Compared to Chu Ling's nervousness and fear, the man seemed much calmer.

He patted Chu Ling's hand that was holding his, "Don't be afraid, it'll be fine."

"They also said they're after money. They'll let us go once we get what they want." After the man finished speaking, he suddenly started coughing again.

This time Chu Ling no longer cared about her fear and immediately became concerned about the man's physical condition.

Lu Ning stood aside the whole time, listening to the noises in the dark, and felt that she was now more like a bystander.

……

At the same time, Wu City Hotel.

Xie Qingxuan sat in Lu Ning's room, looking at the messages received on his mobile phone.

"Sir, the lady will be fine." Secretary Zhao couldn't help but speak when he saw this.

Ever since he learned about Lu Ning's accident, he could clearly feel the coldness emanating from his own president.

Xie Qingying raised his head, and the smile he had on his face when facing Lu Ning was no longer there.

He lowered his eyes and glanced at the signature on the screen, the corners of his lips twitching slightly.

"I heard that besides Lu Ning, another person was kidnapped?"

Secretary Zhao had a layer of cold sweat on his forehead. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen such an expression on his CEO's face.

"The other one is said to be a female celebrity named Chu Ling. She also received a ransom text message just now, but the ransom was not that much."

Secretary Zhao has always been someone who knows how to read people's expressions. When he notices the change in his boss's expression, he knows what to do next.

"I have asked someone to contact the other party. If this matter is not one-sided, then the possibility of revenge can be ruled out."

"Seeking revenge?" Xie Qingxing raised his eyebrows and sneered, "There's been quite a lot of commotion over there recently. It's hard to guarantee that someone has taken advantage of the chaos to have some bad intentions. And you said that the female star's name is Chu Ling?"

"Yes, her name is Chu Ling. I remember that my wife had asked for tickets for her fan meeting before..." Secretary Zhao paused suddenly. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?

My wife had just come here to attend a fan meeting with that female star, and was kidnapped along with her that night.

"Do you think there is something wrong with Chu Ling?" Secretary Zhao narrowed his eyes. He had never thought of starting the investigation from Chu Ling's side before.

"Go and check who she is in contact with, quickly." Xie Qingying said as he stood up.

The ransom demanded by the other party has been prepared. Although the other party did not ask anyone to make the transaction, he decided to redeem the person personally.

Xie Qingxuan walked out of the room and bumped into a girl who looked hurried.

The moment she saw Xie Qingying, she ran over immediately.

"Are you Lu Ning's friends?" Xiaoyue staggered over, but stopped the moment she saw Xie Qingxing.

At that moment, she thought she had seen Mr. Xie, but the two of them did look somewhat similar...

Xie Qingxuan looked at Xiaoyue upon hearing this, "Do you know my wife?"

"Sir, she is Chu Ling's assistant." Secretary Zhao explained to Xie Qingying in time.

"Madam?" Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment. First, she didn't expect that Lu Ning, who looked so young, was already married. Second, she didn't expect that Lu Ning's marriage partner would be such a person.

"Well... Lu Ning is a fan of our Chu Chu. She was the one who ran out to save me at that time. Otherwise, I don't know if I could survive." Xiaoyue lowered her eyes. For some reason, she was a little afraid to look directly at the man in front of her.

That feeling made her feel even more frightened than meeting Mr. Xie.

Xie Qingying had no intention of making things difficult for an assistant, but he frowned slightly when he heard that Lu Ning was a fan of Chu Ling.

Before, when Lu Ning asked him if he could get a ticket to Chu Ling’s fan meeting, he just thought that Lu Ning was bored and wanted to go out for fun, and he never expected these things to happen.

Seeing Xie Qingxuan about to leave, Xiaoyue couldn't help but chase after him, "Um, are you going to save someone?"

Xie Qingxuan did not stop walking, but Secretary Zhao turned to Xiaoyue and said, "Little girl, it is better not to ask about other people's affairs. If you have time, you might as well pay attention to how your company plans to deal with Chu Ling's matter."

When Chu Ling was mentioned, Xiaoyue stood there in silence.

The company has already received the news, but they didn't say what to do. They just asked her to wait for news here.

……

Xie Qingxuan left the hotel and got into the car directly.

Secretary Zhao did not follow this time. Xie Qingxing was accompanied by two other new faces.

Secretary Zhao sent the people away, then turned around and took the others back to the hotel. He still had to deal with the matters that Xie Qingxing had asked him to do.

The police had naturally taken him in long ago, otherwise they would not have let Xie Qingxuan go to the transaction location at ease.

The transaction location was set at an abandoned factory not far from the hotel.

It's a remote place, and almost no one goes there.

After the car stopped near the factory, Xie Qingying got out of the car alone carrying a box.

He looked around and found that most of the space was empty, so he turned and walked into the factory.

Behind him, the two people who followed him did not move.

They sat in the car, skillfully took out equipment from their backpacks, and monitored the movements around Xie Qingxing in real time.

The factory looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, with broken walls and ruins filled with broken sand, gravel and dust.

It was five o'clock in the morning, and it was still dark outside, let alone inside the factory.

As requested by the other party, Xie Qingying placed the box containing the ransom about ten meters away from the factory gate.

Logically, he should have turned around and left after paying the ransom.

But Xie Qingxing didn't move.

He looked from inside the factory to above.

Although this factory has been abandoned, it has not completely collapsed and there are at least one or two floors left.

Meanwhile, inside the car outside the factory.

"Why didn't you move, sir?"

"The other party asked for a ransom to be paid here so that they would not keep you here. The longer you stay here, the more dangerous it will be."

"Should I remind Mr. to leave first..."

"Wait, there seems to be someone in the corner!"

"Remind sir quickly."

Before the reminder came from the headset, Xie Qingxing had already discovered the other party's existence.

He quickly retracted his gaze and pushed the man to the ground before the other person could get close to him.

There were only five people hiding in the factory, far fewer than Xie Qingxing had imagined.

He almost didn't need any help from others as he had quickly taken care of several people.

By the time the police guarding outside arrived, Xie Qingying had already thrown those people together, waiting to be dealt with at any time.

"Mr. Xie, are you okay?" The policeman in charge of this case looked at Xie Qingying, obviously surprised that Xie Qingying reached out.

"I'm fine." Xie Qingying waved his hand and looked down at those people.

These people's goal was not the ransom at all. It seemed like they had predicted that he would come and ambushed him here on purpose.

Suddenly, Xie Qingxing felt it was ridiculous. The other party actually thought that they could catch him by sending these trash?

At the same time as several people were being taken away, Xie Qingxing received another message on his mobile phone.
