She abandoned her husband first, then her children, and was ecstatic after the divorce.

"You wish!" The subordinate was furious and was about to rush forward again, but Lin Qingran stopped him once more.

Lin Qingran closed her eyes, remained silent for a moment, then slowly opened them, her eyes revealing a resolute look, and spoke to her subordinates.

"Go and do it, do as he says."

Then, Lin Qingran slowly walked out of the room where Zhao Long was being held.

Her subordinates rushed out, their faces full of disbelief, staring wide-eyed at Lin Qingran, and said anxiously.

"Mr. Jiang, how can this be? Once this person is released, he will definitely come back again. And what if you get implicated if you do this? You have to think twice! Why not just send him to the police station? The police will definitely have a way to deal with him."

Lin Qingran gently shook her head, her eyes tired yet resolute, and slowly said.

“I can tell from his personality that once he's made up his mind, nothing can change it. Even if you put him in jail, he still won't tell the truth.”

He looked hesitant, rubbed his hands together, and asked cautiously.

Is this really the only way?

Lin Qingran shook her head again, a sly glint in her eyes.

"Of course, it's impossible to go along with his wishes. When I was talking to him just now, I found that he was unusually persistent about going abroad. But in fact, his identity has not yet been revealed to the police. If I really wanted to let him go, I could have just released him quietly after getting a clue. He doesn't need to go to such great lengths to go abroad. His eagerness to go abroad is likely because he is colluding with Vincent or other behind-the-scenes forces, and he is going abroad to meet with them."

Upon hearing this, the subordinate frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, then looked up and asked, "?"

"Does Mr. Jiang mean to work with the police from the inside out? On the surface, agree to his request, but secretly follow this lead to dig deeper into Zhou Lan's crimes?"

Lin Qingran's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible cold smile.

"Yes, that's the plan. Tell the brothers to prepare for action."

After saying that, she straightened her clothes and strode away.

Lin Qingran hurriedly returned to her car, and before she could even catch her breath, her phone rang suddenly.

Seeing that it was Bo Ye calling, a glimmer of light flashed in her dim eyes, and she hurriedly answered the phone, her voice tinged with anxiety.

"Susukino, how are things on your end? Are you alright?"

On the other end of the phone, Susukino's calm voice came through.

"Don't worry, I stopped Bo Shicheng halfway. We haven't met Old Master Fu's illegitimate son yet. I explained the pros and cons to him, and he also felt that we couldn't act rashly. We plan to discuss our strategy first, and then consider how to meet that person."

Lin Qingran's tense nerves finally relaxed a little. She breathed a sigh of relief, and a look of satisfaction appeared on her face. Still worried, she repeatedly gave him instructions over the phone.

"You must be careful and not be careless. I'm waiting for you to come back safely."

"I will, don't worry, wait for me to come back."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

But as soon as he hung up the phone, the gentle look on Bo Ye's face vanished instantly, replaced by a gloomy expression.

His gaze, sharp as a cold arrow, shot straight at the man sitting in front of him.

The man was in his fifties, and perhaps because he took good care of himself, the years had not left too many deep marks on his face.

His facial features bear a striking resemblance to those of Old Master Fu, and anyone could tell at a glance that he carries the blood of the Fu family.

He was Fu Liancheng, the illegitimate son of Old Master Fu.

Fu Liancheng seemed to notice Bo Ye's gaze, and the corners of his mouth turned up in a slightly mocking smile as he teased him.

"Oh, so worried about your wife? You're quite the romantic."

Bo Ye's eyes turned cold, his brows furrowed, and his tone carried a hint of disgust.

"Stop talking nonsense. It's none of your business what I do with Jiuge."

Fu Liancheng crossed his arms, leaned back in his chair, nodded thoughtfully, the smile on his face fading, replaced by a businesslike expression.

"Fine, I'm not interested in your private matters. I'm just asking you, what's your decision?"

Bo Ye turned slightly to the side and exchanged a glance with Bo Shicheng beside him; their eyes were filled with complex emotions.

After a moment, Susukino took a deep breath.

He said, "I can agree to your conditions, but you have to hand over Fu Xiuheng to us."

Fu Liancheng laughed as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. After laughing, his eyes became sharp and he refused without hesitation.

"Do you take me for a three-year-old? Once Fu Xiuheng is taken away by you, who knows if you will still keep your promise? I won't do a losing deal. However, I'm not an unreasonable person. Once you fulfill your promise, I will naturally hand him over to you safely. It's fair to hand over the person and the goods at the same time."

Bo Ye sat in the chair, his hands gripping the armrests tightly, his eyes burning with rage as he stared intently at Fu Liancheng, who was making all sorts of unreasonable demands.

From the moment he stepped into the villa and saw Fu Liancheng, Bo Ye knew that things would not be simple today, but he did not expect that Fu Liancheng's greed and scheming would be so unscrupulous.

At that time, Fu Liancheng was sitting with his legs crossed, leisurely leaning on the sofa, with a smug smile on his face, like a king in control of the whole situation, throwing out a series of extremely harsh conditions to Bo Ye and Bo Shicheng like a machine gun.

“If you want me to let Fu Xiuheng go, then you have to do as I say. Shenghai Group and Bo's Group must join forces to carry out a major purge of Fu's Group, getting rid of those obstructive old fogies and shareholders with influence. You also know that as long as you do this, I can take control of Fu's Group without any problem. For you, this is just a piece of cake, isn't it?”

His voice was full of arrogance and certainty, as if he was certain that Bo Ye and the others would obediently submit to Fu Xiuheng.

They even used Lin Qingran's important project in Longcheng as a threat, forcing Bo Ye and his group to agree.

But when he heard Fu Liancheng propose a deal of handing over the person and the goods, Bo Ye's anger flared up even more. How could he possibly agree to such a request?

But when he thought of Fu Xiuheng still being in Fu Liancheng's hands, his life hanging in the balance, he forcibly suppressed his anger.

Fu Liancheng's influence is deeply entrenched, and even if the police are called, it is difficult to guarantee that Fu Xiuheng can be rescued unharmed. Moreover, if the police are alerted, Fu Xiuheng's situation will only become more dangerous.

Just as Bo Ye was suppressing his anger and weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Bo Shicheng gently nudged him and gave him a meaningful look.

Bo Ye was slightly taken aback. Although he didn't understand what Bo Shicheng was up to, he took a deep breath and tried to make his expression look calm, without speaking rashly.

Bo Shicheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Bo Ye did not react. He knew that acting impulsively at this moment would only make things worse.
