"Which family?"
Ye Jianye asked with a grave expression.
Next to him, Ye Jingwen's face also tensed up; if the matter really involved another major family, it would indeed be quite troubleso to handle.
"I'm just speculating."
"Here's what I'll do: I'll tell you what I know, and then you can make your own judgnt."
Wang Guosheng picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and then said, "Brother Ye, didn't you call earlier? After your call, I received a call from the Lu Family's eldest young master, Lu Mingzhe!"
"The Lu Family?"
Ye Jianye and his sister Ye Jingwen exchanged a glance, both showing surprised expressions on their faces.
Their family had always had a good relationship with the Lu Family because both were shareholders of the Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group, and often cooperated on the board of directors.
Moreover, previously the Lu Family had intended to arrange a marriage with their Ye Family.
So, when Wang Guosheng ntioned the na Lu Mingzhe, both of them found it sowhat unbelievable.
"What did he say in the call?"
After a brief mont of being stunned, Ye Jianye asked.
"He just asked about the situation of the case."
"And he also asked if the kidnappers had confessed anything."
Wang Guosheng replied truthfully.
"Asked if the kidnappers had confessed?" Find adventures on My Virtual Library Empire
Ye Jianye instinctively furrowed his brows.
Who would care whether the kidnappers had confessed?
Of course, it would be the person behind the scenes!
In other words, Lu Mingzhe was very likely involved in this matter!
However, Ye Jianye couldn't understand why Lu Mingzhe would suddenly target his own family.
"His target must be Shuyuan!"
Ye Jingwen analyzed, "Didn't Lu Peng ntion the marriage proposal to you before, big brother?">
"Although Shuyuan didn't agree, I heard that Lu Mingzhe never gave up. He would go find Shuyuan from ti to ti, but Shuyuan consistently refused to be his girlfriend."
"Could it be that he wanted to turn the cooked rice into a done deal?"
"There's such a thing?"
As an experienced veteran detective, Wang Guosheng raised his eyebrows; in his view, this was the motive!
"The motive is there."
"It is very likely that their target is Shuyuan!"
Wang Guosheng cursed with a taut face, "That Lu Mingzhe really, if soone doesn't agree, he thinks of using force, completely disregarding us!"
"Right, sothing like this happened last year as well, when my niece claid she was raped by Lu Mingzhe. Later, however, she changed her story, saying it was consensual. Probably Lu Mingzhe's side paid money to settle the matter..."
Wang Guosheng rembered a past incident, which had left a deep impression on him.
At the ti, the girl had gone to the police station in his jurisdiction to file a report. The police station chief knew Lu Mingzhe and that he was the son of the Lu Family patriarch, so he didn't file the case imdiately, instead seeking advice from Wang Guosheng.
Then, Wang Guosheng had a conversation with Lu Mingzhe's father, Lu Peng, who asked for so ti, and after that, the girl recanted her story.
Wang Guosheng never inquired about the reasons, but he could guess that the Lu Family had used money to suppress the issue.
"So, he's a repeat offender!"
"I had thought that Lu Mingzhe was just a playboy, but I didn't expect him to dare commit cris!"
Ye Jingwen said, then turned to look at her brother beside her, "Big brother, looking at it this way, it really was aid at Shuyuan!"
"This matter can't be let go. Lu Mingzhe must pay a price!"
"Hmm!"
Ye Jianye nodded furiously, "We'd best send that kid to prison!"
"Keeping him around is a nace, he even set his sights on Shuyuan!"
He cursed, then looked towards Wang Guosheng, "Old Wang, it's not easy to convict in this situation, right?"
"Hmm, it's difficult!"
"Unless the leader, Zhao Hu, speaks out and points fingers!"
Wang Guosheng responded.
"Then find a way to make him talk!"
"You should be professional with this kind of thing, Old Wang!"
Ye Jianye glanced at the direction of the office door and then lowered his voice, "If you need funds to operate, I'll provide them!"
At this mont, Ye Jianye was truly angry. Even if the marriage proposal did not go through, the two families had previously maintained a good relationship, yet Lu Mingzhe dared to harbor such intentions. Did he think the Ye Family could be bullied?
"For this kind of situation, we still need factual evidence."
