Fortunately, Qian Ruoxi had realized early on that the cat had gone missing. Sweet Wine had not gone too far. An auntie in flowery clothes said in her broken Mandarin that she had seen it on a boulevard.

Lin Gantang walked further in along the tree-lined path. There were fewer people here, so Sweet Wine was strolling leisurely while avoiding the crowd, sizing up the world outside.

Lin Gantang went over and picked it up, patting the dirt off its body. “You suddenly ran off. What if you get lost and can’t find your way back?”

Just as she was about to turn around with the cat in her arms, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

The Ragdoll cat was startled and jumped up a tree. Its almond-shaped blue eyes stared down warily.

Shengfang Group.

Wen Yanqing was listening to Yi Qian’s report. “Director Qiao has already resigned. Previously, the company that offered him double pay went back on its word. He’s probably so angry that he’s banging the table now.”

Of course, they wouldn’t hire him. It was just a condition made to tempt him.

“His wife is even better – she has something against him and is now asking for a divorce. She wants him to leave the family with nothing. Director Qiao is in a terrible state right now.”

“Get someone to ask Mrs. Qiao if she needs legal aid.” As Wen Yanqing listened, he calmly signed the contract as if he was listening to a passerby’s story.

With the Wen family’s lawyer stepping in, Director Qiao could only pray for the best.

He drugged others and got some benefits, yet still wanted the victim to let him off easily, not knowing that his actions were vicious and deserved punishment.

Wen Yanqing knew that Lin Gantang was coming, so he waited for her. However, she did not arrive after a long time had passed. Looking at the time, it was getting late.

He made a call, but no one picked up. After a while, he called again, but the call went unanswered once more.

Wen Yanqing frowned and dialed the number in the bookstore.

“Hello?” Qian Ruoxi answered.

“I’m Wen Yanqing. Has Gantang gone home?”

“One of the cats in the shop ran away. The boss went to look for it just now and hasn’t returned. I don’t know if she has gone home directly,” Qian Ruoxi said.

Wen Yanqing didn’t see Lin Gantang. He asked Yi Qian to wait there and call him when he saw Lin Gantang.

Yi Qian, who was about to get off work, was a little nervous when he saw the CEO’s expression. What’s more, he was leaving in a hurry. Yi Qian felt that something might have happened and immediately agreed.

Lin Gantang was not in the bookstore. Wen Yanqing made a trip home, but the house was empty. With knitted brows, he called the Lin family and Lin Zhaonan at the company, but they all said they hadn’t seen her.

“Could she have gone to a friend’s place?” Lin Zhaonan asked.

Wen Yanqing felt an inexplicable sense of unease. He continued to call Lin Gantang’s phone. This time, the call was suddenly picked up. “Hello?”

Wen Yanqing’s heart skipped a beat. However, he did not recognize this female voice. “You are…?”

“I was just passing by. This is the phone I picked up. Are you the owner of the phone?”

“May I ask where you got the phone?”

“Following Hexing Road and turn onto a tree-lined road. It’s in a pile of tall grass.”

When Wen Yanqing rushed over, the young lady who had picked up the phone returned it. Wen Yanqing thanked her and looked at the surroundings with a frown.

Wen Yanqing had a bad feeling and immediately contacted Superintendent Chen Tian.

Sure enough, when he met Chen Tian at the police station, he received a call from an unknown number.

“Wen Yanqing, Lin Gantang is in my hands. If you want her to live, be good and listen to me.”

Zhou Manbai said arrogantly to Wen Yanqing.

Wen Yanqing recognized Zhou Manbai’s voice. His face was as dark as thunder. He turned on the speaker under Chen Tian’s gaze. “What are you trying to do?”

“I have a lot to do. Don’t even think about calling the police, or I’ll kill the hostage,” Zhou Manbai said coldly.

Chen Tian made a gesture, and the police officers around him made a move..
