Alright, there's something going on here. Jiang Huaishu seems to have a vague idea of ​​who said it!

"Who?" Bai Feng, Xie Jinzhou, and Shen Changxing all looked puzzled.

Lu Zhengjing picked up the glass of warm water, leaned back on the sofa, and slowly took a few sips, but did not reply to them.

Bai Feng: Hmph, Seventh Master, pretending to be mysterious!

Ring ring ring… Shen Changxing’s cell phone rang sharply.

"Hello, okay, got it, I'll be right back!"

While answering the phone, Shen Changxing had already stood up, preparing to leave.

After hanging up the phone, as he walked toward the door, he explained to those present: "Urgent mission. Huo Xu, the four-year-old young master of the Huo family, the richest family in Beijing, was recently kidnapped by kidnappers."

The other party is demanding a ransom of 5 million yuan. Police officers from various police stations across Beijing have been mobilized. I'm leading the team from the North District Police Station.

As soon as he finished speaking, he had already reached the door.

"Ah..." As Shen Changxing opened the door to run out, he bumped into someone. He immediately stopped and stood still to check the situation.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and dodged to the side, so the two only brushed past each other slightly.

When he saw that the person he bumped into seemed to be alright, he apologized and jogged away.

The person who was bumped outside the door was Zhou Qingqing. She pinched her left arm as if it hurt a lot, but pretended to be fine.

Then, she gently raised her head and looked into the private room, where she saw Lu Zhengjing in the center. She immediately showed a timely expression of surprise and shyness.

Then he explained softly, "Oh dear, so it's you, Master Lu, in this private room."

Hello, Mr. Lu Qi. I am Zhou Qingqing, and I am in the same department as senior Lu Zeyang.

We just met downstairs in the private room where Senior Lu treated us to dinner; it's right next door in room 603.

Inside, the smell of alcohol from the guys was quite strong, so I came out for some fresh air. I didn't expect to run into Master Lu again.

The men in room 601 were all shrewd; they could all see through Zhou Qingqing's little scheme.

Moreover, Zhou Qingqing's gaze towards Master Lu was too obvious; she was probably trying to hook up with a rich guy!

Bai Feng immediately wanted to whistle, but Jiang Huaishu stopped him with a look.

Lu Zhengjing gave a faint "hmm" and ignored her, treating her like a stranger.

Jiang Huaishu and the other two did not intend to speak up to defuse the situation, but waited to see what other actions she would take.

Zhou Qingqing could tell that the people inside didn't want to talk to her, but she wasn't particularly embarrassed.

Having basically achieved her goal, she said to herself, "It seems like my classmate called me, 'Seventh Master Lu,' so I'll be going now."

On the way, Zhou Qingqing was somewhat discouraged and unwilling to give up. The objectives of this high-level mission were indeed quite difficult.

It must be said that this era advocates equality for all.

Even when greeting strangers, people don't act as coldly and distantly as the men in the private room.

But soon, Zhou Qingqing was able to comfort herself and understand and accept their actions.

In her dynasty, high-ranking officials and nobles, especially the crown prince and princes in the palace, looked down on ordinary people.

People of different classes and social statuses are inherently not on the same level.

She felt that Lu Zhengjing and the others' behavior was normal; people of status have the right to be arrogant.

But at the same time, it also fueled her desire to conquer him.

Once it was confirmed that Zhou Qingqing was not an outsider in the private room, Bai Feng couldn't help but joke:

"Seventh Master, this Zhou Qingqing has ulterior motives towards you. Tell our nephew Zeyang to be careful and not be deceived."

"There are plenty of women in Beijing who have ulterior motives towards Seventh Master."

"You should worry about yourself, Lao Bai. You're divorced with a child; people find you repulsive," Xie Jinzhou said with a hint of smugness.

Currently, among the brothers, he is the only one in the honeymoon phase of his marriage. In terms of relationships, he certainly has more to brag about than the three single men present.

