Billionaire: You're Telling Me You're the Crown Prince of Kyoto

99: Father kidnapped, 100 million US dollarsThe cooperation was finalized.

The Grand Elder also arranged for the Official Authorities’ Research and Development Department personnel.

The Official Authorities’ Research and Development Department personnel were led by Qin Lingwei.

Their purpose was to assist and supervise.

The next day, Jiang Chuan also received the list of Research and Development Department personnel and their areas of expertise.

Finally, Jiang Chuan began to select the specific individuals.

Controlled Nuclear Fusion was led by Zhou Xun, an Expert in nuclear fusion who had researched it for a long time.

The super aircraft carrier was led by Qin Lingwei and Zhang Zhiming.

Zhang Zhiming had previously participated in the us dollars’ super aircraft carrier project; although his involvement wasn’t deep, he had experience in this area.

”These are the blueprints for the super aircraft carrier.”

”These are the blueprints for Controlled Nuclear Fusion.”

”I hope both of you can successfully develop them in the shortest possible time.”

Jiang Chuan called Zhang Zhiming and Zhou Xun and directly told them their objective.

”Ah!”

Upon hearing Jiang Chuan’s words and looking at the blueprints he handed them, both men exclaimed in surprise, staring at Jiang Chuan in disbelief. They quickly opened the blueprints and found that the two sets of drawings were indeed for a super aircraft carrier and Controlled Nuclear Fusion.

At this moment, their gazes towards Jiang Chuan became filled with shock and incredulity.

A super aircraft carrier is a strategic weapon that no country would ever leak. As for Controlled Nuclear Fusion, it is still in the theoretical stage, and no country has mastered it yet.

”You can choose the members of the research team yourselves; my only requirement is that the personnel must be loyal!”

”Next, you will cooperate with the Official Authorities to research these two projects. Of course, these two projects will be led by our Tianxia Group, but you also need to discuss more with the Official Authorities’ personnel, especially the Official Authorities’ team leader. You must show respect, understand?”

Jiang Chuan naturally did not explain the source of the blueprints and directly instructed them.

”We understand, President Jiang.”

Both men already knew Jiang Chuan’s true identity, so they respectfully replied.

”Alright, you two go make the arrangements. The Official Authorities’ personnel will contact you then, and they will arrange the specific research location for you.”

Jiang Chuan asked them to leave the office, taking with them the complete blueprints he had prepared.

”Yes, President Jiang.”

The two men left the office excitedly with the blueprints, immediately seeking out their team members, intending to research these two projects together. As long as these two research projects succeeded, they would surely become famous, perhaps even leaving their names in history.

After Jiang Chuan arranged matters for the Research and Development Department, he also informed Qin Lingwei about it, telling her to contact the two directly.

Qin Lingwei smiled and agreed. She was also busy screening specific personnel to start researching the two projects as soon as possible.

Three days later.

The projects were fully launched.

Tianxia Group invested 20 billion us dollars in the early stages to ensure the smooth progress of both projects, without any worries!

As the projects began, Qin Lingwei also became completely busy, with no time to contact Jiang Chuan.

To ensure the safety of the project team, Qin Lingwei even directly prohibited anyone from using personal mobile phones, instead providing exclusive mobile phones. These exclusive phones could not contact the outside world or access the internet; they could only contact internal personnel.

Although some people were dissatisfied with Qin Lingwei’s actions, they understood the importance of the two projects and ultimately had no choice but to silently agree.

Jiang Wenli also became busy. The matters he and the Grand Elder were busy with were naturally the resources for the two projects. This matter could not be exposed for the time being, so they needed to consider many details to avoid being known by outsiders.

Jiang Chuan knew that Jiang Wenli and Qin Lingwei had started to get busy, and he had nothing else to do, so he planned to return to Jiangbei City. Suddenly, he received a call from his father, and a smile appeared on his face as he joked, ”Dad, why do you have time to call me, your second son, today?”

”You need to send money immediately to help your family.”

”Who are you? What do you mean?”

Jiang Chuan’s brows instantly furrowed upon hearing this, and he questioned with a grim expression.

”To save your family… transfer the money immediately… otherwise, I will let you see his corpse!”

The other party, realizing Jiang Chuan didn’t understand what he was saying, spoke in broken, disjointed Chinese.

Swish!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan instantly realized his father had been kidnapped. His face immediately turned terrifyingly cold, and his eyes revealed an extreme killing intent.

”I must see my father safe, otherwise, I will not transfer any money to you!”

Jiang Chuan said coldly.

”OK.”

The kidnapper heard Jiang Chuan’s demand, remained silent for a moment, and then agreed.

Soon, both parties initiated a video call. Through the phone screen, Jiang Chuan finally saw his father for the first time. However, the sight he witnessed tore at his heart—his father’s mouth was sealed with tape, preventing him from speaking; his limbs were tightly bound to a dilapidated chair, his body unable to move; his clothes were tattered, and faint marks of beatings were visible on his body, making him appear exceptionally haggard.

”Dad!”

Jiang Chuan looked at his father’s tragic state on the screen, tears instantly blurred his vision, and he couldn’t help but shout loudly.

”Xiao Chuan...”

His father also saw Jiang Chuan through the video, his eyes filled with pain and helplessness, his lips trembling slightly, but due to the tape’s restraint, he couldn’t utter any words.

Jiang Chuan watched his father, tormented beyond recognition, and the rage in his heart erupted like a volcano. His fists were tightly clenched, nails digging deep into his palms, blood flowing down his fingers. But he still suppressed the urge, because he knew now was not the time for impulsiveness; he had to calm down and find a way to save his father.

”Tell me, what are your conditions?”

Jiang Chuan took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice calm, but the coldness in his eyes sent shivers down one’s spine.

”It’s simple. As long as you transfer one hundred million us dollars to this designated account, we will release him!”

The kidnapper said triumphantly, as if victory was already in his grasp. They seemed to believe that Jiang Chuan would meekly comply, after all, who could bear to see their loved ones suffer?

However, Jiang Chuan did not panic or rage as they had imagined. Instead, the corners of his mouth slightly curved upwards, revealing a cold smile: ”I have the money, but how can I be sure that you will release my father after receiving it?”

The kidnappers clearly hadn’t expected Jiang Chuan to be so calm. They exchanged glances, and then one of them spoke, ”We can guarantee that as soon as you transfer the money to the designated account, we will immediately release your father.”

”Words are not enough. Unless you release my family first, and then give me three days to prepare the funds.”

”Kid, don’t push your luck! We absolutely cannot release him before the money arrives. We will only release him after the money is in the account.”

”I can give you three days to prepare. Within these three days, I can video call you every day to let you know your family’s situation. Once I detect any unusual activity from you, I will kill this old man immediately!”

The kidnapper, hearing Jiang Chuan’s words, looked at him indifferently and said coldly.

”Okay, I will raise one hundred million us dollars within three days. During these three days, you must ensure my father’s safety and do nothing to him, otherwise I will reduce the payment!”

Jiang Chuan finished speaking coldly, and the kidnapper immediately hung up the phone.
