Tang Xin Wan had been kidnapped!
This was something Ye Cang Tian had never expected. If you were to ask who would kidnap Tang Xin Wan, the most likely culprits would be Ba Tian Hu and Guo Hai.
This was because both of them had grudges against Ye Cang Tian!
However, Ba Tian Hu had died at Jin Xiu Villa, and Guo Hai had died at the mouth of his own Tibetan mastiff just this morning, so it naturally wasn't them.
He then thought of the silver-masked middle-aged man. If it was truly that person, then this matter would be very tricky.
Of course, if it were the silver-masked middle-aged man or the Dark Association, then their primary objective in holding Tang Xin Wan hostage would be to target him.
On the way to the new factory in the southern suburbs, Ye Cang Tian had called Liu Ru Mei, asking them to help find clues.
The taxi driver drove very fast, speeding, running red lights, and disregarding everything, because Ye Cang Tian had directly given him a thousand yuan for the fare.
As a result, a journey that would normally take over an hour was completed in less than half an hour.
Tang Xin Wan's Maserati was still parked by the roadside.
Li Da Zhuang was pacing anxiously, his face full of worry and regret, occasionally slapping himself.
Seeing Ye Cang Tian get out of the taxi, he immediately rushed over, stuttering his self-blame, "Big Brother, it's my fault, I... I actually lost Sister-in-law!"
Seeing him about to slap himself again, Ye Cang Tian grabbed Li Da Zhuang's hand and said sternly, "Speak properly, what happened?"
Li Da Zhuang then explained the whole story.
The matter, to put it simply, was due to his carelessness. Although he was very diligent and others hitting him wouldn't provoke him, because the other party had smashed Tang Xin Wan's car, it had made him angry and he had chased after them.
He hadn't expected that he would still fall for their trap!
Not only did Li Da Zhuang fail to catch up to the guy, but when he returned, Tang Xin Wan was gone.
After listening to the other party's explanation, Ye Cang Tian fell into thought.
From this perspective, Tang Xin Wan was likely not taken by people from the Dark Association. Although Li Da Zhuang was not weak, at best, he was only slightly stronger than the Six Great Vajras.
The other party hadn't acted directly in front of Li Da Zhuang, but had instead lured him away before kidnapping Tang Xin Wan. This indicated that these people were not very strong.
Or, they were simply ordinary robbers.
At this moment, several cars sped over from a distance. It was Liu Zhen Dong, bringing people.
After Ye Cang Tian explained the situation to him, Liu Zhen Dong arranged for people to collect surveillance footage from various routes in nearby factories.
He, on the other hand, directly called the office of Hai Tian Pharmaceutical and asked if Tang Xin Wan had been in contact with anyone recently.
Finally, Tang Xin Wan's female assistant told him that Tang Xin Wan had met with Chairman Tao of the Jiangnan Province Pharmaceutical Commercial Association yesterday, and after the meeting, Tang Xin Wan returned with a bad complexion, seemingly having been put in a difficult situation.
This immediately made Ye Cang Tian suspicious of him.
Liu Zhen Dong walked back from a distance and said urgently, "Mr. Ye, we've checked the nearby surveillance. Indeed, an unlicensed black Santana appeared, and one of the cameras even captured the scene of Miss Tang being kidnapped."
He played the copied footage on his phone.
This surveillance camera was quite far away, but it still clearly showed the events that occurred at the time.
A Santana deliberately blocked the road, forcing Tang Xin Wan and Li Da Zhuang to get out of their car. Then, one person appeared and lured Li Da Zhuang away. Later, three more people appeared and directly kidnapped Tang Xin Wan.
Liu Zhen Dong frowned, "These four people should not be from Yangzhou. I've had people investigate, and no one has seen the four people in the surveillance."
Ye Cang Tian lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and finally said in a deep voice, "I need to go to the provincial capital!"
Liu Zhen Dong was startled, "Mr. Ye suspects that these kidnappers are from the provincial capital?"
Ye Cang Tian didn't answer, as he wasn't entirely sure himself. However, an important piece of information that the female assistant had given him suggested that Tang Xin Wan's disappearance might be related to that Chairman Tao.
"Mr. Ye, how about this, we'll accompany you. I have a good relationship with a big shot in the provincial capital, and perhaps through them, we can find some clues," Liu Zhen Dong said after some thought.
His thoughts were now the same as Liu Ru Mei's. The key figures in their ability to turn the tables a few days ago were precisely Ye Cang Tian.
Without him, not only would Jin Xiu Villa have been unable to resist, but he and Liu Ru Mei might have both died at the hands of Ba Tian Hu.
Therefore, for any matter concerning Mr. Ye, he would absolutely not shirk his responsibility.
Ye Cang Tian nodded, not refusing. Although his strength was great, when it came to finding people, people from the underworld were indeed more helpful.
Soon, he got into Liu Zhen Dong's car, and then said to Li Da Zhuang, "Da Zhuang, you go back first. Don't blame yourself too much, this isn't your fault!"
Li Da Zhuang was indeed very self-reproachful. After all, he had promised Ye Cang Tian that he would definitely protect his sister-in-law's safety, but in the end, he couldn't even handle this small matter well.
He looked up at the cars that were already speeding away, wiped away a tear, and murmured, "If Sister-in-law truly meets with any misfortune, I won't be able to face Big Brother!"
...
As the car drove on the highway, Liu Zhen Dong had also contacted his friend in the provincial capital.
"Mr. Ye, the identities of those four people have been found!"
Liu Zhen Dong explained, "The four of them are indeed from Su Hang City. They have been arrested and taken to the detention center multiple times for theft and robbery. I heard they had also planned a kidnapping recently."
Ye Cang Tian was somewhat surprised. That friend of his was truly extraordinary, finding out the identities of those four in such a short time.
This was actually the advantage of the underworld. Those who mingled in the shadows had contact with all sorts of people.
Sometimes, their information was even more accurate and faster than what the police found!
This time, Ye Cang Tian did not notify Xu Wei Wei. After all, Tang Xin Wan was still in the hands of these thugs. Once the police intervened, what if these guys were pushed to desperation and killed her?
"If they were to return to Su Hang City after kidnapping Miss Tang, they would definitely not take the highway. This way, perhaps we can reach Su Hang City before them!"
Liu Zhen Dong said, seeing Ye Cang Tian frowning. He continued, "Mr. Ye, don't worry. My friend has already given instructions. As soon as there's any news or whereabouts of them, they will notify us immediately."
"En!"
Ye Cang Tian took a deep breath. He also bore responsibility for Tang Xin Wan's disappearance this time.
If he had followed her when Tang Xin Wan went to the new factory in the morning, such a thing would not have happened.
After more than three hours, they arrived in Su Hang City, the capital of Jiangnan Province.
Here, Liu Zhen Dong also got out of the car to meet his friend, a powerful figure in the underworld named Zhou Yuan.
