Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 207 Rescue Operation (We're almost out of food, please subscribe)
When it comes to tracking and eavesdropping, Bao Wenlong is definitely a professional.

Because they had anticipated this would happen, both Qiu Rongrong and Gao Jin had tracking devices on them.

In addition to the locator, Gao Jin also had two listening devices on him.

The Qiu family was in complete chaos in the huge villa.

Those present included Qiu Degen, his wife Meng Nan, Qiu Yun, the eldest son of the Qiu family, and another person who was said to be the son of a prominent family.

Then there are Li Jiayuan and Bao Wenlong.

The moment Gao Jin and Qiu Rongrong were arrested, Li Jiayuan received the news. Gao Jin activated the tracking device on his body, which he would only use in dangerous situations where he was unable to handle the situation independently.

Li Jiayuan was not worried at all. The fact that Gao Jin could still communicate with them in Morse code meant there was no problem.

The reason we haven't taken action yet is because the locator can't track Gao Jin's whereabouts. There's nothing we can do; our technology is too outdated. This is the latest version of the locator.

It won't be blocked, but the signal can only be tracked under stable conditions. If the target's location moves rapidly, it will be impossible to track.

"Uncle, should we call the police?"

In the quiet hall, Zheng Youwei paced anxiously back and forth; he hadn't had a moment of peace for most of the day.

When the topic of calling the police came up, Qiu Degen immediately looked at Li Jiayuan, who promptly said:

“I think it’s better not to call the police. The fact that the kidnappers haven’t made a call means that Qiu Rongrong must be safe. Let’s see what their demands are first. Besides, my people should be with them too.”

If there is any danger, he will definitely protect Miss Qiu.

Li Jiayuan was quite curious about who exactly kidnapped Qiu Rongrong. Throughout Hong Kong's history, there have been too many big shots involved in kidnapping, and the scope of this case is too broad, as it also involves the worldview of the film.

Finding out who did it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but once the culprit is caught, the truth will become clear.

“Your people, ha, if your people were useful, Rongrong wouldn’t have been arrested. Uncle, you should listen to me. Call the police first. I’ve already contacted Zhilian Security in Taiwan. Their boss is an old acquaintance of mine.”

"They're on their way now. As soon as they arrive, we'll set off immediately to rescue Rongrong."

Li Jiayuan: “.”

Zhilian Security, isn't that Jiang Yun's security company? It's not surprising that this guy knows Jiang Yun. The upper-class circle is only so big, it's perfectly normal for these young people to know each other.

Qiu Degen was caught in a dilemma, while Li Jiayuan simply remained silent. He was only there to help, and whether the Qiu family believed him or this kid was none of his business.

Qiu Degen's wife, Meng Nan, held Zheng Youwei's hand and wiped away her tears repeatedly.

"Because you and Rongrong have been close since childhood, you must rescue her safely."

"Don't worry, Auntie, I will make sure Rongrong gets back safely."

"Jingle Bell"

Just then, the phone on the table, which the driver had left there, rang. Before Zhang Ziqiang and the others abandoned the driver, they had given him the phone number of one of their older brothers for contact purposes.

Qiu Degen quickly took the phone, his suppressed voice carrying an almost imperceptible anger.

"Hello~"

With the hands-free connection turned on, Zhang Ziqiang's voice came through the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Qiu, how are you? Have you had dinner yet?"

Qiu Degen suppressed his anger.

"What do you want? Release my daughter, and I'll give you whatever money you want."

"Tsk tsk, smart person, I like talking to smart people."

On the other end of the phone, Cheung Tze-keung was squatting under a big tree, smoking and talking on the phone.

Inside the villa

"How much do you want?"

"Mr. Qiu, we need HK$1 billion in paper money, not consecutive numbers. The transaction will take place tomorrow. We'll let you know the details of the transaction later. This amount shouldn't be a problem for you, Mr. Qiu, right?"

"One billion!"

Qiu Degen's hand trembled, and his phone almost slipped from his hand.

These kidnappers are demanding a staggering HK$1 billion. They might have that much, but if they were to access that much cash in a single day, the entire banking system in Hong Kong would likely be paralyzed. Even if they found red, white, and blue bags to pack HK$1 billion, they'd have to divide it into five or six separate containers.

Despite his reluctance, Qiu Degen gritted his teeth and nodded for his daughter's safety.

"Okay, wait for my notification."

The call ended quickly, and Li Jiayuan hurriedly asked...

"Ah Long, have you found out?"

"We found Brother Yuan. The last signal from the phone tracking was on Peak Road, but our locator tracking location is in Yuen Long."

"."

"They're quite clever; they know to switch from slingshots to cannons and change positions."

"Uncle, my men will be here in two hours. We'll go rescue them as soon as they arrive."

Li Jiayuan rolled his eyes. This young master was really talking without any real experience; he probably hadn't even seen what a real gunfight looked like.

"Once they arrive, what are your plans to do to rescue them? Rush in and take them? Do you know how many of them there are? Do you know how many guns they have? What if they take hostages to threaten you?"

This series of questions left the young master speechless, his face flushed red, unable to utter a word.

"My people are all professionals; they will naturally rescue the person."

"."

Not to mention Li Jiayuan, even Qiu Degen thought it was unreliable. As someone with a background in the underworld, Li Jiayuan would definitely be more familiar with this kind of thing. Judging from how professional his assistant was, he was definitely more reliable than Zheng Youwei.

He didn't dare entrust such an important matter to Zheng Youwei, because if something went wrong, his daughter would be in danger.

"Ah Yuan, are you confident you can rescue Rongrong? I can come up with a billion. If the risk is too great, I'd rather give the money. Rongrong can't be in any danger."

"Don't worry, Uncle Qiu, I'm 80% confident I can bring him out safely, if you're comfortable with that."

Seeing Li Jiayuan's unwavering determination, Qiu Degen immediately made the decision to entrust the rescue to him.

Zheng Youwei, standing to the side, clenched his fists, feeling that he had been slighted.

"Uncle, it's me."

Qiu Degen raised his hand to interrupt him.

"That `s a deal."

Seeing that there was no way to change the situation, Zheng Youwei made another harsh statement to Li Jiayuan.

"If anything happens to Rongrong, I will hold you responsible."

"."

Where did this idiot come from?

"Why don't you come? You're so awesome, you can trade yourself to them. I'm sure they'd be happy to do it. Do you dare?"

"cut."

Zheng Youwei was furious at Li Jiayuan's contemptuous tone.

"Brother Yuan, Gao Jin sent a message."

At that moment, Bao Wenlong heard a "dong dong" sound from the receiver, the prelude to the start of Morse code. He quickly took out a pen and wrote down the frequency band.

The Morse code was no challenge for Bao Wenlong, a former police officer. Not only him, but Lai Fu and the others also knew it.

This is Morse code!

Qiu Degen was secretly shocked, and his trust in Li Jiayuan and his team increased even more. With such professional communication skills, they must be just as good in other aspects as well.

Soon, Bao Wenlong translated the band into English, and then into Chinese.
