Chapter 98: Dirty Heart(1/2)
Zuoban stepped into the puddle, and the legs of the new trousers were splashed with sewage. He did not turn around and change his pants, and did not want to see his newlywed wife's unkempt appearance. He grabbed a handful of paper from the car and wiped it on the legs, and threw the waste paper into the trash can at the gate of the yard.
“It rained last night?”
He looked up at the sky. The sky was blue and the sun was shining brightly. He was still a little dazzling. He was happy at the spring night, but he couldn't be happy. He had no intention of appreciating the beauty of spring. He just wanted to rush to the law office as soon as possible and let his busy work fill his empty heart.
In order to prepare for the wedding, Zuoan has not appeared in the law firm for a month. When he walked to the front desk of his own law firm, he was stunned for a moment. A new man had changed into a front desk. A handsome and innocent boy stood up politely to say hello to him.
Zuo Ban nodded. Although he didn't know the new front desk, the new front desk could know him, which made him feel honored.
His father Zuo Yaonan is never late. Even if there is a court defense that day, he will go to the law firm to drink a cup of kung fu tea before appearing in court.
Zuoan asked his assistant to learn about his father's itinerary that year. The assistant came back and said that Zuo Yaonan had made an appointment with a customer to meet at the company at 10 o'clock this morning and would have to go on a business trip to Nandu for two days in the afternoon.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Zuo Yaonan invited the client and he still didn't arrive. He still turned off his phone when he found him. Now Zuoan began to be anxious. He was worried that something had happened to his father. The big customer he asked for was holding a big case of nearly 100 million yuan, and his father could not ignore it.
Zuoan believes that he has little experience and cannot give him face to his big customers. Only by asking his mother to come forward can he calm the anger of the client for breaking the appointment.
Zuoan hurried to the office to ask his mother Jiao Ruifeng. When he opened the door and saw her mother sitting on the boss's desk, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to speak when Jiao Ruifeng's cell phone rang. He just had to shut up first and stand at the door and wait for his mother to finish the call.
Jiao Ruifeng saw that the caller ID of her husband Zuo Yaonan was from her tight face, and her muscles trembled. She picked up the phone and didn't rush to answer, and wanted the other party to taste the feeling of waiting anxiously.
"Um."
Jiao Ruifeng's voice was humming from her nose, and she wanted her husband to know that she was angry. Zuo Yaonan must apologize solemnly for the complete failure before she could see whether to forgive him.
Unless he goes on a business trip, Zuo Yaonan never spends the night outside.
Hearing the other party talking, Jiao Ruifeng stood up.
Seeing his mother's nervous and fearful expression, Zuoan hurried to her mother. Jiao Ruifeng signaled her son not to speak, and put his phone in his ear and didn't want to miss every word the other person said.
Putting down the phone, Jiao Ruifeng seemed to be a clay man who had pulled off the bracket and fell softly on the leather chair.
"Mom, what happened? Who is the caller?"
Zuoban thought that his mother was intimidated. Some lawyers would offend some people, and it was inevitable that they would be intimidated and harassed.
"You, dad was kidnapped."
Jiao Ruifeng covered her face with her hands and her brain was rotating rapidly. The kidnappers refused to let her call the police. As a lawyer, of course he knew that calling the police was the only way to solve the problem when they encountered kidnapping and extortion.
When he heard that his father was kidnapped, Zuoban's head sounded loudly. After a while, he thought about saving his father. He asked his mother what the kidnapper said.
Jiao Ruifeng put down his hands covering his face and said slowly: "The kidnapper wants three million yuan in cash. After preparing the money, he will notify the contact location and time tonight."
"What should we do?"
The kidnappers will definitely threaten the consequences of calling the police. Of course, Zuoban will not ask about the details of his mother. He said what to do casually, but he already had an idea in his mind. He first stabilized the kidnappers and sent the money to let his father return safely, and then found a way to hunt down the kidnappers.
"Call the police, call the police immediately."
Jiao Ruifeng picked up his mobile phone and called 110. It was too late for Zuoan to grab his mother's cell phone, and his mother had already reported her name and address.
