Every girl has a dream, one day there will be a white prince riding on a colorful cloud to welcome her with a loud and lively ceremony. Maybe it's too far-fetched, but at least the prince she likes is a great hero who can protect her and give her happiness.
Su Yu Chen's encounter can only be said to have been a bolt from the blue, disaster struck out of nowhere. Just a few days ago was her 16th birthday. She hadn't thought about making a big fuss because she knew that every birthday party actually had nothing to do with her, it had completely become a family business banquet, and more than half of the guests were people she didn't know. However, there was one good thing - receiving countless gifts.
The girl is growing up, and the originally green apple is gradually becoming a trend of empty valley and elegant orchid. The more beautiful she becomes, the more she has become a bargaining chip for her family, and she no longer knows how many rich young masters are related to her marriage.
Not bad, not one, but many, each of them is a parent or relative smiling and responding "Okay, let's take a look first, maybe we'll become in-laws".
The little girl has undoubtedly reached the age of rebellion, first resolutely refusing her parents' request to hold a birthday party, and then coquettishly asking for money, deciding to invite a few close friends to celebrate her birthday in a small way.
Then the tragedy happened, just after calling good friend Wang Rong to go shopping, they encountered two rich young masters Zhu Xu and Cao Zhaohui who rushed over upon hearing the news. The two young masters patted their chests and said that today you can shop as much as you want, all the bills will be paid by them. The family businesses of the two young masters are worth tens of billions, they have a lot of money.
Su Yu was speechless towards the two big fools, but being able to save her own money was always a good thing. Moreover, with her best friend's excited and clueless appearance, she had no choice but to bring them along. The four of them spent the whole day together, just as they were about to leave after having birthday dinner at the hotel, they were stopped on their way back.
"Sorry, you've been kidnapped!"
When Li Ziqiang thought he was being suave and charming while talking to them, one of the two young masters immediately turned pale with fright, as if he had been raped a thousand times. The other became weak and limp, completely like a pile of mud that couldn't be lifted up.
Wang Rong was also frightened and tightly grasped Su Yu Chen's arm, trembling with fear: "What to do? What to do? Do you think they will force themselves on us?"
Speechless, Su Yu Chen was speechless about her own best friend, at this time she wasn't worried about her own life, but rather whether or not she had been raped. She was very calm and said: "It won't happen, for now we are safe."
The kidnappers kidnapped them, of course, to demand a ransom. Half an hour later, the kidnapper informed Su Yu Chen and the fathers of the other three people about this, each family was asked to pay $500,000. Don't think about reporting to the police, when Li Da Fu's son was kidnapped before, they didn't dare report it either.
When an evil person is notorious for being very evil, this is also a kind of capital.
The parents of the other three came to Su Zhihang to discuss, saying that they were discussing but actually blaming everything on his daughter. Su Zhihang didn't say much and said that he would take care of the ransom for all four people by himself.
He personally negotiated with Li Ziqiang, paid $100,000 first, released Wang Rong, Zhu Xu and Cao Chaohui, and temporarily left Su Yu Chen as a hostage.
Li Ziqiang had also heard of Su Zhihang's reputation and felt a sense of admiration for his willingness to take on everything, although they were worlds apart and would never be able to get along. Despite this, he agreed without hesitation.
One hundred million, two hundred million, although not a small sum of money, is nothing for a group company with over ten billion. It's just that it would be a bit difficult to withdraw cash all at once. You see, many rich people say they have so much assets, but those are just paper things, and there won't be that much real cash.
Li Ziqiang, who had been in the kidnapping business for many years, also knew about the wealthy families' financial situations and difficulties, so he agreed to let Su Zhihang continue to raise funds. After getting $10 million himself, he looked back on his heroic history of several years and found that his name was out, but doing business became increasingly difficult. Each wealthy family strengthened their security measures, and several attempts were made in vain. This time it was actually discovered unintentionally, and it can be considered an unexpected windfall.
At this time, he learned from people in the same way that the Golden Triangle was about to allocate a quota for drugs, so he came to the Golden Triangle with representatives from Hong Kong and wanted to get a share. Of course, it is impossible for him to directly obtain the quota, but only prepare to get some from agents. The closer you are to the place of origin, the cheaper it will be.
Before leaving, he brought all the brothers over. He knew that the Golden Triangle was not a real business district where deals could be made with just lip service and tongue-lashing, but rather a place where one had to take up arms. The only hostage in hand, Su Yu Chen, was also brought along, worth 10 million US dollars.
Su Yu Chen was born into a wealthy family, but received good education from an early age, especially since she followed her grandfather Su Cheng around when she was young. Who is Su Cheng? He's a veteran of the business world for over 50 years, with countless legendary stories in his mind. Compared to his other three grandsons, the old man particularly doted on his only granddaughter, Su Yu Chen.
He often told his granddaughter that relying on heaven, earth and parents is useless, and relying on oneself is the most important. Girls in business can earn less money, but they must know how to protect themselves. However, he looked down on his granddaughter's weekly Taekwondo lessons, sighing that these are all useless decorations, incomparable to real martial arts.
