However, Zhao Jun laughed out loud when he heard this: "Of course I know how much Qin Xu cares about you. Using you as bait would obviously be good for baiting Qin Xu, but Qin Xu is not an ordinary person after all.

"But," he said, after a pause, "I said that I would not hurt your son, that I would not touch a single hair on his head. Of course, that is only if you listen to me obediently and cooperate with me."

To put it bluntly, he had kept Ye Zixing here not only as bait, but also to threaten Ye Anne and make him listen to him obediently. A child can hold two people at once.

Therefore, no matter how Ye Anne begged and flattered him, he could not let him go.

Ye Anne realized this very quickly, and became even more anxious.

She tried to take another step back and said, "Then let me take a look at him and make sure he's still alright."

"No." Zhao Jun rejected her without hesitation, "You don't have the qualification to negotiate with me right now."

Ye Anne was currently in Zhao Jun's hands, and it didn't matter if he was physically strong or not, there was nothing that could be used to negotiate with him.

Ye Anne was so anxious that her eyes started to turn red, but she couldn't think of a reason to persuade Zhao Jun.

When Zhao Jun saw her reddened eyes, his heart actually throbbed slightly.

He had always had a good impression of Ye Anne. If not for the fact that he was hoping to cooperate with Ye Anne, he would have thought of a way to get his hands on her long ago.

But he never thought that after knowing that Ye Anne had betrayed him, she would still attract him …

Suddenly, Zhao Jun raised the corner of his mouth and said: "You know, I have always liked you, so, if you are willing to please me, maybe I will agree, and let you meet Ye Zixing again."

As he spoke, he vaguely stretched out his hand to caress Ye Anne's face, but Ye Anne dodged it.

Zhao Jun saw that Ye Anne had dodged his hand, and looked as if she didn't want him to touch her, and his face suddenly darkened again.

He stared coldly at Ye Anne for a moment, and laughed coldly: "Then you can stay here for now, I have plenty of time to wait for your consent."

After he finished speaking, he ignored Ye Anne's shout behind him and directly left the warehouse, locking the door behind him.

The moment the door was locked, the dim light disappeared and the entire warehouse sank into darkness.

In the darkness, Ye Anne's eyes could not see anything, but her other senses had become sharper. She looked at the pitch-black void, and as time passed, the unease and fear in her heart grew even more frenzied …

On the other side, it had already been a day and a night since Ye Anne and her disappearance, but no matter if it was the Mr. Ye or Qin Xu, there was no progress at all.

After Mr. Ye called the police, in order to not alarm the kidnappers and raise their alarm, the police did not investigate without restraint. They only investigated the monitoring system of the plaza where Ye Anne went down to that day.

The surveillance showed that Ye Anne had carried Ye Zixing to the shopping mall's underground parking lot at around 5 PM yesterday. It seemed that they were planning to bring Ye Zixing home. However, when she continued to check the monitoring system of the underground parking lot, she realized that the monitoring system for the area where Ye Anne parked his car was actually broken down. Of course, it was possible that it was deliberately destroyed by someone else.

However, the surveillance outside the car park did not show Ye Anne's car leaving the garage, so it was almost certain that Ye Anne and Ye Zixing were kidnapped by them due to the incident in the car park.

The police were now sorting through the surveillance around the mall to see if any suspicious people had appeared that day or the previous few days. Qin Xu had also sent people to help the police investigate, but he was unable to make any progress.

Moreover, what made Qin Xu even more anxious and worried was that an entire twenty-four hours had passed since the incident between Ye Anne and her mother.

However, during this period of time, Mrs. Ye and Qin Xu had not received any extortion phone calls. If the other party did not capture Ye Anne and Ye Zixing for the sake of extortion, it was because of enmity that they had tied up the person.

Thinking about it, Qin Xu could not help but feel regret and blame himself. He blamed himself for not finding out about Ye Anne's disappearance in time …

The more Qin Xu thought about it, the more he blamed himself. He was currently considering whether or not he should call her and use the underworld to ask for clues.

After all, kidnapping could escape surveillance, but it couldn't really be done without anyone noticing. What they had done would definitely leave behind traces, and those of the underworld were always sensitive enough to ask them if they had detected anything suspicious in the past few days.

But...

However, ever since his great-grandfather's generation, his entire business of Qin’s had already been washed clean. His great-grandfather had even left behind a group training saying that Qin’s could no longer have any interaction with the people of the underworld.

Therefore, Qin Xu was very hesitant whether he should call her or not.

