Chapter 169: Kidnapping!
Chapter 169: Kidnapping!
On July 1st, the summer solstice has passed, and the busiest time of the year has finally arrived.
Schools are closing one after another.
After studying hard for half a year, the young students finally walked out of the cage and saw the light of day again.
They may take to the streets, doing nothing but feeling relaxed and at ease.
Or you can go out for a trip, see the beautiful mountains and rivers, and enjoy your youth.
Or they may understand their parents' hard work, share the burden with them, and go to work in a factory early.
Everything is so prosperous and harmonious.
Occasionally, girls working in milk tea shops would recognize Jiang Nian and, filled with joy, would take photos with him.
Jiang Nian smiled faintly and agreed happily, then returned to the car with the two cups of milk tea that the girl had filled with toppings.
"You see, my affairs have no impact at all."
After closing the car door with a click, Jiang Nian handed the milk tea to Yang Mi and said with a smile.
As a person who was reborn from the afterlife, he knows too well what the Internet is like.
Don't be fooled by the criticism he receives online.
But once this thing is over, people will forget it.
When I see him in real life, I have to politely call him teacher, or even ask him for a photo like I did just now.
Hearing this, Yang Mi rolled her eyes while drinking her milk tea:
"Come on, forget it. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have hired some trolls to stir up trouble for you the moment the college entrance examination results were released. In addition, the Education Bureau of Heilongjiang Province announced the top 50 college entrance examination scores. With the situation a few days ago, you would have been kicked out as soon as you walked in!"
"I know. Otherwise, why do you think I didn't even go out for some time and only came out now?" Jiang Nian asked with a grin.
"Virtue!"
Yang Mi sneered, then thought of something and looked at Jiang Nian and said, "Come to think of it, after your college entrance examination results came out, many famous schools have contacted me during this period. Tsinghua University and Peking University have invited you to study at their schools. What do you think?"
Jiang Nian raised his eyebrows slightly: "What? Now you don't say that Tsinghua University and Peking University have nothing to do with my acting career?"
After hearing this, Yang Mi was stunned, and then she realized that Jiang Nian was mocking her for not believing that Jiang Nian could be admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University a month ago.
She pushed Jiang Nian angrily and said, "You're going to die. Given the situation at that time, how could I believe you if you said you wanted to get into Tsinghua or Peking University?"
"So you're saying I did something wrong?"
Jiang Nian is always unyielding.
Yang Mi paused again, and then said angrily: "Get lost, stop playing tricks on me. I just want to ask you one thing, have you decided which university to go to? Give me a definite answer, and then I will contact you, understand?"
"Ah, okay, okay."
Seeing that Yang Mi was getting anxious, Jiang Nian didn't say much about this matter. He just pondered for a moment:
"If it's a university, then Beijing Film Academy."
"I remember that you graduated from Beijing Film Academy, which is your home field. When I go to school there, I will ask you to help me. This should not be a problem, right?"
Jiang Nian gave his answer.
"Are you sure?" Yang Mi asked, "Although I did say before that Tsinghua University and Peking University won't help you much, they are the top universities in China after all. If you have the chance, it would be better to go there, right? Besides, with your current acting skills, going to Beijing Film Academy won't improve much."
Since Yang Mi didn’t understand Jiang Nian’s abilities before, she naturally preferred to let Jiang Nian go to a school with stronger technical skills.
Now I have seen Jiang Nian’s ability, he is the best in the province.
This naturally made her change her mind, and she felt that it was a pity that Jiang Nian did not go to Tsinghua University or Peking University.
Hearing this, Jiang Nian could understand her thoughts, but he still said the same thing:
"Need not."
"You said that Beijing Film Academy won't improve me, but change your mindset. If I go to Tsinghua University or Peking University, will that improve me in any way?"
"My brother is an idol, a star,"
"You want me to go to Tsinghua University or Peking University. What will I do after I go there? Will I stop being a celebrity and do academic research?"
Although with Jiang Nian's current abilities, this is not a big problem.
But there is no need!
What's more, his system is an acting and martial arts system.
For him, doing this is a completely thankless task.
Hearing this, Yang Mi wanted to say something, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.
She nodded: "Okay, when I get back to the company later, I will help you contact Beijing Film Academy."
"Ah."
Jiang Nian nodded.
Then I drank milk tea, picked up my phone, opened VX out of habit, and swiped it twice.
He has a lot of messages on VX.
Most of them came to congratulate him after learning that he had scored the top spot in the college entrance examination.
