Chapter 396 Xu Mo is Trapped



In the quiet corridor, Gu Yiming leaned wearily against the wall. When considering the mastermind behind Fanfan's kidnapping, his first thought was of business enemies. Besides, he had offended many people in the business world; he wondered which one it was.

Ultimately, it was all his fault. Hu Haoran's suggestion had indeed made him hesitate, since it would be extremely dangerous for them to stay here any longer.

The wait for the results was too agonizing, so he took out his phone and dialed the number of the prison police.

The call was quickly answered, and he asked directly, "Have the kidnappers spoken?"

The police officer on the other end of the phone reported truthfully: "There are still no results. The kidnappers seem to be certain that you won't kill them, and they refuse to reveal who the mastermind is."

Gu Yiming coldly said, "Continue the interrogation! Keep interrogating them until they are willing to talk!" He still didn't believe that these kidnappers had no fear when facing death!

He angrily hung up the phone, then dialed his subordinate's number and asked coldly, "How's your investigation going?"

The subordinate on the other end of the phone said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, President, after so many days of investigation, we still haven't found a single clue."

"Continue the investigation! Don't let any clue slip by!"

He will never give up, no matter what! If he finds out who the mastermind is, he will make them pay a heavy price!

Jiang Hua suddenly pushed open the door and came to him, saying softly, "The doctor said Fanfan can be discharged now. Go and complete the discharge procedures. I'll pack my things and go home right away."

Gu Yiming's initial anger and tension completely subsided when he learned that Fanfan could be discharged from the hospital. He looked at her gently and said with a soft smile, "Okay, I'll go now."

He quickly completed the discharge procedures and arrived at the ward, where Jiang Hua had already packed everything. He went to Fanfan and whispered, "Go home and rest well."

Jiang Kefan nodded obediently.

Standing to the side, Ye Qingqing immediately suggested, "To celebrate Fanfan's recovery, I'll treat everyone to dinner later!"

Jiang Hua shook her head and smiled, "No need to be so polite."

Hearing her tactful refusal, Ye Qingqing rolled her eyes and bluntly said, "It's decided then, Jiang Hua, you have no right to refuse!"

She chuckled softly. Ye Qingqing was still as decisive and straightforward as ever. But then again, it was precisely because of her personality that they had become such good friends. After all, sometimes when she had something on her mind, she would confide in Ye Qingqing, and being with her made her feel completely relaxed.

After leaving the hospital, Gu Yiming drove them to a famous restaurant nearby.

The scenery outside the car window flashed by. Ye Qingqing, sitting next to Jiang Hua, suddenly raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Huahua, I suddenly feel that your complexion has become very good lately."

Jiang Hua asked suspiciously, "Really?" Strange, she felt that she had become much more haggard recently because of Fanfan's matter.

Ye Qingqing clicked her tongue a few times, looked her up and down, and then teased, "In my opinion, it's because of the nourishment of love that you've become more and more beautiful. You can't tell at all that you're a mother."

Her face instantly turned bright red, and she glared at Ye Qingqing, annoyed and embarrassed, saying, "Qingqing, can you please stop teasing me all the time! I think you're the one who's been enjoying the glow of love lately." As she finished speaking, her gaze intentionally or unintentionally drifted towards Hu Haoran, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

"Oh my, you're teasing me now! Don't think you're intimidated just because you have Gu Yiming backing you up!" Ye Qingqing glared at her before reaching out to punish her.

"No...stop...Qingqing...hahahaha..." Jiang Hua laughed as she dodged her clutches.

Ye Qingqing laughed loudly while scratching herself, "Let's see if you dare to tease me again next time!"

Jiang Hua laughed until tears streamed down her face, and immediately begged for mercy, "Miss, I won't do it again."

Ye Qingqing snorted coldly before pulling her hand back, which meant she let her go.

The five of them soon arrived at the restaurant. Ye Qingqing was treating, so she naturally ordered a lot of dishes. The sight of the delicious food placed on the table instantly whetted their appetites and stimulated their taste buds.

Gu Yiming looked at Jiang Hua with a doting expression, and casually picked up a piece of lion's head meatball and put it into her "medicine": "Eat more, you look like you've lost a lot of weight recently."

Seeing this, Ye Qingqing snorted coldly and said sourly, "This display of affection is blinding me."

"You should eat more too." Hu Haoran smiled gently and put a piece of chicken into her bowl.

Ye Qingqing's expression softened instantly. She raised an eyebrow and showed off to Jiang Hua before lowering her head to start eating.

After a satisfying meal, Jiang Hua looked at Ye Qingqing and suggested enthusiastically, "Qingqing, let's go shopping. The two men can carry what we buy, how about that?"

Ye Qingqing nodded in agreement with a delighted surprise.

The next day, Xu Mo returned from abroad. Looking at the sea of ​​people at the airport, he smiled faintly. He hadn't told anyone he was returning, so upon disembarking, he immediately took a taxi to the hotel his assistant had arranged beforehand.

The assistant, who was already waiting at the hotel, saw him arrive and immediately came to him respectfully, saying, "Your accommodations have been arranged. I'll take you there."

He nodded, then followed his assistant into the elevator to rest. However, as they entered the elevator, the assistant, who was walking in front, unexpectedly lost his footing and fell. Xu Mo, who was behind him, also fell due to a moment of carelessness, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and grabbed the edge of the elevator console.

He climbed with all his might, shouting for help, "Is anyone there? Please help me!"

Wan Qi, who happened to be passing by, heard the cries for help and immediately came into the elevator. Seeing Xu Mo trapped inside, she exclaimed, "Wait for me, I'm coming to rescue you!" Then she ran out to find others to help.

Hotel security personnel and staff arrived quickly and rescued Xu Mo, who was trapped in the elevator.

"My assistant also fell down, please save him quickly." Xu Mo said anxiously after surviving such a disaster.

Wan Qi looked at him and gently comforted him, "Don't worry, your assistant will be fine."

Moments later, the assistant was rescued by the crowd, severely injured. Fearing for his life, he immediately called an ambulance to take the assistant to the hospital.

Afterwards, Xu Mo breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Wan Qi and said gratefully, "Thank you. This time it was my assistant's negligence that didn't know the elevator was malfunctioning and under repair. If it weren't for you, I might have been in mortal danger."

Wan Qi smiled gently and said, "You're welcome."
