Chapter 1491: Chapter 1484: Beautiful Ladies and Scenery (Part 6)

If he dares to kidnap someone on his own, he’s the type who would rather die with his adversary!

Qin Zhiyou did not dare to gamble, nor could he afford to. Moreover, he was not certain that it was truly Zhao Zihuan who acted. Maybe Zhao Zihuan was completely oblivious to the situation, perhaps he was only involved in the stock market crash and not the kidnapping? Those ambiguous phone recordings did not present any fault that Zhao Zihuan could pick on, so Qin Zhiyou could not take that risk.

But the problem was, even if Qin Zhiyou didn’t seek out Zhao Zihuan, the latter, with his usual brazenness, made another visit. Of course, Zhao Zihuan’s visit this time was under the guise of "business collaboration." When Qin Zhiyou heard the internal call from his executive assistant announcing his arrival, he was furious. No matter how rational he was, he couldn’t stand to see Zhao Zihuan’s face again, so he ordered his assistant directly: "Tell him to get lost!"

In any case, whatever his reaction, Zhao Zihuan was surely well aware and wouldn’t be surprised.

Obviously, the assistant would never relay such words; she replied sensibly, "I’m sorry, our Mr. Qin does not have the time."

Zhao Zihuan still responded with a good-humored smile, "No problem, you just schedule a time for me. I’m staying right across at the Hilton. Whenever Mr. Qin has time to meet me, I’ll be over. Remember, you have to relay the message exactly as I said it."

The assistant nodded. After Zhao Zihuan left, she called Qin Zhiyou and truly repeated his words verbatim, adding, "Mr. Zhao had a very gentle smile when he left."

A gentle smile? Qin Zhiyou clenched the phone tightly. Zhao Zihuan’s unflappable demeanor was driving him close to madness! He looked out the window, across the street was the Hilton hotel, its lights seemed to mock his impotence with Zhao Zihuan’s laughter.

Although he didn’t want to show his hand, the police, following the lead he provided, still investigated Zhao Zihuan’s side. His call logs, his billing statements, his travel records... It’s as if Zhao Zihuan did it on purpose, these past few days he has been mingling with people from Zhongtian Steel, and during the time of Lu Weixi’s incident, he was mainly at the hotel, with frequent American transactions reflected in his account. In other words, after all the investigations, at least on the surface, he was indeed involved in the plunge of Hanhai’s stock price, but other matters... there was not a shred of evidence.

Could it be that the person who kidnapped Lu Weixi was really not him?

Time passed by the minute, by the second.

There’s a saying about the vital 72 hours for rescue. Within 72 hours after an incident, there is the highest chance of successful rescue. Now, with 24 hours about to pass, Qin Zhiyou was still clueless.

Having no leads, he still had to comfort Lu’s mother. In the evening, before the New York Stock Exchange opened, Lu’s mother called him, and he had to suppress his urge to cry, and said with difficulty, "Xixi... is with me, I was too busy yesterday,

my subordinate had her rest at the company, and didn’t inform me. Something came up with Hanhai, so I didn’t come back, and she stayed to keep me company."

At first, Lu’s mother was very critical of Qin Zhiyou, but after spending time together, she believed that Qin Zhiyou was sincere towards his daughter. Hearing his explanation, she also breathed a sigh of relief, "I saw the news, is Hanhai going through tough times?"

"Yes... it was a work mishap, it’s nothing serious," Qin Zhiyou sniffled.

"Right, it’s not a big deal, you’re still young, you can always start over if you have to."

"... Okay," Qin Zhiyou nodded, almost unable to hold back. At that moment...
