Chapter three hundred and ninety second strange kidnapping case
Updated: 2012-08-19
That night, Duke was still busy solving a difficult communication problem. The new wireless technology launched by the revamped version was named ultra-wireless. It has officially passed the military's test and has been used as the technical standard for future war zone wireless transmission. It is now included in the comprehensive planning of the data link project.
Faced with large-scale applications, there are still many details to solve for this technology provided by Duke. However, due to its new architecture, coupled with ultra-long transmission coverage distance and efficient spectrum utilization efficiency, this technology has been included in the military as a core technology for priority development, with a very high degree of confidentiality, and a basic prototype system has been developed.
Under the high-intensity test of the military, this prototype system exposed many different problems. Some project teams can solve them themselves, while some difficult problems involving principle need Duke to answer.
These questions were summarized by Duke's auxiliary experts, and confirmed that they were all problems that the project team could not solve by themselves before sending them to Duke to solve. Duke usually checks these questions at night for research and answers.
Duke was frowning and pondering, but suddenly the phone rang. Duke picked up the phone and saw that it was Cai Siqiang's call. It was that boy, but it was so late. Cai Siqiang had something to do to find him. Duke answered the phone in surprise. Before he could say anything, he heard Cai Siqiang say like a cannon.
"Duke, no, that lunatic guy was kidnapped, and his whereabouts are unknown now." Cai Siqiang is rarely so anxious, but this fact is too great. Duke was also very anxious when he heard it. But now he has to listen to the whole story of this matter first. Since Cai Siqiang received the news first, it is impossible to just tell Duke such a useless news.
"This happened at around 5 pm today. The madman was in Male and had just held a meeting with Xie Yunfeng and others. According to Xie Yunfeng, after the meeting, the madman took two bodyguards out to the Cascashi restaurant where he often went for dinner. On the way to this Western restaurant, the two bodyguards died on the spot, and the other was seriously injured and died on the way to the hospital.
The madman was taken hostage by someone and disappeared into the sea. Because the whole thing happened very quickly, the kidnappers were very cruel. The Maldives police had almost no time to respond. After the incident, Xie Yunfeng urgently contacted the senior police officers of the Maldives authorities, but because of the limited capabilities of the Maldives police, he still gained nothing until now."
Duke couldn't help feeling nervous when he heard the kidnappers' attacks so bloody, and he was full of concern about the safety of the madman.
"After 7 o'clock in the evening, the kidnappers contacted Xie Yunfeng and proposed preliminary negotiation conditions," Cai Siqiang said here, unable to help but pause, and hesitated a little. The kidnappers' condition was really too strange, making people look like a trap prepared in advance.
Duke waited for a while and found that Cai Siqiang did not continue to say it, and couldn't help asking, "What are the negotiation conditions? How much does they want, $1 billion? $2 billion? All these are easy to say. As long as you can guarantee that people can be rescued, you can give them. After all, talent is the most important thing."
Thinking about the old Master Li of the Li family who was only locked up for one day, Li Ka-shing happily paid a ransom of 1.038 billion Hong Kong dollars, which became the highest ransom kidnapping case in Hong Kong's history. Duke spoke out for $1 billion and $2 billion, just like this is not money. Even Cai Siqiang is now a super rich man with a net worth of $10 billion, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved after hearing Duke's words.
The price offered by Duke may be the highest ransom in the world in history. It can be said that for the sake of Dong Feng, Duke now doesn't care how much it costs at all.
But this matter is not just for money. Cai Siqiang struggled for a while and finally decided to tell Duke the truth, because even if he concealed it himself, it would be useless. Duke, who could not get the answer, could get the real situation by practicing Xie Yunfeng in the Maldives.
"Duke, they put forward a very strange condition, requiring you to go to the Maldives to participate in the negotiations. Otherwise, they will tear the votes." Cai Siqiang said with a heavy heart, "I suspect that the madman is actually a trap for you."
Duke was stunned. He never expected that the kidnappers would make such a request. With his current IQ, of course, he knew that such a strange condition was raised in this kidnapping case. It was simply said that I was coming for you.
"Is there any other information?" Duke was stunned for a moment and then asked.
"It's only so much for the time being. By the way, the kidnappers asked you to rush to a deserted island in the northern Maldives within 24 hours. They said that if they didn't see your yacht and real people in that water, they would send a part of the madman to a place in Male every 6 hours. To be honest, I really don't know what to do about this?"
