Chapter 1505 - 1498: The Final Choice (4)
Moreover, we must act quickly and swiftly. Now that Lu Weixi has been kidnapped for over 50 hours, without a rescue, even if the kidnappers mean her no harm, not beating or torturing her, going without food and water for over three days can be lethal. She is also pregnant, which makes her physically weaker, so we must hasten the rescue operation!
However, since the Northwest Reservoir is Yan City’s largest reservoir, that means the area is vast, with the water surface equivalent to a medium-sized lake. Surrounding the reservoir are mountains, dense forests, and even cliffs, making the terrain extremely complex. Once, tourists went hiking here and it took a large-scale search team two full days to find them. Lu Weixi is kidnapped, we can’t search on a large scale lest the kidnappers become desperate. And although we suspect she may be near the reservoir, what if it was just nonsense spoken by Lu Weixi due to a head injury? If we search in the wrong direction, she’s definitely a goner. Thus, we’ve split into two teams—one heading to West Mountain, while the other remains stationed in Hanhai.
Another thing, when the kidnapper called just now, the call didn’t last more than 20 seconds before being cut off. We can’t trace the incoming call information here. Otherwise, where the signal appears could have been corroborative evidence, making it easier for us to find Lu Weixi’s location.
As for Qin Zhiyou, the moment he learned that Lu Weixi might be near the reservoir, he immediately wanted to go too, but was held back by others. After all, if the kidnappers send another message, at Hanhai they have the equipment to continue investigating the source of the mobile signal.
Besides, he really can’t leave the company matters unattended. Although Hanhai’s stock price closed only five points down, who knows if there will be no good news from the bank on grandfather’s side today, will it continue to decline? Zhao Zihao’s words were clear—he was telling him that he had more moves to play and was willing to see it through to the end. If Qin Zhiyou departs Hanhai to find his wife, abandoning everything, Zhao Zihao would definitely stab him in the back in a heartbeat!
The company is a gamble, and so is Lu Weixi’s life. Qin Zhiyou stands up anxiously, gazing at the sky outside.
The sky today seems a bit overcast. The sun hides behind the clouds, yet there’s no hint of rain, just stuffiness. The high temperature outside, coupled with the humidity and not a breeze in sight, makes one irritable, and the mood plummets.
