Chapter 475 Kidnapping
Wen Zirou closed the door and asked him, "I heard you went to Jiangcheng a while ago?"
Qianliu nodded: "The patriarch instructed me to investigate some things."
"It's about Kong Wange, right?" Wen Zirou asked tentatively, "Have you found anything?"
Qianliu shook his head: "Nothing special, but there's a Kong Family Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic over there that's under Kong Wange's name, and it's doing quite well."
Wen Zirou muttered to herself, "If she has a way to make a living, why did she say that she couldn't make a living in Jiangcheng and came to the capital for help?"
Qianliu bowed and said, "I shouldn't presume to speculate on that."
After replying, he asked, "Why did Second Auntie summon me?"
Wen Zirou frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "I do have something I need you to do..."
After she finished speaking in a low voice, Qian Liu paused, then looked up at her: "What Second Aunt is about to do is extremely dangerous. Does the head of the family know this?"
“Of course, he knows everything I’ve done,” Wen Zirou said, feigning displeasure.
Qianliu then stopped asking questions and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll take care of it tonight."
"Yes, remember not to do it at home, and be quick so that no one can find any evidence against you," Wen Zirou instructed.
Qianliu nodded and turned to leave.
...
After Xiaoxue and her father stormed out of the clinic, they didn't see each other all afternoon.
Kong Wange thought it was a good opportunity to give her a break, so she didn't pay any attention to it.
She had been busy all afternoon, but when she turned around, she saw a tall figure standing in the clinic, dragging a suitcase beside him.
She walked over in a few steps, surprised, and asked, "Brother? What brings you here?"
Yan Su turned his head and said calmly, "I resigned from the Imperial Academy and have nowhere to live."
Kong Wange's eyes widened: "Resign? Why?"
"If you're unhappy at work, find me a place to sleep, I won't interfere with your work."
Kong Wange was speechless: "You're not short of money, you can stay in hotels or villas anywhere. This is just a temporary rest room, just a small folding bed for a nap, how can anyone live here?"
Yan Su shrugged: "It doesn't matter, as long as there's a bed, it's fine. The main thing is that I miss you and want to spend a few more days with you."
Kong Wange rolled her eyes and bluntly said, "Don't give me that. I know what you're thinking. Let me tell you, I've been very busy these past few days, and Jingjing has rarely contacted me. It's no use you staking out this place."
Yan Su smiled awkwardly: "I've gone to her home and her company, but An'an keeps ignoring me. I'm really out of ideas."
"Serves you right!" Kong Wange warned, "Don't even think about asking me to arrange a meeting with Jingjing! If you dare to ask, get out of here right now!"
Yan Su asked ingratiatingly, "Am I that kind of person?"
Kong Wange said confidently, "You are!"
Yan Su looked embarrassed, so he decided to crack a joke: "I'm really just here to stay for a few days. Stop nagging. I'm going to take a nap. I haven't slept for three days. I'm sleepy."
Kong Wange: "..."
I saw someone dragging a suitcase and rushing into the lounge.
Kong Wange shook her head helplessly and didn't try to stop him. Let him stay as long as he wanted; she wasn't going to help him anyway.
She stopped paying attention and simply focused on the affairs of the clinic.
I was busy until almost nine o'clock.
Seeing that it was getting late, Kong Wange turned and went to the lounge.
There was a small bed at the far end, where Yan Su was taking a nap.
A tall man, over 1.8 meters, couldn't even stretch his legs out properly; he looked awkward huddled up on it.
He was clearly not feeling well either, with his arms crossed behind his head and his brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly.
Kong Wange sighed and woke him up: "Brother, don't sleep."
Yan Su opened his eyes, his eyes bloodshot, and sat up abruptly: "An'an is here?"
Kong Wange said speechlessly, "No, I'm about to leave work. I just came to ask if you're sure you want to stay here?"
Yan Su rubbed his face and said, "Don't worry about it. Go home as soon as you're done."
He glanced at the time, then stood up and said, "Never mind, I'll take you. It's not safe to take a taxi this late."
"Don't bother seeing me off yet. If you really want to stay here, let's go to the furniture store next door first. It's still open. We can get you a bed." After all, he was her older brother whom she had grown up with, and Kong Wange couldn't bear to see him suffer like this.
This bed was indeed uncomfortable to sleep on, but Yan Su did not object and got up to leave the lounge with her.
Unexpectedly, the two of them had just left the clinic when they were blocked on the spot.
"Kong Wange, you vicious woman, where did you hide Xiaoxue?!"
Tao Xiangjun rushed straight at Kong Wange, running over to grab her collar, but Yan Su stopped him.
He frowned, and Tao Xiangjun nearly stumbled when he was pushed.
"Fine, you can't handle it alone, so you brought in a helper? I knew it! That's how you managed to subdue Xiaoxue!" Tao Xiangjun was furious.
Kong Wange frowned and stepped forward, saying, "Tao Xiangjun, calm down. What exactly happened? Like you, I haven't seen Xiaoxue since this afternoon. She hasn't gone home yet?"
"Ha, you're still pretending! You vicious woman! If you have any hatred, come at me! What kind of skill is it to kidnap Xiaoxue!" Tao Xiangjun roared. If Yan Su hadn't stopped him, he would have fought Kong Wange to the death.
Kong Wange was stunned: "Tie up? Xiaoxue was tied up? When?"
Seeing her like this, Tao Xiangjun gritted his teeth and said, "Are you still pretending? Xiaoxue still hasn't come home, and I can't get through to her on her phone. I even received threatening text messages. You dare to say that none of this was your doing?!"
Kong Wange said helplessly, "Do I look like I'm faking it? If I really kidnapped Xiaoxue and sent you threatening text messages, would I still be waiting for you to come to the clinic?"
Kong Wange's words brought Tao Xiangjun back to his senses.
He looked at her suspiciously: "Really not you?"
“Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. I, Kong Wange, have always acted with principle.”
Tao Xiangjun was stunned for a moment, then became even more anxious, pacing around in circles: "If it wasn't you, who else could it be? Xiaoxue is such a well-behaved child, and she never makes enemies with anyone. How could someone kidnap her?"
Kong Wange realized the seriousness of the situation and said in a deep voice, "Didn't you say you had information? What did you say? Let me see."
Tao Xiangjun turned to look at Kong Wange, then at Yan Su beside him, and after a long while, he made up his mind and handed the phone to them.
Kong Wange took it and immediately saw a concise line of text: "If you want your daughter to live, meet me at the West Suburbs Fertilizer Plant before 11 p.m. tonight. Come alone, or I'll kill her."
Kong Wange handed it to Yan Su and asked in a low voice, "Can you tell anything?"
Yan Su took the phone and checked it, saying, "The number is a blacklisted number. We can't find out who registered it. The other party is most likely an experienced person."
Kong Wange thought for a moment, then handed the phone back to Tao Xiangjun and said, "The other party didn't mention money in the text message, so he obviously wasn't after money. Since he claimed he wanted to see you, he's obviously after you. So Xiaoxue won't be in any danger until he sees you. You can rest assured about that."
