The kidnappers were ruthless and demanded a huge ransom, threatening to kill the victim if it was not paid on time.

Although these families are wealthy, they still feel helpless when faced with such a blatant threat.

They gathered together to discuss countermeasures and finally decided to find Meng Yingnian.

Meng Yingnian has not been idle these days.

He began to investigate secretly since the first threatening letter from the kidnappers was delivered.

With his extensive network of contacts and keen insight, he has found some clues.

Although the kidnappers' whereabouts are secretive, they are not without trace.

Through some subtle clues, Meng Yingnian gradually locked his target on Jinxiu Huating.

One of the most prosperous residential areas in the city, Jinxiu Hua Ting is home to many wealthy businessmen and celebrities.

The kidnappers chose this place as their hiding place, obviously to confuse the public and use the complex environment to cover up their tracks.

However, Meng Yingnian knew very well that since the kidnappers dared to hide in Jinxiu Huating, they must have made some preparations.

If you act rashly, search with great fanfare.

It is very likely to alert the kidnappers and even anger them, thus threatening the safety of the hostages.

Therefore, he decided to hold back for the time being and appease those anxious families first.

Tell them that you have a clue, but it takes time to confirm it.

After comforting the noble family, Meng Yingnian came to the police station alone.

He knew that it would be difficult to find the kidnapper's exact location in a short period of time relying on his own strength.

The police have more professional resources and means, and can conduct more detailed investigations without alerting the kidnappers.

He had a long and confidential conversation with the head of the police station, detailing the information he had and offering his suggestions.

Secret sentries were placed around Jinxiu Huating to monitor people entering and leaving, and technical means were used to track the communication equipment that the kidnappers might use.

The police attached great importance to Meng Yingnian's suggestion and took immediate action.

At the same time, Meng Yingnian did not let down his guard.

He continued to secretly collect more clues through his own channels, trying to find the kidnappers' flaws.

He knew that this battle with the kidnappers was not only a contest of intelligence, but also a psychological game.

If you are not careful, you may lose everything.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the kidnappers' threats were like a sword hanging over one's head, suffocating one.

But Meng Yingnian remained calm.

He knew that only by responding calmly could he find a breakthrough in this crisis, rescue the hostages and calm the turmoil.

A few days later, the police investigation made new progress.

Through technical means, they locked onto several suspicious communication signal sources within Jinxiu Huating.

One of them is located on the top floor of a high-end apartment building.

The resident information of this apartment shows that the owner is a foreign businessman who is not in the country all year round and the house has been vacant.

However, in recent days, the apartment's water and electricity usage has suddenly increased, apparently indicating that someone is staying there.

After Meng Yingnian learned the news, he immediately worked out a detailed action plan with the police.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, they decided to act at night.

Using the cover of night, they surrounded the apartment silently.

At the same time, the police also dispatched a special police team to prepare for a violent attack if necessary.

On the night of the operation, Meng Yingnian personally participated in the operation.

He stood in a hidden place opposite the apartment, observing the movements on the top floor through a telescope.

The curtains of the apartment were closed, but occasionally a faint light could be seen coming through, indicating that there was someone moving around inside.

Time passed by minute by minute, and everyone's nerves were stretched to the extreme.

At two o'clock in the morning, the operation officially began.

The SWAT team quietly entered the apartment building and quickly took control of the elevator and stairwells.

At the same time, another team of people descended from the roof, preparing to break in from above.

Just as the SWAT team was about to break in, there was a sudden commotion in the apartment.

The kidnappers seemed to notice something was wrong and started to move.

Meng Yingnian immediately ordered the operation to be accelerated. The special police team quickly broke into the house and engaged in a brief firefight with the kidnappers.

A few minutes later, the kidnappers were subdued and the hostages were successfully rescued.

After the kidnapper was captured, the police quickly interrogated him.

Surprisingly.

The kidnapper turned out to be a foreigner with a high nose, deep eyes, dark skin, and spoke Chinese with a heavy accent.

His arrest shocked everyone, after all, it is not common for foreigners to commit crimes in China.

Especially such rampant kidnapping and extortion cases.

The kidnappers confessed their actions and were even a little arrogant.

He admitted that he had long been eyeing these aristocratic families, believing that they were wealthy and had a prominent position in Chinese society.

Kidnapping their families is the quickest way to acquire huge wealth.

He also revealed that he chose to commit the crime in China because he believed that China's public security was relatively relaxed.

In particular, the supervision of foreigners is not strict enough, and they can take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

However, he clearly underestimated the capabilities of the Chinese police.

At the moment of his arrest, his face was full of disbelief.

He originally thought that his carefully planned operation was flawless, and he had even planned a wonderful life after receiving the ransom.

He planned to use the money to invest, start a company, become a boss, completely get rid of his past poverty and live a rich life.

But unexpectedly, it all ended before it even began.

During the interrogation, the kidnapper's mood gradually changed from arrogance to frustration.

He admitted that he chose this path because of long-term life pressure and failed entrepreneurial experience.

He had tried to start a business many times, but failed each time due to insufficient funds or poor management.

Gradually, he lost confidence in obtaining wealth through normal means, and instead took risks and chose to commit crime.

"I just want to control my own destiny,"

The kidnapper whispered, with a hint of helplessness and regret in his eyes.

"I don't want to be looked down upon anymore, and I don't want to live in poverty anymore."

"I thought that as long as I had money, everything would be fine..."

However, his defense did not win the sympathy of the police.

