88 Careful Investigation

Luo Chen held the hung up phone and pondered for a long time.

The other party was too well-prepared. There was no way to confirm his identity.

There was no point in tracing the owner of the phone number. Such a threatening call must have been made on an Internet phone, and it was anonymous.

“President Luo, what should we do now? Should we call the police?”

A bodyguard asked carefully.

Luo Chen glanced at him, a thoughtful expression flashing across his eyes.

He was not sure if it was good to call the police. The other party had clearly come prepared. Perhaps they had even left someone to observe their actions in the dark.

The fact that he was so careful to protect his identity from being exposed meant that this kidnapper was very likely someone from the company.

Or at least someone Luo Chen was familiar with. He might even be able to recognize the voice.

Otherwise, it was difficult to explain why they were so careful.

“There’s no need to call the police… for now. Investigate carefully and find out President Zhao’s exact whereabouts during this period of time. See if there are any suspicious people.”

Luo Chen finally made up his mind.

One had to know that Zhao Ruoshuang was usually very cautious when she went out. She basically did not move alone.

After all, the company was in troubled times now, and her identity was the President of the company. She was very important in every aspect.

Even under such circumstances, she could still be kidnapped. This meant that the other party must have been following her carefully for a period of time.

Otherwise, it would not have been so clean.

Recently, Zhao Ruoshuang had often gone on short trips. Sometimes, for the sake of convenience, she basically did not go home to stay. Instead, she went to stay in a hotel or simply rested in the company.

In the end, she was taken away as soon as she returned home. If this was a coincidence, Luo Chen would not believe it.

Moreover, as a woman who lived alone, Zhao Ruoshuang was very vigilant. Only an acquaintance could trick her into opening the door, right?

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but before the matter was settled, everything was just speculation.

… .

In the distant suburbs.

In an abandoned factory.

Zhao Ruoshuang woke up from a long coma. For a moment, she did not know where she was.

“Ugh…”

She was just about to move when she was forced to groan slightly by the pain all over her body.

When she finally opened her eyes, she looked around in confusion.

This was a very spacious factory. There were some abandoned machines and a lot of trash piled up in a mess. The ground was even covered in thick dust. It was obvious that no one had been here for a long time.

However, there were messy footprints from the door to her position.

As for her, she was tied to an old but abnormally sturdy iron bed.

A smell of decay rushed into her nose, and a little fear spread in Zhao Ruoshuang’s heart.

She was restrained and could only turn her eyeballs slightly. There was a large area in the entire factory that was in her blind spot.

“Is there anyone here! Who brought me here! If you want money, tell me directly. There’s no need to be so serious.”

Zhao Ruoshuang quickly forced herself to calm down and shouted in a calm tone.

She did not know who would kidnap her, nor did she know what the other party’s goal was.

The only fortunate thing was that her clothes still looked very intact. There shouldn’t be any accidents that she couldn’t accept.

His voice echoed in the empty factory.

A moment later, Zhao Ruoshuang heard footsteps approaching.

The footsteps were very hesitant, as if they did not dare to approach, and they seemed to have some concerns.

Because of her vision, Zhao Ruoshuang could not see anything. Even if she tried her best to turn her head, she only saw a blurry figure swaying.

“Hehe, you’re quite energetic? If I had known earlier, I would have gagged you too.”

That person stood at a moderate distance. His voice was extremely hoarse, and it sounded like he was deliberately lowering his voice to ensure that no one could tell his true identity.

“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. Isn’t it just money? Name a price. I’ll get someone to transfer the money to your account immediately. As long as you guarantee my safety, I’ll give you anything you want.”

Zhao Ruoshuang seized this opportunity and said in a single breath.

The other party was silent for a long time. Only the sound of suppressed breathing could be heard.

“There’s no need. You’re even more useful.”

It was another hoarse sentence.

With that, the footsteps sounded again, but this time, they gradually disappeared into the distance.

Zhao Ruoshuang struggled anxiously, but she realized in despair that the ropes binding her were not ordinary ropes, but thin steel wires. No one could break free!

… .

Luo Chen had already returned to the company.

Zhao Ruoshuang was already certain that she had been kidnapped. Once such a huge piece of news spread, it would bring unimaginable serious consequences to the company.

Therefore, the most important thing now was to completely seal the news and not let anyone know that the President had disappeared.

The kidnapper should have thought so too. He only reminded them not to call the police and to gather 200 million yuan in three days. Other than that, he had no intention of publicizing it.

This was already great news for Luo Chen!

“Inform all the relevant departments that President Zhao has gone on a business trip. Because she left in a hurry, she didn’t hand over the contracts properly. If there’s any contract project that needs to be signed, I can sign it on her behalf.

Also, make sure that the story is consistent with everyone. At the same time, pay attention to who’s secretly asking about President Zhao. Report it to me in time.

Give those security officers a break and let them go back to rest. If the relevant information is leaked, I definitely won’t let them off.”

As Luo Chen spoke methodically, the secretary memorized everything.

After all, the company still needed to operate normally. If the project suffered losses because of Zhao Ruoshuang’s disappearance, it would be a huge problem.

After the secretary left, Luo Chen leaned back in his chair and rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.

He did not know what exactly had happened. There seemed to be a lot of trouble recently.

This kidnapping incident had exceeded his expectations!

If the news really leaked out, who would benefit the most…

As soon as his thoughts opened, Luo Chen suddenly sat up straight.

“Could it be Su Han? How dare he?”

Luo Chen muttered, unable to believe his guess.

After thinking about it, he simply called Su Han.

After all, kidnapping was too serious. If Zhao Ruoshuang was in danger, Luo Chen felt that he would never be able to forgive himself!

“Hello?”

The call was quickly picked up, and Su Han’s voice came from the receiver.

“I’m looking for Zhao Ruoshuang.”

Luo Chen spoke without warning.

Su Han was silent for a moment before he suddenly cursed. His curses were as unpleasant as they could be.
