"I can give you the money, but Zhan Xiuwen, listen to me carefully." Qiao Wanwan said firmly, "If anything happens to Xiao Jiu, I, Qiao Wanwan, will pursue you to the ends of the earth and make sure you and everyone behind you die a horrible death!"
After Qiao Wanwan finished speaking, she opened the laptop next to her and pressed the confirmation button.
Zhan Xiuwen then left, satisfied.
"Madam," Jiang Dong knocked and entered, "Are you alright?"
"I'm alright." Qiao Wanwan took a deep breath, stopping her tears. "How is it? Did you track down Xiao Jiu's location?"
“Luckily you were quick-witted and insisted on seeing Young Master Jiu. We used the most advanced tracking methods. Just now, through Zhan Xiuwen’s phone, we talked to Young Master Jiu for a few dozen seconds and tracked his location. He is in Southeast Asia, but not in a fixed location. Young Master Jiu should be in a moving car.” Jiang Dong handed the iPad to Qiao Wanwan. “When the connection was lost, the location was here.”
"It seems that our opponents also guessed that I would track their location, which is why they had Xiao Jiu video chat with me in the car."
"Yes, didn't we previously estimate that Young Master Jiu was being held in that factory? Now it seems that he has been moved, and even moved abroad. Once he's abroad, rescuing him won't be so easy, since it's no longer our territory."
Qiao Wanwan raised her hand and pressed her temples. "Now that the money has been given to Zhan Xiuwen, they will definitely become even more ruthless and continue to extort us with Xiao Jiu until they have emptied the Dijing Group."
"Madam, if this continues, we will be in a very passive position and be led by the nose."
"So we must rescue Xiao Jiu as soon as possible," Qiao Wanwan instructed. "Since Xiao Jiu is in Southeast Asia, let's devote all our manpower and resources to the rescue there."
“Madam, Southeast Asia doesn’t have the same level of surveillance coverage as China, and the security there is also poor. The other party took the Ninth Young Master there precisely because they knew it would be difficult to rescue him.”
“No matter how difficult it is, we have to go.” Qiao Wanwan said resolutely, “In order to prevent them from moving, we will first control the perimeter. No matter how much money it costs, we will control all the main traffic routes and conduct a thorough search. Even if we can’t find them for a while, we can keep them within that area and then conduct a carpet search.”
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."
......
Qiao Wanwan kept Zhan Xiuwen's involvement with the contract a strict secret, but for some reason, it still reached Wen Lijing's ears.
When Wen Lijing arrived, Qiao Wanwan was standing by the window, lost in thought.
"Wanwan," Wen Lijing said, his face grim, "when did this happen?"
Qiao Wanwan struggled to regain her senses and asked, "What?"
"When did you find out that Jing Ting wasn't dead?"
Qiao Wanwan frowned. "How did you know?"
"That's not important. I just want to know, when did you find out that Jing Ting wasn't dead? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Why should I tell you?" Qiao Wanwan said calmly. "As for when I found out, he is my husband. Even if he changed his face, I could recognize him at a glance."
Wen Lijing gave a self-deprecating laugh, "Wanwan, do you know? The way you're looking right now makes it seem like you're mocking me..."
“I never meant to mock you.” Qiao Wanwan turned to look at him. “Li Jing, perhaps Jing Ting’s survival is not good news for you, but for me, it is salvation.”
Wen Lijing closed his eyes briefly. "That's right, I never thought Jingting was still alive."
"Li Jing, let go," Qiao Wanwan pleaded almost desperately. "All I want now is to find Xiao Jiu, to reunite the family, please grant my wish, okay?"
Wen Lijing raised his hand and grasped her shoulders, a morbid obsession in his eyes, "Wanwan, it doesn't matter if we can't get married, it doesn't mean we can't be together."
Qiao Wanwan looked at him in disbelief, "Are you crazy?"
"Perhaps." Wen Lijing smiled calmly. "Perhaps I started to go crazy the day I met you."
Qiao Wanwan pushed his hand away and took two steps back. "This is a morbid possessiveness of yours, and you want to possess something that doesn't belong to you! And have you ever thought that since Jing Ting is safe and sound, will he agree to this? You know Jing Ting's character very well, he will definitely not let you go!"
"I know."
"So you still have such thoughts?"
Wen Lijing's expression remained unchanged. "Wanwan, I have nothing to be afraid of."
"How could you become so obsessive?" Qiao Wanwan asked, both helpless and angry. "You're clearly a gentle and refined gentleman, why have you turned out like this?"
“Wanwan, you still don’t understand me.” Wen Lijing smiled. “I’ve always been stubborn. Isn’t Jingting just as stubborn? Didn’t he go through countless hardships to get you? What he can do, I can do too.”
"Shut up!" Qiao Wanwan snapped. "Jing Ting is different from you. Everything he does is based on his love for me."
"I love you too, even more than he does!"
"Stop deceiving yourself!" Qiao Wanwan gave a bitter smile. "Your so-called love is incredibly selfish. In reality, you love yourself and your own desires! Jingting's love has never hurt me. He has never forced me to do anything I didn't want to do. That's the difference!"
"You can compare me to anyone, you can belittle me however you want, I don't care." A resolute glint flashed in Wen Lijing's eyes. "The fact is, you must keep your promise."
Qiao Wanwan suppressed her anger, but her fingertips still trembled uncontrollably!
Wen Lijing took a room key out of his pocket, placed it in her palm, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
Jiang Dong knocked and entered. Seeing that Qiao Wanwan's expression was off, he asked, "Madam, what happened?"
Qiao Wanwan closed her eyes briefly. "Li Jing's condition for saving Eleven was that I marry him, but something unexpected happened during my divorce proceedings with Jing Ting, and we couldn't get a divorce."
"Now that he knows Jing Ting isn't dead, he's naturally panicked. He gave me the room key, and his meaning is quite clear."
"How could President Wen do this!" Jiang Dong was furious. "Madam, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing sooner!"
“Telling you won’t help, and you’ll definitely object anyway, but I’m determined to save Eleven.”
Jiang Dong snatched the room key from Qiao Wanwan's hand. "Madam, leave this to me. I will never let him succeed. Even if it means dying together, I will never let him get near you again!"
Just as Qiao Wanwan was about to say something, her phone suddenly beeped with a text message notification.
She picked up her phone, opened the text message, and her pupils suddenly contracted!
"Madam, what's wrong? Was it a message from Wen Lijing?"
"No." Qiao Wanwan put away her phone. "Give me the room key. Don't interfere in this matter. I'll handle it myself."
"Madam, what do you intend to do?"
"I'll say it again, I'll handle it myself."
......
Although Wens Group's business scope is not as extensive as that of Dijin Group, it also owns five-star hotels.
At 8 p.m., Qiao Wanwan arrived at the hotel and went straight to the top floor.
