like Master Tang Jiu, who can control his own fate and that of others! "
Tang Jinyan remained calm. "What if I go with you?
I'm not a police officer. "
Jung Eun-thi was stunned.
This time, Zhao Mingren couldn't help but say, "Tang Jiu, you can't go.
What's the saying again … the daughter of a rich family … "
"The son of a rich family doesn't sit under the awning."
Tang Jinyan said indifferently, "I'm past the point where I have to fight on my own. My safety now concerns the fate of tens of thousands of people, right?"
Zhao Mingren sighed. "Since you know …"
"I know."
"If you want someone to go with you, why don't you get a special police officer to pretend to be your boyfriend …"
Tang Jinyan interrupted, "Or the police will be fully involved. If you insist on having someone accompany you …" He paused and shook his head with a smile. "Of course, I'll go."
"Why?"
"This woman is my first love. Although she's very annoying, she may face the risk of being raped … If I'm worried about my own safety and hide behind her and let someone else accompany her … how can I respect this cowardly Tang Jiu in this lifetime?
What will the other brothers think of this cowardly Tang Jiu?
You must know that we're all heroes in the underworld. Do you think that having money will make you lose the guts of a man? "
Tang Jinyan patted Zhao Mingren on the shoulder. "Let's not talk about them. Even Brother Zhao and your subordinates, what will you think of this Tang Jiu?"
Zhao Mingren was silent.
Jung Eun-thi stared blankly at him and didn't say anything for a long time.
"Brother Zhao, don't forget that I, Tang Jiu, am very good at fighting. I'm not an office worker, okay?
There are so many well-dressed people nowadays that they've all forgotten about my attributes? "
Zhao Mingren's lips twitched. He had really forgotten about Tang Jinyan's attributes.
Seriously speaking, he had never seen anyone who could fight better than Tang Jinyan. Not even the special police officers … But to be honest, no one would associate Tang Jinyan with fighting these days. It was too strange …
"All right, all right."
Tang Jinyan clapped his hands. "Men are men. We won't do things that are bold but not astute. If the plan is done well, there may not be any danger. Don't make it sound like I'm going to die. I still have to be responsible for tens of thousands of brothers.
First, give me a set of bulletproof vests, pistols, and daggers. Also, contact Kim Zhexiu and ask his wide-area investigation team to move out and surround the place at a suitable distance. If there are any changes inside, they can react in time.
I'll leave the specific plan to you guys. If you need more manpower, I'll ask Lee Eun-suk to coordinate with the operation.
That's all. First, give me a lounge to catch up on a few hours of sleep. "
The group of police officers stared blankly as Tang Jinyan left. They didn't know what to feel.
To be honest, the police officers were very unhappy to be ordered around by a gangster. But they had to admit that this guy was a real man.
They asked themselves, if they were like Tang Jinyan, with a net worth of billions of US dollars and a position at the top of Korea's Forbes list, how would they be willing to personally take risks?
But this guy could …
They didn't know if this was called a man or a fool.
Tang Jinyan entered another lounge, but Jung Eun-thi followed him in.
He stopped by the door, tilted his head and looked at her for a while. Then, he smiled and said, "It's fine if you're here to sacrifice yourself. Right now, it's more important for you to rest."
Jung Eun-thi said seriously, "You really shouldn't go. Your life doesn't belong to you alone now."
Tang Jinyan was speechless. "Let's be frank. Even if I don't love you as much as before, you, Jung Eun-thi, are still my first love.
As a man, it's fine if I don't know about this. But now that I know, I can't just stand by and do nothing.
Maybe a lot of people will say that I'm a fool, but I can only do it. Otherwise, it will become a demon in my heart. Every time I think about this, I won't be able to sleep in the future. "
Jung Eun-thi looked at him quietly for a long time. Finally, she said softly, "If you die … I'll accompany you."
Tang Jinyan laughed involuntarily. "You're not suitable for this kind of gentle person.
Jung Eun-thi … "
"Yeah."
"When I chopped up the sky, you were still wearing diapers. Do you really think that I'm a good-for-nothing like those sissy idols?
I repeat, I'm very confident. Don't die like a fool. I haven't lived long enough! "
At this point, Tang Jinyan suddenly paused for a few seconds. Then, he said again, "If you can't get over it, why don't we change our agreement?"
"Okay, go ahead."
"If we both come out safely, you'll be my little fifteen. Don't think about biting off my head with that big mouth of yours. Come bite my little head instead."
Zheng Endi stared at him with his eyes wide open for a long time before he suddenly laughed out loud. He only said one word, "Okay."
Tang Jinyan stared at her smiling eyes for a while. Then, he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "So ugly."
