"It's about Qin Hai Group," Liu Hua said.
"No need, I'm no longer the security captain of Qin Hai Group," Zhou Hong said with a wry smile.
"What if it's related to Qin Changhui? Don't you want to know?" Liu Hua asked.
"The chairman and I are no longer related, but since you've already said it, tell me. What happened to him?"
"Qin Changhui might not have long to live," Liu Hua said quickly.
"Not long to live? What's going on?" Zhou Hong's expression changed slightly.
"Yes, this morning, Qin Changhui didn't arrive at the company on time. He had a meeting at nine o'clock, but he never showed up. His phone was also turned off. Just a moment ago, I received news that Qin Changhui has been kidnapped. The kidnapper is demanding ten billion from the Qin family, otherwise, they will kill him. The entire company is in chaos. According to what I've heard, the Qin family is unwilling to pay ten billion for his ransom, and many members of the Qin family, like Qin Dingyuan, are actively sabotaging the ransom efforts, so Qin Changhui is likely to die."
Zhou Hong was a little shocked that something so serious had happened to Qin Changhui. However, the kidnapper demanding ten billion was simply outrageous. But what did this have to do with Zhou Hong? If he were still Qin Changhui's son-in-law, he would have no choice but to go and save him. But now... on what grounds could he save him?
"Alright, Liu Hua, the Qin family will handle this matter. It's not for outsiders like me to interfere. I have some good news for you, too," Zhou Hong said quickly.
"What good news?"
"You can resign tomorrow and come to Jinzhou University to study with me."
"Are you kidding me?" Liu Hua was stunned.
"Who's kidding you? I said I'd transfer you in sooner or later. I've already spoken to the department head, and he agreed to have you come to Jinzhou University. Come tomorrow, and you'll be in the same class as me."
"Really? I can attend a prestigious university too?" Liu Hua found it hard to believe.
"Of course. That's all for now. I'm hanging up."
Zhou Hong hung up the phone.
Soon, Zhou Hong returned to the classroom.
"Wuwuwu!" As soon as Zhou Hong entered the classroom, he heard a girl crying. A group of classmates were surrounding her, comforting her.
The person crying loudly in the classroom was none other than Qin Mengxue.
"Mengxue, don't cry. Uncle Qin is a blessed man, he'll be fine," Qiao Xiaoyu said, trying to comfort her.
"Yes, Mengxue, crying won't help. The most important thing now is to be strong."
The surrounding classmates also offered words of comfort.
Hearing their comforting words, Zhou Hong couldn't help but sigh.
It seemed the news of Qin Changhui's kidnapping had reached Qin Mengxue.
"Wuwuwu, you don't understand. The kidnapper wants my family to pay ten billion for the ransom, ten billion! How could the people in my family be willing to pay? My dad will definitely be killed," Qin Mengxue said anxiously.
The classmates who had gathered around also sighed. Indeed, it wouldn't be easy for the Qin family to come up with ten billion for the ransom. For some members of the Qin family, they might even wish Qin Changhui would die.
"Mengxue, don't be so pessimistic. Your father is such a shrewd businessman. The old man of your family will definitely pay the ransom," Qiao Xiaoyu comforted her again. Sudan Novel Network.
"You don't understand. Some people in my family would rather the kidnapper kill him. If you don't believe me, look at our family group chat. See what they're saying."
Qin Mengxue placed her phone on the table. Her phone screen was now displaying the family group chat. Indeed, in the family group chat, there was no sign of anyone being anxious.
"In any case, I absolutely will not agree to pay ten billion for the ransom," said someone named Qin Dingyuan.
"I don't agree either. Qin Changhui has bad luck and was kidnapped by the kidnappers. He can't drag the entire family down. If we pay ten billion, our family will be half-dead."
In the family group chat, one comment followed another, all expressing disagreement with paying such a large sum for the ransom.
Zhou Hong sighed softly.
He felt a sense of helplessness.
Although he no longer had any relationship with Qin Changhui, he had once called him "Dad." If he stood by and did nothing, letting Qin Changhui be killed by the kidnappers, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself.
"Fine, fine. I'll save him one more time," Zhou Hong said to himself.
Without another word, Zhou Hong immediately left the classroom.
For Zhou Hong to save Qin Changhui, it was quite simple. He only needed to use a spell, the Heaven and Earth Unlimited Tracking Technique. Then, no matter where the kidnappers were hiding in the city, he could easily find them.
However, a few days ago, Zhou Hong had used a lot of his vital energy to save Yang Xi's mother. He had spent two days in deep meditation to recover from the damage to his body, but the vital energy he had consumed was gone forever.
If he used the spell again this time, the damage to his body would be even greater.
"Alas!" Zhou Hong walked on the street, sighing helplessly. Perhaps this was fate.
Without further ado, Zhou Hong immediately chanted words and cast the Heaven and Earth Unlimited Tracking Technique.
In his mind, he pictured Qin Changhui's appearance.
As expected, half a minute later, Zhou Hong located Qin Changhui.
Fortunately, Qin Changhui was still within Jinzhou City. If he had left the city and gone far away, Zhou Hong would have been powerless.
Zhou Hong immediately ran towards a certain direction in the city.
At this moment, Qin Changhui was locked in a deep basement. The basement had only a dim yellow light, and the other four walls were made of stone.
Next to the basement, a few kidnappers were playing mahjong.
"Be quiet!" At this moment, a man with a scarred face shouted at the people playing mahjong.
The people playing mahjong immediately stopped making noise.
"Qin family, I'm giving you three days to prepare the money. Otherwise, don't blame me for killing him. The clock starts now," said the scarred man, holding a mobile phone. This phone seemed to be specially modified, making it impossible to trace its location.
"I'm sorry, ten billion is too much. Our Qin family cannot afford it." A man's voice came from the other end of the phone, seemingly representing the Qin family, negotiating with the kidnapper.
"Then how much are you willing to offer?" asked the pockmarked kidnapper.
"We can offer at most ten thousand yuan. If you agree, send us your account number, and I'll transfer it to you. If not, then do as you please, kill him."
"What? Ten thousand yuan?" The pockmarked kidnapper was shocked. He had asked for ten billion, but he never expected that the person negotiating for the Qin family would say they were only willing to pay ten thousand yuan. In his dozen years as a kidnapper, this was the first time he had encountered such bizarre family members. Of course, he hadn't necessarily expected to get ten billion, and it was negotiable, but no matter how they negotiated, it would be at least over a hundred million. But now they were saying ten thousand yuan, so there was really nothing to discuss.
