Chapter 1,699 Rescue

1699

A few minutes later, screams rang out from Room 2012 on the second floor of the motel, accompanied by several gunshots.

When all the noise subsided, Xu Taiping walked out of the room together with Lu Damin, who was pale and bruised.

In the room, several kidnappers had fallen to the ground. Xu Taiping had just called the police. It won't be long before the police arrive.

For Xu Taiping, the only difficult part in rescuing Lu Damin was finding the robbers. As long as he found the robbers, everything would become easy.

Lu Damin followed Xu Taiping as he walked out. He was still a little confused. He never expected that Xu Taiping would suddenly appear, knock down all the robbers in two or two, and save him.

Lu Damin had been desperate before, because the robbers had already planned to break up the fight, saying that his father refused to pay the ransom of 20 million US dollars. Unexpectedly, when the robbers were discussing how to deal with his body, Xu Taiping appeared and rescued him. Got him.

Lu Damin could not describe that feeling in detail in his life. He only felt that his hands and feet were trembling all the time, half because of fear, and half because of excitement and excitement.

Downstairs, Xu Taiping found the robbers' car.

"Get in the car." Xu Taiping said as he got into the driver's seat.

Lu Damin quickly got into the passenger seat, and then the two of them headed towards Luo City together.

"Brother Xu, thank you." Lu Damin turned to look at Xu Taiping. Only then did he regain his composure, and had the strength to thank Xu Taiping.

"It's a small matter." Xu Taiping waved his hand and said, "You didn't bring a bodyguard with you tonight?"

"I did, but only one. There were three bodyguards before." Lu Damin said.

"Then why did it become one?" Xu Taiping asked.

"That woman said it would be a waste to have three bodyguards." Lu Damin said.

"Oh? That woman?" Xu Taiping raised his eyebrows.

"She is my father's wife. I am an illegitimate child. My mother used to be my father's secretary." Lu Damin explained.

"That's it!" Xu Taiping suddenly realized.

"I heard that my father doesn't plan to pay the ransom, right?" Lu Damin asked.

"This is your father putting pressure on the Los Angeles police. If it comes to that, there is no way he will not pay the ransom." Xu Taiping said.

"Come on." Lu Damin smiled helplessly and said, "How could my dad be willing to pay 20 million U.S. dollars for me? Even if he was willing, his wife wouldn't be willing to do it. 20 million U.S. dollars would cost 20 million U.S. dollars if converted into RMB. 1.3 billion is too much."

"Don't think so much, you are safe now." Xu Taiping said.

"Hey!" Lu Damin sighed, feeling much calmer at this time because of the joy of being rescued.

Xu Taiping didn't say much. Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Lu Damin seemed to be living a good life abroad, but looking at the situation at home, he was equivalent to being exiled. When he was exiled, his family was not at ease. No matter how you care, what's the use of such a life no matter how rich the material is? Moreover, his father is not even willing to pay a ransom of 20 million US dollars for him, which is so chilling.

Xu Taiping didn't want to say anything more, because saying too much would touch the weakest part of people's hearts. If that's the case, then don't say anything.

Xu Taiping drove Lu Damin back to Luo City and went directly to the police station.

The police station is naturally very happy that Lu Damin was rescued. After all, Lu Damin is Chinese. If he is really beaten, they will be under a lot of pressure. For now, Lu Damin is safe and sound, which is the best.

After taking notes at the police station, Lu Damin was let go.

Xu Taiping and Lu Damin had just walked out of the police station. They had already been notified by Xu Taiping. Jennifer, who was waiting outside the police station, and Jennifer's interview team all surrounded them.

Lu Damin was kidnapped, which caused quite a shock in the Chinese community. In addition to the Los Angeles police, many people were actually paying attention to this case and were nervous about Lu Damin, especially after hearing that Lu Damin's father, Lu When Kang was not going to pay the ransom, many people were not only nervous but also sympathetic to Lu Damin. Now that Lu Damin was rescued, Jennifer rushed over with the interview team. On the one hand, she naturally wanted to report on Lu Damin's rescue. The thing, on the other hand, was to come here to promote Xu Taiping.

This matter of promoting Xu Taiping was thought of by Xu Taiping himself, and he also called Jennifer.

From Xu Taiping's point of view, he is now far away in the United States, promoting the movie. If during the movie promotion period, he bravely broke into the tiger's den and rescued a kidnapped international student in China, then this would definitely be worthy of special mention.

In the past, Xu Taiping felt that he should be low-key when doing things, but this time he wanted to promote a movie. The more high-profile he was, the more attention the movie would receive. Therefore, Xu Taiping would not give up any opportunity to promote himself. After he entered the police station He had already contacted Jennifer before and told her his thoughts.

