CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

"Brother Qilin, don't worry, I will tell Dad about this. I believe he can take appropriate measures to deal with Zhao Ruilong."

Gao Qilin nodded gratefully. "Thank you, Xiao Ai. I know you've always cared about me."

"Don't mention it." Zhong Xiaoai's expression was firm. "For the safety of my family, I will do my best to help you."

Through the phone, Gao Qilin could almost feel the courage and determination emanating from Zhong Xiaoai.

He suddenly realized that in this time of crisis, there were other people he could rely on besides himself.

“Okay.” Gao Qilin took a deep breath. “Before telling your father, we need to make sure this doesn’t get out.”

“Zhao Ruilong is a treacherous guy. His father has a lot of connections and resources. We must be careful.”

“I understand.” Zhong Xiaoai nodded. “I will tell my father the whole story as soon as possible and ask him to keep it a secret.”

Gao Qilin thanked him gratefully. "Thank you, Xiao Ai. I believe you can handle this."

Zhong Xiaoai smiled and said on the other end of the phone, "Brother Qilin, we are family, it is only right that we help each other."

Gao Qilin breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm sorry for making you worry about these troubles."

“Don’t say such things,” Zhong Xiaoai said firmly. “I will definitely make him pay the price he deserves.”

“Thank you, Xiao Ai.” Gao Qilin expressed his boundless gratitude to her once again.

The two discussed some other details on the phone before hanging up. Gao Qilin anxiously dialed Meng Yu's number, hoping she could offer some help.

His fingers trembled slightly, and his heart raced; he was terrified that he might not be able to convey this urgent message properly.

A clear and firm voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, who is this?"

"Meng Yu, it's me, Gao Qilin." Gao Qilin tried to keep his voice steady. "I have something very urgent to tell you."

"Qilin?" Upon hearing that familiar voice, Meng Yu's mouth dropped open in surprise. "Why are you calling me? What's wrong (Nuonuo Zhao)?"

"It's about my daughter Gao Yue being kidnapped," Gao Qilin said solemnly. "Zhao Ruilong kidnapped her."

Upon hearing this news, Meng Yu trembled and spoke angrily.

"What?! Zhao Ruilong actually dared to kidnap an innocent child! This matter cannot be left like this! I must expose this to the public and make Zhao Ruilong pay the price!"

Gao Qilin sensed the anger and determination surging within Meng Yu, and he said gratefully, "Thank you, Meng Yu. I believe you can see this through."

"Don't mention it," Meng Yu said firmly. "As a journalist, I have a responsibility to uncover the truth. And I won't let those who harm innocent people get away with it!"

Chapter 669 Power Outage

After hanging up the phone, Gao Qilin leaned back on the sofa with a huge sense of relief.

He felt the strength in Meng Yu's firm and angry voice, knowing that Zhao Ruilong would suffer heavy losses this time. The next morning, the Jinghai Daily published the news of Zhao Ruilong's kidnapping on its front page, sparking widespread discussion throughout the city and online.

Social media is flooded with comments and condemnations about the incident, with people expressing anger and dissatisfaction with Zhao Ruilong's horrific behavior on various platforms.

Zhao Ruilong is a madman! He kidnapped an innocent child; he doesn't deserve to be called a human being! A netizen wrote on Weibo.

This kind of evil person should be severely punished by law! What right does he have to hurt someone else's family, let alone a child! Another netizen commented.

The related topic quickly topped the trending search list, and major media outlets also reported on the case.

Zhao Ruilong's company dispatched its entire public relations team to deal with the public opinion storm and try to suppress the impact of the kidnapping incident.

However, they seemed powerless in the face of public opinion.

At the same time, Meng Yu began to use her advantages in the media industry to contact some influential media figures.

She hopes to gain their support and cooperation to expose this despicable act to the public.

The Jinghai Daily continued to expose Zhao Ruilong's dark side in subsequent reports.

The various revelations have shocked and angered many more people about his behavior.

Not only ordinary citizens, but also some social groups and civic organizations have stepped forward to issue statements condemning Zhao Ruilong's actions.

Zhao Ruilong sat in his office, watching the news reports on TV, feeling extremely anxious and uneasy.

He knew he was caught in a media storm and that it would be difficult to escape.

"We can't let them control us like this!" Zhao Ruilong said loudly, while his assistants looked at each other in bewilderment.

"President, we've done everything we can, but public opinion has spiraled out of control," a public relations manager said helplessly.

Zhao Ruilong clenched his fists tightly, a flash of anger in his eyes.

He thought he could achieve his goal by kidnapping Gao Yue, but he did not expect it to attract such widespread and strong condemnation.

