"Whether there's anything or not, only she knows!" Chen Ke's voice was sharp and piercing. "Li Yulin, I'm giving you one last chance to persuade Li Susu to come back to me, otherwise, CN Group can just wait to go bankrupt!"
“You…” Li Yulin trembled with anger. He knew it was useless to reason with a madman. He hung up the phone and prepared to think of another way.
However, before he could even leave the office, he was surrounded by a group of men in black.
"Who are you people?!" Li Yulin asked warily.
"Miss Chen requests your presence." The leader of the men in black spoke in a cold, unquestionable tone.
Li Yulin realized he had fallen into a trap. He fought back fiercely, but was outnumbered and eventually forcibly taken away and locked in a dark room.
The bad news spread like wildfire back to China.
Li Chenglin practically rushed into Fu Xingzhou's office, his anxiety barely concealed: "Xingzhou, Yulin's in trouble in Z country! He's been kidnapped!"
Fu Xingzhou, who was reviewing documents, looked up abruptly upon hearing this, a cold glint flashing in his deep eyes: "What happened? Tell me in detail!"
“CN Group is now firmly under Chen Ke’s control. Yu Lin has been working tirelessly in Z country to stabilize the situation. Today, he called Chen Ke and his tone was very unpleasant. After that, we couldn’t reach him. Our people found out that he was taken away by a group of men in black. It’s highly likely that Chen Ke did it!” Li Chenglin’s tone was urgent, and his fists were clenched tightly.
Fu Xingzhou's face was terribly gloomy. He got up and paced back and forth in his office, his slender fingers tapping the table repeatedly with a dull sound.
"We absolutely cannot let Su Su find out!" Fu Xingzhou said firmly. "If she finds out, she will definitely go back to Z country at all costs. That's Chen Ke's territory. If she goes there, she might not be able to come back!"
"I know, but what should we do now?" Li Chenglin also realized the seriousness of the situation, his brows furrowed.
Fu Xingzhou stopped in his tracks, his gaze sharp as a knife: "I'm going to Country Z."
"You're going yourself?" Li Chenglin asked with some concern. "It's too dangerous!"
"Yulin is my brother, I have to go!" Fu Xingzhou's tone left no room for argument. "This time, you must keep a close eye on Susu and make sure nothing happens to her!"
"Don't worry, I will stay by her side every step of the way!" Li Chenglin solemnly promised. "You must also be careful!"
Fu Xingzhou didn't say anything more. He immediately began to gather people and gave orders to collect information on Chen Ke. He wanted to find out everything about this woman so that he could formulate a rescue plan.
Before leaving, Fu Xingzhou went to the ward. Li Susu was leaning against the headboard reading a book. When she saw him come in, she put down the book and gave him a slight smile: "Why are you here?"
Fu Xingzhou walked to the bedside, gently stroking her cheek, his eyes filled with tenderness: "I came to see you."
Li Susu keenly sensed that something was wrong with his mood and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Is there something you're hiding from me?"
Fu Xingzhou forced a smile: "No, it's just that there's something going on at the company, and I need to go on a business trip for a few days."
"A business trip?" A hint of worry flashed in Li Susu's eyes. "Where are you going? When will you be back?"
"I'll be back in a few days from Country Z," Fu Xingzhou replied evasively, then lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead. "Be a good girl and wait for me to come back. I hope that by then, you'll remember everything from the past."
When Fu Xingzhou's private plane landed at the capital airport of Country Z, it was already late at night. His expression was cold and stern. Without lingering, he went straight to the safe house that had been arranged in advance.
"President Fu, we've found several locations where Chen Ke might be hiding." The subordinate handed over a document, his tone grave. "But they're all heavily guarded, making it difficult to confirm whether he's inside."
Fu Xingzhou took the documents, quickly glanced through them, and frowned. The locations shown in the documents were all Chen Ke's properties in Country Z, including private villas, high-end clubs, and even an underground casino.
“These places are too dangerous,” another subordinate said worriedly. “If we act rashly, we might alert Chen Ke, or even make things worse for him.”
Fu Xingzhou tapped his fingers lightly on the table, producing a dull sound. His gaze was sharp as a knife, as if it could pierce through everything. "If a direct attack doesn't work, then we'll use strategy."
"What Mr. Fu means is..."
"To catch the thief, first catch the king." Fu Xingzhou said coldly, "Just kidnap Chen Ke directly."
“But Chen Ke’s influence in Country Z is deeply entrenched, and he must have many bodyguards around him. How easy would it be to kidnap him?” The subordinate hesitated.
His subordinate's words weren't without merit; kidnapping Chen Ke was indeed extremely risky. But a ruthless glint flashed in Fu Xingzhou's eyes. It was all or nothing; he couldn't afford to gamble with Li Yulin's life. "Where there's a price, there are bound to be brave men," he said in a chilling tone. "Find the best mercenaries. I want it to be foolproof."
Soon, a well-trained mercenary team was assembled. Fu Xingzhou briefly explained the plan and then disappeared into the night.
Night fell, as if thick ink had been splashed across the sky. Inside Chen Ke's private villa, the lights were on.
"How is Li Susu doing?" Chen Ke sat on the leather sofa, tapping her fingers on the table with a dull thud.
"Miss Li is out of danger, but she seems depressed and refuses to eat," the assistant replied respectfully.
"Hmph, she's got some backbone." Chen Ke sneered. "What about Li Yulin? Has he confessed?"
