Chapter 40 Cracks
Tang Bin's face slowly became gloomy. He slowly sat up from the sofa, stared at Zhou Jiyao and said, "Jiyao, do you have to argue with me today?"
Zhou Jiyao seemed to be afraid of Tang Bin. Seeing him pulling his face down, he endured it for a while, and finally laughed and said, "Old Tang, it's not that I'm serious, but that you are serious. To be honest, what else can we say between us?
Look, you know that your daughter is messing around outside, but you hide it from me. You know that I don’t want the police to intervene in Xiaohu’s case, but you go to Lu Tao to call the police behind my back.
I feel unhappy. To be honest, even if we can’t be in-laws, we can at least be friends, but we must be open and honest to be friends.”
Tang Bin did not want to listen to Zhou Jiyao's long speech, and interrupted him and said, "Jiyao, let's not talk about my daughter's affairs for now. I will only ask you if Tao Yajun is helpful to find Xiaohu. If there is no help, I will hand him over to the police. I am not trying to meddle in other people's business, but doing this will be beneficial to everyone."
Zhou Jiyao nodded calmly and said, "Of course I understand your hard work, but after talking for a long time, I don't know who this Tao Yajun is.
At present, I only know that he is Wan'er's lover. To be honest, if this person is really in my hands, he will leave it to you for Wan'er's sake. Maybe he will become your second son-in-law."
Tang Bin's face turned red and white, stared at Zhou Jiyao for a while, nodded, and said, "I'll say that, you can do it yourself."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the door, and halfway through, turned around and said, "Jiyao, I am no longer in office now. It is said that people are cold and tea is cold, and many things cannot be controlled. You can do it yourself."
Zhou Jiyao smiled helplessly and said, "Old Tang, look at you, why do you say such words? I'm just..."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Bin had already opened the door and went out. Zhou Jiyao stood there and was stunned for a while, and saw his assistant Yu Houhong walking in.
"What's going on? I met the old man at the door and his face seemed to be cloudy." Yu Houhong said puzzled.
Zhou Jiyao snorted, "Let me hand over his daughter's mistress."
Yu Houhong hurriedly said, "What do you say?"
Zhou Jiyao said: "Of course I didn't admit it. I know that Lu Tao asked him to give me eye drops, and he really came."
Yu Houhong said with a puzzled look: "In theory, the old man is also a sensible person, how could he run errands for Lu Tao?"
Zhou Jiyao sneered and said, "Do you think he is running errands in Lu Tao? If Tao Yajun didn't have an affair with his daughter, he would definitely not interfere in this matter. His purpose today is entirely for her baby daughter."
Yu Houhong interrupted and said, "I want to find some to go back, but there is no need for you to make a fuss about this matter. It will be no good for anyone to turn against you."
Zhou Jiyao snorted, "Because of this, I have been tolerating him for several years. Humph, he thought he could still call the wind and rain. However, I also know that at least it is not the time to turn against him. As long as the couple don't bully people too much, I will take this breath for the time being."
"So, Jianwei and Tang Wan have a divorce, so it's better to make some preparations in advance. Ouyang Yunsu has a big appetite." Yu Houhong asked.
Zhou Jiyao snorted and said, "If it were Jianwei, I would have nothing to say. At worst, I would have to blackmail Ouyang Yunsu. But now Tang Wan cheated first. I think Ouyang Yunsu has the face to negotiate with me."
Yu Houhong said cautiously: "Even this is the case, the outside world cannot know about this scandal, right? Once the divorce and Xiaohu's kidnapped are made public, it will be enough to make the outside world imaginary.
If the scandal of Tang Wan cheating is revealed, it may cause a bad chain reaction. Our current capital is not optimistic. I am worried that the most direct result may lead to a sharp fluctuation in the stock price. Once it reaches the closing line, we will be in danger."
Zhou Jiyao shook his head and said, "It should not be so serious. The industry knows that Jianwei has little influence in the company. Xiaohu's kidnapping and divorce may cause various speculations from the outside world, and even various rumors appear. But as long as I don't lose my position, the situation should be within a controllable range.
However, the face of my Zhou family is as important as the future of the company. The scandal of Tang Wan's cheating must not be made public. You must start to prepare to deal with the media's relentless pursuit and try to resolve this crisis.
Although people nowadays have a mentality of hating the rich, my grandson was kidnapped. Even if they don’t sympathize with him, they won’t be gloating. You can use the media to do more articles in this regard."
"What should I do with that person? It seems that he knows very little about the kidnapping case." Yu Houhong said in a low voice.
The muscles on Zhou Jiyao's cheeks twitched a few times and said sinisterly: "I really wanted to let that beast go, but after Old Tang came just now, I changed my mind."
Yu Houhong said in confusion: "Didn't he advise you to release others?"