Perhaps the little girl had heard too many legendary stories, so she was not afraid of her situation and panicked, but faced it calmly. All the way, she kept looking for opportunities to see if she could escape.
Due to her own beauty, she provoked the kidnappers' desires, and warned that if they dared to touch her, not only would they not get the ransom, but the Su family would also strongly retaliate.
Li Ziqiang was not afraid of the little girl's threats, but as they say, "there is a way to be a thief", he restrained his subordinates from having any ideas about her. In this world, it's either men or women, where can't you find women? Why bother getting entangled in trouble?
In all these years, he had kidnapped a few people, but none of them were killed, so the wealthy individuals also thought it was better to have one less problem and didn't bother them anymore. Otherwise, when they really wanted to cause trouble for them, their days would have been over long ago.
It's simple. A few rich men pool together a few tens of millions as a reward to find them, and no matter whether it's the underworld or not, there will immediately be countless people who will trouble them one after another.
Su Yu Chen didn't know where she had arrived, and while relieving herself in the woods on the mountain slope, she inadvertently saw Dong Xiao Chuan. Seeing his upright and handsome appearance with a kind of proud and noble air about him, she thought she had found an opportunity to escape and secretly rushed towards him, calling out for help.
When she realized that she had actually arrived at the infamous Golden Triangle, she was thoroughly panicked. She knew that her chance of escape was only once, and if she failed, she would never have another opportunity again, and might even be killed. This young beauty in her prime would certainly suffer a terrible humiliation before her death, just thinking about it made her blood run cold.
Then she heard Dong Xiaochuan say, "Your luck is really good", and she immediately understood that she was finally saved. Only then did she carefully examine Dong Xiaochuan, discovering that he was actually still very young, but emitted a kind of aura that was different from others. This aura made people feel at ease just by looking at him, full of a sense of security.
Every girl has a dream, dreaming that one day a white prince will ride on a colorful cloud to welcome her with a loud and lively ceremony. This may be too far-fetched, but everyone hopes that the prince they like is a great hero. Dong Xiaochuan is just such a heroic figure.
The little girl's thoughts flashed by in an instant, and Dong Xiaochuan didn't know that he had just gotten himself into more trouble. Originally, when executing a task, it was best not to get entangled in disputes or get into unnecessary trouble.
But Dong Xiaochuan's character is different, and it's not that he can't get sand in his eyes, but rather he always feels that since they've met, he should do his best to help. Since this little girl asked for his help today, he would naturally lend a hand. This is also one of his principles as a person.
If a person always abandons their principles, or thinks they are temporarily abandoning them, then over time, these principles are no longer principles. It's like a public official who constantly wants to be promoted and will often encounter unfair things or need help but will temporarily ignore them, pretending not to see them, and tell themselves that when they reach a certain level of office, they will solve the problem later. Over time, no matter how high your office is, you will never be an official who truly serves the people because you have become accustomed to ignoring things, you have become accustomed to being selfish, and in your eyes, promotion is not for the sake of the people.
Many leaders often say that for the benefit of the majority, some people's interests must be sacrificed. This sentence seems to make sense and has become their bottom line. In fact, this bottom line is actually no bottom line, which is a kind of inaction, and it is also a kind of extreme selfishness.
Dong Xiaochuan smiled as he looked at the two men approaching him and said faintly, "What if I don't let you?"
"Kid, you're looking for trouble, do you know who we are?"
"Oh, come on, let's hear it." Dong Xiaochuan said with a smile.
"We are Strong Brother's people."
"Qiang Ge?"
"Li Ziqiang is very famous in Hong Kong. Judging from your appearance, you're probably from the mainland, right? It's normal that you haven't heard of Brother Qiang's reputation."
A man saw Dong Xiaochuan's expression didn't change at all, as if he was really unfamiliar with Li Ziqiang, and hurriedly explained himself. If it were normal times, the two of them would have already started fighting, but since they knew this was the Golden Triangle, Big Brother Li Ziqiang repeatedly reminded them to keep a low profile, so they thought they should be polite first before taking action.
"Li Ziqiang, I've heard of him, the one who kidnapped Li Ka-shing's son." Dong Xiaochuan thought for a moment and really had an impression of Li Ziqiang after all. The case of kidnapping Li's rich son was also a big case. Anything involving Li's wealth is a big deal.
"Just know it's fine, and return that girl if you're sensible."
"No, you're wrong, this girl wasn't snatched from your hands, so it has nothing to do with you. If you want to take action, that means you want to snatch something from me, don't blame me for being ruthless then." Dong Xiaochuan joked and said to Su Yu Chen: "Let's go."
Su Yu's eyes sparkled with delight, and the two kidnappers who had been so reckless just moments before were now hesitant to make a move thanks to her big brother's few words. She obediently followed Dong Xiaoquan into the car, feeling joyful in her heart. As the car drove away, she glanced at the two men behind them, who looked somewhat bewildered, and thought to herself: Finally escaped from danger.
Dong Xiaochuan seemed to know what was on the little girl's mind and said, "Follow me, trouble has just begun."
"Huh?"
"I'm saying, follow me and you'll be in greater danger!"
