"You're letting me go?" Mrs. Liu asked in surprise.
Xiao Yuan's laughter grew even wider.
"You can go back, but take this with you too." He then took a contract from his assistant.
Mrs. Liu looked at it with suspicion. Wasn't this the contract that both parties had signed a while ago?
The contract hasn't officially taken effect yet, but she's heard her husband say that once this deal is completed, their company will see an additional percentage point in revenue.
"I will pay the penalty for breach of contract to your company in accordance with the amount written in the contract. From now on, the Xiao family and the Liu family will never cooperate again."
One sentence was enough to make the woman dizzy and disoriented.
She never expected that a simple complaint would lead to such a result.
"Is there anyone else in a hurry to go back and get their beauty sleep? I have a contract here; once everyone confirms it, you can go back." Xiao Yuan said, looking at the others present.
Mrs. Liu tried to plead for leniency, but was taken directly to the back by Xiao Yuan's subordinates.
No one expected that a woman's single sentence would lead to such a result. The person standing next to Bai's father even whispered to him:
"Isn't this too arbitrary? Mrs. Liu didn't say anything."
Mr. Bai gave the speaker a cold look.
"Is my daughter less important than her beauty sleep? Not to mention the Xiao family, even my Bai family will no longer cooperate with the Liu family. If you all want to go back sooner, you can leave now."
Since Father Bai had said that, who dared to speak again? They all waved their hands with smiles on their faces.
News of Bai Qingze's capture of the man quickly spread, and Xiao Yuan's investigation was almost complete. At 3 a.m., the man was released.
Several suspicious individuals were identified, but there was no evidence to suggest they were connected to Zhizhi's disappearance. Xiao Yuan could only have his men keep an eye on their movements.
Having obtained the waiter's basic information, Xiao Yuan quickly sent someone to check all his records.
When Xiao Yuan arrived at Bai Qingze's place to ask the waiter for the address, his information was also transmitted in.
This is Bai Qingze's private villa. It's not big, but it's in a somewhat remote location. He usually comes here to rest for a few days when he's under too much work pressure.
The villa is equipped with a boxing gym, and Bai Qingze is actually a hidden boxer.
Even from a distance, Xiao Yuan could hear the banging sounds. Some of the Bai family's bodyguards were guarding outside, and they immediately opened the door when they saw him come in.
"Still haven't you said anything?" Xiao Yuan's first glance fell on the waiter, who was covered in injuries and hadn't even put on any protective gear. He had been beaten by Bai Qingze for over an hour.
"Stubborn as ever." Bai Qingze took off his gloves, took a sip of water, and cursed.
Xiao Yuan stepped forward. The waiter was already somewhat delirious from the beating. Hearing the sound of leather shoes on the ground, he felt a sudden pang of panic.
"If you do this, do you think he'll talk?" Xiao Yuan's tone was very casual.
But to the waiter, it sounded like the voice of a demon.
He waved to the outside, and the subordinate waiting at the door immediately came in, but what he was carrying made Bai Qingze frown.
"Don't mess it up." It's a real pain.
“He knows what he's doing,” Xiao Yuan replied, pointing to the person holding the item.
The two men found a place to sit down, and then the subordinates made their move. In an instant, the man's screams could be heard throughout the villa.
Blood mixed with urine flowed all over the ground, and Bai Qingze frowned in disgust.
"Still not going to talk?" This waiter surprised Xiao Yuan; he hadn't expected him to be so stubborn.
Xiao Yuan knew very well that his subordinate was a mercenary, and there weren't many people who could withstand him.
This was the first time Bai Qingze had seen Xiao Yuan take action, and he felt as if he had discovered some incredible secret.
"What's wrong? Not used to it?" Xiao Yuan noticed Bai Qingze's expression.
"I'm actually afraid you'll kill me to silence me," Bai Qingze replied jokingly with a smile.
A smile appeared on Xiao Yuan's lips as he turned his gaze back to the waiter.
"What you're doing is just children playing house. To get someone to talk, you first need to instill fear in them."
After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and two more people walked in from outside, one of whom was holding a two- or three-year-old child in his arms.
The moment the waiter saw the child, he, who had just been trembling and silent, completely broke down.
He screamed and crawled forward, but was held down by Xiao Yuan's subordinates.
"Is this your daughter? She's so cute." Xiao Yuan reached out and took the child, holding her in one arm.
However, he picked up a fruit knife in his other hand.
"Please, please let her go. She's only two years old," the waiter stammered.
Struggling.
"That depends on your performance." After saying that, Xiao Yuan slowly brandished the fruit knife behind the child.
Only Bai Qingze could see that Xiao Yuan covered the tip of the knife with his hand when he held it.
This man may be ruthless, but he's not bad to children.
"You know what it's like to have your family kidnapped, right? So, can you tell me where my sister is now?" Bai Qingze stood up, picked up a tool at random, and pretended to attack the little girl.
The man was terrified, and this time he stopped hiding it and decisively told everything.
He was indeed a waiter at that hotel, and the girl was his daughter. However, she fell and hit her head last year, which made her mentally challenged.
This year, a professor finally said that his daughter's condition was treatable, but it would require a large sum of money, which he, as a waiter, simply could not afford.
The opportunity came just like that. Yesterday, someone approached him and said that as long as he did two things, they would pay for his daughter's medical expenses.
The first thing was to walk around Ms. Bai all night with a juice in hand, making sure she drank it.
The second thing is to call Bai Qinghuan. You don't need to speak, just make the call.
At first, the man didn't understand what it meant, but he really wanted the money, so he eventually agreed.
When Xiao Yuan announced at the banquet that Miss Bai had disappeared, he realized how serious the matter was. He panicked and tried to run away, but Bai Qingze blocked his way.
"Then why didn't you tell us in the first place?" Xiao Yuan pressed.
"Didn't you see anyone with the baby when you brought her here?" the man retorted.
The man did pay his daughter's medical bills first, but he also said that he had found someone to look after and care for the child so that he could rest assured.
The man knew this was a disguised threat.
He was afraid that the person who asked him to do the favor would harm his daughter, so even though he was in excruciating pain, he gritted his teeth and dared not tell the truth.
Upon hearing his words, Xiao Yuan shifted his gaze to his subordinate, who carefully recalled the events before shaking his head in confirmation.
The child was at home at the time, and was alone.
They were still talking when they brought the child over. Leaving a two-year-old mentally challenged child alone at home is something no normal person would do.
Just then, the child suddenly started crying and kept complaining that he was hungry.
The man then realized that everything the other party had promised him was a lie.
