The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 372 The Kidnappers Break Their Promises
Li Yan nodded and said, "Okay, Deputy Director, just like last time, we will temporarily stop the work of the special task force. Huo Qiqiang and I will visit Li Kaize in a private capacity to find out the situation as much as possible, and then decide on the next course of action."

Li Yan's words calmed Shen Cheng's irritable heart a lot and also gave him some comfort. In this environment where he was surrounded by enemies, at least Li Yan was still standing by him. A friend in need is a friend indeed!

Shen Cheng reached out and patted Li Yan on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work!"

He looked at Huo Qiqiang who was huddled up beside him with a guilty look on his face, and smiled slightly: "Qiqiang, don't be discouraged. How long have you been the team leader? Liang Feihu has been in charge of the Serious Crime Unit in the West Kowloon Region for a long time. It can be said that everyone from top to bottom is his people. It is reasonable for him to be able to do this."

"At least, you have a good vision. There are two group leaders and four team leaders, but only one traitor has emerged. This is beyond my expectation. I will give you some more time. I believe you can get rid of them all."

Li Yan smiled secretly. Another team leader, Wu Changqing, also had big problems, but Li Yan still had some use for him, so his problems were not made public.

The two of them went out, Huo Qiqiang got in the car, and were about to go to Li Kaize's Dongying Digital Technology Building.

Li Yan asked in surprise: "Where are you going?"

"Aren't we going to Li Kaize's place? Didn't we just agree on this with Deputy Director Shen?" Huo Qiqiang said as if it was a matter of course.

Li Yan looked at him as if he was a fool: "Fuck, you just cheated someone, if you go again this time, Li Er will definitely kick you out."

"I"

Huo Qiqiang smiled awkwardly: "Don't you have my brother-in-law? You must have a way. How about we just go and have a chat and a drink like last time, and then come back to fool Deputy Director Shen?"

"Last time was last time, this time is this time, the situation is different?"

Li Yan shook his head. "I heard that the gangsters were irritated by you and wanted to stop the deal. It was only after Li Kaize begged for explanations and almost knelt down that they got a chance. Even so, the gangsters doubled the ransom to 1 billion. You have messed things up like this. If you come again, you will be turned away, right?"

"No one can do anything this time. Even if I take out another 5 billion, Li Er will not let us in."

"What? Is there such a thing? How could this be? Why didn't I hear you mention it in the meeting just now?" Huo Qiqiang asked anxiously.

"This is internal information, and it must not be leaked! Besides, Deputy Director Shen is already under a lot of pressure. Telling him about these things would only cause more trouble, wouldn't it?" Li Yan said casually. Moreover, the news had to be revealed step by step. If all the cards were given out at once, what would he use to fool Shen Cheng next time?

Huo Qiqiang thought about how he had increased Li Kaize's business of 500 million to 1 billion. Now he had no time to hide. If he dared to come to his house, Li Kaize would kill him. Even for the sake of Mr. Huo's face, it was useless. He almost killed Li Kaize's wife and children.

“If that’s the case, then we should not appear in front of Li Er for a short period of time. Otherwise, let alone getting any information, he might even want to chop both of us to pieces.” Huo Qiqiang looked scared. Fortunately, he didn’t go there rashly. Wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?
Li Yan shook his head helplessly and stretched himself: "Yeah, so why should we go and get into trouble?"

"What should I do, brother-in-law?"

"Cold salad."

Li Yan suggested, "We have been too busy and tired recently. The weather is good today, so why not go play golf? We can go to Deep Water Bay Golf Course, which is close to home. After playing, we can go home for dinner."

"Isn't this a bad idea? Brother-in-law, Deputy Director Shen and his colleagues are eagerly looking forward to it. It's not appropriate for us to just go and have fun like this, right?"

Huo Qiqiang was embarrassed at first, and just when Li Yan was surprised and thought that Huo Qiqiang had changed his temper, Huo Qiqiang's expression changed, and he said with a devilish smile: "The most important thing is that there are people coming and going in the golf course. If they find out, it will be hard to say!"

"Why don't we go out to sea? We won't meet any acquaintances."

"That makes sense. Then let's take my yacht out to sea for fishing." Li Yan followed suit and immediately changed the activities for the trip.

"Hey hey hey"

Huo Qiqiang was delighted at first, then startled. He looked at Li Yan with a complicated expression, curled his lips quietly, and muttered softly: "Your yacht? That was given to me by my uncle!"

"What are you mumbling about? Why don't you drive?"

Huo Qiqiang started the car, and the two drove out of the police station gate and merged into the traffic on the street.

