Hidden moth

Chapter 52 Wukong Descends to Earth
The money was discovered when it entered the E-era community.

Since the kidnappers were fishing, they would leave clues. But how to leave clues was very important. They had to avoid attracting the attention of the police, while letting Yin E know that He Kao and Gao Xue'e had been kidnapped and disappeared.

The kidnappers' original plan was to extract Yin'e's identity from He Kao and Gao Xue'e. Even if they didn't know, they would still identify the suspect. The second step was to have them call for help, thus luring Yin'e out.

When Yin E heard the news, he immediately went to the kidnapping scene to confirm the situation. They sent people to monitor the two communities to further identify Yin E.

Their orders were not to track, but to record who was coming. However, the plan did not change quickly, and before the kidnappers had a chance to interrogate them, someone arrived at the scene.

But the kidnappers' spies only found Qian Guran, but not Huang Xiaopang, because Huang Xiaopang did not pass through the community at all.

Qian Guran came out of the community, made a phone call, and then drove straight to Yunteng Building.

Gu Yunteng owns numerous luxury homes both domestically and internationally, but he often spends most of his time in Yunteng Building, the very base where he built his fortune. An entire floor there is dedicated to his office, meeting rooms, and living space, complete with a dedicated garage and elevator.

Everyone knows that he is a successful entrepreneur, but few people know that he comes from a martial arts school and is a second-level broker who practices the art of qi-gazing. Qian has to call him uncle.

When Gu Yunteng founded the Bada Group, his original goal was to create the conditions for completing the advancement ritual. However, in the end, between "greater career success" and "better completion of the ritual," he chose the former.

In fact, "career success" and "completion ceremony" are not contradictory. It's just that some trade-offs have to be made based on the actual situation.

If he chose to complete the ceremony when the time came, he might have missed out on a major business opportunity that could have made him one of the richest men in the world. Never mind, the ceremony could always be repeated...

So Gu Yunteng failed to become a third-tier strategist, and later on, he failed to succeed. And then… he simply gave up. So what if he was a third-tier strategist? Could he live a comfortable life? He consoled himself with this.

His identity as a qimen sorcerer greatly helped him succeed in his career, and after his career became more successful, he became an important link in a huge network of relationships, enabling him to exchange and help each other with many resources and interests.

For example, for a junior like Qian Guran who is worthy of training, he doesn't mind helping him with a little favor and asking him to do some small things for him.

Before Qian Guran entered the Yunteng Building, he received another call from Huang Xiaopang. Huang Xiaopang told him that Gao Xue'e had also been kidnapped and disappeared, and the kidnappers had used the same method: an ambulance...

Qian Guran suspected Gu Yunteng for two reasons.

The first was the document He Kao had found in the safe deposit box. Gu Yunteng had asked him to find out what He Kao had found, but he had kept the document a secret, suggesting Gu Yunteng was still worried.

Second, the E-Era Community was developed by the Bada Group. The key to He Kao's apartment was provided by the developer. If He Kao didn't open the door on his own initiative, then the kidnappers also had the key.

But Gao Xue'e also disappeared. What happened?

Qian Guran asked, "Xiaopang, are you at Boss E's house? How did you get in?"

Xiaopang: "Boss E's house has a combination lock. Last time I helped Boss E get something, she told me the combination... These are not important. The key point is that Boss E is missing too! Her phone was left at home. I asked around and she was taken away by ambulance!"

Qian Guran: "Keep looking, keep in touch, and wait for my news."

After hanging up the phone, Qian Guran entered the Yunteng Building and met Gu Yunteng. No one knew what the two of them talked about, but Qian Guran left with a gloomy look on his face.

Gu Yunteng flatly denied having anything to do with the matter. He was very angry at Qian Guran's attitude of coming to question him and sent him away.

Gu Yunteng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching Qian Guran's car leave, his face gloomy and uncertain.

This was not originally his doing, but was planned by Zhao Zhenzhen. He only provided a little help, asked the other party to do a small favor, and made some other arrangements in secret.

