Just as Wei Hongde survived the disaster and walked towards his home, Wu Shicai was staying in the private room of the Wanguo Casino, anxiously waiting for news from Lai Huaiwu.

Three hundred thousand US dollars is a huge amount. After Lai Huaiwu received the ransom, he had to hand it over to Wu Shicai as soon as possible. But now the transaction time has passed, why hasn't Lai Huaiwu come to report to him yet?

Lai Huaiwu was his trusted subordinate for many years, otherwise he would not have handed over such an important matter to Lai Huaiwu. Naturally, he had great trust. What is important is that he knows each other well. Lai Huaiwu dared not do anything for his family just for his family.

Could it be that something went wrong in the transaction? The Wei family did not collect all the funds?

The 300,000 US dollars is indeed a little more expensive, but with Wei Hongde's family business, Wu Shicai believes that the money can still be taken out.

Or maybe the Wei family was unwilling to suffer this great loss and captured Lai Huaiwu? Yes, the Wei family has enough connections and energy in the concession, and it is not impossible to take the initiative.

Thinking of this, Wu Shicai felt that since things had changed, he could not wait so stupidly. He immediately called a group of subordinates, quickly dispatched, and went to the slum in person to check the matter.

Because kidnapping Wei Hongde was a big deal, in order to keep it secret, Wu Shicai was only handed over to Lai Huaiwu alone, and the other confidants did not know about it.

In order to keep it a secret, Lai Huaiwu did not seek any helpers, but just chose his most trusted subordinates to participate. Therefore, except for these participants, only Wu Shicai knew about the hiding place of the Grand Site, and he had to check it in person.

Like Li Zhiqun, Wu Shicai, in order to prevent the assassination and attack at the Shanghai Station, had enough personnel to guard the entry and exit. After the group arrived at the slum, they looked at the dark house and felt something was wrong.

Too quiet, this is absolutely not normal!

"Go in and take a look!"

A group of people rushed in, and the lights began to light up in the slum. The subordinates quickly discovered the situation and quickly reported to Wu Shicai: "Captain, there is no one inside, and there are still a lot of blood on the ground."

Something really happened! Wu Shicai felt no luck anymore, so he entered the slum in person and began to inspect the scene.

I saw that almost all the doors and windows in the room in the yard were destroyed, and broken wooden boards and broken glass were scattered all over the ground, making it messy.

Wei Hongde was gone, and the people in charge of guarding him were gone. Looking at the blood flowing on the ground, it goes without saying that these people have been killed.

But the person who started the attack was clean and even the body had been moved away. I don’t know what the situation was.

Wu Shicai's subordinates were all from Qing Gang disciples, so it was okay to use swords and guns, but at the investigation site, he could not make any moves in investigating and siege attacks, and he was even worse than those in the police station. Facing the scene in front of him, he did not find any clues.

The same is true for Wu Shicai himself. He was not a really strictly trained agent. In addition, the other party was clean and had no trace left. After checking it, he found nothing except the rags on the ground.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Wu Shicai's temples bulged, his head swelled, and he had severe headaches. The failure of this kidnapping would have serious consequences.

He was not afraid that Wei Hongde would turn back and take revenge. After all, he was a gangster, and he was not afraid of wearing shoes with barefoots. Even if Wei Hongde knew that he was the mastermind behind the scenes, he would not believe that Wei Hongde could really be willing to do so. He was willing to use porcelain to touch his rotten stone, fight him to the end, and refuse to admit it. It's amazing that everyone has done it.

But if I haven’t obtained the 300,000 US dollars, how can I fill that huge hole? Once the director comes back, how can I hand over the account?

"Let's go to Lanjiaqiao!"

Wu Shicai brought people to Lanjiaqiao again, but there was even less people here. Wu Shicai knew that Lai Huaiwu would never come to collect money alone, so he must have brought helpers with him, but the current situation is the same as the slums, and people are gone without a trace!

Should I be so cruel? Since the other party rescued Wei Hongde, it was amazing that he would not pay the ransom, but even the person who collected the ransom was solved. The character and methods of these people were really cruel and decisive. It was obvious that they wanted to completely eliminate the person who kidnapped Wei Hongde and not leave any future troubles.

