One minute later, all four people in the private room collapsed.

The man guarding the door pushed it open and went inside.

He walked up to Old Master Bo and kicked him.

Mr. Bo did not react at all.

He sneered, picked up Old Master Bo, and walked outside.

Upon arriving at the door, he threw Old Master Bo into the car parked there, then tied his hands and feet and taped his mouth shut.

Then, he drove off.

The people in the card room woke up half an hour later.

The first to wake up were the bodyguards and security guards who were first put down.

After the bodyguards woke up, they immediately ran to their respective masters' private rooms to check on their safety.

It was found that almost all the staff and customers in the card room were unharmed; they had only been unconscious for half an hour.

But Old Master Bo was nowhere to be found!

Mr. Bo's bodyguard immediately dialed his number.

The call was answered shortly afterward.

The bodyguard was overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief.

The call went through, which means the old man is alright; he must have just gone out on his own.

But as soon as he relaxed, his heart tightened up again.

Because the person who answered the phone wasn't the old man!

A young-sounding, sinister male voice came from the other end of the phone.

The other party didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "I've kidnapped Old Master Bo. If you want him to live, have Fifth Master contact me personally."

After saying that, the other party hung up the phone before the bodyguard could speak.

"Who are you? How is the old man now?!" the bodyguard asked anxiously.

But the call had already been disconnected, and the other party hadn't heard him, so naturally there was no reply.

The bodyguard was both anxious and scared.

The old man was kidnapped under their protection. Regardless of whether the old man was harmed or not, they will not escape punishment!

But right now, the most important thing is to rescue the old man first, and then we can think about other things.

The bodyguards immediately divided the tasks: one contacted the owner of the card room to retrieve the surveillance footage and see if they could identify who had kidnapped the old man.

The bodyguard who answered the phone immediately dialed Ye Chen's number.

At this moment, Ye Chen was racking his brains in the online store, trying to think of a gift to buy for Shi Nian as an apology.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

He thought it was Shi Nian calling him, so he quickly took out his phone.

It turned out to be the number of the old man's bodyguard.

His eyes darkened, but he still answered the phone.

The people around the old man would only call him if there was something important to say.

Did the old man lose money again, or did he get into a fight with someone?

"Fifth Master, something terrible has happened! The old master has been kidnapped!"

As soon as the call connected, the bodyguard's anxious voice came through the phone.

Ye Chen's heart sank, and a chilling aura emanated from him. "What's going on?"

The bodyguard's voice was choked with sobs, "This morning, the old man invited some people to the card room to play chess, but the accident happened not long after he arrived..."

"The old man was already in the private room with his friends. We were waiting for him in the waiting room on the first floor, as we always did. But then, for some reason, everyone in the waiting room suddenly fell unconscious..."

"He was unconscious for about half an hour before we all woke up, but when we went upstairs to check, we found that the old man was gone!"

"I just called the old man's cell phone, but a strange man answered. He said he had kidnapped the old man and that if you want him to live, you should contact him personally, Fifth Master!"
