Chapter 79: The Man with the Mask

Ye Qian didn't expect that kidnapping, something that she had only seen in movies and TV, would fall on her one day, although the kidnappers were quite polite and didn't hurt her, but she was still scared in her heart.

In the case of not knowing the origin and purpose of the other party, Ye Qian's heart was even more up.

Such a civilized and large-scale kidnapping is not something that Shen Qing, Gu Yunting and the like can do at all.

Ye Qian couldn't think of anyone who would have the financial resources and means to "invite" her over, let alone feel that she had such a value.

Could it be Gu Shen's opponent in the shopping mall? Ye Qian was not sure.

She felt that the other party was playing a big game of chess, and as a chess piece on the chessboard, she knew nothing about the situation and her role.

There was not much time, and the maid who had just searched her phone came in with a rosewood tray and a meal.

Regularly placed on the round glass table in front of the window, plain white bone china plates, colorful and fragrant meals, a meat, a vegetarian soup and a bowl of fragrant and glutinous white rice, the match is reasonable, and everywhere is exquisite.

The maid made a "please" gesture and exited the room.

Ye Qian's hard hunger strike forced the other party to come out to meet, but her stomach was too hungry, from getting off work to being taken away, and after more than four hours of flight, she was brought here, and it was estimated that it was now more than ten o'clock in the evening, and she had not eaten.

And the food on the table looked really tempting, and bursts of aroma wafted in, and Ye Qian's stomach screamed twice with an uncompromising "gurgling".

Giving up the idea of hunger strike, Ye Qian walked to the glass table and sat down, smiling at somewhere in the corner.

When she came in, she found that there was a pinhole camera, and there was someone on the other end secretly observing her every move, although she didn't know what the other party's intentions were, but she didn't intend to lose momentum at all.

Ye Qian unhurriedly spread out the napkin and began to eat, her movements were elegant and dignified, not at all like a prisoner who had been kidnapped, but like a distinguished guest invited by the master.

As she expected, after eating, the maid quickly came in to clean up the dishes.

Ye Qian saw that she was neat and well-trained, and she was completely at the level of a waiter in a star-rated hotel, and she became more and more curious about the person who tied herself.

"Who is your master?"

The maid still didn't answer, put away her things, walked to the door and bowed and said, "Miss Ye, rest early." ”

Ye Qian watched the door close again, and when she opened and closed the room, she saw at least two tall bodyguards guarding the door.

She sat in front of the window, her fingers tapping on the glass, and the old god pondered for a moment, then turned her eyes to the camera in the corner, and said in that direction, "Come out and talk." ”

She waited for a long time, and no one came.

Ye Qian didn't know what the other party was doing, so he had to wait and see.

The night is still long, and staying alone in a deserted house feels like time flies very slowly, and it is difficult to survive.

Gu Shen didn't find out that Ye Qian was missing until after twelve o'clock in the evening.

When he got home, he found that Ye Qian was no longer there, and he waited for a while before calling her, and when the phone was turned off, he faintly felt that something was wrong.

Calling Mo Xiaobei, knowing that they had not been in contact today, Gu Shen's heart began to panic, and Mo Xiaobei continued to contact Ye Qian's other friends, and at the same time contacted He Fan and Qin Mo, asking them to help find people from different channels.

Gu Shen's last call was to Xia Lin, and as soon as Xia Lin heard that Ye Qian was gone, the whole person panicked, "Second brother, could it be ......?"

Before Xia Lin finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Shen.

"Come over and talk about it. ”

"Okay, I'll come right over. Xia Lin also realized that he was too imprudent to discuss these things on the phone, so he hung up the phone and immediately drove to the apartment to find Gu Shen.

If it was really those people who did it, then Ye Qian would not be in danger for the time being.

There was still time to save her back, Xia Lin comforted himself. The hand holding the steering wheel tightly, the bones were white, and the green tendons were about to appear, revealing his nervousness at the moment.

