Seeing the phone hang up, Chen Fan didn't hesitate for a moment. He pushed open the private room door and rushed out.
Inside the private room, everyone exchanged bewildered glances.
"What happened?"
"It seems something happened to Director Qin."
"Let's go, we should follow and see if we can help!"
Zheng Hairong, who had sobered up a bit after being splashed with water by Chen Fan, suggested. The group then left the private room in a large procession.
After leaving the private room, Chen Fan inquired about Qin Shuran's whereabouts from several service staff.
The service staff all claimed not to have seen her. Chen Fan then asked a service staff member to check the women's restroom, but Qin Shuran was not found there either.
"Shuran."
Chen Fan's face was filled with anxiety. He had never been this scared before. He worried that Qin Shuran might be in danger, as he had heard intense hatred in the other party's voice.
The middle-aged man's voice had been very hoarse, and Chen Fan couldn't identify him.
After asking the service staff and confirming that Qin Shuran had not left by elevator, Chen Fan knew that she must still be in this sky restaurant.
Half an hour had passed since Qin Shuran left the private room, and he only had five minutes, so Chen Fan had no time to check the surveillance cameras.
Holding his breath, Chen Fan stood in the corridor of the sky restaurant, observing all the private rooms on this floor.
However, Chen Fan couldn't find any sign of Qin Shuran.
"Director Chen, what exactly happened? Where is Director Qin?" Zheng Hairong asked.
Chen Fan shook his head.
"Then let's split up and search. You guys check the private rooms on this floor, and we'll go upstairs," Zheng Hairong instructed.
At this moment, a young surgeon said, "Dr. Zheng, I remember this sky restaurant has a rooftop observation deck, right? Why don't I go up and take a look?"
Upon hearing the young surgeon's words, a service staff member quickly responded, "The rooftop observation deck is closed for repairs."
Closed?
These three words suddenly startled Chen Fan, and he quickly looked towards the rooftop.
The next second, Chen Fan was already rushing towards the rooftop observation deck.
"Director Chen!" Zheng Hairong and the others also hurried to follow.
On the rooftop observation deck, a middle-aged man in a suit held a rope in one hand and a bottle of white wine in the other. His jacket was discarded to the side as he sat on the edge of the roof.
Beside him sat a ceramic urn and a beautiful young woman, who was also tied with a rope.
The woman's eyes showed panic, but she remained somewhat composed.
She looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Are you the father of that Xiao Ran, Vice President Xiao?"
The middle-aged man took a gulp of white wine and reached out to stroke the ceramic urn in front of him. "Miss Qin, you have sharp eyes. I am Xiao Jianyang, Xiao Ran's father."
Although Qin Shuran found the man somewhat familiar, she was still surprised when he admitted it himself.
Xiao Jianyang before her was nothing like his former demeanor as vice president. He was disheveled and looked extremely haggard. If not for the suit he was wearing, she might have mistaken him for a beggar on the street.
Qin Shuran asked, "Vice President Xiao, why did you kidnap me?"
A cold smile appeared on Xiao Jianyang's face. "Hmph, why did I kidnap you? Don't you know yourself? If it weren't for Chen Fan, my son would never have died! I want him to experience what it feels like to lose someone he loves."
"Don't worry, I won't let you die so quickly. I want him to watch with his own eyes as the person he loves falls from this height of several hundred meters and perishes, so that he lives the rest of his life in guilt."
Hearing Xiao Jianyang's words, a look of horror flashed in Qin Shuran's eyes, and she tried to break free.
However, Xiao Jianyang's grip on the rope was firm, and Qin Shuran couldn't move an inch.
Qin Shuran said indignantly, "Do you know this is a crime?! And Chen Fan has nothing to do with Xiao Ran's death. He hired someone to kill him. Even if he hadn't fallen from the building, he would have died anyway!"
"Smash!"
Xiao Jianyang smashed the empty wine bottle in his hand, saying with malice, "So what? I just want you to die! I want that Chen Fan to be in unbearable pain!"
"Stop!" However, at this moment, Chen Fan's figure rushed out from the stairwell.
A group of people followed closely behind him.
When everyone saw the scene before them, they were all shocked. Even those who had been drunk sobered up instantly.
Zheng Hairong quickly ordered, "Quick, call the police!"
The service staff following behind were also terrified and ran back.
Seeing Chen Fan and the others, Xiao Jianyang seemed surprised. He glanced at his watch. "Two minutes. Chen Fan, you truly surprise me. You found us so quickly."
Chen Fan's expression was tense, and he had already taken out a few silver needles.
"Xiao Jianyang, let Shuran go. My grievances are not with her," Chen Fan said coldly.
"Hahaha!" Xiao Jianyang let out a bitter laugh.
Then, he looked at Chen Fan mockingly. "Not with her? Chen Fan, you killed my son, cost me my job, and my wife divorced me. It's all because of you. I've lost everything! And you? I heard you've been promoted to director and found a beautiful girlfriend."
"Do you know why I chose her? I want you to experience the feeling of watching the person you love die before your eyes, while you are powerless!"
Xiao Jianyang's emotions were extremely agitated. Several times he pulled the rope around Qin Shuran, nearly causing her to fall over the edge.
"Xiao Jianyang, calm down!" Chen Fan shouted anxiously.
Seeing Chen Fan's nervous demeanor, Xiao Jianyang laughed with excitement. "Hahaha! Chen Fan, you're nervous? Heh, you know what? The more nervous you are, the more comfortable I feel."
"Xiao Jianyang, you're crazy! Do you know who Qin Shuran is? Her father is..." Zheng Hairong, standing beside Chen Fan, pointed at Xiao Jianyang and shouted angrily.
As the director of surgery at the Third Hospital, he had been a strong contender for the position of vice president. Xiao Jianyang had known him for a long time.
However, before Zheng Hairong could finish speaking, Xiao Jianyang interrupted, "I know who her father is. Isn't he the head of the Qin family, Qin Hongguo? So what?"
A cold glint flashed in Xiao Jianyang's eyes. He pointed to the ceramic urn beside him and continued, "Zheng Hairong, I told you, my son is dead. He's become a pile of ashes in this urn! My wife is gone, and I've lost my job. What do I have to fear in this world anymore?! Let alone that she's Qin Hongguo's daughter, I'm not afraid of Qin Hongguo himself!"
"Chen Fan, today, I will fight you to the death!"
