CHAPTER 170: CHAPTER 169 WEI XUEQING IS MISSING (1/3)

Yang Chen, lying on the stretcher, held Ye Xin’s hand weakly, and said, "Don’t forget what you said!"

Ye Xin’s cheeks flushed, feeling a bit shy, but she still bent down and kissed Yang Chen on the lips, whispering, "You need to get better soon!"

Feeling the icy touch on his lips, Yang Chen let out a silly laugh, then was carried away.

...

The security personnel arrived.

They took over the investigation after seeing Qian Hai’s corpse.

Meanwhile, Yang Chen was sent to the First Hospital.

Ye Xin and Zhang Qishan followed along and rushed back.

After some emergency treatment, the doors of the operating room opened, and the doctor came out.

Ye Xin and Qin Zhiyuan quickly stood up to greet him.

The doctor said, "It’s truly a miracle. The position of the two knives was incredibly fortunate, they didn’t hit any major arteries, so there’s no serious danger. After disinfection and stitching, there shouldn’t be much problem. The patient just needs to rest a while."

Hearing this, Ye Xin let out a long breath of relief.

Earlier, she really thought she was going to lose Yang Chen.

"Boo hoo!" Chen Siyan sat on the bench, crying.

Ye Xin glanced at her and walked over to comfort her, "It’s alright, your brother is fine now, don’t worry."

Chen Siyan collapsed into Ye Xin’s arms, wailing, "It’s all because of me! It’s all because of me that my brother ended up like this, boo hoo! I harmed him!"

"Silly child!" Ye Xin gently patted Chen Siyan’s head and said, "Being healthy and happy is what your brother wishes for you the most. Alright, don’t cry anymore, it’s all over now."

Chen Siyan calmed down, seriously nodding her head.

...

Yang Chen felt like he had slept for a long time, his limbs ached as if needles were piercing through them, his whole body felt like it was being pricked by thousands of needles, a feeling only Yang Chen could truly understand.

He slightly opened his eyes, seeing the ceiling above and the slightly blinding energy-saving lamps.

"I’m not dead yet." Yang Chen didn’t know whether to feel happy or in pain.

He was glad that he was still alive, able to see those who loved him and those he loved.

The pain came from the condition of his internal meridians, which had reached an irreversible state. Even if the injuries on his body wouldn’t kill him, the problem with his meridians would sooner or later.

He sighed deeply, closing his eyes, deciding to leave future matters for the future, leaving it to fate.

Just then, Yang Chen heard a commotion outside.

"Uncle Zhong, you should go back, I can take care of him here." It was Ye Xin’s voice.

"It’s alright, I’ll stay here to watch over him. He’s in this state because of Xueqing, it’s our fault, so I have the responsibility to take care of him." It was Wei Qingzhong’s voice.

But, why wasn’t Wei Xueqing here?

"Where did Xueqing go?" Ye Xin asked.

"I don’t know, I called her several times but she didn’t answer. Maybe she’s afraid to see Yang Chen like this." Wei Qingzhong sighed.

...

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Wei Qingzhong answered the call, "Hello!"

"What! Where? Alright, alright! I’ll agree to whatever you want, just don’t hurt her!"

"What happened?"

"Xueqing has been kidnapped, they’re demanding one billion ten!"

"One billion ten! Are they crazy? Who did it?"

"I don’t know, but I think it might be related to the threatening letter from before!"

"The threatening letter? Is that why you hired Yang Chen as your bodyguard?"

"That’s right."

"I’ll go with you, I’ll report to the authorities, don’t use your phone for now!"

...

Yang Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

Wei Xueqing had been kidnapped!

He assessed his body, feeling some pain, but he could still move.

He struggled to get up, seeing Chen Siyan had fallen asleep at the bedside.

Seeing that Chen Siyan was unharmed, Yang Chen was much relieved.

He quietly got up, trying not to disturb Chen Siyan.

"Brother! Don’t leave me!" Chen Siyan suddenly cried out.

Yang Chen was startled, quickly looking at Chen Siyan, only to find that she was just talking in her sleep, still mumbling dreamily.

Looking at Chen Siyan, Yang Chen’s eyes softened.

He knew this whole ordeal must have truly frightened Chen Siyan.

"I’ll be back." Yang Chen said softly, turning around and quietly heading to the door.

But as he reached the door, he saw two guards standing watch, preventing any exit.

He turned his head towards the window, cautiously moving towards it.

...

Beicheng Security Bureau.

"What?" Zhao Wende stood up abruptly, "Wei Xueqing has been kidnapped?"

He felt like his head was going to explode, they had just deployed everything to find Yang Chen and Chen Siyan, brought back Qian Hai’s corpse, and now he didn’t even know how to report all this upstairs.

And now another group company CEO had been kidnapped, he felt his promotion plan for the year was going down the drain.

However, years of case-handling experience and a solid psychological mindset allowed Zhao Wende to quickly calm down.

"When was she kidnapped? Do you still have the phone number the kidnappers called from?" Gu Xijun asked first.

Zhao Wende glared at Gu Xijun, pulling her aside, and said to Wei Qingzhong, "President Wei, please calm down, don’t worry, did the kidnappers propose a transaction location?"

"No, they just ordered me to prepare one billion cash immediately!" Wei Qingzhong said.

"Have you prepared it?" Zhao Wende asked.

Wei Qingzhong nodded, "I’ve already sent people to make arrangements at various banks, but it’s unlikely to find that much money."

Zhao Wende said, "Don’t worry, we will assist you. Try to raise the money first to stabilize them."

Ye Xin said, "Did Uncle Zhong mention anything to you about the threatening letter? I suspect it’s related to that earlier incident and connected to Qian Hai’s kidnapping case as well. I even suspect that the other party must have known about Qian Hai’s actions and took advantage of the chaos when Wei Xueqing was unprotected, to carry out the kidnapping. By the time we discovered it, they had already taken the person away, and we couldn’t react in time!"

"You are absolutely right!" Gu Xijun gave Ye Xin a thumbs up, praising her, secretly thinking she truly is a top undercover agent.

Ye Xin glanced at Gu Xijun and said seriously, "Now we need to stabilize them first, try to raise the funds, and let them see we’re preparing the funds, we don’t necessarily have to have all the money, just let them see we’re making efforts."

"Exactly!" Zhao Wende nodded, "President Wei, prepare the funds first, we’ll try to gather clues!"

...

But, gathering one billion ten in funds, can it be done just by saying so?

Wei Qingzhong searched all over the city banks, leveraging various connections, and only managed to gather two billion.

Additionally, he borrowed one billion from Zhang Qishan, leaving a gap of seven billion, Wei Qingzhong had no idea what to do.

At this moment, someone called him, saying they could gather the remaining money.

Wei Qingzhong’s eyes widened immediately, delightedly he rushed over with people.
