292: Pay money to redeem someone
“Mm, mm, mm, when did this happen? Did he go crazy for money? Mom, don’t worry, I’m going back now.” Pan Han said a few brief words, hung up the phone, and immediately put on his clothes.
Ellie, who had been sound asleep, suddenly woke up, alert and said, “Boss, what happened?”
“My cousin was detained in the Myanmar Northern Region. I’m going back to deal with it. You stay here for now; I’ll find you if anything happens.” Pan Han explained simply, already dressed, and turned to leave.
Once in the car, he still left a message for Yan Xiaoli, telling her that he had to leave early and that everyone should continue filming well.
After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator to the floor and drove straight to his hometown county.
The cousin Pan Han’s mother mentioned was her cousin’s son, only 20 years old this year.
Because he didn’t study well, he went to the city to drift for two years after graduating from high school. Some time ago, he told his family he was going out to work.
Unexpectedly, there was no news for over a month after he left, and just now, he called, asking the family to pay money to redeem him.
“Damn it, this idiot, doesn’t he usually read the news? He actually had the guts to go to the Myanmar Northern Region to work! He really has a death wish.” Pan Han kept scolding his cousin all the way.
This younger cousin, Pan Han was very familiar with him when they were children, often playing together.
Later, because he didn’t study well, the two gradually drifted apart.
Unexpectedly, the next time there was news, it was that he had gone to the Myanmar Northern Region.
That place is all about telecom fraud and human organ trafficking; does this kid not know anything about it?
He really doesn’t give people peace of mind.
On the way, Pan Han talked to his family several more times.
Ever since Pan Han became successful, Pan Han’s mother would think of her son first whenever something happened.
Now, his cousin’s family is anxiously waiting at Pan Han’s house.
Due to the urgency of the matter, Pan Han ignored the speed limit, directly floored the accelerator, and rushed home at 200 kilometers per hour the entire way.
The matters of license suspension and fines were all handed over to the Knight Order for handling.
From receiving the call to entering the house, it was exactly two hours.
When everyone saw Pan Han return, they immediately gathered around him.
His mother’s cousin cried and threw herself into Pan Han’s arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
“Give me the phone.” Pan Han asked for the phone number, went to the bedroom, closed the door, and immediately sent it to Ouyang Cong.
“Check the specific information of this number for me.” Pan Han’s tone was a bit anxious, and Ouyang Cong could tell.
Without another word, he immediately sent people to investigate.
Three minutes later, all the information was sent to Pan Han’s phone.
Indeed, it was called from a street in the Myanmar Northern Region. The real owner of the phone was a young man named Qingshan.
Pan Han cursed, no need to ask, this kid definitely didn’t meet his quota, was severely beaten, and then asked his family for money.
If the family didn’t give money, they would definitely harvest his kidney for sale.
In fact, even if the family gave money, they might not release him.
The people over there are very dark.
“I’ll give you a name and ID number, combine that with this phone number, and get the person out for me.” Cursing aside, the person definitely needed to be saved, so Pan Han directly assigned the task to Ouyang Cong.
“Yes, Cult Master.” Ouyang Cong’s interest was piqued when he heard it was a rescue operation.
He had done this kind of thing a few times before; since he could kill, he had to learn how to save people, they were all complementary.
“Son, what should we do about this? You said, how could your cousin do such a thing?” His mother walked into the room, asking with a face full of anxiety.
She didn’t know about the situation in the Myanmar Northern Region originally.
But ever since the incident, she searched online and saw news of various beatings, electrocutions, and organ sales, making her heart pound.
Ordinary county residents had never seen such a world; they always thought life was peaceful.
“Mom, I’m thinking of a way. It’s hard to say right now.” Pan Han comforted his mother.
“We’ve already called the police. The police said they’d file a case first. But since it happened abroad, it needs to be reported level by level.” His mother said.
