Emergency in kindergarten 234

  Rich Plaza 18th floor, Zhicheng Group headquarters, Li Ni was reviewing the group's consolidated financial statements for this quarter. The cash flow statement for this month fluctuated greatly, which drew her attention.

  The reason for the fluctuation is that the income of the first phase of the property company has increased significantly. Don't underestimate the property fees, although the first phase of Zhicheng is not a luxury residential area, it is also one of the high-end communities in Jiangbei City. With over 100 buildings and tens of thousands of residents, the monthly property fees are not a small amount. In the past, due to various reasons, the property fees of the first-phase company were always difficult to collect, which was a headache for several senior executives of the group. Unexpectedly, there has been an improvement so soon.

  Li Ni was a meticulous person, remembering the resume of any middle-level cadre in the group, and being able to name ordinary employees she had come into contact with. She was very clear about why the performance of the first branch company was so outstanding, which was inseparable from the efforts of Deputy Manager and Security Minister Liu Ziguang.

  Last time, Liu Ziguang organized a rectification campaign for the public security, urban management, industry and commerce, taxation and other departments to tackle the problem of group renting. The effect was surprisingly good, the owners were satisfied, and the enthusiasm of the employees was also mobilized. It's only September now, but this year's property fees have already been collected by 96%. The achievement is so good that it's hard to believe.

  Tens of millions of cash flowed into the company, solving the urgent need for funds. Li Ni was very satisfied and the board members were also relieved. Of course, the main credit should be attributed to Vice President Lü, who is in charge of real estate at the group level. It was this vice president who had previously said that if the collection rate reached 95%, he would personally go and apologize. Now, with such good performance, this year's dividend bonus is definitely not to be missed.

  Li pressed the bell and called in his assistant Wei Zixuan, saying: "The performance of the first phase is not bad. You draft a commendation letter and announce it to the whole group. Also, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. I want to visit some employees. Draft a list, don't need too many, but must be representative."

  Wei Ziqian responded and left, Li Yan looked at the time and started packing things to pick up her child from kindergarten. Although she was the CEO of a conglomerate, she insisted on picking up her child from school herself, no matter how busy she was, she would take out time to accompany her son. The company was just her career, but her son was everything to her.

  Driving a Volvo on the road, Li Ni suddenly thought of Liu Ziguang. This new employee is almost the annual star of Zhichen Group. If he wants to, he should have greater development, but this person likes to stay in the branch company as a grassroots leader, really can't figure him out.

  Suddenly, Li Ni became worried again, letting Wei Zixuan draft that Mid-Autumn Festival inspection name list, would she omit Liu Ziguo? However, thinking twice, Wei Zixuan is such a clever person, definitely understands the importance of Liu Ziguo to the group, and certainly wouldn't have omitted him.

  It was just rush hour, and the road was slightly congested. Li Rou opened the CD player, playing Maxim's Exodus, listening to the piano music while thinking of her son's adorable smile, a happy smile involuntarily appearing on her face. Her son was five years old, looked like herself, very smart, always getting red flowers in kindergarten.

  Thinking of his son, the congested road didn't seem so unbearable after all. However, the drivers around him started yelling and cursing. The traffic jam had been going on for too long. Even though the light was green, why weren't they moving?

  A shrill and urgent alarm sounded, a string of police cars flashed past with their lights on, followed by two black Iveco police vans and an olive green armed police truck, heading in the direction of Dalian Road. Li Ni's heart suddenly skipped a beat, wondering if something had happened, knowing that her son's kindergarten was located on Dalian Road.

  After the police car passed, the traffic finally resumed smoothly. Li Ni drove hastily and anxiously, with a faint sense of unease in her heart. As expected, when she was about to reach Dalian Road, a police cordon appeared ahead, blocking all traffic. All vehicles had to take a detour.

  Li Ni's heart grew even more uneasy, she steered the wheel onto the sidewalk, stopped the car, picked up her bag and walked quickly forward. When she reached the police cordon, a auxiliary policeman from the police station blocked her way, saying that the police were handling a case and passage was prohibited.

  Li Yan immediately said that her own son was in a kindergarten not far ahead, and asked him to make an exception and let her pass. However, the auxiliary police officer was very stubborn and refused to budge. Li Yan, the president of a large group company, was actually blocked outside by an auxiliary police officer and had no way out.

  However, this didn't deter Li Ni. She often came to pick up her son and knew of a small path that could be taken. So she went around to the side and climbed in through a broken fence in the residential area. A white-collar woman wearing a famous brand suit was climbing over the fence like a little kid. If the employees of Zhicheng Group had seen this, they would have been shocked to death. But at this moment, Li Ni's mind was preoccupied with her son and she didn't care about appearances.

  Just after climbing over the fence, Li Ni's phone rang. She answered it and found that it was her child's kindergarten teacher calling: "Director Li, something has happened, come quickly!"

  The kindergarten teacher's voice was clearly choked with sobs. Li Ni's sixth sense had actually come true! Something had happened to her son!

  Li Ni only felt dizzy and weak all over, her phone slipped to the ground, she didn't care, took off her high heels and held them in her hand, rushing wildly towards Wang You's kindergarten.

  The phone on the ground still transmitted the teacher's voice: "Hello, hello, Director Li, are you there?"

