Thirty-five years ago today, on April 10, 1990 (March 15, 1990), Hong Kong's most bizarre plutocratic kidnapping case: Wong Tak-fai vanished. Hong Kong is known as one of the safest cities in the world, and there have also been a series of sensational kidnappings. Especially in the 1980s and 1990s, there were not a few rich and famous people kidnapped, and the ransom was casually over 100 million yuan. Li Ka-shing's son Li Zeju was kidnapped by Zhang Ziqiang and paid 1.038 billion Hong Kong dollars, a Guinness record, Hong Kong's second richest man Guo Bingxiang was kidnapped by Zhang Ziqiang and paid 600 million Hong Kong dollars. After his release, Wang Dehui, who was targeted twice, was blackmailed 11 million and 60 million US dollars... The most bizarre of these is the Wang Dehui kidnapping case. Wang Dehui was kidnapped for the second time as if he had disappeared from the world. Even the kidnappers did not know his whereabouts, and his wife Gong Ruxin could not find anyone else until her death. Wang Dehui, born in Shanghai, co-founded "Chinachem Real Estate" with his wife Gong Ruxin in 1960. By the 1970s, Chinachem Group had become one of the largest private real estate developers in Hong Kong. In the 1980s, Hong Kong was in a period of unrest before the handover, and many underworld forces targeted the rich. In April 1983, Wang Dehui and Gong Ruxin were driving to work at the independent garden bungalow on the Peak. They were kidnapped by several gangsters. The gangsters put Wang Dehui in a large refrigerator and transported him back to the gangster's den. They released Gong Ruxin and asked her to prepare a huge sum of money for ransom. After 11 million US dollars were remitted to the designated Taiwanese bank account, Wang Dehui was released. The case caused a sensation throughout South East Asia at the time, and Wang Dehui and Gong Ruxin, who were originally low-key, became famous overnight. Wang Dehui made a false alarm, and then installed tracking devices on the soles of his shoes. But seven years later, bad luck came again. On April 10, 1990, Wang Dehui returned to the hilltop mansion after playing squash. When he encountered a malfunction on the way to stop, he was suddenly put to his head with a gun, put on the car and fled. After arriving at the dock, Wang Dehui was stuffed into a wooden boat and sailed to the open sea. According to Zhong Yuqiu, who was involved in the kidnapping, when he pointed a pistol at Wang Dehui, Wang begged him: "My money is with my wife. If you want money, ask my wife for it. You are nothing more than money!" But Wang Dehui did not expect that this time was not as lucky as last time. According to media reports, Zhong Yuqiu's job is to catch people, and he did not know the target was Wang Dehui until the last moment. He and other kidnappers who did not know each other practiced kidnapping in the country park for two weeks, and never asked each other's personal affairs. From the beginning to the end, they did not know who the mastermind was. "We held him with axes and guns, so we couldn't let him shout loudly, and I was the first to rush into Wang Dehui's car and tell him not to move, so he was very afraid of me." Zhong Yuqiu said that the four horses took off Wang Dehui's pair of leather shoes according to the deployment at the time, "because I heard that his shoes were equipped with a tracker, and then drove to the Ap Lei Chau pier to hand over people." Zhong Yuqiu finally received 20,000 yuan. A month later, Zhong Yuqiu chose to surrender for fear of implicating his family and confessed to the other three accomplices, but said he was only following orders. Just when the hope of solving the case was dashed, the Taiwanese police cracked a huge money laundering case, leading to more than 20 suspects, including the master of the Wang Dehui kidnapping case - the retired Hong Kong police chief Zhong Weizheng. It turned out that Zhong Weizheng accidentally read the files of the 1983 Wang Dehui kidnapping case (Wang Dehui was kidnapped for the first time) before retiring, thinking that the case was well designed. If it were to be done again, it would only need to fill a few loopholes and it would definitely succeed, so he planned the case. Zhong Weizheng ordered Wang Dehui to hide on a fishing boat and drive to high seas waters. Since the Hong Kong police had no right to intercept high seas vessels, they avoided investigation. After Wang Dehui disappeared, his wife Gong Ruxin went to Beijing, Shanghai, Fujian and Taiwan to inquire about Wang Dehui's whereabouts. At one point, she sought help from Hao Baocun, the former "defense minister" of Taiwan, but unfortunately there was no news. Later, the Hong Kong police learned through investigation that the kidnappers had used an ocean-going fishing boat to collect hostages on the high seas. But according to the arrested gangsters, because they were chased by mainland naval ships during their escape, the kidnappers had thrown the hostages into the sea. Since the criminals have been on the run, and Wang Dehui has not been seen alive or dead, the police cannot confirm this claim. In 1999, the Hong Kong High Court declared Wang Dehui legally dead, but Gong Ruxin has always maintained that her husband is not dead. In addition to sending people to search for him, she has also preserved Wang Dehui's former office in preparation for her husband to return to Chinachem to work. It is reported that Gong Ruxin once renovated Wang Dehui's office, expanding the area, but retaining all the desks, chairs and stationery supplies that Wang Dehui used. The door of the office is locked on weekdays, and staff are not allowed to enter, but because one of the walls of the office is glass and the curtains are not drawn, the interior layout can be seen from the outside. In 2001, the kidnapper who was responsible for directly capturing Wang Dehui was released from prison. Gong Ruxin asked him to learn the details of the kidnapping. " If you can find Wang Dehui's whereabouts, you can get the money alone. "Gong Ruxin directly and simply expressed her desire to know the whereabouts of her husband." I really don't know, everything has been told to the police, and I can't think of anything to add. I'm afraid there is a person who confessed at the police station. "Zhong Yuqiu said after saying:" I'm sorry, Mrs. Wang! "Then turned to leave the office building." In fact, when I went up that time, I just wanted to apologize to her. How could I know the whereabouts of her husband? I have no ability to earn this kind of money. " Two years later, some of the prisoners involved in the kidnapping case were released from prison and called Gong Ruxin several times to say that Wang Dehui was still alive, "under house arrest" in a certain area of Asia, and could take Gong Ruxin to meet him, provided that he had to pay a large sum of money. Fearing that this was another trap for the kidnappers, Gong Ruxin never dared to make the trip herself, so she had to appoint her younger brother Gong Renxin to inquire about Wang Dehui's whereabouts in various countries in South East Asia. However, Wang Dehui never appeared. After Wang Dehui disappeared, Gong Ruxin took over the Chinachem Group and became a famous legend. She always appeared in public with a smile, and was known as "Britney" in a "miniskirt and horn braid" outfit. Chinachem business spans the mainland, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, the United States and other places. Gong Ruxin said that she invests by feeling and manages by emotion. According to the British "Sunday Mail" estimate at the time, Gong Ruxin's wealth is more than five times that of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, and she can be called "Asia's first richest woman". On the other hand, Wang Dehui left 40 billion Hong Kong dollars of property, so that Gong Ruxin and the Wang family also launched the longest civil litigation in Hong Kong history and the most expensive "century dispute case", which was not won until 2005. On April 4, 2007, Gong Ruxin, the richest woman in Asia and the chairman of Hong Kong Chinachem Group, died, and her family published an obituary in several newspapers. Ms. Gong refused to accept the death of her husband, Wang Dehui, until her death, when her obituary was published under his name, which did not have a black box.
