Chapter 163: The Ransom Is Only 300 Million
The evening self-study course had ended long ago, and even Lu Ding had finished his work at the factory and returned home.
However, Lu Yiming did not go home.
This has never happened before.
Seeing that it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, Ning Xuehua was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
After all, the world is still a bit chaotic now.
The two decided to go to the school to take a look first.
When they arrived at the school, they found that the school gate was closed, and the lights in the teaching building and student dormitories were all turned off. Only a few .
Ning Xuehua was somewhat at a loss when she saw this scene.
Lu Ding said, "Didn't he say he was taking extra classes at his teacher's house last semester? Maybe he's at his teacher's house now?"
"Impossible. Even if he was going to his teacher's house for extra lessons, he would have called us so late. Xiao Ming is a sensible child."
Ning Xuehua denied Lu Ding's inference, and then asked: "Maybe he went to the Internet cafe to deal with the matter?"
Lu Ding thought for a moment and said, "That's possible. Let's go and take a look."
As a result, the two of them went around the Tongxin Internet Cafe and asked a lot of people, and they all said that they hadn't seen Lu Yiming for more than half a month.
In other words, after Lu Yiming took leave to go to Hong Kong, he never went to the Internet cafe again.
This time, the two of them were completely panicked.
He was not in school, not in the Internet cafe, and not going home. Where could Lu Yiming go?
Lu Ding said: "Maybe that little bastard has gone back now, let's go back first."
"Okay, since you don't answer the phone, I must have a good talk with him later." Ning Xuehua was anxious and angry.
When she got home, she found that Lu Yiming still hadn't come back. Ning Xuehua was immediately at a loss, crying and saying to Lu Ding, "Let's call the police."
Just at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and both of them were startled.
Ning Xuehua shouted: "It must be my son who has returned. "
She rushed to open the door, but there was no one outside. She only saw a very large letter on the ground, which was pressed down by a palm-sized stone and was illuminated by the street light at the door.
Ning Xuehua suddenly had a bad feeling when she saw the envelope.
Sure enough, I opened the envelope and took a look.
Inside the letter, words cut from newspapers spelled out: "Your son is in my hands now. Prepare 300 million yuan and deposit it into my designated account before noon tomorrow. I will release your son after I get the money. If I still don't see the money by the time, I will kill him."
After Ning Xuehua finished reading the contents in her mind, she suddenly felt dizzy, her vision went dark, and she fell backwards.
Lu Ding, who was standing next to him, was quick to hold Ning Xuehua in his arms.
Lu Ding pinched Ning Xuehua's Ren Zhong and performed artificial respiration for a long time before she woke up.
Seeing Lu Ding, Ning Xuehua burst into tears: "Our son has been kidnapped... The kidnappers want a ransom of 300 million..."
"What? Three hundred million?"
Hearing this number, Lu Ding felt incredible: "Why would they want 300 million? This is too much. Even if Dingyuan is sold, it won't fetch that much money."
Now, Dingyuan Mould Factory is basically just an empty shell, with only tens of thousands of yuan on the books, and hundreds of thousands of yuan of goods have not been paid. Not to mention 300 million, even 3 million is hard to collect.
After thinking about it, Lu Ding felt that there was no other way, so he made up his mind and said, "Let's call the police."
Ning Xuehua screamed when she heard this: "We can't call the police! We can't call the police! What if the kidnappers kill us? We only have this one son!"
"Then what should we do? Where can we find three hundred million by tomorrow noon? We can't even borrow it from loan sharks." Lu Ding's face was full of worry.
At this moment, the phone rang again. Lu Ding said, "I'll answer it."
He picked up the receiver.
"Hello?"
Li Yiwen's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Uncle, are you still awake?"
When Lu Ding heard Li Yiwen's voice, he relaxed immediately and said, "It's Xiaowen. Why are you calling so late? What's the matter?"
Li Yiwen asked: "I called Xiao Ming several times just now, why can't I get through?"
Lu Ding said in a deep voice: "Xiao Ming has been kidnapped!"
"ah?"
On the other end of the phone, Li Yiwen was so shocked that he almost dropped his phone.
"When did it happen?"
Lu Ding, who didn't dare to call the police, could only tell Li Yiwen the truth. After all, for such a big matter, he had to find someone he could trust to discuss it with: "Just now, the kidnappers sent a letter, saying that they wanted a ransom of 300 million yuan, and the transaction would be completed at noon tomorrow. How can we get 300 million yuan in such a short time?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yiwen heaved a sigh of relief: "It's only 300 million. If the robbers release the prisoners after getting the money, then this matter can be easily resolved. I'm just afraid that the robbers are so vicious that they won't release the prisoners even after getting the money."
Lu Ding didn't know what to say for a moment, his mind was buzzing: "Three hundred million, that's all? Do you know what you are talking about?"
Li Yiwen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Uncle, don't you know how much money Xiao Ming has now?"
Lu Ding felt that his three views seemed to be shaken.
"How much? Could it be over 100 million?"
Li Yiwen finally understood that Lu Yiming really hadn't told his uncle and aunt, so he could only explain quietly: "More than that. Let me calculate for you. First of all, he owns 89% of the shares of Tongxin Internet Cafe. It is currently worth about 50 million. Of course, most of it is fixed assets, and there is not much left after deducting liabilities."
"Afterwards, he used the pre-deposit of Internet cafe members to short the ruble, and made a net profit of more than 500 million yuan. This is cash assets."
"Then just this past month, I participated in the battle to defend Hong Kong and acquired a fund company in full. I didn't spend a penny when I bought it. Now the market value is about 300 million. I also took a large number of short orders for Hang Seng Index futures, making 2.28 billion. Afterwards, I shared 876 million with investors. In addition, I paid 280 million in commissions, a total of about 1.156 billion, which is also cash assets."
After hearing this, Lu Ding and his wife were stunned. Wasn't their son still in high school? How did he suddenly become a billionaire?
Ning Xuehua quickly came to her senses and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Since you have the money, just pay the ransom and redeem your son."
Li Yiwen also felt that Lu Yiming's safety was the most important thing at the moment, so he said, "Well, don't worry about the money. The most urgent task now is to confirm Xiaoming's safety first."
At this moment, Lu Ding's cell phone rang, and Lu Ding said, "I'll take the call first."
I heard that Lu Yiming was rich and there was no need to worry about the ransom. Lu Ding felt a lot more relaxed now.
He thought the call was also from the kidnappers, but when he listened, he found out it was from the police station.
"What? My son is in the police station right now? Okay, okay, we'll take him home right away."
Lu Ding said to Li Yiwen on the phone: "Xiao Ming is back."
Then, without waiting for Li Yiwen to speak, he hung up the phone and rushed out of the house impatiently with Ning Xuehua.
