The strong scent of perfume hit Wu Tian, and he was startled, instinctively wanting to push away the beautiful secretary.
But before he could make a move, the office phone rang.
When Yang Huilan was away, the beautiful secretary had to answer the phone to avoid missing any important matters.
So, even though success was imminent, the beautiful secretary subconsciously paused, then walked over with a hint of displeasure to answer the call.
"Hello, this is President Yang's office. What can I do for you?"
Her tone was a bit sharp, as anyone would be unhappy if a good thing was interrupted.
A deep voice came from the other end of the line: "Hello, are you Yang Huilan's secretary? Is anyone else next to you?"
Upon hearing this, the beautiful secretary immediately frowned: "Who are you? How dare you call President Yang by her name? What do you mean by that!"
The voice on the other end chuckled: "You'd better be more polite. Yang Huilan is already in my hands. Do you want to be captured by me too?"
"What did you say?!"
The beautiful secretary screamed, "You mean you kidnapped President Yang?!"
The voice continued to chuckle: "Kidnapping is not the right word. I just invited her over to play."
"Of course, if you don't do as I say, then I'm sorry, your President Yang might not be able to come back."
The beautiful secretary's face instantly turned pale.
What else could this be? It was clearly a kidnapping!
Her delicate body began to tremble, almost dropping the phone.
At this moment, Wu Tian walked over to her, gestured for her to stay quiet, and then put the phone on speaker.
Wu Tian's appearance finally put the beautiful secretary a little at ease.
She cast a pleading look at Wu Tian, and Wu Tian nodded, signaling her to continue.
She swallowed hard and, bracing herself, said, "What, what do you mean? What do you want me to do?"
"I'm telling you, you, you absolutely cannot do anything rash!"
The voice on the other end chuckled: "Don't worry, as long as you listen obediently, I definitely won't do anything rash."
"At three o'clock this afternoon, bring ten billion to Anxiang Forest to find me. As long as the money is in place, I will return her to you."
"But you cannot call the police, nor can you involve anyone else."
"If I find out you've done something wrong, then I'm sorry, you and your President Yang can just perish together."
The beautiful secretary's mind went blank, and she was so scared she almost cried.
With a tearful voice, she said, "Ten billion? Where am I supposed to get ten billion from!"
"I'm just a secretary, I don't have that much authority!"
The voice said, "Yang Huilan's office has a safe, you know that. The password to the safe is her birthday written backward."
"There's a bank card with ten billion inside. Take it out and give it to me."
"That's all I can tell you. Go get the money."
After speaking, the other side didn't say anything further and hung up the phone.
Hearing the beeping sound, the beautiful secretary lost all interest in flirting with Wu Tian.
She anxiously said to Wu Tian, "Mr. Wu, what should we do now? Should we call the police!"
Wu Tian's expression was grave as he shook his head, "No, we can't call the police. It's too dangerous."
"Since they dared to kidnap someone, they must not be good people. If they say they'll kill her, they might actually do it!"
The beautiful secretary said urgently, "Then what should we do?"
"Am I really supposed to bring ten billion? I, I wouldn't dare!"
Wu Tian pondered for a moment and said, "Let's not talk about that for now. Tell me, where is the safe?"
The beautiful secretary nodded and then led Wu Tian to the bedroom inside Yang Huilan's office. The safe was placed in a corner of the bedroom.
Wu Tian walked over, asked for Yang Huilan's birthday, and then entered the password from the phone onto the keypad.
Indeed, with a click, the safe opened!
Inside was a bank card, which seemed to be the so-called ten billion in cash.
Seeing this, the beautiful secretary quickly asked, "Mr. Wu, what do you mean? You're not actually going to hand over the money, are you?"
"What if we give them the money, and they still don't release her?"
Wu Tian frowned, not replying immediately.
He hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
How could Yang Huilan have been kidnapped so inexplicably?
This was no small matter; if the money couldn't be obtained, people could die!
So Wu Tian dared not be careless. He put the bank card back and locked the safe door.
"You don't need to go," Wu Tian said in a deep voice. "Leave this to me. I'll go alone this afternoon."
"You're going alone?" The beautiful secretary was greatly surprised.
She said worriedly, "But isn't that too dangerous? Besides, they want money, why did you put the bank card back?"
Wu Tian said, "It's impossible to give them money, but at the same time, I must bring her back!"
The beautiful secretary was stunned. She stared blankly and said, "Mr. Wu, what do you mean?"
"You want to go rescue her directly? No, that's too risky!"
Wu Tian said, "If not like this, then what other options do we have now?"
"Don't worry, I'm enough to go alone. I will definitely bring President Yang back."
The beautiful secretary stared at Wu Tian blankly.
Although she didn't know why Wu Tian was so confident, she couldn't help but blush slightly when she felt the aura emanating from him.
She nodded and said, "You are Mr. Wu, and I am just a secretary. You must consider things more thoroughly than I do, so I won't say anything more about what you want to do."
"But if something happens, you must find a way to contact me. I will call the police immediately!"
Wu Tian nodded and said, "I understand."
Since the matter was decided, after lunch, Wu Tian headed to Anxiang Forest.
Anxiang Forest was located in the suburbs, a place where few people went. There used to be a factory there, which later became abandoned.
Wu Tian drove at high speed, his mind filled with confusion.
He had never said it, but with Yang Huilan's personality, she would definitely not yield, so she wouldn't reveal the information about the safe and the bank card.
But how did the other party know this information?
And they said it so confidently, as if they had confirmed intelligence.
Wu Tian felt that this was definitely not that simple, but he would only know the specifics once he got there.
