In Zhang Huaiyi's line of thinking, finding out that Qin Tong bought the exact same recording pen doesn't prove anything, let alone prove that it's evidence of kidnapping Shu Yi, because the other party has countless reasons to deny it.
However, in Zhang Youye's mind, this was undoubtedly a foregone conclusion.
At the same time, a text message about Qin Tong's location was sent to Zhang Youye's phone.
When Zhang Huaiyi recovered from his analysis, Zhang Youye, who should have been sitting in the chair, suddenly disappeared without a trace like a gust of wind, leaving only a chair spinning in place and a group of people looking at each other in bewilderment.
...
It's 8:15 PM, late at night.
Amidst a thick, dark landscape, surrounded by a desolate and solemn atmosphere, standing still in the biting wind and looking up, a dark shadow drifts across the sky, like a thin mist, silently enveloping the city of Jingnan.
A high-end residential complex that is about to be handed over to residents.
The only place with lights on was the top floor.
Qin Tong was very angry after being slapped by his father.
The young master, who had never been beaten since childhood, came to this upscale residential complex on the very night he was supposed to be beaten, in order to avoid being tracked down by his family.
To avoid being disturbed, he even turned off his phone and refused to be contacted by anyone.
It's his property anyway, so he can live there however he wants.
The living room of the large single-level apartment.
Qin Tong was sitting cross-legged on the plush carpet.
He was wearing headphones, holding a game controller, and staring intently at the huge screen in front of him.
Just as the last monster was about to be destroyed, he suddenly heard a strange sound.
Qin Tong paused the game, took off his headphones, and decided to listen carefully to the sounds.
The next second, the electronic lock on the gate behind them had already been disabled by several people using technology.
The man who gestured for the men in black to close the door, and walked through the group of men in black to stand before him, was Shu Chuanran.
Slightly bending down to sit on the sofa, too lazy to waste words with this older brother, Shu Chuanran went straight to the point.
"Shuyi has been kidnapped. Did you do it?"
Whether startled by Shu Chuanran's sudden appearance with a group of people or by the unexpected news he spoke, Qin Tong's eyes widened involuntarily, his tone filled with disbelief and astonishment.
"Shuyi was kidnapped? When did this happen? You doubt me? Are you out of your mind? Or am I crazy? Why would I kidnap her?"
After silently watching Qin Tong for a moment, Shu Chuanran lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
Judging from Qin Tong's current surprised state, he was indeed unaware of Shu Yi's kidnapping.
Moreover...
This kid definitely had no motive to kidnap Shuyi.
Shu Chuanran picked up the lighter from the coffee table, lit the cigarette, took a deep drag, and held the cigarette between his fingers.
His unreadable gaze revealed no emotion as he simply handed the video on his phone to Qin Tong.
Having parted ways with Zhang Youye at the entrance of the Qin family villa, Shu Chuanran did not go to the company.
After instructing Secretary Lin to handle the matter over the phone, Shu Chuanran drove directly home.
On his way home, Shu Chuanran felt uneasy. After being cleared of suspicion, he initially, like Zhang Youye, suspected the Qin family of being responsible.
Therefore, he did not believe Qin Quanwei's explanation.
After parting ways with Zhang Youye, he also secretly searched for Qin Tong.
With a heart full of unease, he soon received another shared message from Zhang Huaiyi, which was a video.
The video shows a van passing through a tunnel.
He was driving at the time and had only glanced at the video once when he received a call from Shu Qianxin.
During the phone call, Shu Qianxin anxiously inquired whether it was true that Shu Yi had been kidnapped.
"Brother, did Righte go to the company and beat you up? Why did he beat you up? Is Sister Yi really kidnapped? Uncle Wei just called me and told me that it's best not to go out recently, in case it affects me."
"Yes." Keeping his eyes fixed on the road ahead, Shu Chuanran explained in a deep voice, "I just came from the Qin family and I'm on my way back now. I'll tell you when I get back."
Thirty minutes later.
Shu Chuanran's luxury car appeared at the villa's entrance.
Finally, her brother appeared. She hurriedly pushed open the door and walked out, clutching Shu Chuanran's clothes tightly, her tone both concerned and urgent.
"Brother, are you alright? Why did you hit so hard, your lip is all swollen."
"I'm fine." Pulling Shu Qianxin into the villa, Shu Chuanran handed her a video on his phone. "This is the car that kidnapped my second sister."
"Both families are in chaos right now. Don't make things worse. Stay home and don't go anywhere. I'll arrange for a few more thugs to be stationed here."
"How could she have been kidnapped?" Shu Qianxin asked worriedly. "Who did it? Who would kidnap Sister Yi? There have been so many trending topics online these past few days. Is the kidnapper trying to extort money?"
Shu Chuanran picked up his water glass and drank it all in one gulp. While checking for any news about Qin Tong, he comforted his sister.
“Nobody knows for sure right now. If they were after money, the kidnappers haven’t called yet. If they don’t take the initiative to negotiate, Zhang Youye and the police will be in a very passive position.”
Unable to discern the nuances in Shu Chuanran's tone, Shu Qianxin tentatively asked, "Brother, did Brother Youye suspect you, which is why he went to the company to cause trouble for you?"
"What? You also suspect it's me?" Shu Chuanran asked her, glancing at her sideways.
"Of course not!" Shu Qianxin waved her hands frantically. "How could I doubt you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shu Chuanran's phone finally vibrated. At a glance, it was another message from Zhang Huaiyi.
[Chuanran, my brother has gone out to look for clues. Contact me immediately if there are any updates on your end.]
Honestly, Shu Chuanran couldn't bring himself to share any information with Zhang Youye.