In the study, Gu Shen bit the cigarette butt and stood in front of the window, his eyes fell a little farther away from the window, he seemed to be slightly distracted, the blue and white smoke curled up, covering his eyebrows, it was so cold and bloodthirsty, like a lion dormant in the dark night, extremely dangerous.

Xia Lin sat on the sofa, supporting his head with one hand, pressing his tired eyebrows with the hand holding the cigarette, his eyes were far and deep.

The whole room was filled with thick smoke, just like the mood of the two at this moment.

Xia Lin was the first to lose his breath and asked, "What are your plans?"

Gu Shen was silent for a while, and squeezed out a word from between his teeth, "Wait." ”

The manpower that should be sent out has been dispersed, all entrances and exits are closely monitored, and the entire Lingang City is like iron and copper, as long as the other party takes action, it will be difficult to fly.

What else can he do at this moment but wait?

No matter who the other party is or what the purpose is, he will always be in contact with him, and he will be able to wait for the opportunity.

"Could it be ......?"

Gu Shen shook his head, "I shouldn't have been exposed." ”

Xia Lin was silent, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if it weren't for those people, it would be fine.

After a while, Xia Lin asked again, "Do you have any other enemies?"

Kidnapping, this is not a small grudge, with Gu Shen's keenness, he will not be unaware.

Gu Shen was silent, turned around and pressed the almost burned cigarette butt into the ashtray, stepped into the wide black leather chair, closed his eyes, and kneaded his tired eyebrows.

Elaine, Jia Zhixin, Shen Qing, Ling Yue, Gu Jia?

He has asked people to check all the people who need to be investigated, and there is no suspicion.

Gu Shen felt a tiredness that he had never felt before, it was a kind of burnout that he couldn't do anything about.

It was a sleepless night.

Early in the morning, before dawn, He Fan came over with a copy of the surveillance video.

After a night of monitoring and investigation, it was determined that Ye Qian appeared in the parking lot of the magazine for the last time. ”

He Fan inserted the USB flash drive into the computer, pointed to the monitoring screen on the screen and said, "After she walked into this monitoring blind spot, she never appeared again." I sent someone to see that her car happened to be parked in the blind spot of the surveillance, and now her car is still parked there, and it is preliminarily inferred that she was taken from somewhere. ”

Gu Shen stared at the surveillance screen with a frown, his bloodshot eyes sharp and dangerous.

He Fan knew that he was worried about Ye Qian, although he knew that the next words had little effect on comfort, he still added: "There were no traces of fighting or struggling at the scene, she should not have been treated violently." ”

Gu Shen was still staring at the monitoring screen that had been switched down from several angles, and suddenly his eyes flashed, he reached out and pressed the pause button, and followed his fingers to quickly operate on the keyboard a few times.

A part of one of the pictures was enlarged, and Gu Shen pointed to the edge of the picture and said, "Ye Qian's car here." ”

Xia Lin and He Fan tried their best to widen their eyes, and they saw some blurred blue lines in the direction of Gu Shen's finger, which were the same color as the coat Ye Qian was wearing when he disappeared, and from that position, there was a road that was not wide.

He Fan got up and walked out, "I'll immediately ask people to check the whereabouts of all the vehicles passing by at that intersection at that time that night." ”

Gu Shen said sincerely: "Thank you." ”

At that time, it was the evening rush hour, even if it was not the main artery, there were not many vehicles passing at that time, and it was necessary to check their whereabouts from the surveillance one by one to determine Ye Qian's whereabouts, and the workload could be imagined.

……

This night, Ye Qian didn't know when she fell asleep, she clearly remembered that she had been sitting in front of the window, but when she opened her sleepy eyes again, she found herself sleeping on the bed, and a bunch of cold plums in front of the window were inserted in the ancient bottle of blue and white porcelain, exuding bursts of fragrance.

A few petals somehow landed on the sheets, and the pink petals and the white sheets complemented each other, revealing an eerie beauty.

These seem to be deliberate, including her night's sweet sleep.

Not long after Ye Qian got up, the maid came in with breakfast.

