When Fei Hu and Yingzi arrived at the Ye Cheng family's villa, it was already in chaos. Brother Dong, who had rushed over with more than a hundred of his men, stood outside the villa, determined to turn A City upside down.
Ye Cheng, looking anxious, shouted at Fei Hu, "Do you know Xiaofei is missing? One Night Without Return! What are you two planning to do?" Ye Cheng's outburst made Fei Hu realize the seriousness of the situation. He didn't respond but pulled Brother Dong aside and whispered a few words. Brother Dong obediently turned around and led his men quietly out of the villa.
"Don't worry, Grandpa. We will find a way to handle this. But rest assured, Xiaofei is definitely not in danger. Think about it: if they wanted to harm her, why would they take her away? This means there must be a purpose behind it. We just need to wait; results will come soon," Fei Hu patiently reassured Ye Cheng.
Sister Wu stood behind Ye Cheng, gently massaging his back. Gradually, the old man calmed down. Yingzi then recounted what had happened the previous night. When Ye Cheng heard that Ye Wu had been killed while resisting arrest, he was stunned. He couldn't believe that Ye Wu had met such an end. Although Ye Wu had shown him great disrespect during his life and even attempted to take his life, they had shared a life together and referred to each other as father and son.
Seeing the old man shed two dry tears, Fei Hu couldn't help but think of his own grandfather. The debt of raising someone is greater than the heavens; how pitiful are those who raise others—Ye Cheng was a true embodiment of this.
At that moment, Captain Wang of Shengwei Company’s security team pushed open the door and walked in. Upon seeing him, Fei Hu approached and shook his hand politely before directly asking, "Captain Wang, please tell us everything in detail without missing anything."
Captain Wang nodded and after a moment's thought said, "This morning, when Miss Ye just started work, a woman came in claiming to be a client representative from High-Tech Company and requested to see Miss Ye. After I called Miss Ye to confirm, I let her go upstairs. About ten minutes later, Miss Ye came out alongside this woman. Strangely enough, they flagged down a taxi together and left. Not long after that, Miss He came looking for me regarding Miss Ye; she said several departments were waiting for her but couldn’t find her. When she called her phone, it turned out Miss Ye had left it on her desk."
"What? You said it was a woman; was there anything special about her? Think carefully," Fei Hu interrupted Captain Wang.
Captain Wang thought for a long time before hesitantly saying, "I always felt this woman looked familiar. After recalling it well, I realized she resembled Wang Qian. Although she had put on makeup and used some disguise techniques, her walking posture and speaking speed—when analyzed closely—really did resemble Wang Qian."
An ominous premonition struck Fei Hu's heart; it seemed that Ye Xiaofei was not merely missing but had been kidnapped. Who could this person be? If it really was Wang Qian, why would she want to kidnap Ye Xiaofei? It didn’t make sense! The incidents involving Ye Wei were their own doing and had nothing to do with anyone else. Fei Hu's mind was racing but he couldn't figure out the reasoning behind it all.
No, this matter needed decisive action; hesitation could lead to a Major Incident. Fei Hu let out a breath and asked Captain Wang, "Does everyone in the company know about this?"
"No! Only I and the HR supervisor Miss He know about it right now; we are still uncertain about what exactly happened with Miss Ye. That's why I called the villa to explain the situation," Captain Wang replied firmly.
Fei Hu nodded in approval and said, "Very good! Lao Wang, you did well on this matter." After speaking, he immediately turned and whispered into Ye Cheng's ear, gesturing as he spoke, clearly providing detailed information.
"Alright, this matter cannot spread any further. You should head back! You need to pay more attention to the company's security. I will call Miss He right away," Ye Cheng said, lightly waving his hand at Captain Wang. Captain Wang understood and turned to leave; he was a smart man, and his responsibility was to ensure Sheng Wei's safety.
Just as everyone was at a loss, Fei Hu's phone rang. He took it out and frowned; the screen displayed "Private Number." This type of call was a first for Fei Hu. Yingzi curiously ran over, glanced at Fei Hu's phone, and urged, "Answer it! Who cares who it is? Just pick up and talk."
Fei Hu nodded and pressed the answer button. A woman's voice immediately came through the receiver: "Ye Xiaofei is in our hands. She is doing well for now. We hope you will behave and not call the police; otherwise, we will have no choice but to throw her into the sea. In three days, you must come to the Golden Triangle to pick her up. If we find you brought the police, I don't need to explain the consequences."
"What? How am I supposed to come? What should I bring? Are you Wang Qian?" Fei Hu asked several questions in quick succession, somewhat flustered.
The woman on the other end paused briefly before continuing, "The fact that you haven't called the police shows that you are wise, so please continue to be so. To be honest with you, every move you make is under our control. For your next actions, follow my instructions over the phone to ensure Ye Xiaofei's safety."
