In the chief editorial office of the daily newspaper, the news of the kidnapping of Jiang Feng, a newspaper reporter who was on a business trip to Nanzhou, was immediately reported to the highest levels of the newspaper. The chief editorial office director, Jiang Zhiming, personally came to the president, Hu Dingyi's office to report the matter.
How could this happen? When Hu Dingyi heard the report, he was shocked. They were the mouthpiece of the central party newspaper, and there had never been a kidnapping of a reporter. Now that this had happened, Hu Dingyi's shock could be imagined.
Did they ask the local authorities to do their best to save her? Hu Dingyi looked at Jiang Zhiming. He had some impression of the name Jiang Feng, but he couldn't remember it at the moment. There were many reporters in the newspaper, and as the head of the newspaper, it was impossible for him to know everyone's name. Only the middle and high-level cadres could enter his line of sight. He didn't have much of an impression of the low-level reporters.
He had already communicated with the local authorities in Nanzhou City. Jiang Zhiming nodded. At first glance, it seemed like a low-level reporter had been kidnapped, but the negative impact of this matter was far more than a simple kidnapping of a reporter. It was related to the dignity and status of the newspaper.
As the central party newspaper, they undoubtedly had to maintain their own authority. Even if it was just an ordinary reporter being kidnapped, they still couldn't tolerate it.
Jiang Feng, this name sounds quite familiar. Hu Dingyi said after a moment of silence.
She used to have a column in Jianghai Daily. Her pen name was Leng Fu Zi. I think President Hu should remember it now. Jiang Zhiming reminded Hu Dingyi. In fact, as long as one knew Jiang Feng's pen name and saw Jiang Feng in person, anyone would have a deep impression of her. No one would have thought that a young and beautiful lady could write such a witty and sharp article. Her pen name was Leng Fu Zi. Just by looking at the pen name, anyone would think she was an old man. As soon as they saw her in person, the first impression and the real impression formed a sharp contrast. It was hard not to remember.
Oh, it's her. Hu Dingyi suddenly remembered. Jiang Feng belonged to the newspaper. She was brought in as a special talent from the local party newspaper. As soon as Jiang Zhiming mentioned it, he had an impression.
We must make the local authorities do their best to save her. I'll call Secretary Youjun later and let them pay more attention. Hu Dingyi emphasized to Jiang Zhiming once again that he was taking this matter seriously. Not only was he concerned about the safety of the newspaper reporters, but he also wanted to maintain the authority and status of the newspaper.
When Jiang Zhiming heard what Hu Dingyi said, he nodded. He didn't need Hu Dingyi to emphasize it. He also knew that he had to put pressure on the local authorities and make them pay attention. However, as the head of the newspaper office, it would be more effective for Hu Dingyi to call the head of Nanhai Province, Fu Youjun. Hu Dingyi was also qualified to talk to Fu Youjun directly. Their newspaper office was a ministerial unit, and Hu Dingyi was a genuine ministerial cadre.
President, I still have some information from Nanzhou, but I don't know if I should say it. Jiang Zhiming wasn't in a hurry to leave. His main purpose for coming here was to listen to what he had to say later.
If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't beat around the bush. Hu Dingyi frowned.
President, Nanzhou's side has already grasped the situation of the kidnappers. The person who ordered the kidnapping is very likely Ji Kangwei's son. Jiang Zhiming said.
Ji Kangwei's son? Hu Dingyi stood up. This time, he was far more shocked than before. There was a clear look of disbelief in the depths of his eyes as he stared at Jiang Zhiming. Are you sure?
This was information from Nanzhou, and it was said to be relatively reliable. Jiang Zhiming nodded solemnly.
