Life 1984

Li Yunhai was also speechless.

These robbers actually recognized Su Wan'er as a famous painter!

The problem is, these people didn’t recognize Li Yunhai, the billionaire!
Aren’t these guys blind?

Two gunmen walked over, pointed at Su Wan'er and asked her to stand up.

When other people were bullied, Li Yunhai could protect himself, but now that it happened to his woman, Li Yunhai could no longer ignore it.

He took Su Wan'er's hand, stood up slowly, and said calmly: "She is a painter. But she doesn't have much money. Because she only paints one or two paintings a month!"

The man in the white suit sneered, "Do you think I'm stupid? Her paintings are very profitable! Not long ago, she even held exhibitions everywhere! I really didn't expect to see the great painter Su on this cruise ship!"

Li Yunhai was also puzzled. How could someone like you actually pay attention to a painter?
The man in the white suit added, "Don't try to hide it from me! I read the newspaper every day just to get to know more rich people!"

Li Yunhai thought to himself, you are really a talented guy!
This guy actually knows how to find rich people by flipping through newspapers!
Fortunately, in the past few years, Li Yunhai is no longer the chairman of Sihai Group.

He rarely appears in the news media.

Therefore, his fame is even less than that of the new painter Su Waner.

The man in the white suit said, "I've seen reports about Su's group in the newspaper. You didn't make less money from holding an art exhibition, did you?"

Li Yunhai said: "You are wrong. The one who makes money is not her, but the profiteer who helps her sell paintings."

Su Wan'er kept nodding beside her and looked at Li Yunhai in surprise, wondering who would call her a profiteer?

The white suit asked, "What do you mean?"

Li Yunhai said, "It's very simple. Before the exhibition, she had no fame and no money. A businessman spent only a little money to buy all her works, then hyped them up, held an exhibition, and sold them at high prices. All the money earned belonged to the businessman. What does it have to do with Miss Su?"

The man in the white suit frowned and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Li Yunhai said: "Of course it's true! Because I am the profiteer!"

The man in the white suit's expression changed several times, becoming somewhat uncertain, and he kept staring at Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai also quickly figured out an identity for himself as a profiteer.

In this way, he could pay a small sum of money to redeem himself without revealing his true identity.

The man in the white suit said in a deep voice: "Okay! Since you are a profiteer, it's not too much for me to ask you for money, right?"

Li Yunhai said: "I didn't make any money either! Because there are people in this world who are more cunning than me!"

The man in the suit was led by Li Yunhai and asked, "What do you mean?"

Li Yunhai sighed and said, "It's very expensive to hype and hold art exhibitions! The rent of those venues is very expensive! Some galleries even split the profits with me 50-50! And I also have to pay for transportation, mounting, advertising, and hype. Her paintings were not worth much at the beginning, and she only made a little profit after selling them later."

The man in the white suit actually felt the same way and nodded, "I also understand these tricks! Business is hard to do and money is hard to make!"

Li Yunhai pointed at Su Wan'er, then at Ding Qiang and the others, and said, "Sir, I don't really make much money, but these people are my friends. I am willing to use all my savings to redeem us. What do you think?"

There are six of them in total, and they need to come up with six million!
The man in the white suit waved his hand and said, "Okay! As long as you pay the money, I will let you go!"

Li Yunhai took the satellite phone.

Just as he was dialing the number, Chen Yao suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Li Yunhai's hand tightly.

Li Yunhai was startled: "What are you doing?"

Chen Yao stared at his eyes anxiously and said in a low voice, "Mr. Li, I recognize you. I won't tell you who you are. Can you help me this time? Pay the ransom for me, and I'll find a way to pay it back after we get ashore."

She has recognized Li Yunhai!

But she didn't say it.

She wanted to ask Li Yunhai for help.

Li Yunhai thought that if Chen Yao revealed his true identity, the robbers would definitely hold on to him!
At that time, let alone ten billion, even if it was a lot of money, Li Yunhai would have to take it out to redeem himself.

Chen Yao regarded Li Yunhai as a life-saving straw, tightly grasped his hand, and said: "Mr. Li, save me! Please."

Li Yunhai said helplessly: "Okay!"

He said to the man in the white suit, "I like this woman very much. I want to take her for myself. I will pay for her as well. From now on, she will be my slave!"