"No! I want to hear Ye Xiaofei speak," Fei Hu suddenly thought of something and insisted on confirming Ye Xiaofei's safety.
The woman on the phone suddenly snapped, "Isn't your request too much?" After saying that, she hung up.
Fei Hu anxiously paced back and forth in the hall for two laps. Since Ye Xiaofei went missing until now, it had been at least three to four hours. In these few hours, with modern transportation, who knows where they could have taken her? Three days later at Golden Triangle—was this a movie? Fei Hu couldn't help but tap his forehead in disbelief.
"Child, don't worry; we'll find a way. Just don't let yourself get into trouble," Sister Wu softly comforted Fei Hu. When Fei Hu answered the call earlier, it was on speakerphone, so everyone heard everything the woman said clearly.
Ye Cheng stood up with a furrowed brow and said, "Why not just call the police? The Golden Triangle is not a place for ordinary people to go. Fei Hu doesn't need to take this risk anymore; besides, Dragon Tiger Gang has more pressing matters to attend to. Yingzi should personally go to the major crimes unit and inform them about this situation; let's see if Xiaofei has good luck or bad luck."
Ye Cheng's attitude surprised everyone present. If these people could control Ye Xiaofei, then taking her life would be easy for them as well. Moreover, no one could say for sure whether they had accomplices in City A. It would be safer to observe changes quietly; calling the police would not work.
After careful consideration, Fei Hu said to Ye Cheng, "For now, we won't report this to the police. It's just going to the Golden Triangle; I've been to Vietnam before—it's about the same. For Xiaofei's safety, I'm willing to take this risk. Besides, they specifically want me to go there; it seems this matter is quite complicated. If I don't go personally, I won't be able to unravel this mystery. I'll set off in three days; just wait for my good news." Fei Hu spoke with great calmness.
"No way! What kind of place is the Golden Triangle? Do you think it's like strolling through the streets of Hong Kong? It's a den of thieves, with all sorts of dangerous characters. Once you get there, it's not just about how tough you are; that won't solve the problems," Ye Cheng insisted, refusing to let Fei Hu take that risk.
Fei Hu was determined to go, but Ye Cheng wouldn't allow it, and the two ended up arguing. This was the first time such a situation had occurred, and Yingzi realized that if this continued, not only would they fail to resolve the issue, but it would also damage their relationship.
"Stop arguing; that won't solve anything. I suggest Grandpa and Sister Wu head back to the villa in the suburbs immediately. It seems like our activities here have been under surveillance. I'll step out for a moment to check Fei Hu's phone for any calls and see where they came from. Then I'll contact my friend to help analyze this situation. Fei Hu should stay here and get some rest; he shouldn't go anywhere," Yingzi said before turning to leave.
Sister Wu glanced at Fei Hu and pulled Ye Cheng along with her as they walked out. The spacious hall fell silent. Fei Hu crossed his arms and paced back and forth in the living room, racking his brain over the issue, but to no avail. He couldn't connect the kidnapping of Ye Xiaofei with himself. Did they not want me to be the leader of the Dragon Tiger Gang? Fei Hu was deeply troubled.
After tossing and turning all night, Fei Hu finally fell asleep by dawn. A knock on the door jolted him awake from his dreams. He quickly rolled out of bed, only wearing pants and no shirt, and opened the door.
Yingzi stood at the door, shyly glancing at the muscular Fei Hu before stepping inside. She said lightly, "Put on some clothes; I'm really amazed by you. Even at this hour, you can sleep so soundly."
Fei Hu smiled but didn't offer much explanation as he washed his face. He asked Yingzi, "How's the phone search going? Did you go find Ni Ling?"
"I checked the phone records but couldn't trace anything. I did talk to Ni Ling; she suggested I accompany you to the Golden Triangle so we can look out for each other. Besides, my skills are just as good as yours, don't you think?" Yingzi said with a smile directed at Fei Hu.
Fei Hu snorted dismissively and replied, "No way! I'm going alone; Grandpa wouldn't agree otherwise. Besides, do you think those people would be reasonable? If I'm going to take this risk alone, whether it works or not is just a test; there's no need for you to get involved. That would be too risky for you."
Yingzi rolled her eyes at Fei Hu, stood up to listen at the door for a moment, then quietly approached him and whispered, "Ni Ling told me that this matter is already known within the bureau. She wants us to go ahead first; ideally, we can lure those people out of the Golden Triangle. They will assist us from the shadows, which significantly lowers the danger factor."
Just then, Fei Hu's phone rang again, and both Yingzi and Fei Hu's expressions changed as they were speaking.
