Chapter 156: Chapter 156: 1 Billion Ransom Chapter 156: Chapter 156: 1 Billion Ransom The man walked in, looked around, and throughout the grand mansion, the security was tight. Even in every nook and corner, there were several bodyguards covertly stationed.
Huo Tingdong stood on the stairs, his gaze falling upon the man, scrutinizing him with suspicion.
The man smiled and boldly took a few steps forward, at the sa ti—
The bodyguards surrounding Huo Tingdong raised their pistols, aiming at him.
With just one command from Huo Tingdong, the man’s body would be riddled with nurous bullet holes instantly.
Facing these dark gun barrels, the man showed no fear, kept walking as if strolling leisurely until he reached the sofa, and slowly sat down.
“Mr. Huo…” Seeing the man’s arrogance as he walked in, ignoring so much security force, the personal bodyguard felt a bit annoyed.
Yet Huo Tingdong did not give the order to shoot, so they dared not fire at will.
Huo Tingdong said, “Don’t shoot. He has a bomb on him.” He felt that this man looked sowhat familiar, as if he had seen him sowhere before, but he couldn’t specifically recall.
The man looked up at Huo Tingdong, having seemingly heard his words, “It is indeed Mr. Huo being cautious. Please allow to introduce myself simply. My surna is Wu, and this visit is indeed quite presumptuous.”
Huo Tingdong slowly walked towards him, “Visitors are guests.” He sat down opposite the man and slightly furrowed his brow.
In the room,
Momo directly hacked into the Huo Mansion’s surveillance system, pulling up the living room’s monitoring, and saw the man sitting opposite Huo Tingdong.
He captured the man’s facial features and entered them into the dark domain system for a search, quickly pulling up all the background information on this man.
Wu Xianjun.
A fugitive with warrants out for his arrest, with rewards amounting to tens of millions. He was not only implicated in multiple kidnapping cases but was also involved with several dark web organizations.
Among them was an organization nad Black Mass, a global underground syndicate involved in human trafficking, organ trafficking, drug smuggling, and arms dealing, utterly unscrupulous.
And Wu Xianjun was a mber of this organization.
Momo couldn’t help but speculate that his Mommy’s involvent in the kidnapping was not accidental and possibly related to sothing from seven years ago.
That Zheng Xuanyi must be related to the dark web organization Wu Xianjun is part of. Perhaps, seven years ago, his brother didn’t die but was sold to the dark web organization by Zheng Xuanyi, whereabouts unknown.
This organization not only trafficked in humans but also in human organs, colluding with several private hospitals to procure organs and making high profits from them.
So of these organs even made their way abroad.
The entire cri syndicate had ford a complete industry chain.
Just need to find out the ins and outs of this dark web organization, and the events from seven years ago could be clarified!
Momo felt sowhat exhilarated. He was investigating Wu Xianjun with one hand, while still tracking another car’s route with the other, but discovered that the car had already lost its trace.
In the living room,
Wu Xianjun muttered, “I am a guest after all. Isn’t there even a courtesy of serving a cup of tea for a guest?”
Huo Tingdong said, “Pour the tea.”
Mo Ke took a deep breath, went to the tea room, started to prepare and pour the tea.
Wu Xianjun spoke again, “This visit was abrupt, and I didn’t have ti to prepare any substantial gift, but I did specially prepare sothing.”
As he said this, he lightly reached into his bosom.
Huo Tingdong slightly furrowed his brow, the bodyguards behind him once again aid their guns at Wu Xianjun, this movent making them very alert, suspecting that Wu Xianjun was hiding a lethal weapon. Thus, they commanded, “Put down your hand!”
Wu Xianjun smiled lightly, “Young man, don’t be so tense! Look at your boss, so calm and collected, yet you are all edgy!”
Huo Tingdong said, “Put down the guns.”
His words left the people behind him uncertain who he was addressing. Was he telling Wu Xianjun to “put down the gun”, or…
Huo Tingdong seed to notice their doubts, turned his head, and commanded again, “I said to you, put down the guns.”
“But… Mr. Huo…”
Huo Tingdong said, “He won’t dare to shoot.”
Wu Xianjun laughed heartily for a mont, raised his eyebrows, “Mr. Huo, I didn’t bring a gun.”
He lifted his clothing, pulling out a very small object from inside, and slowly placed it on the table, “This is a little gift I specially prepared for Mr. Huo, hoping Mr. Huo will accept it.”
Huo Tingdong stared at it, his expression suddenly changed.
It was the tracking device he had secretly placed on Lin Qi, how could it be in his hands?
Huo Tingdong looked at Wu Xianjun suspiciously.
Was Lin Qi in his hands?
Or…
Had he discovered the tracking device on Lin Qi early on and secretly removed it?
Wu Xianjun slowly said, “I wonder if Mr. Huo is satisfied with this gift?”
Huo Tingdong coldly said, “Where is she now?”
Wu Xianjun replied, “Rest assured, she is fine, safe and sound.”
Huo Tingdong said, “How can I be sure of the truth of your words?”
Wu Xianjun said, “Mr. Huo, let’s be open and straightforward. Miss Lin is now in our hands, she seems to have discovered sothing she shouldn’t have. We originally planned to silence her by killing her. But unexpectedly… Miss Lin has a deep connection with Mr. Huo.”
He paused for a mont, then inquired thoughtfully, “So, I ca to discuss a deal with Mr. Huo. Mr. Huo, how much do you think Miss Lin’s life is worth?”
This statent undoubtedly ant ransom kidnapping.
Huo Tingdong said, “Why make it sound so pleasant? A deal? Is this how you make a deal? Just na your price, how much ransom do you want?”
Wu Xianjun laughed again, “Mr. Huo, if words are not supposed to sound pleasant, should they sound unpleasant?”
Huo Tingdong said, “You said it yourself, let’s open the skylight to speak brightly, there’s no need for pomp and circumstance.”
Wu Xianjun nodded, straightened his body.
Mo Ke, carrying two cups of tea, walked over. Wu Xianjun took the tea, had a sip, and his voice suddenly turned cold, “That woman is currently being held by my n. Mr. Huo, let earnestly advise you not to call the police, nor try to find out her whereabouts. I always maintain good professional ethics; I only want money, not lives. Within two days, give ten billion in cash, and I will co personally to collect it.”
He paused, then raised his head, looking into Huo Tingdong’s eyes, “Don’t bother scheming against either. I think you’ve noticed, I’m strapped with a bomb. If your n shoot , I might die instantly, but are you willing to bet whether I can trigger the explosion before I draw my last breath?”
Huo Tingdong fell silent.
Mo Ke couldn’t help saying, “Don’t you care about your life?”
Wu Xianjun continued, “Those of us in this profession prioritize money over life. But I think Mr. Huo won’t easily make a move against , right? After all, if I die, your woman will imdiately face dire consequences. She must be very important to Mr. Huo, you surely wouldn’t bear to see her life in danger.”
