Hong Chen being kidnapped is not a rare occurrence.

Every so often, alligator heads of all sizes in Westburg would encounter similar incidents.

Assassinations, extortion, framing, and other forms of treachery are rampant.

Because West Fort is close to Wall One, it is the throat of the desert power center and its position is extremely important. The collusion of interests is like a spider web, with countless forces and a mixed bag of people.

A mere Hong Chen couldn't even make a splash.

Zhu Ying was simply completing her work in a routine manner.

After all, Hong Chen was in the business of sandcastles and had close ties with the military. It was because of his help that the embassy was able to gain the military's support.

If Hong Chen were gone, the master would probably be in a real bind.

Following the radio route, the intelligence arrived at the embassy in an instant and was copied onto a document. Held in both hands, the document was passed through several corridors and a central hall to the main hall downstairs, where it was handed over to the guard. After being taken away, the guard ran to the neighboring Shen Mansion and handed it to Shen Xihai's subordinates.

Within ten minutes, the intelligence document was placed in front of Shen Xihai.

Under the floor lamp, Shen Xihai sat cross-legged on a single sofa, his brows furrowed as he looked down at the document.

"Hong Chen has been kidnapped?"

Wu Yuchuan stood in front of Shen Xihai with a surprised expression.

"Yes, you should show this document to Mr. Meng as soon as possible."

Wu Yuchuan took the document, glanced at it himself, and nodded: "I will give it to him as soon as possible. The master is currently meeting with Lord Yuan at Wall Number One, so we probably won't know until tomorrow."

Shen Xihai raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Where's Wang Fang?"

"They're in his room. We'll take them in when the master returns tomorrow."

Shen Xihai pointed to the document in his hand: "What do you think about this?"

Wu Yuchuan frowned and said, "Hong Chen has helped us a lot after all. Now that he has been kidnapped, we can't just sit idly by. Moreover, there are some confidential documents in Hong Chen's company that point directly to the embassy. They can be used as evidence to frame you."

Shen Xihai waved his hand: "Those documents are all in my hands, there won't be any problems."

Wu Yuchuan thought for a moment and then said, "Your troops still need the gun in Hong Chen's hands. I suggest that after Wang Fang goes in tomorrow, you go there in person to select a new leader to maintain the overall situation, and then slowly investigate Hong Chen's whereabouts."

"Who do you think did it?" Shen Xihai asked.

"They are nothing more than some enemies who want to set a trap for the embassy. I am new here and cannot make any judgment, but you know this better than I do."

Shen Xihai stood up with a smile and paced around, saying, "Their methods are rather crude. My mortal enemies aren't that despicable."

"Then what do you think..."

Shen Xihai shook his head. "I can't say for sure either."

For some reason, he had a gut feeling.

“After the Sandcastle coup, the master took me with him when he left. Chen Fusheng knows this, and so does Qin Che. They might not be so unwilling to find us,” Wu Yuchuan said.

Shen Xihai looked up at him and asked, "Do you think this matter has anything to do with Wang Fang?"

“This…” Wu Yuchuan hesitated.

Shen Xihai: "Jiang Tianfeng is not as clean as Chen Laogui in his actions. Compared with his cousin, he is still too young. Wang Fang and forty others left the sand fortress. Such a big commotion, how could no one know?"

Wu Yuchuan said, "They left Sand Castle disguised as merchants. To this end, Jiang Tianfeng detained all forty merchants who entered Sand Castle that day, erased their identities, and secretly killed them. Therefore, it was impossible for Wang Fang's forty people to be exposed."

"It's better to be safe than sorry."

"Let's assume that if Chen Fusheng knew that the Conservative Party had sent people to Xibao to gather evidence for Lord Yuan, would he tell Qin Che?"

Wu Yuchuan smiled and said, "Probably, but definitely not immediately."

“You also know Chen Laogui’s character. After the coup, he made the party a dictatorship in Shabao and will be able to continue to serve as its leader in the future. He will never kneel down to Qin Che and become the second Sha Qingsui.”

Shen Xihai frowned and said, "So you think that Old Ghost Chen will delay for a few days before informing Qin Che about this matter, because he knows that Chaofan will definitely find a way to get rid of Wang Fang. Once Wang Fang is dead, Lingbi City will never recklessly wage war over a rumor."

Wu Yuchuan said, "This matter is inherently difficult. Sand Castle is an internal coup, and in principle, the First Wall should not meddle in other people's business. However, now that Lord Yuan is involved and the matter is extraordinary, if there are strong witnesses, the First Wall cannot turn a blind eye."

"With Lord Yuan's full support, the likely outcome is that the extraordinary will be eliminated first, along with the faction he operates in the Black Street. Although Old Ghost Chen will be weakened, the First Wall will never interfere in the internal affairs of Sand Castle. Moreover, their Radical Party currently enjoys such high support within the castle. As long as they are willing to hand over the synthetic starch technology, we can do them a favor and everyone will be happy."

Shen Xihai gave a cold laugh and said nothing more.

Because everyone knows why Lord Yuan is pushing this matter so hard.

Isn't it all for the synthetic starch technology in the hands of the extraordinary?

At that time, as long as everyone cooperates, he will only kill Qin Che, which will not have any impact on the overall situation.

Shen Xihai reviewed the events in his mind several times.

He always had a feeling...

It's like everyone's certain that the extraordinary will die.

Is it really that easy?

Isn't that underestimating that young man named Qin Che?

...

"Come on, let me review it for you."

Outside a room resembling an interrogation room, Qin Che and Lina stood by the window, gazing at the stunning and magnificent night view of West Castle.
