Chapter 597: The Sorrowful Heart of Parents in the World!
"You can't threaten me!"
Facing the unscrupulous blackmail, Zhu Ge Yuheng said expressionlessly, "Even if you hand over this information to the authorities, I will never betray Mr. Jiang!"
"I expected that!" the other party sneered, "Then take a look at this!"
After speaking, the other side sent another video, showing an unconscious Xiao Yi being dragged out of a car and pulled to an unknown location.
"Xiao Yi!!!"
Zhu Ge Yuheng was shocked, never imagining that his son would fall into the hands of others!
"Zhu Ge Yuheng, listen carefully, I'm giving you two hours to consider whether or not you want to cooperate with me. If you remain obstinate, the next thing you receive will be your son's corpse!"
With that, the other party hung up directly.
"Beast, let my son go!!!"
Zhu Ge Yuheng roared, yet the phone only echoed the dial tone.
Refusing to give up, Zhu Ge Yuheng immediately dialed back the original number, only to hear a voice message indicating the number was void.
He instantly realized that this opponent had come prepared, using a random number device to completely block the source and location, making it impossible for Zhu Ge Yuheng to trace them.
Such a device is extremely advanced and not available for ordinary people, requiring a powerful network and extraordinary ties with communication departments.
In other words, the opponent was not an ordinary entity, likely having vast influence, calculating Zhu Ge Yuheng into their plans!
At this moment, even with Zhu Ge Yuheng's usual steadiness and wisdom, he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.
In his mind was a fierce internal struggle, yet he couldn't bear to betray Jiang Feng!
Immediately, he tried to call Jiang Feng to report the situation promptly.
But Jiang Feng's line was unreachable, making him even more anxious.
"Leader, sorry for the suddenness, an urgent matter has come up, I have to excuse myself!"
In haste, Zhu Ge Yuheng called the leader he was to meet and said bitterly.
"Zhu Ge Yuheng, what do you mean by this?"
On the other end, a few leaders driving over were a bit displeased that Zhu Ge Yuheng dared to stand them up!
"I apologize, it's a personal matter, and I ask the leaders for their understanding!"
Hanging up the phone, Zhu Ge Yuheng took a deep breath and hurriedly left the private room.
...
As night descended, the Bentley Mulsanne sped towards the vicinity of Binhai University like an arrow.
Since the call wouldn't go through, Zhu Ge Yuheng could only personally go to the mansion to find Jiang Feng!
This was the first time he drove so fast, with sweat continuously forming on his palms, showing how frantic he was!
The love of a parent is universal; with only one son like Xiao Yi, if anything happened to him, it would be the second heavy blow in his life!
As a trusted aide and right-hand man of Chu Renxiong, Zhu Ge Yuheng's fate was closely tied to his, having lost his wife early on during the tumultuous days of the world of martial arts, assassinated by an enemy!
In all these years, Zhu Ge Yuheng never remarried, living with Xiao Yi as father and son depending on each other!
Xiao Yi was always very understanding, never blaming Zhu Ge Yuheng for his mother's unfortunate death.
On the contrary, he knew how his father lived a life of peril, blood on the blade's edge, and actively defended him, not tolerating anyone speaking ill of his father!
And now, he's more outstanding than ever, aiming to work hard and replace his father someday so that his father could enjoy a peaceful retirement.
Who could have expected this trouble when Zhu Ge Yuheng felt the proudest of his son!
More painfully, three days later, it's his son's twentieth birthday!
Zhu Ge Yuheng had cleared his schedule a week in advance to spend an unforgettable birthday with his son.
Now, it's uncertain whether his son can survive this ordeal!
Unknowingly, tears blurred Zhu Ge Yuheng's vision, driving even faster, swift as the wind!
Finally, he reached the street behind Binhai University, hurried into the alley, parked directly outside the mansion, and rushed inside.
At this time, Nangong Qingcheng, Chu Feifei, and the other two women had just arrived home not long ago, discussing what to have for dinner.
Seeing Zhu Ge Yuheng enter with a serious expression suddenly, all four women were astonished.
"Uncle Zhuge, why are you here?" Chu Feifei quickly jumped off the sofa, barefoot in slippers, and asked.
"Feier, is Mr. Jiang at home?" Zhu Ge Yuheng asked anxiously.
"Uncle hasn't been home all day today, he hasn't come back yet!"
Saying this, Chu Feifei was also a bit depressed, Jiang Feng leaving home without a word for the whole day, becoming more and more outrageous!
Bang!!!
The unexpected response was like a sledgehammer to Zhu Ge Yuheng, dizzying him, nearly causing him to faint.
"Not home?" He was a bit listless, his face ashen, bewildered.
"Uncle Zhuge, what happened? Are you urgently looking for Uncle Jiang?"
Chu Feifei also noticed that Zhu Ge Yuheng was different from usual, promptly asking.
"It's urgent, can any of you contact him?" Zhu Ge Yuheng asked bitterly, casting his gaze inside, looking at Nangong Qingcheng and the other women.
The four women, without hesitation, all took out their phones, trying various ways to contact Jiang Feng, yet unsurprisingly, they all heard that Jiang Feng's phone was off.
"It's off, is Uncle Jiang busy with something?"
Chu Feifei wondered, "Why don't you come in and wait, Uncle Zhuge, maybe he'll be back soon!"
Zhu Ge Yuheng was even more grief-stricken, could this be fate?!
Following Chu Feifei absentmindedly into the living room, his heart was in turmoil and despair.
...
At the same time.
A garbage dump in the suburbs of South City.
This was originally where South City concentrated its garbage incineration, but not long ago, it was bought at a high price by a group of out-of-towners.
The original garbage dump owner and all the workers had been dispersed, leaving only those non-locals occupying it.
Xiao Yi's designated car was brought here, and the big man inside directly dragged the unconscious him out, like pulling a chick, into the junk warehouse.
Afterwards, Xiao Yi was fastened to a stool in the middle of the warehouse.
Gradually returning to consciousness against the tight bindings, Xiao Yi opened his eyes to see a large group of people standing before him!
Leading them were a man old and frail, and a burly man tower-like, both looking at him unfriendly.
Shocked and terrified, Xiao Yi struggled angrily, "Who are you people?"
"Don't worry, you don't need to know much; whether you survive the next hour depends on whether your father obeys or not!"
Jingang smirked, tilting his head, and immediately a hulking man came over holding a Nepalese military knife, pressing it to Xiao Yi's neck!
