As soon as she went down, Qiu Xi saw the slightly plump counselor, with two police officers standing beside her.
"Teacher."
"Qiu Xi, come, don't worry, the police officers are just here to ask you a few things."
Before coming, Counselor Zhang had inquired. Although she didn't know the details, she at least knew that her student hadn't done anything wrong.
"Teacher, I'm fine."
Qiu Xi was indeed calm, as she felt she hadn't done anything wrong.
"Mm, come."
"Qiu Xi, right?"
The two police officers, a man and a woman, were very gentle.
"Mm."
Before asking, they also comforted the young girl, "Don't worry, we're just here to inquire. It's not a big deal."
"Okay, please ask."
"Well, we received a report saying someone hired them with a large sum of money to kidnap you..."
"What! Kidnap me? That's impossible..."
"Officers, will I be okay? I..."
Well... thinking she should act the part, Qiu Xi truly pretended that the incident with the Mao Da brothers hadn't happened.
"Don't worry, you are safe now. We are here precisely for this matter."
"The person who hired them is a second-generation rich kid named Zhao Dongsheng. Do you know him?"
After comforting her, the two police officers continued to ask.
"I... know him, but I only know his name."
"Then how did you learn about him, and do you have any grievances?"
Qiu Xi truthfully replied, "No. My cousin told me this name. He was preparing to join a company upon graduation. The company had some money and wanted to use backdoors for someone, so they kicked my cousin out."
"Mm, besides this, anything else?"
"Mm... no..."
"However, there's one more thing, I don't know if it's related..."
"Tell us."
"Before the New Year, my cousin came to my house and mentioned this Zhao Dongsheng."
"Because my cousin has achieved some success now, Zhao Dongsheng also wanted to get involved in his project's finished product, but my cousin refused."
After Qiu Xi finished speaking, the two stopped writing and asked again, "Anything else?"
Qiu Xi shook her head, "No. I haven't even seen what this guy looks like, let alone anything else."
"Alright, that's all for today. Please leave your contact information, and we'll contact you if there are any developments."
"Okay."
"Officers, you must investigate thoroughly, or I'll be scared..."
Before she could finish, the police officer responded, "Don't worry, we will definitely investigate properly. You don't need to worry about your safety either."
"Mm, thank you, officers."
Watching the counselor leave with the two police officers, Qiu Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This matter seemed to be settled. Now, it was up to her cousin.
"Xiao Xi, what happened?"
"Are you okay?"
Seeing that the counselor and police officers had left, the three people beside her quickly caught up.
Just now, because the police needed to question her, they had to stay on the sidelines. Now that they were gone, of course, they had to come forward.
Looking at their worried faces, Qiu Xi smiled and told them, "It's nothing, don't worry."
However, after thinking about it, she decided to tell them about it.
She wasn't afraid of anything else, but she was afraid that Zhao Dongsheng would become desperate.
The only people she was close to in Chongxi City were these three. She wasn't worried about her master, because from the beginning, her master was protected by the Nan family.
"What!"
"This is worse than a pig or dog!"
Before she even finished listening, Song Daiyao exploded, and Shen Yan also became indignant.
If people didn't know better, they would think they were the ones being kidnapped.
"Xiao Xi, are you really okay?"
Liang Yunfei, however, was a bit calmer, but she still confirmed multiple times.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
"Even if someone really comes, I'm not afraid!"
"No! If you go out recently, you must go together!"
"Okay!"
After much discussion, the three were still worried and finally agreed on these protective measures.
Although the three were still concerned, Qiu Xi felt very comforted.
This was not only because the problem was about to be solved but also because of these three good sisters.
Therefore, feeling comforted, Qiu Xi immediately pulled the three to work hard.
"Alright! You're worrying too much. Let's go study!"
"..."
The three of them hadn't expected that just when they were talking about sharing hardships, the real-life version would arrive immediately.
"Okay..."
...
Jinhai City.
Just as Xu Xuanming had predicted, as soon as Qiu Xi's situation concluded, people arrived for him.
However, the progress was smooth, and they were sent away in no time.
"Boss, when are we letting him out?"
After the person who asked questions left, Liu Wei quickly approached.
"No rush. Let him enjoy himself for a while longer. He probably won't have such good days in the future."
Xu Xuanming looked into the distance, seemingly lost in thought. His expression was calm, but his words were far from it.
Liu Wei had followed Xu Xuanming for a long time and felt a chill all over him, let alone the others behind him.
For some reason, they felt even more that their boss was still someone not to be trifled with!
Absolutely not to be provoked!
Otherwise, a deduction in salary might be the least of their worries.
"Alright! We'll listen to the boss."
Although the methods were a bit harsh, everyone knew that Zhao Dongsheng was not a good person!
Or rather, he wasn't even human!
So, this work they were doing had no impact on them.
"Let's go, time to get to work."
"After this is over, I'll take you all out for a good meal to reward you."
Xu Xuanming came back to his senses, looking at his brothers, and felt a sense of emotion.
They had known each other for so long and had been through so much together over the past year.
Xuanxing could achieve what it had today because of them.
Although their daily lives were a bit unreliable, each of them was a lone wolf.
However, their skills were impeccable and extremely impressive, otherwise, they wouldn't have attracted a big shot like Zhao Dongsheng.
It was a pity that he would now become nourishment for everyone.
"Boss, you're serious!"
"A promise is a promise! Boss, you won't regret it!"
As soon as Xu Xuanming said this, a group of people, led by Liu Wei, cheered excitedly.
Their boss was usually stingy and miserly.
Now that he said he was treating them, they had to make sure to get a good meal!
Xu Xuanming chuckled, "Look at you all. I said it!"
"Alrighty~"
"Time to work~"
"..."
What a bunch of silly fools...
...
After Xu Xuanming's intervention, things proceeded very smoothly.
However, when he reviewed it later, he found that Zhao Dongsheng seemed to be caught in the net even faster and more miserably than he had anticipated!
It was as if someone had secretly pushed a hand from behind...