Zhou Jiyao narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment, saying, "Jianwei and Tang Wan are about to divorce. If Xiaohu doesn't have any trouble, we can still maintain the relationship between the in-laws. But now Xiaohu's life and death are uncertain, and Jianwei and Tang Wan have become enemies again. When will this in-laws become enemies? I have to do some preventive work."
"Prevention work?" Yu Houhong said in confusion.
Zhou Jiyao whispered: "I can't let Tang Bin and his wife get out easily in this matter. Tang Wan is their precious daughter. She must take responsibility for Xiaohu's kidnap and the shameless things she did."
Yu Houhong still didn't understand it. Just as he was about to ask, Zhou Jiyao waved his hand and said, "Don't ask, I already know this. Your main task is to do a good job in crisis public relations and try to minimize the adverse effects."
As she was talking, Sun Qian pushed the door and walked in, took out a few photos and placed it on Zhou Jiyao's desk, and said, "Boss, I have figured it out. The old bitch from Tianfu Entertainment City really panicked to escape responsibility. She didn't see Xiaohu being picked up by anyone at all. The man was completely fabricated by her.
We found a passage to the downstairs room behind a set of facilities in the entertainment city. The downstairs room is a toy warehouse. In order to facilitate storage and access to toys, they specially cut an entrance and exit on the floor inside the entertainment venue, with a simple staircase below.
Just open the cover of the entrance and exit, and you can easily enter the toy warehouse downstairs, and then enter the freight elevator from there. The bottom floor is the back door of the shopping mall. Now it seems that Xiaohu was taken into the toy warehouse from this entrance and exit, and then robbed away from the back door."
"Can't anyone else see Xiaohu being taken away?" Yu Houhong asked in surprise.
Sun Gan picked up a photo, pointed to the device on it and said, "This is a set of equipment that imitates authenticity. Children like to drill around in it. The entrance and exit are right behind this tunnel. When the child reaches that location, others can't see it.
However, the entrances and exits are usually locked, and the keys are in the hands of two administrators. We found the administrator on duty that day, and she said she had never handed the keys to anyone else.
But now it can basically be concluded that Xiaohu was tricked into the entrance and exit by a person wearing panda props that day, and then took him away through the toy warehouse.
This person wearing panda toy is a girl with an accent from other places and is a temporary worker in the mall. It only took a week for her to play with the children in the entertainment city. Although the mall has made a simple registration, the materials are mostly fake. We have reason to believe that she secretly copied the administrator's key, so..."
Zhou Jiyao roughly looked at each photo, then waved his hand to stop Sun Gan from continuing, then lit a cigarette, squinted his eyes and pondered for a while, then said:
"Even if you figure out how Xiaohu was kidnapped, it would be useless. After so long, the people who should have disappeared have basically disappeared. To find them is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Sun Gan said in confusion: "What should we do next?"
Zhou Jiyao was silent for a while and said, "Let's stop here."
Yu Houhong said in surprise: "What? Do you mean to give up looking for Xiaohu?"
Zhou Jiyao nodded and said, "The kidnappers have not called. Obviously, they kidnapped Xiaohu not because of money, at least they have not asked us for ransom at the moment.
This has to make me suspect that this kidnapping is likely to be a conspiracy against me. Since this is the case, killing Xiaohu should not be their purpose.
The reason why they disappeared after kidnapped Xiaohu is that on the one hand it is for security reasons, and on the other hand it is also possible that they are waiting for some opportunity."
"You mean we are waiting too? Wait until the kidnappers come to the news?" Sun Gan said in confusion.
Zhou Jiyao shook his head and said, "It's not waiting, but completely giving up all actions in searching for Xiaohu. I already have a premonition that the police have targeted me again through the case of Xiaohu's kidnapping.
Any irrational behavior in the process of finding Xiaohu may be caught by Lu Tao. So, since my in-laws have reported the case to the police, then leave the search for Xiaohu to the police.
You send someone to tell the police about the new discoveries in Tianfu Shopping Mall Entertainment City, and ask them to continue investigating, and then don’t worry about this anymore. Remember, you have restrained your subordinates recently, and no one is allowed to cause trouble."
"What should I do with Tao Yajun?" Sun Gan asked.
Zhou Jiyao waved his hand and said, "I have to consider this matter again." He paused and asked, "Do you know Jianwei's whereabouts these two days? Why can't the phone be connected?"
Yu Houhong said: "It should be at my own home. I heard from the company that I haven't gone to work these two days, maybe I'm in a bad mood."
Sun Gan said, "Do I want me to send someone to his house to see?"
Zhou Jiyao waved his hand and said, "You guys are busy with it, I'll talk to him myself."
Half an hour later, Zhou Jiyao went downstairs and got into his luxurious Cadillac sedan. However, he did not bring anyone except the driver and personal bodyguard Yang Yi.
"Boss, where are you going?" Yang Yi asked.
