Chapter 2319 Perhaps she was kidnapped?
Gao Xiang was puzzled.
Qiao Liancheng explained in a low voice, "It was only during this trip to H country that I learned my mother-in-law is one of the powerful figures behind a large conglomerate in the United States. She manages the finances and makes money for several US congressmen."
"Therefore, the resources that my mother-in-law controls are extraordinary."
"Leaving aside what those US congressmen can offer, the three game software programs she sold in the US last time were enough to shake the whole world."
"Under such circumstances, if Jiang Wan is a highly sought-after treasure, then isn't my mother-in-law just as precious?"
"In fact, my mother-in-law's value far exceeds that of Wanwan!"
"Now, do you still think your mother-in-law won't be targeted?"
Qiao Liancheng's few words sent chills down Gao Xiang's spine.
He pieced everything together, and his face turned pale and ashen.
How could he be so stupid as to forget how wonderful Rose was? When he arrived at the scene, all the traces and signs indicated that Rose must have jumped into the river.
It's estimated that someone was chasing her, which is why she jumped into the river.
Therefore, Gao Xiang has been sending people everywhere to search in the river and along both banks of the river these past few days, but he has overlooked the possibility that the other party may have used a smokescreen to make them think that Rose jumped into the river.
In fact, she had already been secretly taken away, so this may not be as simple as just jumping into the river and getting lost.
It might be a kidnapping!
He suddenly stood up and slapped himself twice across the face.
Seeing this, Qiao Liancheng quickly grabbed his hand and said, "Calm down, calm down."
"Now is not the time for self-blame and guilt."
“If we can’t calm down, we won’t be able to find my mother-in-law.”
Gao Xiang nodded, paused for a moment, and then asked, "What's your guess?"
Qiao Liancheng said, "I'm not really that confident, but Wanwan once said that making bold assumptions and verifying them carefully is the key to solving the case."
"Given the current state of this fishing line and the surrounding conditions, if I were a kidnapper, I could use this fishing line to drag the person who was about to jump into the river back."
"The kidnappers left in a hurry, and these fishing lines, being too thin and long after completing their mission, will be difficult to reel in completely."
"The kidnappers probably didn't intend to take it back, but they left us with clues and clues."
"This fishing line should be newly produced, with a slight glow-in-the-dark function. Ordinary people can't afford such a fishing line."
"There are very few stores that can sell it, so let's use this as a clue to find out more, and maybe we can open up another path by following the clues."
Seeing that his son-in-law spoke logically and persuasively, Gao Xiang couldn't help but nod and say:
"Okay, I'll listen to you. You'll be in charge from now on, and I'll follow your lead."
Qiao Liancheng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no. I'm just offering a hypothesis; it may not be true."
Gao Xiang said, "In the days you haven't come back, we've searched every village and city around the entire river, but we still haven't found Rose."
"I'm out of ideas now. Whether your assumption is correct or not, it might give us a new perspective."
Qiao Liancheng nodded upon hearing this; finding the rose was his most important task this time.
He knew very well that if he couldn't find the rose, Jiang Wan would definitely blame herself and be sad.
He felt he should do his best, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then I will take over the command without hesitation."
Then Qiao Liancheng issued a series of orders.
The first priority is to find all the clues and locate the supplier of this fishing line.
Find the agents and distributors selling this fishing line in the nearest cities, and also find the people who bought this fishing line.
Meanwhile, Yuan Xiaohua drove Li Xiuying back to Yanjing.
Yuan Xiaohua knew Qiao Liancheng's idea and also knew that Li Xiuying, this great-aunt, was not easy to entertain.
The little girl is easygoing about food and clothing and doesn't pick and choose anything. Most importantly, she's always smiling.
It's like a bright sunflower.
They always bring warmth and fragrance to those around them.
However, Yuan Xiaohua dared not let her guard down at all. A girl who could become the head of the Seven Star Group's secret branch, and who was only a teenager, was truly an innocent and pure flower.
That is absolutely impossible.
Moreover, Yuan Xiaohua must ensure that Li Xiuying will not harm Qiao Liancheng's family.
Therefore, after bringing her back to Yanjing, some arrangements were made.
Li Xiuying remained calm and obedient throughout.
Li Xiuying did whatever Yuan Xiaohua asked her to do, even when Yuan Xiaohua blindfolded her and took her into the military compound, she did not resist at all.
When she saw the twins, Qiao Ping'an and Jin Yuanyuan, her eyes widened in surprise. These four children actually didn't look alike at all.
However, the two twins lying on the bed did look very much like Qiao Liancheng and Jiang Wan.
Upon seeing the two children, Li Xiuying's expression showed a hint of disappointment.
She didn't leave immediately, but sat in Jiang Wan and Qiao Liancheng's bedroom, looking at the small home with a face full of confusion and doubt.
This place is so small, it can't compare to her manor at the Seven Star Group at all.
But why does Qiao Liancheng like this place so much?
After she learned that Qiao Liancheng was Chinese, she also learned his real name.
Li Xiuying obtained some of Qiao Liancheng's information almost that very evening.
Because Qiao Liancheng was a member of the military, she had limited access to information, including only his name and the fact that he was currently studying at Tsinghua University.
Next came his wife's information.
She saw Jiang Wan's photo in Jiang Wan's file, and now, seeing the family photo of Jiang Wan and Qiao Liancheng in this house, she felt even more uneasy.
At this moment, Jia Haixia and Yuan Xiaohua came in.
Both of them had to keep an eye on her, making sure she didn't hurt the two children, but also making sure she didn't feel alienated or wary.
Noticing someone enter, Li Xiuying turned to look at them, her eyes filled with even more confusion.
she asked:
"As far as I know, Jiang Wan is very rich, so why would she live here?"
"This little house looks alright, but the rooms aren't very big. Why doesn't she buy a larger estate? Why is she crammed into this place?"
Jia Haixia paused for a moment before replying, "There are some things you may not understand, because happiness doesn't only come with age."
"A house that's too big will feel empty, and it will take a long time to walk to see someone."
"Although our building is a bit small, if anyone upstairs feels unwell or needs help, they can just call out and someone will hear them."
"Because the house is relatively small, we have more opportunities to meet, which makes our relationship even stronger."