Hu Dingyi didn't say anything. The hand holding the phone also paused for a moment. He knew the other meaning behind Jiang Zhiming's report to him. This involved a game between different factions. Ji Kangwei's faction and his faction had always opposed each other in the struggle for the country's reform and development. Ji Kangwei was a relatively important cadre in the opposing faction and had been focused on grooming. After this year's party congress, he would, if nothing unexpected happened, be demoted to a sub-provincial city in a developed province in the east as a top official. If this kidnapping was really the work of Ji Kangwei's son, then it was enough to make Ji Kangwei suffer. And they could also use this matter to make an issue of it. The one who got into trouble was a newspaper reporter, so it was perfectly justifiable for them to directly intervene. Hu Dingyi had already thought that if he handled this matter properly, it would most likely give him extra points.
At Hu Dingyi's position, it was already very difficult to advance further, especially in the field of propaganda. Hu Dingyi's best way out was to seek a demotion and become a top official in a local area. Only then could he seek a higher level of promotion in the future. Otherwise, his position would basically be the end of it.
Zhiming, keep in touch with the Nanzhou Municipal Government at all times to understand the latest developments of the incident. If there is any news, report to me immediately. Hu Dingyi waved his hand at Jiang Zhiming.
Jiang Zhiming nodded and turned to leave Hu Dingyi's office. His task had been completed. Next, he only needed to pay attention to the kidnapping incident itself. Things outside of the incident were not something he should worry about. However, if Hu Dingyi could advance further in one day, Jiang Zhiming knew that his own future would not be bad.
Ji Kangwei was very annoyed. He didn't want to pay attention to Chen Xing's phone call, but he had a faint premonition in his heart. After sitting in the office for a while, although Ji Kangwei was annoyed by Chen Xing's phone call, he didn't dare to delay for too long. He still called his son, Ji Jiping. Ji Kangwei was also worried that something big would happen.
Dad, what's the matter? Ji Jiping didn't expect to receive a call from his father. At this moment, he was lecherously admiring Jiang Feng's beauty when he was angry. He held the phone in one hand, and his other hand was wandering around Jiang Feng's body. He was very enthusiastic.
Where are you? Ji Kangwei asked.
I'm just playing outside. Dad, is there anything? If not, I'll hang up first. Ji Jiping was a little impatient. Just as he was about to slowly play with Jiang Feng, his father called. He was in a hurry to hang up.
Are you in Nanzhou?
That's right, I'm in Nanzhou with a few friends.
With whom? I just received a call from the mayor of Nanzhou City. You ordered people to kidnap a reporter from the People's Daily. Is that true?
What, a reporter from the People's Daily? Ji Jiping was stunned for a moment. His hand on Jiang Feng's body froze. He looked at Jiang Feng in a daze and forgot to answer his father's question.
I asked you if there was such a thing? When Ji Kangwei saw that his son did not say anything, he shouted angrily. The bad premonition in his heart was getting stronger.
Dad, my signal is a little bad. I'll call you back later. Ji Jiping hung up the phone in a flurry. He had already retracted his hand from Jiang Feng's body.
Are you from the People's Daily? Ji Jiping took out the cloth covering Jiang Feng's mouth.
Pui.
Before Jiang Feng could reply, Ji Jiping was greeted with a mouthful of spit.
Brother Ji, what's wrong? Several of Ji Jiping's companions surrounded him. They saw that something was wrong.
Liang Ya, that bitch, deceived us. A trace of anger flashed in Ji Jiping's eyes. He reached out to wipe the spit on his face. Surprisingly, Ji Jiping did not curse. He looked at Jiang Feng with a little more apprehension. Today's matter was a misunderstanding. Miss Jiang, I apologize to you. Whatever compensation you want, just say it. As long as I can do it, I will definitely satisfy you.
Compensation? Do you think I care about your compensation? Jiang Feng gritted his teeth. The burning anger could swallow people.
I already said that this was a misunderstanding. It was Liang Ya, that bitch, who deliberately instigated it. Miss Jiang, I sincerely apologize to you. I'm really sorry. Ji Jiping endured his anger. He had never been so humble before, but he had to pretend to be a grandson. The phone in his hand was still ringing. Ji Jiping did not need to look to know that it was his father calling. He had to settle Jiang Feng. As long as Jiang Feng denied that there was any kidnapping, he could tell the public that this was a joke between friends. This was his way of saving himself.
