Chapter 81: Jinjiang Dufa Stay away from Lu Chiyuan...

Lu Chiyuan is not a person who will sit and wait for death. After being tricked by Gu Tingsen and guessing that Gu Tingsen's goal was this bidding meeting, Lu Chiyuan thought of asking Chen Xingxu for help.

If he were Gu Tingsen, after repeatedly hitting a wall with him and Jiang Chen, he would definitely settle for the next best thing and start with the people around him.

Lu Chiyuan thought carefully and the most likely person was Lu Mingxuan.

Lu Mingxuan is his right-hand man and has been by his side for many years. He knows his schedule and his decisions well.

So after Chen Xingxu told him that Gu Tingsen had made a move, Lu Chiyuan used the branch company's business to send Lu Mingxuan away, preventing him from getting involved in this bidding, and asked Chen Xingxu to take care of him secretly.

But what he didn't expect was that even though he was prepared, Lu Mingxuan still got into trouble.

Chen Xingxu explained what happened on the phone. Lu Mingxuan was a busy man. When he arrived at the branch, he began to make drastic changes. He was in the company hotel every day. The people around him were either business partners or work colleagues. He basically never met outsiders.

Chen Xingxu booked the room next to his, but did not meet him.

What was wrong was that a day ago, Lu Mingxuan met a girl in a hotel. The two seemed to know each other. Lu Mingxuan even had a meal with her in the hotel.

Chen Xingxu was far away and didn't know what the two people said. She only knew that the girl cried heartbrokenly in front of Lu Mingxuan and even pulled Lu Mingxuan to stop him from leaving.

Lu Mingxuan looked very annoyed, but he didn't bother with the other party any more. He simply got rid of him and left.

Just in case, Chen Xingxu sent people to follow the man and investigate him, but the other party had a strong anti-reconnaissance awareness and quickly got rid of his people.

The person who was investigating at the same time passed the news to Chen Xingxu, telling him that this person was Lu Mingxuan's ex-girlfriend.

Chen Xingxu felt that there was something wrong when he saw the news. After all, from his point of view, Lu Mingxuan had an ambiguous relationship with Xu Chen, and this ex-girlfriend who suddenly appeared was a blind spot in his memory.

He contacted Lu Mingxuan immediately, but found that his phone was not reachable. He went straight to the branch office, where the people there told him that Lu Mingxuan did not come to work today. They only sent a message in the company group, saying that he had something to do and would not come today, and that the work would be transferred to other people.

Lu Mingxuan came here to deal with the problems of the branch company. Now the problems have not been completely solved, and he can't suddenly quit.

Chen Xingxu reviewed his travels over the past two days, contacted the hotel for investigation, and asked his friends at the local traffic management bureau to check the car. He quickly located the direction in which Lu Mingxuan's car was last seen.

His car was on the highway, but he was not the one driving.

Lu Mingxuan just disappeared like that.

"Brother Lu, what should we do now? Do we need to call the police?"

Chen Xingxu didn't dare to act rashly. Given Lu Mingxuan's physique, it would not be easy for the other party to take him away quietly. It was hard to guarantee that they were not a professional team to be able to do it so cleanly.

Since it is a professional team, they must have some plans.

In the coffee shop, Jiang Chen sat upright. While Lu Chiyuan was talking to Chen Xingxu, he was also communicating with Xueqiu.

Snowball used the system to search and soon found some clues.

[Found out, the ex-girlfriend is not only a business spy, but also a special talent cultivated by the Gu family. Lu Mingxuan was taken to an abandoned warehouse in the village in the city by her. ]

Xueqiu passed the news and the geographical location to Jiang Chen.

[Is Lu Mingxuan okay? ]

[This shows that the vital signs are abnormal but not life-threatening. He must have been knocked unconscious. ]

Snowball cannot see specific character information, the system can only provide approximate data.

【As long as there is no danger to life. 】

Jiang Chen determined Lu Mingxuan's location and wondered if he had any available manpower.

Lu Chiyuan was still communicating with Chen Xingxu when a phone call kept coming in. Lu Chiyuan took a look and saw that it was the person in charge of the bidding.

Jiang Chen also saw it and said, "Brother, let me talk to Chen Xingxu, you answer the phone first."

The person in charge is no fool. If there wasn't a big problem, he wouldn't have contacted him so anxiously when he knew that Lu Chiyuan was calling.

