Xia Ye returned home with Jiang Mu and Qiqi.
Along the way, Qiqi's little face was tense, and her tears kept falling like broken beads.
Her little hands tightly grasped the corners of Xia Ye's clothes, as if this was the only way to find a sense of security.
Jiang Mu also became quiet at this moment. She sat in the passenger seat and looked at Xia Ye and Qi Qi with complicated eyes.
She knew that this incident had caused great trauma to Qiqi's soul, and as a mother, all she could do at the moment was companionship and comfort.
Xia Ye didn't tell them that Jiang Capital was responsible. He didn't want Jiang Mu and Qiqi to bear more pressure at this time.
He just drove while gently comforting Qiqi: "Qiqi, don't be afraid, dad is here, those bad guys have been beaten away by dad, and they will never come to hurt you again."
Qiqi's tears gradually stopped as she listened to Xia Ye's words.
She looked up at Xia Ye, with a hint of trust on her face: "Dad, are you telling the truth? Are those bad guys really not going to come back again?"
"Of course it's true." Xia Ye smiled and nodded, "Dad promises you that he will protect you and mom and not let anyone hurt you."
Jiang Mu also spoke at this moment: "Qiqi, believe dad, we are a family, and we will face it together no matter what difficulties we encounter."
As she spoke, she reached out and held Qiqi's little hand, giving her strength and courage.
With Xia Ye's comfort and Jiang Mu's encouragement, Qiqi's mood gradually stabilized.
She no longer felt so scared and helpless knowing that her father and mother were by her side.
This incident spread quickly in Gusu City, like a bombshell, instantly detonating public opinion in the entire city.
There are constant shocks in all aspects, and both the political and business circles and ordinary people are talking about it.
The news continued to report the subsequent progress, making it impossible for people to ignore this incident that shocked the whole city.
"Have you heard? Those gangsters were struck to death by lightning. It's so bizarre!"
"Yes, I heard about it too, and it was under clear skies. It's really incredible."
"I heard that Xia Ye is also a powerful person. Not only does he have outstanding business acumen, but he is also very skilled."
"Isn't that right? I heard that he was a single father and he took action to save his daughter. He is really a hero!"
Everyone was sighing and praised Xia Ye's courage and wisdom.
His deeds not only shocked and admired people, but also allowed people to see the greatness and power of father's love.
At the same time, this incident also attracted attention from all sides.
The police have stepped up their investigation into the forces behind the gangsters and tried to dig out more inside stories.
Business people also began to look at Xia Ye with admiration and wanted to make friends with him.
However, there are still many unknown secrets hidden behind this incident.
Xia Ye knew that she couldn't take it lightly and had to remain vigilant and calm in order to face the next challenge.
He took a deep breath, his eyes shining with determination.
He knew that this was just the beginning.
…
In the luxurious office of Jiang Capital, the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
Jiang Ping sat on the sofa with a pale face, his hands clenched into fists, and his eyes flashed with anger.
He heard that the people sent to kidnap Qiqi failed, and he was very angry.
"How could this happen?" Jiang Ping roared, "Are those people just losers? They can't even tie up a little girl!"
Old James stood aside with a cold smile on his face.
He had long expected that this operation would fail, but he did not expect that it would fail so completely.
However, he did not show any panic or worry, but calmly analyzed the current situation.
"Mr. Jiang, please don't worry." Old James said slowly, "Although this operation failed, we still have a chance."
Great China Group has been in a state of decline since Tan Wenxiong came to Handong.
They can only do some civil construction projects to make ends meet.
And the European consortium that supports them behind the scenes is no match for Longteng Jiuzhou because all their people have returned to China and are no longer sitting on the empire's side.
Jiang Ping was very angry, so James Lao suggested that he kidnap Xia Ye's family.
Jiang Ping still hesitated, but after all, he had no feelings for Qiqi, and he hated his niece even more.
So he agreed and sent someone to kidnap Qiqi.
But at this moment, both of their faces were extremely solemn.
The news of the mission's failure was like a huge stone, weighing heavily on their hearts.
"Old James, are you sure those people won't reveal our identity?" Jiang Ping revealed a hint of worry in his tone, "What if they are caught and confess to us?"
There was a hint of evil in Old James's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Jiang, don't worry, those people are dead soldiers trained by the consortium in the empire, and their families are in the hands of the consortium. Even if they are caught, they will not dare to Those who talk nonsense, otherwise, their families will suffer.”
Hearing this, Jiang Ping's worries eased slightly.
He knew that the consortium's methods had always been ruthless, and the families of those dead soldiers were indeed their weakness.
"That's good." He said with relief.
However, Old James did not slack off because of Jiang Ping's relaxation.
He continued: "But Mr. Jiang, the failure of this mission is indeed a big blow to us. Judging from the reactions of the Gusu City Council and major departments, Xia Ye's reputation and status are now very high. , it’s not that easy for us to move him.”
Jiang Ping frowned when he heard this. He knew that Old James was telling the truth, but he was not willing to give up like this.
As soon as Xia Ye's daughter was kidnapped, there were helicopters and police units, armed with live ammunition.
He was a little frightened at the time.
"Then what should we do now?" he asked helplessly.
Old James was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Mr. Jiang, we can only stay dormant for the time being. We cannot continue to act rashly and wait for opportunities before taking action."
As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"But during this period, we can secretly accumulate strength and prepare for future counterattacks."
Although Jiang Ping was unwilling to give up, he also knew that he had no choice but to endure now. He nodded and said: "Okay, Old James, I will do as you say. We will stay dormant for the time being and wait for the opportunity to take action again."
As he spoke, a sinister look flashed in his eyes, as if he had vowed in his heart that Xia Ye would pay a heavy price.
…
Knowing that Jiang Capital was behind this, Xia Ye's heart instantly surged with endless anger.
If Jiang Capital is not taught a severe lesson this time, they may get worse.
In the study room, the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Xia Ye sat in front of the desk, her hands clenched into fists, and her eyes flashed with determination.
He has made up his mind to make Jiang Capital pay the due price.
