Looking at the time, Su Ziqing realized she had a meeting soon. She went to the restroom, touched up her lipstick, and tried to look more presentable.

Beijing
"Gong Changsheng has made so many mistakes and disregarded the family's reputation. What's the point of keeping such a person in the Gong family? To continue to tarnish the Gong family's reputation?" At the meeting, some elders of the Gong family began to propose expelling Gong Changsheng from the Gong family.
However, some conservatives argued, "When people make mistakes, the law will naturally judge them. We've watched Changsheng grow up since he was a child. Isn't expelling him from the Gong family too harsh a punishment?"
"Heavy? When he did those wrong things without regard for the family's reputation, didn't he think about whether it was too heavy?" someone sneered. "The reason you can sit here and criticize him is because you've never experienced a life-or-death moment, so it's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering!"
"That's right, you should have heard about what Changsheng did on the road near the Gong family's old residence a few days ago, right?" The person who said this glanced around the room. "While Chengjue was risking his life for the family, his uncle, as an elder, was thinking about how to kill the woman he loved!"
"Was this also orchestrated by Gong Changming?" Some members of the family felt that expelling two members of the Gong family was going too far, so they pleaded for Gong Changsheng.
Of course, in reality, everyone is thinking about themselves to some extent. Everyone is afraid that one day they will make a mistake and then not even have a chance to correct it.
To put it bluntly, imprisonment has a time limit, but being expelled from the family leaves no room for redemption.
It doesn't matter to ordinary people, but the Gong family is at the top. Once expelled from the family, they will never reach that level again in this lifetime, no, even in several lifetimes.
"What do you mean? You're pleading for Gong Changsheng like this? Do you have some kind of deal going on behind the scenes?"
"What are you saying? Are you making baseless accusations?"
"Isn't that right? Otherwise, what do you mean by saying 'no' or 'too harsh'?"
Well, the meeting room started arguing again, and Gong Chengjue had a headache from the noise. He felt he shouldn't be sitting there.
He might as well go to the company and handle official business.
Without hesitation, he stood up and said to Gong Changfan, who hadn't spoken until now, "Uncle, I have official business to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."
Gong Changfan looked at him, and the two uncles and nephews met eyes. In the end, Gong Changfan nodded.
As for being a bad guy, I'll just do it myself.
Before Gong Chengjue left, he heard Gong Changfan say, "Gong Changming and Gong Changsheng are my own brothers, but the things they have done have had such a terrible impact on the family that it is intolerable. Especially after our repeated attempts to dissuade them failed, they have retaliated even more. Such behavior is no longer worthy of speaking up for the Gong family. I will exercise the power of the family head to expel Gong Changming and Gong Changsheng from the Gong family. After that, everything will be handled by the police, and no one in the Gong family is allowed to interfere."
Gong Changfan is the head of the family; when he speaks, nothing can be changed.
Some people still had objections, and Gong Changfan turned cold and looked at them, saying, "There's no need to discuss this matter further. The investigation results from the review team will be made public."
Gong Chengjue left the conference room, and Luo Jinhan went up to him. "Mr. Gong, Gong Changming tried to leave the country from N City, but he was stopped."
It's normal for Gong Changming to want to escape, but it's even more normal that he can't.
Gong Chengjue hummed in agreement. "Bring him back."
“I brought it back, but…” Luo Jinhan looked at Gong Chengjue with some hesitation, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
"Speak your mind!"
"Gong Changming said he has leverage to negotiate with you." Luo Jinhan found this ridiculous. Gong Changming had leverage to negotiate?
Now? Ha, are you kidding me?
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Gong Chengjue stopped and looked at Luo Jinhan. "What did he say?"
"He said that if you had no weaknesses, you would naturally win, but... everyone has weaknesses." Luo Jinhan relayed Gong Changming's original words.
He looked at Gong Chengjue, his heartbeat slowing down. "I tried calling Miss Su, but no one answered."
So, is Gong Changming implying that Su Ziqing is in his hands?
Gong Chengjue's expression changed slightly, but then he felt he was being too cautious. He smirked and said, "I'd like to see what weakness he's referring to."
He was talking to Su Ziqing on the phone while he was on the phone. He had just spoken to Su Ziqing on the phone not long ago, and he didn't think anything would happen to her.
Moreover, Su Ziqing also said that she was at the company and that the company's security was very good.
However……
The phone really couldn't get through, or rather, it went through but no one answered.
Gong Chengjue's expression changed involuntarily, and he continued to dial Su Ziqing's cell phone.
Still no answer. He called the secretary's office, and when the call connected, the secretary said that Su Ziqing had just gone out...
Gong Chengjue's face was as cold as ice, and Luo Jinhan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Miss Su was really in Gong Changming's hands?
No way...
Where are the bodyguards?
Just then, his phone rang. It was his bodyguard calling. "Mr. Luo, Miss Su, Miss Su is missing."
Luo Jinhan scoffed, "What do you mean 'disappeared'? Weren't you following Miss Su every step of the way?"
Gong Chengjue snatched Luo Jinhan's phone, "Where is Ziqing?"
It turned out that Su Ziqing went into the restroom, and the bodyguard waited outside for several minutes, but Su Ziqing never showed up...
At this point, investigating how he disappeared was pointless. Gong Chengjue hung up the phone and asked Luo Jinhan, "Where is Gong Changming?"
"On the way back to the capital, it will probably take..." He raised his hand to look at his watch and calculated the time, "...more than an hour to get to the capital."
……………………
Su Ziqing was kidnapped, just like in the movies, where someone is 'stolen' from the bathroom—and this actually happened to her!
She never imagined that she, a living, breathing person, would be kidnapped like this.
In fact, apart from being unable to move, she was quite conscious, so when she was dragged out of the restroom, she even heard the bodyguard's voice, "Miss Su seems to have been in there for a while?"
"Okay, wait another minute. If they still haven't come out, we'll send someone in," another bodyguard said.
Su Ziqing was stuffed into a large suitcase, her vision blurred, and she almost cried when she heard the bodyguards' conversation.
But what left her even more speechless was, what were the people who kidnapped her thinking? Using a huge suitcase!!
Are her bones really that soft? She's in pain all over because of the stuffing.
She felt herself being thrown into the car, and then heard a woman's voice, "It's done."
Su Ziqing really had a swear word she wanted to say.
A meticulous comb through all the details!
She didn't know how long or how far the car had driven. When she was released, her body no longer felt weak, but she still couldn't muster much strength, meaning she couldn't run.
And then she saw the woman in front of her, the woman she had met at the hotel in N City.
