Waiting for you at the place where you are reborn

Song Qiaoran stood in the huge office, looking at Zhang Keyan's hurried back.

She burst into tears again.

Her memory was unknowingly brought back to more than a year ago.

It was the end of December, and she went to Qinhe to find Qi Xiangtian under the pretext of cooperation.

That day, Qi Xiangtian sat with her in this office and communicated with her about the details with full confidence.

Before, she deliberately mentioned the coat purchase in front of Wu Linxi at the airport. Qi Xiangtian still had some resentment in his heart, so that day he insisted on taking her mobile phone to accept the money transfer he sent, saying that he would get the marriage certificate the next day and that this was considered a conclusion.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, she reluctantly left Qi Xiangtian's office, drove to the mall, and bought a lot of clothes and accessories.

At around four o'clock, her car broke down in the mall and could not be started. She called her family driver to call a tow truck and took a taxi to leave the mall.

When it was almost five o'clock, Song Siyao called and asked her to go to his private club. Surprisingly, Qi Xiangtian and Qi Jinye were also in Song Siyao's private club.

After communicating with them for a few sentences, I learned that it was Zhao Beiqin's idea to have Qi Xiangtian come here. He had been trying hard to bring Song Qiaoran and Qi Xiangtian together, preparing to have Qinhe and Yide sign a long-term cooperation agreement.

Qi Jinye came to the club mainly because he was threatened by Yao Hong, and he also tried to use Qi Xiangtian to seek help and protection from the Song family's funds and power.

At 7:15, everyone left the club.

Song Qiaoran followed Song Siyao to the underground parking lot to pick up the car. Qi Jinye and Qi Xiangtian's cars were on the ground. Qi Jinye drove away first. Qi Xiangtian just got in the car when he received a call from Song Qiaoran. She shouted in panic on the phone: "Brother Qi, my dad - my dad has been taken away."

"Where did you catch him? Aren't you going to get the car?"

"Right at the entrance of the parking lot, two men in jeans took my dad away. Ah—they got in the car—" Song Qiaoran screamed.

"Wait for me at the entrance of the parking lot. I'll come and take you." Qi Xiangtian stepped on the accelerator and drove to the entrance of the underground parking lot. Song Qiaoran quickly opened the door and got in the car. Pointing to the front, he said to him, "Brother Qi, follow that car. Lin A, that's my dad's car."

Qi Xiangtian saw a brand new silver Bentley passing by. He stepped on the gas and chased after it, asking, "Is there a surveillance camera in the parking lot? Ask the security guard to check on the two people."

"I don't know—" Song Qiaoran hurriedly called Song Siyao's secretary, "Ask the club to check the parking lot's surveillance. My dad has been taken away."

The secretary on the other end of the phone agreed timidly.

Qi Xiangtian kept following the Bentley. The Bentley drove around and around, from the east to the west, from the city to the outer ring, from the second ring to the third ring, and finally, entered an unknown road. After driving for a while, it stopped in front of an abandoned factory.

The two men took Song Siyao into the dark factory.

In order not to alert the enemy, Qi Xiangtian and Song Qiaoran parked at the side door of the chemical plant. After getting out of the car, they both turned their phones to silent mode. Qi Xiangtian wrote four words on the screen and showed them to Song Qiaoran, "Go call the police." Song Qiaoran nodded and typed on her phone for Qi Xiangtian to see, "Okay, I'll go call the police right away. I'm afraid they'll hear it here."

Qi Xiangtian remembered that he had an appointment with Jiang Li and Shao Xingshu for dinner in the evening. Afraid of being delayed too long, he wanted to send a message to Wu Linxi, but he heard the voices inside getting louder and louder. Someone was walking towards the direction where they were hiding, so he immediately put away his phone.

They hid at the side door, not daring to speak or even breathe loudly. Although the factory was dark, they could clearly hear the conversation inside.

"It's fucking cold, stutter, fucking angry." said a fierce man's voice.

The man called the stutterer obediently went around to find some scrap furniture wood, all of which were rotten wood that would turn into powder if touched. The blond took out a lighter and lit a cigarette, then lit a large scrap poster and ignited the old furniture. The fire became more and more intense, and the factory gradually became warmer, illuminating the three people.

"Are you kidnapping?" Song Siyao asked.

"No—what else?" stammered.

Song Siyao said calmly: "Kidnapping is not a simple matter. Just call my family and ask them to prepare the money. It will be easy to solve."

"Song Siyao, don't think that no one knows about what you did. Twenty years ago, you had someone take away the pharmacist's son..." The person who was speaking was stuttering, and it took him a long time to finish the sentence.

Song Siyao asked: "Don't talk nonsense, who told you?"

Another fierce voice with blond hair kicked Song Siyao's knee and said, "Stop talking nonsense. We will catch you only if we are sure of it.

"Who told you to arrest me?" Song Siyao covered his knee that was hurt by the blonde's kick. "Who told you about the pharmacist?"

The blonde walked up to Song Siyao and said, "There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall. You thought you were invisible. The whole world thought you were a good person, but it turned out that you were a hypocrite who stole the recipe. You were able to make a fortune because of the Zhang family's recipe."

"The medicine you are developing now--the formula--" Stuttered: "Originally it belonged to Bai--Bai Chen, you stole it--plagiarism--"

"Are you Bai Chen's people?" Song Siyao asked.

"You bribed Baichen's R&D personnel, and you also stole the Zhang family's prescription before." said Blonde.

"Who asked you to come?" Song Siyao asked, "What do you mean?"

"Never mind who sent us here," stammered the man.

"What do you want to do?" Song Siyao asked.

"Hand over the prescription you stole," said the blond.

"What prescription?" Song Siyao asked.

"Stop pretending. Twenty-nine years ago, you stole the prescription from the Zhang family. Now, the most profitable finished drugs of Yide Pharmaceutical are all from the Zhang family."

"Who told you? Who asked you to come and ask for the prescription?" Song Siyao asked. These secrets that have been hidden for many years would be impossible for anyone to know unless they were the parties involved.

The blond said: "If you want to save your life, hand over the prescription, otherwise this will be your burial place tonight."

Song Siyao said: "What's the use of the prescription? This is our Yide's secret formula. Why would I carry the prescription with me?"

"You ask someone to get it." The blond hair said, "Isn't your prescription in the company's R&D department?"

"Who on earth asked you to come to me?" Song Siyao was full of doubts. The prescription was the company's top secret. Anyone who knew his prescription was in the R&D department must not be an ordinary employee of the company. It was even more impossible for someone to link the prescription to Zhang Zhiyi. He listed all the people in the R&D department in his mind, but still couldn't figure out who this person was.
