Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When Lin Rui and Jiang An walked into Wolfe's office, they met Wolfe with a gloomy face.

    "Mr. Wolfe." Lin Rui put the information in his hand on the table, "This is the information I promised to retrieve. Now it has returned to its original owner, and I guarantee that none of the contents will be leaked.  ."

    Wolfe said nervously, "You came just in time. Even if you didn't come, I would have sent someone to find you."

    "What's wrong? Is there any latest development in the hostage situation?" Lin Rui raised his eyebrows slightly.

    "Yes. The other party has made a ransom demand." Wolfe said solemnly.

    Lin Rui raised his eyebrows slightly. He was a little surprised by the development of the matter.  Because he was almost certain that the secret society would never be simply for ransom.  So he asked Wolfe calmly, "How did they make the request? Can we trace the phone number or email address?"

    "No, their way of delivering information is very primitive." Wolfe said with a wry smile, "They use people to deliver messages."

    "Sending a letter? The letter was sent by someone? So who is the person who sent the letter? Where is he?" Lin Rui said in shock.

    Wolfe nodded and said, "The person who delivered the letter has been controlled. There are guards next door watching him. The letter sent is also very strange. It was typed on an old-fashioned typewriter. There are several grammatical and spelling errors.  Error. Obviously the person writing the letter is not very proficient in English."

    As he spoke, he handed the letter in his hand to Lin Rui. Lin Rui looked at it and said in surprise, "Two hundred thousand dollars. It seems that the ransom amount they asked for is not very high. What are you going to do?"

    "The company's senior management is already in emergency negotiations. This woman's identity is extremely special, and she was invited by our company. If something happens to her, it will be very detrimental to the company. I think if it is really just this ransom  The price should be completely acceptable. The company's top management may very well decide to spend money to avoid disaster and pay the ransom." Wolfe nodded.

    The Rockefeller consortium is behind ExxonMobil.  By continuously controlling financial institutions, this organization extends its sphere of influence to all sectors of the national economy. It is a truly wealthy chaebol that can rival the country.  As a joke, extorting two hundred thousand dollars from them is simply looking down on them.

    Lin Rui shook his head and said, "This news is very suspicious. I suggest you not to believe it."

    "Why?" Wolfe frowned.

    "Because this is just like a joke." Lin Rui shook his head and said, "Ask a personal question, Mr. Wolfe, what is your position in the company?"

    "Deputy director of the security department of the Libyan regional project." Wolf frowned.

    Lin Rui shrugged and said, "This position shouldn't be too high, but your salary can reach this amount in a few weeks. Am I right?"

    Wolff hesitated and nodded.

    "The two hundred thousand dollars is probably not enough to buy the light helicopter that made an emergency landing after being hit. The kidnappers with a little common sense also know that people who can afford a private helicopter will never be worth this low. Besides, your plane  The logo of Exxon Mobil Oil Company is obvious. To blackmail a large enterprise like yours, one of the seven largest oil companies in the world, the kidnappers cannot only ask for so much." Lin Rui shook his head.

    "Yes, we also doubted the authenticity of this matter at first. But the person who sent the letter brought a token of the hostage." Wolfe sighed, "The cufflinks of Mr. Robert, the project director, and the lady  ring and aviator glasses. These are absolutely impossible to counterfeit." He pointed to the items in a plastic bag on the table.

    Lin Rui smiled bitterly and said, "This is even more problematic. The project manager, Mr. Robert, is undoubtedly a person who pays great attention to taste, because these cufflinks are made of platinum and diamonds. The lady's ring is even more impressive, not only the ruby  It¡¯s worth a lot of money, and there¡¯s a family crest engraved on the inner wall of the ring. It looks like an antique. The value of these two items alone is probably almost worth the ransom. Are these kidnappers idiots?¡±

    Jiang An was also dumbfounded. He shook his head and said, "This matter is indeed too weird. I suggest you think about it carefully."

    Wolf frowned and said, "I also feel that there is something strange here, so I am very worried. However, I can't influence the decision of the company's top management. Maybe the kidnappers don't know their identities yet, and they don't know these things either."  the value of."

    Lin Rui said seriously, "For this operation, the kidnappers dispatched three armed pickup trucks. The range of the twin anti-aircraft machine guns was not very far. But they accurately forced the landing of the helicopter. This shows that they knew the helicopter's flight route well.  It was carefully planned in advance.

      They did not choose to shoot down the helicopter, but caused damage to the helicopter and made an emergency landing by shooting.  All of this was carefully planned and was by no means a random shooting.  This shows that they have a plan and a goal, and they definitely don¡¯t know who the passengers are on the plane.  "

    "I understand, so I'm also very troubled." Wolfe said helplessly.  "But the decision-making power is not mine. The company has decided to deal with the kidnappers. In their view, this is the best thing. After all, the matter can be settled for a small amount of money."

    "But the problem is that it can't be settled. Why did the kidnapper put forward such a simple condition? There must be other problems involved." Lin Rui paced back and forth, "Where is the person who sent the letter?"

    "He is being monitored, but we have to let him go in the end." Wolfe shook his head. "After all, the hostages are still in their hands. We have to go through him to get in touch with the kidnappers. We have to let him notify the kidnappers and tell them  , we accept this deal."

    "Perhaps when we release him, we can follow the kidnapper and find the kidnapper's lair." Jiang An frowned.

    "I also proposed this idea, but it was rejected. The company's senior management believed that there was no need to take risks. Once they found out that someone was following them, they might cancel the transaction and directly kill the hostages. This kind of thing has not happened before. So for the sake of hostage  For security purposes, we are required to ensure the success of this transaction. We must not alarm them." Wolfe said helplessly.

    Lin Rui smiled bitterly and said, "You think too simply. I'm sure that even if you follow the messenger, you won't get any useful information. Because this ransom demand is simply a smokescreen for the kidnappers to divert their attention. What they want is not the ransom.  , it must be something else. The reason why they threw out the ransom demand is probably just to buy time for another purpose."
