Chapter 364 Negotiation between the two parties
Hearing what Li Yan said, Huo Qiqiang's face suddenly turned red, and a strong feeling of shame filled his chest, and he felt unwell.

He opened his mouth to make some excuses, but didn't know what to say. Li Yan was too smart and hard to fool!

Moreover, Huo Qiqiang also felt that Li Yan's blame was reasonable. The first thing he thought of was his own family, and subconsciously excluded the entire Huo family.

Huo Qiqiang lowered his head, looking ashamed, and fully realized the gap between himself and Li Yan.

Whether in terms of vision or pattern, I am far behind the other party. This represents a huge gap in ability and level, which is definitely not the distance of first-level police rank that I had simply believed before.

Huo Qiqiang was also reflecting on himself and did not speak a word all the way back to the police station.

Seeing Huo Qiqiang, who was driving, was touched by his words, his face turned blue, white, and red, and his eyes kept changing, as if he was struggling with something.

Li Yan smiled slightly, knowing that the other party was undergoing some kind of transformation. It was very difficult for people to change and break the long-established concepts and thinking from within. They could only rely on themselves. He did not disturb her, lying on the passenger seat, bleary-eyed, and taking a nap.

After returning to the police station, Li Yan and Huo Qiqiang told Shen Cheng the actual situation. Shen Cheng felt embarrassed and asked Li Yan and the others for their opinions.

The two of them explained the methods and means they were about to take, and Shen Cheng nodded repeatedly. So Huo Qiqiang followed the plan prepared in advance by Li Yan, gathered the best members of the task force, and began to carry out the reconnaissance work vigorously.

Li Yan still followed the same routine as before, doing whatever he was supposed to do and leaving everything to Huo Qiqiang, calling it training and cultivation.

In fact, he was just lazy. He and Shen Cheng often played chess, drank tea, chatted and gossiped in the office.

Huo Qiqiang and his team B often traveled between telecommunications companies, banks, and Li's bodyguard company, and were very busy.

Three days later, in Li Kaize’s office on the 38th floor of the commercial building where Dongying Digital Technology is located.

Li Kaize's private phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

After sending the secretary away, Li Kai took a deep breath, calmed himself down, prepared himself mentally, thought about how to negotiate with the gangsters, and answered the phone.

"Hello, is this Mr. Li Kaize?"

"It's me, you?"

"Hello, Mr. Li. I am a reporter from the Hong Kong Daily News. I would like to interview you. Have the criminals contacted you? What conditions did they propose? Have you obtained help from the police?"

Li Kai's face suddenly turned black, and he flew into a rage. He stood in the middle of the office and shouted hysterically, "Assholes, you reporters, are you done yet?"

"I'm waiting for an important call. Can you please stop being so annoying and keep calling me from different phone numbers? Get out, all of you!"

The reporter of Hong Kong Daily heard the angry voice and the sound of hanging up the phone from the other end, and his brows lit up. He edited the headline of the second newspaper on the computer and said: "Li Kaize is under great mental pressure and seems to be on the verge of going crazy?"

'The kidnappers have not contacted us yet, and the life and death of Lin Zhihui and her son are unknown?'

Li Kai hung up the phone angrily, still cursing. In the past two days, I have received countless calls from people pretending to be kidnappers but actually being reporters asking about the situation.

"Not many people know my mobile number?" Li Kai was puzzled.

I don’t know which loser leaked his private cell phone number, causing reporters to buzz around him like flies.

Even Li Kaize, who is usually good-tempered, was harassed and started to curse, but he didn't dare to turn off his phone, for fear that he would not answer the call when the kidnappers contacted him.

Damn it, the shovel.
Li Kaikai cursed slowly to himself, if he knew which bastard leaked his private phone number, he would definitely kill that bastard.

Li Yan and Huo Qiqiang, who were far away at the West Kowloon Police Station, sneezed twice in succession and looked at the weather outside the window. It was January, and the cold wind was howling, making the green plants in the yard sway constantly, and the fallen leaves rolled away with the west wind.

Li Yan sighed, he didn't expect the winter in Hong Kong to be so cold, maybe he had a cold?
Huo Qiqiang, who was sitting opposite the desk, asked with concern, "Brother-in-law, do you want to go see a doctor? You've been sneezing several times recently. Are you sick?"

"Besides, it was transmitted to me, and I felt a little uncomfortable."

"If you're not feeling well, why don't you stand up and close the window over there? It's winter, and you open the window with a cold wind blowing. Who can stand it?" Li Yan rolled his eyes at Huo Qiqiang and said dissatisfiedly.

Huo Qiqiang stood up quickly and said with a flattering smile: "Okay, brother-in-law, isn't this your office? I thought you wanted to get some fresh air?"

"Lin Guoping has something to do at home today, so he's on vacation. He's the one who did this kind of thing before. When have you ever seen me do this kind of thing?"

