Chapter 342: Chapter 343: 1 Billion Ransom
“I never expected you to have such a side. Should I try to understand you more?” Su Changfeng said with a calm face.
Previously, he had Zhu Lie investigate Yue Qingshan’s identity, and there was nothing unusual about it. However, Yue Qingshan’s behavior made Su Changfeng think she was not ordinary. But upon careful reflection on her background, the more it seemed flawless, the more it felt problematic.
Why would a farmer’s family suddenly go abroad for business?
“If you want to get to know me, I can give you the opportunity anytime,” Yue Qingshan said with a smile.
Su Changfeng remained silent. Now that Yue Qingshan already knew about the Underground Boxing Ring, there was no issue taking her to Charming.
When they arrived at Charming, Zhu Lie, Feng Bin, and Dao Jiu were all present. Yesterday, the three of them had already received the news from Su Changfeng and sent people out to look for clues.
“How’s the situation?” Su Changfeng asked Zhu Lie directly upon seeing him.
“We still haven’t received any news about your sister-in-law’s whereabouts. During the day’s surveillance, we saw them being forced into a car and taken away. The driver seems familiar with the surveillance on every street, almost avoiding all the street cameras, leaving no way to track these people,” Zhu Lie said.
He was particularly anxious and had tried his best, sending thousands of his men out to search for clues, almost staying up all night. Yet until now, nothing has been found.
Su Changfeng’s face was icy. It was caused by Huangfu Heibai. If he used Tang Qiulu to force him to lose the match, the match was already over, and Tang Qiulu should have been released. But since she hasn’t appeared, the situation is not that simple.
“What exactly happened? Why was your sister-in-law kidnapped?” Zhu Lie asked with a puzzled expression.
In his eyes, Su Changfeng shouldn’t have provoked anyone else, so why did this happen?
“None of that matters now. The most important thing is to find Qiulu!” Su Changfeng said coldly.
Huangfu Heibai will definitely not get away with it, but finding him can be done later. Right now, the primary concern should be ensuring Tang Qiulu’s safety.
“You don’t need to worry. As long as your sister-in-law hasn’t left Hai City, I can definitely find her, even if I have to turn the whole city upside down!” Zhu Lie declared.
At this moment, Su Changfeng’s phone rang, displaying the name of his wife.
Considering Su Changfeng’s current state of mind, even if a plane suddenly crashed in front of him, his expression wouldn’t change. But when he saw the name on the phone screen, he became nervous, even his hands trembled a bit.
Seeing this, Yue Qingshan instinctively clenched her fists. Just a single phone call can make you ? How deep is your affection for Tang Qiulu?
In the Tang Family for three years, you’ve faced all kinds of humiliation, yet why do you still love Tang Qiulu so deeply!
As a man, do you really not care about your dignity for Tang Qiulu?
It’s not just Su Changfeng who was anxious. Zhu Lie rubbed his nose subconsciously; he always did this when nervous.
Others might not know about Su Changfeng’s feelings for Tang Qiulu, but he witnessed their relationship firsthand. For three years, regardless of the weather, Su Changfeng would always see Tang Qiulu off to work. Can an ordinary person manage to do that?
“Answer it quickly! Why are you standing there stupefied?” Zhu Lie reminded Su Changfeng.
Su Changfeng adjusted his breathing and answered the call.
“I want ten billion.” After the call connected, a distorted voice came from the other end.
“Okay, how do we make the trade? I need to be assured that Qiulu is currently safe.” Su Changfeng agreed right away. Don’t mention ten billion; as long as Tang Qiulu is safe, he would even give a hundred billion!
“Your coward husband wants to talk to you.”
“Chang Feng, I’m fine, don’t worry about me.”
Tang Qiulu’s voice came through the receiver. From her tone, it seemed nothing was wrong, allowing Su Changfeng to breathe a sigh of relief.
“Are you relieved now? Once you prepare the money, I will contact you.” After saying this, the call was ended.
Su Changfeng immediately crushed his phone into scrap metal, gritting his teeth, he said to Zhu Lie: “It’s Tang Xiangdong. Find that bastard Tang Xiangdong!”
Tang Xiangdong deliberately lowered his voice to alter it, but for Su Changfeng, the tone was unmistakably familiar.
His tone was always filled with disdain and mockery, and Tang Xiangdong had always been , looking down on Su Changfeng.
Previously, Tang Qiulu had told him that Tang Xiangdong was expelled from the Tang Group, but Su Changfeng didn’t understand how Tang Xiangdong got involved with Huangfu Heibai.
Huangfu Heibai originally kidnapped Tang Qiulu to secure Sima Chenguang’s victory in the match, but the match ended yesterday, so logically, he should have released Tang Qiulu.
But since the one who kidnapped her happened to be Tang Xiangdong, and he’s particularly down-and-out now, he definitely won’t just let Tang Qiulu go.
In the same room as before, Tang Xiangdong wore a mask. That muscular man was now dead because Tang Xiangdong refused to release Tang Qiulu easily, leading to a clash and accidentally killing the muscular man.
Now that Tang Xiangdong has committed murder, his only escape is to flee abroad, which is why he demanded ten billion from Su Changfeng.
And that ten billion was meticulously calculated by Tang Xiangdong. Currently, the Tang Group could, at most, just provide that amount.
Of course, once the money is taken out, the group would be on the brink of bankruptcy, and Tang Qiulu as chairman would disappear.
He not only wants the money but also seeks revenge against Tang Qiulu, aiming to prevent Su Changfeng from living off her in the future.
“Tang Chairman, your Tang Family is about to go bankrupt. How do you feel now?” Tang Xiangdong said to Tang Qiulu.
Tang Qiulu had sensed something familiar about Tang Xiangdong before, although she couldn’t see his face due to the mask. However, from his silhouette, she gradually identified the problem.
“Tang Xiangdong, the Tang Family will never go bankrupt, and you won’t get that ten billion,” Tang Qiulu said calmly.
Hearing Tang Qiulu directly address him by name, Tang Xiangdong shook all over and suddenly stood up.
“Don’t get excited. I recognized you as Tang Xiangdong from the start. Even if you don’t admit it, so what? Besides, speaking in a lowered voice is very uncomfortable, isn’t it?” Tang Qiulu said.
Tang Xiangdong remained silent, thinking that once he got the money, he could flee abroad. Even if Tang Qiulu saw through him, so what? Once he was overseas, no one would know where he went.