Breakfast was rich, her favorite crab roe roe roe and shrimp jiao, plus a bowl of porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork.

The maid still ignored Ye Qian's question and answer, and after setting up breakfast, she made a gesture of invitation and left.

Ye Qian took the first bite and found that the breakfast was produced by Wei Ding Xuan, she raised her eyebrows, and her eyes fell on the window.

For the first time, I thought about it, where the hell is this?

As far as she knows, Wei Ding Xuan is not a chain operation, there is only one in the country, and there is no other branch, so she has been on a four-hour plane, has she been circling over Lingang?

Who is the other party trying to confuse?

Another day was spent like this, and no one came in except at noon when the maid came to deliver food.

Knowing that she was likely to still be in Lingang, Ye Qian had been waiting for an opportunity to escape, but the bodyguards inside and outside the house were very closely monitored, and she had no chance at all.

Towards the end of the evening, the maid came in with a suit of clothes, "My master wants to invite Miss Ye to dinner, please ask Miss Ye to change her clothes." ”

Ye Qian raised his eyebrows and nodded to indicate that he understood.

The maid put her clothes on the bed and leaned away.

Ye Qian lowered his eyes and looked at the palace dress on the bed, and then looked at the camera in the corner of the wall defiantly, and he had no intention of changing his clothes at all.

If she really thinks she is a prince and grandson, she has to let her bathe and change her clothes in advance, she doesn't, and if she has the ability, she will never come out to see her.

An hour later, the maid reappeared and was slightly surprised to see that Ye Qian was still wearing her clothes, but quickly regained her composure and politely came over to invite her downstairs for dinner.

Ye Qian followed the maid to the restaurant, still in an all-European style, with the illusion of entering Downton Abbey by mistake.

At the table sat a man dressed in a black gift with a silver mask on his face, and judging by his exposed skin, it was conservatively estimated that he should be over seventy years old.

Ye Qian quickly searched his interpersonal network in his brain, and it was certain that they had not met before.

The masked man was tall and pine, in good spirits, and did not look old at all, and when he saw Ye Qian, a gentleman stood up, he pulled out a chair for her.

On the mask, the corners of his mouth kept rising slightly, revealing a decent smile, but Ye Qian still clearly felt the sense of coercion from the person who had been in the top position for a long time.

"Miss Ye, don't like the dress I prepared for you?" Obviously, the man was very concerned that Ye Qian did not appear properly according to his arrangement.

Ye Qian looked down at his black turtleneck, dark jeans, and over-the-knee leather boots, which were incompatible with the European court style here.

She curled her lips and smiled lightly, "I don't like to be influenced by others. ”

I'm determined to make you unhappy, so what?

The masked man suffocated for a moment, his expression slightly cold, "It seems that Miss Ye is not conscious of being controlled by others at all." ”

I kidnapped them, and you dare to drag them like this?

Ye Qian said without showing weakness: "I have written down this account." ”

Sooner or later, I'll get it back from you.

The man smiled slightly, "It's a good thing to have self-confidence." ”

But it's not a good thing to be self-sufficient.

The two played back and forth, with sharp words and refused to give in to each other.

After a few rounds, the man didn't get any bargain from Ye Qian's mouth.

The man's eyes looked at Ye Qian deeper and deeper, she was very different from what he imagined, not at all like a kidnapped person, she didn't have the panicked appearance that a kidnapped person should have, she was too calm.

Ye Qian saw the man looking at her, pulled his lips and smiled: "Why are you looking at me like this?"

The man finally blurted out his question, "Aren't you afraid?"

Ye Qian sneered and said, "I'm afraid, but I'm afraid, will you let me go?"

Since I'm afraid that I can't change anything, it's better to do whatever I want.

The man raised an eyebrow, "You're not afraid of provoking me?"

Ye Qian disagreed, "Are you so easily excited?" I thought that at your age, your temper would be somewhat restrained. ”

The man was stunned, "Do you know who I am?"

Ye Qian casually turned the ring on his finger, "Have we met, don't you know very well?"

