Lu Beichuan’s old friends weren’t as clean as they appear today. It wasn’t uncommon for people in the gray zone to associate with both sides. It was just that Lu Beichuan had been inflexibly following the rules in the past few years; he had completely stopped doing shady transactions.

  He had sent people to investigate Ye Zhenting’s matters and found out where Ye Zhenting had been gambling as well as the boss behind the loan sharks.

  Back then, he had friendly contact with that boss and that boss still owed him a favor. He had asked about Ye Zhenting’s matter too. Although he could solve the gambling debt for Ye Zhenting, it would be letting him off too easily if he did that.

  The phone next to him sharply sounded. Lu Beichuan glanced at his phone. It was a call from Ye Zhen. He answered the call without hesitation, but there was no sound on the other end.

  Lu Beichuan frowned. “Zhenzhen?”


  “It’s me,” Ye Zhen calmly said, “I’ve been kidnapped by my dad and the loan sharks……”


  Her voice abruptly cut off and was replaced by an utterly discomfited voice in the background.

  “How can you say this is kidnapping?!” Ye Zhenting loudly said, “Zhenzhen, Dad just wanted to see you. All of these people are my friends!”


  After saying that, Ye Zhenting said into the phone, “Beichuan ah, don’t listen to Zhenzhen’s nonsense. How can there be kidnapping between father and daughter? I’m just having coffee with Zhenzhen and chatting with her……”


  Lu Beichuan suddenly stood up and neatly said, “Location.”


  Ye Zhenting paused. He coughed a few times and reported the location. Soon after, he added, “Beichuan, as you know, I’ve been a bit tight with money recently. Umm, can you……”


  “I’ll help you resolve the loan sharks, but I don’t want to see the slightest harm to Zhenzhen.”


  Ye Zhenting grinned and prattled, “Oh you, those words are so silly. Zhenzhen is my daughter. What could I do to her? We’re just here drinking coffee and waiting for you to come. Don’t worry.”


  Lu Beichuan hung up the phone. He swiftly and decisively headed out. As he put on his coat, he had his assistant prepare a car. As he was waiting for the elevator to go down, he made a call. In a very cold tone, he asked, ” What? Have you guys gone off the deep end and kidnap people now?”


  Lu Beichuan’s eyes were gloomy. He was grinding his back teeth, and the muscles on his face were tense. It was obvious that he couldn’t be more displeased.

  “Your people kidnapped my wife. I hope that you can provide me with an accounting for their actions. In half an hour, I want to see my wife. I don’t want to see the slight harm to her.”


  Lu Beichuan ended the call and walked out.

  At the same time, Ye Zhenting put a cup of coffee in front of Ye Zhen.

  “Zhenzhen, don’t be angry. Dad hasn’t seen you in so long. I just want to have a good chat with you.”


  Ye Zhen coldly looked at him. “I wasn’t willing to give you money, so you waited in the company’s parking lot?”


  Ye Zhenting awkwardly smiled. “That’s just because I was worried you wouldn’t come see me.”


  The leader of the loan sharks got a call. He walked over to a corner to take the call. His expression turned ugly during the phone call. When he looked at Ye Zhenting and Ye Zhen, his expression changed several times. He had found out that Ye Zhenting had made a fool of him.