Okay, then let me go first. Jiang Feng took a deep breath. Ji Jiping's attitude changed 360 degrees after answering the phone. Jiang Feng had the urge to cry. She knew that she was safe for the time being. She could not control her anger just now, but at this moment, Jiang Feng told herself to continue to stay calm. She was still meat on the chopping board. It was not a wise choice to provoke the other party. If she really provoked the other party, she might do something crazy again, and she would be the one suffering.
Ji Jiping did not hesitate. He gestured to his companion to untie Jiang Feng. His eyes flashed across Jiang Feng's body. He unbuttoned a few of her shirt's buttons, but Ji Jiping did not dare to be presumptuous now and quickly looked away.
Jiang Feng's hands were almost numb. Her wrists were covered with traces of being strangled by the rope. She calmly buttoned her shirt and was very silent.
Miss Jiang, how about we reconcile? I'm willing to give you compensation, money, or something else, as long as you're satisfied. Ji Jiping said eagerly. I don't think we need to be enemies. We have a common enemy. This time, I was played by Liang Ya, and that Liang Ya is obviously targeting you. We should deal with her together.
Jiang Feng sneered. She felt that the other party was very pitiful. A man was played by a woman.
Hesitating, Jiang Feng pretended to be deep in thought. She was very angry. Although she was not raped, her body had more or less been violated. She should be very happy about the current result, but she would not let it go. At this moment, Jiang Feng forced herself to endure because she was still in the tiger's mouth. There were a few men on the other side. If she provoked them too much, it would cause them to break the jar and she would be the one to suffer in the end.
I can answer … Jiang Feng wanted to feign civility with the other party first and settle the score after leaving. However, the whistling sound of the police siren approached from afar.
Jiang Feng's suppressed anger suddenly erupted like a volcano. She lifted her leg and kicked, hitting the crotch between Ji Jiping's legs.
I'll kick your balls. Jiang Feng was furious. This kick was full of strength. It was the full strength of Jiang Feng's anger. It was very likely that Ji Jiping would become a eunuch.
Jiang Feng did not think about the consequences. Even if the other party really became a eunuch, Jiang Feng could find an excuse for herself.
This was legitimate self-defense.
Jiang Feng believed that her excuse could convince people.
… …
Chen Xing stayed in his office. The news that Jiang Feng had been found reached him as soon as possible. Hearing that Jiang Feng was fine, Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, Liang Ya was sitting opposite him. Liang Ya seemed to have heard the contents of Chen Xing's phone call and spread her hands at Chen Xing. "Mayor Chen, look, it really has nothing to do with me. I'm also a woman, and I hate kidnapping women the most. How could I have anything to do with Miss Jiang's kidnapping? By the way, I forgot to tell Mayor Chen that I'm a member of a women's rights organization."
The corners of Chen Xing's mouth curled up slightly, which could be regarded as a mockery of Liang Ya's words. Chen Xing really did not know how to describe the woman in front of him. Although they had only met a few times, Chen Xing's impression of Liang Ya was already very bad. She said that she was a member of a women's rights organization, but Chen Xing took it as a joke.
"Miss Liang, you can leave first." Chen Xing sent her away without hesitation.
Liang Ya glanced at Chen Xing. She was in a bad mood and did not want to stay any longer.
Liang Ya walked to the door. She did not expect to be waiting for her by two policemen. Liang Ya wanted to pretend to ignore them and leave directly, but the two policemen stopped her rudely. "Miss Liang, come back to the police station with us first."
"I'm the vice president of the Nanzhou branch of Jinghua News Agency. How dare you arrest me?" Liang Ya widened her eyes.
"Come with us." One of the policemen repeated what he had just said without batting an eyelid.
Liang Ya's face was ugly, and her chest was heaving up and down. It was really turbulent.
"Mayor Chen, what do you mean by this?" Liang Ya turned to look at Chen Xing. Her whole face was gloomy and terrifying.
"The Public Security Bureau is handling the case. I won't interfere." Chen Xing spread his hands.
"Just wait and see. If you dare to arrest me, you will regret it."
