"Okay... all done!" Dr. Tao put the paper in his pocket and pulled back the curtain.
Guangcheng, the old Xu family residence.
In the study on the second floor, Lu Haifeng stared wide-eyed at Xu Jingyan. "What did you say? The Han family's daughter was also kidnapped to Huangtu Village? Wasn't it said that they would only target Qiu Mang?"
Xu Jingyan sighed, "My target was only Qiu Mang, but who knew that Tian Jingjing would be so unreliable and cause me so much trouble!"
Lu Haifeng stood up and paced back and forth in the study. "We already had a hard time dealing with Lu Yanting, and now this situation..."
“I know, that’s why I’m anxious too! I wanted to go to Huangtu Village with them before, but Han Feng and Lu Yanting both said it was dangerous there and not suitable for girls. I think Lu Yanting must have found out something. It seems like he’s hiding everything from me. Even when he was discussing things with Grandpa Han in the study that day, he had the servants block the door. I didn’t know anything about it.” Xu Jingyan said anxiously.
"Should we tell President Xu about this?" Lu Haifeng asked.
Xu Jingyan shook her head, "Forget it, it's my own fault, let's handle it ourselves, no need to trouble my dad!"
Lu Haifeng frowned and said, "How do you plan to resolve this? Rescue Han Bing? You should know that if Han Bing comes back, Old Master Han will find out that our enemies will not only be Lu Yanting, but also the powerful Han family!"
Xu Jingyan walked to the window, looking in the direction of Huangtu Village, her eyes suddenly turning cold. "We can't let Han Bing come back alive, and we can't let Old Master Han know her whereabouts. We'll go to Huangtu Village ourselves!"
Two days later, the two quickly drove to Huangtu Village.
Inside the office on the first floor of Zhao's Pharmaceutical Factory.
The three of them sat on the sofa.
The secretary poured three cups of tea, gently placed them in front of the three people, and then withdrew.
"Miss Xu, Mr. Lu, you've arrived! Why didn't you let me know? I could have sent someone to pick you up!" Zhao Lei gripped the cup handle, the scar on his hand looking even more terrifying.
Xu Jingyan glanced at his hand and said slowly, "Zhao Lei, can't you find a way to remove the scar on your hand? It's such an obvious feature. Are you afraid Lu Yanting won't be able to find you?"
Zhao Lei slowly put down his teacup, his tone somewhat cold and hard, "Miss Xu, what are you saying? Who wants to live with scars for the rest of their life?"
It's all because he was injured when he helped Xu Ming assassinate someone, leaving him with scars. And now, Xu Ming's daughter is actually standing up and questioning him!
Lu Haifeng tugged at Xu Jingyan's arm, trying to smooth things over, "Miss Xu was just concerned about President Zhao."
Xu Jingyan knew this man had a bad temper and was her father's right-hand man, so she could only soften her tone, "What I mean is, when you kidnapped Lu Yanting, you didn't leave any evidence. He only remembers the scar on your hand! I'm just reminding you to be careful."
Zhao Lei sneered, "Lu Yanting? If he's capable, let him come. Do you think I'm afraid of him? What we need in the basement is guinea pigs. If he comes, he can give us a chance to test the new drug, but..."
He looked at Xu Jingyan's gentle face, "But, Miss Xu, I hope you won't ruin things like you did back then!"
"I……"
Zhao Lei gestured for her to stop, "Let's not talk about the past. My subordinate did accidentally stab Miss Xu. Miss Xu was also a victim. After all these years, I hope Miss Xu won't hold it against me!"
Xu Jingyan picked up her teacup and took a sip. "I'm not here to reminisce about the past. I'm here to tell you that Lu Yanting and Han Feng have arrived in Huangtu Village. Be careful!"
Zhao Lei was taken aback, then sat up straight, his eyes suddenly turning sinister. "Don't worry, now that they're here, I won't let them leave alive!"
"There's something else I'd like to see Han Bing!" Xu Jingyan said.
Zhao Lei nodded. "If you don't mind the smell in the basement, then go ahead! I'll send someone down in an hour."
Having said what they needed to say, Xu Jingyan and Lu Haifeng got up and left Zhao's Pharmaceutical Factory.
As she reached the door, she brushed past Lu Yanting, who was wearing a human skin mask.
Xu Jingyan and Lu Haifeng were so focused on meeting Han Bing later that they didn't notice the "foreign man."
After the two had walked away, Lu Yanting turned around and looked at their backs, then smirked and said, "These two really are in cahoots!"
He chuckled softly, then continued walking inside.
Inside the office, Zhao Lei had already prepared tea and was waiting for him. As soon as he saw "Jin Huanxu" enter, a fawning smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Oh my, Mr. Jin, you've arrived! Come, come, please have a seat! I know you enjoy our Chinese tea, so I've prepared it all for you. Here, take this with you when you return home!"
As Zhao Lei spoke, he took out a beautifully packaged box of tea from the drawer and placed it on the table in front of Lu Yanting.
Lu Yanting looked at the tea leaves, a delighted expression on his face, and said in broken Chinese, "Thank you!"
Zhao Lei's tone was somewhat ingratiating, "Mr. Jin, you've been here for a few days now, how are you finding it?"
Fearing he might not understand, she added, "In other words, what do you think of Miss Mermaid? Are you satisfied with her service?"
Kim Hwan-wook smiled mysteriously, "Of course, Miss Mermaid is the most beautiful Eastern woman I've ever seen! I'm extremely satisfied!"
Zhao Lei had anticipated this answer. His subordinates reported that Mr. Jin spent almost 24 hours a day in Miss Mermaid's room and didn't even go back to his own hotel. Could this be considered normal satisfaction?
Seeing this, Zhao Lei immediately pressed his advantage, "Then... about our cooperation?"
Lu Yanting smiled. "I can consider it. Draft the contract again, and I'll come over to sign it tonight! Right now... I need to go see that little vixen! I can't wait!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lei immediately smiled obsequiously, giving an "I understand" look. "Alright, alright! Then you go! Mr. Jin's important business cannot be delayed. I've already given the order that from now on, no one is allowed to stop Mr. Jin from going down!"
Lu Yanting smiled, got up, and walked outside.
After taking a few steps, Zhao Lei noticed that he hadn't taken the tea leaves from the table. Just as he was about to call him back, his phone suddenly rang.
He took out his phone and saw that it was a call from Goryeo.
He was a little confused, but he answered the call anyway.
"Hello, is this Mr. Zhao Lei?" The voice on the other end of the phone spoke even more broken Chinese than "Jin Huanxu," and his tone was inevitably tinged with anxiety.
"Who are you?" Zhao Lei asked.
"Mr. Zhao, I've finally gotten in touch with you! That's great! Here's the thing, I'm Mr. Jin Huanxu's assistant. Mr. Jin went to China for an inspection this time, and for his safety, I installed a tracking system on his phone. I can see Mr. Jin's location, but I've noticed that he's been in one place for several days without any signs of activity. I suspect that he's been kidnapped!"
Zhao Lei's pupils contracted sharply, a sense of foreboding washing over him. He looked at the tea leaves on the table. "You mean, Mr. Jin, was kidnapped?"
