Returning to 1990: I Rely on Entrepreneurship to Get Rich

Renowned economist Ma Yunfei is reborn to the year 1990. To his surprise, he finds himself with a beautiful wife and an obedient daughter. He vows to become the world's richest man and create a...

Chapter 246 Rescuing the Boss's Daughter

Ma Yunfei speculated that Xia Tian was very likely kidnapped by Wang Xiaobian, but Xia Tian was not in immediate danger.

Perhaps Wang Xiaobian kidnapped Xia Tian so that she would smuggle herself to Southeast Asia with him to see the company he had invested in.

Wang Xiaobian's plan was to show Xia Tian his company, hoping to win her back and get her to agree to marry him.

Although Wang Xiaobian is a bit silly, he still has a shrewd side.

Now that Xia Jiufa has reported the case to the police, the police will expedite the investigation.

Xiao Jie said anxiously, "Brother Ma, you can't just stand by and do nothing. I think you should come to City A right away."

Ma Yunfei said leisurely, "Xiao Jie, how could I stand idly by? Absolutely not. The question is: does Xia Jiufa welcome me? You can try to find out Xia Jiufa's attitude."

Xiao Jie immediately called Xia Jiufa: "Uncle Xia, is there any news about Xia Tian now?"

"Not yet. The police have already opened a case and are working hard to solve it."

"Uncle Xia, I think we should find more people to help, instead of just you running around doing everything yourself."

Xia Jiu sighed and said, "This case can't be helped by more people; we still have to rely on the police to solve it."

"Uncle Xia, there's an old saying: 'Three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang.' With more people helping, there will be more ideas. I think we should send Jack Ma. He's quite shrewd, has a lot of ideas, and is very courageous."

Xia Jiufa decisively refused, saying, "Xiao Jie, there's no need to let Ma Yunfei come. He'll only cause trouble. I don't trust that guy. He's a married man, but he has ulterior motives towards my daughter. If we let him come, wouldn't that be like inviting a wolf into the house?"

“Uncle Xia, I also know Ma Yunfei and have met him a few times. I think you may have misunderstood him. He is a very upright person. He only has brotherly feelings for Xia Tian and has no ulterior motives. Moreover, he is definitely not a lecher.”

“Xiao Jie, speaking of Ma Yunfei, I have to give you a few words of advice: Now that you are divorced and a single woman, you should keep your distance from men like Ma Yunfei and avoid associating with him. This guy is cunning. Don’t be fooled by his seemingly virtuous appearance; he’s actually full of tricks.”

Xiao Jie hadn't expected Xia Jiufa to be so prejudiced against Ma Yunfei, so she could only say dejectedly, "Uncle Xia, since you don't like Ma Yunfei, then forget it."

Xiao Jie called Ma Yunfei back and said disappointedly, "Brother Ma, you guessed right. Uncle Xia has a lot of complaints about you. He doesn't welcome you to come to City A to get involved in this case."

"Hehe... I guessed right. From the first moment Xia Jiufa met me, he was wary of me. I told him he absolutely did not welcome me to handle this case."

"Brother Ma, so you're just going to abandon Xia Tian?"

“Xiao Jie, Xia Jiufa doesn’t want me to get involved in this case, but I can’t just ignore it. I’m planning to come to City A tomorrow. My initial idea is to find a private investigation company and let them solve this case.”

"Brother Ma, Uncle Xia has already called the police, and they are investigating."

“Xiaojie, I think we can’t just rely on the police to investigate. Right now, the police force is stretched thin. Besides, Xia Tian’s case can’t be classified yet. Maybe the police will think that Xia Tian just had a few words with her father and then ran away from home. Therefore, it’s impossible to allocate a lot of police force to solve this case.”

"Brother Ma, where can we find a private investigation company?"

“Recently, I have been going to the library frequently to look up information, and I saw advertisements for several private detective agencies. I wrote down the phone numbers of these companies, which came in handy.”

"Brother Ma, did you already foresee this happening?"

"No, I just thought that these private detective agencies might be useful in business, but I didn't expect them to be useful in the case of Xia Tian's disappearance."

"Brother Ma, then hurry up and come over."

"Xiao Jie, I'll be arriving in City A tomorrow. My initial thought is to stay at your place, but I'm afraid that might disturb your life."

“Brother Ma, if you treated me like a sister, you wouldn’t say such polite things. I’m very angry.”

Xiaojie hung up the phone after she finished speaking.

Ma Yunfei smiled.

He returned to the sales station.

Seeing Ma Yunfei's serious expression, Chen Yuyan asked, "Honey, what happened again?"

"Honey, for the past two months, we've been selling our yams to Jiufa Company in City A. They offer the highest prices and don't cheat on the scales; they're a very honest company and a long-term customer. Yesterday, the company owner's daughter suddenly disappeared. What do you think we should do?"

Chen Yuyan exclaimed in surprise, "The boss's daughter has disappeared? Was she kidnapped? Was she trafficked? Was she murdered?"

Ma Yunfei sighed and said, "Anything is possible. The boss has already reported it to the police, but the police may not take this case seriously."

Chen Yuyan said anxiously, "Honey, since it's Jiufa Company that's in trouble, we can't just stand by and do nothing. We should go and help."

"Yes, that's what I think too. I feel that if we ignore this matter, it will discourage them, and things will become awkward for our two companies to do business together in the future."

"That's right. Since our two families are business partners, we should share the good times and the bad. Husband, hurry up and go to City A. Help out if you can."

"Wife, I want to bring Yeya along too, because Yeya knows martial arts, and having Yeya with me will help us avoid being seen."

Chen Yuyan asked, puzzled, "Honey, it might be inconvenient for you to bring Yeya along."

“Wife, Yeya is a silly girl, you should know that very well. Don’t let her shrewishness and domineering nature fool you, Yeya has a kind heart and is quite reasonable. It will be easier if I take her with me to rescue the boss’s daughter.”

Chen Yuyan thought: Her husband is right. If they rescued the boss's daughter, it would be inconvenient for her husband to be with her. Bringing Ye Ya along would help avoid suspicion.

Chen Yuyan knew what kind of person Ye Ya was, so he felt completely at ease when Ye Ya went out with her husband.

"Okay, but I don't know if Wild Girl will agree?"

"Wife, let me talk to Yeya. If we leave, your burden will be heavier."

“Honey, now that we have Tuqiu, we can manage. Tuqiu and I will each operate one scale, and the abbot will be in charge of delivering yams to City A. We have just the right number of people.”

Ma Yunfei persuaded Chen Yuyan, then beckoned to Ye Ya and said, "Come here for a moment."

Wild Girl ran over excitedly and asked, "Brother Ma, what's wrong? You're being so mysterious."