In fact, Huo Qiqiang's concern that Li Yan would have trouble explaining when he returned home at night was a bit unnecessary. For three consecutive days, Li Yan and Huo Qiqiang did not return to the police station. They just called back and told Shen Cheng a few words that they were working hard, progress was good, and everything was under control, and then they went out to play with peace of mind.

While the task force's work came to a standstill, Dilu was not idle.

Li Kaize had plenty of money in his account at this time. A mere 1 billion yuan was no problem at all. Even if the bank loan could not be used and the funds from the sale of Dongying were pledged, he could use the 5 billion yuan of hot money sent by Li Yan without any scruples. And he didn't have to wash it. It was just right for hot and black!

On the third day after negotiating the transaction terms with Dilu, Li Kai transferred the numbers from the unknown account, which had not yet been cleaned, to the account designated by Dilu.

In accordance with Li Yan's request, Di Lu quickly transferred the funds withdrawn from the familiar account to the account opened in Vietnam, and then transferred them to the offshore account in the British Cayman Islands.

After going through multiple transfer procedures, it is guaranteed that no one can trace the source.

It was originally agreed that Dilu would release the people as soon as the money was received. Because of the experience a few years ago, Li Kaize did not expect these gangsters to break their promise.

Who knows what you fear will come true.
When he learned that the other party refused to release the person, Li Kai angrily questioned: "How can you go back on your word? You said that you would release the person as soon as the money was transferred?"

Dilu felt ashamed. To be honest, although he was a gangster, he thought that his character was still good and he always kept his word.

Moreover, Li Kai was very cooperative and never called the police from beginning to end. The first time, he reported the matter to the media himself, making the matter a big deal.

Later, the police took the initiative to file a case for investigation. As far as Dilu knows, Li Kai firmly refused the police's involvement, and he provided the transaction details to Li Yan. Even if Dilu used this as an excuse to ask for more money, the other party did not hesitate too much, just wanted to take his family back.

It is rare to find such an honest and trustworthy client who is dedicated to protecting the kidnappers!
But Dilu had no choice but to continue deceiving the other party according to Li Yan's request for a special purpose.

All you can do is to help the other person take good care of his wife and children and prevent them from getting hurt in any way.

At this time, Dilu's face turned red, and he smiled in a shameless tone, saying a reason that he himself despised: "You can't say that! Second Master, we originally wanted cash, but you insisted on transferring it."

"But if it's a transfer, we still have to clean it. You know, those underground financial companies are very unscrupulous and will charge more than half of the 'handling fee' at any time. So when it falls into our hands, we don't even have 500 million left. What do you think we should do?"

Li Kai was stunned. He didn't expect the other party to be so shameless and actually came up with such an excuse. It seemed that you don't need to launder the cash?

None of the other kidnappers made such excessive demands.

Do you want me to pay the 'handling fee' for you?
You still want clean money. You have plenty in your account, and you own countless shares in various companies. Do you dare to take it?
Li Kaize has now discovered that the other party is definitely a group of shameless people who do not keep their promises. No matter how much money he offers, they will not let him go.

It seems that I am still too naive. At this moment, I can only stabilize the other party temporarily, maintain contact, and then think of other ways to deal with them?

Li Kai suppressed his rage, his eyes were cold, and he asked calmly, "So what do you want?"

"Second Master, give me another 10 billion. I promise that as long as we receive the money, we will immediately release the two people you need. Will you keep your word?"

"Okay, I hope you can keep your word this time."

After hanging up the phone, Li Kai threw things in anger. The secretary stood at the door and didn't dare to come in. He didn't do this until he smashed the office to pieces and vented all his frustration.

Li Kai weakly sat back in the chair and picked up the photo of his son Xiaowen playing in the playground with a bright smile on his face. Tears flowed unconsciously and he felt heartbroken.

Then he picked up the phone and called Boss Li, the almighty man and his last resort.

After receiving Li Kaize's call, Boss Li did not say anything. He listened quietly to his son's account of the whole process. Feeling the sadness in his son's tone and the helplessness in denouncing the shameless acts of the gangsters, Boss Li sighed softly.

Money is a small matter, the Li family has no shortage of it now. The main thing is that the child is innocent and is Li Kaize’s first son.

As a father, Boss Li recalled the feeling when he first became a father. He understood the feeling of holding his first child, so he did not blame Li Kaize.

Given Li Kaize's age and experience, it is normal that he cannot handle such things well.

Even though I seemed calm and rational when dealing with my eldest son's affairs, in fact, that was inseparable from my extensive experience and knowledge in my life.

It was not easy for Boss Li to survive that chaotic era, the era of the 500 million inspector, and maintain his position as the top boss in Hong Kong Island.
