"Why can't you tell Mr. Lin?" Xue Zhaokuan looked at Huang Jiayan in surprise. His wife's behavior today was really strange.

"Because..." Huang Jiayan's tears fell, and she desperately grasped Xue Zhaokuan's collar, "In the afternoon, I received another call from a stranger. He said that as long as we do what he said, he can guarantee that my family will be fine."

Xue Zhaokuan's eyebrows immediately stood upside down. He immediately connected this strange incident with Lin Zhiyuan. Having been Lin Zhiyuan's secretary for so many years, he was considered a person who had seen big scenes, so he was still alert.

Could it be that all this is directed at General Lin?

Xue Zhaokuan stroked Huang Jiayan's long hair with pity, and said in the most gentle tone possible: "Jiayan, don't be anxious, tell me slowly, what did that person ask us to do?"

"He didn't say anything specific, he just said that when you come back, he would ask you to contact him, but he emphasized that we are not allowed to contact Mr. Lin, otherwise..." Huang Jiayan started crying again.

"Okay, then give me his phone number and I'll call him." Xue Zhaokuan took out his new Nokia 8850 phone that he bought last year. This phone is a high-end product of Nokia, with a metal body, small and light, a sliding cover design, and a unique new recording function.

Xue Zhaokuan started recording and then dialed the phone number provided by Huang Jiayan.

The phone rang only once, and someone answered it.

"Hello, Secretary Xue, sorry to bother you." It was an unfamiliar male voice.

Xue Zhaokuan tried his best to act panicked, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"Don't be nervous, Secretary Xue, I have no ill intentions, I just want to make friends with you."

"Is this how you make friends?" Xue Zhaokuan pretended to be very angry. "What did you do to my wife's family?"

"Secretary Xue, don't be so angry. I just invited them in for some tea. If Secretary Xue is willing to cooperate, I guarantee that they will be fine."

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"Haha, I heard that Secretary Xue has served Lin Zhiyuan for many years. We just happened to want to know about some of the things Lin Zhiyuan did before. We are afraid that Secretary Xue will not agree, so we can only resort to this last resort..."

Before the man could finish, Xue Zhaokuan shouted, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. You want me to betray President Lin? Dream on..."

"Secretary Xue, don't be angry. Just listen to me. I know Lin Zhiyuan is your old leader and you have a deep relationship, but that's all in the past. Right now, your family is the most important, isn't it? Besides, we don't want to do anything. We just want to know about some of the things that General Manager Lin did in the past. This is absolutely not illegal. If Secretary Xue is willing to help, I can guarantee that your wife's family will be released soon, and you can live a peaceful and happy life again."

Just as Xue Zhaokuan was about to say something, Huang Jiayan shouted beside him, "Zhaokuan, that's my dad! He's old and in poor health. What if something happens to him in there?"

Huang Jiayan's words were heard by the person on the phone, who smiled and said, "Secretary Xue, no matter what time it is, family affection is the most precious."

"You..." Xue Zhaokuan said one word and then stopped talking. He was silent for a long time. The other party was very patient and was waiting for Xue Zhaokuan to change his mind.

"I asked my wife to go back to Yangcheng right now. I must make sure that my father-in-law is fine. I will not do anything before I see my father-in-law." Xue Zhaokuan finally gritted his teeth and said this.

There was silence for a while, and then he reluctantly agreed, "Okay! But I have to warn you a little bit, don't play any tricks on me."

"Okay, I'll take my wife to the airport now and take the next flight back to Yangcheng."

Xue Zhaokuan hung up the phone and said to Huang Jiayan, "Pack your luggage quickly. I'll book a flight for you now. Call me after you see your father-in-law. Don't worry, I will make sure they are safe."

"Zhao Kuan, thank you!" Huang Jiayan was so moved that she was already in tears.

Xue Zhaokuan immediately called to book the next flight back to Guangzhou, and then sent Huang Jiayan to the airport.

Along the way, Xue Zhaokuan said a lot of comforting words, "Jia Yan, you are already pregnant, you must take care of your body, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to make sure your father is safe."

By the time Huang Jiayan was sent through security check, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and Xue Zhaokuan drove back alone.

Halfway through the drive, Xue Zhaokuan felt something was wrong. Having worked as Lin Zhiyuan's secretary for a long time, Xue Zhaokuan had learned a lot of advantages and was usually very cautious.

It was night time and there were few cars on the road. Xue Zhaokuan felt that there was a black car following him.

If it were any other time, he would have thought it was an illusion, but after what had just happened, his alertness had been raised to the highest level.

Xue Zhaokuan observed through the rearview mirror several times and finally confirmed that the black Nissan Bluebird behind him was indeed following him.

Xue Zhaokuan was nervous for a while at first, but after calming down, he felt that he would not be in danger for the time being. The people following him were undoubtedly the group who made the phone call. Their purpose was to get information about General Lin from him, and they would not attack him until their goal was achieved.

Xue Zhaokuan's eyes were determined, as if he had found a way to deal with it.

When he was almost home, Xue Zhaokuan slowly pulled the car to the side of the road and stopped in front of a bath center. He did not get out of the car immediately, but found a recorder in the car and carefully put it into his handbag. After doing all this, he got out of the car with his handbag and walked into the door of the bath center.

Two minutes after Xue Zhaokuan entered the gate, the black Nissan Bluebird sedan also stopped in front of the bath center.

There were two men in the car, looking at the door of the bath center in confusion.

"It's so late, why doesn't he go home and come here to take a shower? Is this kid trying to do something?"

"He shouldn't have come to the bath center to play tricks. Shouldn't he have called Lin Zhiyuan directly or gone to Lin's house?"

"Brother, is it possible that this kid is usually controlled by his wife and has no chance. Now that his wife is gone, he ran to the bath center to have fun."

"It's not impossible. If that's the case, this kid is really bold. His father-in-law has been arrested, but he still has the mind to come to the bath center to have fun."

The two men laughed in a way that all men understand.

"Brother, what should we do now? Should we follow him in?" The man who was speaking had a frown on his face, and he looked as wretched as he could be.

"Okay, follow me in. But let's not go in together. You go first. I'll make a phone call and ask for instructions."

Two men, one tall and one short, got out of the car. The short one went into the gate first, while the tall one stayed there and made a phone call.

"Master Bai, we followed your instructions and followed Xue Zhaokuan all the time. But after sending his wife on the plane, he didn't go home but went to the bath center. What should we do now?"

A sigh of relief came from the other end. "This kid didn't go directly to Lin Zhiyuan, which means he has other ideas. If he has ideas, it's easy to deal with. You two follow him in. If you have a chance, you can talk to him. Remember, don't scare him. Use reason and emotion to tempt him with benefits."

"Understood, Master Bai, I know what to do."
