Chapter 92: Kidnapping

Two police officers who did not recognize Gong Wei beat him up and took him to the police car, preparing to charge him with assaulting a police officer. As they left the hair salon, Gong Wei shouted, "That's my car!"

One of the police officers, upon seeing Gong Wei's car, cursed inwardly, "This kid is really asking for it, driving such a nice car and still coming to a place like this for pleasure. He must be a nouveau riche or a newly promoted small-time gang leader!"

Wang Jian and Lu Jun waited for the police to arrive. They only smiled and left after seeing Gong Wei being taken away. After everything was settled, Wang Jian and Lu Jun went back to find Zhao Yixuan and Jie Lianbing. Zhao Yixuan hurried over to ask what had happened.

Wang Jian smiled and said, "This time, he's in for a rough ride!"

After explaining the whole situation to Zhao Yixuan and Jie Lianbing, Zhao Yixuan couldn't stop laughing. After she finished laughing, she said, "Wang Jian, you're really devious. That Gong Wei should be at the police station now!"

"Probably. Even if he's released, I think he'll have a hard time!" Wang Jian said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhao Yixuan asked worriedly, "If we do this, will Gong Wei seek revenge on us?"

Wang Jian frowned and said, "Don't worry. If he dares to seek revenge, we'll make sure he pays!"

Seeing Wang Jian's calm and composed demeanor, Zhao Yixuan felt reassured. Jie Lianbing just listened quietly.

After their conversation, Wang Jian called Ye Fengling. Ye Fengling told him she had already arrived at the Xintiandi Hotel in the provincial capital. Wang Jian then took Jie Lianbing there, while Zhao Yixuan didn't go along.

Upon arriving at the Xintiandi Hotel, Wang Jian shook hands with Ye Fengling. Seeing Wang Jian with Jie Lianbing, Ye Fengling said happily, "I didn't expect Sister Lianbing to be here too!"

Jie Lianbing smiled modestly and said, "Hello, Director Ye!"

"Don't call me Director Ye, just call me Fengling!" Ye Fengling said with a smile.

Jie Lianbing replied, "How can I do that? You're a big leader in the province!"

"Haha, why do you say that? I'm just a journalist!" Ye Fengling laughed.

Jie Lianbing asked in surprise, "Director Ye, aren't you the director of the province?"

"I'm not a director, just a journalist. Wang Jian, didn't you tell Sister Lianbing?"

Wang Jian interjected with a smile, "We call people from the province 'Director' down here. Lianbing didn't say anything wrong!"

Ye Fengling laughed and said, "You guys are already in sync!"

The three of them chatted and laughed, preparing to go for a meal. As they walked, Ye Fengling asked Wang Jian, "How's the funding situation? Did you go to the provincial transportation department?"

"No, I just brought Lianbing around the city. I plan to go tomorrow," Wang Jian said.

"I'll go with you!" Ye Fengling said.

After finishing their meal, the three of them left the hotel to go out for a while. Unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped out, several men with machetes surrounded them.

"What do you want?" Wang Jian asked angrily.

"Come with us!" the leader said sternly.

"What if I don't?" Wang Jian countered.

The man grinned and said, "With two such beautiful women, you won't refuse, right?"

As he spoke, someone pulled out a dagger and pressed it against Jie Lianbing's neck. Ye Fengling demanded, "Who are you?"

"Shut up, move now!" The man grabbed Ye Fengling and pushed her into a car. Seeing that they were outnumbered, Wang Jian didn't dare to move and followed them into the car.

The three of them were taken to a place not far from the city. They were blindfolded, taken out of the car, and led into a room. When the blindfolds were removed, Wang Jian saw Gong Wei sitting in a chair.

"It's you!" Wang Jian exclaimed in surprise.

It turned out that after Gong Wei was taken to the police station, he reported his name. The police were skeptical but reported it to their superiors. When the higher-ups heard that the son of the provincial public security secretary had been arrested, they were shocked. The district police chief immediately rushed to the station to verify the situation.

Upon seeing the police chief, Gong Wei shouted, "Let me out now!"

The police chief asked, "Are you Secretary Gong's son?"

"My father is Gong Changqiu. Is that right?" Gong Wei said angrily.

The police chief asked again, "But why were you at a place like that for prostitution?"

"I was set up. I didn't go there on my own!" Gong Wei defended himself.

"But why were you with the prostitute when you were caught?" the police chief pressed.

Gong Wei exploded, "I was set up, can't you understand that!"

The police chief, used to giving orders, was taken aback by Gong Wei's disrespect and felt a surge of anger. However, considering that Gong Wei might indeed be Gong Changqiu's son, he didn't want to risk his position and asked, "Are you Secretary Gong's son? Do you have any proof?"