If it was two days ago, Jiang Nian might have saved trouble by simply editing a message and sending it to a group of people, just to get the matter over with.
After all, he doesn't even have time to practice martial arts.
I don't have the time to chat with them.
But yesterday, Jiang Nian practiced all of Lin Pingzhi's skills to perfection.
The situation changed after the comprehension level was raised from 5 to 6 and there were no more characters to train.
Jiang Nian is very idle.
He can spend plenty of time chatting and talking nonsense with this group of people.
Therefore, he enjoys holding his mobile phone and replying to messages.
Seeing him like this, Yang Mi did not disturb him, but just looked out the window and drank milk tea.
But at this moment, Jiang Nian suddenly raised his head, looked at Yang Mi and asked, "Sister Mi, have you seen Lao Zhang these days?"
"Ok?"
Hearing this, Yang Mi exclaimed: "Zhang Linyu? What's wrong?"
"I just suddenly realized that this guy hasn't contacted me for several days, so I came to ask you."
Jiang Nian said.
He just discovered this when he was replying to the message.
Since a month ago, he asked Zhang Linyu to investigate the Sunshine investor.
Zhang Linyu would basically send him a message every day to report on the current situation.
But since the 23rd until today, Zhang Linyu has not made any movement.
This made Jiang Nian feel very strange.
In response, Yang Mi shook her head: "I really don't know. I have been by your side during this period. I told you directly when there was a work arrangement. I didn't need him to help pass the message, and I haven't contacted him. Why don't you give him a call and ask?"
"it is good."
Jiang Nian nodded, then opened the address book, found Zhang Linyu's number and dialed it.
A long busy tone sounded.
But no one answered.
After a while, the phone was hung up by itself, and Jiang Nian's brows were tightly furrowed.
"problem occurs!"
He murmured something.
Hearing this, Yang Mi was slightly stunned. She looked at Jiang Nian in surprise: "It's not that serious, isn't it? He just didn't answer the phone. Maybe he was busy. Can't he just call again?"
"No, it's not that simple."
Jiang Nian shook his head.
As your own agent.
Jiang Nian knows Zhang Linyu very well.
As long as I call him, no matter what Zhang Linyu is doing now, even if he is playing duo with Xiaomei to gain points, he will answer the call within ten seconds.
Missed call, no answer.
This has never happened before!
But this time it broke the precedent.
“Is there something wrong with the investigation?”
Jiang Nian said to himself.
Before Zhang Linyu lost contact, he was investigating the Sunshine investor. He opened the chat box with Zhang Linyu, and the last message Zhang Linyu sent him was, "Brother Jiang, I found the home of this investor, but I have been squatting here for several days, and this investor rarely goes out."
Combine this information together.
"Whatever happens, turn around and go to the airport."
"I remember Zhang Linyu was last in Qing City. Let's go take a look."
Jiang Nian said immediately.
Hearing this, Yang Mi was completely confused.
Although she didn't know why Jiang Nian was making such a fuss.
But seeing Jiang Nian's serious look, he didn't say much. He just nodded at the driver, indicating that he should do as he was told. Then he took out his mobile phone and bought the nearest flight to Qing City.
Three hours later.
In an apartment building by the sea in Qing City.
He used the password Zhang Linyu had sent him earlier to open the combination lock.
Jiang Nian and Yang Mi walked into the house one after another.
As soon as they entered the house, what they saw was the extremely clean room.
The house Zhang Linyu rented was a standard one-bedroom, one-living room, one-bathroom apartment, and it was extremely airy.
You can scan the whole house at a glance.
The made-up mattress was slightly wrinkled.
A white short T-shirt was casually draped on the sofa.
The clothes and underwear hanging on the balcony swayed gently in the wind.
There were three or four cigarettes in the ashtray and a half-empty bottle of water on the table.
"Isn't this okay?"
"I guess he just woke up and went out."
“Jiang Nian, you are just making a fuss!”
Seeing the scene in the room, Yang Mi breathed a sigh of relief and said to Jiang Nian.
Zhang Linyu's rental house is so clean and tidy, it's obvious that nothing is wrong!
Jiang Nian was so nervous that she thought something had happened.
Unexpectedly, after hearing her words, Jiang Nian shook his head.
"You are wrong. This is not nothing. This is a big problem!"
"Don't you think this house is weird?"
Jiang Nian said, his expression extremely serious.
Yang Mi was slightly stunned, then she looked around the house carefully, her face full of confusion: "Isn't this house very normal? It can't be strange just because it's normal."
