Chapter 88: Jinjiang alone took the blame and gave it to Jiang Chen...
Huanyu Group, Shen Zhiyi did not go to Lu Chiyuan's house, but came directly to the company.
She wanted to go upstairs with her previous identity, but was stopped by the company security. The security didn't care what her previous identity was. Since she had left the Lu family, she had to follow the company's rules.
Shen Zhiyi was terrified and argued with the security guard. Suddenly, he fell straight down, foaming at the mouth and his face turned purple.
The security guard was shocked and immediately reported the situation.
After Lu Chiyuan learned about the situation, he called Jiang Chen. There was a busy tone on the other end of the phone, and a subtle sense of uneasiness surged in Lu Chiyuan's heart.
He ordered someone to send Shen Zhiyi to the hospital, and called Jiang Chen again, but it still showed that he was out of service area.
Lu Chiyuan turned on the location tracking function of his mobile phone. This was a software downloaded by Jiang Chen for him. It was originally used to ensure that Jiang Chen knew his location, but now it was used to track Jiang Chen.
But the signal source was blocked and he couldn't get Jiang Chen's location.
He was here safe and sound, but there was no news from Jiang Chen. Without much thought, Lu Chiyuan guessed who was behind this.
As fear crept up his back, anger filled Lu Chiyuan's chest. He clenched the phone in his hand and forced himself to calm down.
There's no point in panicking at a time like this.
He called the organizer of today's business reception and asked when Jiang Chen left. After learning the time Jiang Chen left, he asked Uncle Lin to help him check the whereabouts of Jiang Chen's car, while also not forgetting to inquire about Gu Tingsen's whereabouts.
Some feedback came back quickly.
Jiang Chen's car was parked in an inconspicuous alley. There was an electronic jammer and Jiang Chen's mobile phone in the car. Because it was a blind spot for surveillance and close to the old city, many facilities were broken and had not been repaired, so the footage captured by the surveillance was very limited.
When Lu Chiyuan arrived at the scene, the temperature inside the car had not yet risen, and the car had not been left here for long.
Lu Chiyuan unlocked Jiang Chen's phone and tried to find clues from it, but found nothing.
Lu Chiyuan was leaning against Jiang Chen's car. Someone brought the surveillance video of the entrance to the cocktail party, but because the parking attendant had his back to the surveillance video, the video was not very clear.
Lu Chiyuan noticed that Jiang Chen noticed something was wrong and pulled his hand back, but he was a step too slow.
The person who kidnapped him was also a martial artist, and was well-trained, without any unnecessary movements.
"Mr. Lu, we have verified with the hotel that this person is not a formal employee of their hotel. He is an hourly worker who was introduced by someone."
The assistant reported the information he had found out, saying that the other party came prepared and took advantage of the parking convenience to get Jiang Chen's car keys.
He drove Jiang Chen's car out for a while and then brought it back.
"In addition, I found out that Gu Tingsen's private jet has applied for a route and will fly overseas tonight."
The assistant also checked the vehicles under Gu Tingsen's name. Although he found the information of the plane, he did not find the matching vehicle information. Therefore, Gu Tingsen's whereabouts could not be determined for the time being.
The social nature at home and abroad is very different. If Gu Tingsen really takes Jiang Chen away, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Lu Chiyuan didn't hesitate and ordered: "Go to the airport."
But when he really got in the car and looked at the street lights passing by outside, Lu Chiyuan came to his senses.
Something is wrong, it's going too smoothly.
All this news came so smoothly.
Gu Tingsen couldn't have failed to think of this. What he could do, Lu Chiyuan could also do. If he really wanted to take Jiang Chen away, how could he not have any cover-up?
Just kidnapping openly like this, leaving a lot of tails for Lu Chiyuan to catch?
Would he really fly overseas? What if this was just a trick to distract Lu Chiyuan?
Lu Chiyuan was suspicious. There was dead silence in the car. The silence amplified his uneasy heartbeat. He kept reviewing the situation. Gu Tingsen must have a backup plan. What would he do?
