The Whole City is Mobilized!

The World in Uproar!

The sudden blockbuster news truly left countless people in shock.

Especially for the news media industry, this was simply a super heavyweight event!

Huge news!

They must hurry to release articles, rush to publish news, and seize the first wave of trending traffic.

But the problem is…

Until recently, the main focus of major news outlets and public opinion was still on Wu Jie’s “Destroying the Black Operation.”

This was a major event that impacted the daily lives of hundreds of millions of netizens, attracting intense interest domestically and abroad.

Thus, the news media industry was all busy reporting on this matter.

The ordinary public didn’t even know what ‘cyber black markets’ were, let alone their dangers, why there was a large-scale clampdown, or the legal basis behind Wu Jie’s actions…

The more the public was curious and concerned, the more newsworthy the event proved to be.

As a result, numerous news media and a great number of public accounts were scrambling for hot topics and traffic.

With simple explanations and extensive citations, specialized commentary…

they frantically burned brain cells over “Destroying the Black Operation,” writing articles and reports, creating special segments—truly busy as can be.

But who could have known…

While Wu Jie’s causing such a tsunami-like major event, still in full swing and the center of attention,

his wife, Tang Xiao, a renowned beauty and CEO famous the world over, was forcefully kidnapped from the underground garage of her own community.

Compared to “Destroying the Black Operation,” this case of “CEO Kidnapping” was obviously more explosive, more shocking, more unbelievable.

What kind of heartless, audacious person would do such a thing?

With what motive did the kidnappers break into Tianyuan’s highest-end residential community to abduct someone?

And in such a large community teeming with the wealthy, why did they specifically target Tang Xiao?

Wu Jie and Tang Xiao, the couple, were well-known as philanthropists, entrepreneurs, and the world’s richest.

The couple contributed significantly to the nation and its people, offering high-paying jobs to over a hundred thousand people, leading to the vigorous development of various industries.

It could be said that thanks to the couple, the recent economic takeoff and surge in national power of Liuli Continent were indispensable…

So if the kidnappers abducted Tang Xiao and did not kill her on the spot, what were they after?

Was it for kidnapping and ransom, seeking financial profit?

Given Tang Xiao’s special status and her family’s immense wealth, would they demand an astronomical ransom?

Back then, when a certain real estate magnate’s precious son was kidnapped, the kidnappers demanded a billion in ransom, causing a sensation.

Now, with Tang Xiao kidnapped, would the kidnappers ask Wu Jie for even more money?

Tens of billions?

Hundreds of billions?

The couple was already wealthy enough to rival nations, affording any amount of billions would be no issue.

But a bank transfer would be impossible, too easy to track, and as for cash…

A billion in cash weighs over a ton; tens of billions would weigh tens of tons.

How would the kidnappers take it away?

Arrange a heavy-duty trailer to haul the cash away?

Because of this, many believed that the kidnappers were probably not after monetary gain.

Everyone knew that although the couple was mortal, they were far from ordinary.

To Tianyuan City, and the whole country, both husband and wife were too important.

The kidnappers who took Tang Xiao clearly knew that this case would absolutely shock the world and enrage the authorities.

Even with the full force of the nation, they would rescue Tang Xiao and bring the kidnappers to justice.

Daring to commit such a staggering crime, this proved that the kidnappers must have demands more outrageous and audacious than money.

Could it be they wanted Wu Jie to hand over the production formula for the Detox Pill?

But now, Tang’s Pharmaceuticals in Tianyuan is continuously increasing the production capacity of the Detox Pill, nearing a daily production of ten million pills.

Rarity adds value.

And yet, the Detox Pill is not some panacea that cures all illnesses.

Even if it has detoxifying, beauty-preserving properties, and can absorb harmful substances and cure various diseases, the output has become too large.

The production in a day could already meet the needs of millions of people.

Though there are over seven billion people worldwide, who would be silly enough to eat Detox Pills like food?

As a result, the price of Detox Pills has been falling continuously, already nearly dropping below a thousand yuan.

