The atmosphere suddenly became quiet for a moment.

Lu Zixin hesitated for only two seconds before telling the truth, "I just received a call from the kidnappers. They said that Ziying is in their hands. I also heard Ziying's voice..."

"30 million is the ransom?"

Gu Jingchen suddenly interrupted her.

"yes."

Lu Zixin nodded, and a glimmer of hope rekindled in her eyes as she looked at Gu Jingchen. "Mr. Gu, the other party threatened me not to call the police. Our Lu family..."

Her expression suddenly became somewhat embarrassed, and after pausing for two seconds, she continued, "My father and I are both recuperating abroad now, and we don't know what happened to Ziying. Ziying must not be in any danger again! Can you..."

"Ms. Lu."

Tang Ze suddenly stepped forward and interrupted Lu Zixin.

Seeing that Gu Jingchen didn't stop him, he continued, "Ms. Xia Xiaomo, Mr. Gu's assistant, has also been kidnapped. They should be together. Do you know what happened between them during this period, or what Mr. Lu has been up to?"

"What? Mr. Gu's assistant also..."

Lu Zixin's heart skipped a beat when she heard that, and she suddenly thought of the night Lu Ziying came to see her a few days ago.

Isn’t Xia Xiaomo the girlfriend that Gu Jingchen publicly acknowledged before?

How come Ziying was kidnapped with her?

Lu Zixin kept twisting her fingers, looking a little confused, and vaguely uneasy in her heart.

After a long pause, he hesitated and said, "Ziying hasn't contacted me much recently. But as far as I know, she has been recuperating at home for some time and hasn't even been to the company much. So I was surprised to receive a call today..."

Things seemed to be getting more and more confusing.

Gu Jingchen's eyes darkened, and he ordered directly, "Tang Ze, go check where Lu Ziying has been since last night, and whether she has had contact with anyone during this period. As for Miss Lu..."

He looked at Lu Zixin and paused for a moment, "Please stay here."

"Thang..."

Lu Zixin nodded, and then hurriedly asked, "Mr. Gu, are you going to call the police or..."

"Let's talk later."

Gu Jingchen threw out two words.

There are still a few hours left before the time specified by the other party.

If his guess was correct, maybe he could find them in advance!

The office fell silent.

Gu Jingchen and Lu Zixin both sat nervously in their seats, waiting for news from Tang Ze.

Another half hour passed—

"Boss Gu! I've found someone!"

Tang Ze suddenly pushed the door open and walked in, his face showing some excitement. "We tracked down Ms. Lu's car and went to Cheng's early this morning, but no one at Cheng's had seen her. In other words, she didn't go upstairs. About an hour later, it was Assistant Xia's time to go out..."

“Crack!”

Suddenly there was a crisp sound from the sofa.

After hearing what Tang Ze said, Lu Zixin accidentally knocked the cup in her hand against the edge of the coffee table.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Jingchen frowned, suspecting that Lu Zixin was hiding something.

Lu Zixin met Gu Jingchen's inquiring eyes and suddenly felt a little guilty.

She probably knew why Ziying was kidnapped together with Miss Xia!

Because she likes Gu Jingchen!

She didn't listen to a word I said that day!

I'm afraid he was so angry that he made an appointment to meet Miss Xia, and then the accident happened.

But why did they meet downstairs of Cheng’s building?

Did I just happen to meet a bad guy again?

Lu Zixin's heart was in a mess.

"Miss Lu, do you know anything else?"

Gu Jingchen's voice came with pressure and low pressure.

Lu Zixin hurriedly shook her head, "No, I just... feel a little flustered."

She didn't know that Gu Jingchen already knew Lu Zixin's thoughts and wanted to keep it a secret for his sister.

Gu Jingchen was in no mood to ask further questions and continued, "Check the surveillance cameras near Cheng's and track all the vehicles that passed by during that time period."

"yes."

Tang Ze turned and left again to make a phone call.

A few hours later—

Dusk falls quietly.

The dim sunlight infinitely magnified people's anxiety.

The people sent by Gu Jingchen also did not make any movement.

Lu Zixin became increasingly restless.

"Boss Gu, otherwise we should..."

She hesitated and wanted to call the police, but before she could finish her words——

"Boss Gu, I'm looking for you!"

Tang Ze suddenly rushed in from outside and shouted, "We found a suspicious vehicle that drove out of the city during the time Assistant Xia fired the alarm. People leaving the city also found that someone was using electricity in Hengyue Group's abandoned warehouse!"

"Walk!"

Gu Jingchen stood up instantly and rushed out!

On the other side——

The setting sun cast a gray gloom over the empty warehouse.

Lu Ziying and Su An were tied together and had not had any water for a whole day.

The kidnappers, however, had gotten some food from nowhere and were already full and ready to collect their money.

"Hey, do you think they'll be willing to prepare the money? They won't call the police, right?"

One of them asked.

The other person snorted in disdain upon hearing this. "Tsk, rich people like them are so timid. I don't know about that woman, but she..."

He pointed at Lu Ziying and said confidently, "Her sister would definitely not be willing to take risks with her. After all, a sister is much more valuable than a mistress."

Several people analyzed the "value" of Lu Ziying and Su An.

Lu Ziying's nerves were tense and she couldn't help but curse at him, "You are a bunch of untrustworthy lunatics!"

"Huh? Credit?"

Several people looked at her in unison.

A few seconds later, a fat man stood up with a smile, squatted in front of Lu Ziying with a seemingly "kind" look, and lifted her chin.

"Otherwise, how could you be deceived by us? You are such a naive young lady to keep your word with people like us..."

"Pooh!"

Before he could finish his words, Lu Ziying spat directly on his face!

"Ziying!"

Su An's heart tightened when he saw this.

Then I saw the fat man's face changed instantly and he raised his hand!

“Bang!”

There was a crisp sound of slapping.

Blood instantly flowed from the corner of Lu Ziying's lips.

Then the jaw was tightened again!

"You stinky bitch! How dare you spit on me!"

The fat man had ferocious features. Looking at the face in front of him that was full of resentment and yet also a bit gorgeous, he suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly and laughed.

"By the way, do you really hate people touching you?"

As he spoke, he glanced back and forth at Lu Ziying with a meaningful look, with an indelible stickiness in his eyes.

"you……"

Lu Ziying was keenly aware of the danger and was so frightened that she stopped breathing for a moment.

The man's hand became increasingly dishonest, sliding slowly down her chin and across her neck, muttering, "I'm a person who loves to go against others. What did you want to do to that woman before?"

As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Su An and raised his eyebrows.