Jennifer is naturally very willing to report this matter. This kidnapping case has caused a huge response in the Chinese circle. It can be said that if Lu Damin is outvoted, it will definitely cause a huge shock in the Chinese circle, while Xu Taiping is alone He saved Lu Damin and prevented Lu Damin from being criticized. This kind of heroism will definitely move many people. If he mentions a few words about the movie when the time comes, then how much attention will Xu Taiping’s movies receive? , will definitely improve a lot again based on the original.

This is of great benefit to Xu Taiping and the entire film team.

So, naturally, Xu Taiping and Lu Damin accepted Jennifer's interview. Xu Taiping told in detail how he went into danger alone to rescue Lu Damin, while Lu Damin testified for Xu Taiping and proved what Xu Taiping had done. Everything is true.

The interview lasted for more than half an hour and ended. Jennifer immediately took the interview materials and left with her people. They were going to hand them over to the TV station for broadcast immediately after editing and production.

It's about nine o'clock in the evening.

Xu Taiping took Lu Damin to the Kelmos Hotel.

At this time, the news about Lu Damin's rescue had actually reached here. However, when everyone saw that Lu Damin was standing in front of everyone basically safe and sound, everyone still burst into cheers.

Lu Damin was kidnapped. This did not cause any waves in white society at all, but in the entire Chinese society, it made countless Chinese worried about it. Now, Lu Damin is fine, and everyone's excitement and joy are naturally natural. .

The dinner officially started at around nine o'clock.

Everyone cheered and Lu Damin had completely recovered at that time. He quickly put the matter behind him and started having fun with the Chinese people around him.

"You have done a great thing this time." Guo Yunpeng stood next to Xu Taiping and said, "So far this year, there have been a total of six kidnapping cases. Only this one has been solved and the criminals have been arrested. This will definitely shock some people.”

"Well!" Xu Taiping nodded and said, "Why didn't I help Lu Damin pay the ransom of 20 million this time, but I went to rescue Lu Damin personally? In order to let those who have bad intentions towards the Chinese know that we Although the Chinese are overseas, they are not easy to bully."

"It's really hard for you. The police don't have any information about those people, but you already know where they are hiding. How amazing!" Guo Yunpeng praised.

"That's nothing." Xu Taiping smiled and said, "I just have a lot of friends."

"I really envy you!" Guo Yunpeng said seriously, "I don't have many friends, and some of them are friends with me because they ask for help from me. I really hope that I can have more friends as I get older. , there are really fewer and fewer friends.”

"Friends lie in essence, not in abundance." Xu Taiping said.

"You're right! By the way, don't forget the party tomorrow!" Guo Yunpeng said.

"I forgot nothing, so I can't forget tomorrow's party!" Xu Taiping said with a smile.

The evening passed with good wine and delicious food.

Lu Damin's kidnapping was quickly forgotten.

The arrest of the robbers has stabilized the hearts of the Chinese in Los Angeles to a great extent, because in the previous five kidnapping cases, the robbers were not caught. Many people suspected that the robbers were all the same group of people, and now, the third The kidnappers were caught in six kidnapping cases. If the robbers were all the same group of people, then there should not be any seventh or eighth kidnapping cases.

Although Xu Taiping only saved one person, as Guo Yunpeng said, he calmed the hearts of many Chinese people.

In the dead of night, everyone dispersed.

Lu Damin was not in a hurry to leave. After everyone left, Lu Damin found Xu Taiping alone.

"I forgot to ask you today... why... why did you spend so much effort to save me?" Lu Damin asked.

"Why? Then let me ask you, why did you help me before?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Because we are all Chinese." Lu Damin said.

"Me too, because we are all Chinese." Xu Taiping smiled and patted Lu Damin on the shoulder and said, "We are strangers in a foreign land. When we go abroad, we should help each other."

"I understand, thank you!" Lu Damin solemnly nodded to Xu Taiping.

"You're welcome!"

A night of silence.

Xu Taiping was not in a hurry to find Quinn. At noon the next day, Xu Taiping took a taxi to Third Avenue alone.

Still in that house.

Still in that room.

The room was still filled with smoke.

"I have completed what I should do. Now, is it your turn, Mr. Xu?" Quinn asked Xu Taiping with a smile.

"I will naturally do what I promised you." Xu Taiping said with a smile, "However, I have to wait until my trip is over before I can complete our agreement."

"There's no rush." ​​Quinn said with a smile, "A week later, all the gangs in the United States will hold a gang conference. At that time, in addition to the gangs, arms dealers, drug lords, all these people will show up. Rockefy will leave his lair, and you will have enough time to prepare well. I believe you will be able to kill Rockefy."

"Will do."
