Chapter 1627: Mengyan Is in Trouble
As the Jiangyan Group was a big company, this incident did not stir up any storms. Liu Zhenan’s concern for old employees had earned old man Liu Jiangyan’s recognition, but after all, it was only one trivial matter. Over the next few days, the effect of this matter had dampened a lot, and the Jiangyan Group’s work continued as usual. Most people had gradually forgotten about this matter.
At this moment, Yang Ming also needed to start his journey back. He had lived in the Butterfly Family for nearly a month. Although the elders had pressured him to do so due to his engagement with Wang Xiaoyan, Yang Ming was also willing to do so. The newly married couple made some time to visit nearby interesting places. It was considered as their honeymoon.
Old Buffon also had his affairs. Before Yang Ming departed, he also bid farewell to the Butterfly Family. However, the friendship between the Buffon Family and the Butterfly Family was considered indestructible.
The negative effects brought about by the Lancer Family had all disappeared. The entire European upper society seemed to have forgotten the Lancer Family’s existence. But this was not surprising. Who would mention a collapsed family out of the blue and offend the two powerful families?
They knew that neither the Buffon Family nor the current Butterfly Family were easy to mess with.
……
“Even after coming back, I can still vividly remember the incidents that happened during the past month. I didn’t expect that it would be so dangerous.” Yang Ming looked out of the window and saw a clearly visible matchbox-sized building through the thin mist. He lamented, “The Lancer Family was really wronged by the grudge that formed!”
“It should be said that their death is wronged!” Wang Xiaoyan smiled, “Why? If you knew it was so dangerous, you wouldn’t come?”
“To be honest, if I knew it was so troublesome, I really wouldn’t come…” Yang Ming sighed.
“You—” Wang Xiaoyan heard Yang Ming’s heartless words and was mad suddenly. She stared at him, but when she saw Yang Ming grinning there, she realized that she was tricked by Yang Ming.
“However, that would be because I didn’t know that I was engaged to you. If I knew I was engaged to you, I would still go even if it was an extremely dangerous place!” Yang Ming turned the thread of discussion and said with a laugh.
“You’re pretty good at talking!” Wang Xiaoyan made a hmph sound and revealed an indescribable expression of shyness on her face. Then, her expression turned gloomy again, “If it is possible, I would like to stay in Europe and not return. But, after all, we still have to face reality… ”
“This…” Yang Ming naturally knew what Wang Xiaoyan was referring to. He helplessly smiled bitterly, “Relax. After I go back, I will find an opportunity to talk to Mengyan and the others to tell them about it.”
“There’s no need.” Wang Xiaoyan shook her head, “I don’t know if I can still get along with them. If they try to crowd me out, I might get angry and do something that you will regret. Then what can we do? ”
“This…” Yang Ming looked at Wang Xiaoyan bewildered. What Wang Xiaoyan said really frightened Yang Ming. It was easy for Wang Xiaoyan to kill Chen Mengyan and the others with her methods!
“Look at how scared you are!” Wang Xiaoyan smiled sweetly, ” I am just joking with you. Even if I really can’t get along with them, I can only endure it. How can I really kill them?”
Yang Ming was suddenly relieved after he heard Wang Xiaoyan’s words. However, her expression still looked somewhat bitter, “It must be really hard for you…”
“Forget it, it’s nothing. Anyway, you live next door to me. Just climb over to my house at night to see me frequently, and I won’t think of anything else.” Wang Xiaoyan smiled, “Does this sound doable?”
Yang Ming nodded and didn’t say anything else. He wanted to agree with Wang Xiaoyan, but he was just embarrassed to say it.
Fang Tian and Wang Ruoshui had also come back with Yang Ming. The four of them got off the plane in a low-key manner and exited the airport. Hou Zhenhan had been waiting here for a long time. After he took the luggage from the hands of Yang Ming and the others, they rode on the Buick commercial vehicle in the parking lot.
Yang Ming had only informed Hou Zhenhan about his return this time. Although Bao Sanli was also a credible person, Hou Zhenhan was comparatively more prudent and careful with his words. Yang Ming did not want others to know too much as this matter involved Wang Xiaoyan and Fang Tian.
