"Mr Wang, Miss Xiao, forgive me for being blunt, but did you guys offend anyone when you were doing business?" Lingshan had no choice but to ask about these things in detail, since the kidnappers had called Xiao Qinlin earlier, saying that their daughter had been kidnapped and hanging up the phone.
There was no reason, no motive, and no mention of the ransom. Wang Xuben and Xiao Qinlin were confused. They tried to contact their daughter but couldn't get through to her, so they hurriedly came to report the case.
"Who did you offend …" Qinlin turned to Wang Xuben after some thought.
Wang Xuben had always been the one in charge of the business, and Qinlin had always been in charge of the logistics. As a result, the chances of her offending anyone was very low, and the main thing was whether Wang Xuben had offended anyone.
"I've always been honest with my business- I've never done anything like that, and I work well with my business partners as well. We've been friends for many years, so I don't think we have any enemies." Wang Xuben shook his head after some thought.
"Then what about the Xiao family?" Lingshan didn't get any useful clues, so she had no choice but to get straight to the point.
"The Xiao family? Officer Song, you know about the Xiao family? " Qinlin paused. She'd never interacted with Lingshan before, so naturally she didn't know about her other identity.
"I'm from House Song, one of the noble houses in the past." Lingshan didn't hide anything. "If this wasn't caused by you and your wife, then could it be caused by the Xiao family?"
"I see … The Xiao family's people are very arrogant, and we don't really have much contact with them. Only this year, when my brother wanted my daughter to marry Zhaolong from House Kang, did we have some contact …" Qinlin said after some thought. "If we're talking about enemies, then the Xiao family seems to have offended someone called Lin Yi …"
"Lin Yi?" Lingshan shook her head with a bitter smile. "He can't be the kidnapper."
"Ah? Why? " Qinlin paused, not expecting Lingshan to deny the answer right away. She didn't like it. It took her so long to think of an enemy, but Lingshan said it wasn't. What was the point of thinking?
"Even if Lin Yi had a grudge against the Xiao family, he'd go after the Xiao family, he wouldn't kidnap your daughter," Lingshan explained. "The Xiao family is nothing to Lin Yi …"
Lingshan wanted to continue explaining, but Wang Xuben's phone rang. Lingshan stopped talking and looked at Wang Xuben. This might be a call from the kidnappers. Lingshan signaled Liu Wangli, who had been transferred to Donghai with her, to investigate the situation. She turned to Wang Xuben. "Pick it up first. If it's the kidnappers, try to buy as much time as possible …"
Wang Xuben nodded and picked up the phone. He saw a strange phone number, but he didn't think much about it. It was normal for kidnappers to change their phone numbers. He picked up the phone directly. "Hello, I'm Wang Xuben!"
"Hello, I'm Wang Xuben!" "Hello, I'm Wang Xinyan's classmate from university. There's something bad I want to tell you …" Mengyao's voice came from the other side of the phone. She didn't beat around the bush. "Wang Xinyan was kidnapped at the school gate!"
"What! You're Yanyan's classmate? Yanyan was kidnapped at the school gate? " Wang Xuben was startled. He didn't expect it to be Xinyan's classmate. He only received a short call from the kidnappers, but they didn't say where Xinyan was kidnapped. He didn't ask either. Now that he heard that Xinyan's classmate might be a witness, he immediately said, "I already know about this. Can you come to the police station? I'm at the police station right now. Can you tell the officers the details of Yanyan's kidnapping? "
"Oh … Okay." Mengyao frowned when she heard that Wang Xuben already knew about Xinyan's kidnapping. It seemed like the kidnappers had contacted Wang Xuben already. This meant that the kidnappers weren't after Lin Yi.
But in this case, the matter became even more confusing! If they weren't after Lin Yi, then it should be someone Xinyan or her family had offended. It should be a normal kidnapper, but that wasn't the case. Even Chentian couldn't take a single hit from them, and the Purple Thunderbolt Beast couldn't do anything to them either. A kidnapper of this level didn't seem to be a normal person, did he?
If they weren't after Lin Yi, then things were even more troublesome. They didn't even have an imaginary enemy.
"Wu Chentian, are you alright? Let Shu stay and take care of you? "Mengyao turned to Chentian as she was heading to the police station.
"I'm fine. I won't die." Chentian grinned. "When boss comes back, he'll recover instantly! Plus, I still have Grandma Sun to feed and drink. You guys go, don't worry about me! "
Mengyao nodded and quickly left the villa with Yushu. They drove to the police station in Donghai.
Lingshan was surprised to see Mengyao and Yushu in her office- so they were the witnesses Wang Xuben was talking about?
"Eh? Song Fox … Sis, what are you doing here? " Yushu was about to call Lingshan Fox Song, but she remembered that Lingshan had risked her life to help her and Mengyao escape with Lin Yi. She couldn't bring herself to mock her like she used to.
Plus, her brother had moved on, and Lingshan had fallen in love with Shield Bro. She couldn't say anything more about Lingshan.
"I just got transferred here. This is the capital, so it counts as a promotion." Lingshan said. "Where's Lin Yi?"
"Lin Yi and Sun Jingyi went out. There's something they need to take care of." Mengyao said. "If Lin Yi was home, the kidnappers wouldn't have gotten away so easily."
Chentian was in a bad state, but Mengyao believed that if Lin Yi was home, Lin Yi would be able to do something about it. It was a blind trust. Mengyao didn't know why or when it started, but she had this kind of stubborn faith in Lin Yi. Maybe it was because of Shu.
Wang Xuben and Qinlin were a bit weirded- how did these two girls know Lin Yi? And Xinyan seemed to know Lin Yi as well? They had suspected that Lin Yi had kidnapped his daughter, but now it seemed that Lin Yi wasn't home at all.
