5. Mr. Rong Desheng wrote a couplet in Bintang in the Plum Garden of Wuxi: Make the best vows, make the middle fate, and enjoy the lower blessings. Choose a high place to stand, sit on a flat place, and face the wide place. OK. On April 25, 1946, 71-year-old Rong Desheng had breakfast at his home in Shanghai and rested for a while. At about 10 o'clock, he and his third son Rong Yixin (the autograph of Rong Desheng when he gave birth to his third son Rong Yixin), Together with his son-in-law Tang Xiongyuan, he took his black Ford sedan (the license plate number of the car that Rong Mansion and Rong Desheng were riding in Shanghai back then) to the head office on Jiangxi Road for work.
As soon as the car reached the corner of Gaosui, three men in military uniforms suddenly jumped out of the car. They stopped the car, waved their pistols and shouted at the people in the car: "Get down, hurry up." Come down!" Rong Desheng, his son, and son-in-law were all surprised. The bodyguard sitting next to the driver stuck his head out of the car window and asked, "What do you do?" The leading officer took out a red arrest warrant and waved it in front of them. Rong Yixin was quick to see that it was stamped with "No. The seal of "Third Front Army Headquarters" and the signature of Mao Sen, Director of the Second Division of Songhu Garrison Command, made me stunned. The bodyguard was also scared and didn't know what to do. The soldiers took the opportunity to pull Rong Yixin and Tang Xiongyuan out of the car. The officer loudly announced: "Rong Desheng is an economic traitor. Please come to the bureau!" The other two men couldn't help but pull Rong Desheng off. The Ford sedan, regardless of his resistance, forced him into the car that had been parked nearby. The three soldiers got into the car immediately. The car started immediately and drove away in less than 3 minutes. Only then did Rong Yixin wake up and realized that he had been kidnapped by gangsters, and he couldn't help but burst into tears. The attentive Tang Xiongyuan comforted Rong Yixin and told him that the car's license plate belonged to the Songhu Police Headquarters! The two immediately drove to the Songhu Security Headquarters. Unexpectedly, the Songhu Security Headquarters denied that they had arrested Rong Desheng! At this moment, Rong Desheng, who was sitting in a military car, looked out the window and saw the car making a few turns and driving straight along Zhongshan Road towards the western suburbs of Shanghai. He immediately realized that it was not the direction to the police station. .
Although Rong Desheng was old, his mind was still very clear. A thought quickly passed through his mind: Could it be that he had been kidnapped? He couldn't help but think of the time when his son Rong Erren was kidnapped and was also kidnapped on his way to work. Moreover, kidnapping cases have occurred repeatedly in Shanghai, and the kidnapped persons are all well-known tycoons, such as Fan Huichun, general manager of Jiading Bank, known as the "Diamond King", and Tang Baochang, known as the "Hardware King"; two sons of Guangdong tycoon Chen Bingqian were successively kidnapped by gangsters Kidnapping and extorting huge amounts of ransom...scared the wealthy businessmen to fear. Rong Desheng has always been cautious in doing things, thinking that he is usually charitable, generous to others, and has no enemies, so he doesn't care much about this kind of thing. Who would have thought that the disaster would really fall on him! At this point, he had no choice but to let the kidnappers control him. The kidnapping of a big industrialist like Rong Desheng immediately attracted national attention. Chiang Kai-shek was extremely angry when he learned about it. He felt that more than half a year after Shanghai was "liberated", kidnapping cases occurred one after another, which caused great damage to the government's prestige, and strictly ordered the Shanghai authorities to investigate within a time limit. However, the Shanghai Police Department and the Yuhu Police Command were unable to solve the case.
After the kidnappers successfully obtained 500,000 US dollars, they decided to release Rong Desheng. At about 10 pm on April 28, 1946, a tricycle took Rong Desheng to the home of his son-in-law Tang Xiongyuan. Tang Xiongyuan immediately called his family and friends to inform him, and everyone came to meet him, extremely happy. Rong Desheng burst into tears and could only lament endlessly!
