I really don't want to be an official if I transmigrate into Qi Tongwei's life.

Chapter 140 Kidnappers

As the executive deputy director, Han Weiping had many considerations, but the most important thing was to solve the case and catch the kidnappers as soon as possible, otherwise the pressure from the municipal party committee and government would only increase.

"Don't overthink it, kid. Take your men and find Huang Liansheng right now. I'll talk to the Xipu branch and get everyone working together to solve the case as soon as possible."

When the leader gave the order, Qi Tongwei had no reason to refuse. After all, it was a kidnapping case, and if it wasn't solved as soon as possible, it would frighten the people.

"Yes, Director Han, I'll lead a team to check it out right away."

After leaving, Qi Tongwei gave Tang Guozhong a few instructions and then took Tian Xiaobing to handle the case.

Huang Family Villa.

When Qi Tongwei arrived, Luo Xiong from the Xipu branch was also there. The kidnappers had made a phone call, asking for 30 million yuan right off the bat, and they didn't want consecutively numbered cash.

"Qi Tongwei, what are you doing here?"

Huang Lianzhong hated Qi Tongwei to the core; he didn't want to wait even a day longer to avenge the humiliation he had suffered.

Qi Tongwei chuckled. "I'm a policeman. What do you think I'm here for? To collect a corpse, of course?"

Huang Lianzhong was so angry that smoke was practically billowing from his nostrils. "Is this even human language? He's clearly cursing his own nephew to die!"

"Qi Tongwei, get the hell out of here! It's none of your business what the Huang family does!"

Qi Tongwei stepped forward, glaring fiercely at Huang Lianzhong. "Idiot, move aside. Can't you learn from your older brother? How old are you? Can't you control your temper?"

"Continuous success"

Huang Lianzhong was about to make another move when Huang Liansheng immediately stopped him loudly.

"Captain Qi, my son's case has been taken over by the officers from the Xipu branch, so there's no need to trouble the officers from the municipal bureau."

Qi Tongwei deliberately bumped into Huang Lianzhong, almost knocking him over, but Huang Liansheng immediately stepped in front of his younger brother.

"General Manager Huang, it's my duty. My superiors have ordered me to work alongside the comrades at the Xipu branch. I will definitely do my utmost to save your son."

"Qi Tongwei, just stay out of the way. Our Xipu branch doesn't need your help."

Luo Xiong was also furious when he saw Qi Tongwei. His custom-made teeth weren't finished yet, and he was already slurring his words.

Qi Tongwei sat down on the sofa without any hesitation. "Captain Luo, you continue. I'll just watch and not say a word."

Huang Lianzhong was so angry that he felt extremely stifled in front of Qi Tongwei.

"Qi Tongwei, who the hell let you sit here? Do you even know this sofa was imported from Italy? You couldn't afford it with three years' salary!"

Qi Tongwei ignored Huang Lianzhong, that clown, and, to his dismay, lit a cigarette.

"Young Master Huang, don't get so angry. Saving your nephew is the most important thing right now. Nothing else matters. Look at me, I really wanted to take you back, but I'm here to help you save your nephew anyway. Don't be ungrateful."

Huang Lianzhong clenched his fists tightly. Facing Qi Tongwei, this scoundrel, he felt like a gentleman.

"Qi Tongwei, you'd better shut up and do nothing, or you won't escape if my nephew gets hurt in the slightest."

Qi Tongwei crossed his legs, tilted his head back, and exhaled a puff of smoke, exuding arrogance. Tian Xiaobing wanted to try it too, but he couldn't let go.

"Young Master Huang, I advise you not to threaten a criminal investigation captain; you'll be the one who suffers if you do."

"Lian Zhong, stop talking."

Huang Liansheng couldn't bear to watch his younger brother argue with Qi Tongwei anymore. His son was missing and his fate was uncertain. He was already at his wit's end.

"Captain Qi, since this is an order from higher up, then I'll leave it to you."