"Give me a phone, and I'll prove it to you!" Gong Wei said.

The police chief had someone return Gong Wei's phone. Gong Wei immediately called, "Uncle Wu, I'm in trouble, come and save me!"

After the call, the police chief was still skeptical. After about half an hour, a middle-aged man and another person entered the station. The man leading the way asked, "Where is your leader?"

The station personnel led them to the police chief. The police chief asked, "Who are you?"

"We are from the provincial public security department. This is Director Wu. Are you in charge here?" the man said arrogantly.

The police chief, realizing that they were from the provincial public security department, immediately became more respectful and said, "Welcome, leaders from the provincial public security department, please sit down!"

"We are here to pick someone up. Is Gong Wei here?" the man asked again.

Director Wu stood there with an authoritative presence, not saying a word. The police chief, intimidated by his demeanor, quickly had Gong Wei brought out.

As soon as Gong Wei came out, he pointed at the police chief and said, "Uncle Wu, you need to fire these people. They beat me up!"

Director Wu immediately asked, "Is that true?"

The police chief, unaware that his officers had beaten Gong Wei at the hair salon, said, "We didn't beat him."

"How could you not? Two of your officers beat me up at the hair salon!" Gong Wei argued.

Hearing about the hair salon, Director Wu asked, "What exactly happened? Why did you arrest Xiao Wei?"

The police chief hurriedly explained, "He was caught for prostitution, reported by someone, so we arrested him!"

Director Wu knew that Gong Wei had gotten himself into trouble again, and this time it was for prostitution. As the director of the provincial public security department's office, he felt embarrassed to be pleading for a prostitute. However, he had to protect Gong Changqiu's son. "Who said he was a prostitute? I was set up, forced into it!" Gong Wei shouted in defense.

"What exactly happened?" Director Wu was confused.

Gong Wei explained how Wang Jian had taken him to the hair salon, arranged a prostitute for him, and then had him arrested by the police.

"Is that true?" Director Wu asked the police chief. If it was true, the police should arrest Wang Jian.

"We don't know. When we arrived, we saw Mr. Gong with the prostitute in bed. We asked him to get down, but he refused!" one of the police officers who arrested Gong Wei explained.

Director Wu gave him a stern look and said, "You must investigate this thoroughly today. I'm taking Xiao Wei with me. This matter must not be spread around, understood?"

"We understand, we understand!" the police chief quickly agreed.

"No, they beat me up. I want them to pay!" Gong Wei insisted.

Director Wu felt that the police might not be at fault, but in this situation, Gong Wei's face was important. He said to the police chief, "The officers who arrested Xiao Wei should be suspended for reflection. They will be dealt with strictly after the investigation."

Hearing this, Gong Wei felt somewhat satisfied, looked at the police officer triumphantly, and then left with the others.

After Gong Wei left, the two police officers asked, "Chief, we didn't do anything wrong. He was clearly a prostitute, and we arrested him. What's wrong with that? He was very arrogant, and we just pulled him off the bed. What's wrong with that?"

The police chief sighed, "I know you didn't do anything wrong, but if the leader says you did, then you did. What can I do?"

Seeing the police chief's dilemma, the two officers didn't say anything more. They considered themselves unlucky for getting involved with the son of a leader. They hadn't learned to carry a protective charm!

After being released, Gong Wei first went to the hospital to treat his injuries. After getting bandaged up, he gathered a group of his friends to search for Wang Jian.

After returning, Director Wu reported the incident to Gong Changqiu. Gong Changqiu was furious when he learned that his son had been caught for prostitution by the police. He wanted to beat Gong Wei up.

"Director Wu, is what you said true?" Gong Changqiu asked angrily.

"It's true, but according to Xiao Wei, he was set up by someone named Wang Jian," Director Wu said.

"Wang Jian?" Gong Changqiu remembered Wang Jian's name and knew about the previous incident between Gong Wei and Wang Jian.

"Where is this Wang Jian now?" Gong Changqiu asked.

"I'm not sure. Do you know Wang Jian, Secretary Gong?" Director Wu asked.

"No," Gong Changqiu said, not wanting others to know about the incident between Wang Jian and Gong Wei. "Have the police investigate how Wang Jian set up Xiao Wei. If it's true, arrest him."

"No problem!" Director Wu agreed.

After saying this, Director Wu left and immediately arranged for the police to investigate Wang Jian. Unexpectedly, Gong Wei learned about this from the police and took action first, kidnapping Wang Jian and the others!
