At 8:30 in the morning, Xue Zhaokuan arrived at Jinghua Wencai Building as usual. As the building of Gegang's Beijing office was under construction, Gegang Investment Company temporarily rented half a floor here as a temporary office location.

Xue Zhaokuan entered his office and his secretary had just made the tea when his phone rang.

"Zhaokuan, I'm Sister Chun. Please come to my office and bring your recording with you." Xue Zhaokuan always stayed with Lin Zhiyuan before, so he was no stranger to Tan Mingchun.

Xue Zhaokuan picked up the phone, stood up as if nothing had happened, and told his secretary, "The property management wanted to see me, maybe to discuss the rent. I'll go over there. If anyone wants to see me, tell them to call me directly."

"Okay, Secretary." The secretary respectfully escorted Xue Zhaokuan out the door.

Xue Zhaokuan took the elevator directly to the top floor.

Tan Mingchun is also one of the shareholders of this building, so she has her own office in Li Zhikun's club, but she rarely comes here.

Soon, Xue Zhaokuan met Tan Mingchun and Li Zhikun. There was also a young man who looked smart sitting in the office. He had a shiny forehead and a laptop in front of him.

"Uncle Li, Sister Chun!" Although Xue Zhaokuan is now the secretary of Gegang Investment Company, he does not dare to be arrogant in front of these two people and greets them respectfully.

"Zhao Kuan, give the recording to Xiao Zhao, he will handle it. Also, tell him the license plate number you saw yesterday and the number who called you."

Xue Zhaokuan hurriedly handed over the recorder and mobile phone and told everything he knew.

The young man named Xiao Zhao deftly copied the audio files from his mobile phone and recorder into his laptop.

"Sister Chun, there is one thing. They arrested my father-in-law. He is not in good health. I am worried that he will be frightened and his condition will get worse."

Tan Mingchun thought for a moment and said, "Zhao Kuan, I guess they will call you soon. You can use this as a condition to negotiate with them and force them to release your father-in-law first. Don't worry, if they don't agree, I will find a way to ensure that your father-in-law is fine."

"Thank you, Sister Chun!"

"Okay, Zhaokuan, go down! Now the other party's attention is all on you. If you stay here for too long, I'm afraid it will arouse their suspicion." Tan Mingchun patted Xue Zhaokuan's shoulder like a man, "You did a good job this time. Zhiyuan didn't make a mistake about you."

After receiving the praise from Tan Mingchun, Xue Zhaokuan felt as if every bone in his body had lightened. He replied with a red face, "Sister Chun, I was brought up by General Lin, and I will never be a traitor."

Li Zhikun also stood up with a laugh, patted Xue Zhaokuan on the shoulder, and stuffed a card into his shirt pocket. "Come to my club when you have nothing to do in the future, and all the meals will be free."

After getting the affirmation from these two people, Xue Zhaokuan's walking posture changed when he went out, and his hands and feet became extremely uncoordinated.

Back in the office downstairs, Xue Zhaokuan forced himself to calm down. He drank his tea sip by sip. At around nine o'clock, his cell phone rang. It was Huang Jiayan.

Huang Jiayan's voice was filled with tears, "Zhao Kuan, I saw my dad. He's not in good health. Woo woo woo, can you think of a way to get them to allow my dad to go out for treatment?"

Xue Zhaokuan said softly: "Jia Yan, don't worry, you are still pregnant. I promise to let them let Dad go out to see a doctor first."

"Zhao Kuan, thank you, wuwuwu, it's hard for you." Huang Jiayan burst into tears on the other end.

After hanging up Huang Jiayan's call, Xue Zhaokuan continued to wait patiently. Less than ten minutes later, his phone rang again. It was the same number from yesterday.

Xue Zhaokuan answered the phone impatiently, "Hello, it's me!"

Still the same man as yesterday, "Secretary Xue answered the phone very quickly! Has he been waiting for me?"

Xue Zhaokuan said angrily, "Of course I'm waiting for you. My father-in-law is in poor health. If you arrest him, won't that kill him? Also, my wife is pregnant. Because of this incident, she can't eat or sleep well. She cries all day long, which will affect the development of the fetus."

"Secretary Xue, I understand how you feel. As long as you cooperate with us, your father-in-law will be released immediately."

"No, you must release my father-in-law first, and then I will tell you everything I know."

"Secretary Xue, do you think I'm a three-year-old child? How can you come up with such an outrageous condition?"

The two sides fought a tug-of-war for several rounds. Xue Zhaokuan got angry and said, "Who knows what you guys are trying to do? If you don't agree to my terms, I will call General Manager Lin right now and ask him to help me find a way to release my father-in-law."

The voice on the other end suddenly became eerie, "Secretary Xue, are you threatening me? If you dare to call Lin Zhiyuan, beware of your whole family."

Xue Zhaokuan's voice suddenly rose an octave, "You made me a traitor and threatened me with my relatives. I will fight you to the death."

Xue Zhaokuan hung up the phone immediately. He had been with Lin Zhiyuan for many years. He had never eaten pork, but had he never seen a pig run? He could still learn this acting skill.

Sure enough, within a minute, the other party called again, and this time the tone was much softer, "Secretary Xue, don't be angry. As expected, as a leader, you have a bad temper. If you have anything to say, we can discuss it."

"I only have one request now. Let my father-in-law go to the hospital for treatment today. Not to mention the investigation stage, even if he is in prison, he can still be released on medical parole! Besides, if I don't cooperate with you, you can just arrest my father-in-law when the time comes. What do you have to worry about?"

There was silence for a while, "Okay, Secretary Xue, I will trust you this time. Tell me, what other conditions do you have?"

Xue Zhaokuan sighed, "If I really tell the truth, I probably won't be able to stay in Gegang anymore. You have to find me a unit that is no less powerful than Gegang, and the level can't be lower than the current one."

"Okay, no problem. I can guarantee that."

"Also, you scared my father's family so much that you need to compensate me, no matter what form you use."

"Okay, that's no problem. Didn't I tell you yesterday? Since your father-in-law's family is in the clothing business, we can give them a few orders to make up for their financial losses."

"Okay!" Xue Zhaokuan gritted his teeth and deliberately made a difficult decision. "I'm waiting for my wife's call now. I'll tell you when my father-in-law arrives at the hospital."

"Wait, I'll do it now, Secretary Xue, I hope you keep your word, otherwise..."

Xue Zhaokuan sat behind his desk, becoming more and more annoyed. He called his secretary in and asked him to buy him a pack of cigarettes. The secretary was very surprised. The secretary never smoked, so what happened today?

But he didn't dare to ask, so the secretary bought the cigarettes and Xue Zhaokuan started smoking one after another. Soon, the ashtray was full of cigarette butts.

Before lunch, at about eleven o'clock, Huang Jiayan called and cried with joy, "Zhao Kuan, Dad has been released. We are all in the hospital now, and Dad is undergoing examination."

Xue Zhaokuan's heart finally settled down, "That's good, tell Dad not to worry, I'm here, and you too, you must take care of yourself and be careful of the baby in your belly."

"Zhao Kuan, thank you!" Huang Jiayan said softly. Although she was naive, she was not stupid. She knew that her husband must have made a huge sacrifice for her father to let him go so easily.