Hou Zhenhan was not a talkative person. After nodding to the people around Yang Ming, he just turned a deaf ear as if they didn’t exist. This made Yang Ming very satisfied.
He first dropped Fang Tian and Wang Ruoshui at the newly purchased villa in the development zone’s villa area, and then dropped Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan to Huashang District. Hou Zhenhan was somewhat surprised to see that Wang Xiaoyan actually lived in the villa beside Yang Ming’s, but he didn’t question.
Generally, Bao Sanli would pick-up and drop-off Yang Ming’s, but Yang Ming had personally asked Hou Zhenhan to do it this time. Hou Zhenhan also vaguely understood the reasons. Although Yang Ming also trusted Bao Sanli now, perhaps Yang Ming didn’t want others to know about the people who came back with him this time So Yang Ming only called Hou Zhenhan to come over.
Hou Zhenhan was one of Yang Ming’s earliest henchmen. He could be absolutely trusted. This was also why Yang Ming called him, but Hou Zhenhan was very excited when he thought about it. It seemed that Brother Yang still trusted him the most!
Originally, Yang Ming would usually ask Bao Sanli to deal with everything. Although Hou Zhenhan didn’t say anything, he felt a little disappointed in his heart, thinking that Yang Ming relied more on Bao Sanli than him.
However, based on today’s incident, Yang Ming didn’t seem to think so. Instead, it seemed Yang Ming kept him in charge of the overall situation of the company and did not bother him with trivial matters. Yang Ming would only ask for him when he had no choice.
“Go back and sleep well. Get over the jet lag, and I’ll see you at school.” Yang Ming did not get off, but waved to Wang Xiaoyan. Although it was daytime and Chen Mengyan and the others should be in their university classes, there was always the chance of something unexpected. It would be difficult to explain if Chen Mengyan saw Yang Ming sending off Wang Xiaoyan personally.
Wang Xiaoyan nodded, and quickly entered her villa like a thief. After waving at Yang Ming, she turned and closed the door.
“Don’t leak today’s incident,” Yang Ming closed the door and said to the driving Hou Zhenhan.
“Relax, Brother Yang. Even special means such as hypnosis will be useless to make us, the special force, speak things that we do not wish to,” Hou Zhenhan smiled and agreed, “Brother Yang, aren’t you going home?”
“At this time, Mengyan and the others should be in school. Let me make a call first,” Yang Ming took out his cell phone and dialed Chen Mengyan’s number as he was saying this.
Yang Ming couldn’t wait and said, “Mengyan, where are you?”
“Sorry, the number you dialed is off or is not in the service area. Please dial again later …”
Yang Ming was stunned for a moment. Chen Mengyan actually switched off her phone? Normally, Chen Mengyan will never turn off her phone. Even in school, she will only switch it to vibration mode. Could it be that she has an exam?
Thinking of this, Yang Ming didn’t care much and dialed Lin Zhiyun’s phone instead. This time, it connected. The phone rang twice before it was answered.
“Yang Ming?” Lin Zhiyun’s hesitant voice came from the phone.
“Zhiyun, it’s me. Where are you?” Yang Ming heard Lin Zhiyun’s voice and felt a little relieved. If Lin Zhiyun had also switched off her phone, things would be a little unusual.
“Yang Ming, it’s you indeed!” Lin Zhiyun’s surprised voice came from the phone, “Are you back?”
“I just got off the plane, and I’m right at the door of our house. Aren’t Mengyan and the others with you?” Yang Ming asked with a smile.
“Yang Ming, Jiajia and I are at Sister Mengyan’s house now. Sister Mengyan is in trouble!” Lin Zhiyun’s voice tensed after she recovered from her surprise, “Come over now!”
“What? What happened to Mengyan? What happened?” Yang Ming was shocked in his heart. When he was about to leave Europe the day before yesterday, Yang Ming even had a video call with Chen Mengyan and the others. It had just been two days and Chen Mengyan was in trouble already?
“Sister Mengyan was kidnapped! Yang Ming, come here quickly. I’m very anxious now!” Lin Zhiyun’s voice was almost crying.
“Kidnapped? Then you guys wait for me. I will come now,” Yang Ming suddenly frowned. Chen Mengyan was kidnapped? What is going on?