But just as Qin Xu was hesitating, the phone in his hand suddenly rang. He looked down and saw that it was an unknown number.

Qin Xu's eyelids twitched inexplicably, he suddenly had a strong premonition in his heart. This phone call must be related to Ye Anne and Ye Zixing's disappearance!

He took a deep breath and answered the phone.

"Qin Xu, long time no see!" The person on the other end of the line sneered and greeted him.

"Zhao Jun? It's you! " Qin Xu immediately recognized Zhao Jun's voice, and quickly realized that the disappearance of Ye Anne and her son was most likely caused by Zhao Jun.

Actually, when Qin Xu and Ye Zixing went missing together, the first person Qin Xu suspected was Zhao Jun.

After all, Ye Anne had returned to Z City five years later. It could be said that other than Chu Xiaoxiao and Zhao Jun, there was no one else who had enmity with her.

It was just that after Zhao Jun was wanted by the police, he had concealed his whereabouts in a strange manner and Qin Xu was unable to find any relevant information or traces of him for a while.

However, Zhao Jun suddenly called him after the incident, and confirmed the truth. Zhao Jun was indeed involved in this matter.

Qin Xu spoke into the phone, "Did you kidnap Ye Anne and Ye Zixing?"

Although he was asking, he sounded very confident.

"It's me." Unlike the time when Ye Zixing was kidnapped, Zhao Jun had to admit it quickly.

On the phone, he gave an ambiguous smile and said, "How is it? "Surprise?"

Surprise?

Qin Xu was currently burning with anger, the veins on his forehead were popping. If Zhao Jun was in front of him right now, he really wanted to skin him alive …

But then, he thought about the fact that Ye Anne and Ye Zixing were still in the hands of the other, he had no choice but to suppress his anger and ask: "What have you done to them?"

Zhao Jun was very satisfied with the worry and anger he heard from Qin Xu's words. He happily laughed twice, then suddenly stopped smiling.

Zhao Jun blamed the fact that he had nothing left to kill for.

But now was not the time to pay attention to his crazy logic. Qin Xu subconsciously clenched his fists, and then slowly loosened them.

He patiently continued, "As long as you let Ye Anne and Ye Zixing go, I can send you out of the country safely and give you a sum of money that will let you live without worries for the rest of your life."

Zhao Jun scoffed at him and said, "If I really wanted to go abroad, I would have left long ago. It's not your place to help me right now?"

Qin Xu acted as if he was negotiating at the mall, and went straight to the point: "You do have the ability to go overseas yourself, but all the assets under your name have been frozen, you are in need of money."

Zhao Jun remained silent for half a minute before replying, "Yes, I do lack money, but what I want is not just food and clothing. I want you to return my favor to me."

Qin Xu considered for a moment, then said: "The Longen Technology have already been taken over by the police, I am unable to do so."

The Longen Technology Biomedical Company that Zhao Jun founded was suspected of stealing taxes seriously, and the CEO of the company was also suspected of being wanted in a criminal case. It was practically impossible for Long En to survive this.

He never made promises that he wasn't sure of, so he just admitted that he couldn't.

Qin Xu then said, "You can change the condition. As long as it is within my capabilities, I will definitely agree to it."

"Then I want your Qin’s, and your death!" Zhao Jun said without even thinking.

At first, it sounded like an angry sentence, but during the days when Zhao Jun had nothing left to lose, when people were looking for him everywhere, it was actually something that he had been pondering over in his mind day and night.

He fell into the mud from the top of the cloud in an instant. Zhao Jun had almost failed to make it through the huge gap in the middle, so as long as the money was not enough to quell the hatred in his heart, he wanted Qin Xu to have a good taste of living a life that was better than death.

Qin Xu said: "I can die if you want me, but I cannot make the decision on Qin’s for you. However, I can give you all the shares that I have in Qin’s."

Although Qin Xu had been managing the Qin’s the entire time, the majority of the shares were still in the hands of his father. Thus, when he was not the owner, he had no right to punish the Qin’s, and the only thing he could agree to was to transfer the shares.

But since it had to be said, the value of Qin Xu's shares alone far exceeded his Longen Technology, so giving up his shares was not a loss to Zhao Jun either.

However, Zhao Jun didn't think that Qin Xu would actually agree to the words "die" without hesitation. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed loudly: "I was just joking with you just now …"

His words were filled with malice, "No matter what you do or what you give me, I won't let Ye Anne and the others go."
