Chapter 677: Chapter 679: Ransom of 10,000,000, or the hostage will be executed!

“You bastard! Where did you take Yingying, if you dare to harm her, I will never let you go! Hey, hey?!”

Slap!

With Jiang Ying’s pretty face turning pale as she burst into Xu Yingying’s office, Su Qinglan, the alluring chairman who was listening to the phone, also shouted angrily into the mobile.

After hearing the person on the other end hang up, Su Qinglan, in a fit of rage, hurled her phone to the ground.

“Yingying is in trouble, I have to find her, I have to find her…”

After throwing her phone to the floor, Su Qinglan, the alluring chairman, was full of panic and worry in her charming phoenix eyes. She murmured absentmindedly, her lotus arm resting on the sofa as she tried to stand up to search for the girl, Xu Yingying.

“Steady on, don’t panic, what happened to Yingying? Who called you?” Knowing that Su Qinglan’s mental and physical state were not suitable for her to act rashly, Lin Fei spoke up to calm her while quickly pressing her back down on the sofa.

“Let go of me!” Lin Fei’s attempt to calm her did nothing to soothe the inner turmoil of the alluring chairman, Su Qinglan. On the contrary, it provoked a fierce response as Su Qinglan furiously struggled against Lin Fei.

Had it not been for Lin Fei’s superior physical strength, it’s possible he might have been knocked over by Su Qinglan, the alluring chairman.

Though she couldn’t push Lin Fei away, Su Qinglan, the alluring chairman, did not show any signs of calming down. She struggled incessantly in Lin Fei’s embrace, trying to break free and leave the office to find the mischievous girl, Xu Yingying.

“Lin Fei, let go of me! Yingying is in trouble, I need to find her, I have to find her…”

“Calm down! I know that Yingying is in trouble, and I know you’re worried. But panicking won’t solve anything. The more anxious you become, the more trouble you cause. If you want to save Yingying, you need to be calm first! Let’s hear what Jiang Ying has to say; at least we need to know how Yingying got into this mess!”

Calm finally returned to Su Qinglan, brought back to her senses by Lin Fei’s stern command. Her captivating phoenix eyes immediately focused on Jiang Ying, who was also pale and visibly distressed, “Jiang Ying, tell me, how was Yingying kidnapped? Who, who took Yingying?!”

“I don’t know who they were. There were several of them… they used two cars to block President Xu’s vehicle, front and rear. Then, they smashed her car windows and… and they took President Xu and drove away with her in their car. I… I was so scared at the time, I… I—”

Upon hearing Jiang Ying’s account of how the mischievous girl, Xu Yingying, had been kidnapped, one could guess that it was probably because Xu Yingying, in a fit of anger after an argument with Su Qinglan, the alluring chairman, had driven off in a huff. And Jiang Ying had been ordered to follow the girl’s car, driven by Lin Fei. Witnessing this, Jiang Ying’s eyes began to show a hint of guilt and she seemed ready to start blaming herself.

Lin Fei immediately interrupted the woman, saying, “Don’t blame yourself just yet, this isn’t the time for self-reproach. I need to ask you, did you get a clear look at the people who abducted Yingying? What did they look like? Also, did you see the car they drove, what was the license plate number?”

Jiang Ying, her pretty eyes freezing over from Lin Fei’s barrage of questions, almost subconsciously recollected and spoke out, “They, they had their faces covered, I, I couldn’t see, couldn’t see their faces. The license plate number, the license plate number, I, I don’t have it. No, wait, their car, their car didn’t even have a license plate.”

Unable to glean specific information about the kidnappers who abducted Xu Yingying from Jiang Ying, Lin Fei frowned, “If there’s no license plate number, did you at least get a clear look at the type of car they were driving?!”

“The car? Yes, yes, I did get a look. It was, it was a white van—two white Jinbei vans!” After all, as a staff member at Che Wuya’s Club, Jiang Ying, who often dealt with cars, quickly remembered the type of vehicle used by the kidnappers who took Xu Yingying.

Hearing that Jiang Ying recalled the type of vehicle the kidnappers used, Lin Fei’s expression eased slightly. Being able to confirm the make of the kidnapper’s car would undoubtedly narrow the search. After all, Lin Fei could utilize Thorny Rose’s intelligence capabilities, which benefit from having a fixed search range. Thorny Rose’s operatives would find it much easier, and of course, much faster to search for Xu Yingying.

Just as Lin Fei was about to immediately make a call to Xue Mei, that cold and enchanting creature, to have her deploy Thorny Rose’s operatives to help look for Yingying,

due to Lin Fei’s sharp questioning, the slightly recuperating Jiang Ying timidly spoke out with a hint of fear in her eyes, “Should we, should we call the police perhaps?”

“We can’t call the police!”

The moment Jiang Ying’s words fell, Su Qinglan, previously calmed by Lin Fei’s embrace and reassurance, became tensely rigid and vehemently interjected, strongly opposing Jiang Ying’s suggestion to notify the police.

Seeing that both Lin Fei and Jiang Ying were intently looking at her, Su Qinglan, the enchanting CEO, shook her head and whispered, “Just now, the person who called me. He said that Yingying was in their hands. If, if I dared to notify the police, they, they would kill her. He didn’t seem to be joking. For Yingying’s sake, we can’t, can’t call the police…”

“Then, then what should we do?! We, we can’t just sit around and do nothing, can we?!” Hearing the words of Su Qinglan, the enchanting CEO who opposed notifying the police to prevent harm to Xu Yingying, Jiang Ying became even more anxious and tense.

“Don’t worry, don’t be nervous. Even if we don’t call the police, I have a way to find Yingying. Right now, the most important thing is for you to think of a way to keep those abductors engaged. When that person called you earlier, did they make any demands? Like, a ransom or something?”

Lin Fei’s last question was clearly directed at Su Qinglan, the enchanting CEO. Only by understanding the abductors’ motives could Lin Fei find the right solution.

After Lin Fei finished speaking, Su Qinglan, the enchanting CEO, responded as if waking from a stupor, “Yes, they made demands. In addition to not allowing me to call the police, they, they also demanded that I prepare, prepare ten million, ten million in ransom. If, if I don’t have it ready within twelve hours, they, they will also, also kill her.”