  ……

  At this time, Liu Ziguo was discussing something with Pockmark at the Peace Restaurant. Pockmark wanted to get into real estate development but couldn't find anyone in the industry, so he invited Liu Ziguo over. Although Liu Ziguo was just a property manager, he was still an insider in the real estate company and knew project managers like Mu Sanshui, often running around various construction sites, presumably also an insider.

  Liu Ziguang puffed on his cigar, Scarface puffed on his cigar too. Anyway, Shen Fang went to pick up Niuniu, so the two big smokers could smoke to their heart's content. The room was filled with thick smoke, Liu Ziguang's nonsense was also blowing clouds and mist. Scarface sat in the boss chair, puffing on his cigar, listening to Liu's introduction of real estate, nodding frequently as if he understood.

  Suddenly, the mobile phone on the table started dancing and rang out with the tune "Husband, husband answer the phone". The scar-faced man pulled the cigar out of his mouth, picked up the phone and said: "Wife, what's up?"

  A sudden voice came from the phone, Liu Ziguang only heard a few words "robbery, kidnapping, police, knife", and the scar-faced man suddenly stood up and said: "Fangfang don't worry, I'll be there right away!"

  Liu Ziguang also jumped up and asked: "What's wrong?"

  Boils was undressing while saying: "Something happened at the kindergarten, a madman broke in and kidnapped the kids, NiuNiu is inside too."

  Liu Ziguang didn't say another word, and followed Cicada downstairs. At the same time, the brothers waiting in the restaurant also came down with their tools. Cicada shouted loudly: "This has nothing to do with you, stay home and guard!" Then he got into the driver's seat, Liu Ziguang hadn't even sat steadily in the passenger seat when the car shot out like an arrow from a bowstring.

  Scar's face was pale, his eyes fixed on the road as he drove, his lips tightly pursed and not saying a word. Liu Ziguang didn't speak either, understanding Scar's mood. Last time, Niu Niu had an accident, being held hostage in a bank by Lao San, almost losing her life. Afterwards, when picking up the child, Scar always arranged for two brothers to follow Shen Fang together. Who would have thought that today another incident occurred? Even if it was just a coincidence, it wouldn't happen so frequently, right? It's possible that someone is targeting Scar.

  The principal of Jinbao Baby Kindergarten is even more depressed than Bi Zongzi. This kindergarten is the best private kindergarten in Jiangbei City, with excellent teachers and bilingual teaching. Ordinary families can't afford such high tuition fees, but within just half a year, two terrible incidents have occurred at this kindergarten, leaving her speechless and tearless.

  The first time, someone kidnapped a child at the kindergarten gate and took him to the bank across the street. At that time, all the police in the city were alarmed, and it was a big deal. Although the problem was solved perfectly and the child was safe and sound, it also sounded an alarm for the kindergarten, and safety issues could not be ignored. From then on, the kindergarten paid more attention to the children's safety issues and would never let strangers take away the children. They must show their pick-up certificates and go through parental phone verification before they can enter the garden. Moreover, no one or any vehicle is allowed to enter the garden area. For this reason, the kindergarten even hired two security guards to guard the gate.

  At 4:30 this afternoon, a young man came to the kindergarten gate and said he wanted to pick up his child. The security guard saw that he was a stranger and asked him to show his pick-up certificate. This person suddenly became violent, pulled out a dagger and stabbed the security guard, another security guard was so scared that he didn't dare to move. The man took advantage of the situation and rushed into the kindergarten, wielding a sharp blade and abducting all the middle-class students and teachers who were still in class.

  The kindergarten immediately called the police and a 110 patrol car arrived at the scene within five minutes. However, due to the complexity of the situation, they did not dare to rush in either, and could only request support from their superiors.

  Because the kindergarten security guard said that he seemed to see a dozen or so rod-shaped objects tied together on the person's chest, as well as red and green wires, the police judged that it was likely to be a detonator!

  The police immediately activated the emergency plan, dispatched special police, armed police, negotiation experts, and police officers from the police station, as well as auxiliary police to block roads, evacuate crowds, and minimize losses.

  At the same time, let the kindergarten inform the parents of the children to try to find out the motive behind the kidnapper's crime, this is the key to cracking the case.

  Li Ni ran frantically to the kindergarten gate, where a police car had already been parked in a circle. In a command vehicle filled with antennas, municipal leaders were making emergency deployments. A high-ranking police officer wearing a white shirt saw Li Ni trying to break through the cordon and hastily called out to his subordinates: "Go bring that female comrade over."

  The white-shirted police officer was none other than the deputy director of the municipal bureau's criminal investigation department, Song Jianfeng. He naturally knew Li Ni, a prominent figure in Jiangbei City's business circle, but this wasn't the time for idle chatter. He got straight to the point: "Director Li, there is currently a hijacker at the kindergarten who has explosives on him and is holding a controlled knife. He has taken thirty children and one teacher hostage. I know your son is also inside, but I still hope you can remain calm and cooperate with our work."

  "What do I need to do?" Li Yan blurted out.

  "Do you know this person?" Song Jianfeng took out a photo, which was taken by the sniper with a telephoto lens.

  "It's him!" Li Ni exclaimed.
