"Have you called the police?"

Xiao Yi asked.

"We have, but the police still have no news till now."

Next to him, Liu Yuan glanced at Chen Jianguo, who had deeply sunk his head into his knees, sighed lightly, and once again responded on behalf of Chen Jianguo.

No one knew better than Liu Yuan how important Chen Xue was in Chen Jianguo’s heart. One could say that, ever since his wife’s passing, Chen Xue had become his sole emotional pillar. He had always treated her like his precious treasure, fearful of melting her in his palms, using all his means to protect her, ensuring she never got hurt.

Even though the Jianguo Group had been facing countless setbacks for some time, causing him to be worn out, he had always remained strong without showing any weakness or fear. His gaze was still resolute, inspiring everyone at Jianguo Group amidst their difficulties. But ever since he heard the news of his daughter’s kidnapping yesterday, it seemed like, in an instant, he lost his soul and completely collapsed.

After receiving that phone call from the kidnappers, the way Chen Jianguo appeared utterly distraught, with a confused face seeking his help, made Liu Yuan feel an aching sorrow.

He never imagined that Mr. Chen, who always stood tall like a mountain, with eyes sharp as knives, intimidating others from even looking at him, would one day look at him confusedly, anxiously, helplessly like a lost child, murmuring the words "What should I do?" as if Liu Yuan was his only lifeline.

"Nearly a day has passed, has the police really found no clues at all?"

Xiao Yi frowned.

"No, Mr. Chen has already made several calls to the police."

Liu Yuan gave a wry smile.

He understood what Xiao Yi meant; the ineffectiveness shown by the police this time also left him extremely disappointed.

"Who do you suspect is pulling the strings behind the scenes? Do you have any suspects in mind?"

Xiao Yi shifted his focus back to Chen Jianguo.

"There’s no need for suspicion, I’m almost certain it was that person. It’s just that we have no evidence to confront him," Chen Jianguo replied.

Chen Jianguo lifted his head and offered a bitter smile.

"Hmm? Who? Give me all the details about that person, including their address, and it’d be even better if you have a photo." Hearing Chen Jianguo’s words, Xiao Yi’s eyebrows shot up instantly.

"Young Master Xiao..."

Chen Jianguo looked up, somewhat surprised, and gazed at Xiao Yi.

"We can’t keep waiting passively for news; Xue is in the kidnappers’ hands, and every minute adds to the danger."

Xiao Yi cut Chen Jianguo off decisively.

Seeing that Chen Jianguo was still hesitant, he added coolly, "What, are you worried that I lack the ability to rescue your daughter?"

"No, of course not, it’s just that, I’m afraid Young Master Xiao is taking too much of a risk."

Chen Jianguo hastily said, worried; seeing Xiao Yi’s resolved expression, coupled with concern for his daughter’s safety, he gritted his teeth before continuing, "After that public relations incident leaked, I began a thorough investigation. After various overt and covert inquiries over this period, I’ve narrowed down the suspects to two people. These two aren’t merely employees of the group; they have connections. Therefore, without concrete evidence, I hadn’t dared to make a move against them prematurely. These three people are the company’s public relations manager, Zhang Shiping, and the group’s vice president, Jin Dongming."

"These two, in fact, might as well be one person, because Zhang Shiping is basically just Jin Dongming’s lackey, his absolute minion. Whatever Jin Dongming says, Zhang doesn’t dare to contradict. At first, Jin Dongming made significant contributions to the company’s development. We relied on his connections to solve many problems we faced during our growth, which was the very reason I hired him initially. You know, doing business in China, it’s impossible to avoid these issues."

"However, gradually, he came to believe the company couldn’t function without them and started to become arrogant about his achievements. He has repeatedly demanded, both openly and covertly, that I increase his share of the company’s stock. I refused; Jianguo Group is my life’s hard work and I absolutely cannot let it be destroyed by someone with such malicious intentions. Hence, they started causing me trouble both openly and secretly. I never imagined they would go so far as to carry out such actions detrimental to the company."

"Moreover, at today’s meeting, that old fox once again proposed that I transfer 50 percent of the company’s shares to him. Though he didn’t outright say that Xue is in his hands, his eyes made it abundantly clear, and when I refused, he still smiled and threatened me, saying I’d best reconsider, and also asked me to send his regards to Xue!"

Recalling Jin Dongming’s smug face from the afternoon, Chen Jianguo’s forehead involuntarily rippled with veins, and his fists clenched tightly.

"Uncle Chen, just give me Jin Dongming’s address directly," Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow and said straightforwardly.

"Jin Dongming and Zhang Shiping live in the Yanjiang Residential Area."

Chen Jianguo nodded, then turned his head to Liu Yuan, "Liu Yuan, do you remember which building they’re in?"

"Jin Dongming resides in Villa No. 21 of Yanjiang Residential Area; as for Zhang Shiping, I don’t remember, only that he lives in a regular commercial housing, Building 2 of Area A."

Upon hearing Chen Jianguo’s words, Liu Yuan immediately responded.

"Alright, you guys wait here for news. If it really is them, we should be able to rescue her very soon."

Xiao Yi nodded, turned, and walked towards the door. Just as he reached the door, he suddenly remembered something and turned back around, "By the way, Secretary Liu, you said last time that the car in the garage has gas in it, right?"

"Yes, Young Master Xiao, haven’t you driven it yet?"

Liu Yuan looked at Xiao Yi with some surprise, then promptly nodded his head.

"No, the school is so close, I don’t need to drive."

Xiao Yi shook his head, having received a definite answer, and continued to walk out.
