A truck was parked by the roadside. Aside from its front windshield, all the windows were sealed with black tape, making it impossible to see the situation inside from the outside.
At that moment, Charlie was sitting inside the truck, waiting for another message from the kidnappers.
In the driverโs seat, George was also growing increasingly restless.
Georgeโs plan was quite simple: to have his own people successfully take away the money. Then he would use these same individuals to create financial pressure on the Cosmic Tower.
After all, George was in charge of the Cosmic Towerโs external affairs.
Manipulating the financial chain would be all too easy for him.
Managing the financial chain is crucial in business operations. Many behemoth companies have faced enormous crises just because of a single delayed payment.
And now, just by getting his hands on the money, causing tens or even hundreds of billions in losses to the Cosmos Tower would be straightforward.
Though Charlie was currently the chairman, if he were to bring about a significant loss, other shareholders could easily unite against him.
As George was contemplating his next moves, Charlie suddenly spoke.
โGeorge, what do you think these kidnappers want all this money for?โ
โWhat else could it be for? Obviously, itโs for the money. I mean, with that amount, they could live comfortably for the rest of their lives,โ George reasoned.
Charlie, however, disagreed.
โBut one billion is an excessive amount, donโt you think? Not just for one lifetime, but even ten lifetimes wouldnโt suffice.โ
โSo, I have reason to believe that they want all this money not just to satisfy their own greed, but for some other purpose.โ
Upon hearing this, George started to sweat profusely. Given Charlieโs intelligence, if he began suspecting in that direction, deducing Georgeโs true intent would be rather easy.
โBut theyโre just kidnappers, right? Their actions are usually driven by money. What special motive could they have?โ
โTrue, they are after money, but it might not necessarily be my money.โ
Saying this, Charlie gestured towards the back of the truck.
โDo you really think Iโd be foolish enough to bring one billion in cash? To be honest with you, itโs all blank paper in there. Iโm just waiting for that guy to show up. Letโs see what heโs really capable of!โ
It was all a trap!
Once he understood Charlieโs plan, George was dumbfounded.
Initially, George had thought that Alice was someone Charlie deeply cared about. Charlie wouldnโt risk her life just to catch him, or so he thought. However, it seemed that Charlie was indeed willing to use Aliceโs safety as a means to capture him.
Now that his scheme had been exposed, George knew he had to retract all the arrangements heโd made. But with Charlie right beside him, he couldnโt contact his people.
Pretending to check the time on his phone, George was stopped by Charlie.
โThe car has a clock. No need to take out your phone just to check the time.โ
George knew he was in great danger. If he couldnโt communicate that it was all a trap, he would find himself in serious trouble.
And if the kidnapper he had arranged was caught. it would nose a significant
risk for George.
โChairman, I find this situation rather strange. That guy has probably set a trap here. Maybe he wants more than just one billion!โ
George tried to persuade, but his words had no effect at this point.
โLetโs discuss all this once weโve caught that guy. Iโm eager to see who in
Atlanta has the audacity to kidnap my daughter!โ
Both waited, and soon enough, the kidnapper arrived.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Luo Feng had also discovered some clues.
After an investigation, he found that George had recently bought a house in a rather secluded location. For someone of Georgeโs status, buying such a
property was highly unusual.
This was too suspicious, so Luo Feng decided to check it out. fr eeweb novel
Driving to the residential area, he easily gained entry under a false pretext. Soon, he reached the door of the house George had bought.
Two security cameras were installed at the entrance. It was obviously no ordinary place.
Jardins and Alice were most likely here.
Instead of using the front entrance, Luo Feng first went to the room next door..
