"What's going on in Shanghai recently? There's a sudden rise in kidnappings. It seems that our police station was established specifically to solve kidnapping cases. Even the family members of the Fuxing Society criminals have been kidnapped. I want to ask you, what's going on?
thing?"
In the evening, Zhang Ziyang made a special trip to Wanguo Apartment to seek answers from Lu Ming.
"I'm also wondering. Just a few days after Ms. Ning was rescued, another woman and child were kidnapped this time. These gangsters are too courageous. Don't tell me, Shanghai is really in decline." Lu Ming pretended.
He sighed while stroking his forehead.
Having said that, Lu Ming was actually secretly happy. An Gonggen was very capable and handled the matter in an authentic manner without any omissions.
In broad daylight, in full public view, the person was simply taken away on the street. In the end, no one could tell what the nature of the case was.
Lu Ming was originally worried that there would be a trap here, and his nerves were always on edge.
He stood by the phone in the office, waiting for Dai Li to call him. He kept waiting and couldn't wait. It seemed that he was overthinking.
After spending a few uneasy hours on the Caobang ship, the woman and child have been sent to Jiaxing and are temporarily staying with people from the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea. There is absolutely no problem with their safety.
Lu Ming had already made plans to send them to his hometown in Huzhou after the incident was over.
Lu Ming didn't know why Hou Liang asked him to do this, but his intuition told him that this matter was valuable. Not only was he willing to help, but he should also help.
Now it seems that Hou Liang did not deceive him, and this case will basically become an unsolved case, unless there is a traitor within An Gonggen.
If it ever got to that point and he couldn't be contacted, he would give orders to An Gonggen, and An Gonggen would give orders to the people below, and the people below would find someone to carry them out.
After turning a few corners, the people who went on the mission had no idea who was the mastermind of the kidnapping case. Even if the matter was finally exposed, only people under An Gonggen could be traced.
This method is not Lu Ming's invention, but An Gonggen's consistent approach, out of fear of traitors within.
"Did you take this case?" Lu Ming asked Zhang Ziyang with a smile.
"No, since the last case of Ning Xiner, I vowed never to take on a kidnapping case again, so I resolutely turned it down." Zhang Ziyang said boredly.
Zhang Ziyang is telling the truth. He is now mentally disturbed by the kidnapping case. It was thanks to Lu Ming that he took care of what happened last time. Otherwise, a catastrophe might have happened.
"That's right, this kind of case is basically impossible to solve, unless the kidnapper demands a ransom and then follows the ransom line, maybe the case can be solved. Now that no one has made a ransom demand, it's like finding a needle in a haystack."
Lu Ming said.
"Then you said that the kidnappers were not looking for ransom, but what on earth were they looking for?" Zhang Ziyang asked in confusion.
"I think it might be an act of revenge. Don't forget who Hou Liang is." Lu Ming reminded.
"You mean, this was done by the Communist Party?" Zhang Ziyang nodded repeatedly, indicating his agreement.
"I didn't say anything, just a guess. This kind of thing cannot be confirmed. If the case happens to be solved, maybe you and I will be surprised." Lu Ming pretended to be profound.
Lu Ming was in a good mood at the moment and didn't need to make any more moves. He was just waiting for Hou Liang's next shocking move.
Zhang Ziyang was also in a good mood. He spent a long time with the director to get this case dismissed. Then he was relieved and wanted to have a few drinks with Lu Ming to celebrate.
The two hit it off immediately. Of course Zhang Ziyang would not let Lu Ming go, and would make him bleed profusely. The two came to the Chinachem Hotel to eat Western food.
"By the way, what happened to Mingzhu? How did I hear that she regretted her marriage?" Zhang Ziyang asked while chewing the bloody steak.
He has been busy these days and rarely goes to the hospital. Besides, his relationship with Ning Xiner is not that deep. He only heard about Ming Zhu's regretful marriage this morning.
"It's not like regretting the marriage. Mingzhu was mentally stimulated and wanted to wait until Ning Xiner recovered before discussing the marriage, so she proposed to postpone the wedding." Lu Ming explained.
"It's no wonder for her. You said that her sister-in-law has become like this. Can she feel better? Can she still get married happily?" Zhang Ziyang said with deep sympathy.
"Alas, the key point is that Ning Xiner's kidnapping has something to do with me. She took the blame for me. You said...sigh." Lu Ming smacked his lips.
Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. The fact that Mingzhu regretted her marriage quickly caused an uproar in several big families. Everyone disagreed, thinking that Mingzhu was just a spoiled child who regretted her marriage casually, which was outrageous.
How can you regret an engagement you made since childhood? Do you still have parents in your eyes? Are there any other elders?
Yuan Ziyuan went to her sister for a long talk about this matter, but could not convince Mingzhu.
When the godmother Mrs. Ning went to the hospital to visit her daughter, she called Mingzhu aside to ask about the whole story.
Mingzhu lay on her godmother's lap and cried non-stop, speaking incoherently and unclearly between sobs. Mrs. Ning did not fully understand what was going on in the end.
The godmother was afraid that Mingzhu would break down from crying, so she did not continue to ask further questions. She just asked Mingzhu to return to Caobang one day to elaborate.
In fact, Mrs. Ning also knew the general situation. Ning Zetao had told her the whole story immediately. She came to ask Mingzhu, originally wanting to persuade Mingzhu, but looking at the situation, she couldn't do it for the time being, so she had to give up.