After saying that, Cai Siqiang almost couldn't help crying. Faced with such an obvious trap, he could only watch his brothers be cruelly killed. For Cai Siqiang, the passionate man, it was too cruel.
In Cai Siqiang's view, the negotiation conditions of the kidnappers have almost no value to consider. Now a brother has been brought in. If Duke comes to negotiate again, it would be like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth and then getting a brother. Cai Siqiang cannot do such a thing.
Duke thought for a while, patted his head, and whispered, "I'll go. Prepare for me." Although he knew in his heart that Dong Feng was like a bait now, Duke still had to swallow it.
Duke couldn't imagine how he would live his second half of his life after receiving a piecemeal Dong Feng. Although there were no special vows together in the past few years since he studied to start a business together, and he had a trick like the Taoyuan Three Francisco, in fact, the few people had a more tacit understanding than their own brothers.
Just like Cai Siqiang knew that if Duke was not told the truth today, Duke would definitely find out the truth by himself. If the kidnappers had not made this request, Cai Siqiang would have flew to the Maldives to deal with the matter himself.
So, although Duke's answer was completely expected by Cai Siqiang, in the face of such an obvious trap, Cai Siqiang had to dissuade him, "Duke, this matter is too strange. We cannot act at the other party's pace, otherwise the madman will not be rescued, and it will be even more difficult to deal with if you trap you in."
"I've thought about it. Although this matter is strange, we don't have the ability to bargain." Duke shook his head, "If you find a way to send back the news, you say that you want me, Du, to come forward. I need absolute security. You must have a large number of bodyguards. You will definitely not go alone, otherwise there will be no room for negotiation."
After Duke said this, he gritted his teeth and said, "If the other party can't do it, then there is nothing to talk about. Du vowed to offer a reward of one billion US dollars to dig out all the people involved in this matter. As well as the kidnapper's parents, brothers, sisters, wives and children, they will not let go of any of them, and they will all be fed into pieces and feeding them sharks."
Although this matter was done secretly and made the Maldives police unable to take advantage of it, Duke believed that for those underground organizations with vast powers, there was a huge bait of one billion US dollars. Even if they dug three feet into the ground, they would definitely find out the kidnappers involved in this matter one by one, and even the kidnappers might be betray each other for a high bounty.
Not to mention that this group of kidnappers is just for money, even the men of Uncle Lain who are very pursuing and faithful, betrayed their spiritual leader for money. So Duke doesn't believe that if he offers such a high bounty, he will not be able to find this group of kidnappers.
Cai Siqiang had never heard Duke say such cruel words. He knew that persuasion was no longer useful, because if it were him, he would be the same. But Duke's threat and conditions seemed very reasonable. If the kidnappers were smart, they would agree.
Thinking of this, Cai Siqiang simply said, "I will contact Xie Yunfeng immediately and ask him to find a way to pass this information to the kidnappers and bodyguards. I suggest you ask the military for help. Although our security personnel are also good at retreating from the military, they lack coordination between each other compared to front-line special personnel, and their combat power is much weaker than a small military team that is established."
Duke nodded. This was exactly what he thought. He is now in close contact with the military and has a straight line with Mr. Liu. Although he is not very clear about his value in the military's eyes, Duke believes that Rahsf Island is worthy of the military's direct discharge from the military for escort. So this time, facing this tough battle, he should not have too much problem asking for another escort force of the Marine Corps platoon.
If the other party is really a kidnapper rather than a country's army, I believe that with such a strong guard force, there will be basically no big problem with his own safety. It's just why the other party must come forward instead of Cai Siqiang or someone else. Logically speaking, if you want to make money, Cai Siqiang will give him the same amount. He can really consider a very large amount of the ransom demands proposed by the kidnappers.
As Duke proposed, the level of one billion dollars and two billion dollars is not a problem.
So the other party must have made some attempts to him, but if he is so confident that he will agree to him, he is really so confident that he will definitely agree?
Well, I must insist on having complete security guards before going to negotiate, and see how the other party responds under this condition. If I refuse directly, then there is nothing to say about this matter, and everyone will only be able to break the verge of death.
Although Duke and Dong Feng have a deep brotherly relationship, they will not be foolish to come to the door for abuse. In the worst case, the serious one is to use the huge financial resources in his hands to dig out all the kidnappers and give them even more bloody revenge.
With Duke's current financial resources, it is enough to set off a terrible war in the underground world. Things that the Maldives authorities and police cannot do will no longer be a problem in the face of huge bounties.
