The Divine Eye for Appreciating Treasures: Starting from Escape from Northern Myanmar
Chapter 1024 Negotiating the Ransom
Watching the video of his granddaughter being tortured beyond recognition, the old man's original shock and anger were gradually replaced by calmness.
He is well aware that in this treacherous industry, protecting family information is crucial.
Over the years, he has always been cautious and all his identities were carefully forged in order to avoid being discovered by his opponents and threatening his family.
However, this time, his granddaughter was unfortunately kidnapped.
In the video, her eyes were red and swollen, her clothes were disheveled, and she had obviously suffered inhuman torture.
The old man felt heartbroken, but he understood that he had to remain calm at this moment in order to find a solution to the problem.
He began to recall who his enemies were.
In this world full of intrigue, he has offended many people.
Some people did it because of business competition, while others did it because of personal grudges. But who would kill his granddaughter?
Names and faces flashed through the old man's mind.
He tried to find possible clues from them, but found that his understanding of these people was too limited.
The old man slowly calmed down. Soon, those guys would make demands. They had gone to so much trouble to kidnap him, so they must want something.
At the same time, the old man began to think about countermeasures.
He knew that this opponent was no ordinary one.
Since they dared to attack his granddaughter, they must have been fully prepared.
The old man took a deep breath. Only when this happened to him did he feel the pain.
Sure enough, just as the old man expected, not long after, a phone call from overseas broke the silence of the office.
On the other end of the phone, a low and cold voice slowly sounded, making a demand that made the old man almost unable to breathe - a ransom of 100 million.
The kidnappers' tone was full of threats and cruelty. They warned the old man that if he did not immediately agree to this request, they would not hesitate to continue to inflict more cruel torture on his granddaughter.
What made the old man even more terrified was that the kidnappers gave him an extremely tight time limit - he had to collect the ransom within half an hour, otherwise, they would stage a so-called "train" drama, causing the innocent granddaughter to suffer unimaginable pain.
When the old man heard this, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. The anger and fear in his heart intertwined together, forming an indescribable emotion.
One hundred million? This is simply a sky-high ransom! He knew that although his medical institution made money, it was far from being able to easily come up with one hundred million.
This amount of money is undoubtedly a huge burden for him and may even bankrupt him.
However, faced with the threats from the kidnappers and the safety of his granddaughter, the old man knew he had no choice.
He had to do everything he could to raise the huge ransom in just half an hour.
He began to anxiously think about possible ways to raise funds, while also thinking about how to deal with the kidnappers and ensure the safety of his granddaughter.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the old man's heart was in constant torment.
The old man suddenly thought of someone, one hundred million, maybe he has it.
The old man held the phone tightly with a serious expression. He knew that time was running out and he had to act as soon as possible.
One hundred million? This number was simply an astronomical figure for him. He knew his financial situation well. Although he had saved a little over the years, it was far from this amount.
The old man drove away from the medical center and headed for a place where he could get 100 million yuan.
Finally, the old man came to the small house.
This is his and Sun Dongliang’s secret base, and usually only the two of them know about it.
He pushed open the car door and walked in quickly. He saw Sun Dongliang sitting on an old sofa in the house, holding a bottle of anti-inflammatory medicine in his hand and taking it slowly.
"Old Sun, I don't know how my granddaughter was kidnapped." There was a hint of trembling and anxiety in the old man's voice. He stared straight at Sun Dongliang, trying to see something from his expression.
When Sun Dongliang heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
He pretended to be calm and replied: "Brother, what are you talking about? I am in this condition now, how can I do that? Besides, I don't even know your name."
Although Sun Dongliang appeared very calm on the surface, he was actually very happy inside.
He understood the old man's situation and knew that this was a good opportunity to blackmail him.
But he also knew that he couldn't be too obvious, otherwise the old man would become suspicious.
Kidnapping? I did it myself! Li Wenhao was really quick.
Sun Dongliang continued to pretend to be innocent and even showed sympathy and concern for the old man.
He deliberately slowed down his speech to make his voice sound more sincere: "Brother, don't worry, let's think of a solution together. See if we can find any clues or contact the police."
However, there was cunning and calculation hidden in his words.
Sun Dongliang was already thinking about how to use this opportunity to extort a huge sum of money.
Patrol? Which patrol? This bunch of rubbish? Patrol from Xia? What can you do if you are kidnapped overseas? Do you really think you have watched too many Wolf Warriors and will punish them even if they are far away? It's useless.
The old man listened to Sun Dongliang's words and looked over again.
"Old Sun, I really don't have that much money right now. Can you lend me some first? I will return it to you when I raise the money." There was a hint of pleading and expectation in the old man's tone.
Sun Dongliang was secretly proud when he heard this.
He knew his chance had come, but he did not agree directly. Instead, he pretended to be hesitant: "Brother, it's not that I don't want to help you, but you also know my current situation... How about this, I will try my best to help you get some money, but I may not be able to get 100 million."
Sun Dongliang’s words made the old man feel nervous, but he also knew that this was his only hope.
He nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you, Old Sun. As long as you can help me get some money, I will have a way."
"how much do you have??"
Sun Dongliang asked calmly.
How many?
The old man thought about it and decided that he would definitely not give it all out, so he wanted to get some free money from Sun Dongliang.
"I've only made five million in these years, which isn't much money."
The old man looked embarrassed.
Five million? To send away beggars?
Five million and you still want to rescue your granddaughter?
If it were an ordinary person, he wouldn't even need one million, but this is an old man, the leader of a group that cuts the waist, and he only needs five million? Who is he looking down on?
"Then I don't have that much either. Your five million is a little too little, to be honest."
Sun Dongliang laughed. Five million? What is this old fox thinking?