Lu Chiyuan handed the phone to Jiang Chen and used Jiang Chen's phone to call the person in charge back.

Jiang Chen took the phone and lowered his voice and said, "Chen Xingxu, I'm Jiang Chen. Do you still remember my cousin Jiang Yu?"

Chen Xingxu asked, "Remember, is he working in the Public Security Bureau?"

Jiang Chen heaved a sigh of relief at Chen Xingxu's words. In the fan fiction world, the Jiang family and the Lu family were portrayed as being from the same lineage, but in reality, both families had numerous side branches spread across all walks of life.

Jiang Chen's cousin Jiang Yu is a criminal policeman engaged in criminal investigation. Two years ago, he was transferred to the area where Chen Xingxu is now.

Jiang Chen's clues did not come from a legitimate source, so it was impossible for him to give them directly to Chen Xingxu and let him take the risk.

"I'll ask my brother to contact you. He has experience in dealing with this kind of thing. Please keep the phone open."

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he prepared to contact Jiang Yu.

Xueqiu stopped him and said, "Change your phone and stay away from Lu Chiyuan."

Jiang Chen was puzzled, and Xueqiu said: [Guess why there are no collateral branches in the story? Of course, collateral branches are also indispensable and powerful aids to the growth of the family. The world consciousness even blocked his grandfather, so blocking your cousin is no problem. ]

The old man of the Lu family is a living golden signboard. His network of contacts is based on revolutionary friendship. With him around, a lawless outlaw like Gu Tingsen can't get away with it.

Similarly, someone in the Jiang family is in politics, so if Gu Tingsen is really involved in organized crime as his fans say, it would be a credit that comes naturally to him.

Jiang Chen broke free from the constraints of the plot, but Lu Chiyuan was still in it.

Snowball’s reminder is not without reason.

Jiang Chen waited for Lu Chiyuan to finish the call. He was thinking about how to find an excuse to leave. His mind was still thinking about what happened before he answered the phone. He asked with concern, "What happened?"

There was a hint of hesitation in Lu Chiyuan's sharp eyes. Before he answered, Jiang Chen's cell phone rang and the person in charge sent him a photo.

The photo shows an unconscious Lu Mingxuan. The background is messy and the lighting is dim. It is obvious that something is wrong.

The photo was sent a few minutes before the person in charge handed in his electronic device, leaving him with little time to think. He was already confused, and all he could think of was to call Lu Chiyuan to report.

There can be no problems with his bid, but Lu Mingxuan is equally important to the company.

Now Jiang Chen knew what happened without asking.

The other party is extremely bold and has nothing to fear.

Two things happened at the same time, both were equally important. Lu Chiyuan's face was as gloomy as water. He changed his phone back, looked at the photos on the phone, and said in a cold voice: "It's really a desperate dog."

Jiang Chen said: "I have connections here, I can contact someone to find Lu Mingxuan, don't worry, he will be fine."

Lu Chiyuan looked up: "I believe you."

Lu Chiyuan heard the voices of Jiang Chen and the system, and felt unfamiliar with the Jiang Yu mentioned by him. He really didn't know about the Jiang family's side branch, and even the grandfather mentioned by Jiang Chen...

In his memory, his grandfather had passed away a long time ago. Could the world have changed so much that even the dead could be resurrected? Or was it just him who had forgotten?

Lu Chiyuan was confused, but now was not the time to dwell on this as the person in charge was waiting for him to come over.

Time was running out, so he and Jiang Chen did not explain much in words. After making the interests clear, the two of them split up. He went to meet the person in charge, while Jiang Chen contacted Jiang Yu.

Just as Snowball guessed, the blocking of world consciousness caused Jiang Chen's first two calls to be unavailable numbers, and it was not until the third call that the call was connected.

Hearing Jiang Yu's voice coming from the other end of the phone, Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, called him "Brother", skipped the pleasantries, and told him about his current difficulties in a clear and logical manner.

Upon hearing about the case, Jiang Yu immediately took it seriously, wrote down the clues and phone number given by Jiang Chen, said a few words, hung up the phone and began to deploy rescue operations.

A Chen Xingxu, a Jiang Yu, and people from non-fan fiction worlds began to get involved. The game escalated from a game between people to a confrontation between worlds.

