Chapter 743: Finalizing the Plan and Launching the Arrest

Tang Guojin’s attitude was a bit firmer.

This was intentionally instructed by Lu Chuan.

At this moment, it was exactly when the kidnappers were most anxious to get the money.

So the other party would not refuse some of Tang Guojin’s demands.

Before the transaction, confirming the safety of the kidnapped person is a necessary step.

"Didn’t we just see them?"

"No, I want a video now, or you won’t get a single penny!"

"Okay, okay, wait!"

A minute later, the video connected.

"Dad!"

Although Tang Hao was wearing a hood, Tang Guojin recognized it was indeed his son right away.

"Xiao Hao..."

"Did they hit you?"

"No, Dad, I’m fine."

Tang Hao really regretted it.

The last time he saw Lu Chuan, why didn’t he think of involving the police?

Now it’s come to this, and he’s been kidnapped.

Tang Guojin still wanted to say something, but the other party directly cut off the video.

"Alright, now follow the location we specified, send the money over, and just like last time, after delivering the money, your person should leave, got it?"

After the call ended, the other party gave ten addresses.

Criminal Investigation Team.

"Should we set up an ambush in advance?"

Chen Jiang asked eagerly.

With ten addresses, Lu Chuan had them when the kidnappers contacted Tang Guojin.

The current issue is whether to set up an ambush at these addresses.

Some of these addresses are the same as where they collected the ransom after kidnapping Tang Xiaoyu last time.

But some are different.

Like Old Street.

Maybe something went wrong last time, so they didn’t choose Old Street this time.

Lu Chuan can now act in two ways.

First, strike directly at the heart.

Head to Ocean District, and after the kidnappers come out to pick up the money, directly rescue Tang Hao.

Second, simultaneously send people to ambush the kidnappers at the locations where Tang Guojin is supposed to deliver the money.

"I don’t suggest setting up an ambush at the money delivery locations."

Wang Zhaokai had a different idea.

"Firstly, the kidnappers have agreed to Tang Guojin’s request to send someone to deliver the money."

"In this case, our people can pretend to be the ones delivering the money and go directly to the delivery locations."

"But based on how the kidnappers collected the money last time, it’s unlikely they will meet us, and no one knows which of the ten locations they’ll go to first."

"According to Old Street, where Er Ma picked up the ransom, the time it takes for them to collect the money could be quite prolonged."

"My suggestion is to focus on monitoring Ocean District. As soon as someone from their side leaves to collect the money, the forces guarding Tang Hao there will surely be weak, and our primary goal is to rescue Tang Hao."

"Ensure Tang Hao’s safety, then make arrests!"

After listening to Wang Zhaokai, Lu Chuan asked the others, "Anyone else got thoughts?"

"Let me say something."

Sun Biao straightened up: "I basically agree with Old Wang’s plan."

"However, there’s one thing we need to consider carefully."

"The kidnappers being able to know the movements of Tang Guojin’s family suggests they have someone monitoring them in the community."

"So far, we still don’t know who their inside informer actually is."

"Nor do we know to what extent this person understands Tang Guojin’s family."

"Therefore, I don’t suggest we rashly send officers to replace Tang Guojin’s people in delivering the money."

"After all, from a reasonable emotional perspective, the person who can help Tang Guojin deliver the money must have very close ties with the other party."

"It could be Tang Guojin’s relative, or his secretary, or some other specific personnel."

"If the informer is someone from Tang Guojin’s family, who knows them well and recognizes these people, there’s a risk of exposure if we suddenly send a stranger to deliver the money on Tang Guojin’s behalf."

"So, my suggestion is, keep a close watch on Ocean District."

"As for the money, anyway, it’s not going to disappear."

"And even if it did, Tang Guojin wouldn’t mind."

"My suggestion is, only when someone starts collecting the money and the guard force is weak, do we begin rescuing Tang Hao. For the rest, once we catch one person, the others won’t escape."

After listening to Sun Biao’s analysis, Lu Chuan nodded, acknowledging his points.

In this entire case, the most critical part is actually Tang Hao’s personal safety.

As long as Tang Hao’s safety is ensured, the remaining matters are minor details.

Moreover, whether it’s Sun Biao’s analysis or Wang Zhaokai and Chen Jiang’s suggestions.

The biggest advantage for the police is that the kidnappers currently do not know that Tang Guojin’s family has reported to the police.

The enemy is in the open, while we’re in the dark; this is what Lu Chuan and others rely on the most.

The other side doesn’t even know that Lu Chuan has locked in the specific location of this group through fingerprints on a bicycle.

And through various channels, they’ve basically confirmed that Tang Hao is being held in Building 2 of Ocean District at Cui Kai’s home.

The reason the rescue operation hasn’t started until now is to wait for the other side to lower their guard.

Based on the current information, there are five people in total at Cui Kai’s place.

Currently, nobody knows what’s going on in the room, whether the other side has guns or other powerful weapons is unknown as well.

So rescuing people rashly now carries a high risk.

This is also why Lu Chuan wants Tang Guojin to continue raising cash to trade with the other party.

As soon as the other side lowers their guard and comes out of the house to collect the money, the best time for Lu Chuan and the others to act is when the defense is weak afterward.

Meanwhile, they can’t let those collecting the money go unchecked either.

"Let’s layout a plan."

"First, let Tang Guojin handle sending the money himself, with our people not impersonating, not getting involved, and not managing anything."

Since the police’s biggest advantage is that the kidnappers do not know that Tang Guojin’s family has reported to the police, Lu Chuan is sure to expand this advantage.

To avoid alerting the enemy, the police have not sent anyone to enter the community where Tang Guojin resides.

Nor have they investigated the people around Tang Guojin.

So as of now, Lu Chuan and others do not know who the informant inside is.

In that case, let Tang Guojin think of a way to handle sending the money himself.

What must be ensured is that the kidnappers do not find out that Tang Guojin has already called the police.

"Second, Ocean District will be the key focus."

"I will personally lead the elite team to ambush around Ocean District. As soon as the kidnappers send someone to collect the money, we’ll seize the opportunity to initiate the rescue operation based on the on-site situation."

"Additionally," Lu Chuan looked toward Chen Jiang: "First squad, Chen Jiang, personally lead the team and track the kidnappers leaving Ocean District to collect the money."

"Your task is simple, just track them without letting them find out."

"Wait for our news on this side; once Tang Hao is successfully rescued, take action immediately and attempt a capture on your side!"

"Yes!"

With deployments completed, all that’s left is to wait.

At Tang Guojin’s house, they called in Li Manyu’s nephew, Li Qing.
