In Tokyo, a criminal

Chapter 336 I Know How High the Mound of Soil on Your Grave Is
On April 11, the weather was cloudy.

Dark clouds covered the sky, as if a heavy rain was about to come. Gusts of damp and cold wind blew, rustling the treetops.

At 8:40 in the morning, after finishing his breakfast, Higashino Gen got into his bulletproof car and was driven slowly out of the villa gate by the driver towards the company.

Sitting in the back seat with his legs crossed, Higashino Xuan glanced at the gloomy sky through the car window, frowned in annoyance, and picked up a newspaper.

The car drove for about 10 minutes, and as the driver stepped on the brakes, the speed gradually slowed down.

Finally stopped in the middle of the road.

"Why did you stop the car suddenly?" Dongye Xuan pulled open the small partition between the front and back rows and asked unhappily.

The driver pointed through the windshield at a van parked in the middle of the road ahead and said, "Boss, that van seems to be broken down. I'll go ask what's going on."

It was a silver van with its rear facing them. The car was not completely parked, so they could see the hood was open and someone was repairing the car.

"As soon as possible." Dongye Xuan looked at his watch. He had a meeting this morning and couldn't be delayed.

"Hi!" The driver nodded slightly, then opened the door and walked towards the van. He had been servile in front of Higashino Gen before, but now he was arrogant. He kicked the back of the van and said impatiently, "Hey, hey, hey, what's going on? Move this broken car out of the way! It's blocking my boss's way!"

However, the man who was repairing the car in front of the car seemed not to hear what he said, or was too lazy to pay attention. He simply ignored him and continued to do his own thing.

"Baka!" Being ignored, the driver became angry and walked towards the front of the car, cursing, "Are you deaf, damn guy..."

Suddenly, his voice stopped, because he could see the mechanic clearly, who was wearing a mask and a hat that covered his face tightly.

The driver realized something was wrong instantly.

But before he could react, the mechanic put down the wrench, pulled out a gun and pointed it at his head.

"Ah! Don't... don't kill me! Don't!"

Looking at the black muzzle of the gun, the driver was suddenly shocked. He raised his hands with a pale face and begged for mercy.

After controlling the driver, the door of the van opened instantly, and four men with slicked-back hair covering their faces rushed down, holding guns and heading straight for Higashino Gen's car.

Higashino Xuan, who had been paying attention to the situation ahead, was horrified when he saw this. He quickly pressed a button to lock the car door, then took out his phone and quickly called the police, "110, I've been kidnapped..."

Suddenly, he opened his mouth and stopped making any sound.

Because the man with the slicked-back hair had already stuck a remote-controlled bomb on the car window and was waving a small remote control at him, with his finger as if he was about to press it.

"Sir! Sir, are you okay? Tell me where you are now! Sir? Sir, can you hear me?" The policeman who answered the phone asked repeatedly.

"No...it's okay." Dongye Xuan said dryly, then hung up the phone, because he might have been killed in the explosion before the police arrived.

The man with the slicked back hair shook the remote control, then waved to Higashino Xuan through the car window, "Please get out of the car."

Dongye Xuan took a deep breath, forced himself to stay calm, then pushed open the car door. Before he was ready to step out, he was forcibly dragged out and pushed into the van.

"Don't do this, don't do this. You are just asking for money. I am willing to cooperate. After all, money is definitely not as important as my life. I will leave on my own."

Higashino Xuan struggled to speak calmly.

"Yo, you are not afraid of danger, you really deserve to be a big boss." The man with the slicked-back hair laughed, walked up to Dong Yexuan, put his hand on his shoulder, leaned his forehead against his, and said, "The economic situation is not good this year. A rich man like you should not mind helping us poor guys. I calculated your net worth, and asking you for 1 million US dollars is not too much, right?"

"I want to ask you, do you know how high one hundred million US dollars stacked up is?" Dong Ye Xuan couldn't help but sneered.

Even if he does have money, it is not easy to come up with 1 million US dollars in cash in a short period of time.

