Chapter 469: Chapter 457: Jealousy Drives People Mad Chapter 469: Chapter 457: Jealousy Drives People Mad Mo Libin now has to keep an eye on the business over in Europe and Arica and is also helping Lu Jiaxin buy stocks and speculate in futures, which is why he frequently flies overseas. Lu Jiaxin is short on staff and has therefore recruited two more personnel through an international headhunting firm, one nad Sang Wen, who has worked at a securities company in Hong Kong; the other nad Deng Weihai, also Hong Kong people, was a senior executive at Little Days Bank.
Sang Wen stays in Hong Kong to handle business on that side for her; whereas Deng Weihai is responsible for the affairs in the Island Country. Although currently only so futures contracts and stocks of Island Country have been purchased, after the stock market crash is over she plans to invest in Little Days’s electronics and real estate. Despite her disdain for that country, its electronic technology is indeed ahead of the Mainland, making this investnt quite profitable. As for real estate, she rembered it collapsed in the mid-1990s, so she would pull out when the ti ca.
Nie Zhan knew she had hired two more senior staff, and while he was a bit surprised, he did not ask. He did not interfere too much in business matters unless he felt sothing was improper.
That day, as Lu Jiaxin was reading, she suddenly received a call from a private detective who said he had investigated so matters: “Miss Lu, should I send the information to you, or would you like to send soone to pick it up?”
Lu Jiaxin was very pleased, feeling her money had been well spent: “I’ll send soone to pick it up.”
Lu Jiaxin summoned Yan Yijun and told him about the private detective’s findings: “Go and pick it up now.”
The afternoon he arrived in Hong Kong, he visited Gu Wenfeng at the hospital, and after asking her not to go out the next day he went out driving by himself, always returning late at night.
At dinner that day, Lu Jiaxin asked him what he had been doing. Only then did she learn that he was familiarizing himself with the geography of Hong Kong, as instructed by Gu Wenfeng.
Yan Yijun also showed the map he had drawn to Lu Jiaxin: “Boss, this map is not yet complete. Once I have driven all the roads, I will inform you.”
Lu Jiaxin told him to take his ti to understand, there was no hurry, and also reminded him to drive safely when going out.
After Yan Yijun got the materials from the private detective, Lu Jiaxin was busy in the garden, so he did not disturb her. Having asked the private detective earlier and knowing it was not good news, he waited until Lu Jiaxin returned to the living room after picking flowers before taking out the materials.
Lu Jiaxin had been anxious about this matter, feeling uneasy until the mastermind behind the scenes was caught. She imdiately opened and read the material, and her face turned ashen after reading it.
Yan Yijun and Li Qing did not yet know what the situation was, but Miao Na knew there had been progress in the kidnapping incident. However, she was puzzled as to why the police and Mr. Nie’s investigations had found no leads, yet the private detective hired by the boss had clues.
Lu Jiaxin said to Yan Yijun and Li Qing, “Co with to the study.”
Miao Na saw them go upstairs and was puzzled as to why she was being excluded. After all, she had been with the boss for over a year, while Yan Yijun and Li Qing had only arrived a little over a week ago.
The study was soundproofed, and once the door was closed, no one outside could hear the conversation inside.
Lu Jiaxin said, “The private detective’s investigation shows that Kang Huijuan believes I was the reason she could no longer stay with the Nie family, and she has vowed not to let off easily.”
Who is Kang Huijuan? Yan Yijun’s brain raced to process the information.
Li Qing, who had a good mory and quick response, imdiately asked, “Is she the Second Young Madam of the Nie family?”
Lu Jiaxin nodded, “Yes, she is the wife of Nie Jingshu, the Second Young Master of the Nie family. The Nie family elders have asked Nie Jingshu to divorce her, but for now, she hasn’t because she apparently has sothing on them that’s keeping the divorce at bay.”
Li Qing said with a puzzled face, “Boss, you said it’s the Nie family elders who want Nie Jingshu to divorce her, but that has nothing to do with you, right?”
Although he had been here only seven days, he had already noticed that Lu Jiaxin was not the type to ddle in other people’s business, and she probably wouldn’t bother with her cousin-in-law’s matters.
Lu Jiaxin spoke grimly, “I’ve never t Old Master Nie or Nie Manli, nor have I had any interaction with her. As for why she would hate , I guess soone from the Nie family said sothing they shouldn’t have. Not daring to resent the Nie family, they took out their anger on .”
Yan Yijun couldn’t understand and said, “Maybe this woman is just spewing so harsh words.”
Lu Jiaxin said, “Kang Huijuan has a childhood friend, a guy nad Brother Qiang, who is a branch leader of the 14K. A private detective found that one of Brother Qiang’s confidants… had t with the fugitive La Sen before the kidnapping.”
The fugitive La Sen was the one who delivered money to the deceased Vulture.
Since the people associated with Vulture were a mixed bunch, and his instructing party t him in the dark, searching from Vulture’s end yielded no useful clues after a lengthy investigation. But the private detective found Brother Qiang suspicious, so he started searching from his associates and unexpectedly found sothing.
Lu Jiaxin had instructed the private detective to check on the Nie family just in case, not expecting to really find a lead. However, now they only had suspicions and still needed to find evidence.
On the kidnapping case, both Yan Yijun and Li Qing had seen the information held by the police. The two had also analyzed the case, but with too little information and not being familiar with Hong Kong, they hadn’t co up with anything useful.
After pondering, Li Qing said, “That La Sen, now neither alive nor dead to be seen, even if we tell the police our lead, it won’t help. If the other party flatly denies it, there’s nothing they can do.”
Lu Jiaxin never intended to tell the police in the first place, and she looked at both n and said, “Don’t report it, do you guys have any good ideas?”
Yan Yijun frowned and said, “Reporting won’t do, and we can’t let the private detective continue either. Not only will they fail to find any evidence, but they might also raise the alarm.”
Lu Jiaxin coldly stated, “I will have soone ask this close associate of Brother Qiang, he should cooperate.”
How could simply asking guarantee that they would spill everything? But Yan Yijun quickly realized that the person she planned to “ask” was definitely not an ordinary person.
Upon hearing Lu Jiaxin’s words, Li Qing understood the implication and said, “Boss, make sure you find soone reliable to do the questioning.”
Lu Jiaxin looked at Yan Yijun as if asking his opinion.
Yan Yijun felt this approach was sowhat risky, “If the person you hire isn’t thorough and exposes you, then you, Boss, will be in danger.”
Seeing that neither of them opposed her use of special asures, Lu Jiaxin was satisfied inside, “These gangs are a cancer to society, they deserve to die.”
If the two had opposed her thods, she would not have continued to employ them. She was not a person for violence and bloodshed, but if others were putting her life in danger, to continue adhering to her previous principles would be foolish. Moreover, if Kang Huijuan thought she was easy to bully, who knows if there could be another kidnapping attempt.
This was a preparation to strike fatally. Neither of the two n had spoken out against it, if it had been in the Mainland, it would definitely have been handed over to the governnt, but this is Hong Kong. The laws in Hong Kong are different from the Mainland, even if they actually found out that Brother Qiang had the intention to kidnap the boss, they wouldn’t sentence him to death after being captured, at most he would serve ten or twenty years in prison.