Experts estimate that with the market demand becoming saturated and production further increasing, the price is expected to drop below a hundred yuan within a month.

By the end of the year, it might even ‘degrade’ to a few dozen yuan per pill, or just a few yuan per pill.

Why would the kidnappers risk everything for the Detox Pill, which is constantly decreasing in value?

In contrast,

The other highly profitable product of Tanglong Industrial Group, the “Graphene Composite Battery,” is truly immeasurable in value.

Because of this advanced-performance, reliable battery, electric vehicles for the first time surpass the performance of fuel cars, and with simpler structures, cheaper maintenance, plus the countrywide setup of battery swap stations where swapping batteries is faster than refueling…

Especially since electric vehicles are a new energy source, not subject to license plate restrictions or traffic restrictions, easier to obtain plates in mega-cities, coupled with various incentives, and indeed they represent an energy-saving, emission-reducing, green mode of transport, so the growth of electric vehicles in Liuli Continent has been explosive…

In the past, when the automobile industry lagged behind, reliant on technology imports and Sino-foreign joint ventures, people tended to prefer buying joint venture or even imported cars.

But now things have changed.

Since going on sale, the group’s subsidiary, Tianyuan Green Energy Auto, through independent research, production, and joint venture investments—sedans, sports cars, SUVs, buses, taxis, trucks—are crazily eating up the fuel car market.

Liuli Continent has achieved an “overtake on the curve” in the electric vehicle industry, significantly reducing the demand for oil, and continuously causing oil prices to plummet.

If not for the number of fuel vehicles not yet phased out, ships and airplanes still needing to burn fuel, and the chemical uses of oil, it’s estimated the oil prices could drop even worse.

Therefore, the “Graphene Composite Battery,” which caused major changes in the energy and transportation industries, naturally became a much sought-after item, with demand continuing to skyrocket.

If one could get their hands on its formula and manufacturing process, it obviously would be more lucrative than directly demanding billions in ransom—it could turn a larger profit.

But the problem is…

This battery has unique patents, exclusive production; if someone gained information in this manner and produced the same batteries, wouldn’t the whole world know that this enterprise was an accomplice of the kidnappers?

Then the batteries produced would inevitably face mass boycotts.

The company might even be shut down for investigation.

Wouldn’t this be the classic case of “confessing without being coerced”?

…

So…

Cash is too heavy and not convenient to carry and transport.

The price of Detox Pills was continuously dropping, so there was no need to demand them.

Graphene Composite Batteries were too special; even if obtained, they’d be a hot potato, not worth demanding.

So what did the kidnapper really want?

Was it to seek other benefits in exchange?

If it was just to lash out and take revenge on Wu Jie, then Tang Xiao should have been attacked and killed at the scene.

Of course, it couldn’t be excluded that the kidnapper wanted to abduct Tang Xiao, insult her in various ways, then kill her brutally, using extremely vicious methods to firmly take revenge on Wu Jie.

But no matter what…

The moment this case broke out, it rapidly caused an uproar and shocked the entire world.

Without much thought, everyone should know that such a shocking case naturally enraged the higher-ups.

In their fury, they would resort to ‘every possible means.’

Tianyuan City seemed as if surrounded, with train and air travel halted, roads closed, vehicle traffic forbidden, and a large police and military presence swiftly undertaking an extensive, integrated air and ground, carpet-style strict search.

Moreover, large numbers of citizens took to the streets voluntarily, searching everywhere, not overlooking any place a vehicle could park, including all major malls, hotels, and apartment complexes.

Tang Xiao’s white Mercedes-Benz G550 SUV was, after all, not in huge supply and, with its rugged and majestic look, very easy to spot at a glance.

All major TV and radio stations had stopped all news, entertainment, and advertisements, continuously broadcasting the warrant and calling on the public to provide timely information.

To find Tang Xiao, nearly the entire city of Tianyuan mobilized.

Elder Tan treated the case like a major battle, ordering the rapid deployment of a considerable police and military force from neighboring provinces, cities, and counties to rush to Tianyuan’s aid.

