Now, she's certain her parents aren't inside. So, where are they? Are they still alive?
Nighttime, Colin Manor.
A sharp, jarring sound of glass shattering echoed through the living room, followed by Qiao Ri's angry shout, "In K country, you can still lose track of people? What use are you!"
"Sir, they drove off in an armored car. They were going so fast that they got to the outskirts of the city, where they can no longer be found on surveillance footage. But we've expanded our search area," the leader replied.
Qiao Ri noticed something amiss: "Where did they get their armored vehicles?"
The leader, sweating profusely from the questioning, replied, "We haven't found that yet."
"We couldn't find her, we couldn't locate her, we've brought her right to our doorstep, and you can't do anything about it!" Qiao Ri hadn't been this angry in a long time. Apart from the setback he suffered at the hands of Qiu Jing a few years ago, he was now experiencing it again, this time through his beloved daughter.
The authoritative and ruthless voice rang out again, "I'll give you a few more days. If you still can't find them, you'll all come back with your heads."
"yes".
At this moment, Fu Shen and Qiao Yi came in. Fu Shen had just met Qiao Yi at the door. This heir of the Qiao family was a wolf in sheep's clothing. If Qiao Ri hadn't refused to marry, how could it have been his turn?
He also politely greeted him, "Young Master Qiao."
Joey didn't agree, but just glanced at him sideways, smiled mockingly, and went inside.
Joey walked in front, and Fu Shen walked behind.
As soon as they entered, they saw Qiao Ri throwing a tantrum. Qiao Yi was already used to this kind of scene. "Uncle, why are you throwing a tantrum again?"
Fu Shen took the initiative to greet him, "Mr. Qiao."
"Why are you here? Did you have news?"
"My informant in the Lin family of Mu City just told me that the head of the Lin family has been imprisoned."
Fu Shen approached the Lin family of Mu City a few years ago, and now he has connected with the Colin family, frequently traveling back and forth between the two places.
"How did he get in?" Even Qiao Ri was a little surprised. His old fox friend was always quite cautious.
“It’s Ning Yizhan. He’s been going against the Lin family for the past few years, but I never imagined he would become so strong.” Fu Shen spoke of Ning Yizhan with resentment. He would probably never forget the humiliation Ning Yizhan had brought him over the past few years.
“Ning Yizhan? I think I’ve heard that name before.” Qiao Ri slowly recalled, and finally remembered, “That old fox told me that he had always wanted to bring him down, but he had never succeeded. I didn’t expect that he would be brought down first. How embarrassing. Tell me more about this person.”
Fu Shen recounted his story in great detail, from his background as one of the five major families in Qincheng to his return from studying abroad, and even how his own family's bankruptcy was largely due to Ning Yizhan. He explained that Ning Yizhan had only recently returned to China to start his own business when he acquired the nearly bankrupt Fu Group… Until three years ago, he finally had the opportunity to take revenge. He approached Qiu Hu and, in alliance with the Lin family, deprived Ning Yizhan of his chance to become the Ning family's heir, because the Ning family needed a successor of excellent character, even though he only lost his opportunity for three years. During those three years, he also suffered considerable exclusion and retaliation from the Ning family and Ning Yizhan, forcing him to seek refuge with the Lin family, looking for a more powerful backer—the Colin family.
The conflict between Ning Yizhan and the Lin family of Mucheng was not merely a conflict between him and the Lin family, but a conflict between two families. The two families had been competing in the market for decades, with the Lin family even resorting to some unsavory tactics, escalating the conflict. More than twenty years ago, the Ning family's daughter and the Lin family's son fell in love. Both families believed this was a conspiracy by the other, and in the end, the young lady ran away and the young master abandoned fame and fortune—these were Lin Ning's parents.
Seeing the Ning family growing stronger and stronger, especially with Ning Yizhan, the young and outstanding heir, the Lin family realized they had to come up with a plan. They joined forces with Fu Shen in Qincheng, intending to make Ning Yizhan lose his position as heir and cause the Ning family to lose face.
But they didn't know that Ning Yizhan harbored deep resentment and had made him lose his position as heir. He had been secretly investigating the Lin family these past few days, hoping to make them cease to exist. If it weren't for his advance planning, the Lin family, which was already on the verge of collapse, would have already been reduced to ashes.
"This guy is interesting! He's decisive. If I could recruit him, my team would definitely be even stronger." Qiao Riming was clearly interested in Ning Yizhan and had already started daydreaming.
A few seconds later, Fu Shen shattered her dream, "But, Mr. Qiao, Ning Yizhan is Qiu Hu's boyfriend, and as far as I know, they have a very good relationship."
“That’s the enemy. He’s ruthless.” Qiao Ri was on high alert, his eyes filled with deep calculation.
"Mr. Qiao, what should we do next? Qiu Hu is here, and Ning Yizhan is very likely to be here as well."
"Fu Shen, take a group of people and check if this Ning Yizhan is in K Country!"
"Okay, Mr. Joe."
Joey, who had been listening to their conversation, finished speaking. "Uncle, is Qiu Hu one of Qiu Jing's men? Speaking of which, Qiu Jing's medicine is really potent. My people at the research institute got the wrong medicine, and I used it a couple of days ago. Many of my friends ended up in the hospital." "No wonder. You've been looking for Qiu Jing. And what about you..."
Before Joey could finish speaking, Joey interrupted him, warning, "You need to watch where you're talking, and you should also cut back on your partying!"
Joey listened to Joey and immediately shut his mouth.
Qiao Ri knew what Qiao Yi hadn't finished saying. He wanted to ask if the poison in his body was also very potent. Years ago, before Qiu Jing escaped, he poisoned Qiao Ri with a kind of poison. Every now and then, he would experience convulsions all over his body and splitting headaches at night. The research institute had been studying it for so many years but had not been able to develop an antidote.
