Chapter 456: Chapter 444: Lu Jiaxin Falls Ill Chapter 456: Chapter 444: Lu Jiaxin Falls Ill Nie Zhan comforted her, “Jiaxin, the doctor just said whether Gu Wenfeng will wake up depends on his will to live. Someone like Gu Wenfeng, who has been through many battles, surely has a very strong will to live. So you don’t need to worry, he will definitely wake up.”
Apart from being expensive, the Recuperate Hospital’s medical skills and services are impeccable. Of course, the hospital caters to the wealthy elite of Hong Kong, and their customer service is always top-notch.
Lu Jiaxin nodded repeatedly, “You’re right, he won’t come to any harm. His wife and kids are still waiting for him at home. He won’t come to harm, he definitely won’t.”
Seeing that dawn was breaking, Nie Zhan coaxed her, “Jiaxin, you haven’t closed your eyes all night, let’s go back! I’ll have someone keep watch here, and they’ll call me immediately if anything happens.”
This time, Lu Jiaxin didn’t refuse and said, “I’ll go back, take a shower, change my clothes, and then come back.”
Feeling sticky and somewhat dizzy, she knew she couldn’t afford to get sick now and needed to drink some ginger tea once she was home.
Nie Zhan wanted her to go back and rest, as being up all night and going through such a shock was hard on anyone, let alone her, but he also didn’t dare go against her wishes at the moment.
“Okay, you go back, take a shower, change your clothes, and I’ll come back with you.”
Once home, Lu Jiaxin told Nie Zhan, “I’m fine, you should hurry to work!”
But Nie Zhan was not reassured, “I haven’t had breakfast yet, I’ll go to work after breakfast.”
After the shower, Miao Na was blow-drying Lu Jiaxin’s hair when Jiaxin fell asleep before her hair was dry. Miao Na didn’t dare to move her, fearing that waking her would send her back to the hospital.
Miao Na asked Steward Meng to watch over Lu Jiaxin, then she went downstairs and recounted last night’s events in detail to Nie Zhan.
After explaining, Miao Na said with a note of admiration, “Mr. Nie, the boss was very scared upon learning that kidnappers were blocking the road, but she cooperated with us the entire time. When she rolled out of the car, she kept her cell phone with her and sought help from you in time.”
Calling Nie Zhan instead of the police was a very good decision. The police and ambulances couldn’t possibly have arrived as quickly, and it showed that the boss was very clear-headed at that time. Thanks to her clarity, Wang Lin and Gu Wenfeng got help so quickly. If they had been delayed even half an hour, both of their lives would have been in danger.
Upon hearing this, Nie Zhan grew even more concerned.
Miao Na pondered and then said, “Mr. Nie, this kidnapping is very strange. If the kidnappers were after money, the boss always keeps a low profile, and outsiders don’t know her true net worth. Moreover, if she was kidnapped, as her boyfriend, you might not necessarily pay the ransom…”
They all knew that Nie Zhan cared deeply for Lu Jiaxin. If she were kidnapped, he would certainly raise the ransom, but to outsiders who only saw them as a dating couple and not as husband and wife, it was uncertain whether he would be willing to part with tens of millions for a ransom. Thus, she found this kidnapping suspicious.
Nie Zhan had already sent people to investigate it.
Miao Na continued, “Boss, of the three robbers who escaped, one was seriously injured and two were lightly injured. I’ve already told the police, and based on this lead, they should be able to catch the kidnappers very soon.”
Nie Zhan’s face darkened as he said, “Those five kidnappers that were killed all had no identities, according to the call I made to the police station, they had smuggled in from the Mainland. I’m worried that the remaining three have escaped back to the Mainland.”
Miao Na said relaxedly, “The boss has good relations with the Mainland. Once the boss wakes up, she can make a call to the Mainland, and they will certainly help catch those three people.”
Catching those three kidnappers would allow them to find the mastermind behind the scenes in the shortest time possible.
Nie Zhan didn’t pick up on her optimism, saying, “You go upstairs and look after Jiaxin. She’s been through such a huge shock, I’m worried she won’t be able to cope.”
Her performance last night was impressive, but after such a big scare, Nie Zhan was concerned she might have nightmares. However, he had to find the mastermind behind it all and couldn’t stay by her side at all times.
Nie Zhan called Su Heyuan’s phone.
It was only six o’clock now, and Su Heyuan was still sleeping soundly. Awakened by the phone call and annoyed, he nevertheless picked it up with patience, worried there might be an issue.
Hearing Nie Zhan’s voice, Su Heyuan was very surprised, “Nie Zhan, why are you calling me so early?”
Nie Zhan felt that he was too out of the loop, since both Hu Zhifeng and Feng Qinglei had already called to inquire about the matter. He said, “Last night, kidnappers tried to abduct Jiaxin. Gu Wenfeng and Wang Lin fought desperately to protect her; five of the eight kidnappers were killed, and the remaining three escaped.”
Su Heyuan instantly lost his sleepiness, “How is Jiaxin now?”
Nie Zhan said, “Jiaxin is fine, just scared. The eight kidnappers came from the Mainland, and I’m worried the three who ran might escape back there.”
It was fortunate that Lu Jiaxin was dressed in long clothes yesterday; otherwise, it would not have been convenient for her to run, and she might have been injured.
Hearing that Lu Jiaxin was alright, Su Heyuan breathed a sigh of relief, “Don’t worry, if they really escape back to the Mainland, no matter what, we will find them.”
Nie Zhan needed this reassurance, “Then I’ll wait for your news.”
Su Heyuan immediately called Su Heming and relayed the near abduction of Lu Jiaxin, “Those three will surely flee back to the Mainland. Mobilize all our connections and offer a substantial reward, we must find these three as soon as possible.”
If the kidnappers really smuggled themselves back to Peng City, he would make it impossible for them to get away. Jiaxin had always been low-profile since arriving in Hong Kong, he wanted to see who was behind this.
After agreeing, Su Heming asked, “Big brother, should we tell uncle about this?”
Su Heyuan replied, “We must inform uncle. However, I don’t have many details right now. I’ll visit Jiaxin first to understand the entire situation, then call and tell uncle.”
Then Su Heyuan called a few friends, among them two who were smugglers. These two had significant influence and wide connections; if someone injured was smuggled back to the Mainland, they would surely hear about it.
With these arrangements in place, Su Heyuan hurried to Deep Water Bay, only to find out that Lu Jiaxin wasn’t there; she had gone to the hospital.
Steward Meng said, “Miss has a high fever, the master took her to the hospital, to Recuperate Hospital.”
Su Heyuan then rushed to the Recuperate Hospital. After the kidnapping incident, security at the hospital had been bolstered.
Stopped from going upstairs, Su Heyuan had no choice but to call Nie Zhan to gain access. Once inside the ward, he saw Lu Jiaxin’s face flushed red, babbling nonsense.
Su Heyuan’s heart clenched, and he quietly asked, “Nie Zhan, what did the doctor say?”
Nie Zhan, holding Lu Jiaxin’s hand, spoke softly, “Her high fever is caused by extreme fright. She was just worried about Gu Wenfeng all last night and couldn’t relax. This morning, when she finally let go, she collapsed.”
“What happened to Gu Wenfeng?”
Nie Zhan was not in the mood to talk about last night’s events, “Ask Da Hu, he will tell you.”
