When it came to this savior, Pei Zhao's first thought was Xu Wan's husband, but did her husband really have that much ability?

Or did Xu Wan know someone even more powerful?

Pei Zhao didn't care about that; he just hoped that person would come quickly and rescue Xu Wan.

Pei Zhao contacted several other colleagues, telling them to be careful, and then he stood guard outside Jinqi's father's courtyard.

He had been standing there for less than half an hour when a phone call came in.

It was an unfamiliar number.

Pei Zhao didn't think much of it and answered the phone directly.

"You're Pei Zhao, right? I'm Xu Wan's husband, Jiang Tingzhou."

The man on the other end of the phone introduced himself first.

Pei Zhao was not surprised at all and quickly said, "Mr. Jiang, I'm so sorry, I really didn't expect this to happen. If I had known, I would definitely have accompanied Attorney Xu to take the child home."

He has been feeling guilty ever since just now.

Why didn't he think of accompanying Xu Wan to take Xiao Jinqi home?

That way, this kind of thing definitely wouldn't have happened!

"Enough with all that, just give me the details first," Jiang Tingzhou said, getting straight to the point.

Pei Zhao first told Jin Qi's father about his wife running away yesterday afternoon, and then told him about what happened tonight.

After saying that, he added, "I just went into the house with the village chief and we couldn't find him. But I'll be keeping watch outside tonight. If he goes out, I'll secretly follow him!"

"Thank you for your hard work. My people may not arrive for several hours."

Jiang Tingzhou hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

After hanging up the phone, Pei Zhao felt even more guilty and stayed at Jin Qi's doorstep with utmost vigilance, afraid of missing any movement.

He stood there for most of the night, until the sky began to lighten, and then, leaning against the wall, his eyelids started to droop...

"Over there!"

A voice suddenly rang out, startling Pei Zhao out of his drowsiness.

He rubbed his eyes, looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a group of people rushing towards him.

After the group rushed to Jinqi's house, they lined up and completely surrounded the courtyard gate.

They were all dressed in black suits, all over 1.85 meters tall, with clearly defined muscles, and they all looked like trained fighters.

A slightly shorter man stepped out from the crowd and approached to ask, "You must be Pei Zhao, right?"

Yes, yes.

Pei Zhao had never seen anything like this before and was terrified.

The man introduced himself, "Hello, my name is Lü Wei, and I am Mr. Jiang Tingzhou's bodyguard. He is currently on a business trip out of town and may not arrive for a while. We came here first to see if we could find him."

Pei Zhao glanced at the at least twenty or thirty well-trained bodyguards behind him, swallowed hard, and then said, "That person is still inside. He hasn't come out yet, and there's been no movement."

Lu Wei nodded, walked to the gate of the courtyard, and kicked the gate open.

"Woof woof woof!"

The dog in the yard was startled awake and barked loudly.

Someone seemed to have been prepared, picked up a dog leash, and used it to lasso the dog, tying it to the side.

Then everyone rushed into the yard and started searching.

Jinqi's father was woken up by the noise and rushed out of the yard to see someone demolishing his house. He immediately became furious.

But when he saw clearly what was in the yard, all of them were tall and burly, with fierce faces, and were all well-trained men, his anger subsided, and he shouted, "What are you doing!"

Lu Wei pushed through the crowd, walked up to Jin Qi's father, and asked directly, "Where are you keeping Attorney Xu locked up?"

"What lawyer Xu, lawyer Wang? I don't know what you're talking about! I'm telling you, you've demolished my house here, you have to give me an explanation and pay me compensation! Otherwise, I'll fight you to the death!"

Jinqi's father shouted, his neck stiff.

Lu Wei remained calm: "Don't worry, our boss is very rich. He can afford to demolish your house, or even your whole village. But on the contrary, if you really kidnap Lawyer Xu, one life is definitely not enough to compensate you."