Wu Shicai couldn't help feeling a little guilty. This time he chose Wei Hongde as his target, which seemed like a mistake.

It was already early in the middle of the night, and the night was dark and the search conditions were very poor. After searching for a long time, his subordinates found nothing. Wu Shicai had to order the team to stop and go back and have a headache about how to finish the matter.

In the French Concession, Wei Hongde sent away all the Wei family who had recovered from joy, leaving behind his eldest son Wei Xilin, and carefully asked about the specific situation. He wanted to figure out who was taking action to save his old life.

But as Wei Xilin's narration was absent, Wei Hongde asked in a strange tone: "You found Lao Gu, just begging him to raise dollars and ask him to pay the ransom for you? Didn't they ask me to save me?"

"No, really, no. I'm afraid that you will endanger your safety. It's all done according to the kidnapper's wishes." Wei Xilin shook his head and said.

He was also very confused. According to his father's description, it was not the kidnapper who took the initiative to release people, but there were unknown forces to rescue him, but he did nothing!

Wei Hongde believed Wei Xilin's words. He knew his son and his personality was not strong. If such a thing happened, he would be used to using money to solve problems.

"It's really strange. Who would have taken action? In order to save me, he mobilized so many people and killed the kidnappers and saved my life in vain?"

Wei Xilin thought for a moment and guessed, "I think it must be Gu Xuan. Apart from their Subei Gang, we have never asked anyone else for help. According to my estimate, Gu Xuan fell in love with the 300,000 US dollars and was reluctant to hand it over to the kidnappers for nothing. He might as well just rescue you."

Wei Xilin's mind was very fast and he guessed the truth of the matter at once, but there was a slight error.

"Old Gu and I have been in love for many years, and he is not that kind of person!" Wei Hongde shook his head and said.

Wei Xilin continued, "Maybe Gu Xuan won't, but his disciple Ji Hongyi may not be."

"Ji Hongyi, the boss of that winery company?" Wei Hongde asked.

Ji Hongyi is also a powerful businessman in the business world, and Wei Hongde is not unfamiliar with him.

"Yes," Wei Xilin nodded, and then he focused on the conversation with Gu Xuan and his apprentice. "I went to investigate Ji Hongyi. This person is definitely not simple, and it can even be said to be unfathomable. Although he is just a young boss, his status in the Subei Gang is second only to Gu Xuan, and his real strength is even better.

Especially since the business is very big, there are many companies under his name. Strangely, his gang runs legitimate business, and he doesn't care about any casino or tobacco restaurant.

Moreover, the companies under his name are not the kind of shell companies that sell dog meat under the guise of sheep. They are all serious industrial companies. Donghuang Department Store alone has hundreds of employees and is of great strength. Just say that this time he raised US dollars, he took out 150,000 US dollars at a time. To be honest, I was shocked at that time."

Wei Hongde was a little surprised when he heard Wei Xilin say this. He pondered for a moment and said, "You are right. It seems that Ji Hongyi is definitely not as simple as an ordinary Qing Gang leader. This person is both black and white, and his power and financial resources are so strong. It is not difficult to save me.

At present, it seems that this person should be undoubtedly this person. You are going to give me a generous gift and go to see Gu Xuan and Mr. Ji tomorrow with me. Do you know? The kidnappers did not follow the rules of the world at all, so they did not think of letting me come back. Once they get the ransom, they would tear up the tickets and even give me the slaughter. Oh, I was so worried at that time. If these people hadn't come to the door, I would have been buried in some chaotic grave. The favor I owe this time was too great." Wei Hongde shook his head and sighed, thinking about it was all scary!

"Yes, actually I have prepared the gifts. I'm waiting for you to come back and come to thank you, but..."

Wei Xilin hesitated for a moment. He was also a smart person. There were many things that could not be explained clearly. So he continued to ask: "What do we say after meeting?"

Wei Xilin's meaning is, if it is made clear and thanks to Ji Hongyi for his military rescue, what if the other party thinks that the Wei family's father and son came to ask for the 300,000 US dollars that had not been spent? Wouldn't it be a waste of offense?

