What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Citon City.

It was past midnight, and Xia Libing's three uncles and three aunts had been running around all day without rest for Xia Tianhuo's kidnapping.

"Is Xiaobing asleep?" Uncle San, who had just hung up the phone and walked to sit next to his wife, asked in a low voice.

"Sleep." The third aunt nodded, her brows furrowed all day long and she could not relax. She first went to make a hot drink and brought it to the police staff who were still busy in the living room debugging equipment. He just came back and sat down and sighed softly: "Xiao Bing also worked very hard. I received a call in the middle of the night yesterday and rushed over overnight. He didn't get much rest all day long. It makes people feel distressed to see it. Alas, this thing is really... "

The third uncle said: "By the way, Xiaobing is staying in Jianzhou now? Is he with Mr. Xiang from before?"

"Well, it was said that it was going to be a breeding research center. I don't know why Xiaobing suddenly became interested in these things."

"Then what's the relationship between the two of them now?"

"I thought before that they might have been together." The third aunt said thoughtfully, "But this time... I asked Xiaobing when she arrived in the morning if Xiaoxiang knew about it, and she said she knew . Now that I know... He also asked Xiaobing to come over by bus, and no one showed up, which made me feel a little uncomfortable. You also saw how tired Xiaobing looked when he came here in the morning, right? I I feel...well, when this matter is over, I still have to have a good talk with Xiaobing later."

The third uncle said: "Mr. Xiang...Xiao Xiang must be busy with something."

The third aunt frowned and said: "If he really cares about Xiaobing, what else could be more important than this at this time?"

The third uncle said: "Didn't I just call a businessman with Myanmar connections that I contacted Lao Xu? The man was very enthusiastic and promised to contact a very influential person in Mentamila to help find out the information. , and promised to use a relatively private channel to contact the kidnappers and try not to alert the kidnappers. After that, of course I was very grateful, but what do you think the other party said? "

The third uncle did not show off and said directly: "The other party said you're welcome. He owes Mr. Xiang a great favor and he should help. I can rest assured that he will do his best."

The third aunt was stunned when she heard this: "I owe you a favor, what kind of favor?"

The third uncle shook his head: "The other party didn't say it, but this person is an influential boss. I actually knew it before, so I think... what Xiao Xiang is doing is probably not simple."

The third aunt was thoughtful.

After receiving a call from Xia Libing yesterday to inform him of the situation,

The two of them have been busy with this matter. Today, their home is like a temporary headquarters. Both children have been temporarily sent to friends.

As for Xia Tianhuo's parents, like Xia Libing's parents, they are also abroad. After being informed by their third uncle and Xia Libing in the morning, they were on their way back. In addition, the kidnappers contacted Xia Libing. She thinks she is the "parent", so for the time being, everything is left to the third uncle to take charge.

The third uncle first consulted with people from the Citong police through his channels, and then received the advice to directly contact the Chinese consulate in Mentamila and ask them to help with the rescue.

However, what the consulate can do is mainly to urge local officials and police to conduct investigations and rescues. What the consulate will focus more on is the operational capabilities of relevant local departments, institutions, and organizations.

If you are in China, there is no doubt that calling the police in a reliable way and trusting the police is the best choice. Countless cases have proven that if you give all the initiative to the kidnappers and rely entirely on the kidnappers' trustworthiness, there is a high probability that both people and money will be lost in the end. Not only will the ransom be lost, but the kidnapped relatives may not be able to come back. The best opportunity to rescue and capture was lost.

But that is based on the strong domestic police control capabilities and related assistance systems such as the Skynet system. If it is abroad, especially when the local situation is complicated and the situation of the kidnappers is unknown, the third uncle and the third uncle will My aunt was still a little hesitant about whether to seek help from the local police in Montamila through the consulate.

Of course, because the call demanding ransom was made directly to Xia Libing's mobile phone in China, the Citong police can still provide corresponding technical support to help try to locate the kidnapper's location, and if necessary, apply for Interpol Organizational help.

However, INTERPOL's local capabilities are very limited. It only has the function of assisting investigations. If it really wants to rescue people or arrest kidnappers, it still has to rely on the local police.

So during the day, the three uncles and three aunts first tried to find connections to see if they could contact more influential people in Burma and Mentamila, and see if they could figure out the identity, origin, and even the identity of the kidnappers. Possibly contact the kidnappers directly.