The man was choked again, but the maid came to serve the food and interrupted their conversation.

Ye Qian heard him gasp heavily, the corners of his mouth almost imperceptibly pursed upward, spread out the napkin, held a knife and fork, lowered his head and concentrated on cutting the steak into even small pieces.

Her fingers are as white and long as shallots, and she looks elegant and artistic when holding the cutlery.

The man seemed pleased with her dining demeanor, and a soft light flashed under the mask.

Until they finished the meal, the man didn't speak again, as if his appearance was just to have a meal with Ye Qian.

The maid refilled the black tea, and the man waited for the maid to leave before he said lightly, "You are smarter than I thought, and calm, I appreciate this." ”

Ye Qian leaned on the sofa seat, supported his head with one hand, and looked at him, "Don't go around in circles, it's better to explain your purpose directly!"

The man squeezed the teacup elegantly and said casually, "Please be a guest." ”

This time it was Ye Qian's turn to be sullen, and she snorted: "Your attitude of inviting people as guests is really not good." ”

The man laughed badly, "Am I not polite enough to you? not everyone can live in my manor and enjoy such courtesy." You should feel honored to have such an opportunity. ”

Ye Qian laughed angrily, "You have successfully refreshed my perception of shamelessness. ”

The man seemed to be in a good mood, and stood up with a low smile, "I have no ill will towards you, let's stay here for a few days with peace of mind!"

Ye Qian's eyes were half-squinted, and he couldn't guess the man's purpose for keeping him here for a while, but it was obvious that the man didn't want to tell her.

Seeing that the man was about to walk out of the restaurant, Ye Qian raised his voice and said, "I hope you don't give me any more incense tonight, I don't need such courtesy." ”

She had smelled a suspicious scent in her room this morning, although it was faint and masked by the scent of plum blossoms, but she was still aware of it. Coupled with her inexplicable sleep, Ye Qian was almost certain that someone had put a misty incense into her room last night.

The man paused, "I just want you to get a good rest, and since you don't like it, forget it." ”

"I hope you do what you say. ”

The man left without pause.

After that, the maid came in and brought Ye Qian back to the upstairs room.

Another day.

Ye Qian has been missing for more than 48 hours.

Gu Shen couldn't receive any phone calls from the kidnappers, and he couldn't figure out the other party's origin and purpose at all, and this feeling that everything was out of his control made him crazy.

There was a thick aura around him, and the cold was like an ice peak that had frozen for thousands of years, making Xia Lin next to him feel that the temperature of the entire room had dropped by many degrees......

After a sleepless investigation, news finally came from He Fan's side that Ye Qian was taken to Lingang Airport, and it was speculated from the entrance where they entered that Ye Qian was taken on a small private jet.

"What about the surveillance at the airport?" asked Gu Shen eagerly.

"Someone deleted it. He Fan continued: "I have asked people to check all the private jets that took off at that time, and there should be news soon." ”

Soon the results came back, and the results of the investigation showed that there were a total of three planes that left Hong Kong that night, one was an actor who flew abroad to attend the opening ceremony of the film festival, one was the chairman of Rastar International who flew to Shanghai to attend the International Economic Forum, and the owner of one was a mysterious wealthy businessman who flew to Linjiang to participate in a charity dinner that night, all of which were not suspicious.

Everyone was silent for a long time, Xia Lin stared at the name of Xinghui International on the investigation results, and said, "Are you still exposed?"

Gu Shen's hands trembled, his eyes were slightly dark, and he was silent for a while and said, "No, if it were them, they should have made conditions a long time ago." ”

Xia Lin's words still attracted He Fan's attention, and he picked up the phone and said, "I'll still ask someone to check in this direction first, and there is news to inform you." ”

Gu Shen pursed his lips and was silent, a complex and unpredictable darkness flashed in Leng Xiao's eyes, as if hiding the stormy waves and the arrogance of slaughter.

That night, the chairman of Rastar International was taken away by the police in Shanghai on suspicion of participating in a number of economic crimes and money laundering.