Everyone is equal before the law. No matter what his motive is, the fact of the crime cannot be changed.

Based on his confession, the police will further investigate the details of the case and try him according to law.

Having finally solved this big issue, Meng Yingnian felt a rare sense of relief.

When he returned home, it was already late and Yu Zhi was sitting on the sofa in the living room with a book in his hands.

Seeing him come in, she raised her head, smiled and asked, "Is the matter settled?"

Meng Yingnian nodded, walked over to him and sat down, telling him what had happened in detail.

He narrated every detail from the capture of the kidnappers to the interrogation.

There was a hint of fatigue in his tone, but also a hint of relief.

Yu Zhi listened quietly, but his brows gradually furrowed.

When Meng Yingnian mentioned the kidnapper's appearance, Yu Zhi's face suddenly changed.

A vague figure flashed through my mind.

That was a few months ago when he was on an international flight to Europe and a murder and robbery occurred on the plane.

The criminal also had a high nose, deep eyes and dark skin.

At that time, he suddenly attacked on the plane, threatened passengers with a knife, and stole a large amount of property.

And killed many people.

After the plane landed, he disappeared without a trace.

European police searched for a long time but still could not find any trace of him.

"It's him!" Yu Zhi stood up suddenly, his voice trembling slightly.

"That criminal who killed and robbed people on the plane! No wonder we couldn't find him in Europe. Turns out he'd fled back to China!"

When Meng Yingnian heard this, his expression suddenly became serious.

He originally thought it was just an ordinary kidnapping and extortion case, but he didn't expect the kidnapper to have such a bad criminal record.

He immediately realized that the foreigner's crimes were far more serious than they had imagined.

"Are you sure it's him?" Meng Yingnian asked in a deep voice.

Yu Zhi nodded, his eyes firm.

"I'm sure. His appearance is exactly as you described, and his arrogant attitude is exactly the same as it was on the plane."

Meng Yingnian took a deep breath, a complex emotion welling up in his heart.

He originally thought that the case had come to an end, but he didn't expect that there was such a hidden story.

He immediately picked up the phone, dialed the police station number, and told the police the information provided by Yu Zhi.

"This foreigner's crime should have been punished more severely."

Meng Yingnian told the police everything Yu Zhi had told him.

The police didn't expect things to be so complicated.

And it involves an international case.

European police had previously asked them to assist in this incident.

However, since they did not know where the criminal was, the Chinese police simply agreed but did not take any specific measures.

Unexpectedly, this person fell into their hands.

The criminal is still on the wanted list on the European police website.

Moreover, the criminal's nationality is European, so it is not easy to sentence him in China.

Eventually it will be handed over to European police.

The police felt that Meng Yingnian was able to provide them with this key clue, which would be very helpful for their subsequent punishment of the criminal.

After Meng Yingnian hung up the phone, he spoke in a low voice. There was a hint of coldness in his tone, and he was obviously angry at the criminal's evil deeds.

Yu Zhi nodded, gently held his hand and comforted him.

"You've done a great job. If it weren't for you, he might still be at large and hurt more people."

Meng Yingnian was silent for a moment, then sighed softly.

"I just think that scum like this shouldn't be given the chance to harm society again."

A few days later, the police further investigated the background of the kidnappers based on the clues provided by Yu Zhi.

It was discovered that he was indeed involved in several international crimes, including the murder and robbery on the plane.

The evidence was conclusive and the kidnapper's crimes were exposed one by one, and he was eventually sentenced to extremely severe punishment.

On the day when the criminals were escorted back to Europe, Yu Zhi and Meng Yingnian were waiting at the airport early.

The sky was gloomy, as if even the air carried a depressing weight.

Yu Zhi stood outside the cordon, his hands clenched into fists, his nails almost digging into his palms.

His eyes were fixed on the plane that was about to take off, and his heart was beating like a drum in his chest.

The moment the criminal was taken onto the plane, Yu Zhi's breathing almost stopped.

The figure that once kept him awake at night and gave him nightmares was now bound by handcuffs and shackles, staggering down the gangway.

His face still had that disgusting indifference, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

Countless images flashed through Yu Zhi's mind in an instant.

The fear, pain and helplessness that he had once tried to forget surged into his heart like a tide.

He rushed forward, but was grabbed by Meng Yingnian.

Meng Yingnian held his shoulders tightly and whispered, "Calm down, Yu Zhi. He has received the punishment he deserves."

But Yu Zhi couldn't calm down.

His eyes were fixed on the criminal, and his voice was trembling but full of power.

"Did you think you could get away with it? Did you think you could get away with it forever? Look at you now! You finally got what you deserved!"

His voice echoed in the empty airport, carrying a heart-wrenching pain.

The criminal raised his head and his eyes met Yu Zhi's. At that moment, a trace of panic seemed to flash across his eyes, but he quickly returned to indifference.

However, Yu Zhi saw fear in his eyes—the kind of fear she had felt countless times before.

Meng Yingnian stood beside him, supporting him silently.

He knew that Yu Zhi needed this moment to vent the emotions that had been pent up for a long time.

Evil will be punished, this sentence seems so true at this moment.

Yu Zhi's tears finally burst out, but he didn't wipe them away, but let them slide down.

The criminal was taken into the police car, the door slammed shut, the engine started, and it gradually disappeared in the distance.

Yu Zhi stood there, not moving for a long time.

Meng Yingnian patted his shoulder gently and whispered, "It's over, Yu Zhi. Everything is over."
