Summer Kiss

Chapter 165 No clue
Xu Yansheng had other things to do, so he politely declined, saying, "Fu Xicheng needs to see me. I'll make it up to you with a birthday present another day. I really don't have time to go to your house today."

Lin Yuecheng didn't believe him at all. Why did Fu Xicheng always ask him for something? He always used Fu Xicheng as an excuse.

"Xu Yansheng, you can't leave."

Xu Yansheng pushed Lin Yuecheng away, his tone becoming serious, "There really is something wrong, Miss Lin, please don't be so unreasonable."

She never made a fuss; that was a sign of her love for him.

Xu Yansheng left, and Lin Yuecheng stomped her foot in anger. She had planned to confess her feelings to him today, which was her birthday, but now all her hopes were dashed.

She was unwilling to give up and immediately called Fu Xicheng.

"Mr. Fu, this is Lin Yuecheng. Do you have something urgent to discuss with Xu Yansheng? Could you lend me his services for one day, just today?"

Fu Xicheng was extremely anxious after Jiang Yuning was arrested; he didn't have time to beat around the bush with Lin Yuecheng.

“Miss Lin, I do have something to discuss with Xu Yansheng.”

Lin Yuecheng lowered her head. Only she knew how much effort she had put into preparing for tonight's birthday party.

Is it really impossible for Xu Yansheng to come?

She said with a hint of complaint, "Can't you find someone else? Why do you have Xu Yansheng doing things for you every day?"

Fu Xicheng's tone instantly turned cold, "Miss Lin, Xu Yansheng has his own ideas, and you can't stop him from doing what he wants."

"But Mr. Fu, tonight, please let me have him, okay?"

"No."

Fu Xicheng didn't listen to Lin Yuecheng's words; he hung up the phone immediately.

Lin Yuecheng looked down at the disconnected phone, and anger instantly flared up in her heart.

Fu Xicheng said he would help her, but he didn't seem to make any progress between her and Xu Yansheng at all.

If that's the case, why does she still need to take care of his girlfriend?
She immediately called the company's design department.

...

When Xu Yansheng arrived at the villa, Fu Xicheng was still checking the surveillance footage along the way.

But the man just vanished without a trace right under the surveillance cameras, which made Fu Xicheng even more anxious.

He was very worried that Jiang Yuning would get hurt.

He knew he needed to calm down and think things through at this point.

"Fu Xicheng, what exactly happened to Jiang Yuning? Who kidnapped her?"

Fu Xicheng handed Xu Yansheng a freshly printed color photo, which he had taken from the surveillance video.

"This is the person. He's wearing a mask, so you can't see his face at all."

Xu Yansheng had no recollection of this person either, and he placed the photo on the table.

"Did you call the police?"

Fu Xicheng shook his head. He wanted to call the police, but he was worried that the kidnapper was secretly monitoring them.

“If I call the police, he will choose to kill her. I can’t joke about Ningning’s safety.”

Xu Yansheng lowered his eyes and stared at the photo on the table. "Since he dared to ask you for 100 million in cash, you must have made an enemy of him. Think about who you have upset recently."

Fu Xicheng stroked his chin, twirling the pen in his hand as he pondered a problem.

"I have countless enemies, do you expect me to remember all of their names?"

Xu Yansheng asked again, "Have you made any enemies recently?"

After a moment's thought, Fu Xicheng couldn't think of anyone else besides Shijiu Group that he had recently targeted.

He had investigated the Shijiu Group, and Shi Zijing only had one daughter, Shijiu. Where exactly did things go wrong?
"Fu Xicheng, what are you thinking about?"

Fu Xicheng then spoke out what he had been thinking.

"I was just thinking about Shijiu Group. I recently dealt with that company."

Xu Yansheng had read the information about Shijiu Group, so he knew it very well.

"As far as I know, the president of Shijiu Group only has one daughter, Shijiu, and Shijiu was recently killed by someone sent by Fu Tian, ​​just to frame you."

Fu Xicheng nodded, indicating that the matter of Shijiu Group could be put aside for the time being.

The most important thing now is to find out who kidnapped Jiang Yuning.

"Let's put aside the matter of Shijiu Group for now and prepare the money just in case."

Xu Yansheng agreed. He had already contacted the presidents of various banks on his way here.

He said, "Fu Xicheng, I have already notified all the banks. Withdrawing so much money so suddenly, the bank staff will probably be overwhelmed."

Being too busy is a minor issue; the most important thing is whether there are 1 million in cash in the bank.

Fu Xicheng was thinking about where the kidnapper was hiding. He took out a map from the bookshelf and spread it on the table.

“There are many places in Kyoto where people can hide, so the people who kidnapped Ningning must have chosen a place in advance before kidnapping her.”

"Think about which desolate, dilapidated, and uninhabited places there are in Kyoto; this is very likely where he is hiding."

Furthermore, the search area can be narrowed down; it would be inconvenient for him to retrieve the money from a location that's too far away.

Xu Yansheng looked at the map spread out on the table and let out a deep breath.

Even if the search area is narrowed down, it's still difficult to find anything; he has absolutely no clue.

“Fu Xicheng, this is a very difficult matter. You said that if we had some ideas, we could follow a clue and investigate further, but right now we are completely in the dark, we have no clues at all, and we don’t know where to start.”

Fu Xicheng stood in front of the desk, his dark eyes gleaming, his slightly pale lips moving slightly.

"Send someone to check out the nearby dilapidated repair shops and unfinished buildings first. Even if it's like finding a needle in a haystack, it's better than just waiting around."

"I'll call Wen Shu now and have him take care of it."

……

When Jiang Yuning woke up, she found herself tied to a chair. She recalled the scene when she was kidnapped by Shi Jiu last time, which was exactly the same as today.

She observed her surroundings. Could there still be such a dilapidated place in Kyoto?

This is an abandoned warehouse, piled with old wooden crates and scattered miscellaneous items.

The only ray of light shone through the cracks in the broken windows in the distance, indicating that the place had been uninhabited for a long time.

She sniffed the air carefully and seemed to smell a fishy smell.

Just as she was pondering a solution, a heavy footstep came from afar, growing ever closer.

The door creaked open, and a figure stepped into the room.

The man was still wearing a black mask. He walked up to Jiang Yuning and tore off the tape over her mouth.

Jiang Yuning couldn't understand why the man wanted to kidnap her; she was certain this was their first meeting.

She voiced her question, "Sir, I have no grudge against you. You must have a reason for kidnapping me."

The man didn't want to reveal too much to her. A cold smile played on his lips. "My goal isn't you, but to use you to lure Fu Xicheng out."

Fu Xicheng?
Jiang Yuning wondered if the man in front of her was Fu Xicheng's enemy.

How come he has so many enemies?
