Chapter 1378: Clues Found, Additional Branches Arose

"So, do you think it was someone from the Gao family who kidnapped Yan Hua?"

After she finished speaking, everyone present fell silent.

Qiao Liancheng also frowned and said nothing.

Rose pondered for a moment and said, "Based on my understanding of Gao Pengju and Gao Yuanshan, both father and son are shameless people."

"To say that they might actually do such a thing."

Qiao Liancheng slammed the table and stood up.

"Whether it's true or not, just go check it out and you'll know."

"I will keep an eye on the Gao family now to see if there is anything unusual about Gao Pengju and Gao Yuanshan's actions."

"If they really did it, he would definitely contact the kidnappers."

"It is also possible that they will go directly to the place where Yan Hua is imprisoned, and then we can follow the clues to find Yan Hua."

Hearing Qiao Liancheng say this, Jiang Wan took a deep breath.

She nodded and said, "That's great. I'll feel more at ease if you go."

Qiao Liancheng asked again: "Did you hear any other sounds when you dreamed about that scene?"

Jiang Wan shook her head to indicate no.

"It was very quiet, and the room was very dark, without even a window."

When talking about the dark room without even windows, Qiao Liancheng instantly remembered the room where those people had imprisoned him.

He frowned and wondered whether he should go over there to take a look.

That place is undoubtedly the best place to imprison people, but he did not say this out loud. He just nodded and said, "Leave it to me."

"Just stay at home and take care of your baby. We'll contact you if there's any news."

Qiao Liancheng didn't delay and left directly with the car keys.

After he left, Jiang Wan was still a little worried.

But in her current condition, she can't help much and can only wait for news with peace of mind.

Seeing her anxious look, Rose quickly comforted her and said, "In fact, it's not just Qiao Liancheng who can go. Don't you have some people under you?"

"I heard that the Anhua security guards are all retired soldiers from the army, including some scouts."

"Scouts should know how to track and investigate these things, right?"

"No, why don't you send them out to investigate Gao Pengju?"

Jiang Wan's eyes lit up.

Yeah, why didn't she think of this?

So she turned around and called Dayong and asked him to come over.

After she told him the details, Dayong agreed immediately.

He picked out several very capable retired scouts and asked them to do the job.

The people here have already been deployed, and the next step is to wait for news.

Just as the police said: when President Yan went to work, the kidnappers called President Yan.

After President Yan answered the phone, he said something to the other party, confirmed the location for paying the money and taking the hostages, and then hung up.

It's not that he didn't trust the police, but he didn't have anything to be afraid of.

Although there were some gold bricks hidden in Yan Hua's house, they were left by their ancestors.

He left the gold bricks in the wall in order to avoid the search by the people from the Revolutionary Committee.

After Yan Hua was kidnapped, he inquired about the situation in detail.

The police said: "There were no signs of violence in the small room, and the items in the room were normal, nothing had been smashed or damaged."

Therefore, President Yan can be sure that the gold bricks hidden in the wall of their house have not been taken away and are still safe so far.

He just wanted to rescue his grandson now. If he took out the gold bricks and sold them to a buyer, he should be able to raise enough money for Yan Hua's ransom. He had no choice but to pay the remaining amount.

He didn't want to let the public security comrades know because he knew they would never let him go.

Sure enough, just when he was about to take out the gold bricks, Liang Jianguo blocked him.

"Have the kidnappers contacted you, President Yan?"

President Yan shook his head and refused to admit it.

But Liang Jianguo narrowed his eyes and said earnestly: "You are now a protected person, please do not leave our sight at will."

"If you want to go anywhere, our people can follow and protect you."

President Yan looked a little unhappy, but he had to patiently explain: "I'm going to that little room to see if Yan Hua has left any clues."

Liang Jianguo said: "That place is relatively messy, it's not suitable to go there at this time."

"Besides, that's the kidnapping scene. We have blocked it off. You can't go in!"

President Yan was very angry, but when he looked at Liang Jianguo's righteous face, all his anger disappeared.

Afterwards, President Yan thought of several excuses to return to the small courtyard where Yan Hua lived, but was blocked by Liang Jianguo every time.

At this point he couldn't say anything more.

If the intention is too obvious, it might be discovered.

Besides, he was going there to get the gold, and this must not be known by others no matter what.

President Yan had no choice but to give up and go back to think of another solution.

At this time, Jiang Wan's men had been sent out to track Gao Pengju and Gao Yuanshan.

Dayong came specially to find her.

After learning more details from her about what happened, he suggested, "I have another idea."

"Can we monitor the Gao family's phone calls so we can know how they communicate over the phone?"

"After all, this is a very sensitive time. The Gao family probably won't have any contact with the kidnappers."

Jiang Wan rubbed his brows and said, "I've thought about this possibility as well."

“The question is how do we monitor people’s phones?”

Dayong said: "We have some retired telephone operators in our security company. They have a solution."

"For those people, all they need to do is find a telephone line and connect a small device to it, and they can make a cross-wired phone call, so that they can hear the call from the other side."

Jiang Wan's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea."

"Send someone to do it right away, but be careful not to be discovered."

"Although we are doing the right thing, after all, we are not from the Public Security Bureau."

"If someone finds out and reports us to the police, we'll be in trouble."

Dayong nodded and turned to make arrangements.

It turns out that this move they made was actually the right one.

The phone line was connected, and within less than 5 minutes, I overheard a phone call.

Dayong quickly wrote down what was on the phone and went to find Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan took the paper and took a look at it. It contained the content of the conversation between the two sides.

The person who called Gao Pengju should be one of his subordinates.

The other side said: "Boss, the government has called you twice to urge you to come over and give an explanation. What should we do? Can you think of a solution?"

"Didn't we agree to kidnap President Yan first, and then once we get the money, you'll go directly to the government and say that it was the mistress who took the bribes in private, and then put the blame on him?"

"Why don't you say it now?"
