District 9

At noon the next day, near Marseille Street in Basin, a luxury car slowly stopped. Three young men in suits pushed the door and got out of the car and stood on the roadside.

Tang Ming sat alone in the car, stepping in and waiting.

About six or seven minutes later, a well-dressed middle-aged man with a slicked back hair came out from the back street. He turned around and glanced around, recognized the license plate number of Tang Ming's vehicle, and then hurried over to meet it.

"Lu Xiaofeng's friend?" asked Ma Zai on the roadside.

"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded.

Ma Zai stopped saying anything and stretched out his hand to help him pull the car door open: "Get in."

The middle-aged man glanced at Tang Ming in the car, bent down and sat in the passenger seat: "I am Lu Xiaofeng's friend."

Tang Ming stepped in and glanced at him: "Is the thing here with you?"

"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded.

"Give me your stuff and I'll save Lu Xiaofeng." Tang Ming stared at the other person and replied.

"I can give you things, but you can't use them." The middle-aged man thought for a moment and replied.

Tang Ming was silent when he heard the sound.

"The thing is a hard drive. It requires two sets of passwords to open it. Only Lu Xiaofeng knows it." The middle-aged man added again.

"Then fucking Lu Xiaofeng, what's the point of letting my sister take this thing?" Tang Ming asked in a bored tone.

The middle-aged man looked back at Tang Ming and said softly: "Lu Xiaofeng left a message for me."

"What words?"

"He said, if something happens to him and you come to get something, let me tell you, as long as you can rescue him, he can help you get at least 20 million in cash." The middle-aged man looked at Tang Ming calmly and said .

"Haha." Tang Ming sneered upon hearing this: "Does he have 20 million?"

"The matter in Yanbei is not over yet. Lu Xiaofeng's arrest this time means that he and the Han family have completely broken up. Then as long as he can come back, this thing in my hand, plus him, can be taken from the Han family I want 20 million." The middle-aged man said clearly.

Tang Ming thought about it for a long time: "You can go, I will contact you again."

"Okay." The middle-aged man responded, decisively opened the door and left.

"Damn, they're all smarter than monkeys!" Tang Ming loosened his collar and cursed in a very depressed mood, then lowered his head and took out his phone and dialed an unfamiliar number.

Ten seconds later, the call came through: "Hello?"

"I've met him, but you can't use what Lu Xiaofeng has in his hands." Tang Ming said bluntly: "The hard drive has two sets of passwords, and only Lu Xiaofeng knows it."

"Then what's the point of him contacting your sister and looking for this person?" the other party asked in confusion.

"He contacted my sister because he wanted me to rescue him. The condition is that Yan Bei's Gu Yan case is not over yet. Then when he comes back, he can threaten the Han family with things and extort at least 20 million in cash. ." Tang Ming whispered: "Lu Xiaofeng is very smart and has thought about what he will do if something happens to him in advance."

The other party was silent.

"If we can't use the things, we can't trade with Su Zhengdong." Tang Ming frowned and said, "Let's stop fighting. You can make a price and let my sister back."

"This is impossible." The other party refused without hesitation: "If I don't leave, your sister will definitely not be able to come back."

"Then what the hell do you mean?" Tang Ming asked, frowning.

"Just wait for my call." After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.

"damn it!"

Tang Ming cursed distractedly, took out the cigarette case with his trembling right hand, opened the car door and shouted: "Let's go."

The three men got back into the car. A young man sitting in the passenger seat turned back to Tang Ming and said, "Boss, why don't we lie to each other? Just say that Lu Xiaofeng's people have already given the things to you. Let's just take them." Will it be exchanged for Yanyan?"

"Do you think the other party is stupid? They must inspect the goods before agreeing to the transaction. The hard drive cannot be unlocked without Lu Xiaofeng, how can I cheat?" Tang Ming frowned and replied: "These people from outside are very ruthless, I made a slight mistake , Xiaoyan’s life is gone. Alas, let’s go first.”

…

About half an hour later, Su Zhengdong answered the ringing phone at the residence on Forian Street in Bach City: "Hello?"

"I got the stuff, how can I exchange it for Xiaofeng?" Tang Yan's voice sounded.

"Haha, it's so fast." Su Zhengdong smiled and replied, "Come to my mansion and let me take a look at things first."

"Are you kidding? When I go to your mansion to deliver something, do I still have a safety guarantee?" Tang Yan asked calmly.

"In that case, you don't need to bring the originals, just partial copies that won't form a chain of evidence. I'll inspect the goods first, and then we'll discuss the transaction details." Su Zhengdong replied in an extremely smooth manner.

"Is this necessary? I'll take the things and you take Lu Xiaofeng. Can't we just trade directly?" Tang Yan asked back.

"I have the final say on how to deal with people in my hands. Do you understand?" Su Zhengdong responded without any urgency.

Tang Yan was speechless when she heard this.

"If you want to save someone, just come to my mansion with your things and let's sit down and talk." Su Zhengdong smiled and replied, "You should think about it."

After saying that, Su Zhengdong hung up the phone without waiting for Tang Yan to reply.

Beside the desk, the male assistant looked at Su Zhengdong and asked, "Did you force him too hard? If the other party takes the risk and just stabs the thing out, then Lu Xiaofeng's effect will be gone."

"They don't want Lu Xiaofeng to die." Su Zhengdong smiled and waved his hand: "Tang Yan replied so quickly, it must be Tang Ming's instruction. This kid must want to save Lu Xiaofeng."

"The Han family means that we should get the things back quickly." The male assistant reminded.

"Lu Xiaofeng is the most important bargaining chip. If he is in our hands, things will leak out sooner or later." Su Zhengdong replied cautiously: "They are the ones who are anxious. We don't need to take risks."

The male assistant thought about it for a long time and said no more.

"Besides, we have never even seen this thing. Lu Xiaofeng is the one who is talking about it. Are you sure whether Tang Yan has it or not?" Su Zhengdong hugged his shoulders and added: "Even if we really want to trade, I'm damn sure We need to take a look at some of the goods first, right?”

"That's right." The male assistant nodded.

…

Outside the area, in the endless wilderness, two cars were parked on the side of the road with their lights off, without any light.

Tang Yan was sitting in the first car and whispered: "You also heard that I can't get Su Zhengdong out. If I want to trade, I have to go to the mansion to get some things to show him."

In the darkness, Brother Xiao lowered his head and lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and said, "Get out of the car, let's discuss it."

Qin Yu and Qi Lin heard the sound and opened the door and stepped out of the car.

Outdoors in the ice and snow, Qi Lin stood on the left side with his hands behind his back. After thinking for a long time, he said: "There is no other way but to use Tang Yan as a bargaining chip to talk to Tang Ming. He wanted to let his sister go home, so he snatched Lu Xiaofeng away. Come here. This way we don't have to take action, we can just think about how to deal with Tang Ming."