Chapter 1628: The Other Party is Very Arrogant
Many things couldn’t be said clearly over the phone, so Yang Ming didn’t ask for details. He hung up the phone and directly commanded Hou Zhenhan, “Go to Mengyan’s house.”
“Brother Yang, I was listening to the phone call. Did, you say that Sister-in-law Mengyan was kidnapped? What happened? Shall I ask my brothers to investigate it?” Hou Zhenhan also heard most of the things from Yang Ming’s call. He also knew that Chen Mengyan was kidnapped.
“Not at the moment. Wait until I go and understand the situation clearly, then we’ll see,” Yang Ming waved his hand, “Mengyan’s father is the chief of the police bureau. They are naturally more informed than us, so it’s better to wait for me to figure out what is going on first.”
Hou Zhenhan nodded and said nothing further.
Chen Mengyan was kidnapped? What is going on? Before I left, I sent Victoria to Chen Mengyan’s side. With Victoria’s skill, someone could actually kidnap Chen Mengyan in front of her? Or they kidnapped Chen Mengyan when Victoria was not ready?
However, the truth could only be known after going to Chen Mengyan’s house and meeting with Lin Zhiyun, Zhou Jiajia, and the others.
After hearing about Chen Mengyan’s accident, Hou Zhenhan also consciously sped up the car and ran a few red lights on the road. However, this car belonged to the newly established escort company. Although it had a civilian license, it was painted like a police car. Therefore, nobody stopped them.
Hou Zhenhan parked the car directly downstairs from Chen Mengyan’s home. However, Yang Ming unexpectedly found that many police cars had already been parked here. Although this was the police chief’s home, so many cars parked in the yard during the day signaled that something unusual had happened.
Hou Zhenhan parked the car, then he spoke to Yang Ming, “Brother Yang, should I go up with you, or should I wait for you here?”
“Let’s go up together. You know everyone anyway,” Yang Ming thought about it and said.
Hou Zhenhan nodded, locked the car, and followed Yang Ming into Chen Mengyan’s apartment building. After arriving at the floor where Chen Mengyan’s apartment was located, Yang Ming unexpectedly discovered that the apartment’s door was open at the moment. Two policemen who stood at the door saw Yang Ming attempting to enter. They were momentarily stunned and asked, “Who are you looking for?”
However, the policeman immediately saw Hou Zhenhan behind Yang Ming and quickly said, “President Hou, why are you here?”
“This is Chief Chen’s son-in-law, Mengyan’s boyfriend.” Hou Zhenhan smiled and introduced Yang Ming.
Hou Zhenhan and Bao Sanli often appeared in the police station, so nearly everyone in the police station knew him. But Yang Ming was relatively unknown. Only the people in the Criminal Investigation Team knew him, and these two police had obviously not seen Yang Ming before.
“Oh? So he’s Yang Ming. Please come in!” These two people had apparently heard about Yang Ming, but they hadn’t seen him in person. When they heard it was him, they quickly made way to let Yang Ming enter the house.
“Is Uncle Chen in?” Yang Ming was nervous about Chen Mengyan’s safety. He wasn’t in the mood for small talk with these two, so he asked directly instead.
“Chief Chen is monitoring the situation in the bureau and can’t come over, but the Criminal Investigation Team’s Deputy Captain Xia is inside. Chief Chen’s wife is also in there,” The policeman answered hastily.
Yang Ming nodded and walked into the living room quickly. He saw Mother Chen, Xia Xue, Lin Zhiyun, Zhou Jiajia, and several policemen sitting anxiously on the sofa beside the phone, seemingly waiting for something.
“Aunty Chen, how is Mengyan? What’s going on?” Yang Ming sat on the sofa opposite Mother Chen and asked hurriedly.
“Yang Ming, you’re here,” Mother Chen forced a smile when she saw Yang Ming coming over, but she still carried a worried and helpless look, “Little Yan was kidnapped…”
“Kidnapped,” Yang Ming glanced around the living room, but did not see Victoria, so he looked at Lin Zhiyun and Zhou Jiajia, “Where’s Chen Mengxi?”
“She and Sister Mengyan were captured together by the kidnapper…” Lin Zhiyun whispered.
