For祁漠's life, he had no choice but to take this step.
He couldn't just watch as 祁漠 was schemed to death by 舒昱!
"You wait, I'll be right back, I'll be right back!" 舒至北 answered his call, his emotions clearly agitated. 祁远 could hear that 舒至北's voice was even more trembling than before.
Without even hanging up the phone, 舒至北 had already rushed to 徐慧's side. He could only hear him excitedly shout at 徐慧, "Ah Hui, our daughter has been found, our daughter has finally been found!"
Hearing this, 祁远's heart ached violently, a pain as if a sharp dagger was piercing his heart incessantly.
He was assailed by his conscience.
But what could he do?
He had no other way!
...
"What did you say, 祁远 went to the 舒 family? Did he meet my eldest uncle?"
At that time, 舒昱 was in the largest entertainment club in country E. Because of a phone call, the noisy music stopped, and he asked the person on the other end of the phone, his face overcast and cold.
But in the next second, his eyes were filled with icy coldness. "Does he think that by doing this, 祁漠 will be fine? Can the 祁 family still be the same as before with the 舒 family? Heh, dream on!"
Even if 祁远 found his eldest uncle, it would be useless. The fact was that 祁漠 was suspected of illegal activities.
However, he never expected his subordinate to continue to inform him solemnly, "Young Master, the head of the 舒 family is now rushing back from the Buddhist temple!"
"Stop him."
舒昱 coldly uttered two words, his gaze even more determined.
His expression was as if covered by frost; he had gone all out.
Little did anyone know, someone rushed in from outside the private room, "Something's happened, something's happened! Ding Lei's family has been taken away!"
Originally, Ding Lei was bound to die.
In 舒昱's eyes, Ding Lei's family were like ants; it was easy for him to crush them. But if Ding Lei died and his family also met misfortune, it would inevitably arouse suspicion from others.
But who would have thought that Ding Lei would be saved by 慕音音!
If Ding Lei lived, his family, as the best weakness, had to be firmly grasped, otherwise, Ding Lei might very well act against them.
Who would have thought! Now Ding Lei's family had also been taken away.
The veins on 舒昱's forehead throbbed violently. At this critical juncture, who was sabotaging his plan!
"Who? Who took them away?" 舒昱 lunged forward and grabbed his subordinate's collar.
The subordinate was also terrified. "Young Master, we don't know who took Ding Lei away, but we are investigating. Ding Lei is currently at the police station. We can think of a way..."
This statement made 舒昱's face sink even further. He didn't listen to the rest of what his subordinate said.
Ding Lei was at the police station, and he wanted to think of a way? What way? To have Ding Lei die in the police station?
He now had the urge to kill 慕音音. Why did she have to come and ruin his plan!
Ding Lei couldn't die now. If he died, it would be the best proof of 祁漠's innocence.
"Investigate what? Dig three feet into the ground to find Ding Lei's family! If you can't find them, bring me their heads!" 舒昱 roared in anger.
Seeing him like a Rakshasa, the subordinate dared not provoke him and hurried to comply with his wishes.
...
舒至北 saw that he was blocked on the road. He recognized the person in charge at first glance; it was one of 舒昱's men.
He knew very well that 舒昱 had made up his mind.
He didn't scold the person in front of him at all. Instead, he took out his phone and called 舒昱. "舒昱, I'm not dead yet. You'd better call your men back. 祁漠 is my son-in-law, you can't treat him like that!"
舒昱's heart jolted.
Since his eldest uncle was now mentioning 祁漠 as his son-in-law, did that mean he already knew about 慕音音's existence?
But he didn't dare to ask directly.
He took a deep breath and slowly probed, "Eldest Uncle, my little sister was lost many years ago. How long has it been since this engagement? I understand that you have a good relationship with 祁远. But you must understand that there isn't that much sentiment in business. Your downfall over the years has been due to being too kind, otherwise, the position of our 舒 family in country E would never have had the existence of the 祁, 艾, and 占 families!"
舒昱 was decisive and resolute in his actions, and how could 舒至北 not know that?
But he never expected that 舒昱 would scheme against him.
He was very disappointed in 舒昱. "舒昱, I've always valued you, but I never thought you would go this far!"
舒昱 didn't pay attention to what he said. A cold smile curled up on his lips. "Eldest Uncle, a husband must be ruthless. I cannot let you go back and ruin my plan."
"I can't let you hurt 祁漠. He is the son-in-law I've recognized, you..."
Before 舒至北 could finish his words, he received a heavy blow to the back of his head.
He didn't have time to react before he was hit and fell unconscious.
Seeing 舒至北 collapse, 徐慧, who was in the car, went crazy and pushed open the door—
"至北, 至北—!"
徐慧 rushed over, but before she could touch 舒至北, she was already grabbed by the men 舒昱 had arranged. Of course, 徐慧 was unwilling to be restrained like this.
She struggled and screamed more frantically, "Let me go, let me go!"
However, the people beside her were indifferent. They even tied 徐慧 up. To prevent 徐慧 from yelling, they directly taped her mouth shut.
Finally, both 徐慧 and 舒至北 were thrown into a black minivan. The driver had a gun pointed at his head. "You are not allowed to speak of today's events. If anyone asks you, you will say that the head of the 舒 family took his wife for treatment, otherwise, you will have nowhere to be buried!"
The struggles between wealthy families were not easily interfered with by outsiders. Moreover, he was as insignificant as an ant. Seeing that 舒昱 could go this far, he was truly powerless.
He could only repeatedly agree, "Yes, I will do as you say and will not let any wind leak!"
But 舒昱's men did not spare him just because he agreed. The leader gave a look, and immediately another person rushed forward.
"Ah—!"
This person delivered a heavy punch, knocking him to the ground. Then, with another kick, his leg snapped with a "crack."
Seeing the man rolling on the ground in pain, they drove away with satisfaction.
They took 舒至北 and 徐慧 to a villa in the suburbs, confiscated their phones, and then guarded the surroundings.
