Chapter 115 Undercurrents
In the afternoon, Su Yunxi had work to attend to, and Chen Xuan drove back to the villa.
...
The Yu family.
The Yu father and son sat on the sofa, their faces grim.
Master Feng, with an arrogant expression, dressed in a spotless Feng Shui robe and with his hair neatly combed, sat opposite them, crossing his legs.
Yu Tiansheng glanced at Master Feng and said in a deep voice, "Master Feng, Su Qian is back. What should we do next?"
Yu Feiyang was still indignant about the previous incident and said, "Master Feng, it's all that brat Chen Xuan's fault. If he hadn't ruined everything, I would have already married into the Su family and won the beauty."
Master Feng cast a disdainful look at the Yu father and son. If these two weren't so incompetent, how could they not even accomplish such a small matter?
However, Master Feng didn't say anything.
"Master Feng, please think of a way," Yu Tiansheng urged when Master Feng remained silent.
Master Feng's eyes flashed with a cold light. "Su Qian is back, and we can't wait any longer. Otherwise, the truth will be revealed."
The Yu father and son looked at Master Feng in unison.
Master Feng said, "Find a way to go to Chen Xuan's home and abduct Chen Xuan's mother, Song Ping. Also, I need a strand of Chen Xuan's hair to perform a ritual."
"Remember, absolutely do not let Chen Xuan know about his mother's abduction, otherwise, the ritual I perform will not be effective!"
"After I finish the ritual, I will find a way to notify Chen Xuan. Then, we'll lure the tiger into its lair, and Chen Xuan will surely die!"
Yu Tiansheng frowned. "To get Song Ping without anyone noticing, it seems we need to find someone very familiar with the Chen family."
A spark of inspiration flashed in Yu Feiyang's mind. "The Li family! The Li family is bankrupt now. They are acquaintances with Chen Xuan's family, after all. With coercion and enticement, they will definitely agree."
Actually, the Li family was not the best choice, but Chen Xuan's reputation was at its peak now, and very few people in Jiangzhou dared to provoke Chen Xuan.
"Alright, Feiyang! Contact the Li family immediately, and make sure you find someone reliable," Yu Tiansheng said.
Yu Feiyang first had someone look up the Li family's phone numbers, then found the phone number of Li Jiajia's father.
In a building, Li Jiajia's mother, hands on her hips, was scolding:
"Look at you, you don't go out to work. Now the family can barely pay the mortgage, and you're still smoking. You only know how to smoke."
"You're such a waste. Now that the Li family is bankrupt, you can't even earn a dime. Look at that good-for-nothing you used to look down on. Now, with just one word, he made the Li family go bankrupt."
Li Yongqiang was a henpecked coward to begin with, and now that the Li family was bankrupt, he had even less status.
Li Yongqiang couldn't take it anymore. His expression suddenly turned grim, and he stood up abruptly, glaring angrily at Li Jiajia's mother.
Li Jiajia's mother was startled at first, then quickly regained her composure. "What, you're going to hit me?"
Li Yongqiang, after being glared at by Li Jiajia's mother, shrunk his neck, sat back down on the sofa, and gritted his teeth, "It's all that good-for-nothing Chen Xuan's fault!"
Suddenly, Li Yongqiang received an unknown call. He answered it impatiently and, unable to vent his frustration, yelled into the phone, "I can't afford any insurance, old man! I have no money!"
"Mr. Li, I am Yu Feiyang from the Yu family."
"Young Master Yu?"
Li Yongqiang was stunned for a moment, showing a hint of surprise. He had initially thought it was a scam, but then he thought he had nothing to be scammed for, so he asked curiously, "Young Master Yu, what do you want with me?"
"You should know about my conflict with Chen Xuan. Help me with something, and I'll let you follow my Yu family in the future," Yu Feiyang said.
Li Yongqiang swallowed his saliva, feeling a bit excited, but then he thought about his own lack of ability and his expression dimmed. He asked in a low voice, "I don't know what I can do for you?"
"Find someone to abduct Chen Xuan's mother, Song Ping." Yu Feiyang said.
"Kidnap?" Li Yongqiang, the good-for-nothing, was startled and quickly shook his head, "This is something that could land me in jail. I can't do it."
"Can't do it?"
Yu Feiyang cursed him as a loser in his mind, but still said, "Heh, I'll give you twenty million cash to make a comeback. I remember you're good at engineering. I'll give you engineering contracts, with a total value of no less than two hundred million."
So much money?
Li Yongqiang swallowed his saliva, then glanced at Li Jiajia's mother's contemptuous gaze. He gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay! I'll agree to this."
"Remember, you absolutely cannot reveal anything about the Yu family. If it gets out, I guarantee your life will be more painful than death."
"Also, this matter must be done without anyone noticing. You must go to the Chen family villa yourself and find a way to abduct Song Ping to a secret location. I'll send you the location of the Chen family villa later. Call me after it's done."
Yu Feiyang hung up the phone.
Li Yongqiang felt very uneasy. Kidnapping was a crime, after all, but he also felt it was a rare opportunity. His mind was in a mess.
Soon, Li Yongqiang received two text messages.
One was the location of Chen Xuan's villa, and the other was a bank transfer notification.
Looking at the string of zeros on the text message that made his eyes blur, Li Yongqiang felt like he was about to faint. At this moment, all his unease was swallowed by greed.
Kidnapping is kidnapping, but it's better than being a good-for-nothing and dying of poverty!
Li Yongqiang stood up and walked outside.
"Where are you going again? Didn't you see the house hasn't been tidied up?" Li Jiajia's mother scolded.
"To kidnap someone!" Li Yongqiang shouted.
Li Jiajia's mother was stunned, then contemptuously cursed, "Pfft, you good-for-nothing dare to kidnap someone? I'll change my surname."
But Li Yongqiang had already walked away.
...
In the evening, Chen Xuan received a call from Black Tiger. Coincidentally, Su Yunxi had come to see Song Ping. Chen Xuan knew this was important, so he asked Su Yunxi to accompany Song Ping first, and he would return soon.
Su Yunxi was not a petty woman. She immediately told Chen Xuan to go handle his business.
"I'll be back as soon as I finish," Chen Xuan said, and then drove out.
Su Yunxi went to the villa to chat with Song Ping, showing no airs of a proud young lady.
Aunt Tang looked at Su Yunxi's face, which would make other women jealous, and was immediately surprised. This was the girlfriend Chen Xuan had found?
And she was a rich and beautiful woman!
This kid Chen Xuan was really something, truly promising!
Knock, knock, knock!
Soon, there was a knock on the door.
Aunt Tang got up to open the door. When she opened it, she was stunned. "Why are you here?"
Li Yongqiang stood at the door, carrying large bags and looking all smiles.
He grinned, "I came to see Xiao Ping."
...
At this time, Chen Xuan was driving to a clubhouse in the development zone to meet an outsider businessman.
To be honest, Chen Xuan was also curious what kind of person needed an alchemist.
Chen Xuan drove to the Fuyuan Clubhouse in the development zone. Black Tiger was already waiting respectfully at the entrance, with several of Black Tiger's subordinates standing beside him, lined up and exuding a strong aura.
As Chen Xuan got out of the car, Black Tiger's subordinates saluted in unison, "Hello, Mr. Chen!"
Their voices were loud and their bearing was imposing!
This drew the attention of other guests who were coming to the clubhouse, making them wonder who this young man in street clothes was.