"We can't lose!" Zhao Ruilong said through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with determination. Meanwhile, Chen Shuting stood in the construction group's office, her gaze sweeping over several workers. She selected a few who appeared reliable and experienced.

"I need your help to complete a task," Chen Shuting said, her voice revealing confidence and decisiveness.

Several workers immediately looked at her warily, their expressions showing a hint of curiosity.

"We need to cut off the Zhao Group's power supply; this is the task I've assigned to you," Chen Shuting explained.

The workers' expressions changed upon hearing the task.

"I will give you a large sum of money as a reward as long as you complete the task," Chen Shuting added.

The workers exchanged glances and then nodded. For them, the pay was a major motivator.

Chen Shuting guided them to retrieve the necessary specialized tools and explained the details of the entire task. The workers listened attentively and remembered every detail.

They then quickly and tacitly assigned their respective roles and responsibilities.

The first worker was responsible for locating the Zhao Group's power system, the second for cutting off the power, and the third for protecting the surrounding area.

The workers, tools in hand, set to work with great confidence. They operated skillfully and swiftly, cooperating perfectly.

Time ticked by, and in a flurry of activity, several workers successfully cut off the power to the Zhao Group building. Darkness quickly enveloped the entire building. Inside the darkened offices of the Zhao Group, the employees descended into chaos.

Without electricity, they were helpless and unable to continue working normally.

Coordination between departments also collapsed, production came to a standstill, and information transmission was greatly hindered.

Zhao Ruilong stood angrily in his office, pacing back and forth repeatedly.

He forcefully picked up the phone and called the power company to urge them to restore power.

“What are you doing? Why haven’t you solved this problem yet? I need the power back immediately!” he shouted.

The employees discussed issues related to power restoration, seeking help and solutions from each other.

Some people took out flashlights to illuminate their work areas, while others tried to find backup generators to maintain a certain level of power supply.

Meanwhile, in the power supply department's switchboard room, a young staff member was nervously communicating with other colleagues.

They felt equally anxious, facing pressure from the group president.

"We are doing everything we can to repair it, but this problem is not simple."

An anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "This time, it's not just the wiring that's the problem; many pieces of equipment also need to be inspected and replaced."

Zhao Ruilong roared angrily, "I don't care what methods you use, but you must resolve this issue within ten minutes! Otherwise, prepare to face the consequences!"

Chapter 670 Disposing of the Corpse

The power company staff wanted to explain, but Zhao Ruilong had already hung up the phone. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Ten minutes later, the power company staff called again to inform them that they had tried their best to resolve the issue, but it would take some more time.

"We will resolve this issue as soon as possible, please be patient."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruilong's face turned ashen.

Time slowly passed, and a long and anxious wait was spent in the darkness. Finally, an hour later, the lights came back on.

The entire office was ecstatic, and the employees cheered excitedly. They could finally resume their normal work.

Zhao Ruilong breathed a sigh of relief. As everything around him gradually returned to normal, Zhao Ruilong stood angrily in the office. He raised the folder in his hand and slammed it to the ground, scattering the papers everywhere.

The decorations on the table trembled, and the whole room seemed to be filled with his anger.

Just then, Zhao Ruilong received a familiar phone call. He frowned and reluctantly answered the call.

Zhao Dong's cold voice came through the phone: "Zhao Ruilong, you've been provoking Gao Qilin for so many days! Have you forgotten the agreement we reached?"

Zhao Ruilong gritted his teeth, struggling to suppress his inner rage.

“Father, I know I’ve gone too far, but Gao Qilin keeps pushing my limits. I just want to protect my own and the company’s interests.”

Zhao Dong sneered: "Interests? Don't you know what the consequences of making an enemy of Gao Qilin are? He's not someone to be trifled with."

Zhao Ruilong felt suppressed, and always felt unable to look his father in the eye.

"Father, please believe me, I have promised not to provoke him again. This was just a small conflict, there won't be any major problems."

Zhao Dong warned, "You'd better remember this: there's no benefit for us to be enemies with Gao Qilin right now."

Zhao Ruilong nodded helplessly: "Yes, Father, I understand. I will not provoke him again."

A soft sound came from the other end of the phone; Zhao Dong had already hung up.

Zhao Ruilong silently picked up the folders and papers on the table, tidied them up, and put them back in their original places.

Zhao Ruilong took a deep breath and decided to temporarily put aside his hatred.

Only by waiting for the right opportunity can we deliver a fatal blow to Gao Qilin.

With a thoughtful and cold gaze, Zhao Ruilong gritted his teeth and said again, facing the office door, "Gao Qilin, you just wait."
