Yu Botao hadn't even had time to examine the video footage closely before Yu Lingxiao smashed the computer screen with a single blow.
Immediately after, he heard Yu Lingxiao's roar.
"Chen Jinzhao again? This scoundrel is relentless!"
"What about Zhu Ziqian? What's his current situation? Did he win or lose?" Yu Botao was focused on these questions.
Yu Zhengzhi said with a grim expression, "It seems Zhu Ziqian lost. And according to the surveillance footage, Zhu Ziqian was then secretly taken away by Chen Jinzhao's people. We don't know where he was taken?"
Yu Lingxiao took several deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down.
"Investigate!"
"Call Zhou Linghui and have him find out the origin of that car, and then find out where Chen Jinzhao took Zhu Ziqian!"
Yu Botao acknowledged with a hum and immediately called Zhou Linghui without delay.
The Yu family and Zhou Linghui were now in an alliance, sharing fortunes and misfortunes. Upon hearing Yu Botao's words, Zhou Linghui also became anxious and immediately agreed to investigate the car's information.
A short while later.
Zhou Linghui called back. Yu Botao thought there had been some progress, but unexpectedly, Zhou Linghui said with a displeased expression, "That was a car with fake plates. It recently left Ninghai City, and its destination seemed to be Jiangning City, which is beyond my jurisdiction."
Yu Lingxiao took the phone. "Xiao Zhou, can you issue an arrest warrant for Chen Jinzhao? He trespassed and assaulted someone, and is suspected of kidnapping. If we can get rid of Chen Jinzhao, I think there's still hope."
This time, Zhou Linghui did not immediately intervene.
"What, is there a problem?" Yu Lingxiao's heart sank.
Zhou Linghui did not hide anything, stating frankly, "Yes, Grandpa, you should know that lately, Wang Zhenliang, for some unknown reason, seems to have aspirations of rising. In short, I can't command him now, and neither can that granddaughter from Old Master Tao's family. They are both ruthless individuals in our city. Unless you contact that person at the provincial level."
Yu Lingxiao sensed the helplessness in Zhou Linghui's tone and suppressed his anger, not erupting.
"Fine."
"But you still need to try your best. Otherwise, the Yu family might face utter destruction." Yu Lingxiao hung up the phone, making Zhou Linghui's heart tighten. Had the situation become this urgent?
Yu Botao and Yu Zhengzhi were furious, and the two brothers simultaneously complained to Yu Lingxiao.
The Yu family had gone to great lengths to cultivate Zhou Linghui to his current position, and now he couldn't even help with such a small favor. What was the use of keeping him?
"Hmph, why not replace him?"
"If he's incapable, what's the point of keeping him? It's a waste of our resources. It's better to cultivate someone capable who can help us," said Yu Zhengzhi, receiving Yu Botao's agreement.
Yu Lingxiao waved his hand.
The immediate priority was to resolve this crisis. Did they really have to contact that person at the provincial level?
That person was not Qin Fengwu, but a significant figure closely related to the Yu family, ranking among the top five in Jiangnan Province. However, he was already advanced in age and would find it difficult to climb further.
Troubling him now might be inappropriate.
Yu Zhengzhi also suggested contacting Qin Fengwu, believing that the Qin family's young master could quickly resolve the issue.
But this suggestion was also rejected by Yu Lingxiao.
Based on his experience dealing with these people, Qin Fengwu would undoubtedly demand a hefty price, inserting his confidants into the Yu Group to extract enormous profits for the Qin family.
After pacing around the room, Yu Lingxiao had no choice but to contact the person at the provincial level.
The call ended quickly, but the result was not optimistic.
The person at the provincial level also dared not rashly intervene. He did not immediately agree but promised to mediate for Yu Lingxiao. If the situation became too serious, he could not guarantee he could suppress it for Yu Lingxiao.
Yu Botao and Yu Zhengzhi were overjoyed, but Yu Lingxiao immediately poured cold water on them.
"This old fox means that if the matter is minor, he can help us resolve it, but if it escalates, he will definitely not help us," Yu Lingxiao said with a grim expression.
"Ah? Then what should we do?" Yu Botao was starting to panic.
Yu Lingxiao took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and then said coldly, "Relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself. The only person who knows Zhu Ziqian's whereabouts now is Chen Jinzhao. We need to find out if he has any evidence against us."
"Bring me the phone."
"I'll call him myself."
On the other side.
The phone on Chen Jinzhao's desk rang. He glanced at it and couldn't help but smile. The Yu family had finally lost their composure.
He'd let it ring for a while.
He didn't answer the first or second call, only picking up the third call at a leisurely pace. Yu Lingxiao on the other end of the line remained silent with a cold expression.
Chen Jinzhao smiled and said, "If you're not going to speak, shall I hang up?"
Yu Lingxiao had never imagined that he would one day have to bow to Chen Jinzhao, a security guard. What a ridiculous thing this was.
"Wait."
"I have something to ask you."
Chen Jinzhao smiled, waiting for Yu Lingxiao to continue.
Yu Lingxiao, unable to hold back any longer, asked directly, "I don't want to waste words with you. I just want to ask what you've done with Zhu Ziqian?"
"Oh, so you're very familiar with that person," Chen Jinzhao teased.
"I haven't done anything to him. I've merely transferred him to a very safe place to prevent him from being silenced."
Yu Lingxiao's heart tightened.
Connecting Chen Jinzhao's words and tone, it was quite indicative – Chen Jinzhao likely possessed damning evidence.
However.
He needed to confirm it further.
"What did Zhu Ziqian say?" Yu Lingxiao asked.
Chen Jinzhao said meaningfully, "I don't remember what Zhu Ziqian said, but he left me a notebook. I haven't had time to read what's inside yet. If you're interested, I can show it to you."
Yu Lingxiao was shocked. Although Chen Jinzhao hadn't explicitly stated it, he could tell that Chen Jinzhao already had the evidence.
Damn it!
How could Zhu Ziqian be so useless?
He took another deep breath and inquired, "I am indeed very interested in that notebook and would like to buy it back for safekeeping. Name your price."
"Ten billion, or a hundred billion?"
Yu Lingxiao was willing to go all out, wanting to repurchase the notebook at a high price.
Chen Jinzhao made no immediate reply. He simply said indifferently, "We'll talk about it later. It's getting late today, and I need to rest. Old Master Yu, you're getting old too, it's time you rested."
*Click!*
Chen Jinzhao hung up the phone himself.
Yu Lingxiao's hands trembled slightly with anger, causing the two standing beside him to dare not move.
"Hahaha..."
Yu Lingxiao let out a bitter laugh.
Chen Jinzhao's suggestion to rest probably meant resting in prison! But how could the proud Yu Lingxiao be willing to be imprisoned and become a prisoner?
Better to stand and die than live on his knees!