Jiang Huaishu: "Jinzhou, what you said is wrong. I seem to have heard that Bai Feng's ex-wife wants to remarry him?"

Bai Feng's ex-wife, Gu Yuting, worked as a data clerk in the municipal office; Jiang Huaishu had met her.

Recently, he has been vaguely noticing that something is off about Gu Yuting.

When his ex-wife was mentioned, Bai Feng looked resistant: "Pshaw, my ex-wife wanted to remarry me the day before yesterday."

Because she had a crush on that man, Liu Jun, and he was preparing to go abroad, going through the formalities, but he wasn't taking her with him.

That's ridiculous. Do you think I'm the kind of person who goes back to an ex?

Xie Jinzhou laughed loudly: "That's right, you're a good horse, you don't go back to eat the grass you've already grazed!"

Jiang Huaishu seemed to be deep in thought: Is Liu Jun, who made Gu Yuting abandon her husband and children, preparing to go abroad?

A thought flashed through his mind, and a certain guess was about to emerge. Jiang Huaishu, who had always maintained a gentle and refined demeanor, suddenly asked somewhat urgently, "Bai Feng, is Liu Jun going to the United States?"

"Yes, our Vice Mayor Jiang, you've discovered that Liu Jun has a problem?"

Bai Feng, though not as politically astute as Lu Qiye and the others, was not stupid either. He immediately revealed everything he knew:

"In my opinion, Liu Jun is a scoundrel and a hypocrite. He is related to the Liu family in Beijing, but he is a distant relative of Old Master Liu and Liu Laosan."

Jiang Huaishu: "Okay, it's hard to say for now. Some things need to be verified. I'll be going now."

"Um, Seventh Master, actually you don't need to regain your memories. You're fine as you are."

Jiang Huaishu always felt that Master Lu Qi had not lost his memory, or perhaps he hadn't lost all of it.

Lu Zhengjing: "......."

He really has amnesia, okay? Just talking to these familiar people brings up some blurry, fragmented scenes in his mind.

........

Meanwhile, in the lobby of the Huo family's residence in Beijing, the Huo family of three, along with four or five police officers, were waiting for news.

"Waaaaah... It's all my fault, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have taken Xiaoxu to dinner in the suburbs at night..." Guan Hezhi cried, burying her face in her hands, filled with remorse and self-blame.

Huo Kai, standing next to her, was also in a bad mood and very nervous: "Mom, don't cry. Didn't Director Zhang just say that he has already arranged for multiple people to search for her?"

I even asked my friends to help me look.

On the opposite sofa, Mr. Huo sat upright. Of course, he was also flustered and uneasy. It was his own son who had been kidnapped. However, as the head of the family, he forced himself to remain calm.

The phone in his hand was constantly on the line: with the police, with the kidnappers, with business associates, and even with people in the underworld.

He tried every possible solution.

He had prepared the 5 million ransom, but the kidnappers refused to reveal the exchange location and kept going in circles, so he could only try to appease them for the time being.

......

Before they knew it, it was already 10 p.m., and the kidnappers still hadn't specified a way to exchange the items.

At this moment, more than 100 kilometers away from Beijing, on the highway from Hebei Province to Beijing.

With a blade of grass dangling from her mouth, Chen Jinhua sped towards Beijing in her military green SUV.

Oh no, it's just that it's a bit too fast.

At this time of day, there are not many vehicles on the road.

Suddenly, a modified van appeared about 100 meters ahead.

When the van reached the fork in the road, about ten meters away from Chen Jinhua's SUV, it suddenly changed direction.

She deliberately slowed down and looked at the van. The driver and the man in the passenger seat had strange looks in their eyes.

They might seem panicked, but her intuition told her that the two men were like desperate criminals, exuding ruthlessness.

Although it was night, Chen Jinhua had excellent eyesight. Just as the van turned into the intersection, she vaguely saw a small hand, like a child's, clinging to the side window of the van.

Kidnapper or kidnapper?
