Lin Yuan had lived a cautious life for half his years, never expecting that disaster would strike while he was at home.
Last year, Zhang Biao sent someone to him, wanting to invest in his cloth shop. But Lin Yuan was a respectable businessman and dared not engage in business with such a bully. He politely declined the offer.
Little did he know that this would offend Zhang Biao. His own son was kidnapped! Five Hundred Thousand Taels of Silver—where could he possibly gather such an amount? Now, he could only place all his hopes on Chu Feng. Yet, the person sent by Chu Feng was so young; could they really handle this? In desperation, he had no other choice.
“Boss Lin, let’s cut to the chase,” Su Han said as soon as he saw Lin Yuan, diving straight into the matter. “I’ve talked to Zhang Biao; he has lowered the ransom. You have seven days to prepare Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Taels of Silver.”
“Captain Su, it’s not that I, Lin Yuan, am greedy for money; I truly cannot come up with that amount,” Lin Yuan replied, looking haggard. “If there were a way, I would risk my life without hesitation.”
Wang Wu chimed in from the side, “Captain Su, I can testify that during the border crisis years ago, Boss Lin was the first merchant in Linjiang City to generously offer financial aid, which even affected his business funds.”
Oh? A patriotic merchant? Su Han nodded slightly. “I am aware of Boss Lin’s patriotic actions. In this vast world, how can we allow those bullies to act recklessly? Boss Lin, I will definitely find a way to rescue your son.”
After a brief pause, he continued, “Boss Lin, tell me honestly, how much can you gather right now?”
Lin Yuan answered without hesitation, “I can mobilize all my funds from the capital and Jiangzhou. Additionally, I sold a workshop in South City at a low price and gathered jewelry and silver items. Altogether, I have raised Eight Hundred Thirty Thousand Taels of Silver and some silver notes. As for my properties in Linjiang City, they are hard to sell due to Zhang Biao’s influence. Captain Su, I am willing to offer all my wealth just to ensure my son’s safety; I beg you.”
“That’s enough; you won’t need that much,” Su Han glanced at the sky. “Boss Lin, if you trust me, give me One Hundred Thousand Taels of Silver immediately. Within a few days, I will bring your son back unharmed!”
“Alright, alright! Please wait a moment; I have Ten Thousand Taels in cash at home. For the rest, I will write you a check.”
Taking advantage of this moment, Wang Wu shared all the information he had gathered about the the Zhang Family with Su Han.
Zhang Biao had three sons and two daughters. Among them, his most favored was his second son, Zhang Yaozu. This young man was just as lecherous as his father and was known as a notorious playboy in Linjiang City.
He was unwilling to stay in the remote area of the west side of the city. In the bustling Qingfeng Street of Linjiang City, there was a large mansion, usually guarded by four bodyguards who were never far from him.
After explaining the situation, Wang Wu lowered his voice and asked, "Captain Su, are you planning to take action against Zhang Yaozu?"
The chef was indeed clever.
Su Han smiled slightly and replied, "Yes, but not entirely. This time, I not only want to rescue Lin Yuan but also eliminate Zhang Biao, this scourge, from Linjiang City."
Wang Wu was taken aback.
Su Han had just arrived in Linjiang City and was unfamiliar with the place. With Zhang Biao's tight security, it would be extremely difficult to infiltrate his home. What made him think he could eliminate Zhang Biao?
Lin Yuan had given him ten thousand taels of silver in cash and had also issued several silver notes as requested.
Su Han hurried back to Wang Wu's tavern. By this time, night had fallen.
He instructed Wang Wu to stop operations and close the main door, leaving only the side door open. Then he told Lin Yu and the others to return to the inn to rest, leaving just himself and Wang Wu in the tavern, even sending the shopkeeper away.
Wang Wu was filled with curiosity and truly could not understand what this captain was planning to do.
