"Ling Zhenfei, sothing happened to Yuluo."
Ling Zhenfei was taken aback and quickly asked, "What happened? Please explain clearly."
Xiao Yaqing said, "It's like this, I received a call from Yuluo earlier. Yuluo has been kidnapped in Moergawa and they are demanding a ransom of ten million. If we don't pay, they'll kill her."
Ling Zhenfei was stunned and asked, "Didn't Yuluo say she had hired bodyguards? What were the bodyguards doing? Are they just taking money and not doing their jobs, letting the protected person get kidnapped?"
Xiao Yaqing said, "It's too late to say anything now. I just called President Sun from Lin's Group. He's already aware of the situation and said Yuluo's bodyguards have contacted Lin's Group and inford President Sun."
President Sun? It was President Sun who called just now, the acting CEO of Lin's Group currently.
Ling Zhenfei hadn't t President Sun often. He was a shareholder and was appointed by Lin Yuluo as the person in charge after the crisis in Lin's Group.
Ling Zhenfei could hardly believe such a thing could happen. Lin Yuluo went on a trip and was kidnapped despite being under the protection of bodyguards. It's just too much to think about.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Alright, don't worry about it. I'll call President Sun to ask about the situation."
"Ling Zhenfei, Yuluo is really counting on you. You have to find a way to rescue her."
"Alright, rest assured. I'll inform you imdiately if there's any news."
Even though Ling Zhenfei said this, he didn't even know where Moergawa was, let alone how to rescue soone from there.
After hanging up the phone, Su Yuwei noticed the unusual expression on Ling Zhenfei's face and asked, "What's wrong? Did sothing happen?"
Ling Zhenfei asked, "Do you know where this country, Moergawa, is?"
Su Yuwei said, "It's an island nation in the South Pacific, composed of islands. It's very scenic, but due to underdevelopnt, it hasn't been properly developed yet."
Ling Zhenfei was stunned, first because he didn't expect Su Yuwei to know so much, and second, because he didn't expect Lin Yuluo to go to such a place.
Ling Zhenfei said, "A friend of mine has been kidnapped there, and I need to find a way to rescue her."
Su Yuwei's expression turned serious as well and said, "First of all, that place is too far, and with the current weather, it's really difficult to get there."
Ling Zhenfei said, "But there's no choice. We can't just not go because it's difficult to get there."
Ling Zhenfei imdiately called President Sun again.
President Sun picked up the call quickly on the other end.
"Mr. Ling, you finally answered. Yuluo is in trouble, did you know?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "I know, please explain the situation."
President Sun said, "The kidnappers initially demanded ten million US Dollars but finally settled on ten million RMB and told us to send it over quickly, or they'll kill her."
Ling Zhenfei was taken aback, not expecting the robbers to be so shaless, haggling from ten million US Dollars to ten million RMB. The price difference was too big.
Ling Zhenfei said, "How are you in contact with them?"
President Sun said, "The bodyguard over there contacted ."
Ling Zhenfei beca angry imdiately, "What are those bodyguards even doing? Were they hired just to pass on ssages?"
President Sun said, "Mr. Ling, do you have any solutions?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Did they give any deadline?"
President Sun said, "I told them we needed so ti to gather the money and asked them for a few days of extension, and during this ti, they must ensure Yuluo's safety."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Did you check with Yuluo? Make sure it's really her."
President Sun said, "They set up a video call for , and I saw Yuluo. Her hands were tied, but it was definitely her."
"So how do we give them the money?" Ling Zhenfei asked.
"They want it transferred to an account. I checked, it's a hacker's account. Once the money is sent, it's gone, and there's no trace of the person," President Sun replied.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Alright, I'll go there personally to rescue Yuluo. anwhile, you need to delay them or send money in batches. Make sure Yuluo isn't hard."
President Sun said, "But Boss Ling, are you confident? Is it safe for President Lin if you do this?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Do you think Yuluo will be safe if you transfer the money? Wouldn't they kill her to silence witnesses after receiving the exchange?"
President Sun said, "For the sake of President Lin, ten million isn't much. This is abroad, and the police are useless. What if they kill President Lin after the deadline?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Then what's the point of calling if your plan is to give them the money and have them release the person?"
President Sun said, "President Lin told to consult with you if sothing major happens. That's why I'm discussing it with you."
This President Sun was good in every way, except he was too gentle and trusting of others, thinking that spending money can avert disasters, which often ends up making them unavoidable.
Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "Alright, as long as we can rescue Yuluo, money is not an issue. You decide for yourself."
After finishing, he hung up the call.
Ling Zhenfei felt a bit frustrated, and the good mood he had earlier was completely gone. He told Su Yuwei, "Let's go back."
He then walked downstairs, and Su Yuwei hurriedly followed.
"What exactly happened to make you so upset?" Su Yuwei caught up with Ling Zhenfei and asked.
As they walked, Ling Zhenfei explained the situation to Su Yuwei. After hearing it, Su Yuwei was also shocked, but she had a different opinion.
"I think President Sun has a point. Now that Lin Yuluo is in trouble abroad, and it's the New Year, there are no boats going out to sea. If you go, who knows how long it'll take? What if the kidnappers get suspicious and kill her during this ti?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "It's because people think this way that it gives kidnappers an opportunity. Whether abroad or dostic, if soone close to you is kidnapped, you might use this excuse to directly give money to the kidnappers.
Even if it's just a few hundred ters away, you wouldn't dare call the police, fearing they might kill your loved one before the police arrive. It's precisely this mindset that gives kidnappers a chance."
Ling Zhenfei truly expressed his thoughts and was extrely worried about Lin Yuluo. When Lin Yuluo went to Moergawa, it seed she had anticipated sothing might happen.
So she deliberately returned ho to see family and friends and even gave her first ti to Ling Zhenfei. It really seed like she was taking care of her affairs.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yuluo indeed encountered trouble. Could it be that Lin Yuluo had foresight?
Unfortunately, Ling Zhenfei can't fly. If he could, he wished he could fly directly over there.
But can cultivating Northern Spiritual Energy really make a person fly? Such thods are all recorded in ancient classics, but no one in today's world can actually do it.