After Sheng Youde and Mingzhu's father got the news, they lost their temper and even wanted to take back Mingzhu's shares in the Sheng family and marry Ziyuan to Lu Ming as compensation.
Lu Ming was quite surprised, and he was so frightened that he quickly stepped forward to convince everyone.
Only then did everyone realize that Mingzhu was suffering from anxiety disorder (old people didn’t even know what anxiety disorder was). This condition was not suitable for marriage, so they could only postpone the wedding until Mingzhu recovered mentally before setting a wedding date.
Everyone saw that Lu Ming understood the truth, and it was not a break from the engagement, but just a postponement of the wedding date, so there was nothing to say, so they had to announce that Lu Ming and Mingzhu's wedding was postponed.
Lu Ming has been busy with this matter these days. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is very worried. The parents of the Yuan family and the Lu family have also come to Shanghai, but they all live in the Liuyuan Garden and are hosted by Sheng Youde.
Lu Ming followed several parents around for two days before finally settling down.
"How is Miss Ning's condition now?" Zhang Ziyang asked with squinted eyes as he tasted Napoleon.
"It's not ideal, it still takes time."
Speaking of this, Lu Ming put down his cup and fork and sighed.
Ning Xiner now suffers from anxiety, phobia, and androphobia. Even Dr. Stephen is a little helpless.
After a long conversation with Dr. Stephen, Lu Ming finally understood that it would take a long time for Ning Xiner to fully recover. It would be best to change to a new environment so that she could gradually get rid of the old memories.
Lu Ming accepted Dr. Stephen's suggestion and prepared to let Ning Xiner undergo treatment in a different environment.
Eric Erikson, the best neurologist and psychoanalyst in the United States, opened a clinic in New York. Mr. Eric was a friend of Dr. Stephen.
Doctor Stephen suggested that Lu Ming send Ning Xiner and Yuan Mingzhu to the United States and ask Mr. Eric to help with their treatment.
Yuan Mingzhu's condition is not serious, but as long as Ning Xiner's illness cannot be significantly improved, her anxiety disorder will not be relieved. It can be said that Ning Xiner's illness is the root cause of Mingzhu's disease. If she wants Yuan Mingzhu to fully recover, Ning Xin must be treated
The child's illness will have to be fully recovered.
After Lu Ming made up his mind, he discussed the matter with Ning Zetao. Ning Zetao thought it was a good plan and immediately agreed.
Ning Xiner and Mingzhu were sent to New York, USA for treatment. For patients with anxiety disorder, traveling and changing to a new environment will have good curative effects.
So the two of them found Dr. Stephen together and entrusted him to persuade the two girls to travel to the United States for treatment.
Ning Xiner and Mingzhu thought about it for a long time before agreeing. They had longed for the opportunity to go sightseeing in the United States, and this was also a rare opportunity.
After Lu Ming got the news, he immediately sent a telegram to Frank, hoping to get help from the teacher. In the reply, Frank readily expressed that he was happy to serve two beautiful Chinese girls.
In fact, the two of them don't have to worry about their lives in the United States. The Sheng family also has a joint venture in New York, so it can be said that there is no difference from home.
Of course, with Mr. Frank's proper arrangements, Lu Ming felt even more at ease.
Lu Ming told Zhang Ziyang that Ning Xiner and Mingzhu were about to go to the United States. Zhang Ziyang also thought this was a good idea. When the time came, Lu Ming could also go to the United States to accompany them.
"Well, very good. Maybe you and Mingzhu can have a Western-style wedding in the United States first, in a church, and then return to China to have a Chinese-style wedding." Zhang Ziyang showed a very envious expression.
"Stop talking about me, you and Cai Lian's wedding must be held in the second half of the year. Nothing can happen again," Lu Ming said.
"Don't worry, we are an old married couple, and the wedding is just a formality." Zhang Ziyang said without shame.
"I have to go through the formalities. At least there is still some joy in this year." Lu Ming sighed.
"What gift are you going to give us when we get married? Don't give us anything to fool us." Zhang Ziyang said slyly.
"Is it enough to give you a house decoration, a complete set of furniture, and all the wedding expenses?" Lu Ming smiled and punched him.
"Well, it's still not enough. How will you live after the wedding?" Zhang Ziyang said with a fake face.
"Then I don't care, I can't support you. Even if you want to pick lotus, you won't." Lu Ming said with a smile.
In fact, the gifts Lu Ming wanted to give to the couple had already been decided. In addition to the above, it was a gift of 50,000 yuan, which could be regarded as a generous fund for Zhang Ziyang and Cai Lian's post-marriage life.
With this generous gift, if you have children in the future, you will not be short of money in terms of life and education.
In fact, Zhang Ziyang's current income is quite high, with thousands of yuan coming into his account every month. However, he and Cai Lian are both people who are used to spending a lot of money. It is impossible for them to live in poverty. Basically, every month they earn a lot of money.
Spend all your money.
"Miss Ning's matter is finally over. Although it is a bit unfortunate, everything will be over after arriving in the United States." Zhang Ziyang breathed a sigh of relief.
Due to Ning Xiner's incident these days, the weekly meeting of Lu Ming and his small circle was completely broken. Even after the incident was over, everyone had no intention of getting together to drink.
"Zi Yang, you are wrong. Miss Ning's matter is not over, it has just begun." Lu Ming sneered.