"Call the police is equivalent to letting my dad die. Why are you confused? The kidnappers are different from those in the past!"
Zuoan felt that his mother was still a woman and was not rational enough when encountering things.
Suicheng has not had a kidnapping case for many years. After receiving the call, Xiao Nan immediately went to Zuo Yaonan's office.
After learning about Zuo Yaonan's situation before his disappearance, Xiao Nan concluded that Zuo Yaonan should have been kidnapped after his son's wedding, between 8 pm and early morning.
"I thought Lao Zuo was talking to his friend, and he would usually go home very late. So I didn't think about it badly if I couldn't contact him last night."
Jiao Ruifeng is determined to provide more clues, but she really can't speak. Zuo Yaonan has no fixed lover, but dewy love is like a sprinkler truck and stay wherever she goes.
The police officer found a photo of a beautiful woman in Zuo Yaonan's office drawer. Xiao Nan was shocked to see the beauty in the photo. Zuoan was even more shocked and snatched the photo from the police officer. Looking at He Zhi in the photo, his eyes almost burst into flames. He could suspect that any man in this world is in love with He Zhi, but he never thought that his father would belong to He Zhixin.
"This is He Zhi!"
Of course Jiao Ruifeng recognized He Zhi. She snatched the photo from her son, and the expression on her face changed.
A man hides a photo of a woman, of course he doesn't want others to discover his hidden relationship. His husband actually got along with He Zhi, and his son was also confused about He Zhi, which only shows that He Zhi was clever.
"She, how could she get along with Lao Zuo..."
The photo was distorted and deformed in Jiao Ruifeng's hand, and Xiao Nan stopped it in time.
"Zuo Yaonan is your husband. Now he is in danger of his life. We should look for all clues to save him, rather than doubting his character here. We should not just use a photo to show that he has a relationship with He Zhi."
Of course it is not a wise move to expose one's family scandal in front of outsiders. Jiao Ruifeng kept silent. The left bank was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. While blaming his mother for calling the police too hasty, he was worried about raising less than three million cash.
When He Zhi arrived at the police station, Xiao Nan showed her the photo from Zuo Yaonan’s desk drawer. Seeing the original photo, He Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is not me, you see there is a beauty mole on her neck."
The girl in the photo smiled and looked at the camera, her pure appearance was as warm as the gentle breeze and drizzle. He Zhi could be sure that she was as cold as she was when she was seventeen years old, and she would definitely not smile sweetly when she looked at the camera.
"It's really hard to spot this beauty mole if you don't pay much attention."
Ke Yang pointed to the photo and saw a black mole the size of a small yellow grain on the side of the girl's slender jade neck.
"Who would it be if the person in the photo was not He Zhi? What is the relationship between Zuo Yaonan and this girl?"
Xiao Nan smiled lowly and didn't say anything. She found that Jiao Ruifeng was very secretive about Zuo Yaonan's private life. It was estimated that Zuo Yaonan was a romantic person. The girl in the photo should have a different relationship with Zuo Yaonan. However, she could not tell Ke Yang and He Zhi about these words. She could not tell Ke Yang and He Zhi that Zuo Yaonan was kidnapped. The kidnappers were waiting for Zuo Yaonan's wife and children to redeem the people with cash.
"How do you plan to find Zuo Yaonan?"
Ke Yang hopes that his special pearl abilities can help Xiao Nan solve the case, but he doesn't have much clue on how to use his special abilities. The only thing that is certain is that if Zuo Yaonan has passed away, he can sense clues around Zuo Yaonan's relatives.
"At present, we can only investigate the places where Zuo Yaonan has appeared and people who have been in contact with before he disappeared, while letting his wife and son pay attention to any information related to Zuo Yaonan."
Xiao Nan planned to secretly search for information about the kidnappers while asking Jiao Ruifeng and Zuoan to wait for the kidnappers to contact, and strive to take the kidnappers down and rescue Zuo Yaonan when they contacted the kidnappers.
"Thank you very much for coming here to confirm the photos."
Xiao Nan stretched out his hand to He Zhi.