The sudden ringing of a cell phone broke the silence in the car, and the assistant in the passenger seat quickly answered the call.
Lu Chiyuan looked over and saw the assistant sitting sideways, his tense expression becoming solemn.
He hung up the phone, turned to look at Lu Chiyuan, and said seriously: "Mr. Lu, the hospital called and said that Miss Shen could not be saved. The doctor did a toxicology test and it is basically confirmed that it was murder. The police are now at the hospital and our people are negotiating."
Lu Chiyuan raised his eyes and suddenly realized that Gu Tingsen was waiting for him here.
Shen Zhiyi is a useless chess piece. She poses no threat to Lu Chiyuan and cannot stop Lu Chiyuan's steps, but if she dies, the situation will be completely different.
When the police get involved, they have to investigate and collect evidence. The incident happened in Huanyu, and Lu Chiyuan, as a member of Huanyu's corporate management and Shen Zhiyi's former guardian, is bound to be questioned by the police.
Of course he knew how Shen Zhiyi died, and he could tell the police the truth, but in this case, who would guarantee Jiang Chen's safety?
As if to verify Lu Chiyuan's guess, Jiang Chen's phone vibrated and a message came.
Lu Chiyuan clicked on the message and saw a photo.
Jiang Chen was lying unconscious in the back seat of the car, his hands were tied behind his back, his coat was unbuttoned, his tie was loose, and two buttons of his shirt were undone, revealing his collarbone and chest.
The sharp blade was pressed against his heart, as if it could pierce it with just a little force.
Just as Lu Chiyuan finished looking at the photos, a strange phone call came in, and Gu Tingsen's cold voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Mr. Lu is a smart man. I'm sure you know very well which is more important, your lover or a sister you have no relationship with. As long as you help me leave safely, your people will be safe."
Lu Chiyuan held the phone and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
There was a sound of the knife handle hitting the car seat from Gu Tingsen's side. He seemed to be thinking, and deliberately dragged it out for a while before saying, "Go tell the police that you killed Shen Zhiyi."
Gu Tingsen took the ridiculous request for granted.
Lu Chiyuan laughed and said sarcastically: "The police are not stupid."
"That's because you didn't put your heart into it! Mr. Lu, you can choose between taking the blame or collecting Jiang Chen's body."
Gu Tingsen's voice came through the microphone, and a cold chill climbed up Lu Chiyuan's back along his tailbone. He raised his hand to signal to pull over and not continue to go to the airport.
"Gu Tingsen, your target is me. This has nothing to do with Jiang Chen. If you hurt him, even if I let it go, the Jiang family will not tolerate it. Do you really think that everything will be fine if you go overseas?"
Lu Chiyuan used Jiang Chen's phone to talk, and typed messages on his own phone, sending them directly to his assistant.
[Contact lawyer Li and ask him to go to the hospital to handle Shen Zhiyi's funeral and cooperate with the police investigation.]
The Lu family has a legal team, and professional matters should be left to professionals, rather than just following whatever Gu Tingsen says.
A desperado like him has no integrity, and every word he says cannot be trusted.
"Mr. Lu, how can you be sure that my target must be you? And not Jiang Chen? How would the Jiang family feel if they knew that Jiang Chen was kidnapped again because of you?"
Lu Chiyuan's heart tightened and his expression changed slightly. Jiang Chen being kidnapped because of him was not a plot that belonged to this world. How could Gu Tingsen know about it?
Lu Chiyuan's palms were covered with sweat. In a flash, he directly denied Gu Tingsen's words, and asked with a slightly puzzled tone: "What are you talking about?"
Gu Tingsen was silent for two seconds, then he laughed uncontrollably. When he had laughed enough, he taunted on the phone, "Lu Chiyuan, it turns out there are things in this world that you don't know about. This is God helping me!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Lu Chiyuan's reaction.
Lu Chiyuan listened to the busy tone coming from the phone. His face was hidden in the dark, making it impossible to see his expression.
He stroked Jiang Chen's phone and realized that he and Jiang Chen had made a fatal mistake.
