The two bodyguards and the security guards, upon hearing this, dared not delay any further and immediately pursued the direction in which the shadow had departed.
Sun Shicai's face was filled with murderous intent.
"Jiang Yi must be behind this," Sun Shicai said in a deep voice. "This brat Jiang Yi knows he's no match for me, so he resorted to such despicable tactics."
"Boss Sun, those bodyguards and security guards are useless. Sending them to find Young Master Sun is utterly futile. My suggestion is that we must find Inspector Zhou and have him pressure Jiang Yi to hand over Young Master Sun," said Ghost Doctor Cao Desheng to Sun Shicai.
"I will go and find Inspector Zhou immediately," Sun Shicai replied.
"I'll go with you!" Cao Desheng said, "Even if Inspector Zhou doesn't show you respect, he has to show me some."
Just as the two were preparing to get into a car to go to the Inspector's mansion, Jiang Yi alighted from a car parked by the roadside.
When Sun Shicai saw Jiang Yi, his face immediately turned grim.
"You really did kidnap my son!" Sun Shicai stared intently at Jiang Yi and said angrily, "Jiang Yi, release my son immediately, or I'll make you regret it. How dare you lay a hand on my son? I will ensure you have no peace in death."
Hearing this, Jiang Yi smiled slightly.
"I can release your son, but you must release Dongfang Mei first!" Jiang Yi said.
Upon hearing this, Sun Shicai's brow furrowed slightly.
"Last night, Master Qing captured Dongfang Mei and threatened me to hand over Tiansheng Group. Master Qing is your subordinate, so this must have been your doing!" Jiang Yi's sharp gaze fixed on Sun Shicai.
Sun Shicai's brow furrowed slightly.
Judging by Sun Shicai's expression, he seemed unaware of Master Qing capturing Dongfang Mei.
Sun Shicai took out his phone and called Master Qing. After confirming that Master Qing had indeed captured Dongfang Mei, Sun Shicai's expression became complicated.
Sun Shicai's objective was to defeat Tiansheng Group and make a substantial profit.
However, Master Qing had gone ahead and captured Dongfang Mei, threatening Jiang Yi to hand over Tiansheng Group.
"Come to Dasheng Group immediately!" Sun Shicai roared into the phone at Master Qing.
Afterward, Sun Shicai hung up the phone directly.
"Master Qing will be here at Dasheng Group shortly. As long as you release my son, I will have Master Qing release Dongfang Mei." Sun Shicai's sharp gaze fell upon Jiang Yi. "There's no need to escalate this matter. Let's go to the company lobby and wait for Master Qing..."
Jiang Yi nodded and followed Sun Shicai into Dasheng Group.
Shen Lu followed them.
Upon reaching the lobby, Jiang Yi sat on the sofa. Shen Lu stood behind Jiang Yi.
Before long, dozens of security guards entered the lobby from outside, staring at Jiang Yi with fierce eyes. They were ready to act at Sun Shicai's command.
Jiang Yi paid no heed to these security guards.
Half an hour later, Master Qing arrived.
Master Qing's brow furrowed slightly upon seeing Jiang Yi. Clearly, Master Qing had not expected Jiang Yi to be at Dasheng Group.
"Boss Sun, Dongfang Mei is now in my custody. We can seize this opportunity to snatch Tiansheng Group from Jiang Yi. This is an excellent chance!" Master Qing said.
Master Qing had acted on his own initiative by capturing Dongfang Mei, aiming to earn merit. With the downfall of Huichuntang, Xiao Wenbin was quite disappointed in Master Qing. Xiao Wenbin would no longer value Master Qing, so Master Qing intended to achieve great success to have a chance of being re-employed by Xiao Wenbin. Master Qing had not informed Sun Shicai of this matter, fearing Sun Shicai would snatch the credit. He had planned to reveal it to Sun Shicai after acquiring Tiansheng Group. However, to Master Qing's surprise, Jiang Yi had directly sought out Sun Shicai, and Sun Shicai had learned of the matter beforehand.
"Slap!" Sun Shicai raised his hand and slapped Master Qing.
"Release Dongfang Mei immediately!" Sun Shicai roared at Master Qing.
"Boss Sun, Jiang Yi hasn't handed over Tiansheng Group yet. We can't release Dongfang Mei now!" Master Qing quickly said. "If we miss this opportunity, we might never have another chance. Jiang Yi is cunning and certainly won't give us a second chance."
Master Qing was still unaware that Sun Shicai's son had been captured by Jiang Yi. Therefore, he strongly opposed Sun Shicai's decision.
"My son has been captured by Jiang Yi's men! Nothing is more important than my son," Sun Shicai said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Master Qing finally understood why Sun Shicai wanted him to release Dongfang Mei. Although Master Qing was unwilling, he had no other choice. For now, a hostage exchange was the only way.
"Jiang Yi, you've brought my son here. I'll have Master Qing bring Dongfang Mei as well. Let's exchange hostages right here!" Sun Shicai said to Jiang Yi.
"Alright!" Jiang Yi nodded and said to Shen Lu, "Go find Shadow and tell her to bring that fatty back."
"Okay!" Shen Lu responded and left the lobby.
Master Qing also took out his phone and called his subordinate.
This place was Sun Shicai's territory, but Jiang Yi did not take it seriously.
About half an hour later, two bald men entered with Dongfang Mei.
"I knew you would come to save me!" Dongfang Mei smiled faintly at Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi's gaze fell upon Dongfang Mei, and his brow furrowed slightly. Dongfang Mei's current demeanor did not resemble that of a kidnapped person; she was chatting and laughing. Jiang Yi couldn't understand if Dongfang Mei had a good disposition or if she simply didn't take the kidnapping seriously. Suddenly, Jiang Yi recalled the bloodstains in Dongfang Mei's room. Jiang Yi looked at Dongfang Mei and noticed she wasn't injured, which left Jiang Yi somewhat stunned. When Jiang Yi's gaze shifted to the two bald men, he saw that they both had bandages. It was evident that Dongfang Mei had dealt with them when they went to capture her last night. Dongfang Mei was quite clever; capturing her must have come at a price. Seeing that Dongfang Mei was unharmed, Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Jiang Yi, kill them for me!" Dongfang Mei said to Jiang Yi. "How dare these guys kidnap me? They must be tired of living." Dongfang Mei appeared very angry.
"Don't rush, it's not time to deal with them yet," Jiang Yi said.
"Fine, let them have their fun for now!" Dongfang Mei wore a playful smile.
Sun Shicai and Master Qing showed expressions of disdain. If they had known Dongfang Mei's identity, they wouldn't be wearing such expressions now.
"Jiang Yi, I've had Master Qing bring Dongfang Mei. Where is my son? Jiang Yi, I warn you, this is my territory. If you try any tricks on me, none of you will leave here alive," Sun Shicai stared intently at Jiang Yi.
