Section 16: Criminal Suspects

  Section 16, Criminal Suspects

  A 500-meter ride costs 15 yuan, which makes Ye Qiu feel a bit heartbroken. In his hometown, 15 yuan can buy a pig's trotter. However, thinking that he almost haggled with the driver and wanted to give him 30 yuan to help send it to Tang's, he felt that he wasn't too disadvantaged.

  After paying for the taxi fare, Ye Qiu headed towards the Tang Corporation building.

  The Tang Group is a well-known enterprise in China, but it does not have a ranking among the world's top 100 enterprises. The Chinese attach importance to keeping their wealth under wraps, and some hidden wealthy families are unwilling to come into the spotlight. For example, many people think that Bill Gates is the richest man in the world, but there are not a few people around the world whose assets exceed those of Bill Gates.

  The industries that the Tang family openly operates include real estate, hotels, catering chains, transportation and other industries. After getting in touch with Lin Jiajian, who has a military background, they began to operate aerospace and biological engineering industries. The latter two are relatively secretive and are also the Tang family's true source of income.

  The Tang Building is located on the busiest Central Street in Yanjing, and the entire 47-story building is the office building of the Tang Group. There is also a large square in front of the gate, with the image logo of the Tang's standing in the center of the square. Just now, the driver pointed to the two golden characters "Tang Shi" next to the logo and told Ye Qiu that they had arrived.

  Ye Qiu had just walked to the entrance of the hall when he was stopped by a security guard.

  "Hey, what are you doing?" A tall security guard wearing a brand new uniform blocked Ye Qiu and asked. In his career of working at the Tang Corporation, he had never seen anyone wear Adidas sportswear to enter the corporation - let alone counterfeit goods from street stalls.

  "I'm here looking for someone." Ye Qiu said with a smile.

  "Who is it?"

  "Tang Dynasty clothing."

  "Tang Bu Yi? Who is Tang Bu Yi? Which department is he from? You're not an employee or customer of the Tang's, you can't go in. If you want to find him, you can call him and let him come out to talk." The security guard shook his head and said, although his tone was still somewhat friendly, but his attitude was very firm.

  Come on, is the Tang Corporation that easy to get into? Otherwise, what's the point of having these security guards? They have to work hard to maintain a good image for the company.

  Um, let Tang Bu Yi come out and talk? Ye Qiu actually didn't think he had that much face. Although Tang Bu Yi was still pretty good to him, not treating him like a bodyguard.

  "Old Zhang, our chairman seems to have the surname Tang..." The other security guard next to him, who was more quick-witted, overheard Ye Qiu's words and ran over to whisper to his companion.

  "Isn't that nonsense? The Tang Corporation's chairman, isn't his surname Tang, is it Zhang? Ah, what's our chairman's name again?"

  "Last time I took a look at the company's image manual, on the first page there was an introduction - it seemed to be called Tang Bu Yi - Tang Bu Yi?"

  The two of them looked at each other in dismay, what a coincidence!

  "You said you were looking for Tang Bu Yi?"

  Yes.

  "Which department?"

  "No department." Ye Qiu shook his head. "Seems like it's your boss."

  "Are you here to see our chairman?" The two men looked at Ye Qiu with a vigilant expression. "Who are you? What do you want from him?"

  "What's going on?" A crisp and pleasant voice rang out. The three of them looked over together, a beautiful woman wearing a white professional suit, with curly hair and a purple silk scarf tied around her long neck, was walking towards them with a gentle pace.

  "Lei Secretary, that's right. This person says he is looking for Chairman Tang." Old Zhang naturally recognized this elegant and refined woman, so he explained with a smile.

  Lei's secretary nodded and looked at Ye Qiu for a while before smiling and asking: "Are you Ye Qiu?"

  "Yes." Ye Qiu nodded and said. It's much more comfortable dealing with women.

  "I am Secretary Lei Yu of the General Manager's Office. Mr. Wang asked me to come and invite you over." Lei Yu became even more polite after confirming that the man in front of him was indeed the person Mr. Wang was looking for, even changing his form of address.

  "Alright, thank you." Ye Qiu nodded and followed Lei Yu upstairs.

  The two security guards behind him stared with wide eyes and looked incredulous.

  Tang Bu Yi received Ye Qiu in his own office, personally poured a cup of tea for Ye Qiu after sitting down smilingly opposite to him and asked warmly: "Ye Qiu, are you getting used to living in Yanjing?"

  "It's okay." Ye Qiu smiled and nodded. Thinking that if it weren't for his precious daughter always causing trouble, he would be living a better life.

  "This time I'm really troubling you. My daughter, since she was young, has been spoiled by me and has a somewhat arrogant personality. If there's anything she did that wasn't right, as her father, I apologize to you on her behalf. Please forgive her." Tang Bu Yi said with a sincere expression.

  If this gets out, it will definitely cause a stir in Yanjing. The head of the Tang Corporation actually apologized to a newly hired bodyguard at home - - - -. To be honest, Ye Qiu himself felt a bit strange.

  With the Tang family's wealth, it shouldn't be difficult to find a bodyguard, right? Whether they're from the national special forces or trained by some hunting organization, as long as you pay, they'll come. He doesn't need to be so polite to himself.

  "Miss Tang's heart isn't all bad." Ye Qiu said with a smile.

  This sentence is not said to flatter Tang Bu Yi, but it's Ye Qiu's true feeling towards Tang Guo. If she were bad enough, there wouldn't be a situation where she held the knife for half a day and couldn't stab, finally running upstairs in anger.

  How many of those young masters and ladies from wealthy families treat their servants as human beings?

  When Ye Qiu praised Tang Guo, Tang Bu Yi's chubby face almost smiled into a flower. Laughing and saying: "Yes, this girl is just mouthy, typical knife-mouthed tofu heart. She enthusiastically helped others, but always ended up offending people. It's really frustrating."

  Ye Qiu didn't come to discuss Tang San's daughter's character with Tang Bu Yi, of course. As the sect leader, Tang Bu Yi had a million things to attend to and couldn't possibly have a lot of time to waste. So Ye Qiu didn't respond to Tang Bu Yi's joke and immediately got down to business.

  "Uncle Tang, the main reason I came this time is to discuss with you about the incident of Miss Tang being kidnapped. Last night was my first experience, and it turned out that the opponent had done their homework well in advance and had a thorough understanding of Miss Tang. It was a premeditated and organized kidnapping."

  "Tang Uncle is a public figure in the business world, so it's inevitable that some petty people will harbor resentment towards him. I want to know if Tang Uncle has any suspects in mind? After all, we can't always be on the defensive, being able to take the initiative to investigate and get to the bottom of things is the only way to ensure Miss Tang's safety without a single mishap."

  Tang Bu Yi's chubby round face, which had been smiling just a moment before, gradually lost its smile and now truly possessed the dignity of the chairman of the Noda Financial Group. After a brief pause, he said: "I've also recently had someone investigate this matter, and there are two people with the strongest motives for the crime."
