Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 407 - 406: The Reason and the Questions

"We just want to ask your husband some questions. You’d better not shout. Take your child to the room. Of course, if you want to call the police, go ahead, but it’s guaranteed that it won’t be us ending up in jail."

Gu Xiaoqing smiled gracefully, causing Xiao Wu’s wife to feel both fear and jealousy.

Gu Xiaoqing may not be beautiful, but the powerful aura and irresistible momentum she exudes makes her enviably different.

She considers herself a strong woman too, but in the eyes of others, she seems like a tigress, or a shrew.

Yet Gu Xiaoqing’s obviously violent behavior gives off an impression of calmness and elegance, which makes her awe-inspiring and enviable.

"What do you think, Mr. Wu?"

"Honey, take the child inside. They’re here for me."

Upon hearing Gu Xiaoqing’s tone, although Xiao Wu didn’t know how Gu Xiaoqing found him, he understood that things had been exposed.

Once his wife went to calm the child, Xiao Wu, with a bitter face, said to Gu Xiaoqing, "Miss Gu, please forgive me. I... I was just momentarily confused. Provoked by the other side, I took the wrong path." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"So, you’re confessing?"

"I... I..."

"I can spare you, Mr. Wu. But you must tell me where my father is being held. How many of them are there? What weapons do they have, and what is their background?"

Gu Xiaoqing didn’t expect Xiao Wu’s psychological defenses to be so low, but it was understandable; he was likely doing something like this for the first time.

"Really?"

Xiao Wu said in surprise. In fact, to be honest, Xiao Wu wasn’t someone with no psychological defenses at all.

If this had been a police raid, he definitely wouldn’t have admitted to his actions so easily.

The reason he did so was that he saw that Gu Xiaoqing had a man with a gun beside her. Who knows what this man does?

If this man were a fugitive or something, he really didn’t want to die without spending any money.

Moreover, his whole family was here; if something went wrong, he would have no heir. Although he had brothers and sisters, due to family planning, he only had one child. Under double pressure, Xiao Wu had no choice but to admit.

"If you come clean and help me rescue my father, I won’t report you. Not only won’t I report you, but I’ll also tell the police and give you some money as a reward."

Gu Xiaoqing’s methods puzzled Fang Shaohan; compared to him, this police officer, Gu Xiaoqing’s tactics were more direct to the heart.

"Of course, the premise is that you must write a confession, then sign it and stamp your fingerprint. This is insurance, in case you give us inaccurate information."

"Okay, okay, no problem. I’ll confess it all, I’ll talk! I’ll stamp my fingerprint. I’ll listen to you, Miss Gu. As long as you spare my family, I don’t want any money. Please, I beg you."

"Speak."

Bang!

Fang Shaohan pulled up a chair and sat in front of Xiao Wu, then deliberately placed the gun on the coffee table in front of Xiao Wu as a threat.

Bound tightly, without the slightest chance of breaking free, Xiao Wu obediently recounted everything.

It turned out that this guy hadn’t been drinking that day but had been arranged by Gu Xiaoqing in a hotel, leading his wife to suspect he was having an affair.

Later, even her whole family got heated, causing trouble for him from time to time, even having his brother-in-law come to the factory to see if he was close to any female workers or employees. This made him very embarrassed.

Heaven knows, he never had the slightest intention of fooling around outside. Moreover, everyone in the factory knew he was just a minor official, a nobody.

His wife’s family publicly humiliated him, making him feel extremely frustrated.

This wouldn’t have led to thoughts of kidnapping, but soon the factory decided to sell Wang Xiaoji to Gu Xiaoqing, and he was notified of his layoff.

He quickly went to his father-in-law, who still brought up the past, saying he was useless and couldn’t make money.

As they argued, he got angry and declared he would definitely make some money, not needing his father-in-law’s help.

Afterward... his wife’s family laughed at him and wouldn’t help him anymore.

Once, because the factory couldn’t negotiate a lower price, President Wang asked him to deliberately cause some trouble with some hooligans to urge the factory to sell this part of the business.

He told him that Gu Xiaoqing was holding at least five million, and since she was acquiring the entire business, the factory wouldn’t pay severance, only Gu Xiaoqing would. And if the acquisition price were lower, the severance given by Gu Xiaoqing would be higher.

Of course, this was just President Wang’s excuse.

He was merely after the hard-earned fee that Gu Xiaoqing had promised!

All his money was with his wife, and he was penniless, apart from the money Gu Xiaoqing had given him earlier; he had nothing else.

After finally finding a few hooligans, he had spent most of the money.

Seeing that he was about to become unemployed, and with no help from his father-in-law, his anxious feeling intensified. Thinking of the money Gu Xiaoqing had, he harbored ill intentions.

After the factory meeting had issued the formal decision, he contacted those previous hooligans again, planning to kidnap Gu Xiaoqing during the signing ceremony.

Originally, he wanted to lure Gu Xiaoqing out under the guise of a personal talk; after all, they previously had some connection, so it shouldn’t be difficult.

But who knew, on that day, Gu Xiaoqing was surrounded by people, with no chance for him at all.

He didn’t even get to see Gu Xiaoqing, let alone have a private talk. Successfully acquiring Wang Xiaoji, Gu Xiaoqing no longer needed him to pry open the factory’s doors.

Lurking outside the factory at a loss, Xiao Wu saw Gu Ruhai enter a small clinic nearby and had a sudden brainwave, calling someone to kidnap Gu Ruhai. He had no idea of the relationship between Gu Ruhai and Gu Xiaoqing.

It was only later, during the police investigation, that he learned Gu Ruhai was Gu Xiaoqing’s father, and that day Gu Ruhai went out to buy medicated oil because Gu Xiaoqing had sprained her ankle.

Upon knowing that Gu Xiaoqing had called the police and sprained her ankle, he immediately notified the people on that side, telling them to think of a new plan.

Thus, the kidnappers made significant slips during their second call.

"Can you take me to them?"

Gu Xiaoqing asked.

"No, no problem."

Gu Xiaoqing looked at Fang Shaohan, who nodded, "Don’t worry, leave it to me."

"I have one last question: why did you raise the ransom price?"

This was Gu Xiaoqing’s last question.

"Raise the ransom price? No, I didn’t, I... I don’t know." Xiao Wu was stunned. What kind of act was this? How could he possibly have unilaterally increased the ransom price?

"Shaohan..."

Gu Xiaoqing raised her head and murmured.

"Don’t worry, I promise to bring our father back, safe and sound." Gu Xiaoqing could only do so much; the rest was Fang Shaohan’s responsibility.