"Pa!" The man with the slicked-back hair raised his hand and slapped him on the face, grabbing his already sparse hair and saying coldly: "Bagayalu, I don't know how high a pile of 100 million US dollars is, but if you dare to be so arrogant and say sarcastic words again, then I will know how high the dirt on your grave is!"

Listening to the naked threat and feeling the burning pain on his face, Dongye Xuan felt aggrieved and helpless.

It's really like a tiger being bullied by a dog!

"Take him away." The man with the slicked-back hair waved his hand and then walked to the driver who was controlled by Nobi Kura Ken.

The driver said with a sad face: "Brother, I am just a driver. I have no money. It is useless for you to kidnap me. It will be an extra mouth to feed, really."

"I fucking know you don't have any money." The slicked-back haired man grabbed his ear and said, "Go back and tell Dong Ye Jiecheng that if he doesn't want his father to die, raise $1 million in three days and wait for my call. Don't call the police. We only want money, but if he wants our lives, we'll take his father's life."

"Hi! Hi! Hi!" The driver didn't expect that he could really escape the disaster. He nodded repeatedly in ecstasy.

The guy with the slicked back hair kicked him and said, "Get lost!"

The driver hurriedly bent over and ran, not even daring to drive the car, and ran towards the Higashino family.

"Retreat." The man with the slicked-back hair gave the order.

Several people quickly got into the van and drove away.

....................................

The driver ran all the way home.

When he arrived, Dongye Jiecheng, who had just returned in the early morning after a night of romance, was still sleeping soundly.

“Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang!”

The driver rushed to the bedroom, opened his mouth to speak but no words came out. He ran so fast that he couldn't even catch his breath, so he could only raise his hand and knock hard on the bedroom door.

"Bagayalu! Who is this? What are you doing?"

Dongye Jiecheng angrily opened the bedroom door with a bang, glared at the driver fiercely, and said breathlessly: "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation!"

"Boss... Boss... Boss has been kidnapped!" the driver panted. Dong Yejie's morning mood disappeared instantly. He was stunned for a moment, then he widened his eyes and asked, "What...what did you say?"

He wondered if he hadn't woken up yet.

"The boss has been kidnapped!" The driver had recovered completely by now, and spoke clearly and fluently about what happened. "We had just left the house when we encountered a group of armed robbers. They used a bomb to force the boss to get out of the car and kidnapped him. They asked me to come back and bring you a message. They want 100 million US dollars. You have three days to raise the money. They will contact you after three days. If you dare to call the police, they will take the boss's life."

"How could this happen! What should I do? What should I do now?" Dongye Jiecheng himself is a college student who only knows how to eat, drink, gamble and have sex, and has accomplished nothing.

In the past, no matter what happened, his father was always there to help him. If he had any trouble, someone would take the initiative to solve it for him, so he basically didn't have to think for himself.

So now that he learned that his father was in an accident, he instantly panicked, lost his composure, and didn't know what to do, so much so that he subconsciously asked the driver in front of him for advice.

I'm just a driver! Damn! Why the hell are you looking at me when you can't make your own decisions? Damn! Still looking at me!
"Calm down." The driver was a little overwhelmed, but he had been with Higashino Gen for so long and was deeply trusted by him. He was no ordinary person, so he bit the bullet and offered his opinion based on his own insights. "The most urgent thing is to prevent the news of the boss being kidnapped from spreading. First, it will affect the stock price, and second, it will make the company panic. Some restless guys may take the opportunity to stir up trouble."

He had some understanding of the internal situation of Tono Construction Co., Ltd. and knew that it was not a monolithic entity.

"Yes, yes, yes, my dad said that there are many people in the company who disobey him and have ulterior motives. These damn bastards." Dongye Jiecheng nodded repeatedly.

The driver sighed inwardly, thinking that his young master was a hopeless case. Even at this point, the focus was still on this. However, the boss was very kind to him, so he added, "I am not very knowledgeable and can only think of these. As for other arrangements, let Mr. Mikami make the decision. He is the boss's most trusted arm, and he is much wiser than me."