"Okay, go on, what's going on with Mr. Li Er?" Huo Qiqiang said excitedly, "Brother-in-law, you have a good idea. I'll have the police officers pretend to be reporters and make harassing phone calls to Li Kaize every other day."

"At present, it is judged that the kidnappers have not contacted him. Because Mr. Li has been annoyed to death these two days, if the kidnappers contacted him, the first thing he would do is to change his mobile phone number. Now that the call can still be connected, it means that the kidnappers have not contacted him. The news from the cleaners we hired also confirmed this. Li Kai stays in the office every day."

"Well, good job. Keep monitoring. If there is any movement, notify me immediately."

Two days later, Li Kai's eyes were bloodshot, he looked tired, his face was exhausted, his sparse hair was unkempt, and he looked very decadent.

Sitting behind the desk, holding a photo of his son in his hand, his face full of pain.

He hadn't slept well these past few nights and had his cell phone next to him, but he had received countless spam calls and wasted countless expressions, and Li Kaize's patience had reached its limit.

At this time, the phone rang again. As soon as the call was connected, Li Kai shouted angrily: "I said I won't accept interviews. Which newspaper are you from? Tell me your name, or I will squeeze your newspaper out of business and make you get out of here."

"Second Master Li, why are you so angry? Don't you want your wife and children anymore?"

Hearing the lazy and defiant voice coming from the other side, Li Kai was suddenly shocked. He quickly suppressed his anger, adjusted his mood, calmed down his agitated mood, and said politely: "I'm sorry, too many reporters have harassed me these past two days, calling me day and night to ask for interviews. I'm really annoyed. I was a little rude just now. Sorry."

"Oh, I understand. I didn't expect this matter to become so big. Our boss was also very hesitant about whether to ask you for money. After all, the police must be paying attention now."

Li Kai quickly said: "No, no, there are no police here, don't worry, they want to participate in the investigation. But I refused, I don't want my child to get into trouble?"

"You're smart. Since you're so straightforward, we won't waste any more words. As usual, we'll let you make sure these two people are safe first."

Li Kaize only heard a faint chaotic noise coming from the other side, and then heard a familiar voice: "Kaize, save me, and Xiaowen, he is very worried and keeps crying?"

"Daddy, Daddy, it's so dark here, I'm so scared, when will you pick me and Mommy up to go home, I miss you so much, woo woo woo."

Li Kai heard the fear and panic in his lovely son's voice; the bursts of childish crying were like a knife cutting into his heart.

Li Kai's mind was in a mess, and all the strategies he had thought of before disappeared. He felt a pain in his heart and was about to cry. Suddenly, he had a strong urge to shout, "Don't be afraid, Xiaowen, Daddy is here, Daddy will protect you, Daddy will pick you and Mommy up soon."

Before he could finish, the person just now took the phone away. Li Kai shouted angrily: "I don't care who you are. I can agree to any conditions you offer. But you must ensure the safety of my son and Ms. Lin Zhihui."

"If they lose even a hair, I will not let you go even if you hide to the ends of the earth."

"."

Hearing Li Kaize's angry voice, Dilu understood the other party's feelings very well and allowed him to release the psychological pressure accumulated during this period.

After all, this is their big client, and the other party has to pay so much money, so naturally they will be more tolerant.

Because Vietnamese people always speak Cantonese with a local accent, and this order was crucial, Dilu took charge personally and negotiated with Li Kai.

After Li Kaize vented his anger, Di Lu said calmly: "Second Master Li, calm down. Anger can't solve any problems. Let's talk about the terms, shall we?"

Li Kai was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and realized that the other party was not his subordinate, nor was he a business partner who depended on him for a living, but a gangster he had requested.

Afraid of angering the other party, he quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I acted on impulse, I hope you don't mind."

"It's okay. I understand how you feel right now. Second Young Master, I think we should get down to business as soon as possible. Let's discuss this transaction on the basis of friendly negotiation, mutual benefit, and mutual respect for each other's status, shall we?"

Dilu's polite and courteous words made Li Kai feel a strong contrast, as if he was not being blackmailed, but negotiating a business deal. The other party's attitude reminded him of an old incident a few years ago, when that person was even more courageous, tied explosives all over his body, and came to his house alone to talk about similar things with his father.

At that time, Li Kaize did not take it seriously. It was not until now when he faced him in person that he realized that such a person was more terrifying than those who spoke harshly and looked ferocious.

Because they are more rational and more difficult to deal with. At the same time, such people are more trustworthy and will not break the rules. This is the only thing that makes Li Kaize feel relieved.

After a long silence, Li Kai asked, "Okay, what are your conditions?"

"Five hundred million Hong Kong dollars, cash only!"

Li Kai breathed a sigh of relief, this price was within his expectations. After all, his illegitimate son could not be more valuable than his eldest brother. These bandits still had some sense.
