Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 406 - 405: Doorstep Raid

That’s why Gu Xiaoqing erased President Wang’s suspicion, because when her father disappeared, the first person she contacted was President Wang.

At that time, she blurted out ’my father’ during the phone call!

This is the part where Gu Xiaoqing always felt something was off.

"When we talked for the first time, besides President Wang and me, only my father was outside, and the only one who could access the price I offered was Xiao Wu."

"I’ll notify Kang Bo right now."

Fang Shaohan picked up the phone; he didn’t care if it was late at night.

"Also, I think Xiao Wu has already contacted those people once during this period. Because the first time they didn’t know my foot was sprained, they asked me to deliver the money. The second time, they clearly connected the fact that my dad bought safflower oil and that my foot was sprained. After all, buying safflower oil doesn’t necessarily mean a sprained foot."

Gu Xiaoqing added a sentence, making Fang Shaohan utterly engrossed, and he even thought it was a pity that Gu Xiaoqing wasn’t in criminal investigation.

This is simply extraordinary talent!

This reasoning made even a police officer like Fang Shaohan bow in admiration.

Actually, this was because Fang Shaohan overly esteemed Gu Xiaoqing, as Gu Xiaoqing had an overview of the situation. Plus, she really couldn’t just bring this bad news to her mother and sister on her own, so she forced herself to think over and over about these recent days.

If you can discover some new things after reading a book three times, then Gu Xiaoqing thought about it all day long, until now, three in the morning.

"I’ll call Kang Bo."

Fang Shaohan was also a decisive person. Gu Xiaoqing’s reasoning made sense, although it wasn’t his jurisdiction now, he felt it was enough to have Kang Bo bring the person in for questioning.

"Wait, Shaohan."

Gu Xiaoqing held back Fang Shaohan: "We don’t have any evidence, at most just a barely plausible motive."

"Even so, we still need to ask."

"He definitely has connections with those people, but he is not the kind of person who would personally kidnap my father. Even if you question him, he has ample proof that he wasn’t on the scene."

Gu Xiaoqing calmed down, feeling that if this really followed police procedures, it would become extremely inefficient.

The transaction time is tomorrow noon, she must know the hiding place before tomorrow noon.

"But you also said that the content of the two phone calls varied greatly. He must have contacted them, and he even knows their hiding place."

Fang Shaohan didn’t understand why Gu Xiaoqing didn’t want to save her father, and now seemed to be slackening? This wasn’t the Gu Xiaoqing he knew.

"Just listen to me first."

Gu Xiaoqing paused, her expression becoming calm and composed: "Even if you call him for questioning, even detain him, it would only be 24 hours at most. If he persists, we’re sure to get nothing, and we’d alert the adversary, who would then relocate their hiding place."

"That... is true, but do you have any other plans?"

Fang Shaohan knew well that the matter might turn out like this, but he had no other solution than this.

"The only way is for us to act ourselves."

Gu Xiaoqing looked at Fang Shaohan, thankful he came, but would he agree with her idea?

"Act ourselves?"

"That’s right, we negotiate with him. He wants money, I give him money; he wants to break free, we give him the reason to escape."

Gu Xiaoqing said to Fang Shaohan.

"If you insist, then alright."

Fang Shaohan wasn’t opposed to this approach, because he knew following procedures has a lot of restrictions and wastes too much time.

Sometimes, when handling such kidnapping cases, he also had the impulse to bypass procedures and use every means to make the opponent speak.

But, such an impulse was never as strong as this time before.

If anything happened to Gu Ruhai, Gu Xiaoqing would be heartbroken, and he didn’t want to see the one he loves in grief.

Being a police officer for so many years, even if he hadn’t done anything unconventional, he’d seen more than enough. He wasn’t fundamentally averse to it.

Gu Xiaoqing’s worries were redundant.

After getting Xiao Wu’s address, Gu Xiaoqing, supported by Fang Shaohan, had Manager Wang find a car, and Fang Shaohan drove there.

Xiao Wu couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night either, and learning that the police were involved, he panicked. He thought to himself, what was he thinking getting involved in something like this?!

"Honey, are you sick or what? Sleepwalking in the living room in the middle of the night?"

"Ah? I was just, just thinking about something. By the way, are you going back to your parents’ house tomorrow?" Xiao Wu asked.

"Of course, didn’t we agree on this?"

"Oh, it’s nothing, I’ll take you guys back in the morning." Xiao Wu felt uneasy and thought it best to send his wife and daughter back to her parents’ house first. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"You’re being weird, just come to bed."

The woman said discontentedly.

Just at that moment, suddenly the security door was pounded loudly. Xiao Wu’s face instantly turned ashen, and the teacup in his hand fell to the floor with a crash.

"Who is it, in the middle of the night?"

The woman groggily got up, ready to open the door.

"No, I’ll go, I’ll go open the door." Xiao Wu hastily stood up from his chair, barely bothering with the shattered teacup, and quickly went to open the door.

"Who is it?"

He cautiously called out.

"Director Wu, sorry to disturb you."

Gu Xiaoqing’s voice came from outside the door. She wasn’t afraid Xiao Wu would run, because here on the sixth floor, there was nowhere to climb outside unless he wanted to risk his life escaping via a transformer pole.

After a while, Xiao Wu sheepishly opened the door and saw Gu Xiaoqing and a strange man.

"Miss Gu, you, why are you here?"

"I want to talk with you."

Gu Xiaoqing hobbled inside on her one good leg as Fang Shaohan grabbed Xiao Wu and pressed him onto the sofa.

"Who are you people, late at night..."

Click!

"If you shout another word, believe it or not, I’ll bust your head."

Fang Shaohan controlled Xiao Wu, and reluctantly played the villain by pulling out a gun to threaten the woman not to scream.

Then he found a rope to tie Xiao Wu up.

Doing this, although it didn’t match his identity, he had worked with Interpol, where unusual circumstances often required extreme measures.

The goal was simply to scare the woman. If she did scream, he would have to knock Xiao Wu out and gag the woman immediately.

He thought it was best not to use force if possible.

Such intimidation made the woman slump to the ground, too frightened to utter a word. Xiao Wu, also terrified, quickly pleaded with Gu Xiaoqing: "Miss Gu, Miss Gu, please, please don’t hurt my family."

"Mom? Dad?"

At that moment, Xiao Wu’s young child called out from inside, unknowingly walking out from the room.
