Reborn to inherit a 100 billion fortune, the real daughter is crazy

While driving to Gu's house, Captain Zhang did some background checks and learned about the basic situation of the Gu family. All the information he got was almost the same as what Mo Li said.

The Gu family once managed the Gu Group, which had a market value of over 10 billion yuan. Even though they have now withdrawn from the management of the Gu Group for some reason, the Gu family's superior economic conditions are probably still something that ordinary people would never be able to achieve in their lifetime.

Apart from anything else, a three-bedroom apartment in a slightly better location in Beijing would cost nearly 10 million yuan, and the Gu family actually owns such a large luxury villa in Beijing, where every inch of land is valuable. Presumably, the Gu family would not be reluctant to spend 20 million yuan to save two lives.

Normally, when a family receives a kidnapping or ransom call, it is normal for them to call the police or settle the matter privately. Mrs. Gu chose to call the police immediately to prevent the bad guys from getting what they wanted. She hoped that the police could bring the bad guys to justice and reduce the losses of her family. There seemed to be no problem at all.

But after taking Mo Li's statement at school, Captain Zhang obviously had his own conclusions in mind.

This inference was further confirmed after seeing Mrs. Gu's pretentious look.

Calling the police would most likely make the kidnappers angry and even kill the hostages. However, the door of the Gu family villa was left open, allowing a large group of police officers to come in and out, as if they were afraid that others would not know that the Gu family had called the police.

——It seems that Mrs. Gu really doesn’t want to see those two women return safely.

Captain Zhang hesitated for a moment and asked the Gu family in a cold voice, "Have you ever thought about paying the ransom privately and redeeming the person first?"

Gu Kai, who was originally at a loss and was desperately thinking about how to quickly rescue Gu Xuesui and her daughter, immediately perked up when he heard this. He answered hurriedly: "Of course I have thought about it! Didn't the other party already say that as long as we pay money, we can--"

Before he could finish his words, Mrs. Gu glared back at him.

Gu Kai swallowed and remained silent.

Mrs. Gu took over the conversation: "——But we always think that when we have trouble, we should go to the police first! We call the police because we fully trust you, the public servants!"

Mrs. Gu not only blocked Gu Kai's words, but also started to complain to the police in the room:

"Besides, the economic situation outside is not very good now, and our family situation is not much better. Although we live in such a big villa, the cost of living is actually very high! Food, clothing, and daily necessities for the whole family, the wages of the servants, the monthly property management water and electricity bills, and the maintenance fees for the flowers and plants in the yard. We also have to hire people to do a general cleaning several times a month... Which of these things doesn't cost money? Twenty million... Are you really taking us for granted? I just want to save them, but my strength doesn't allow it..."

Mrs. Gu started counting on her fingers how many places in the house needed money. She was just short of having the words "No money, hurry up and kill the hostages" written clearly on her face.

……

Gu Kai on the side clenched his fists tightly, and was so angry that he dared not say anything.

He owed Mrs. Gu for his affair, and in order to express his sincere determination to admit his mistake, he temporarily handed over all the financial power of the family to Mrs. Gu, including the private money in his hands. Who knew that Gu Xuesui and her daughter would get into trouble with those casino villains at this critical moment!

Now without Madam Gu's approval, even if he wanted to use money to save them, he would be powerless!

Captain Zhang naturally did not ignore the strange undercurrents in the couple's eyes. Everything was just as Mo Li said. Mrs. Gu obviously hated the fact that her husband had kept his mistress and illegitimate daughter under his nose for so many years.

……

Gu Xuehui and her daughter have been abducted for more than two hours, and the street surveillance has completely lost any trace of the car. Judging from the current situation, the situation of the mother and daughter is really worrying.

Captain Zhang didn't have time to waste any more time, so he simply exposed Mrs. Gu's hypocritical face: "Mrs. Gu, after all, you have a very bad relationship with Gu Xuesui and her daughter!"

Mrs. Gu raised her eyes and glanced at Captain Zhang. The scandal of the Gu family's illegitimate daughter was now known to everyone in the circle. She had even beaten someone into the hospital in a rage. Naturally, these things could not be hidden from the criminal police.

Seeing that Captain Zhang was confronting her directly, Mrs. Gu was too lazy to pretend anymore. Her face suddenly became cold and mean: "So what? Every family has its own troubles. Who doesn't have some troubles?"

Captain Zhang was obviously implying something: "Every family has troubles, but not every family will encounter such a vicious kidnapping incident. Madam Gu, I think you seem to be quite happy in your heart."

"Who made them so unlucky?" Mrs. Gu did not deny that both the mistress and the bastard were in trouble, and she was kind enough not to set off a few strings of firecrackers in front of Gu Kai to celebrate.

She took a sip of her tea leisurely. "No, we shouldn't say they are unlucky. We should say they deserve it! If Ma hadn't gone out to gamble, how could she have encountered such a thing? It's all her own fault!... Captain Zhang, you are absolutely right. When I heard that the mother and daughter were kidnapped, I was so happy! I wanted to set up two tables to celebrate!... Besides, they are no longer members of our Gu family. Why should I spend 20 million to save them? Do you really think I am the Leshan Giant Buddha?"

Mrs. Gu picked up an orange slice in front of her with a satisfied look on her face and began to tear the white veins on the orange slice. "Captain Zhang, our family won't pay a penny anyway. As for finding the person, I'll leave it entirely to you police officers. If they can find him, it's considered they're lucky this time. If they can't, that's fine. As family members, we won't force anything anyway. Why are you glaring at me like that? You're not thinking that not paying the ransom is also against the law, are you?"

"Of course it's not against the law—" Captain Zhang's eyes were sharp and his expression was cold: "But if someone colluded with the kidnappers, or even deliberately incited them to harm the hostages, then it's not necessarily the case... That's called an accomplice."

The cleanly peeled orange in Mrs. Gu's hand fell to the ground before she could eat it, and the yellow juice splashed on the carpet.

Her face turned pale instantly, and she looked at Captain Zhang with an evasive look: "What do you mean by that? Who colluded with the kidnappers?"

Captain Zhang saw her guilty reaction and was already 90 percent sure of what he had done. He was too lazy to beat around the bush with her and simply said:

"Aren't you the one who tipped off the kidnappers, Madam Gu?"