If possible, a local powerful man in Montamila can act as an intermediary. Under the premise of guarantee, for the sake of safety, paying a ransom and replacing someone is also an option.

Although five million US dollars in cash, even if the entire Xia family mobilized, it would be very laborious and difficult to come up with in a short period of time. But as long as Xia Tianhuo's safety can be guaranteed, they are still willing to pay such a price.

However, among the people that the third uncle knew, there were very few people who were involved in business or relations with Myanmar, and most of what they did were foreign trade orders, which were not large in volume, and they did not directly know anyone in the local area of ​​​​Meng Tamila. Those who are powerful have to go through other people to inquire, and there is no way to give a direct answer.

The third uncle didn't dare to ask them to contact him in a big way. He didn't dare to tell them the specific situation until he was sure there was a reliable channel, so basically there was no progress.

In the end, it was police officer Lao Xu who was sent by the Citon Police to assist, who provided a clue and found a big boss with "connections" in Montamila.

After chatting for a while, it turned out that the "connector" was a local boss named Wu Lun. When the third uncle asked other people before, he had also heard this name, which was "If you can contact Wu Lun in Mentamila, what would it be like?" Everything can be found out," etc., but no one else has any friendship or contact channels with Wu Lun.

Not only did the other party have Wu Lun's connections, but he also acted very proactively and enthusiastically. If it weren't for Lao Xu's involvement and knew the other party's identity, the third uncle would have doubted whether the other party was a liar.

Now, although the other party only promised to do his best to help and no results have come yet, the third uncle's body, which had been tense for a whole day, still relaxed a little - at least he had been busy all day, so he did not achieve anything.

The only thing that puzzled him was the other party's initiative in this matter, because generally people who didn't have a deep relationship would not be willing to get involved in this kind of thing.

Based on the other party's words, it can only be said that Xiang Kun has a great reputation, and many people already know about the relationship between Xiaobing and Xiang Kun.

But this also made it difficult for him to understand what kind of ability Xiang Kun had to make such a big boss show such an attitude in front of a third party?

Isn't Xiang Kun a programmer?

Didn't he go to Jianzhou to do farming and restaurants?

Oh, he seems to be playing games?

Could it be that the big boss wanted to participate in Xiang Kun's game project?

That's not the case.

…

Copperstone Town.

Qi Haoguo, who had just finished talking to Wu Lun on the phone, was sitting in the study, leaning on the executive chair, squinting slightly, rubbing his chin, thinking about the content of the call between the two.

Although Wu Lun is from Myanmar, he has done business with Chinese people for many years and is 1/4 Chinese. The two of them communicate in half Chinese and half English. There is no need for a translator and they can basically communicate what needs to be communicated. Communicated.

Yes, the big boss who the third uncle contacted through Lao Xu and had the "connections" to Big Mengtamila was Qi Haoguo.

In fact, it was not Qi Haoguo who Lao Xu contacted at first, and the two of them did not know each other.

Old Xu contacted Chu Xiuwen, because he had heard that Chu Xiuwen had done business with Myanmar before, and even planned to open a factory in Myanmar, so he thought he might have connections in related fields, so he tried to contact the third uncle and asked. ask.

Chu Xiuwen did know a few people in Myanmar, but like the other people the third uncle had contacted before, they were either not in Mentamila, or they were all related to the industry and could not help.

When Lao Xu contacted me, he didn't tell me the specific matter or details, so the matter just passed away, and it was normal that he couldn't help.

But Chu Xiuwen later learned some information from other friends who had been asked by his third uncle, and found that the person who needed Meng Tamila's local connections was the husband of the vice president of the Third Hospital, who was also Xia Libing's third uncle. He had some understanding of the background of "Doctor Xia" who went to Tongshi Town and Chongyun Village with Xiang Kun.

Then he realized that something might have happened to the Xia family, so he took the initiative to contact Lao Xu and learned some brief information. He knew that a relative of the Xia family was trapped in Mentamila.

Chu Xiuwen originally wanted to contact Xiang Kun to ask about the situation, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind.

Although he couldn't help himself, he knew that Qi Haoguo had done business in Myanmar before and had high-level contacts, so he made a call directly.

Chu Xiuwen asked him directly if he had a good relationship with Wu Lun, a powerful local figure in Mentamila.

Qi Haoguo's first reaction was to deny it, saying that all relevant investment cooperation with Myanmar had been withdrawn and there was no contact.

