Chapter 5 - 5: Because You Are a Good Person
"The people who kidnapped my son are the ones who contacted
first. I can't reach them, but by going through Zhang Daya, I can make the kidnappers contact
voluntarily. Can I make a call now?" Zhao Xianghua revealed everything without any hesitation.
At the sa ti, he stared at Ye Fan, as if waiting for instructions. As long as Ye Fan told him to call, he would imdiately make the call.
A distinguished business mogul reduced to such a timid state in front of Ye Fan was truly astonishing.
"Go ahead." Ye Fan instructed casually.
Zhao Xianghua imdiately dialed Zhang Daya's number and put it on speakerphone. He didn't know what Ye Fan intended to do, but he couldn't disobey Ye Fan's command. Deep down, he also held onto so hope; he had already sensed that Ye Fan was soone formidable. If his son could be saved unhard, he would do anything. With his son in the hands of the kidnappers, even if he followed Zhang Daya's instructions, he couldn't guarantee his son's safety. Therefore, he especially hoped that Ye Fan would rescue his son, and by then, he would follow any of Ye Fan's commands without fail.
The phone rang for a few seconds before Zhang Daya answered.
"President Zhang, I accept all your demands. I just want to ensure my son's safety," Zhao Xianghua was the first to speak. He adjusted his breathing and didn't show any signs of distress, as he didn't want to slip up and dissatisfy Ye Fan.
"Good, very good. I knew President Zhao would give , Zhang, this bit of respect. Quickly prepare the contract for the transfer of shares. Don't worry; your son is fine. We've been working together for years as friends; how could I bear to harm my nephew?" Zhang Daya's voice carried a tone of roguishness and smugness.
"I just want to hear my son's voice now. As long as he's okay, I'll imdiately start fulfilling your demands," Zhao Xianghua said with determination, showing he would do anything for his son.
"You don't trust my integrity? Am I a man who doesn't keep his word?" Zhang Daya was displeased.
"What's President Zhang saying? I'm just missing my son. I know President Zhao is a man of his word," Zhao Xianghua flattered.
Zhang Daya hesitated for a second, then relented, "Wait by the phone."
With that, Zhang Daya hung up, and within less than two minutes, Zhao Xianghua's phone rang.
"Dad, save , co quickly," a sobbing voice ca through the phone, mixed with so noise.
Before Zhao Xianghua could speak, the call was disconnected.
Ye Fan, sitting by the computer, initially planned to trace the call. Once the kidnappers called back, and Zhao Xianghua answered, he could track their location through hacking techniques. However, he didn't make any such move. Instead, from Zhao Xianghua's son's cries, he detected a very distinct noise, imdiately identifying its source.
"Eurotone HGF: 26 series electric hamr," Ye Fan murmured softly, uncovering a critical clue without revealing any bewildering secrets.
"What Eurotone? An electric hamr?" Zhao Xianghua and Wang Zijian were full of questions.
Xu Fu's eyes lit up, and he loudly said, "Brother Ye ans that from the call, you've identified the sound of an Eurotone HGF: 26 series electric hamr?"
"Yes." Ye Fan didn't elaborate further.
Xu Fu began speaking with admiration, "This type of electric hamr is an imported product, and due to its high cost, only one decoration company in Dongfang City, Jianhua Company, is equipped with it. Jianhua Company has business dealings with our Chu Group, and I know they're currently decorating a newly constructed building. If I'm not mistaken, Zhao Xianghua's son and the kidnappers are hiding near that building."
Xu Fu's deduction was quite precise, but how Ye Fan's ears were so sharp left the others present deeply astonished.
After inquiring about Zhang Daya's residence, Ye Fan decided to take action.
Considering his forr occupation, he was very familiar with the capital city of Huaxia, Dongfang City.
All he needed was a car, and he was confident he could find any place.
His current goal was clear; first, rescue Zhao Xianghua's son, then find Zhang Daya, and everything would be resolved naturally. To him, this was commonplace. Although Poisonous Spider was formidable, he did not take them seriously.
"Give
a car so I can handle the trouble," Ye Fan said softly as he approached Chu ngyao.
"Follow ," Chu ngyao said indifferently, then led Ye Fan to a room. Without any hesitation, she said sternly, "Don't get involved in this matter. Don't bring trouble onto yourself."
Chu ngyao was afraid that Ye Fan might get into trouble, so she didn't want him to take any risks.
She didn't know just how strong Ye Fan was, but she believed that Poisonous Spider was soone not to be trifled with.
"Don't you trust ?" Ye Fan asked earnestly.
"It's not about trust. I don't want you to get caught up in my issues. You can remain uninvolved. I know you're mysterious and capable, but I've heard of Poisonous Spider's infamy," Chu ngyao said, maintaining her patience.
"I won't get into any trouble. I promised to help you and I won't go back on my word," Ye Fan insisted stubbornly.
"Why do you want to help ? We've only known each other for about half a day, and you don't even know my na," Chu ngyao's heart skipped a beat, deeply moved by the man who risked his life to help her.
"I know your na; it's Chu ngyao," Ye Fan said matter-of-factly.
"How do you know that? I clearly didn't tell you, and Uncle Fu didn't either," Chu ngyao was puzzled. She had been with Ye Fan the entire ti, and she was sure that he had no way of knowing her na.
"There are so many docunts in the villa, I have eyes," Ye Fan's response was firm.
Chu ngyao was left speechless. Anxiously, she said, "Why do you want to help ? Don't you know you might die?"
"Because you're a good person," Ye Fan replied.
Chu ngyao felt a lump in her throat, unable to say anything further.
The term "good person" made her heart quiver slightly.
Externally, she was called many things, both good and bad, but no one had ever called her a good person.
"Swear you won't encounter danger?" Chu ngyao finally relented.
"I swear."
"Repeat after , if I encounter danger, Chu ngyao is not a good person."
Chu ngyao's intentions were simple; she believed that the weight of being called a good person in Ye Fan's words was significant. By having Ye Fan say this, she hoped he wouldn't encounter danger.
Seeing Chu ngyao's determined expression, Ye Fan had no choice but to say, "I swear, if I encounter danger, Chu ngyao is not a good person."
"A person I've acknowledged as a good person is a good person. How could they beco a bad person?" In his heart, Ye Fan thought this, fully understanding Chu ngyao's mindset.
Ye Fan drove away.
Chu ngyao watched Ye Fan's departing figure, a silhouette etched into her heart.
During her most vulnerable mont, when her company was faced with a major crisis, soone like Ye Fan appeared in her life, deeply touching her.
