"It's all arranged, don't worry." Ning Qingyan checked the time; it was almost time for school to end. She picked up her phone to make a call, but all she heard was a cold notification tone.
Her expression darkened slightly, and a sense of foreboding washed over her.
In Tianhai, at a prestigious private school, Xin Xin had already finished school. Two bodyguards escorted her out of the school gate in a specially made Iveco vehicle, her personal car.
The moment the bodyguard opened the car door, two sharp hissing sounds rang out, and several specially made Japanese concealed weapons shot out from inside the car.
Caught off guard, the two bodyguards were struck in vital areas. Their bodies stiffened, and they collapsed to the ground, trembling violently.
A man with a distinctive Japanese mustache quickly subdued Xin Xin and knocked her unconscious by striking her on the back of the head before she could scream.
The car door closed, and the car quickly drove away from the scene...
At the Jinghong Club, Ning Qingyan's hair was pulled up high, and she had changed into a black outfit.
She carried a Miao sword, exuding a murderous aura.
Hundreds of people had already gathered at the clubhouse. She said sternly, "Listen up, everyone! Even if it means turning Tianhai upside down, find Li Changbo as quickly as possible."
"Yes." Hundreds of people bowed in unison, and then left.
Ning Qingyan controls the Heavenly Banner, and her intelligence organization is exceptionally powerful, but Xin Xin's kidnapping still makes her uneasy.
"Don't worry, Xin Xin will be fine." Ye Xingchen had already finished making the call and used all his connections to find Xin Xin.
With Ye Xingchen present, Ning Qingyan felt somewhat at ease. She said bitterly, "I should have just killed Li Changbo. I never expected him to be so unscrupulous in his fight for Xin Xin's mother's inheritance."
"Perhaps this isn't aimed at Xin Xin, but at you and me?" Ye Xingchen said calmly.
"What did you say? What do you mean?" Ning Qingyan was startled.
“Li Changbo is a good-for-nothing. Do you really think he would dare to kidnap Xin Xin? If he dared to do it, then someone must have instructed him to do so.” Ye Xingchen said, “You have the Jade Slip Heavenly Book, and the Soul Locking Pill in my hand is also being eyed by someone.”
“Xin Xin is very important to you. If something happens to her, I won’t stand idly by. So the ultimate goal of kidnapping her is still me or you.”
"Who is it?" Ning Qingyan was speechless.
"No matter who it is, he must die." Ye Xingchen's expression was icy.
In a room at a club, decorated in pink, a single rose rests on the pristine white sheets.
"Young Master Chu, I've already had Xin Xin sent to you. Damn, Ning Qingyan's strength is truly formidable. The entire route was under martial law today, alarming both the legitimate and criminal worlds."
Li Changbo was on the phone: "The thing you promised me..."
"Don't worry, you won't lose a single penny. Take the money and get out of here," Chu Xiang said impatiently.
"Yes, I've already booked my flight. I'll be leaving later." Li Changbo nodded and bowed as if he were a grandson while holding the phone.
After hanging up the phone, he lay comfortably on the bed waiting for the service lady to arrive.
He showed no concern whatsoever for his own daughter's situation, let alone any remorse.
The door opened and someone walked in.
"Give me a massage first," Li Changbo said without even opening his eyes.
Unexpectedly, a soft hissing sound came from the sheath of a long sword, followed by a sharp pain in his palm.
"Ah..." Li Changbo screamed hysterically. He opened his eyes and saw a long, slender sword pinning his hand to the bed.
The person holding the knife was Ning Qingyan, with Ye Xingchen following behind him.
Five minutes later, on the rooftop, Li Changbo was kicked onto the rooftop.
"Where is Xin Xin?" Ning Qingyan asked sternly.
“It has nothing to do with me, I don’t know,” Li Changbo cried out hoarsely, clutching his injured hand.
"Let me do it." Seeing that Ning Qingyan was emotionally unstable, Ye Xingchen stopped her.
He took a few steps forward and pointed to the edge of the rooftop: "Stand over there."
Li Changbo shook his head frantically; this was the twentieth floor, and he was afraid of heights.
Snap...
Ye Xingchen raised his hand, and a whip ripped open on his thigh.
Li Changbo was stunned for a moment, then he screamed and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
*Slap slap slap* Ye Xingchen taught him a lesson with three lashes.
"Stop hitting me, I'll go over there, I'll go over there right now," Li Changbo pleaded desperately, then walked tremblingly to the edge of the rooftop.
He trembled violently, his eyes tightly shut due to his extreme fear of heights; he felt as if he were dying.
"Where is Xin Xin?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"I, no..." Li Changbo stopped abruptly before he could finish speaking.
Because Ye Xingchen had placed one hand on his shoulder, Ye Xingchen's smile gradually widened: "Your last chance."
Li Changbo swallowed his lie in frustration and revealed the truth: "Chu Xiang... he made me do it, and he also assisted me in doing it."
"Xin Xin is being taken to him right now. Please let me down. I'm afraid of heights."
"Why would he do that?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“I don’t know the details, all I know is that he wants what Ning Qingyan has.” Li Changbo was terrified.
"One last question," Ye Xingchen stared at him, "Pushing your own daughter into the abyss for money, don't you feel any remorse at all?"
“I, I…” Li Changbo didn’t know how to answer the question.
"Xin Xin is your biological daughter, the only daughter in this world of the woman who loved you to death but was abandoned by you in the end."
Ning Qingyan said sternly, "You'd risk your own daughter's life for money, Li Changbo, you're really something."
"I was wrong, Miss Ning, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me, I won't do it again." Li Changbo pleaded, "Besides, I, I studied law, and you, you are breaking the law right now."
"Breaking the law?" Ning Qingyan laughed angrily. "Do you know? Your life is less than that of an ant."
Ning Qingyan's face suddenly filled with murderous intent. She suddenly kicked out and slammed her foot hard into Li Changbo's chest.
Li Changbo let out a scream and fell from the twenty-plus-story building. The scream gradually faded and eventually disappeared.
“I have no grudge against Chu Xiang, so why would he do this?” Ning Qingyan said through gritted teeth.
"The Chu family works for the Japanese, and their ultimate goal is still the jade slip and heavenly book in your hands." Ye Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Save Xin Xin first, and then settle accounts with the Japanese slowly."
A three-story villa, this is Chu Xiang's private club.
On the first floor of the villa, Chu Xiang opened many bottles of red wine and was drinking them by himself.
"Young Master Chu, the person has been delivered." Just then, two subordinates carried in a sack.
The sack was opened, and Xin Xin was still unconscious inside.
Chu Xiang leaned closer for a look and his eyes lit up: "Hey, this little girl is quite pretty."