“By the time they act, it’ll probably be too late. Rescuing someone across borders isn’t that simple. First, organize the materials and report them to the Myanmar Northern Region police, then see if the police over there will handle it.” Pan Han didn’t disbelieve the police, but time wouldn’t wait for anyone.
Moreover, the Myanmar Northern Region is a lawless zone, a mixed bag, and the most powerful forces there are actually Dragon Country people.
These people are very cunning; they show no mercy when dealing with their compatriots.
“Then what should we do? Oh my goodness.” When his mother heard that it would be too late, her heart also sank.
“How much money do they want?”
“Three hundred thousand! And only three days’ time.”
“Did they give an account?”
“Yes.”
“Transfer the money first. Saving his life is the priority.” Pan Han pulled his mother to the living room.
Pan Han’s aunt was very poor, which was why her child was so young and eager to make money.
Let alone three hundred thousand, she couldn’t even come up with thirty thousand.
Pan Han sighed and paid the money himself.
A few minutes later, the other party called, speaking with an authentic Dragon Country accent: “Hello, is this Er Qiu’s family?”
Er Qiu was his cousin’s nickname, only known by relatives and friends.
It seemed this kid was tricked by a friend.
No one dared to answer the phone, so Pan Han had to talk to the other party: “Yes, you’ve received the money, let me talk to Er Qiu.”
“Oh, why are you in such a hurry? We keep our word here, we’re very trustworthy. Don’t worry. We’ll release him once we get the money.” Listening to the other party’s tone, it was a young man in his twenties, but definitely not a good person.
“Brother, let’s talk things over. Just don’t hurt Er Qiu.” Pan Han could only stabilize the other party first, not to provoke him.
His aunt and mother, among others, all held their breath, not daring to breathe loudly, fearing they might provoke the other party from afar.
“Alright, alright, since you’re so easy to talk to, I’ll let Er Qiu say a word to you.” After the other party spoke, Pan Han heard the sound of a door opening, and Er Qiu was brought to the phone.
“Hello, Mom?”
“I’m your cousin Pan Han.”
“Brother! Wuwuwu! You finally came to save me.”
“How are you now? Did they hit you?”
“This…” Er Qiu started to stutter, clearly the other party was threatening him.
“No!” After saying this, Pan Han heard the sound of Er Qiu being pulled away.
“Alright, the words have been said. Then it’s fine. Wait for your precious son to come home. Hahaha.” After the other party spoke, he hung up the phone.
His aunt wanted to say a few more words to Er Qiu, but unexpectedly the other party hung up, and tears instantly flowed down.
Pan Han, however, felt something was wrong; the other party’s tone didn’t sound like they intended to release him.
At this moment, his dedicated phone rang. Pan Han walked into the bedroom and closed the door.
“Cult Master, your relative is being held in the telecom park of Pang Yun, the largest local force.”
“Just tell me how to rescue him.”
“I already made a call just now. Pang Yun agreed to release him immediately and send him to the border.”
“Good, send someone to pick him up for me. I’ll send you the address.”
“Yes, Cult Master.”
Pan Han hung up the phone and cursed again, he just paid the money and they found him, wasn’t that a waste of money?
Giving 300,000 to these bastards would be better than buying food for the people in the apocalypse.
However, Pan Han truly witnessed the Knight Order’s capabilities.
The vastness of their network was appalling!
Just one phone call, and they could get someone back.
“Damn it, the Knight Order wouldn’t be colluding with the Myanmar Northern Region, would they? If I find out, I’ll slaughter all those sons of bitches.” Pan Han thought this, but it was definitely a later matter; he didn’t have time to research these things now.
He quickly came out to tell the news to his aunt and other family members.
Now it was the family members’ turn to be confused.
“Nephew, are those bad guys really that trustworthy? They release people as soon as they get the money?”
“Mm-hmm, I guess we’re just luckier.” Pan Han didn’t plan to tell them about the Knight Order’s connections, he could only buy a reason with money.
