Chapter 1774 - 1403: Kidnapping!

Since it's clear that it's still Qin Fang, these people definitely wouldn't leave without leaving a trace. Even if there are issues with the car and phone location, there must be other clues, like...Just as Qin Fang was pondering where the clues might be, his phone rang. The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number.

To be precise, it was obviously an internet call, with a number randomly generated, making it virtually untraceable...

Seeing this number, Qin Fang immediately thought of the kidnapping of Chu Yunxuan. He took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.

"Qin, your woman is in my hands... If you don't want her dead, prepare a fifty million US dollar ransom immediately..." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveI[F]ire.net

As soon as the call connected, before Qin Fang could speak, he heard a sinister voice. This wasn't a naturally altered voice but rather the result of a voice changer... The caller clearly didn't want to reveal their voice, making it much harder to trace.

The voice didn't really matter; what mattered was what the person said...

Without a doubt, this person was likely the kidnapper of Chu Yunxuan.

"Fifty million US dollars... I don't have that kind of money!"

Hearing the demand, Qin Fang frowned slightly, then immediately put on a surprised and agitated expression.

Fifty million US dollars is an enormous sum, equivalent to more than 300 million RMB, which is something not every billionaire can easily produce.

But to demand such a huge amount from the start was truly terrifying to hear...

Of course, it's not that Qin Fang couldn't come up with such a sum. In fact, even if it were double, he could still manage it.

However, Qin Fang clearly couldn't agree so easily, not because he was stingy, but because he needed to buy as much time as possible...

"Don't play dumb with me! You know how much money you have... Fifty million US dollars is a lot, but not enough to make you this alarmed!"

Though Qin Fang's acting was fairly convincing, the caller seemed to know Qin Fang's background very well, bluntly dismissing Qin Fang's words and giving a very stern retort.

"I'm not going to waste words with you, fifty million US dollars... My Swiss Bank account is xxxxxxxxxx. I'll give you a day to prepare it. By this time tomorrow, I expect you to have transferred the fifty million to my account... If not, I can't guarantee your little beauty will still be alive..."

The kidnapper seemed either unwilling to say more or worried Qin Fang might have something prepared. Without saying much else, they stated their intent clearly and even provided their bank account...

"How can I be sure Yunxuan is really with you..."

Qin Fang's expression didn't change much. This was all within his expectations. He couldn't say these things aloud, so he continued trying to negotiate with the kidnapper.

"And a little reminder, don't try to play games with us... We're a group of desperate criminals. Push us too far, and anything could happen! Your little beauty is so stunning that we're itching to get our hands on her. If we don't get the money, my brothers won't be polite before we leave..."

Unfortunately, this kidnapper had no interest in negotiating with Qin Fang. They immediately issued a stern warning and quickly hung up the call, leaving Qin Fang with nothing but a busy tone!

"Damn it, bastards..."

This made Qin Fang so angry he almost smashed his phone, but he remembered the importance of the situation. Now wasn't the time for tantrums.

"Lai Wen, how's it going? Did you track them down..."

The call was cut off, and Qin Fang's face was quite grim. He immediately called Lai Wen.

Other wealthy individuals facing such situations might choose to ignore it or gather money, but Qin Fang wouldn't choose either of those paths.

Chu Yunxuan was Qin Fang's woman, and now that she's in the hands of kidnappers, Qin Fang would do whatever it takes to rescue her and certainly wouldn't give up.

As for gathering money, Qin Fang had enough cash on hand, so he didn't need to raise money...

Thus, these options didn't apply to Qin Fang, leaving him ample time to prepare for the rescue operation.

The first thing he did was call Lai Wen, believing that Lai Wen might have some findings.

Though the kidnapper didn't speak long and the voice was altered, Lai Wen, being a world-class hacker, should at least succeed a little in such a minor task; otherwise, it'd be a disgrace to his "Ghost" title.

"The opponent is very cunning, with a strong counter-reconnaissance awareness. But we did find a little clue... The exact location isn't fully determined yet, but there's a general range!"

Lai Wen wouldn't let Qin Fang down. Since Qin Fang and Ji Xiang conspired against those assassins, Lai Wen had already secretly installed a small tracking device on Qin Fang's phone.

It's usually used to track Qin Fang's whereabouts, facilitating secret deployments, preventing Qin Fang from being ambushed.

Another purpose is to monitor target persons, mainly to address sudden events... Like the current situation.

When Qin Fang answered the call, Lai Wen stopped what he was doing, focusing on listening to the kidnapper while swiftly operating to trace the call source!

"What range?"

Initially, Qin Fang didn't have much hope, given the kidnapper's caution and the abrupt call, Qin Fang barely managed to say a word... and even then, the kidnapper ignored it.

But now hearing that Lai Wen had a range, his spirits lifted a bit, and he eagerly asked...

"The Light Club at the south suburb..."

Lai Wen immediately shared what he had found with Qin Fang.

"The Light Club?"

Originally, Qin Fang anticipated the destination might be some remote, desolate place, but it turned out the person was operating out of this club, leaving Qin Fang feeling deeply helpless.

Jiangzhou being the largest city in Dragon Country, with its rapid development across various industries, means more wealthy people, especially in a bustling metropolis like Jiangzhou, where they're countless.

As the number of wealthy individuals increases, such clubs gradually thrive, and in a large city like Jiangzhou, luxurious clubs aren't just one or two but several with recognizable names...

For instance, the Drunken River South controlled by The Green Gang, the Northern Scenery Club managed by Northern big shots, etc., and the Light Club Qin Fang heard about now is one of Jiangzhou's top luxury clubs, no less prestigious than Drunken River South, Northern Scenery...

The Drunken River South is under Jiangzhou Qing Gang's control, with Northern Scenery having some Northern big shots' influence, while the Light Club has several Huxi powerful figures in the background...

Qin Fang didn't fear these big names in the shadows; his priority was saving a life. Rescuing Chu Yunxuan came first, and the rest would depend on the situation.

Though Qin Fang might seem harmless usually, he was now burning with rage. Whether Huxi's powerful figures were involved or not, Qin Fang was determined to storm the Light Club...(To be continued.
