It was sometime after six that evening.
Du Rushan called me and said Huang Wenlong had contacted him again, asking us to come to the company immediately.
The three of us had just finished dinner, and we rushed straight back to Weihai Group.
When we reached the office, it was filled with bodyguards, all looking ready to move out.
Du Rushan sat on the sofa with a dark expression, looking grim.
He said Huang Wenlong had contacted him by text, added another ten million to the ransom, and given him a general location for the exchange.
But the location was not in this city. It was in neighboring Chongqing, and he had not given a specific location.
Huang Wenlong had told Du Rushan to send people to Chongqing to await his message. He would provide the exact location for the exchange tomorrow night.
Worried about his son, Du Rushan did not dare disobey and could only do as instructed. But to confirm that Du Yunting was still alive, he had demanded a video call with him.
Huang Wenlong had agreed, and after the video call, Du Rushan had confirmed that Du Yunting was still alive.
Du Rushan had also recorded the entire video call.
"Take a look..."
He sighed and handed us his phone.
We played the video and soon saw Du Yunting tied up in a small, dark room.
He was bound to a chair, with multiple knife wounds on his body. His face was battered and bruised, and he was barely clinging to life. He had clearly been badly tortured.
His mouth was also sealed with tape.
Another person soon appeared in the video. He wore a mask and a hat and used a voice changer.
He did not want to reveal his real face or his voice,