The man in the white suit showed an understanding smile: "You are indeed a man of character! I admire you, profiteer!"

People are divided into groups, and things are gathered.

Li Yunhai gave himself an identity as a greedy and lustful profiteer, but unexpectedly he gained the approval of the robber leader!

He was thinking, who is the most reliable person to call?

Nyingchi?

No!

Although Lin Zhi would not ask too many questions, she would definitely ask what was going on, and this call had to be on speakerphone. As soon as Lin Zhi opened her mouth, she would call out his name, and then the truth would most likely be revealed.

By the same token, Shen Xiulan is not suitable either.

Guo Wanhua?
Sister Guo will definitely listen to Li Yunhai and won’t ask too many questions. It’s just a few million, and the other party will definitely transfer the money.

However, when Sister Guo opened her mouth, she also called him Yunhai!

When the robbers heard this name, they would probably think that he was the mainland tycoon Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai thought of Li Juan.

Because Li Juan kept calling him, "Brother!"

Both of them have the surname Li and they call each other brother and sister. It is reasonable for Li Yunhai to ask her to transfer money, and it will not be easily exposed.

So Li Yunhai called Li Juan.

The call was connected.

Sure enough, the man in white suit asked to turn on the speakerphone.

Li Yunhai turned on the speakerphone as he was told, and Li Juan's voice came from it: "Who is it?"

"Li Juan, it's me!"

"Brother!" Li Juan smiled in surprise, "Why did you change your number?"

"Juanzi, I'm in urgent need of some money. Please transfer 7 million to the account I mentioned."

"Seven million? Okay, brother, tell me the account."

As expected, Li Juan had no doubts at all.

There was nothing wrong with the conversation between the two people.

Li Yunhai told Li Juan the account number given by the man in white suit.

Li Juan was very surprised because this was a bank account of a Swiss bank.

And they don't have any business dealings with people in Switzerland.

But she didn't ask anything. She confirmed the account information with Li Yunhai and said, "Okay, I'll arrange the transfer right away."

Li Yunhai said: "Okay, Juanzi, I have something else to do here, so let's not talk for now. Goodbye."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and returned the satellite phone to the man in the white suit with a normal expression.

"Very good! You are very cooperative!" The man in white suit was satisfied after getting seven million from Li Yunhai.

In his opinion, Li Yunhai was a mainland tourist and a profiteer who sold paintings. He would not be able to achieve much, and it was already very good that he could come up with 7 million. The man in white suit kept his word and sent his men to take Li Yunhai and the other seven people who had paid to another cabin upstairs.

This Star Ferry has two floors, and they are currently on the first floor.

Li Yunhai and the others were taken to the second floor.

There are very few people on the second floor, all of whom have just paid the ransom.

There are two gunmen guarding here.

After Li Yunhai and the others came in, they found a seat and sat down without saying a word.

Because the people on the second floor had all paid the ransom, the criminals guarding them were very relaxed, smoking and chatting.

They spoke Cantonese and talked about romantic things, such as dragon, tiger, leopard, Portland lantern, and horse racing newspaper.

Li Yunhai only knew that these were famous magazines in Hong Kong, known for their revealing photos and bold language, catering to the tastes of a large number of readers. It was said that the net income of one newspaper was more than one million Hong Kong dollars per month.

There are only two gangsters on the second floor!

As long as Li Yunhai and his team plan properly, they can completely control these two people and take the initiative on the second floor.

Chen Yao whispered: "Mr. Li, thank you!"

Li Yunhai hummed.

Chen Yao looked around and said, "Mr. Li, why are you here?"

Li Yunhai said calmly: "Aren't you here too? What's so strange about that?"

Chen Yao said: "Mr. Li, we are still in danger! These criminals are inhumane. After they have plundered the money, they may still kill people to silence them!"

This is what Li Yunhai is most worried about.

He looked out of the boat window and saw vast ocean all around. Apart from the sea there was only sky and no land at all.

From this it seems that they have long been away from Victoria Harbour.

What will happen next is no longer decided by Li Yunhai and others.

However, Li Yunhai is not an ordinary person.

He must learn to survive and fight back against the odds!

People's destiny must be in their own hands!

Li Yunhai gently touched Ding Qiang who was sitting in front of him with his foot.

Ding Qiang turned slightly, pretending to look at the scenery outside the window, and whispered, "Boss?"