Come to think of it, Mother Chen and Xia Xue probably knew very well about Lin Zhiyun and Zhou Jiajia’s identity. However, everyone else regarded them as Chen Mengyan’s good friends without much thought.
“Aunty Chen, what actually happened? Why kidnap Mengyan and Mengxi?” When Yang Ming heard that Victoria was also kidnapped, he felt a sudden rush in his heart.
Yang Ming was very clear about Victoria’s skill. Although she was not as powerful as Wang Xiaoyan, she was certainly close. The other party could capture her and Chen Mengyan together. The other party probably had many experts. Even if they were not as skilled as Victoria, they had an absolute advantage in numbers.
Otherwise, Victoria probably could not compete with the other party because they had a firearm.
“Let Xia Xue tell you about it.” Mother Chen’s eyes were sore, and she couldn’t help but cry, “It’s all my Old Chen’s fault. Why must he be the chief? Why not others? He takes the role and provokes some big drug lord. Look at this now, my daughter has been held hostage by others… ”
Big drug lord? Yang Ming had a cryptic guess as to whether Chen Mengyan’s abduction was related to the behind-the-scenes boss or Central that had formed hatred with him. After all, Chen Mengyan was kidnapped shortly after he provoked Central. It was too much of a coincidence, right?
However, he realized it was not possible when he thought about it carefully. Central came all this way to China just to kidnap a Chen Mengyan? They might as well make a move against the Butterfly Family directly. Yang Ming was relieved once he heard Mother Chen’s words. They confirmed that Chen Mengyan’s kidnappers had little to do with the behind-the-scenes boss or Central.
Drug lords’ existences were super horrifying in the eyes of ordinary people. However, in Yang Ming’s eyes, they were really nothing. Yang Ming had even destroyed a firearms family, the Lancer Family. Why would he be afraid of a drug dealer?
It was just that he had yet to figure out the actual cause behind the incident.
“Yang Ming, come with me. I want to ask you about some things alone.” Xia Xue also had some things to ask Yang Ming. Since Mother Chen had asked her to explain why Chen Mengyan was kidnapped to Yang Ming, Xia Xue immediately got up and asked Yang Ming to go into the back room to talk in detail.
Yang Ming nodded. He vaguely guessed that perhaps Xia Xue wanted to ask him about Chen Mengxi’s matter.
Xia Xue locked the door after entering the room with a serious look, “Yang Ming, nobody wants to see this happening. The most important thing now is to find a way to rescue Mengyan. As for the reason behind this matter, let’s leave it for now, okay? ”
Xia Xue’s words made Yang Ming a little puzzled. He originally thought that Xia Xue would question him about Chen Mengxi’s matter as soon as he entered the door, but he did not expect her to say such a thing.
“Xia Xue, you and I have known each other for a long time, and our relationship has always been good. What do you mean by these words that came out of nowhere?” Yang Ming was really baffled, “If you have anything to say, can’t you just say it directly? ”
“Actually, the reason why Mengyan was targeted by the drug lords is related to Captain Wang of the police bureau’s anti-drug team. he acted alone while disregarding others’ opinions,” Xia Xue sighed and said.
“Acted alone while disregarding others’ opinions? What do you mean?” Yang Ming frowned and asked.
“Captain Wang captured four Russian drug dealers this time and seized a considerable amount of heroin,” Xia Xue explained, “However, one of the drug dealers is Nicholas Shevich, the heir to Russia’s largest gang near our border, Blackhawk Gang. The other party’s people actually made a blatant phone call to pressure our Song Jiang police, asking us to release Nicholas Shevich, and not do something that we will regret. But how could Captain Wang be threatened by them? He simply rejected the other party’s proposal.
“Unexpectedly, Captain Wang’s actions angered the Blackhawk Gang. Therefore, the Blackhawk Gang announced that if their great young master was not released safely in three days, we would suffer the consequences…”
“Do you mean that Chen Mengyan’s abduction is related to the Blackhawk Gang?” Yang Ming frowned deeply after hearing Xia Xue’s words.
“Yes. Just this morning, the Blackhawk Gang sent us another fax that told us to release Nicholas Shevich. Otherwise, they would kill the hostage,” Xia Xue said, “So, I hope you will not be angry with Captain Wang. After all, he is also devoted to public interests… “
