The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

"15 billion?"

Ding Xin was so angry he laughed, but he still patiently said, "15 billion is too much. And President Wan, we have to be reasonable. You keep saying my brother caused you losses, but who told you to kidnap my brother's woman first?"

"Director Ding, get this straight, we didn't kidnap that woman..."

Wan Shi's tone was slightly sarcastic, and his voice grew louder.

"And also, Director Ding, you be the judge. Go ask your brother if he received any money after his woman disappeared."

"Besides, I heard that they already agreed to let your brother's woman go, as long as he returns the money they took..."

"But your brother didn't even think about getting a refund..."

Upon hearing this, Ding Xin subconsciously glanced at Jiang Dongzhe in front of him.

correct.

There seems to be such a scene in the movie.

That guy named Qi Tai is also a talent.

After kidnapping any woman he fancied, he would always give her family a generous gift.

It's euphemistically called a "transaction."

Indeed, many victims' families were bribed by this money.

Choose to settle things peacefully.

Similarly, Jiang Dongzhe also received the money.

However, he made a mistake: he took the money to the police station to report the crime...

Then, in order to get the money back and exchange it for Kim Ji-soo, he even caused a scene at the local police station.

But then again.

Even if that bastard Qi Tai gets the money back, he'll never let Jiang Dongzhe's wife go...

Xiba!

How the hell did this happen?

They've even become so self-righteous about kidnapping people?

Ding Xin felt he had lost his mind, actually analyzing the matter seriously.

He's running out of patience.

"President Wan, do you mean you're not going to release them?"

"Oh my god, Executive Director Ding, what are you saying? 15 billion is their demand; I'm just a middleman at best..."

Wan Shi calmly explained.

Ding Xin ignored his nonsense.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone chilling, and said, word by word, "I'll ask you one more time, are you unwilling to release them?"

Wan Shi, on the other end of the phone, also sensed the threat in Ding Xin's words.

He retorted firmly, "I'll say it again, I didn't kidnap them, so how can I release them? I'm just a middleman. I've already told you their demands: 15 billion, not a penny less!"

There was a pause.

The other person continued, "Okay, that's all for now. I'm very busy here. Director Ding, you and your brother should discuss it. I'll hang up now!"

After saying that, the call was immediately disconnected.

"Damn it!"

Ding Xin tossed his busy signal phone onto the table.

"That's fucking asking for it!"

It's been a long time since anyone has dared to be so arrogant with him.

"Big brother..."

"Executive Director..."

"..."

Ding Xin waved his hand, signaling them to be quiet for the moment.

All of a sudden.

You could hear a pin drop in the office.

It was so quiet you could hear everyone breathing.

Jiang Dongzhe was still kneeling on the ground, his clenched fists revealing his resentment.

I was both angry and helpless.

What angered me was the shamelessness of the person on the other end of the phone.

Unfortunately, even if he had the strength, he now had nowhere to use it...

Ding Xin sat up straight, flipped through the documents in his hand, and asked the gasoline bottle next to him, "Where is that bastard Wan Shi's hideout?"

"this..."

Gasoline cautiously replied, "Executive Director, those guys are hiding quite well..."

"Ok?"

Ding Xin gave him a cold glance.

Gasoline felt a pang of fear, but decisively replied, "I need some time..."

"how long?"

This time, the gasoline supplier didn't rush to answer. Instead, it hesitated for a moment before saying, "It will take at least a day..."

Ding Xin glanced at his wristwatch.

It is exactly 1 p.m.

"I'm giving you eight hours. I need to know where that bastard Wan Shi is by 9 PM tonight. Any problems?"

The voice just fell.

Gasoline instinctively wanted to try and get some.

But when he saw Ding Xin's expressionless face, he only uttered three words.

"no problem!"

Ding Xin nodded and picked up his phone from the table again.

I dialed Wan Shi's number...

......

the other side.

"Damn it, he actually dares to threaten me? He's really pushing his luck..."

After hanging up the phone, Wan Shi subconsciously muttered a curse under his breath.

"Brother Wan Shi, how is he?"

Seeing that he had finished his call, Qi Tai couldn't wait to go up and ask.

He only cares about one thing now: whether Ding Xin is willing to pay the ransom.

To know.

He himself suffered a considerable loss this time.

Although it's not as much as 15 billion, the foundation is gone, and when you think about it again, the manpower and resources spent will be considerable.

"How about it?"

Qi Tai said with a sneer, "This Mr. Ding from the Kinmen Group thinks he can just ask us to release people without any explanation? Does he really think we're doing charity?"

One or two of them are like this, including the pawnshop uncle from before.

I don't know his background. Although he's quite skilled, he's just a brute.

They even had the audacity to demand that he hand over the person.

He used a simple trick to make that kid a cannon fodder and get him into the trap.

Even if they haven't been caught by the police yet, they're probably busy hiding and running away right now...

"Brother Wanshi, do you mean they refuse to pay?"

Qi Tai couldn't hide his disappointment; he was counting on this money to recoup his losses.

"That Ding Xin is no pushover. Are we asking for too much?"

"What's the rush? Just wait for the call..."

Wan Shi said this in an annoyed tone.

"They're wealthy and powerful now, they don't care about such a small amount of money, they're just too embarrassed to spend it right now..."