Now Ji Hongyi is a cruel character that cannot be offended in the minds of their father and son, and Wei Xilin is quite in awe.

Wei Hongde said angrily: "It is impossible for others to take action in vain. It is naturally impossible to pay back the 300,000 US dollars. My life is not worth even this money?"

"That's what I mean!"

Wei Xilin was born into a wealthy family and never worried about money since he was a child. He was the concept of money to use and solve problems, and of course he would not be short-sighted.

At around 10 o'clock in the morning, Wu Shicai, who was still in a hurry, received a call from Luo Xingchao, asking him to return to the No. 76 Agent Headquarters as soon as possible.

These days, Wu Shicai was like an ant on a hot pan in order to raise funds, so he was so busy that he didn't go to work at the agents headquarters. This time he received a call from Luo Xingchao, so he naturally did not dare to neglect it. He put down the phone and left the Wanguo Casino, preparing to rush back to the agents headquarters.

As soon as he left the casino gate, a confidant hurriedly came up and whispered to report: "Captain, after dawn, we searched near Lanjia Bridge and found a piece of blood at the exit of an alleyway. Captain Lai and the others may have..."

"Okay, don't promote this matter, I'll deal with it later!" Wu Shicai waved his hand and ordered. He had known this for a long time and had completely given up now. However, now he didn't care about these trivial matters. Luo Xingchao's tone was a bit bad on the phone. After all, he was the director in charge of the work, so he still had to deal with it carefully.

He hurried back to the agents headquarters, came to Luo Xingchao's office, knocked on the door and entered.

"Director Luo!"

At this time, Luo Xingchao was processing the documents. When he saw Wu Shicai coming in, he also stood up and signaled Wu Shicai to sit on the sofa, and said, "Brother Shicai, you and I have little communication during this period. Have you misunderstood me?"

Luo Xingchao's words shocked Wu Shicai. It seemed that Director Luo was quite dissatisfied with his never-before appearing at the headquarters. He felt a little guilty. You know, although Luo Xingchao is usually kind, if he really cares about him, he can't stand the background of the Japanese behind him. He quickly shook his head and said, "Director Luo, you and I have worked together for so long, and I, Wu Shicai, have always respected Director Luo. There is no misunderstanding. There is no such thing as this, no such thing!"

"Okay, that's good!" Luo Xingchao smiled slightly and showed a kind smile again. "Since the director went to Nanjing, Brother Shicai has been a lot distant from me. The director said that you and I are both literary and military, and we are his right-hand man. We should be closer to each other and not be separated from each other."

After hearing Luo Xingchao say this, Wu Shicai relaxed and nodded and smiled: "Yes, I'm just a rude man. I'm a rude man. I can't go to the big table. This is such a big stall in the management agent headquarters, so I still have to work hard on Director Luo. In the future, Director Luo will be asked to take care of one or two more."

Luo Xingchao pretended to behave, but he just slightly hit Wu Shicai. When he saw Wu Shicai surrender, he beat him up and asked directly: "Brother Shicai is polite. You and I will work together to manage this family for the director. By the way, I wonder how Brother Shicai investigated in Sheng Zhiyuan's case? Are there any clues about the Shanghai Station?"

When Wu Shicai heard Luo Xingchao ask about this, he couldn't help but feel panic. Where did he investigate any Shanghai station? However, Sheng Zhiyuan's property was found to be broken by him, and now he is still smashed in his hands and no one takes over.

Seeing Wu Shicai's expression in embarrassment, Luo Xingchao waved his hand and said with a smile: "I also know that the Military Control Commission Shanghai Station hides in the concession. It is very difficult to investigate and it will be difficult to achieve results in a while. Brother Shicai, don't be in a hurry, just look for it slowly!"

"Yes, yes, the investigation is indeed difficult, and I have not made any progress here." Wu Shicai quickly followed Luo Xingchao's words and said hurriedly.

"Okay, you can sort out your work situation during this period and then..."

Luo Xingchao raised his hand and looked at the time, and said again: "In half an hour, we will set out to go to the train station together to welcome the director back to Shanghai!"

"What?"
Chapter completed!
