Jasper was not worried that he would not
find Wendy.
Just as he said, Harbor City was small, but
7.5 million people were packed into such a
tiny place.
Hence, in Harbor City, so long as there
was enough money and enough
manpower, it would be impossible for him
to not find any clues unless Wendy
disappeared from this world.
With the resources and abilities that
Jasper currently had, he could find those
bold kidnappers in the shortest time as
long as there was even the slightest clue.
What he was worried about now was that
Wendy might encounter some unexpected
events.
Mr. McNeal’s analysis was very
reasonable, and Jasper figured that these
kidnappers must have kidnapped Wendy
because of him and would not do anything
to Wendy. After all, she still had to remain
in their hands to act as a bargaining chip to threaten him.
However, it was better to be safe than
sorry.
Harbor City was notoriously chaotic ten years back. There was a thief of the century who covered himself with bombs and swaggered over to abduct Half-the Harbor Langdon’s son. Then, he swaggered to Half-the-Harbor Langdon t o ask for ‘pocket money’. It was hard to say whether another equally mentally-ill person was at work here.
If that was the case, it would not help even if Jasper sliced that person into pieces afterward if something really happened to Wendy.
Mr. McNeal looked at Jasper seriously for a while and seemed to be assured that Jasper was not affected by the sudden blow. Therefore, Mr. McNeal was also slightly relieved.
“I will inform Swallow Capital of this matter as soon as possible. If necessary, w e can deploy the special power of Harbor City directly.”
Mr. McNeal said through gritted teeth.
Right now, Jasper’s importance was self
evident.
Neither Swallow Capital nor he wanted to
see any accidents surrounding Jasper.
Thus, if the situation was urgent, he
would persuade Swallow Capital to
directly use the armed forces.
“No.”
Unexpectedly, Jasper refused.
As Mr. McNeal looked at him with
stunned eyes, Jasper said, “Our domestic
situation has attracted the attention of
most countries around the world,
especially the United States. The reason
why the United States government is not
involving themselves and only used Wall
Street capital to cause trouble is that
they’re not yet able to bring things up to
the national level.
“And Harbor City is an extremely special
place, Harbor City citizens
govern Harbor
City, which is a rule set by great men.
Harbor City is not a city on the mainland.
Once Swallow Capital uses its power in
Harbor City, it will instantly arouse international public opinion and an uproar. Most importantly, this is tantamount to giving the United States government an excellent excuse.”
When Jasper said this, he continued through gritted teeth, “I will keep this matter under control and solve it through civilian means. I asked for help from the Harbor City government because she went missing in Harbor City. It’s normal if the Harbor City government uses the police or other nation’s mob ruled department to investigate, so no one can say anything about that. However, it will be different if Swallow Capital intervenes, so let me solve it myself.
“If I can’t protect my woman after leading JW to this point and still need help from Swallow Capital, I might as well just quit.”
After Jasper’s words, Mr. McNeal looked a t Jasper deeply. For a long time, he did not say anything. Instead, he patted Jasper on the shoulder heavily.
He had been in the official career for his whole life. Now, 99.99% of ordinary folks
from Somerland could only look up to him but never get to his status in their entire lifetime. Yet, he was educated by Jasper on this sort of thing.
This made Mr. McNeal a little bit emotional, but at the same time, he felt more grateful.
“Pay close attention to it and don’t take the initiative to intervene. However, going overboard will never be tolerated.”
This was the last thing Mr. McNeal said to Jasper before boarding the plane.
After sending away Mr. McNeal, Jasper inhaled sharply and made a call.
“Julian, go to Waterhoof City with your senior in the shortest time possible. We’ll set off to Harbor City immediately.”
This call was made to Julian, who was given a long vacation because of his wedding.
Yes, Julian got married some time ago.
However, at that time, Jasper had a lot on his plate and he could not attend in person, but even so, he prepared everything he should for Julian.
Meanwhile, aside from his elder sister, Julian also had a senior, which Jasper also gave time off to.
Now, Jasper had to interrupt Julian’s wedding leave.
Julian did not hesitate or waste time asking what happened on the other end of the phone. Instead, he immediately replied, “Okay, I will be there in two hours.”
After hanging up, Jasper looked at the dark night sky above the airport, his eyes cold and murderous.
With the rise of his wealth and status, Jasper had seldom been furious, and there were increasingly fewer things worthy of his emotion.
Yet, this time, these people dared to touch Wendy, which was equivalent to provoking Jasper. If these people were not given a painful blow and made to bleed, then this kind of thing might happen again in the future.
This was something Jasper would never
accept.
Harbor City.
Although the night was getting darker, a
piece of news caused a sensation
throughout Harbor City.
In the past two days, Jasper, the boss of J
W, an influential mainland company in
Harbor City, released a reward for all of
society to find a group of kidnappers.
Those who found these kidnappers or
even provided valuable clues could get 100.
million as a reward..
This caused an uproar among the people i
n Harbor City.
It was 100 million.
Moreover, with Jasper’s title of the richest
man in the young generation in the
mainland and also the good news about J
W Company that the news media had
blown up over the past few days, no one
would doubt that this was fake.
However, there was a problem here.
That was, so far, no one knew what the
group of kidnappers looked like. They
only knew that it was a group of
kidnappers of unknown number and
appearance who had kidnapped Wendy,
the president of JW.
Thus, the driver who was still in the
hospital was extremely important as he
might have seen the kidnappers.
Anna and Zachary came to the scene in
person.
Not only that, but the Boyles who received
the news also sent someone over in the
form of Zed.
“How’s the situation?”
Zed asked Anna immediately after
arriving.
Zed was in a bad mood. Originally, the
cooperation with Wendy would make the
Nine Dragon Corporation under his
management take off quickly, but right
now, something so serious had happened.
At this time, Zed wanted to catch that
group of kidnappers and skin them alive.
Anna shook her head and said, “He’s still undergoing an operation. The doctor came out just now and said that they managed to save his life, but it’s hard to say whether they can keep him conscious.”
Zed gritted his teeth and said, “Now we have issued a reward and the TV and broadcast stations are also ready. However, they lack the faces of the kidnapper. It all depends on the driver now.”
At this moment, the lights in the operating room suddenly went out.
The operation was over.
