"I’m a bit confused now," Qin Nuan rubbed her head. "Brother, what else is under my name?"
"Apart from the company, just a Close Courtyard, and the cash in your bank card," Qin Wen listed clearly on a piece of white paper.
"Wow, a Close Courtyard, that’s really valuable," Luo Qianqian blinked her eyes. "Your grandpa really treats you well," she said, feigning envy to please Qin Nuan.
"Then let’s keep it, and sell the company to avoid the constant scheming," Qin Wen quite agreed with Luo Qianqian’s comment. Grandpa really treated Qin Nuan incredibly well, but he felt no jealousy, as they too doted on Qin Nuan very much.
Never had he thought that this doting had almost harmed her.
"Hurry up and sell it, and buy me three cakes afterward, one strawberry, one mango, and one chocolate flavor. Don’t be stingy, I’m going to fleece you," Luo Qianqian said cheerfully, counting on her fingers.
"Sign the power of attorney, Second Brother." Qin Nuan slapped Luo Qianqian on the head calmly. "I’ll leave it all to you to handle."
"Is this the advantage of Second Brother Qin being a lawyer?" Luo Qianqian pouted, just like how he easily solved that complicated adoption issue.
"Do you really think you’re a hands-off manager?" Qin Wen laughed, looking at his sister. "Then I’d be fleecing a rich guy too, I’ll go print this and take advantage of the daylight to go to the notary office one more time."
Qin Nuan pouted, unconcerned, then watched Qin Wen leave and turned to Luo Qianqian, "About that woman..."
"Yeah, the boss’s mistress, from your school, close by advantage. Who knew you wouldn’t comply? Who knows what she’ll do next? It’s actually best to check such people into jail," Luo Qianqian said hatefully, "I hate people like that, who won’t rest until they achieve their goals."
"Moreover, that man looked at you with dissatisfaction, as if you had cheated, especially when I called you sister-in-law," Luo Qianqian didn’t forget to twist the knife, even if those two split up, she wouldn’t allow them to interfere with Fourth Brother and Qin Nuan’s relationship.
Qin Nuan glanced at her. "Probably a look of disillusionment, as if I had done something that shamed the school," Qin Nuan said. However, she was rather pleased with Luo Qianqian’s protectiveness.
Luo Qianqian usually kept her distance from everyone when the two of them were together, acting as if she didn’t want to be involved in their emotional life.
Being protective now, wasn’t it a form of acceptance?
Little did Qin Nuan know, Luo Qianqian’s coolness stemmed from the fear of Luo Yanran irritating Qin Nuan to the point where she would come seeking help from her, not wanting to be a villain herself, especially since their previous conflicts were evident to the whole world when they weren’t together.
"Exactly, what business is it of his to act all concerned?" Luo Qianqian scoffed coldly.
"Ding dong," Qin Nuan’s phone rang.
A message appeared: If you want your sister-in-law to come home safely, bring five million to the designated location, Location: XXXXX.
??? Qin Nuan was puzzled; she had many sisters-in-law?
"Do you have any sisters?" Qin Nuan directly showed the phone to Luo Qianqian.
"Unless the two aunts had secretly given birth, no." Even if mom did give birth to a girl, it wouldn’t concern this side. Besides, An Zilan is still pregnant.
Qin Wen then walked out with a frown on his face. "Qianqian, what happened to your phone?"
Qin Nuan’s phone rang again: "Nuannuan, is Qianqian with you?" It was Yue Tingyu’s call.
Qin Nuan quickly affirmed and passed the phone to Luo Qianqian; only after hearing Luo Qianqian’s voice did Yue Tingyu breathe a sigh of relief: "I’ll have Second Aunt come pick you up later, don’t wander off."
Luo Qianqian said there was no need, as Second Brother Qin would take her home soon.
Watching Qin Wen nod, Qin Nuan too looked confused. After hanging up, Luo Qianqian took out her phone, only to find it missing.
Qin Wen took out his phone, showing her the message that had just come in from Luo Qianqian’s phone: I’ve been kidnapped!!!
Luo Qianqian was startled and immediately grabbed Qin Wen’s phone. She didn’t save many contacts, only those she could memorize like mom, brother, Xu Tianyi, Qin Nuan, and He Wenyu.
So Mom definitely had no issues because she never had Lin Xu’s number.
It was only friends and relatives from Grandpa’s side.
Without hesitation, she called He Wenyu, "This is Luo Qianqian. I am fine. Please tell anyone who has my number that my phone is lost. I don’t know who sent the prank message."
He Wenyu agreed, having received a message earlier, then asked, "Are you going to use this number in the future?"
"This is my brother’s. I’ll see whether I get mine back; if not, I’ll change my number," Luo Qianqian said calmly and then hung up.
Then she turned to Qin Nuan, "Do you think it was a woman or a dog?"
"They didn’t touch you," Qin Nuan shook her head, a look of uncertainty on her face, but a second later, she looked apologetic: "I’ve dragged you into this."
Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes and clenched her fists: "They are dead meat."
There was nothing special in the phone, just a few stolen photos.
After speaking, she immediately went upstairs. Qin Wen was undoubtedly preparing the power of attorney, and since he could print documents, there was definitely a computer.
Looking at the computer, Luo Qianqian narrowed her eyes, her fingers dancing quickly across the keyboard, leaving Qin Wen who had followed her in astounded.
Soon, "The coordinates are on Shopping Street."
"Are you monitoring yourself?" Qin Nuan followed suit, not missing Luo Qianqian’s performance: "No wonder you chose this major."
"No, it was installed by someone else, afraid I’d get into trouble." Thinking back, it wasn’t initially used to investigate her, but more so for fear of her being kidnapped again.
"Call the police," Qin Wen hesitated for a moment, then directly said, "Can you pinpoint their exact location?"
"Big brother, what era do you think this is?" Then under Qin Nuan’s glaring eyes, she quickly corrected herself: "About a 50-meter deviation, can’t confirm the floor, though."
Qin Nuan, squinting his eyes, replied, "If it’s them, weren’t they supposed to go for ice cream? The newly opened ice-cream store on Shopping Street has been well-received."
"It doesn’t make sense though, shouldn’t they have discarded the item by now?" Qin Nuan continued speaking to himself.
"It’s a new model and quite valuable," Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes again: "Too bad turning it off won’t help."
The device wasn’t a software but a chip, equipped with a transmitter.
"Install one for me next time," Qin Nuan’s eyes widened: "Fit it on my phone, wallet, and keys."
"I can’t do that, that’s way too complicated," Luo Qianqian shrugged, looking at Qin Wen who had ended the call.
Qin Wen nodded towards them, "I have contacted an acquaintance. Let’s go and retrieve the phone then head to the notary office." He said as he stuffed the freshly printed documents into his briefcase and left the study first, remembering to take a laptop with him.
The car sped and soon arrived at Shopping Street.
"They really didn’t let me down," Qin Nuan said, glancing at two people inside the ice cream store and snorted coldly.
Qin Wen connected the computer to the nearby cafe’s internet cable and handed it to Luo Qianqian: "Confirm."
Luo Qianqian’s small hands flew over the online search, and she nodded with her eyes narrowed.
"Let me handle this," Qin Nuan stopped her brother and straightened her clothes, gracefully walking into the ice cream store.
