After receiving the news from Li Mo, Fu Qinian frowned even more deeply.
He really couldn't understand why this person would leave letters to both the Huo and Fu families at the same time, and why the addresses and times for rescuing people were different.
Is this targeting the Huo family or the Fu family?
Or rather, his target was actually those two families?
Fu Qinian tried to calm himself down, constantly reminding himself not to panic.
After all, Huo Jinning is still waiting for their rescue, so he must stay clear-headed and find out the key to the matter.
Fu Qinian knew that the appearance of this mysterious person was by no means accidental; every step he took was carefully planned.
Based on the information he possessed, this person seemed to have a very good understanding of the situation of both families.
So the question is, who exactly is this person? And what is their purpose in doing this?
Fu Qinian began to carefully recall everything that had happened recently, trying to find some clues.
He knew he had to find out the truth as soon as possible in order to rescue Huo Jinning.
Fu Qinian had been restless and anxious ever since he received the news, but he did not let it throw him off balance.
Despite his worries and anxieties, he maintained his ability to think calmly.
He knew that he could not yet ascertain the other party's true intentions, and that if he acted rashly, it might lead to unpredictable consequences.
Professional tasks should be handled by professionals. His abilities are limited, so he simply assigned more staff.
However, as time went on, he found it increasingly difficult to control his inner anxiety.
Every minute felt like torture, making him eager to find the answer.
However, Fu Qinian stayed until very late as usual.
Finally, as the time specified by the other party approached, Fu Qinian went out without wearing a suit.
After calculating the travel time, he drove from the company.
Throughout the journey, he was filled with thoughts, constantly considering possible scenarios and corresponding strategies.
The car gradually moved away from the city, and the surroundings became increasingly desolate.
The once wide roads have become narrow, with some sections only wide enough for one car to pass at a time.
Outside the window, weeds grew rampant and trees were sparse, but Fu Qinian had no time to pay attention to them; his gaze remained fixed on the road ahead.
After a two-hour drive, he finally arrived at an abandoned building.
The building looked abandoned long ago, with its doors tightly shut and the surrounding area desolate.
Fu Qinian stopped the car and looked at the dilapidated gate.
Just then, four tall, fierce-looking men appeared at the door, each holding a thick wooden stick, staring menacingly at Fu Qinian and his car.
"Did you bring the money?" one of the men asked, his voice cold and deep.
Fu Qinian sat in the car and calmly replied, "In the trunk. But I need to see the person first."
"Now is not the time for you to bargain! Open the trunk now!" another man shouted menacingly, raising a wooden stick in his hand as a threat.
However, Fu Qinian remained unmoved and calmly replied, "If you don't see the person, you can forget about taking the money."
"Are you tired of living? Believe it or not, we'll..." Yi said, about to make a move.
Fortunately, A pulled him back in time, signaling him not to act impulsively.
“You’re already in our hands, and you’re still trying to bargain with us,” A said viciously.
Fu Qinian calmly replied, "Do you think I would come alone with money without any preparation?"
His voice conveyed confidence and determination.
Upon hearing this, B immediately became enraged and cursed, "What the hell are you prepared? What tricks do you think you can pull?"
A remained vigilant, his first reaction being to look around for anything unusual, but he found nothing suspicious.
However, he cautiously instructed his other subordinates to be more vigilant and to increase patrols of the surrounding area.
"Even if I open the trunk, you won't get any money." Fu Qinian smiled lightly, then slowly opened the trunk, gesturing for them to look inside.
It turned out that the trunk didn't contain cash, but rather an elegant combination lock box.
"This box is custom-made. Without the correct password, it will automatically explode if anyone tries to force it open," Fu Qinian explained to the kidnappers, pointing to the box.
“You…” Yi’s face turned red with anger as he roared.
After a moment of silence, A said in a low voice, "We can let you see the person first, but we must search you."
Fu Qinian nodded without hesitation, indicating his agreement.
He walked up to A, raised his hands, and gestured for A to search him.
The other two kidnappers carefully examined Fu Qinian and shook their heads, indicating that he was not carrying anything.
And they also took Fu Qinian's car keys.
A tied Fu Qinian's hands behind his back and led him to see Huo Jinning. After going inside, they went to the rooftop, and on the fifth floor, they met Huo Jinning, who had been kidnapped.
Fu Qinian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Huo Jinning was alright.
However, just as Fu Qinian lowered his guard, the man behind him suddenly picked up a wooden stick and struck Fu Qinian's leg hard.
"Watch out!" Huo Jinning shouted in alarm when she saw this.
But it was all too late; the wooden stick landed heavily on Fu Qinian's leg.
"Ah..." Fu Qinian only let out a painful cry, then gritted his teeth and endured the pain without making a sound.
The blow landed squarely on Fu Qinian's newly healed leg.
Sweat poured down his face like beads from a broken string, but he still managed to stand up with difficulty, supporting himself on his only remaining leg.
"What's the password? We've seen the person." A-faced said coldly.
"Fu Qinian answered calmly.
At that moment, A's companion's voice came through A's earpiece: "Password correct!"
Upon hearing this news, A immediately threw down the stick in his hand, glanced at them with a cold look, and then turned and went downstairs.
However, Fu Qinian's watch contained a special way for him to communicate with his subordinates.
The moment he saw Huo Jinning, he activated the communication method without hesitation and ordered his men to take action.
"How are you? Are you hurt?" Fu Qinian dragged one leg and walked with difficulty to Huo Jinning's side, his eyes full of concern as he asked with heartache.
"I'm fine, how's your leg?" Huo Jinning was extremely anxious, looking at Fu Qinian's injured leg with tears still in her eyes.
"It's nothing, just a minor injury." Fu Qinian smiled and shook his head, comforting her, while simultaneously untying the ropes binding Huo Jinning's hands and feet.
