Chapter 374: Old Jiang, You Actually Thought Of Me
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Mmm…” The woman moaned like a poor little kitty.
Jiang Jingchen chuckled. “You want to shower with me?”
“I’ve already showered.”
Jiang Jingchen knew that she had already showered when he saw her in pajamas. He waited for her to close her eyes before he pulled his hand away, but the woman immediately startled awake and looked at him anxiously.
“It’s okay. I’m here.”
“Obedient Beibei, I’m going to take a shower. I’ll leave the bathroom door open so you can see me.”
“Okay.”
Only then did she let go of his hand. Jiang Jingchen took his pajamas in with him and took a shower. The shower stall was covered in frosted glass so she couldn’t see him clearly. But seeing his moving shadow in the shower stall made Tang Beibei feel more at ease.
He dried his hair and came back to bed. He consciously gave his hand to her so she could hold it while he checked Ji Yi’s message on his phone with his other hand.
She held his hand and slowly closed her eyes.
The next day, Ruan Qi was in much better spirits at breakfast.
She asked about Song Zhou and Ji Yi replied, “We are certain that Song Zhou has been kidnapped. As for why, it could be because of money or a personal grudge. We still have to investigate the specifics.”
Ruan Qi was puzzled. “What personal grudge does Mi Qing have with Song Zhou?”
“It’s not Mi Qing. It’s Jack, Mi Qing’s boyfriend.”
Ruan Qi was surprised. “Didn’t Mi Qing break up with her boyfriend?”
“She lied.”
Ji Yi explained, “She just didn’t want Song Zhou to be with another woman. She even hired people to spy on Song Zhou for her.”
Ruan Qi was shocked. This Mi Qing was really too much. She saved Song Zhou’s life and got engaged to him as a result. Instead of treating Song Zhou well, she cheated on him and even kidnapped him.
Despicable!

“If we find Jack, will we be able to find Song Zhou?”
“Not necessarily.”
Jiang Jingchen said, “Jack took Song Zhou away. We don’t know if there’s anyone else behind it.”
Ji Yi’s expression was solemn. His men had not been able to find Jack.
If the mastermind was powerful enough to use Mi Qing to kidnap Song Zhou, then it wouldn’t just be about money. That person probably wanted to threaten Mr. Chen. Song Zhou’s life might even be in danger.
“What the hell is going on? Isn’t it just about Mi Qing refusing to call off her engagement to Song Zhou? What else can it be about?”
There were some things that Ji Yi couldn’t explain in detail, so he didn’t say more. Jiang Jingchen ended the conversation with, “They must be after something. Even if we don’t find them, they will contact us. Let’s keep investigating.”
After breakfast, Ji Yi continued with the investigation. Jiang Jingchen also called a few friends and asked them to help.
Soon, an unknown number contacted him.
It was a message saying that they wanted to help and then the same number sent him Jack’s location.
Jiang Jingchen sent the location to Ji Yi, who immediately went there. It was an ancient villa.
The villa looked neglected and messy. Ji Yi and his men went inside to find Jack and Song Zhou, but they heard the sound of a car outside.
Jack was very vigilant. He realized the danger and drove away with Song Zhou.
” Sh*t!”
Ji Yi kicked the wall in anger!
He jumped out of the window and got into the car to chase after them. But the driver was very familiar with this place. After a few turns, the car disappeared from view.
Ji Yi updated Jiang Jingchen about the misstep. Jiang Jingchen didn’t blame him. Instead, he analyzed the situation with Ji Yi, “The kidnapper hid in a villa area and has strong anti-surveillance capabilities. But he’s acting alone, so he won’t be able to hold on for long.”
Ji Yi felt guilty. “It’s my fault. I failed to rescue Song Zhou.”
“The kidnapper took precautions or installed surveillance cameras. It’s understandable that you didn’t expect it. We can talk about it after we find Song Zhou.”
Jiang Jingchen was never harsh to his subordinates, provided that they didn’t make stupid mistakes.
Jiang Jingchen received another message from the unknown number. It was GPS tracking of Jack’s whereabouts. Ji Yi was puzzled. “Mr. Chen, who is helping us?”
