Xu Tingchuan had just finished kissing Ni Sitian when his phone on the bedside table vibrated. He quickly answered it and hurried outside so as not to wake her.
The call came from a company he had been working with for a long time. The other party spoke very nicely, saying they could help him solve his current cash flow problem, but in reality, they just wanted to get involved in his company's controlling stake.
He's received quite a few of these calls in the past few days; they're all from guys trying to kick someone when they're down and take advantage of the situation.
Xu Tingchuan calmly replied with a few words and then hung up the phone.
He went to the study, sat down at the computer desk, and opened the financial accounts from the CFO. No matter how he tried to scrape together the money, he was still short.
It would be acceptable to temporarily borrow the money from Pei Yang or Mu Zhi, but this is a business matter that he should resolve himself. He wouldn't ask for it unless absolutely necessary.
The several vacant properties I own have already been mortgaged, but that's just a drop in the bucket, unless...
Xu Tingchuan raised his hand to rub his temples, temporarily putting the matter aside, and opened his email to check his messages.
When he saw the photos in an email, his brows furrowed tightly. After browsing through them, his face darkened. He then clicked to view the sender's email address and replied with a three-word email: Who are you?
However, the email address shows that it is not receiving emails.
Xu Tingchuan exited the sending page and looked at the email in his inbox again.
There were seven or eight photos in total, all taken from a distance and were rather blurry, but he could recognize that they were the back gate of the Su family villa.
Li Rui actually walked into the Su family's house, and the person taking the photo even set a time display on the photo.
About half an hour after Li Rui entered the Su family home, a photo of a car driving into the Su family home was taken.
Then, there was a photo of Su Yan going out with a man wearing a hoodie.
Judging from the man's build, he seemed to be Li Rui. The two got into the car, and the car drove off.
That's all for the photos.
Xu Tingchuan was puzzled, so he sent the photos to the company's technicians to analyze whether they were photoshopped.
Within minutes, he received a reply confirming that the photos were all genuine. The technician even zoomed in on the details in the distant views and sent them back to him, making Li Rui and Su Yan's faces even clearer.
These photos are dated three days after the kidnapping, and Li Rui must have come to find Su Yan while injured.
Su Yan and Li Rui might have been in cahoots all along; no wonder he'd always felt something was off. Logically, Su Chengwen had suffered a stroke that day, so Su Yan should have been at the hospital with him. With so many people coming and going at the hospital, how could Li Rui have made his move then?
Besides, kidnapping Su Yan wouldn't serve any particular purpose, and going to such lengths would be pointless unless it was something very easy for Li Rui to do, in which case he would only consider using Su Yan to make Shen Muzhi suffer.
After thinking about it further, Xu Tingchuan's expression grew even more grim. If the series of negative public opinions surrounding the company after the kidnapping incident were manipulated by the Su News Group, it would easily explain why they escalated so quickly.
What is Su Yan trying to do? He doesn't remember offending her at all; they've barely even spoken. Why would she collude with Li Rui to harm him? Surely it's not because she likes Shen Muzhi, and Si Tian's friend married Shen Muzhi, that she's taking her anger out on them?
Li Rui is such a dangerous person, how dare she contact him? Su Yan should have mentioned Li Rui's case when she was around.
The more Xu Tingchuan thought about it, the stranger it seemed. He decided to test Su Yan's intentions another day.
Furthermore, who sent this email? Was it to help him, or did they have some other purpose?