Of course, there is no need to tell Qian Guran these details. No matter what happens in the exam, it has nothing to do with him.

Qian Guran's face was not looking good when he left Tengyun Building. As a third-level cultivator of the Qi-gazing technique, he was good at judging the relationships between people, and of course he could also see the relationship between Gu Yunteng and himself.

There is a certain degree of fear, as well as vigilance and distrust, and the attitude is obviously dishonest.

Qian Guran had previously lied that he had gone to Pingjing because he didn't want to meet Gu Yunteng, because he was also hiding something from Gu Yunteng, and the other party was also a sorcerer of the Qi Gate.

Although it is said that Gu Yunteng has always been a second-level broker, who knows whether he has continued to advance over the years? After all, one's cultivation level is not usually written on his face.

After the meeting, Qian Guran managed to find out the result. Gu Yunteng should still be a second-level broker and has not advanced, but his attitude just now was not honest.

What should I do now? Qian Guran suddenly remembered that he had been hiding out in Jiangbei for the past few days. Tonight, he received a call from Huang Xiaopang. When he rushed to the E-era community, he remembered seeing an ambulance passing by on the Dajiang Second Bridge.

The ambulance didn't have its emergency lights on at the time, and he didn't pay much attention. Now that he thinks about it, it seems very suspicious...

He immediately drove towards Dajiang Second Bridge. Although quite a while had passed, he hoped he could still find some clues. At this moment, he received another call.

The mobile phone was placed on the bracket next to the steering wheel, and the caller ID showed "Unknown Number". Qian Guran put on the Bluetooth headset and turned it on, but suddenly he braked hard and almost hit the curb.

……

This call was from He Kao.

He Kao's voice was a little weak, and he was panting slightly. Although he couldn't speak carelessly, his tone could convey a certain message: "Lao Qian, it's me, He Kao. Sorry, it's so late, are you asleep?"

Qian Guran: "Where are you? Xiaopang called me just now. He wanted to go look for you, but you were gone. You didn't even have your phone with you... I heard from the neighbors that you were taken away by ambulance. What happened?"

When he heard that it was He Kao on the other end of the phone, Lao Qian slammed on the brakes and immediately started spewing out a long and dense string of messages, so fast that He Kao couldn't get a word in.

After Lao Qian finished speaking, He Kao continued, "We'll talk about other things later. Let me ask you first, do you remember what you saw that night, on September 30th, when you were drinking tea on the roof of my house?
You asked me what it was, and I said I got it from a bank safe deposit box. It was my father's belongings from 20 years ago. Do you remember what it was?"

He Kao's speech speed was not fast, but each sentence was connected very tightly, making him seem a little nervous, and he did not leave Qian Guran any chance to interrupt.

Qian Guran: "Don't you know it yourself? Why are you asking me?" He Kao: "The things are not at hand, and I can't remember some details, so I came to ask you."

Qian Guran: "There's a pair of golden paperweights, each weighing over ten pounds, and a property deed. As for the details, let me think about it. There's an engraved pattern on the paperweights, a plum blossom.

The property title is for Unit 10, Building 602, Guanliu Community. It's a four-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment, over square meters. It's a great area. A few years ago, second-hand apartments would have sold for over yuan per square meter, and even now, they'd be closer to yuan.

Why are you asking these questions? Are you bragging to some young nurse? Are you trying to hook up with her? Are you afraid that others won't believe you, so you came to me to confirm? Which hospital are you in? You look fine. Do you want me to send you a box of condoms?

Later on, he even started joking.

He Kao: "Yes! Please send it over."

Qian Guran was stunned: "You really want it?"

He Kao coughed for a while, took a breath, and then said, "It was just a joke... Do you remember what was in the safe?"

Qian Guran: "No, these are all I see. Did you lose them? Where are you and what are you doing?"

He Kao: "I'm not in the hospital. I'm with President E."

Qian Guran's tone suddenly rose an octave: "Ah, you are with President E? No wonder you disappeared and President E couldn't be contacted! It's the middle of the night, and you two..."