At the same time, a number of senior executives of Rastar International were controlled by the police and were investigated.

But the person who kidnapped Ye Qian still didn't move.

On the afternoon of the third day, Gu Shen received a text message from a stranger with only one address on it.

It was a manor house on the outskirts of Lingang.

Intuition told Gu Shen that Ye Qian was in that manor.

……

At midnight, Ye Qian woke up from his deep sleep, and there was chaos around him, and the searchlight illuminated the entire manor as if it were day.

Outside the door, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps and fighting.

Although Ye Qian couldn't figure out the current situation, she still wisely found a relatively safe place to hide, accidentally injured or something, she didn't want it to happen to her.

The door grew quiet, and she faintly heard someone calling her name.

The voice is from far to near, "Ye shallow, Ye shallow......"

Ye Qian's eyes lit up, it was Gu Shen!

She got up from the corner excitedly and ran towards the door, "Gu Shen, I'm here!"

The door opened, and Ye Qian suddenly threw himself into Gu Shen's arms.

Gu Shen hugged her tightly and pressed her tightly to his chest, and his heart, which had been empty for a few days, was finally filled again. That's the joy and happiness of being lost and regained!

Ye Qian also hugged him tightly, his voice was a little choked and hoarse, "You can count it, I knew you would find me." ”

Gu Shen gently widened the distance between the two of them, and carefully looked Ye Qian up and down twice, she lost weight, and there was a faint dark blue under her eyes, but her spirit looked good.

He still didn't dare to caress her cheek too sure, "Are you okay, did they hurt you?"

Ye Qian shook his head and said, "No, I just miss you too much." ”

"Me too. ”

The two hugged each other fiercely again, the eager kiss was overwhelming, and all the thoughts poured out at this moment, warm and inseparable.

Xia Lin coughed awkwardly twice at the door, followed by a "oh~~~~~" sound, followed by the sound of a group of people coaxing.

Ye Qian's face turned red in an instant, and he subconsciously let go of Gu Shen, and through his shoulder, he saw a large group of well-trained men in black clothes led by Xia Lin and He Fan standing behind Gu Shen.

She shrank in Gu Shen's arms, feeling from her face to her neck, and then the whole person was about to burn, so embarrassed that she had nowhere to put her hands and feet!

Gu Shen patted her back soothingly, slowly let go of the arm that hugged her, turned around and glanced at the audience with a threatening gaze.

Time seemed to stand still suddenly, and the commotion came to an abrupt halt!

All the team members involved in the operation felt their scalps tingle, and almost instinctively came to stand in place.

I don't know who shouted without knowing death, "Hello sister-in-law!"

This was followed by a neat voice, "Hello sister-in-law!"

The shouting is full of breath, and the sound is vibrating!

Gu Shen held Ye Qian's hand tightly, clenched her ten fingers, and with another eye knife, everyone reined in.

Xia Lin said: "It has been searched, except for the two bodyguards who were injured, there is no one in the manor." ”

Ye Qian frowned tightly, "No one?"

There are more than two bodyguards guarding her door every day!

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps downstairs, and a man dressed in black ran up and said, "Report, a secret passage has been found in the backyard." ”

Gu Shen frowned, looked at He Fan and said, "Big brother, I'll leave it to you here." I'll take the people to withdraw first. ”

He Fan nodded and ordered, "Continue the search!"

Police officers quickly replaced the black-clad team members and conducted a massive search of the estate.

Gu Shen pulled Ye Qian and strode out, leaving with Xia Lin and the black-clothed team members in a hurry.

Outside the manor, rows of black cars were parked outside.

Gu Shen opened the car door, bent down slightly, stretched out his hand to block the door to protect Ye Qian and get into the car, closed the car door, turned the front of the car and sat in the driver's seat, and drove away.

Behind him, cars followed closely behind, leaving the manor with great noise.

Ye Qian turned sideways in confusion and looked at Gu Shen with beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, "Gu Shen, who are you?"

The ghost blows the lamp