"The underlings led by Zhao Hu seem to not know anything, so it's very difficult if he doesn't confess. However, I will do my utmost to make it happen!"
Wang Guosheng stated his position right away.
No sooner had he spoken than soone knocked on the office door.
"Co in!"
Wang Guosheng sat up straight and replied.
The office door opened.
It was Ma Tianjiao, leading Yang Hao and Ye Shuyuan, who had just finished giving their statents.
"Director Yang, Shuyuan, please have a seat."
Wang Guosheng stood up from his seat, welcoming them with a smile.
Yang Hao didn't stand on ceremony and sat next to Ye Jianye, while Ye Shuyuan took a seat next to her younger cousin Ye Jingwen.
"Director Yang, I hear that Tianjiao is your apprentice?"
Wang Guosheng pointed at Ma Tianjiao, who stood aside, and inquired.
"Yes, Tianjiao has always wanted to learn martial arts from ," Yang Hao nodded slightly.
"Since she's one of our own, Tianjiao, take a seat too!"
Wang Guosheng gestured with his lips towards the standing Ma Tianjiao.
If Yang Hao hadn't acknowledged their ntor-apprentice relationship, he had been prepared to ask Ma Tianjiao to leave, given that the matter they were discussing was rather private.
Ma Tianjiao didn't say anything and quietly sat down next to Yang Hao.
"Director Yang, you and Shuyuan have co at just the right ti; we're analyzing the case."
"Based on the current clues, the person behind the scenes should be Lu Mingzhe of the Lu Family."
"Shuyuan, has he been pursuing you lately?" Wang Guosheng asked.
"Yes, he has," Ye Shuyuan nodded.
"Have there been any conflicts recently?" Wang Guosheng continued to ask.
"There has been, I suppose."
Ye Shuyuan imdiately recounted the incident in the Hushang Family's parking lot.
"This ans that Lu Mingzhe's motive is even clearer now!"
"However, the story from Zhao Hu's underlings also seems plausible. They claim their task was to give Director Yang a good beating."
"And Director Yang, you would be considered a romantic rival in Lu Mingzhe's eyes, right?"
Wang Guosheng looked at Yang Hao and then at Ye Shuyuan as he analyzed.
Yang Hao had already used the "Listening to Heartbeats" skill to know Zhao Hu's purpose and that the person pulling the strings was Lu Mingzhe.
He had been considering how to convey this information to the police and the Ye Family, but now it didn't seem to be as much of a hassle.
What's more, the police and the Ye Family even believed that Lu Mingzhe had planned to abduct Shuyuan!
As for this little misunderstanding, he was not going to help clarify it.
It was Lu Mingzhe's own fault for trying to deal with him.
He only had himself to bla!
Therefore, Yang Hao followed up with the analysis, "Shuyuan and I t for the first ti yesterday, which Lu Mingzhe also knows."
"And there were three other beauties accompanying yesterday, so, I don't think it's likely that Lu Mingzhe sees as a romantic rival!"
Now, Wang Guosheng was entertaining two hypotheses.
One was that Lu Mingzhe hired thugs to take care of Yang Hao, the romantic rival!
The other was that Lu Mingzhe had people abduct Ye Shuyuan to fulfill his own desires.
Hence, Yang Hao decided to help eliminate the first option.
It didn't matter if it led to a conviction!
First, let the Ye Family also grow to hate that guy Lu Mingzhe!
"If that's the case, then their real target was indeed Shuyuan!"
Wang Guosheng indeed ca to that conclusion.
He turned his head to Ma Tianjiao and said earnestly, "Tianjiao, I've heard you have a knack for interrogation."
"Here's what we'll do, you'll take over the interrogation of Zhao Hu, you must make him talk!"
"Yes, sir!"
Ma Tianjiao imdiately stood up upon receiving her task.
"Well, you can go now!"
Wang Guocheng waved his hand.
"Alright!"
Ma Tianjiao replied crisply, striding out of the office.
"Director Wang, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now; I still have work to do!"
Yang Hao also stood up, eager to go to the Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group to et Lu Mingzhe's father.
He knew Lu Mingzhe wasn't holding a position within the group, but his father Lu Peng was a shareholder and currently a board mber.
So you arranged to have soone beat up?
Then I'm going to deal with your father!!
