"You've been kidnapped? Have you called the police? Were these injuries on you inflicted by them?"
Upon hearing that Jiang Manyue had been kidnapped and seeing Lu Fan so badly injured, she stood up angrily and asked Lu Fan a question.
"Why call the police? Do you think the police can find out anything? They're all in cahoots. You know that, don't you? These injuries on me are minor, but Wanqing is still in their hands. I had no choice but to agree to their terms."
Hearing Nangong Qi tell him to call the police, Lu Fan gave a helpless bitter laugh, shook his head, and said to Nangong Qi.
"Don't rely on the police. What conditions did the people from the Oriental Group offer you? What did you agree to?"
Nangong Qi remembered that she had previously asked her family to get Lu Fan out of the police force.
Having learned that the police station had a great relationship with the four major families, she didn't mention the police again. Thinking of what Lu Fan had just said, and having agreed to the other party's conditions, she asked him in confusion.
"They will only release Jiang Manyue after they see the news of my suicide five days later."
Lu Fan let out a long breath and answered Nangong Qi.
"What? He told you to commit suicide? Is there some deep-seated hatred between you two?"
Upon hearing that the other party wanted to kill Lu Fan, Nangong Qi was utterly bewildered. Even if there was some conflict, it shouldn't warrant taking the other party's life.
"It's a long story. I had Lu Yi do something for me before: go to the Oriental Group and kidnap Qu Pu, the son of their general manager, Mr. Qu. But what I didn't expect was that a huge oversight occurred—Qu Pu is dead!"
Thinking about this, Lu Fan was also very annoyed. If he hadn't kidnapped the music score and the other party hadn't died, none of this would have happened.
"The sheet music is dead!"
Nangong Qi's family is also one of the four major families, and she has met with Elder Qu in private.
The musical score was his own son, and he always took it with him wherever he went. He had only seen it a few times. When he heard that the musical score was dead, and that it had died at Lu Fan's hands, he screamed in surprise.
"That's right. My initial idea was to use this sheet music to blackmail the Dongfang Group. What I didn't expect was that something went wrong at some point, and the sheet music just mysteriously died..."
Lu Fan then recounted everything that happened afterward to Nangong Qi.
"Something feels off about this. Could someone be sabotaging us?"
After listening to Lu Fan's words, I realized that this matter was not so simple.
"You're right. After Han Tae came to the company, there was only one person left looking at the sheet music."
All because Jiang Manyue was kidnapped, Lu Fan also lost his usual composure.
Now that I've calmed down, I've realized that something was wrong with this.
Why did it stop?
Zhang Xinlei and Mr. Qu were driving towards the funeral home when they suddenly stopped halfway there.
Sitting in the back seat, Zhang Xinlei asked the driver.
"Someone blocked our way, and the car following us disappeared."
The driver looked straight ahead, swallowed hard, and replied to Zhang Xinlei.
"Damn it, I can't avoid it after all. I'm going down there to deal with them!"
Zhang Xinlei also turned her head to look behind her and saw that the car following behind had disappeared.
Then, seeing the group of people in front of him eyeing him menacingly with sticks, he got angry and wanted to get off the bus to deal with them.
"Don't get off! Driver, drive over there!"
Old Master Qu was a man of great experience, and he knew that if he went down at this time, he would likely be captured by the other party. So he grabbed Zhang Xinlei and gave orders to the driver.
"this……"
The driver heard Qu Laorang run over, something the driver had never done before. If someone died, he would go to jail.
For a moment, I didn't know what to do.
"Don't you understand? I told you to run over it."
Zhang Xinlei grabbed the driver by the neck and, seeing his hesitation, loudly questioned him.
"Okay, I'll crash!"
The driver was being choked by Zhang Xinlei and could be killed at any moment. Rather than be strangled to death by Zhang Xinlei, he might as well fight back.
Seeing that the driver had made up his mind, Zhang Xinlei also withdrew her hand.
"Brother Yi, they can't escape this time! Unless they dare to charge straight at us."
The person blocking the road was Lu Yi, who had rushed over after receiving the call. One of his henchmen, seeing the car had already stopped, happily said to Lu Yi.
"Charge! Oh no! Spread out to both sides immediately!"
As Lu Yi walked step by step toward Old Master Qu in his car, he overheard what his subordinates were saying.
Then, glancing at the already moving car, he quickly stepped aside and addressed the others.
After being reminded by Lu Yi, the others looked up and saw that the car that had been stopped was now heading straight for them.
They all scrambled to the side.
The car drove through the crowd, and Lu Yi's men quickly dodged, with no one injured. Then, the car sped away after crashing into the car blocking its path.
"Brother Yi has run away, what do we do now?"
His subordinate rushed to Lu Yi's side and anxiously pointed to the car that was getting further and further away.
"What do we do! Get in the car and chase after them!"
Lu Yi looked at the person who was still asking him questions at this moment, kicked the person to the ground, and said to the others.
Four or five cars quickly chased after Old Qu's car. Lu Yi knew that if he failed this time, it would be even more difficult to have this opportunity in the future.
The other party will definitely strengthen their security measures.
"Old Qu, where are we going now?"
The driver, seeing that they had already rushed out, wiped the sweat from his forehead and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then asked Mr. Qu and Zhang Xinlei in the back seat.
"Oh no, Mr. Qu, Assistant Zhang, they've caught up with us again!"
Before the driver could answer Zhang Xinlei's question, he looked at the cars following behind and said anxiously to Zhang Xinlei.
The driver didn't slow down either; his foot was almost touching the gas tank.
"Mr. Qu, let's go back to the company now. That's the safest place."
As Zhang Xinlei watched the car getting closer and closer, she began to panic and quickly said to Old Qu.
"What's there to be afraid of! They're just a bunch of nobodies. They'll continue on their original route to the funeral home. I'd like to see if they dare to make a move against me."
Old Master Qu remained completely calm and spoke to Zhang Xinlei, who was starting to panic.
"Yes, yes, Lu Fan's wife is still in our hands, so he wouldn't dare to make a move against us."
In their haste, they forgot that they still held the other side's Achilles' heel, and they relaxed and sat down in their chairs.
Although the person is no longer in his hands, he will not return to Lu Fan's side.
Lu Fan has no idea that they are under their control and will definitely still believe that they are in their hands, so he will never dare to make a move against them.
