An amazing read. I can't imagine being in that situation. This is the sort of ordeal that movies should be made of.

It will be. This summer, watch Scamducted! Starring Liam Neeson, the 71-year-old that we keep casting into action roles for some insane reason!

Saved me a click. Thanks!
Disable inline JS.
That was extremely detailed. Makes me sad that everyone else is still there. Only the one guy was saved, and they still had to pay bribes higher than his initial ransom.
This is absurd. I don't understand how people can be so cruel. Though the "General + Dragon" succeeded in getting Mr. Lu out, it does feel like perhaps the ransom was just paid with a bit of negotiation. This is a very frustrating situation.
Great article, Mr. Lu is very strong.