She had just been transferred to the criminal investigation police force of the High-tech Development Zone and received such a major case. Before the newly recruited police officers were in place, she could only second two former colleagues, so busy that she was so busy that she hit the back of the head.
Seeing that Xiao Nan had no intention of asking him to participate in helping, Ke Yang was not inconvenient to ask for it.
"I don't think Xiao Nan told us the truth."
He Zhi sat in the car and looked at the scenery passing by outside the window, and suddenly said.
"Oh, what did you find? Do you think Zuo Yaonan is dead?"
"No, I'm not sure if Zuo Yaonan is dead, but I'm sure Zuo Yaonan is not missing, but kidnapped. If Zuo Yaonan disappears, news will be heard soon, but there is no news of Zuo Yaonan's disappearance on the Internet now. Only the kidnapping case will be worried about the kidnappers tearing up votes to block the victims.
Xiao Nan said that Zuo Yaonan's wife and children should pay attention to Zuo Yaonan's information, which was obviously asking them to wait for the kidnappers' notification. Let's go to the law firm to check it out, their law firm is nearby."
"It makes sense. You have to be promoted to the police recruitment this time. You are so talented!"
Ke Yang did not know Zuo Yaonan, so of course he felt much more relaxed than He Zhi. He turned his head and found that He Zhiruo looked out the window thoughtfully. He didn't dare to joke anymore. He could understand He Zhi's mood when he took the recruitment exam and did not want to be hired. He was also worried that working with He Zhi in the same place in the future would not be able to control his deeper and deeper feelings for He Zhi in his heart.
Zuoan heard his assistant saying that someone at the door of the law firm wanted to see him, but he was not in the mood to meet anyone now. In order to avoid alarming the case, the police officers in charge of the case kept him and his mother calm and working as usual. His work as usual today was to raise money.
"I'm busy with no one."
"It's a man and a woman."
"I said no one would see you!"
Zuoan glared at the male assistant. He could be sure that he had no appointments when he came to work on the first day after marriage. Those who came to him temporarily either promoted or made trouble.
"Why are you still staring at me stupidly? Go out!"
Zuoan didn't understand why his mother recruited male staff in the past two years. The only beauty in the front desk has been replaced by a man recently. The man is not as caring and meticulous as an assistant. He almost yelled out.
The male assistant was scolded and hurried out of Zuoan's office. After a while, he turned back and stood at the door and knocked lightly twice. Seeing Zuoan looking up, he quickly laughed and said:
"She said her name is He Zhi, and she has something to do with you."
"He Zhi?"
Hearing He Zhi's name, Left Bank stood up reflexively. It was because he went to He Zhi's house to show off on the way back yesterday that the extinguished love and passion in his heart rekindled again.
Now, I came here in person. Did He Zhi regret it when she saw me marrying a little wife yesterday?
It should not be possible!
Zuo An shook his head, feeling that at this time, he shouldn't have thought about his love and passion. His father's life was hanging in front of him. If his father was gone, his beautiful and brilliant future would be ruined.
"Call her in."
Zuoan sat down with a serious expression, thinking that He Zhi's photo was hidden in his father's drawer, and he could confront He Zhi in a while.
He Zhi and Ke Yang walked into Zuoan's office. Zuoan had already stood up and pretended to greet He Zhi. At this time, he saw Ke Yang behind He Zhi, and he sat down with the table.
"What's the matter with me?"
The left bank first said that it was a business-oriented person.
"Is this how Lawyer Zuo entertains guests?"
He Zhi smiled slightly. Although she didn't like Zuoan, since she came to do a serious matter, she certainly would not bother with Zuoan, and even the smile on her face would mean to relieve her past grudges.
The mood on the Left Bank became complicated.
He Zhi is a gentleman and open-minded attitude, but he is still dirty and always wants to take revenge on He Zhi. In comparison, he is as good as a swan and a sparrow.
"Please sit."
It was too late to say that the word "Please sit" from the Left Bank, He Zhi had already sat on the chair opposite him. Ke Yang stood beside He Zhi, without any intention of sitting down. He looked at Left Bank with a relaxed and comfortable look, as if he was enjoying an exhibition painting.