Even if it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, they had to find that car!

And with such a sensational and vile case, countless people felt indignant, yet some were still elated.

There were even those on the ‘Anti-Black Operation’ special network who were crazily shouting and openly sneering.

“Haha, someone’s been furiously sweeping the internet underworld, causing my account to be banned and funds frozen.

Serves him right now, doesn’t it?”

“What goes around comes around.

The timing just wasn’t right.

These kidnappers are so badass, they totally smacked someone in the face with power!”

“I’ve confirmed the photos and videos, she indeed looks like a nation’s calamity-level beauty, those kidnappers sure got lucky!”

“Looking so good and with such a great figure, yet she went out alone, she was asking to be abducted!”

“If they suddenly find the body, after being abused countless times and chopped into pieces…

Haha, I wouldn’t be laughing!”

“To find one person, they actually locked down a city.

When ordinary people go missing, why doesn’t it cause such a big fuss?”

“The fact proves, having money not only lets you do as you please, but also puts you above others!”

…

As public opinion boiled over, various sharp and extreme comments were like pouring water into a hot pot, completely exploding.

In reality, at any time, about any person or event, there are always differing opinions online.

For keyboard warriors and mindless trolls, no matter how most people see it or what they say, they always sing a contrary tune, finding fault in everything.

They go against the mainstream social ideology and stand completely opposed to the thoughts and opinions of the general public…

Such attention-seeking and impudent speech seemed to be for some inexplicable satisfaction, to make others feel they were different.

But at such a critical juncture…

Such shocking and outrageous comments from these people angered many netizens.

Wu Jie fought against villains, purified the internet, and eradicated the online black market that caused significant harm to many; what fault did he commit?

Why, when his wife Tang Xiao was abducted, instead of helping to look for clues, would they celebrate maliciously and curse venomously?

When the Sakuragi Hana virus epidemic overflowed, when many were severely ill and longing for a cure, who developed the Detox Pill?

Who offered it for free to the domestic public for treatment?

Having no gratitude was one thing, but they also lacked any moral integrity, heartless and ungrateful.

Enraged!

Completely furious!

Countless netizens were so infuriated that besides furiously cursing back, they began earnestly ‘doxxing.’

They wanted to drag out those who were kicking others when they were down, cursing viciously, and speaking impudently, and give them a thrashing.

Taking advantage of the numerous social media bans and frozen bank accounts, and with nothing else to do, it was high time to dig up these scoundrels.

An online battle of public opinion fiercely ignited.

And in the search for Tang Xiao’s whereabouts and to capture the kidnapper, many people also combed through Tianyuan’s streets and alleys.

Because it was broad daylight when the kidnapper left the community in Tang Xiao’s Mercedes SUV.

Tianyuan Haoting Community was located in a busy area of the city, where there were many traffic surveillance cameras along the way.

A vast amount of surveillance footage was retrieved for analysis and search.

Using the license plate number and vehicle characteristics, extensive technical methods were employed in a rigorous search.

Eventually, the last known area where the distinctive Mercedes-Benz G550 SUV disappeared was identified.

Hundreds of police officers and eager civilians surrounded the old and outdated community.

The Mercedes SUV was soon found, hidden in a small alley where household rubbish was stored in the corner of the community.

The tall courtyard walls and lush tree branches obscured the SUV, so numerous helicopters and drones patrolling the air had missed it.

The kidnapper must have left in too much of a hurry, as there was no sign of anyone inside the vehicle, nor evidence of destruction.

However, it was certain that the kidnapper was either still hiding in this old community or someone had met with him and they had switched to another vehicle to escape.

The car was found, but the person was gone.

Everyone involved in the case immediately carried out a thorough search of the entire community and started looking for surveillance and questioning residents.

And at that moment.

The joint task force that had been established for the Lin Yuan disappearance case and the corporate mailbox of Tanglong Industrial Group

simultaneously received an anonymous email sent by the kidnappers…
