After Mad Dragon was released from prison, I shocked the world!

"Since these people investigated me, they must know that there are other people around me."

Fearing the kidnappers were using a diversionary tactic, Lin Li immediately said, "Du Yu, take two men and go find Wan Qing right now to protect her secretly!"

"Gong Kun, go to Chujian Culture and protect Su Qian!"

"As for Ban Hong, send him to the First Municipal Hospital to protect Bai Nian'an!"

"You are not allowed to leave their side without my order!"

Du Yu and Gong Kun's expressions tightened: "Yes, boss!"

After the two men left, Lin Li immediately picked up the landline on the table and called the company's financial director.

"Go to the bank immediately and withdraw ten million in cash!"

"Chairman Lin..."

The CFO was stunned by this outrageous request: "This is a large withdrawal! Without prior appointment, the bank won't be able to complete the process until tomorrow at the earliest!"

"To hell with the procedures, just bring up everything you can!"

Lin Li cursed and hung up the phone.

Ten million in cash is no small sum, and it's impossible to raise it within two hours through conventional channels!

After thinking for a moment, Lin Li dialed Su Qian's number.

"Su Qian, immediately withdraw three million yuan in cash from Chujian Culture's account, the sooner the better!"

Su Qian sensed something was off about his tone, but didn't ask anything: "Okay, give me forty minutes!"

Then, Lin Li called Lao Huang.

"Old Huang, bring me all the cash from your place! I'll pay you back double tomorrow!"

Old Huang was startled, but dared not refuse: "Young Master Lin! The club just closed up its cash reserves last night, about four million yuan in cash. I'll have someone deliver it over immediately!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Li called Zhang Xiaotian and Zhang Xiaoqin into his office.

"You two, go to Chujian Culture and Wushuang Dog Farm immediately to collect the money, and you must return it to the building within one hour!"

"Yes, Master!"

Seeing Lin Li's grim expression, the two siblings went to carry out their tasks without saying a word.

Having arranged everything, Lin Li suppressed his anxiety and waited patiently.

He couldn't ask Lei Hu for money; if Lei Hu found out, he would definitely send someone to Shajiang.

He couldn't gamble with Lei Xiangqing's life.

An hour and a half later.

Lin Li drove his Audi Q5 at breakneck speed all the way to the highway outside the white sand beach of Shajiang.

He got out of the car and pulled a huge 32-inch black suitcase out of the trunk.

Ten million yuan in cash, weighing over one hundred kilograms.

Lin Li carried his suitcase in one hand and strode towards the riverbank.

The beach was deserted, with hardly anyone around except for a man wearing a jacket and a baseball cap.

Just as the two brushed past each other, the man in the jacket suddenly reached out and tried to touch the black suitcase in Lin Li's hand.

"roll!"

Lin Li raised his leg and kicked.

boom!

The man in the jacket was kicked five or six meters away and rolled several times on the beach before coming to a stop.

Lin Li was too lazy to deal with these lowly scouts. He looked at the cruise ship docked at the shore and dialed Lei Xiangqing's number: "I've arrived, and I've brought the money."

"Release them!"

"Get on board!"

On the second deck of the cruise ship, a man wearing black sunglasses and a black vest came out and waved to Lin Li.

The man in the jacket who had just been kicked away by Lin Li got up.

He clutched his stomach, gasping for breath in pain, glared fiercely at Lin Li, and followed closely behind him.

Lin Li, expressionless, stepped onto a wooden plank draped over the shore and strode onto the deck of the cruise ship.

Rumble.

After the two of them boarded the ship, the cruise ship's diesel engine roared loudly, the hull jolted violently, and it began to slowly move towards the center of the river.

Lin Li walked up the iron stairs to the second deck and threw his suitcase onto the iron plate with a bang.

The iron door to the cabin was pushed open from the inside, and three more men came out.

The leader was a burly man wearing camouflage pants and a black bandit hood that only revealed his eyes and mouth.

The other two men also had their faces covered with black cloths and were carrying steel pipes and Mitsubishi military daggers.

"I brought the money, let's count it."

Lin Li stood still, his hands in his trench coat pockets.

The man in the lead gestured with his chin toward the person next to him, who immediately ran over and unzipped the suitcase.

Whoosh!

A whole box full of bright red 100-yuan bills was revealed.

He casually pulled out a few stacks, flipped through them, and nodded to the man in the lead: "Brother Ping, it's real, the quantity is fine."

"Boss Lin is indeed a straightforward person!"

Ping sneered, "It's good to be rich. For a woman, he doesn't even bat an eye at ten million."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Lin Li's eyes sharpened. "You took the money, but where are they?"

"What's the rush?"

Ping clapped his hands.

A thin man emerged from the cabin, his hand tightly gripping a woman.

It was Lei Xiangqing!

She was bound hand and foot with nylon rope, her mouth was stuffed with a rag, and her clothes were soaked through by the river water and clung tightly to her body.

The thin man was holding a sharp dagger, the blade pressed against Lei Xiangqing's neck.

With just a little force, her main artery could be severed.

“Wuwu!”

Lei Xiangqing's eyes instantly reddened when she saw Lin Li.

Lin Li looked at the bruises on Lei Xiangqing's face, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"I'm warning you, you'd better not move."

Ping Ge was clearly a seasoned veteran, and he sneered, "I know you're good at fighting, but your woman is in our hands."

Lin Li looked at him coldly: "Since you know who I am, you still dare to touch my people?"

"Brothers, aren't you trying to make a big profit?"

Ping shrugged indifferently, "Young Master Lin, your skills are too good. We brothers are not confident in our abilities."

As they were talking, someone threw a very thick bundle of hemp rope at Lin Li's feet.

"For everyone's safety, please bear with me for a moment."

Ping pointed to the hemp rope and laughed, "Tie your hands and feet yourself."

“Wuwu!”

Before Lin Li could speak, Lei Xiangqing suddenly began to struggle, shaking her head violently, "Waaah!"

"Don't move!"

The thin man was startled and raised his dagger, intending to stab Lei Xiangqing.

"Don't move!"

Lin Li looked at the thin man and said coldly, "If you dare touch her, I guarantee you'll regret it."

The skinny man felt a chill run down his spine under Lin Li's gaze and couldn't help but glance at Brother Ping.

"Shut the fuck up!"

Ping Ge roared, "Tie her up or not?! If you don't, I'll kill her right now!"

"I'll tie you up."

Lin Li didn't do it himself, but looked at the man in the jacket standing behind him.

"Let him come."

The man in the jacket had been kicked by Lin Li on the beach and was looking forward to getting revenge, so he immediately picked up the rope and walked behind Lin Li.

"Damn it! Did you enjoy kicking me just now?!"

After he tied Lin Li's hands tightly, he suddenly let out a strange laugh and kicked Lin Li hard in the back of the knee.

"Kneel down before me!"
