Chapter 353 Who are you?
Jiang Yichen and I rushed to Xu Sisi's secret location, hoping to find Ye Huating safe and sound. However, the scene before us made our hearts sink instantly. Ye Huating was nowhere to be seen, and Xu Sisi and her subordinates were all slightly injured, their faces filled with regret and self-blame.
Xu Sisi's face was solemn as she stepped forward, her voice tinged with guilt as she said, "We had just rescued Miss Ye and hadn't even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief when a group of people suddenly rushed out. Those people were clearly professional thugs, extremely skilled. We were no match for them at all, and they took Miss Ye away without hesitation."
My heart tightened, and I blurted out, "Who did this? Was it one of President Li's men?" President Li had been eyeing Ye Huating for a long time, and he would do anything for the company's benefit. Now that Ye Huating had disappeared, he was the first person I thought of.
Jiang Yichen slowly shook his head and calmly analyzed, "President Li is too busy to take care of himself right now. His company has such a big problem, he can hardly protect himself. He doesn't have the guts to send someone to kidnap Ye Huating. It seems that someone in the company is getting restless."
Just then, Jiang Yichen's phone rang sharply, displaying an unfamiliar number on the screen. Jiang Yichen quickly answered the phone, and a chilling voice, seemingly from hell, came from the other end: "Miss Gu, Ye Huating is in my hands. If you don't want anything to happen to her, then do as I say."
Jiang Yichen's eyes sharpened instantly, and she said coldly, "Who are you? What do you want?" Her voice was calm and firm, without the slightest panic.
The other party sneered, the laughter like a cold knife cutting through the tense air: "Who I am is not important, what is important is that you have no choice now."
"Call the police? I don't think you'll call the police. The address is on the 56th floor of Baidong Building. See you tomorrow, I have some things to do today." After saying that, there was a busy tone on the other end of the phone.
In an instant, Xu Sisi and the others also injured their arms, and I told them to go to the hospital to treat their wounds first.
"It's nothing, just a minor injury. Sister Gu, this isn't a good place to stay. Let's go outside first."
"Okay, but you need to go to the hospital immediately after you leave."
Lin Xiaxia nodded first, and then Xiaotiantian started to move.
"The hospital is nearby, you guys go first. Jiang Yichen is here, don't worry," I said to Xu Sisi and the others with concern.
After hearing this, they gave me a few words of advice and then went to the hospital, leaving me and Jiang Yichen alone.
Jiang Yichen gripped his phone tightly, his eyes revealing anger and worry. I stood beside him, equally anxious. Fifty million in cash was no small sum, and obtaining President Li's share transfer agreement wouldn't be easy.
"What do we do now?" I asked anxiously.
Jiang Yichen took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down: "First, we need to find out the identity of this mysterious person. Although it's unlikely to be him from President Li's side, we can't completely rule him out as a suspect. In addition, other people in the company who are ambitious for shares are also possibilities."
We began our investigation, and Jiang Yichen used her connections and resources within the company to gather information from all sides.
Time ticked by, but the investigation made no substantial progress. Everyone in the company seemed to be keeping their mouths shut, and no one was willing to reveal any useful information. Just when we were almost in despair, an unexpected message arrived—General Manager Zhao seemed to have some connection to this matter.
Mr. Zhao is a veteran in the company and has always been in a power struggle with Mr. Li. He had been keeping a low profile until now, when he suddenly made his move at this crucial moment. Mr. Zhao's intervention instantly reversed the entire plot. Originally, it was thought that only Mr. Li was behind it all, but it turns out that the real mastermind was Mr. Zhao.
Upon hearing this news, Jiang Yichen frowned. She knew that President Zhao was far more cunning than President Li, and this crisis was more serious than she had imagined. "It seems that President Zhao intends to take advantage of this opportunity to acquire President Li's shares in one fell swoop, thereby gaining control of the entire company," Jiang Yichen analyzed.
But right now, the most crucial thing is Ye Huating's safety. We can't just stand by and watch her fall into danger. The deadline of tomorrow noon is fast approaching; we must come up with a solution as soon as possible.
“We can’t do as Mr. Zhao asks,” Jiang Yichen said firmly. “This is very likely a trap; they just want money.”
I nodded, agreeing with his point of view: "Then what should we do? Should we go directly to negotiate with General Manager Zhao?"
"Shouldn't we wait and see?"
Jiang Yichen pondered for a moment and said, "Negotiation is necessary, but we can't go about it blindly. We need to make full preparations first. On the one hand, we need to continue investigating President Zhao's plan and the situation on the 56th floor of the Baidong Building; on the other hand, we need to be prepared to deal with any possible emergencies."
Mr. Li had just returned home when he frantically searched for Ye Huating, his eyes filled with panic and unease. The news that his wife was missing hit him like a bombshell, instantly throwing him into disarray.
Mr. Li angrily slammed his fist at me, throwing down what he was holding, and demanded, "Where is my wife? Where did she go? You better give me an explanation!" Mr. Li's voice was hoarse with anger, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on my fist.
I frowned, but tried to remain calm. Listening to Mr. Li's anxious voice, I slowly said, "I know where she is. It was Mr. Zhao who took Ye Huating away."
"President Zhao?" President Li's eyes widened, a flash of shock and anger crossing them. He hadn't expected President Zhao to interfere at this critical juncture. "That bastard! How dare he touch my wife!" President Li's face flushed red with rage, his teeth grinding together.
However, Ye Huating's safety was the most important thing right now. President Li took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew this was not the time to lose his temper. "Find Ye Huating quickly, and I'll go to the place you mentioned right away. No matter the cost, I will bring her back safely."
"Don't worry, I'll do my best. But you must be careful when you get there. Mr. Zhao is a meticulous person and will definitely be on guard. They asked to meet me tomorrow."
Wasn't this person cheating on their partner? Why are they in such a hurry now?
"See you now, not tomorrow."
Ignoring my instructions, Mr. Li turned and ran outside. As he ran, he made phone calls, gathering his men to head towards Mr. Zhao's location. On the way, Mr. Li was filled with complex emotions. He was worried about his wife's safety and also incredibly angry at Mr. Zhao's actions.