Jiang Chen put away his phone, took a sip of coffee, and looked at the gloomy sky outside the cafe.

Above the sky, dark clouds covered the city, the sky was dim, and the sun completely hid in the clouds. It was not even noon yet, but it was already dark as if night was approaching.

There was soothing music playing in the cafe, and it was particularly quiet because there were few people, but this did not make Jiang Chen relax.

His mind was active, thinking carefully about what happened today. Restricting people's freedom is already a crime.

[If Gu Tingsen is found out about this, even if he wins the bid, it will be invalidated, right? ] Jiang Chen was puzzled. No matter how arrogant Gu Tingsen was, he should consider the consequences.

Xueqiu said: [That's true, but how can you be sure that it's related to him? You have no evidence.]

[Can't the person who took Lu Mingxuan away and the photos he sent be used as evidence? ]

Xueqiu was silent for a while and said, "The person who took Lu Mingxuan away was his ex-girlfriend. It can be said that she was having an emotional dispute and was irrational at the time, so she did such a thing. As for the photo, there is no information in it, so what can it mean?"

Jiang Chen was shocked: [This is suspected of kidnapping, how can it be called an emotional dispute? ]

Snowball said as a matter of course: [Isn't this a basic world operation? As long as there is or has been a relationship, humans are particularly good at smoothing things over.]

Jiang Chen tried to refute that humans were not so confused as to not be able to distinguish between emotional disputes and intentional harm, but before he could say this, various examples in real life made him speechless.

There are too many victims who have been smoothed over in emotional disputes.

If the other party really insisted that it was an emotional dispute and did not cause any substantial harm to Lu Mingxuan, even if he was really taught a lesson, Gu Tingsen had plenty of ways to clear himself.

The absurdity and reality met, and Jiang Chen laughed in anger. He was silent for a moment, and gave up on arguing about this matter.

“Boom!”

There was a loud thunder outside the window, and silver-white lightning streaked across the sky.

Many people were startled by the sudden thunder and started complaining.

Jiang Chen looked out and saw another burst of lightning and thunder. There was a strong wind outside the window, and the grass and trees in the green belt were bent by the wind.

I don’t know what’s going on with Lu Chiyuan.

Jiang Chen was upset by the gloomy sky. He waited in the cafe and kept in touch with Chen Xingxu, concerned about the progress of their rescue.

I don't know how long it took, maybe a few minutes, or maybe dozens of minutes, the heavy rain, accompanied by the strong wind, fell cracklingly, and soon formed a mist on the ground. The air was filled with the smell of dust soaked by rain, occasionally mixed with a faint fishy smell.

The ice in Jiang Chen's coffee cup had melted long ago, the fan in the coffee shop was whirring, beads of sweat were oozing from the tip of his nose, and his phone was hot from being held in his hand.

He was waiting for news, but both sides fell silent as if they had agreed to do so.

Just as Jiang Chen was getting restless, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

Jiang Chen turned around abruptly and looked up, and saw Lu Chiyuan standing beside him. There was a little water stain on the cuff of his suit, and the color looked different from the surrounding area.

Jiang Chen stood up and asked, "Is it over?"

Lu Chiyuan straightened his sleeves and nodded slightly. His thick eyebrows knitted together, and his blue eyes showed a strange luster in the dim tone, with a frosty coldness.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen had a bad feeling in his heart: "Is there a problem with the bidding?"

Lu Chiyuan didn't say it too firmly: "It's a bit uncertain. Linfeng's offer is lower than ours, and they offer more profit."

Jiang Chen was surprised: "Gu Tingsen is willing to do a business at a loss?"

Lu Chiyuan smiled, and his eyes became colder: "How could he do a business at a loss? If he loses money on the quotation, he will naturally make up for it elsewhere."

There are many places where one can tamper with a project. What really makes Lu Chiyuan uncomfortable is Lin Feng's bid data, which is almost identical to their bid in terms of increase and decrease. The person in charge has already taken people back to prepare for self-inspection.

Lu Chiyuan came to pick up Jiang Chen, and they walked out of the cafe. The rain outside seemed to have subsided a little.

Jiang Chen's phone rang. When he saw Chen Xingxu's name, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly answered the call.

Chen Xingxu brought mixed news: "We found Lu Mingxuan, but his condition is a bit strange and we can't wake him up."