The plot collapsed, and after the important characters withdrew one by one, how could Gu Tingsen, who was in the same dimension as them, remain unchanged?
The future will continue to change because of the present, and it is already full of traps.
"Mr. Lu, are we still going to the airport?" the assistant on the co-pilot seat asked cautiously.
Lu Chiyuan waved his hands, there was no need for that. He was sure that Gu Tingsen did not take Jiang Chen to the airport, and his flight would not take off tonight.
For Gu Tingsen who still has memories, if he leaves now, he will be completely defeated by Lu Chiyuan. No matter in their world or his world, he will be defeated by Lu Chiyuan.
He would never accept such an outcome.
At least at this moment, when he thought Lu Chiyuan had not recovered his memory, he would definitely find a new breakthrough to deal with Lu Chiyuan.
Because this is the only time he has an advantage over Lu Chiyuan.
He has been outshined by Lu Chiyuan in everything since he was a child. From campus to business, what he heard most was the legend of Lu Chiyuan. And those who talked about Lu Chiyuan always had an expression of wanting to say something but stopping themselves when they saw him, with contempt and disdain in their eyes.
Gu Tingsen hated this situation and hated Lu Chiyuan even more.
He would not miss any opportunity to deal with Lu Chiyuan.
Even though he is at the end of his rope now.
Lu Chiyuan couldn't help but wonder, if he were Gu Tingsen, where would he go at this time?
Lu Chiyuan was frowning when he suddenly heard a familiar mechanical sound in his ears.
[Host No. 1 has lost connection. We are connecting you to Host No. 2. Searching for Host No. 2. Connecting to Host No. 2. Please do not disconnect...]
[The second host has been successfully linked, and the system information has been updated. ]
Lu Chiyuan saw a white arc of light appear in front of his eyes, gradually turning into the shape of a snowball.
Compared to his usual contented appearance, Snowball looked a little disheveled at this moment. His silver hair was all blown up in a mess, and his beard was curled around his mouth, as if he had been electrocuted.
It was licking its fur hard, and when it raised its head, its eyes met Lu Chiyuan's. They stared at each other for three seconds, and both of them had interesting expressions on their faces.
Snowball was dumbfounded and said in disbelief: [Host No. 2?! You, you, you, can you see me? ]
Lu Chiyuan nodded. There was no need to hide anything at the moment. He was worried about Jiang Chen. The appearance of Snowball was like a ray of hope. He skipped the novice guidance and said directly: "I can see and hear it all the time."
Snowball's brain was overloaded and smoke was coming out of his head.
The assistant in the front row turned around, found that Lu Chiyuan didn't speak to him, and turned away again.
Lu Chiyuan immediately changed his communication method and thought: [Aren’t you always following Chenchen? Why are you here? How is Chenchen doing? ]
When Jiang Chen was mentioned, Snowball immediately came back to his senses. He didn't have time to worry about other things at the moment, so he quickly adjusted his state and said: [Gu Tingsen injected Chenchen with drugs to make him fall into a coma. I couldn't communicate with him and was excluded. I was struck by electricity in the middle, and then I connected with you.]
[Can you locate Chenchen now? ]
[It’s hard to say, there is a jammer on the car. ]
Snowball called up the updated system, and indeed, there was one more person's information in the host column. He took a quick glance and felt a toothache, so he simply turned a blind eye and focused on searching for related plots.
[…No, the heroine is gone just like that? ]
[Has Gu Tingsen recovered his memory? ]
[The plot connects to the finale of the real world? ]
[The fan world hasn’t collapsed yet…]
The dense data dealt a heavy blow to Snowball. It was only out of contact for a short while, not ten days or half a month. How come the plot was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins and could not be pulled back?
Lu Chiyuan heard the key point and asked: [What is the ending of the real world? ]
Xueqiu flipped through the pages and said: [Gu Tingsen failed in both love and business, and was expelled from the Gu family. After he had nothing left, he kidnapped Chenchen and wanted Chenchen to die with him! ]
