Chapter 911 - Holding crew
From the moment the Dream enters Sydney Harbour, it has been targeted.
After learning more about this Chinese civil scientific research ship, these people began to track the crew’s activities and found that they were purchasing a large amount of supplies every day, enough to see the economic strength of the ship’s captain.
So decided to do it.
On the evening of the hands-on, Liu Wei was invited by Stockton to the presidential suite to taste the new wine sent back from the winery he bought in France.
The wine tastes mellow.
Just as Elena was also there, Stockton wanted to clarify the matter between them in front of the two children.
The main reason is that I don’t want to see my daughter sink too deep, and it will be hard to extricate herself in the future!
Stockton asked Liu Wei: “Liu! How did Elena perform on the boat?”
Liu Wei praised: “Elena is a very good crew member. She showed strong will during the devil selection period!”
Elena snickered when Liu Wei praised her.
Stockton then asked: “When are the two quartz mines in the north of Australia ready to take over?”
“what?”
Liu Wei was taken aback first, and immediately reacted.
He was caught off guard to ask, he really didn’t think about how to answer decently.
Just as he was thinking, the phone WeChat rang.
“Sorry! Mr. Stockton, I will reply with a message!”
Liu Wei took out his mobile phone and glanced at the message. It was a video screen sent by the sailor Zhang Xing.
Click to play the video.
In the video, Zhang Xing and the crew on duty tonight were all forced to a corner, squatting on the ground, holding their heads in both hands.
Zhang Xing said: “Captain, we were hijacked by a group of people! They want 300,000 Australian dollars!”
The verbal abuse continued.
Liu Wei suddenly became serious.
“Sorry, Mr. Stockton, I have a very important thing to do now!”
Elena thought that Liu Wei was deliberately evading the question from her father just now, and planned to reach out her hand to hold Liu Wei and let him make it clear that her hand was first held by Stockton.
“Dad! Did you let him go like this?” Elena said reluctantly.
Stockton said to the secretary: “Find someone to follow up and see!”
“I’ll do it right away! Boss!”
After the secretary left the room, Stockton explained to his daughter, “Liu Wei has a very stable personality. Even if we are discussing a topic he doesn’t like today, he will face it very politely and will not embarrass you and me. But just after he looked at the phone, his face became very serious, indicating that it must be a very important thing!”
After hearing her father’s explanation, Elena suddenly realized.
“I went to see!”
Stockton grabbed Elena, “I have sent someone to observe. If it is a difficult problem, we need to plan well, and we can’t act impulsively!”
…
After Liu Wei went out, he returned to his room and sent a WeChat message to Zhang Xing, “Zhang Xing, stabilize the emotions of the crew on the ship, and promise to hold your hostage. Two hours later, I will take the money to redeem them!”
Liu Wei guessed that the kidnappers should only come for the money. Since they chose to do it at night, they are probably members of the society and they have no connection with political sanctions.
As long as the money is sent over, it should be possible to rescue the kidnapped crew.
Can not help but let Liu Wei a Chinese kidnapping case in Australia a few years ago.
Liu Wei put on his backpack and went out, went directly to the bank, and went to several banks in a row, but none of them were still handling business.
Finally, I took the tens of thousands of Australian dollars raised from the ATM and went to the terminal, first stabilized the kidnappers, and probed their details before making plans.
The man sent by Stockton returned to the hotel and said, “Boss, I saw Liu Wei withdraw a lot of money, and then went to the dock!”
“Withdraw money!”
Stockton guessed: “Is it because someone hijacked Liu Wei’s scientific research ship?”
Elena became nervous instantly, “I will call the police now!”
Stockton stopped and said: “The video Liu Wei saw should have been sent by the kidnappers. He didn’t call the police immediately. He must have taken into account the safety of the remaining crew members on the ship. Once we call the police, the kidnappers are likely to tear the ticket!
“What do you do now? Are you going to think of a way?” Elena stomped anxiously.
Stockton looked at his watch and said to the secretary: “At this point in time, there is no bank nearby. The money Liu Wei prepared will definitely not satisfy the kidnappers’ appetite. You go to the hotel and spend A$200,000 on your account to support Liu Wei. !”
“I’ll go now!”
Elena asked: “Dad! Are we really going to give the kidnappers?”
“We have to follow Liu Wei’s thinking now. He regards the rescue of the crew as the top priority. We have to do this too, so that it is possible to help him instead of adding trouble.
Of course, these kidnappers must not be let go. This is Sydney, the capital of Newland and Wales. The kidnappers hijacked Chinese scientific research ships here, which will have a great international impact.
We must rescue the crew and ensure Liu Wei’s safety before the consulate knows about this!
I immediately contacted the leaders of the state government and asked the Chief Inspector of Police to control the perimeter of the pier, and when the kidnappers fled, they would be wiped out! “
Stockton picked up the phone from the coffee table and walked to the edge of the window.
…
Liu Wei took the tens of thousands of Australian dollars back to the dock.
“Boss! Here comes the man!”
The kidnapper accomplices reported.
Several people walked to the bow.
Looking at Liu Wei, he asked: “Are you the captain?”
Liu Wei nodded.
“What about the money?”
Liu Wei slowly squatted down and placed the backpack gently on the splint.
Glancing at the kidnapper.
No heavy weapons were found in them.
Only the stun gun in his hand and the dagger pinned to his waist.
Liu Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
The kidnapper picked up his backpack and took a look, then rummaged for a few times, “Fuck! I will ask your crew to tell you to come over with 300,000 Australian dollars to redeem someone! You just took that much?”
Liu Wei said: “There are only so many! The bank has closed. If you do it during the day, I can raise all the money. It is night. This is my best effort!”
“Boss! What he said seems reasonable, we should do it during the day!” said the comrade standing next to him.
“Fuck!” The kidnapper head kicked his hand to the ground.
Then he said to Liu Wei: “I will give you another two hours, no matter what method you use, raise 300,000 yuan!”
Turning around and beckoning to the guards of the crew, they dragged Zhang Xing to Liu Wei.
The kidnapper shot Zhang Xingzi’s stun gun twice and reminded Liu Wei, “Remember not to call the police!”
Zhang Xing looked at Liu Wei nervously, “Captain!”
Moisturize the throat.
Liu Wei said: “Take care of the other crew members, I’ll go to collect the money!”
He raised his head and said to the kidnapper leader: “Two hours later, I will return with the remaining money to redeem someone!”
Then turned around and left.
After the kidnapper watched Liu Wei disembark, he turned his head and raised his chin to the man next to him to let him follow.
Liu Wei noticed that someone was following him and accelerated his pace.
Originally wanted to get rid of the burden behind, another shadow suddenly appeared in Yu Guang.
“Hmm~”
A voice came from behind.
Liu Wei looked back, the person stalking him was controlled and blindfolded!
