Chapter 746: Guard Against All, But a Family Thief Is Hardest to Prevent

Subsequently, Lu Chuan controlled this so-called Third Brother to answer three calls from Cui Kai.

According to the plan, Cui Kai and Song Degao were responsible for collecting the money outside.

Today, in this batch, they had Tang Guojin send a total of 10 bags of cash.

Each of them took 5 bags and then returned.

The remaining cash was to be collected the next day.

The reason for this, as Third Brother said, was to delay the Tang Family.

To keep them on edge and afraid to call the police.

It also made it easier for them to transfer Tang Hao.

After interrogating these three separately, it was confirmed that the kidnappers never intended to harm Tang Hao.

They had no intention of killing.

Of course, the main reason was that neither Tang Hao nor Tang Xiaoyu had seen what these people looked like.

Although these people were not highly educated, the kidnapping plan was rather meticulously devised.

You could also say it was a surprise attack.

Lu Chuan was somewhat surprised to find that the main planner was not these five people.

It was actually Tang Guojin’s driver, Old Song.

According to their original plan, after getting half the money today, they would send Tang Hao to the Hilton Hotel at night.

Because one of the kidnappers worked at the Hilton Hotel.

He could enter the hotel through an unmonitored backdoor passage.

They would casually stash Tang Hao in an empty room, and no one would know who they were.

The last time with Tang Xiaoyu, they did the same thing.

And they had it planned out.

After bringing Tang Hao downstairs, they would drive around with him.

At that time, no one would even think that the place they were held was just behind the Hilton Hotel.

But the long arm of the law always prevails.

In the end, the kidnappers didn’t know they were exposed by the phones used to contact the Tang Family.

Also by Cui Kai’s fingerprints left on Tang Hao’s bicycle.

This was key for Lu Chuan to pinpoint the Ocean District and lock in on Cui Kai’s house.

Actually, once they identified Cui Kai’s house, Lu Chuan already had the conditions to make an arrest and rescue.

The reason they didn’t act immediately was to ensure Tang Hao’s safety 100%.

As they were interrogating over there, the money was being collected over here; two hours later, Song Degao and Cui Kai had already loaded all the 10 bags of cash into the car.

Lu Chuan set up the arrest operation at the entrance of the apartment building.

As per their agreement, they would park the car at the community entrance and then carry the travel bags upstairs one by one.

Lu Chuan set the arrest location inside the hallway of the apartment building.

This place was dimly lit and cramped, offering no escape route for the other party.

"He will be carrying travel bags weighing over 100 pounds, making his movement difficult. As soon as they open the door and come in, pin them down immediately, got it?"

"Got it!"

The four officers in charge of the arrest were all veterans.

This kind of situation was a piece of cake for them.

The first to return was Cui Kai.

When the other party huffed and puffed, lugging 5 million cash into the apartment entrance, they were immediately pinned down by the criminal police who had been hiding behind the door.

"Damn! Who are you guys..."

Who?

The four did not speak, but when the cold handcuffs were put on, Cui Kai knew it was over.

He was all too familiar with the feeling of handcuffs.

Life, for the most part, is like this.

One moment you’re in paradise, the next you might fall into hell.

Cui Kai may never have been as happy in his life as he was this afternoon.

Driving around 5 places, collecting 5 bags of cash.

Each bag filled with 5 million red bills.

That was 5 million, a number Cui Kai never dared to dream of.

And now, this money was about to be his.

With this money, Cui Kai could live well anywhere in the country.

He had even been pondering where he should go with this money.

He couldn’t stay in Haizhou City, for sure.

His intuition told him he should go south.

He had heard that the climate in the south was better, the girls were prettier, and the food was delicious.

With more than 10 million, Cui Kai felt he could be a groom every night, with a different bride every day.

The first one he wanted was that little internet celebrity he had his eye on.

Damn, calling me a pauper!

Tonight, I’ll become the top supporter for you.

With money, he could surely bed her.

And his ex-wife who ran off with someone else.

He wanted her to see what it means to disdain him yesterday, only to find him unreachable today.

The pinnacle of life was right in front of him.

As long as tonight passed, everything would begin anew.

But when Cui Kai stepped into the apartment building and was pinned to the ground, handcuffed, he realized he was done for.

He was sent back to that dark, hopeless place with no freedom.

And this time... he didn’t know if he would ever be free again.

Damn!

Cui Kai wished he could slap himself.

After kidnapping Tang Xiaoyu last time, he had already received 5 million.

If he had stopped then, he could have had the life he wanted.

Why was he so greedy?

After ambushing and capturing Cui Kai, the same four detectives prepared to ambush the next, and last, kidnapper.

Song Degao returned half an hour later than Cui Kai.

But when captured, like Cui Kai, he was dumbfounded.

How could the police be here?

Hadn’t he already got the money?

Did the Tang family report it?

But if they reported it, how could Dad not know?

As Song Degao was captured,

at the Tang Family manse.

Lu Chuan personally cuffed Old Song.

Tang Guojin looked at his driver of twenty years with a complex expression.

"Why?"

Tang Guojin thought he had treated Old Song well.

They were of similar age, grew up in the same village.

Twenty years ago, when Tang Guojin’s company was just showing promise, he hired him to drive.

Starting with a monthly salary of 200 yuan, rising to 20,000 yuan now.

What driver makes 20,000 yuan a month?

Not to mention, besides the salary, any cigars and wines given to him were all passed on to Old Song by Tang Guojin.

These could amount to hundreds of thousands a year.

He couldn’t understand how Old Song, who had been with him for 20 years, could plan the kidnapping of his daughter and son.

Why?

Old Song laughed heartily.

"We both come from the same village, and I’ve worked for you for 20 years, served like a horse for 20 years."

"And what was the result? You live in a big villa, with assets worth billions."

"And for me? Just a salary of two, three thousand a month!"

"I could only eat in the kitchen."

"And had to eat your leftovers."

"Wearing nothing but hand-me-downs!"

"When your family was too poor to eat, have you forgotten who gave you half a bun?"

"You ask why? You tell me why!"

Tang Guojin opened his mouth, wanting to speak but saying nothing.

Sure, Old Song ate leftovers, but those were untouched shark fin and abalone.

The clothes, never worn, were all new.

Tang Guojin had never forgotten the debt of that half bun back then...
