After leaving the Longcha Bureau, Ye Longlin and his party returned to the Xia family residence.
It was past two o'clock when they arrived at the Xia family. They asked the kitchen to prepare food and then hastily finished lunch.
Xuan Niao also warned Jiang Hua and Shi Ji, asking them to keep this matter confidential. Few people knew about his arrival in Chang'an, and the small number of people who did know would remain silent.
"What's your situation with Tang Tianhao?"
After eating, Xia Mingzhong found Ye Longlin specifically to inquire about the matter.
As his maternal grandfather, he was naturally concerned about his grandson's situation, and Tang Tianhao was by no means a simple person.
Ye Longlin pondered for a moment, "Grandpa, please don't worry about this matter. It involves too much, and it will even affect Chang'an later. You should just focus on enjoying your old age. I will handle these things."
Xia Mingzhong sighed and said with a wry smile, "I'm old, old. I can't help at all. It seems I'm really not suited to handle these matters."
Ye Longlin heard the meaning behind his words, as if he was being kept in the dark about something. While it was true that he shouldn't be, this matter was indeed too complicated, and anyone involved could die.
Why should an old man get involved in such things when he's old? There's no need for it.
"Alright, I know what you mean. I won't get involved, I won't get involved."
"But I still need to remind you, the person behind Tang Tianhao is not simple. With the Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce behind him, it's very, very difficult to defeat him."
Ye Longlin nodded, "My target is the Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce."
Hearing this, the old man paused, his steps faltering, and he smiled helplessly, "As long as you know what you're doing, I won't get involved."
After sending the old man back, Ye Longlin saw Mu Hanqi sitting in the courtyard, seemingly deep in thought.
"What's wrong?"
He walked over and gently ruffled Mu Hanqi's hair.
Mu Hanqi nuzzled him and said what she was thinking, "Do you think we should have a family dinner tonight?"
"Look, my dad, Tian Ai are all here, and my third uncle has already met them. But Grandpa hasn't met them yet, so I was thinking if we should have a family dinner together. After all, we are all family, and it's only right to have a family dinner."
Ye Longlin stroked his chin and pondered. What she said was very true. After all, they were all one big family and should have a family dinner.
"Okay, I'll book a hotel later. I'll send you the menu afterwards, and you can pick what dishes you want."
He wouldn't say it was inappropriate.
What Mu Hanqi said was indeed reasonable. They had arrived in Chang'an this morning, and a family dinner tonight was very appropriate.
"Alright."
He didn't bother himself with such matters. He sent a message to Xuan Niao, asking her to handle it and find a high-class place suitable for a family dinner.
After Xuan Niao confirmed the booking, he then notified everyone one by one about the family dinner. Just as he was about to notify the old man, Ye Longlin suddenly received a call from his third uncle.
"Xiao Ye, your brother is missing, and the hospital's monitoring system has been destroyed!"
Ye Longlin said directly, "See you at the hospital."
"Wife, go inform Grandpa. I need to go out for a bit now."
"Okay!"
Ye Longlin drove directly to the hospital. When he arrived, Xia Qingxie was already waiting there.
"What's the situation?"
Xia Qingxie said anxiously, "I've already asked. When the nurse went in to change the dressing, the person was already gone. They organized nurses, doctors, and security guards, and searched the entire hospital, but they couldn't find Xiao Mo.
When they checked the surveillance, they found that the surveillance had been damaged, and then they notified me. Five minutes ago, an old man told me that someone had taken my Xiao Mo away and got into a van."
Ye Longlin frowned, then asked, "Where is Tang Hao?"
Xia Qingxie shook his head, "He was discharged from the hospital this morning!"
At this moment, Ye Longlin understood Tang Tianhao's arrangement for the day. Or rather, when he sent the old man over, he should have sent people to destroy the surveillance system, and when he was in the Longcha Bureau, he should have sent people to take the person away.
After checking the shift changes and ward rounds, Ye Longlin also realized that their timing coincided with the time after the ward rounds. Each ward round was an hour apart, and within this hour, there was ample time to take the person away!
The situation became clear immediately.
"Don't worry, this matter was most likely done by Tang Tianhao. He hasn't contacted us yet, so we won't do anything to him. Let's wait for him to contact us."
Ye Longlin lit a cigarette and said calmly.
After figuring this out, he was actually not in a hurry.
"Check it out, see where he went."
He then instructed.
Xuan Niao beside him nodded slightly.
But Xia Qingxie was still worried, after all, it was his son, and now he knew that Tang Tianhao had kidnapped his son. How could he not panic?
"Do you think he'll be okay? He's already so badly injured, what if they do something to him?"
He was still very worried.
Ye Longlin chuckled wryly, "Don't worry, Second Uncle. He'll be fine for now. He's safe until we get there."
To reassure him, Ye Longlin directly called Tang Tianhao, "Mr. Tang."
"I didn't expect you to get out so quickly. You really surprised me. I thought you'd be inside for at least a day or two. It seems my guess was right. Your playboy act was just a front to lower my guard. I have to say, your acting was very convincing."
Tang Tianhao chuckled. The Xia family didn't have the power to release him so quickly for such serious charges. Moreover, as far as he knew, there was a one-star general in the Longcha Bureau at that time, so even if Jiang Hua wanted to bend the law for personal gain, it wouldn't be easy.
"Mr. Tang's chain of schemes is truly brilliant. I'm impressed."
"However, it's a bit unethical. As the saying goes, one should not harm the family. If you act like this, then don't blame me. As far as I know, although Mr. Tang's methods are ruthless, he takes meticulous care of his comatose wife at home. You say, if she were in my hands now, what would Mr. Tang be feeling?"
Ye Longlin spoke slowly with a smile, as if he wasn't taking the matter seriously at all, just mentioning it casually.
Tang Tianhao's voice had already become low, "Ye Longlin! I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't know what happened, but I advise you, don't mess around!"
"Let's make a deal. I'll give you one hour to find my brother, otherwise your wife will be like your vehicle... Boom!"