Li Yunhai lowered his voice and asked, "Are you sure?"

Ding Qiang and Zhuang Yong sat together. They had been ready to make a move for a long time, but they were afraid to make a move.

After hearing what the boss said, the two of them immediately understood that the boss was trying to break through!

Ding Qiang's eyes flashed with a fierce look, and he whispered, "These two people should not be difficult to deal with."

The two robbers who were talking about the woman looked over here.

One of the tall robbers yelled, "Hey, what are you talking about?"

Another fat robber said, "Who cares what they do? They just paid the money obediently. They are just afraid of death! Even if they have the courage, they dare not cause trouble!"

The tall man said, "Yeah, you're still awesome, Boss! Robbing a ship is much safer than robbing a gold shop! Last time someone robbed a gold shop, they only sold the stolen money for over 10 million, and they were caught by the police a few days later!"

The fat man chuckled and said, "Of course, otherwise, how can he be our boss?"

The tall guy stared at Su Wan'er and Chen Yao with lustful eyes, stroking his chin and saying, "These two girls are damn hot! If I could have sex with them, it would be so cool!"

The fat man said, "When you get the money, will you still be worried about not having women? Then, you can go to Portland Street and have fun however you want! Now is not the time to mess around."

The tall man said, "Well, we two brothers will find ten prostitutes and have a good time!"

The fat man said, "I heard there are foreign girls! I wonder how they taste! Let's try some foreign food!"

The two of them laughed obscenely.

They were only concerned with talking about women and didn't care what Li Yunhai and the others were whispering about.

Ding Qiang and Zhuang Yong were discussing how to subdue the two gangsters with one strike.

It is not difficult to defeat these two gangsters.

The difficulty is that they have to defeat these two men without alerting the other criminals on the lower floor!

As long as there is a loud noise above, or even if the criminals fire a gun, the criminals below will rush up, and then it will be difficult to deal with!
Li Yunhai also knew this.

Moreover, there are so many people on the second floor. If Ding Qiang and his men suddenly attack, these people will be frightened and may scream, which will also alarm the people on the first floor.

So how we act becomes crucial.

Ding Qiang suddenly covered his stomach and cried out, "Report, my stomach hurts so badly, I need to go to the bathroom!"

The tall robber waved his hands: "Bear with it!"

Ding Qiang held his breath, his face flushed red, and said, "No, I'm about to poop! I really can't hold it any longer! If I make this place stink, don't blame me."

The tall man frowned and waved his hand: "Bear with it!"

Ding Qiang cried out "ouch, ouch", then slowly stood up.

He held his stomach with both hands, as if he really couldn't bear it, and his acting was more realistic than the real thing!
Even other tourists thought that Ding Qiang was really going to have diarrhea.

Someone spoke up for Ding Qiang: "He's already paid, so what's wrong with you letting him go to the bathroom? If he really poops here, it'll stink! We won't even sit here anymore!"

The fat robber shrugged his nose, stood up lazily, pointed at Ding Qiang and said, "Come out! I'll take you to the bathroom. Don't play tricks! The gun in my hand is not vegetarian!"

Ding Qiang bent his body and walked slowly, giving people the illusion that he had no killing power at all.

He walked up to the fat man and said, "Thank you."

The fat man took Ding Qiang and walked towards the back.

The tall man held the gun and looked at the others with a little vigilance.

They were robbers, so they were obviously afraid of any unusual movements from these people.

Zhuang Yong also followed Ding Qiang's example and shouted, "I want to go to the bathroom too."

The tall man said angrily, "Hold it! Wait until he comes back, then go!"

Zhuang Yong pretended to be exhausted, quickly stood up, bent over and said, "Please, let me go and fix it. I can't stand it anymore."

The tall man sneered, "Don't move! Sit back down! If you move again, I'll shoot!"

It's too late to say, then soon!
Just as the tall man said he was going to shoot, Zhuang Yong suddenly lunged forward and hit the man directly in the vital part with his knee.

Then he threw out a right elbow, hitting his opponent on the temple.

The tall man had no time to react. He only felt a sharp pain in his body. Then his eyes went dark and his body fell limply.

Zhuang Yong hugged him, caught the fallen gun, and slowly lowered the tall man's body to the ground.

This sudden change happened in a flash, and everyone was stunned, and even forgot to exclaim! (End of this chapter)
