89 The Culprit

Luo Chen listened to Su Han’s scolding expressionlessly, still wondering how likely it was for him to kidnap Zhao Ruoshuang.

“…You’re really sick! If you want to find someone, go find them yourself! Why are you asking me?

Are we close enough to talk on the phone?

Besides, if she’s really with me, do you think you can find her?”

After Su Han finished cursing in one breath, he hung up the phone very happily.

Holding the phone that had already started to beep, Luo Chen was stunned for a long time.

He felt that Su Han’s words were a little strange, but he could not tell what was wrong.

Although Su Han’s attitude was very impolite, his words were flawless, and he did not reveal any information about Zhao Ruoshuang.

“No, that’s definitely not right… Did I miss something?”

Luo Chen was still unwilling to eliminate Su Han as a suspect so easily. He carefully thought about every word they had exchanged.

But after thinking for a long time, there was no result.

“Sigh…”

It was as if a huge rock was pressing down on his heart, making him unable to breathe.

If only there was a suitable person now who could secretly search for Zhao Ruoshuang’s whereabouts.

Although calling the police was also a solution, before confirming the other party’s goal, Luo Chen didn’t want to make a big deal out of it.

Naturally, when they were at their wits’ end, calling the police was the last choice.

After some thought, Luo Chen fished out a number from his phone.

It was Ye Bei.

“I just saved his life. I should still have this bit of face, right?”

After hesitating for a long time, he made the call.

No matter how bad his relationship with Ye Bei was, he had to work hard for Zhao Ruoshuang.

While waiting for the call to be picked up, Luo Chen’s mood was a little strange.

After all, as a villain, it felt strange for him to ask the protagonist for help.

“Hello?”

Soon, Ye Bei picked up the call.

Luo Chen had already thought of asking him for help, but he did not know what to say.

“Did you hit the wrong number? I’m Ye Bei.”

Ye Bei waited for a while, but when he realized that Luo Chen still didn’t say anything, he asked again.

“No, no. I want to ask you to do me a favor.”

Luo Chen gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, but he still said it.

Now, it was Ye Bei’s turn to fall silent.

The two of them remained silent. For a moment, they did not know what to say.

“Tell me first. What help do you need?”

In the end, it was Ye Bei who broke the awkward atmosphere first.

“I have a friend who has been kidnapped, and it’s not convenient for me to call the police, so I want to ask you for help to find her whereabouts. You just need to find her exact location. I’ll handle the rest.”

Luo Chen finished speaking in one breath and waited nervously for Ye Bei’s answer.

Actually, based on their relationship, it wouldn’t be a big deal if Ye Bei really refused.

However, Luo Chen could only ask him for help now.

According to the original novel, Ye Bei was a retired mercenary and was very powerful.

This ability should be able to be used to find people, right?

The small Jiang City was definitely not difficult for the protagonist.

Most importantly, Luo Chen did not see the plot of Zhao Ruoshuang’s kidnapping in the original novel. He did not know what would happen. If he acted rashly, it would only have the opposite effect.

In addition, there have been a lot of things going on in the company recently. He really did not dare to imagine what kind of destructive blow it would bring if the news of the President’s disappearance was leaked.

“Kidnapped? I advise you to call the police. Otherwise, it’ll be too late for you to regret it if something really happens.”

When Ye Bei heard this, his tone was a little impatient.

“No… At least, I can’t call the police now. If it’s not convenient for you, forget it.”

Luo Chen said.

If he could call the police directly, he wouldn’t need to ask Ye Bei.

However, if he really called the police, the development of the matter would not be under his control.

At that time, if something really happened to Zhao Ruoshuang, it would be a small matter if the company’s operations were affected. But if Zhao Ruoshuang’s life was really in danger…

“Do you have any information about your friend? The more detailed the better. Send it to my email.”

Ye Bei sighed faintly, but in the end, he agreed.

After all, he had just said not long ago that he owed Luo Chen a favor. He felt that it was not appropriate to reject him now.

“Alright! If this matter is settled, I definitely won’t treat you badly!”

Luo Chen’s eyes lit up!

With the protagonist taking action, the protagonist’s halo should be of some use.

As for the rest, he would think about it after this matter was over.

In any case, he didn’t have a deep friendship with Ye Bei, so he wouldn’t be too embarrassed to make a move.

After hanging up, Luo Chen quickly sent the relevant information about Zhao Ruoshuang.

However, he wisely hid her name.

And Ye Bei should also have an unspoken mutual understanding, so there was no need to worry about it being leaked.

This was the good thing about working with a protagonist. Their moral character could be guaranteed.

After doing this, Luo Chen heaved a long sigh of relief.

Before he could relax, there was a knock on the office door.

“Come in.”

He hurriedly adjusted his emotions and replied indifferently.

The door of the office was pushed open and the secretary walked in with a troubled expression.

“President Luo, I went to look for others according to your request, but one shareholder refused and made a fuss about wanting to see President Zhao. He said that he had something important to discuss with her.”

After being in a dilemma for a long time, the secretary stammered.

“Didn’t you tell him I asked you to convey the order like this?”

Luo Chen frowned slightly. He felt that something was wrong.

“I’ve already said it, but he’s still so persistent. He said that he has to see President Zhao.”

The secretary also knew how troublesome this matter was, and her tone was more or less depressed.

“…Alright, I’ll hold a shareholders’ meeting in the afternoon. You don’t have to worry about anything else. I’ll have to trouble you more during this period.”

Luo Chen had no choice but to agree.

During the last shareholders’ meeting, he suspected that someone was sowing discord. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have caused such a huge commotion.

If not for the fact that he had used the acquisition of shares to threaten them in the end, the matter would probably not have calmed down.

Now, right after Zhao Ruoshuang was kidnapped, someone was causing trouble. It was impossible for it to be a coincidence.

After the secretary left, Luo Chen slowly stood up, his eyes calm.

No matter who was trying to deal with him openly or secretly, he wouldn’t give up so easily.

“I want to see what abilities you have. Since you want to go against me, you have to be mentally prepared.”

He looked at the empty wall and muttered word by word.

Ever since he came to this world, Luo Chen thought that his mental state was still quite stable, but now, he was really angry.
