An hour later, two vehicles brought in a large amount of supplies and equipnt. Everyone busied themselves skillfully, making Luo Zheng smile wryly. Such a major kidnapping event was utterly unprepared, with all preparations rushed at the last minute. This was probably unique in the world, but it didn't matter anymore. Things had co to this point, thinking about these issues was aningless as long as everything was concealed and no traces were left. If the Japan Governnt couldn't find any leads, the situation wasn't hopeless; the key was a swift and decisive action.
Everyone busily prepared all the necessary arrangents, and Yuanfei Zuo expertly commanded the defenses. Luo Zheng and Lan Xue ended up being the most idle, so they simply found a place to sit down and chat. The new plan hadn't been approved dostically, so many things couldn't be decided. The two could only proceed step by step.
Xinzi skillfully opened her laptop, connecting it to a portable radar and other devices. She was clearly an information technology expert—a knife expert combined with a hacker expert, giving Xinzi a mysterious aura that made Luo Zheng regard her more highly. Luo Zheng whispered to Lan Xue, "This Xinzi is not simple; we need to keep an eye on her."
"Understood," Lan Xue replied, pretending to glance casually at Xinzi, then quietly opened her earpiece and whispered, "Sister, locate imdiately and monitor all actions here. Report any issues promptly."
"Understood, keep your phones on. I need to connect through your phones to capture their signals, or you can turn on the signal box," Lan Xing's voice echoed in the earpiece. The so-called signal box was a palm-sized device tied to their waist, which could receive satellite signals from ho and maintain communication with Lan Xing, serving as a crucial device for external communication.
"Got it," Lan Xue casually replied and glanced at Luo Zheng. Luo Zheng nodded in understanding, quietly opening the signal box and phone to facilitate Lan Xing's surveillance. As for how Lan Xing would proceed, that was Lan Xing's business. Luo Zheng trusted that Lan Xing could handle it well and didn't bother to ask.
All equipnt was quickly prepared. The ninjas hid themselves or scattered around for reconnaissance, leaving only a few people in the spacious warehouse. Yuanfei Zuo looked at Luo Zheng and said, "It's ti to collect the ransom. As per your suggestion, we only want the gold. We gave them three hours to prepare. The ti is up; what do you say?"
"Stick to your plan," Luo Zheng responded casually, not wanting to interfere too deeply to avoid affecting Yuanfei Zuo's interests. He glanced at the computer on the table, which was running so programs.
"Alright, dial the first custor according to the list, secure line," Yuanfei Zuo looked at Xinzi.
"Understood," Xinzi imdiately tapped on the keyboard and quickly dialed a number through the internet, handing a microphone to Yuanfei Zuo and nodding. This type of network call used a dynamic IP, making it difficult to track, and the voice was processed, so even if intercepted, there was no need to worry.
The call was soon answered, and a male voice, slightly agitated, asked, "Who is this?"
"Is everything ready?" Yuanfei Zuo said coldly.
"Ready; how will you hand it over? I need to speak with the child to ensure their safety with you," the other party quickly said, with a hint of caution in their tone.
"In three minutes, there will be a trash can downstairs at your ho. Leave it in the trash can. You can choose not to, and I will put your child's corpse in the trash can within three minutes," Yuanfei Zuo said coldly, looking at Xinzi. Xinzi swiftly cut off the call and nodded at Yuanfei Zuo, indicating safety.
Yuanfei Zuo turned to Luo Zheng and said, "We have detailed knowledge of each hostage's family's situation and have arranged people nearby for surveillance. If there's any alarm or unusual situation, we can control it imdiately. Rest assured, there will be no mistakes in this kidnapping operation. Trust us and our capabilities."
"No problem, I trust you," Luo Zheng smiled, knowing that the kidnapping was Yuanfei Zuo's affair, and the profits were Yuanfei Zuo's. Luo Zheng didn't care whether they succeeded or not; success would be best, and failure wouldn't matter as he could simply walk away and find other ans.
Seeing Luo Zheng's indifference, Yuanfei Zuo was even more determined to accomplish this task, proving his strength and capability for future deep cooperation. For the Kaga ninja, for his family's sake, Yuanfei Zuo didn't want to miss this rare opportunity. Tying Luo Zheng would be akin to tying Huaxia Country, obtaining an alliance in diplomacy in the future—where else could one find such a good opportunity?
"We have abundant resources in the country and enough capability and strength to accomplish such minor matters. Please trust our abilities and attitudes. Once we obtain the ransom, what's next? How do you want us to cooperate? If possible, please notify us in advance to avoid such hurried preparations like this ti," Xinzi said nearby.
"I'll inform you in advance, but focus on the current matters," Luo Zheng said indifferently. As for the subsequent plans, there was no final approval dostically, and Luo Zheng hadn't finalized it, so naturally, he wouldn't reveal it.
Everyone chatted briefly, and then a call ca in. Yuanfei Zuo listened for a while, nodded at Xinzi, and said to Luo Zheng, "The ransom has already been paid in full. It's ti to release the person; what do you think?"
"Release them, or others won't believe our sincerity. The first step is just to give the Shijing family trouble and earn so funds for you guys. There's no need to harm any hostages. Be careful not to expose yourselves when releasing them."
"Understood, they're all trusted associates with different degrees of hatred towards the Shijing family, absolutely trustworthy," Yuanfei Zuo explained, calling over a subordinate and instructing him briefly.
The person nodded and entered the room where the hostage was held, pulling one out, knocking them unconscious, and placing them in a sack. They hid them in the car trunk and left hastily with the car. Even ninjas doing such hostage kidnapping felt sowhat overqualified for the task. Luo Zheng found this amusing but couldn't laugh outright; thinking about the country not having decided on his plan, his mood grew heavy. If vetoed again, this task would pose a problem.
In the past, the organization had absolute trust in tasks, allowing Luo Zheng to carry them out freely, greatly reducing his own personnel's casualties. But this ti was different, with restrictions imposed. This ant they couldn't freely take large-scale action, and potentially large casualties could ensue, a result Luo Zheng didn't want to see.
"The second hostage is scheduled for ransom in five hours, with a two-hour interval per person, mainly to observe the reaction of the governnt enforcent departnts. What do you think?" Yuanfei Zuo whispered beside him.
"Carry out your original plan," Luo Zheng didn't want to interfere with Yuanfei Zuo's plan, responding.
"Okay, let's decide based on the release situation of the current hostage," Yuanfei Zuo agreed.
Everyone patiently waited, and after a while, Xinzi suddenly said coldly, "Not good, soone from the Shijing family has arrived at the first hostage's doorstep."