"you are right."
Jiang Nian nodded, then walked into the living room, looked at the sofa with a white T-shirt on it, pointed at it and said, "Do you know what this means to a man?"
"What?" Yang Mi asked.
"Wardrobe!"
Jiang Nian said.
"It's no exaggeration to say that if a man rents a house with a sofa, the clothes he changes into at any time will not appear in the closet, but will be stacked on the sofa like a strawberry tower."
"But Zhang Linyu's sofa only has a short T-shirt on it."
"Do you think that's right?"
"Of course, if you think what I said is a bit forced, then let me give you a simpler example. You also smoke. Look at this ashtray. Do you find anything wrong?"
Yang Mi looked at it carefully, and soon he hissed, saying:
"Why are there no ashes next to his ashtray?"
"Wait, you don't mean..."
"That's right." Jiang Nian nodded, with a strange look in his eyes: "What we are seeing now is all artificially disguised!"
This may sound a bit like conspiracy theory.
But this is indeed the fact.
And, apart from these minor issues.
The smell in this room is also very chaotic!
Jiang Nian didn't notice it when he first came in.
Now that he had stayed in the room for a long time, with the keen sense of smell brought by a first-class warrior, Jiang Nian caught the very faint smell diffused in the air.
"four people."
"Why is this happening?"
Jiang Nian frowned.
He just asked Zhang Linyu to investigate who was the boss behind this Sunshine Capital.
How could it lead to a home invasion kidnapping?
As for this group of people, they are Zhang Linyu’s friends and they just came to find Zhang Linyu this time.
Jiang Nian didn’t think about it at all.
After all, which friend coming over would clean up your house so neatly and cleanly?
It’s already good enough that we don’t build a pigpen for your house!
Yang Mi obviously also realized this.
So he looked at Jiang Nian and said in panic: "Jiang Nian, what should I do? Should I call the police now?"
"No, we don't have any clues right now. Calling the police might alert the enemy. Let's search the house first to see if Zhang Linyu has left anything useful."
Jiang Nian rejected Yang Mi's proposal.
This is not because he wants to show off or be heroic.
But things have come to this, and he must prepare for the worst. That is, he and Yang Mi may have been noticed when they came to Zhang Linyu's apartment this time!
It would be helpful to call the police at this time.
But the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.
At the very least, it would make the group of people who kidnapped Zhang Linyu more vigilant and capture him in no time.
In serious cases, Zhang Linyu might even encounter an accident because of this incident.
Hearing this, Yang Mi didn't think much about it.
Jiang Nian is now her backbone. She will do whatever Jiang Nian asks her to do, so she quickly started searching Zhang Linyu's apartment.
As for Jiang Nian, he was not idle either, searching with Yang Mi.
The two of them rummaged through the boxes and cabinets.
Soon, Jiang Nian found a lighter that had fallen under the bed!
Seeing this, Jiang Nian's eyes lit up, he quickly picked it up to check, and soon showed joy on his face: "Found it!"
"what?"
Yang Mi hurried over, but when she saw that Jiang Nian was holding only a lighter in his hand, her eyes dimmed instantly: "What? Just a lighter."
"No, no, no, this is not just a lighter, it's a camera with a USB drive!"
Jiang Nian said with a smile.
In his previous life, there was a huge organization on the Internet called 91.
This group of people can always come up with some awesome videos that ordinary people can't get.
The means they use are similar to the one in Jiang Nian's hand, which looks like a lighter but is actually an inconspicuous little object like a camera!
The reason why Jiang Nian knew about this.
Zhang Linyu once said this when he was chatting with Jiang Nian and mentioned what he said when he was a private detective a few years ago.
Jiang Nian felt it was very novel, so he wrote it down. He didn't expect it would come in handy at this time.
Without wasting any time, he took the lighter and operated it. Soon, under Yang Mi's astonished gaze, the lighter really turned into a USB flash drive as Jiang Nian said.
"Did you bring your computer?"
Jiang Nian asked.
"Take it, take it!"
Yang Mi nodded. As the boss of the company, in order to facilitate work, she always carried a laptop with her wherever she went.
She quickly took it out of her bag and handed it to Jiang Nian.
Jiang Nian turned on the computer and inserted the USB drive.
I opened the file on the USB drive and searched for it. Soon, the photo of Mr. Xu handing over documents to a Japanese in the Japanese school came into view.
Looking at the Japanese words on the document, Jiang Nian's expression became serious:
"Fuck that bastard!"
"How dare you do such a fucking thing!"
