Jiang Tingchen reached out and gently pressed the back of Ning Nanxue's hand, signaling her to calm down.
He looked at Ning Nanxue with a look of comfort and worry in his eyes: "Xue'er, don't be angry. Fu Chen has obviously lost his mind now. There is no point in arguing with him."
He paused and continued his analysis: "The timing of Xu Zhiru's kidnapping was too coincidental, and Fu Chen's reaction was too fast and too intense. Don't you think... this is more like a play directed and performed by Xu Zhiru herself?"
Ning Nanxue was stunned, and her original anger was gradually replaced by rationality.
She frowned and thought carefully about the conversation she had just had with Fu Chen. The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
Fu Chen's trust in Xu Zhiru has reached a blind level. He believes everything Xu Zhiru says. This is not normal at all.
"Tingchen, do you mean... Xu Zhiru is using 'kidnapping' to divert attention? Or... to further frame me?" Ning Nanxue's voice turned cold, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
Jiang Tingchen nodded. "It's very likely. After all, we have been tracking down Dr. Li's whereabouts. Xu Zhiru must also know that once Dr. Li is found, her lies will be exposed. So, she must find a way to stop us."
Manager Song slammed the table and shouted angrily, "This woman is so insidious! She actually used such despicable means! No, we can't let her succeed! Ning Nanxue, let's go find Doctor Li now. As long as we find him, we can expose Xu Zhiru's true face!"
Ning Nanxue took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
"Xiao Li, you're right. We can't let Fu Chen's unreasonable behavior disrupt our rhythm. The most important thing now is to find Dr. Li and expose Xu Zhiru's true face."
She looked at Manager Song and said decisively, "You continue to mobilize your connections and expand the search area. You must find Dr. Li's whereabouts as soon as possible. I don't believe he can disappear from the face of the earth!"
Manager Song nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll do it right away!"
Jiang Tingchen looked at Ning Nanxue with a gentle but firm look in his eyes: "Xue'er, don't worry, Huayun Group's technical team is also working hard to track Dr. Li's electronic footprints. As long as he leaves any trace, we can find him."
Ning Nanxue nodded, and the anxiety in her heart eased a little.
With Jiang Tingchen around, she always feels at ease.
On the other side, the Fu family villa.
Fu Chen hung up the phone angrily, his chest heaving violently, almost exploding with anger.
Ning Nanxue! This vicious woman! How dare she even quibble?
His eyes were red, veins on his forehead were bulging, and he was holding his phone so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
Xu Zhao added fuel to the fire: "Brother-in-law, I told you that Ning Nanxue is no good! She must be jealous of my sister, so she did such a cruel thing!"
He deliberately emphasized the word "heartless" to further provoke Fu Chen.
Fu Chen's breathing became heavier and his eyes became more terrifying.
He slammed his fist on the table, and the solid wooden surface made a loud "bang".
"Ning Nanxue! I will never let you go!" Fu Chen said gritting his teeth, every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
He immediately called Secretary Chen, his voice icy cold, "Check immediately! Find out where Ning Nanxue is now! Also, mobilize all security forces and search the entire city for Zhiru! Find her! At any cost!"
On the other end of the phone, Secretary Chen's voice was a little hesitant: "Mr. Fu, this... looking for someone in such a high-profile manner, will it..."
"What's going on?!" Fu Chen roared, "Just do whatever I tell you to do! Why are you talking so much nonsense!"
Secretary Chen didn't dare to say anything more and quickly responded, "Yes, Mr. Fu, I'll do it right away."
Fu Chen hung up the phone, his face so gloomy that water could drip out of it.
His mind was now completely focused on Xu Zhiru's safety, and he wouldn't listen to any advice at all.
Xu Zhao looked at Fu Chen's furious expression and felt secretly proud.
This is exactly the effect he wanted. Only by making Fu Chen hate Ning Nanxue to the core can he completely cover up Xu Zhiru's crime.
"Brother-in-law, don't worry too much. My sister will be fine." Xu Zhao comforted him hypocritically, "That woman Ning Nanxue is a lunatic. She's capable of anything. We must be careful and vigilant."
Fu Chen didn't say anything, but just stared at the blackmail text message on the phone screen, his eyes full of hatred and murderous intent.
Ning Nanxue, you'd better pray that Zhiru is safe and sound, otherwise, I will make you pay a heavy price!
In the cafe.
Ning Nanxue looked at the text message sent by Secretary Chen on the mobile phone screen, and her expression became more and more solemn.
"Fu Chen has started searching the entire city for Xu Zhiru, and... he has also sent people to investigate my whereabouts." Ning Nanxue's voice was soft, but it carried a hint of uncontrollable anger.
Manager Song was furious when he heard this: "What?! That bastard Fu Chen! What right does he have to investigate you? What evidence does he have to prove that Xu Zhiru's disappearance is related to you? This is simply too much!"
Jiang Tingchen's face also darkened. He looked at Ning Nanxue and said calmly and firmly, "Xue'er, it seems Xu Zhiru is determined to frame you this time. We can't just sit there and wait for death."
Ning Nanxue nodded, a look of determination flashing in her eyes: "I know, Tingchen, I won't let Xu Zhiru succeed. What we have to do now is to find Dr. Li as soon as possible. Only by finding him can I prove my innocence."
She looked at Manager Song: "Xiao Li, have you made any progress?"
Manager Song shook his head, feeling somewhat frustrated. "I've mobilized all the connections I can, but there's still no news about Dr. Li. It's as if this guy has vanished from the face of the earth."
Ning Nanxue frowned tightly. She knew that the longer the time dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for her.
Fu Chen will definitely not let it go. He will definitely try every possible way to pin the crime of kidnapping on her.
"Tingchen, what about Huayun Group? Have they tracked Dr. Li's electronic footprints?" Ning Nanxue looked at Jiang Tingchen with a hint of expectation in her eyes.
Jiang Tingchen nodded. "We have some clues, but they're not very clear yet. Dr. Li seems very cautious. All the communication devices and bank accounts he uses are anonymous, making them difficult to track."
"Tingchen, keep tracking and don't miss any clues. I believe that as long as Dr. Li is still in this world, we will find him!" Ning Nanxue's voice was firm and powerful. She would never bow to Xu Zhiru.
Jiang Tingchen looked at Ning Nanxue's determined eyes, and a strong desire to protect her surged in his heart.
Fu Chen paced back and forth in the living room like a wild beast trapped in a cage, and the floor seemed to tremble with every step he took.
"Secretary Chen! Haven't you found it yet?! It's been so long, what a bunch of rubbish!"