Masashige Mikami, a member of the board of directors of Higashino Construction Co., Ltd. and also a supervisor, is an old man who worked for Higashino Gen when the company was first founded and is deeply trusted by him.

"Yes, Uncle Mikami, Uncle Mikami will definitely have a way." Higashino Yushinari responded repeatedly, and then hurried back to the bedroom to call Mikami Seinari.

The driver suddenly remembered that the car was still parked on the road, and shouted to Dongye Jiecheng: "I'll go drive the car back."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left in a hurry.

If someone sees the car parked in the middle of the road and kindly calls the police, the matter will be noticed by the police.

So we had to drive the car back quickly.

Dongye Jiecheng made a phone call but didn't bother to respond.

"Mosimoxi?"

The call was answered quickly.

The helpless Higashino Jiecheng was so excited that he almost cried, "Uncle Mikami, I am Jiecheng!"

"Jiecheng? By the way, where is your father? The meeting is about to start, why hasn't he arrived yet? The phone can't be reached." Mikami Seinari asked in a deep voice.

Dong Ye Jiecheng said in a panicked and crying voice: "He...he was kidnapped!"

"What!" Mikami Seishi's face changed and he stood up instantly. "What on earth is going on?"

"He just left the house..." Dongye Yusei relayed the driver's words, and then asked for help, "Uncle Mikami, please think of a solution. I don't know what to do."

"I'll be there right away." Mikami Seinari hung up the phone and strode towards the meeting room.

At this time, many middle and senior managers had gathered in the conference room, waiting for Higashino Gen's arrival.

Mikami Seinari pushed the door open and found an excuse that Higashino Gen received a call and had to rush to the United States to discuss business, and canceled today's meeting.

Being stood up suddenly, everyone was confused and speechless, but they didn't suspect anything.

After all, the excuse given by Mikami Seinari was very reasonable.

Moreover, no one was imaginative enough to think of the possibility that Higashino Gen had encountered an accident and was in danger.

After the meeting was dissolved, Mikami Seinari immediately drove himself to the Higashino family. When he arrived at the door of the Higashino family, he saw a police car.

At this moment, two police officers from the Special Crimes Division of the Metropolitan Police Department who had just arrived in the living room were asking Higashino about the situation. "Mr. Higashino, the police center received a call from someone claiming to have been kidnapped more than an hour ago. After verification, the number that called belongs to your father. May I ask, is he okay?"

Although it was Higashino Gen who hung up the phone on his own initiative.

But human life was at stake, so the police center reported the matter anyway. After investigating at the telecommunications company, they found out that the person who made the alarm call was Higashino Gen. The matter was then handed over to the Special Crimes Department for further investigation.

"He...he..." Dongye Jiecheng was a little nervous and flustered, not knowing how to fool him.

The driver at the side took over the conversation, "Thank you for your concern, officers. My boss is fine. His phone number was lost a long time ago. It might be a prank."

The two police officers who responded to the call looked at each other and both felt that something was wrong. Dong Yejie's reaction was wrong.

"Yuichi, why are the police here?" At this moment, Mikami Seinari walked in and asked casually.

Dong Ye Jiecheng instantly breathed a sigh of relief and stood up happily to greet him, "Uncle Mikami, you are here."

"What's wrong with them?" Mikami Seinari nodded in response, frowned and pointed at the police and asked.

Higashino Yuiichi glanced at the two policemen, pursed his lips and said, "They are from the Special Crimes Division of the Metropolitan Police Department. They said they received a call from my father claiming that he was kidnapped, so they came to my house to find out the situation. I don't know what's going on."

"Didn't you lose your father's phone number?" Mikami Seishi asked back, then looked at the two policemen and said, "Thank you for your concern, but you made a wasted trip. Chairman Higashino is fine."

"I'm glad you're okay. In that case, we'll take our leave first." The two policemen stood up and left.

Although they knew there was something fishy going on, there was no point in them staying because the person involved was unwilling to cooperate.

Mikami Seishi nodded slightly, "Please go slowly."

After walking out of the Tono family's front door, the two policemen looked at each other and said, "This matter must be reported to the police immediately."