“I don’t know. If he’s willing to help me, he’ll definitely appear after the matter is over.”
They watched the live GPS tracking. The dot representing Jack was going around them and heading to their hotel. After that, the dot stopped by the roadside and stayed there.
Jiang Jingchen asked Ji Yi to speed up and go find them.
When they arrived at Jack’s location, they saw the car, but no one was inside.
Ji Yi was furious. “He got away again. This kid is quite smart.”
Jiang Jingchen saw that there were no signs of struggle inside the car. If Jack had Song Zhou with him, he wouldn’t be able to move around easily.
At this moment, Jiang Jingchen’s cell phone rang.
It was Tang Beibei.
He felt his heart in his throat; he had a bad feeling.
His little wife was sensible. Although she was worried about him, she would never call him when he was busy for fear of disturbing him.
He answered the call as he walked back to their car.
“Hubby, hubby, I can’t find Ruan Qi. She’s missing.”
The woman’s voice sounded like she was about to cry.
Jiang Jingchen tried his best to calm his tone. “Obedient Beibei, don’t go anywhere. Go back to the hotel room and I’ll find you. Trust me.”
He quickened his pace and ran back to the hotel. When he got back to his room and saw that Tang Beibei was unharmed, he heaved a sigh of relief.
He walked up to her and pulled her into his arms. “Don’t worry. Tell me what happened.”
Tang Beibei said, “Qiqi received a call and said that she wanted to go out for some fresh air. I went downstairs with her when she suddenly said that she was feeling a little cold and asked me to help her get her coat upstairs. When I got her coat and went downstairs, she was gone.”
“Did she take her phone with her?”
“Yes.”
“Do you know who called her?”
“I don’t know.”
Jiang Jingchen patted her back and comforted her for a while. He then asked Ji Yi to check Ruan Qi’s phone records.
Ji Yi checked and saw Song Zhou’s number.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“… It can’t be Song Zhou, right?”
Ji Yi frowned. “Song Zhou called Ruan Qi but didn’t contact us. Could he have betrayed us?”
Jiang Jingchen glanced at him. Ji Yi realized that he had said something wrong and quickly lowered his head.
Song Zhou betrayed him?
No way Jose!
“Call Song Zhou from an unknown number and see if you can get through.”
Ji Yi immediately went to buy a SIM card, but he could not get through to Song Zhou. He tried to contact Ruan Qi, but her phone was also switched off.
Jiang Jingchen massaged his forehead. They were no closer to finding Song Zhou and Ruan Qi had gone missing, but John called and said that Mi Qing had escaped.
Jiang Jingchen frowned and dialed a number.
Half an hour later, there was a knock on his room door.
As soon as Ji Yi opened the door, a handsome man walked in.
The man had sharp facial features and blue eyes. He was holding a pair of glasses and was wearing a parka with jeans and sneakers. He looked very casual.
“My, my, Old Jiang, you actually thought of me. Are you in some kind of trouble?”
The man teased when he opened his mouth. When he called Jiang Jingchen “Old Jiang”, Tang Beibei looked at him in surprise.
Her husband did not like people calling him old.
Who was this man?
“My assistant has been kidnapped.”
The man gave him a strange look. “Your assistant with the fox eyes, Song Zhou? Tsk, what kind of demon is he up against?”
“His fiancee.”
“Oh…”
The man chuckled meaningfully before he continued, “I’ve already warned Song Zhou that that woman is not a good person, but he wouldn’t listen. Sigh, now he’s in trouble. But isn’t she just after Song Zhou’s money? What did she kidnap Song Zhou?”
The man noticed the woman next to Jiang Jingchen. Seeing that the two of them were sitting so close together, he raised his eyebrows.
“Who is this cute girl here? Is she your sister? But you are not close to the Jiang family. You shouldn’t have such a young sister.”
Jiang Jingchen turned his head to look at his wife and put his arm around her shoulders. “She’s a sister, but not a biological one.”
“Not by blood.”
The man raised his eyebrows and smiled. He sat in front of Tang Beibei and introduced himself, “Hello, little girl. I’m Han Yun, Old Jiang’s friend..”