At this point, his voice suddenly lowered again, sounding mysterious. "...are they really involved? Then what about the ambulance? You guys are playing around quite a bit, but don't let anyone get killed!"

He Kao seemed a little helpless and said, "Old Qian, Mr. Qian, can you do me a favor?"

Qian Guran: "In this kind of situation, what else can I do to help except sending condoms?"

He Kao: "We've run into a situation and need help, but we're embarrassed to ask anyone else, so we've come to you. Could you please come over?"

Qian Guran: "You called me over in the middle of the night, you have to explain clearly what's going on, right?"

He Kao: "It's a little inconvenient to say, but you'll know when you come over."

Qian Guran: "Where are you?"

He Kao: "Well, I can't explain it clearly. You'll find out when you get to Sanxi Bridge in JB District."

Qian Guran: "JB District Sanxi Bridge? You actually ordered me around in the middle of the night? I'm the vice president, your boss!"

He Kao: "Because you are our leader, who else can we turn to if we are in trouble?"

"If you have any trouble, come find me..." Qian Guran suddenly paused and changed his tone, saying, "Forget it, I'll just go over and see what you guys are up to. I'll come back and settle the score with you!"

The phone on the other end was hung up first. Qian Guran was thinking of making another call when Xiaopang's call came in. Qian Guran sighed, and after receiving the notification, before Xiaopang could speak, he immediately said, "Xiaopang, I know where they are!
It's right over there in your hometown, in the abandoned amusement park, Happy Valley. The other day when we were having tea on the rooftop, I asked what that place was and why there was a Ferris wheel there...

Listen to me, they must have been kidnapped. The person who kidnapped them is very powerful. Even if they can't see with their own eyes, they can even feel it through the wall. They also have many other methods!

I'm going over there now and trying to rescue them, or at least find out their exact location. If you can't reach me, or if I send you a code, then call the police... In short, don't act rashly, and call the police if you really can't."

Qian Guran told Huang Xiaopang all this because he had already guessed Xiaopang's identity. Xiaopang had rushed to Boss E's house in such a short time, which was too fast even for a car racing in the middle of the night.

Just now in the house where He Kao disappeared, Xiaopang claimed that he used the key to open the door and get in. However, apart from the key left by He Kao, Qian Guran did not find any key on Xiaopang, which was also an obvious flaw.

……

The phone was taken away, and Xiaotao knocked He Kao's forehead with his knuckles and said, "You kid, you are a little dishonest!"

He Kao tried to shrink back as much as possible: "What's wrong? Didn't I say everything according to your request?"

Xiao Tao: "I've always suspected that there was something else behind what you just said. Now tell me honestly, who do you think is the biggest suspect of being Yin Mo? Is it Qian Guran?"

He Kao: "After hearing about this incident, I suspected everyone, including him."

Xiao Tao: "Besides him, who else is there?"

He Kao: "Everyone is a suspect!"

Xiao Tao turned around and walked towards Gao Xue'e, who was held at knifepoint, with a malicious smile on his face: "My beautiful lady, I heard that a plate of apples in your house turned into oranges in the middle of the night.

Now, please think carefully. Who among you knows is most likely to do such a thing? You must give me an answer, and give a good reason. If you say something that does not satisfy me, I will cut your face with a knife!

Gao Xue'e was so frightened by the blade against her cheek that she dared not move. He Kao said hurriedly, "You asked me to make a call, and I've already made the call. What else do you want to do?"

"Did I ask you a question?" Xiao Tao turned around and raised his hand, about to slap He Kao...

At that moment, a loud bang suddenly erupted from the building's front door, accompanied by the sound of shattering glass and screams. Everyone in the room immediately rushed out, and those in the corridor also rushed towards the hallway.

The scene was a bit chaotic for a moment, and everyone's attention was focused on that direction. Behind them, at the end of the corridor, a figure appeared. It was a bit fat, holding a submachine gun in both hands!

This man seemed to appear out of nowhere, wearing a Monkey King-like anime mask. As soon as he appeared, he shot at the back of the group without hesitation.