Qi Tongwei flicked his cigarette ash off the ground. "Don't worry, Mr. Huang. I'm a policeman. Catching thieves is my duty. Did the kidnappers call you?"

"They've already called. They want me to prepare 30 million in cash, and then wait for another call."

Qi Tongwei stood up. Since Huang Liansheng was willing to cooperate, he would pay more attention.

"Mr. Huang, most kidnapping cases are committed by acquaintances. In business, you're bound to offend people; it's unavoidable. Do you have any suspects?"

Huang Liansheng, that old fox, certainly wouldn't tell Qi Tongwei the truth. "Captain Qi, there have indeed been some conflicts in business, but they've all been resolved in the end. I really can't think of anyone who wants to retaliate against me right now."

Qi Tongwei didn't expect Huang Liansheng to tell the truth. Since Huang had already mobilized his underworld connections, Qi Tongwei preferred to solve the problem himself.

"Alright, Mr. Huang, if you remember anything, just let me know, and we'll work together to save your son."

"Thank you for your help, Captain Qi."

"Mr. Huang, if you don't mind, I'd like to take a walk around."

"Captain Qi, please feel free to look around."

Qi Tongwei led Tian Xiaobing outside.

Huang Lianzhong couldn't swallow this insult. "Brother, why are you being so polite to that bastard? He stuffed ice cubes into your brother's mouth; I almost choked to death!"

Huang Liansheng understood his brother, but his son's situation was the most important thing right now. "Lianzhong," he said, "I'm warning you, don't cause trouble at this time. Let him do whatever he wants. The most important thing is to save Yuanlong, to save your nephew."

The older brother spoke harshly, and Huang Lianzhong knew that saving his nephew was the priority, so he could only swallow his anger for the time being.

"Brother, I understand. I will cooperate fully with Captain Luo."

Luo Xiong was very confident. "Don't worry, gentlemen. Qi Tongwei only brought one person with him. Our Xipu branch will still be the main force."

In the villa courtyard, Qi Tongwei handed Tian Xiaobing a cigarette and sat down on a stone bench.

Tian Xiaobing was a little indignant. "Captain Qi, what is the Xipu Branch? Such a big case should be handled by the Municipal Bureau."

Two pigeons flew over and landed in the yard, pacing back and forth. Qi Tongwei laughed and said, "Tian Xiaobing, our case is so tense, why don't you just relax a bit?"

Tian Xiaobing took a deep drag of his cigarette, coughing a few times as he did so. "Captain Qi, is this Hua Zi cigarette fake?"

Qi Tongwei kicked him directly, "You son of a bitch, I'm giving you a free draw, and you're still being picky!"

"Captain Qi, you're being too domineering. Even if it's fake, it's not your fault."

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who'd be taken advantage of? If they dare give me fake cigarettes, I'll smash their whole shop to pieces."

Tian Xiaobing gave a thumbs up, "Captain Qi is awesome, you're my idol!"

At an abandoned shipyard by the sea, Long Shao was found with his hands and feet bound, his mouth gagged, and his eyes covered with a black cloth, thrown into a dilapidated ship's hold.

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh"

Long Shao struggled violently; he was starving and thirsty.

There were four kidnappers, all with buzz cuts and ruthless-looking faces.

"Brother Ta, I think that kid's hungry."

Tago was the leader of the four, and he was wanted for robbing a taxi driver and stabbing him to death.

The other three were from Tago's hometown, and they followed him hoping to make a fortune so they could go home and get married.

"Give him some water, he doesn't need food, he won't starve."

"Okay, Tago."

The short man, carrying a bottle of mineral water, walked up to Long Shao.

"I'm warning you, don't you dare shout or yell. I'm giving you water now, but if you dare make a sound, I'll kill you right now."

Young Master Long was so frightened that he quickly nodded.

The short man removed the gauze from Long Shao's mouth, and Long Shao immediately gasped for breath, gulping down more than half the bottle in one go.

"Brother, please give me some food. I'll pay for it with my own money. I'll ask my dad to pay an extra million, or two million if that's not enough."
