Gu Qianlan said angrily, "I know very well what kind of woman He Sirui is. When I get back, she’s not going to have a good end."
Chen Ming asked vigilantly, "If I let you go, you won’t go back on your word, right?"
Gu Qianlan quickly changed her expression, "I may be bossy, but I never go back on my word. When I promise sothing, I keep it."
Chen Ming was relieved. He decided to take a gamble and trust Gu Qianlan. He had lost for twenty years, this ti he wouldn’t bet wrong.
He walked out. Gu Qianlan was afraid he would change his mind, "Aren’t you going to let go?"
Chen Ming said, "I’m going to notify President Gu to co and get you."
Gu Qianlan feared he would regret it, "Call him from right here."
"The signal here is bad. Don’t worry, I’m a man of my word too."
Gu Qianlan was extrely frightened. It was so dark here, and she had never been in such a dirty place, "Then hurry up."
Gu Yikun was at Wansu Technology. All the top technical staff were gathered at the company building late at night. Xie Yuchen was remotely controlling the search for clues from the United States.
For tens of miles around the Gu Family Villa, it was all private land, with only one small road that had no surveillance. This was the road where Gu Qianlan was kidnapped.
It wasn’t hard to track down this incident. The suspect, whether a novice or simply not intending to hide, hadn’t specifically changed routes or vehicles. The technical team easily tracked the general area.
Xie Yuchen, looking at the computer screen, said to Gu Yikun, "It’s an abandoned factory. The suspect’s na, matched from the database, is Chen Ming. Jun Xi has interacted with him a few tis."
Gu Yikun, appearing exceptionally calm at Wansu Technology, made it seem like he was rely conducting a routine inspection, had it not been for the knowledge that the Gu family’s eldest daughter was kidnapped.
Everyone internally admired President Gu’s courage. Only President Gu could remain so composed, commanding respect.
Gu Yikun’s calm cracked slightly after hearing Xie Yuchen’s words, "Jun Xi interacted with him a few tis."
A bizarre thought surfaced in his mind, but Gu Yikun imdiately suppressed it.
She’s not that kind of person.
She wouldn’t do that to anyone. He shouldn’t doubt her.
Gu Yikun didn’t have much ti to think. He was about to lead people to rescue Gu Qianlan when the phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
Gu Yikun answered, "Chen Ming." At this ti, only Chen Ming would call him for negotiations.
The signal on Chen Ming’s end was bad. He said "Hello" several tis before saying, "President Gu, I want to tell you that the eldest Miss Gu is with ."
Gu Yikun got into the car with his team, "What are your terms?"
Chen Ming didn’t hear. He repeated, "The eldest Miss Gu is with ."
Gu Yikun impatiently said, "What are your terms?"
Chen Ming heard intermittently, "I’ll send you the address. You can bring people to pick up Miss Gu now. Miss Gu agreed not to pursue it and will give ten million. He Sirui orchestrated this, I’m also a victim. I hope President Gu can be magnanimous and not settle scores with in the autumn."
The signal in the suburbs was poor. His voice ca through intermittently to Gu Yikun, "I’ll send the address...give ten million...orchestrated this...not settle scores."
Gu Yikun wasn’t in the mood to listen to all that, "Ten million is no problem. If my sister gets a single hair hard, your entire family won’t be enough to compensate."
Due to the signal issue, Chen Ming only heard "your entire family won’t be enough to compensate." He was so scared he trembled and hastily explained, "President Gu, don’t misunderstand. I really didn’t an it. It was He..." The call cut off.
Chen Ming cursed, "This crappy signal!"
Gu Yikun ordered his subordinates, "Hurry."
A total of three cars sped towards the suburbs. The person in the front car asked through an earpiece, "President, what about that suspect later?"
Gu Yikun said, "Leave him alive."
"Understood."
Chen Ming walked back to the house, "Your brother seems to have misunderstood. What should we do?"
"Misunderstood what?"
"I don’t know. The signal here is too bad. I only heard your brother say he wants my whole family buried with him."
Gu Qianlan panicked. She didn’t dare provoke Chen Ming. Who knows if he’d impulsively kill her?
She said, "When my brother cos, I’ll explain to him. I always keep my word."
Chen Ming now took a gamble as well, believing that Gu Qianlan was at least not a dead end.
"Miss Gu, I’m not just kidnapping you for money. My wife and child are in soone else’s hands. He Sirui said if I kidnapped you, she’d give six million and help rescue my wife."
Gu Qianlan hated He Sirui to death. When she got ho, she was going to expose this and ruin her!
She asked, "Whose hands is your wife in?"
Chen Ming ntioned the na of a loan company. It was ostensibly a legitimate loan company but was actually an illegal high-interest loan shark.
"Miss Gu, can you help ask President Gu to save my girlfriend? She’s pregnant with my child. No matter how scummy I am, I can’t let my own child suffer, right?"
In the past, Gu Qianlan despised such people the most. But now, she sohow felt a hint of sympathy for Chen Ming, "No problem. If my brother wants to save soone, it’s not difficult. Just a word from him and many people will handle it for him."
Chen Ming was relieved and started babbling, "I won’t gamble anymore. I’ll be a good father and won’t ask Mrs. Gu for money again."
Gu Qianlan asked curiously, "Why would she lend you money?"
"My sister helped Mrs. Gu before. She knew I was a gambler but still lent money."
Gu Qianlan thought silently, Jun Xi is really foolish. Lending money to a gambler is like throwing it away.
She didn’t dare say this out loud and simply comnted, "Her personality can be annoying, but she’s a good person sotis."
Chen Ming said, "Mrs. Gu has been involved in scandals lately. I couldn’t reach her; otherwise, I wouldn’t have been used by He Sirui. I had no other option."
"Stop playing the victim. Aren’t you letting go?"
Chen Ming quickly untied Gu Qianlan. She stretched her limbs. What kind of place is this?
She confird with Chen Ming, "You’ve already given my brother the location, right?"
"Yes, President Gu will be here soon."
Gu Qianlan walked out the door. Chen Ming warned her not to wander around, "This is an abandoned factory with a lot of old, broken equipnt. It’s dangerous."
Gu Qianlan asked to borrow a lighter. Chen Ming handed it to her, "I’m going to the woods for a bit. Wait here."
He said this and went into the small grove nearby. Gu Qianlan was left alone. The cold wind blew through, rustling the leaves, sending chills down her spine.
She was afraid of the dark. She felt around on the ground for so firewood, intending to light a fire for warmth.
The lighter’s weak fla flickered in the darkness. This tiny spark, like a prairie fire, quickly ignited a nearby oil drum.
The fire roared high. The night wind blew the flas towards her, and Gu Qianlan’s dress caught fire.
Terrified, she scread and frantically tried to put out the fire. But no matter how fast she moved, the flas spread faster. The searing pain made her cry out in agony, "Brother, help !"
