Li Tian bent down to pick up the letter and helped Wei Hong sit down on the sofa.
"Tian Tian, I can't bear to look, you take it apart."
Li Tian didn't refuse and tore open the envelope directly.
Take out a piece of letter paper.
The above is Ji Ying's handwriting.
Just two short lines.
"Honey, I've been kidnapped. They're demanding a million-dollar ransom and won't let me call the police."
Li Tian read it aloud to Wei Hong when she saw it.
Wei Hong stood up after hearing this.
"One million?"
"Okay, I'll go raise the money right away!"
Li Tian reached out and stopped her.
For a kidnapping case involving this amount of money, it is necessary to report it to the police and also notify the grandfather.
"Auntie, we all hope Uncle will come back safely, but what if they won't release him even after we've paid them?"
"This isn't just your problem; we all need to discuss and decide how to handle it."
Wei Hong crossed her hands and kneaded them together.
"Tian Tian, money can be earned back, all I want is for Ji Ying to come back safe and sound."
Li Tian gently hugged Wei Hong and helped her sit down.
"Auntie, let me call Grandpa first and see what he thinks."
Ji Mingze is the patriarch of the entire Ji family, and no one dares to disobey him.
Wei Hong also deeply respected this uncle.
After listening to what Li Tian said, he nodded.
Li Tian picked up the phone and called her grandfather.
The phone rang only once before Ji Mingze's voice came from the other end.
"Grandpa, I took my aunt home and found a letter there. The sender wants one million."
"Was it written by Ji Ying himself?"
"Yes, I recognize my uncle's handwriting. My aunt wants to raise money to ransom him."
There was a moment of silence on the phone.
"We must call the police. We can't let the criminals get away with this. I'll call the city police and ask them to send a special task force."
"Okay, Grandpa, if they call, I'll try to stall for time."
"Yes, your maternal grandmother has already called and asked You Xin to go and keep Wei Hong company. The children will also be taken care of. You will take the lead in this matter, and your maternal grandfather will fully cooperate."
Li Tian scratched her forehead.
Does my grandfather trust her that much?
The pressure is immense!
"Grandpa, don't worry, we will definitely be able to rescue Uncle Ying safely."
"Okay, be careful."
To ensure Wei Hong could hear clearly, Li Tian pressed the speakerphone button.
There's no need to repeat it here.
"Aunt, we not only need to rescue Uncle this time, but also make sure he won't be targeted by anyone in the future."
"We need to let those people know that if they dare to break the law, they'll be spending their lives in jail."
Wei Hong was in a state of utter confusion. She couldn't think about anything else; all she wanted to do right now was rescue the person.
Li Tian found paper and pen and wrote down everything she knew in detail.
That way, once the task force arrives, we can start working immediately.
You Xin arrived first.
Li Tian told her aunt to focus on keeping Wei Hong company, and that she would handle the situation when the special investigation team arrived.
You Xin knew she couldn't help with anything else; she was only there to help take care of her sister-in-law.
First, they helped the person into the house and then gave them some drinks.
That one hasn't come back yet; we can't let this one fall down first.
The task force arrived quickly; there were two people in total.
A man and a woman, both in casual clothes.
It was like a normal visit to relatives.
Very cautious.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Li Tian handed over the kidnapper's letter and the information she had compiled to Zhao Xuan, the lead police officer.
The three police officers sat down and passed around the documents, quickly figuring out the whole story.
Zhao Xuan looked at Li Tian, then at Wei Hong, who was barely managing to get out.
"We've been monitoring this call, and we can quickly locate any suspicious calls."
Li Tian nodded.
Do we need to prepare money?
Zhao Xuan shook his head.
"We'll take care of that, don't worry."
After saying that, he didn't explain further.
Li Tian didn't delve into it; there was no need for her to know too much.
Just then, the phone rang inside the house.
All eyes turned to the phone.
Zhao Xuan pressed the speakerphone button, signaling Wei Hong to speak.
"Ji Ying, is that you?"
"Are you Ji Ying's wife?"
"Yes, yes, who are you?"
"Never mind who I am, did you receive the letter? It was written by Ji Ying herself."
Wei Hong subconsciously looked at Zhao Xuan.
Zhao Xuan nodded.
Li Tian wrote a sentence and placed it in front of Wei Hong.
Wei Hong quickly asked the question.
"Received it. Money is no problem, I'll find a way to raise it. Is Ji Ying there? I want to hear his voice."
But there was no response from the other side.
"Ji Ying is doing well. Once the money is in place, you'll be able to see him."
Li Tian wrote another sentence.
Wei Hong continued to ask.
"I need to hear him speak before I feel at ease."
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and raise the money. I'll give you one day. I'll tell you where to pay tomorrow at this time."
"Think of Ji Ying before you act. Don't be impulsive, or you'll bear the consequences."
After saying that, the phone call ended.
The sound of busy signals echoed from inside the room.
Li Tian reached out and put the microphone back.
The person spoke Mandarin without any obvious regional accent.
Even if there were, they wouldn't qualify as clues at the moment.
Wei Hong is now placing all her hopes on Zhao Xuan.
Before Zhao Xuan could speak, his pager went off.
After glancing at it, I spread out a city map and found the place where I made the phone call.
I frowned after reading it.
It was an old residential area with many single-story houses.
If someone is hidden there, it will be very difficult to find them.
Realizing something was wrong, Zhao Xuan relaxed.
"Comrade Wei Hong, you must stay strong. Please trust our police force. We will definitely rescue the person safely."
"I'll go back to the bureau and report to my superiors first. Once everything is arranged, I'll have my colleague accompany you to the bank to withdraw the money."
"We need to make this a convincing charade; we must be wary of the kidnappers watching us."
Wei Hong reached out and shook hands.
"Thank you, thank you. Our Ji Ying's life depends entirely on the government."
Zhao Xuan didn't have anyone deliver it, but he glanced at Li Tian.
Li Tian understood.
He followed her out.
When they were alone around the corner, Zhao Xuan spoke softly.
"If the leader says they can get you involved when they're short-staffed, you must have some special skills."
Li Tian smiled.
"I'm skilled and have received special training, so I should be able to help."
Zhao Xuan nodded.
"Tomorrow you can act independently as a mobile force."
"The goal is to save lives; as for the criminals, they can't escape."
Li Tian agreed.
"I'll follow your arrangements. It would be best if I could get a motorcycle. If they had any sense, they would separate the place where they receive the money from the place where the Tibetans are located."
Zhao Xuan nodded in agreement.
Li Tian gave her pager number.
"Messages are sent to me in Morse code, but mine is still a digital machine."
Zhao Xuan immediately believed that Li Tian had received special training.
Although Morse code is very simple, it is not something that ordinary people can understand at a glance.
Li Tian didn't leave the building, while Zhao Xuan left alone.
After comforting Wei Hong for a few moments upstairs, Li Tian returned to her grandmother's house.
She's not needed today, but she needs to go back and make thorough preparations.
As soon as Li Tian entered the room, Li Muchen surrounded her.
"Tian Tian, you used itching powder on Zhu Xinghe yesterday, didn't you? Wang Juan used it on him before."
"He can definitely guess that you did it."
"Do you think he kidnapped Uncle Ying?"
