Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire
Chapter 462 - Chapter 462 450

Chapter 462: 450 Chapter 462: 450 Su Heyuan finished talking with Lu Jiaxin and left. Tonight, Old Master Su wanted everyone to come to his place for dinner, so he had to go buy some items to bring over.

After sending him off, Lu Jiaxin also went upstairs to sleep. Upon waking up, she did an hour of yoga before she started reading her professional books.

In the evening, Nie Zhan came back and said to Lu Jiaxin, “Guo Kaibai was taken away by ICAC for corruption and bribery at around three this afternoon.”

“Should we wait for news then?”

Nie Zhan fell silent for a moment before saying, “The intermediary who was in contact with the kidnappers has been killed, and the person who had close dealings with this middleman left the country the day after the kidnapping. It will take some time to track them down.”

Lu Jiaxin said, “Medical science is more advanced than it used to be. If the other side has plastic surgery and then acquires a new identity, if they hide well, they could never be found in this lifetime.”

Nie Zhan nodded and said, “Hopefully, we can pry some information from Guo Kaibai.”

Lu Jiaxin shook her head, “At the beginning, I also felt that the mastermind behind this is likely Guo Kaibai, but after carefully considering it in the past two days, I think it’s very unlikely. First, if Guo Kaibai really wanted to kill me, he would definitely find out everything about me, which would be easy for him given his status. Not to mention Gu Wenfeng and Wang Lin, Zong Jinghua is a retired member of the Flying Tigers Squad, and they all have gun permits. If they really wanted me dead, they wouldn’t hire such incompetent kidnappers. Second, our relationship is good right now. If I were killed, you’d definitely investigate thoroughly. Any actions taken will inevitably leave traces, and if it were traced back to him, he wouldn’t be let off the hook.”

“Guo Kaibai’s ex-wife had a bad temper and couldn’t have children, yet he could stay married for twenty years without divorcing her. From this, you can tell he is especially tolerant. Such a person might play dirty or give others a push but hiring someone to commit murder isn’t likely.”

Even when it came to Zhihui’s dad, the other side used an indirect method to get him imprisoned.

Nie Zhan did not deny her words, “Besides He Zhuliang and Guo Kaibai, you haven’t offended anyone else.”

Lu Jiaxin couldn’t understand it either and said, “To go as far as hiring someone to kill me, that definitely means they hate me intensely. Apart from He Zhuliang, I haven’t made such a formidable enemy with anyone.”

Green Forest and Qirui have had a significant impact on their industry peers. But that was fair competition, not even amounting to offending anyone, let alone hiring a killer. On the other hand, He Zhuliang, because of the evidence I provided, ended up jailed, and the He Family went bankrupt and liquidated. But now he’s disabled, frequently bullied in prison, struggling even to protect himself. Li Xuanqi and He Yanyan have problems making ends meet and don’t have the capacity to take revenge on me. So, this matter is very strange.

Nie Zhan said, “Don’t worry, I will find the mastermind behind this.”

“Yes, I believe in you.”

After having dinner, as Lu Jiaxin took a stroll in the garden, she brought up the matter entrusted to her by Su Heyuan, “You’ve been friends with Hu Zhifeng for many years. Do you think the Hu Family would take a fancy to Big Brother Su?”

Nie Zhan was extremely surprised that Su Heyuan had taken a liking to Hu Huihui; it was truly unexpected. However, upon further thought, Hu Huihui being Hu Zhifeng’s biological sister and not lacking in any aspect, and Su Heyuan always wanting to find a strong supportive match through marriage, the Hu Family was indeed a very good choice.

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Do you think it’s hopeless?”

Nie Zhan, smiling, said, “Su Heyuan himself is a young talent, having earned a fortune of several hundred million by thirty, and he’s clean-living without any gossip, so there is a good chance for things to work out with Hu Huihui.”

“However, it doesn’t just depend on Hu Zhifeng and the older family members agreeing; the girl herself has to like him. Although the Hu Family adheres to many old-fashioned rules, they still respect their children’s wishes when it comes to marriage.”

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile, “Then it should be fine. It’s not ancient times anymore; arranged marriages aren’t a thing. When the time comes, we can just organize a get-together. Whether it works out depends on whether they have that fate or not.”

With such an arrangement, there should be no problem.

Early the next morning, Lu Jiaxin called Zong Shimeng to invite her for afternoon tea. Unfortunately, her youngest son was sick, and she was unavailable for the past few days.

Lu Jiaxin asked with concern, “Sister-in-law, then you’re busy. Let’s meet up when you have time.”

Worried that Su Heyuan was waiting for her news, she called him. His secretary answered, saying he was out on business and not in the office.

Lu Jiaxin said, “Then when your boss returns, have him give me a call back.”

“Okay.”

Su Heyuan had gone across the harbor to Peng City. Firstly, he had to thank the two friends who had helped look for the kidnapper; secondly, the factory manager of the home appliance plant had caused problems and he intended to dismiss him – Su Heming was unwilling, so he had to come over; thirdly, and most importantly, he needed to arrange a new bodyguard for Lu Jiaxin as soon as possible. Gu Wenfeng and Wang Lin were now disabled, and having only Miao Na was not enough. As for the bodyguards provided by Nie Zhan, he did not trust them. In a life-threatening situation, those foreign fellows would look out for themselves first.

As soon as Su Heming saw him, he frowned and said, “Why are you here?”

Su Heyuan said with a stern face, “If I didn’t come, you would have shut down the home appliance factory.”

Su Heming replied angrily, “Su Dong made a mistake, but that woman is no good either. He has been working in the company for so many years; if there’s no merit, at least there’s hard work. Besides, the Public Security Bureau has already penalized him. What’s wrong with giving him another chance?”

The factory manager Su Dong’s wife and children were back in his hometown, and unable to withstand loneliness, he found himself women–more than one. A mistress found out and caught him in bed with another, resulting in a fight, and in the end, a group of people were taken to the police station.

Su Heyuan said, “He has spent over two hundred thousand on those two women. His annual salary plus bonuses amount to around one hundred thousand, and he sends half of that home. Tell me, where did the money spent on those women come from?”

He had long known about Su Dong’s affairs with women outside. It was a man’s bad nature, and as a boss, not an elder, he naturally wouldn’t interfere. But taking advantage of his position to embezzle money was something he couldn’t tolerate.

Su Heming was unaware of this issue, “Are you telling the truth?”

“More real than real gold. Go out, I have something to discuss with Uncle.”

“Is it about Jiaxin?”

Seeing him nod, Su Heming left.

When the call connected, Xie Kaixiao heard Su Heyuan’s voice and asked, “How is Jiaxin now? She wasn’t frightened, was she?”

He had learned about Lu Jiaxin’s encounter with the kidnappers the afternoon of the next day. After calling Su Heming and finding out that Lu Jiaxin was hospitalized due to a chill and not from injuries, he felt relieved.

Su Heyuan said, “No, she’s brave and wasn’t affected by the incident. She stayed in the hospital for three days to wait for Gu Wenfeng to wake up.”

Xie Kaixiao, aware that Gu Wenfeng was in a coma after the surgery, was glad to hear he had awakened.

Su Heyuan continued, “Uncle, Gu Wenfeng and Wang Lin are both in the hospital, Zong Jinghua has returned to Australia to recuperate, and now Jiaxin only has the hired Miao Na by her side. And up to this point, Nie Zhan and I still haven’t found out who is behind the scenes. Uncle, Jiaxin is in a very dangerous situation right now.”

Xie Kaixiao understood his meaning and said, “I will select a suitable candidate as soon as possible.”
