"Da Zhou!"
The moment Jiang Jie saw her man, tears began to stream down her face uncontrollably.
Jiang Jie had never imagined she would experience such a thing. Kidnapping! For someone like her to be kidnapped.
Alright, even as Yu Zhou's business grew larger and larger, Jiang Jie had never felt her status was anything special.
This was especially true after she started working at Tailong Light Industry.
She had simply been cycling home alone after work, as usual, when suddenly a few people had sprung out and taken her away.
Who knew if such a thing had ever happened to her man?
The thought sent shivers down her spine. Was being a boss and starting a business this dangerous?
"It's alright! It's alright!"
"Don't worry, I'll definitely find those scumbags and get revenge for you."
Yu Zhou held his wife tightly, afraid that if he let go, she would disappear from his embrace.
Fortunately, this time it was a scare without real harm. Otherwise, Yu Zhou would have been filled with regret. What a mess this was.
Looking at his tearful wife, Yu Zhou felt a pang in his heart. Even though he knew that this incident was likely targeted at him, and he had inadvertently dragged his wife into it.
Yet, the guilt and heartache still washed over him. No matter what, such a thing must never happen again.
"No, don't do anything for me!"
"Those people were so fierce. They wanted to attack me first, but you offered money, so they didn't dare to act."
"You must not provoke those people, they are not good people."
Even now, Jiang Jie was still thinking of her man.
In her eyes, her man was an honest businessman and absolutely could not do anything illegal.
And as for those desperate criminals, it was best to avoid them if possible.
Although Yu Zhou was beginning to gain some social standing in Jiangbei and was a decent boss, in Jiang Jie's eyes, her man was merely a startup entrepreneur.
While this status held some weight with many people, compared to those desperate criminals, they were the ones who truly couldn't be provoked.
If they were pushed too far, her man could be in grave danger.
This was a situation Jiang Jie absolutely did not want to see happen to Yu Zhou. Therefore, even though she had endured great hardship and anxiety for a long time, she still didn't want Yu Zhou to risk his life for her.
"It's okay, believe me, your man is no longer the powerless punk he used to be."
Yu Zhou affectionately stroked his wife's hair. He had to avenge this. No matter the cost, he would do it.
Otherwise, if all the thugs in Jiangbei knew that even the wife of Yu Zhou could be kidnapped and get away with it, how could he possibly continue to operate in Jiangbei?
Moreover, his wife had truly faced death this time. No matter what, he could not remain inactive.
"Mr. Yu, now that your wife has been returned to you, there are some matters that require your cooperation!"
Just as the couple was finally reunited, Deputy Director Zhong walked up to them, his expression stern.
Yu Zhou was momentarily taken aback, but then his gaze softened.
He owed this matter to Deputy Director Zhong. He was extremely grateful to this deputy director.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to find his wife and have her rescued within a single day.
Whatever these officials asked, Yu Zhou would cooperate.
However, what Deputy Director Zhong said next still made Yu Zhou pause.
"One of the two individuals apprehended was shot and killed, the other has already confessed."
"Their accomplices are hidden in a place even they don't know. Similarly, their accomplices are unaware of their hiding place."
"They must contact us every three hours. If they fail to do so, they will either flee or directly kill the hostage!"
"We have control of one of the kidnappers, who will contact their accomplices every three hours. We hear there are eight or nine of them."
"So, we'll have to trouble you to deliver the ransom when the time comes! As long as we don't reveal that your wife has already been rescued, it won't be too difficult to lure them out!"
Deputy Director Zhong finally revealed his plan. Simply put, they intended to use the ransom to lure out the kidnappers who were still in the shadows.
This was not a particularly unconventional operation, and Yu Zhou could completely understand it.
However, understanding it was one thing, and having to risk his own life was another.
Logically speaking, now that his wife had been rescued, Yu Zhou had no need to go along with these public officials on a dangerous mission.
But even so, Yu Zhou agreed without hesitation. It was just a matter of giving money and pretending to pay the ransom.
Even if they hadn't approached him, Yu Zhou would have proposed this himself.
Kidnapping his wife and expecting to get away with it was something Yu Zhou could absolutely not tolerate. Since they had the audacity to kidnap his wife, they had to be prepared for execution.
"Don't worry, I will cooperate fully. No matter what unexpected circumstances arise, this time, we will catch these scumbags!"
Yu Zhou immediately took out the one million cash he had prepared.
There were still two days until the agreed ransom deadline, but Yu Zhou knew very well that before then, the kidnappers would call periodically to confirm.
Therefore, whether it was an act or not,
He had to ensure he didn't reveal any flaws. Perhaps it wasn't an easy task, but to find these people and to get revenge, Yu Zhou would absolutely not hesitate.
"Thank you then! We will definitely catch those scumbags!"
The police officers were all moved. Sometimes, it is only when people have a broader perspective that they can truly accomplish great things. Right now, Yu Zhou gave them that impression.
Even though he was very agitated before, beneath his agitation, there was always a deep sense of calm. This was a quality that many highly educated people lacked.
But Yu Zhou possessed it, remaining unfazed even when Mount Tai collapsed before him.