But Chu Xiuwen's sentence "It's related to Xiang Kun's friend Dr. Xia" made Qi Haoguo relax.

After listening to what Chu Xiuwen said, Qi Haoguo immediately decided to contact Officer Xu because he knew very well that Dr. Xia was the woman who lived in the same house as Xiang Kun in Chongyun Village. The relationship is very unusual and this may be a very good opportunity.

Then he spoke directly to Xia Libing's third uncle through Lao Xu. After the communication, he also learned about Xia Tianhuo's specific situation and the difficulties they were currently facing, so he promised to help contact Meng Tamila. Wu Lun, a local powerful man, asked him to help find out the news, and Xia Tianhuo's safety was the top priority in everything.

Qi Haoguo has indeed been investing in Myanmar in the past few years. He has also had some cooperation and business dealings with Wu Lun, and even prepared to cooperate in a casino before.

But after the incident a year ago, he not only put away some of his domestic business, but also basically stopped his business in Myanmar. His cooperation with Wu Lun was also ended unilaterally, but some loose ends have not yet been cleared. So when Chu Xiuwen first called to ask about his relationship in Myanmar, his first reaction was, "I'm not, I don't have it, I'll take it all in."

He really wants to cut himself off from the former self who was only interested in doing any business, and now he really doesn't want to be associated with certain people anymore.

It did take some effort to get in touch with Wu Lun again. After all, he didn't consider working together in the future when we cut the deal.

However, the previous business in Myanmar did not mean that it could be completely closed. The benefits that Qi Haoguo was willing to give up would definitely be cheaper for others. Letting Wu Lun take over all these interests is also a big bargaining chip. If he doesn't cooperate, Wu Lun won't be able to swallow everything.

Even Qi Haoguo has made preparations. In order to get Wu Lun to cooperate, he can also give him some financial sweetness, or even give him some pie.

But after contacting him, Qi Haoguo discovered that although Wu Lun was still acting in a pretentious manner on the surface, he, who was very aware of Wu Lun's style, clearly felt that this guy actually had a strong willingness to cooperate. It was as if his phone call was a life-saving straw.

This made Qi Haoguo a little confused. Could it be that Wu Lun himself had something to do with this matter?

If this was the case, then he would not dare to tell Wu Lun the matter.

Don't fail to help when the time comes, and instead cause the Xia family's children to be ripped apart, then he really can't explain it.

…

Monta Mira.

In the house of the scrapyard.

After escaping from the dream, Xiang Kun walked out of the house directly and went to Nan Nan, the man with the jade pendant who was still sleeping soundly. He first took back the "black circle graffiti" and then pushed the sofa where he was sleeping, shaking him. After a few seconds, he turned around and walked back to the room "as if nothing had happened" and closed the door.

Since he already knew the information he wanted to know in the "dream within a dream" and had related reverse influences, Xiang Kun was pressed for time and naturally couldn't let the man with the jade pendant continue to sleep. He had to wake up quickly and get up to "work" .

Of course, on the other side, Xiang Kun hoped that Lao Xia, who was at the home of her third uncle and her third aunt in Citong City, could continue to sleep and keep her spirits up.

The man with the jade pendant sat up from the sofa, his expression a little dazed, and rubbed his face with both hands. He glanced at the long-haired man sleeping on the sofa opposite, and the stocky man who had moved the recliner back to the house to sleep at some point. The man swallowed. After a while, the dream he had just had suddenly appeared in his mind, and then some thoughts emerged uncontrollably.

So he didn't care that it was already past three in the morning. He got up and took out a satellite phone from a box under the TV cabinet. He walked to the next room and turned on the light. However, after flipping the switch a few times, he found that the switch seemed broken. .

He didn't think too much. Anyway, he was very familiar with this room. It didn't matter whether he turned on the lights or not, so he took the satellite phone and started trying to contact Brother Kui.

He didn't know that he was not alone in this dark room.

Xiang Kun folded his arms and leaned against the wall, watching the man with the jade pendant not far away making a phone call. He didn't look nervous or worried at all.

When he found out that the man in the jade pendant was coming to this room with a satellite phone to make a call, Xiang Kun already had several countermeasures, such as controlling the "super-connected things" to make noises in other rooms, and quickly when he went to check. He left the room, but his final choice was to use the "hyperconnection" to affect the lights in the room so that they could not light up, and then hid in the darkness to observe.
