70: Chapter 70: All the evidence will prove that you are the kidnapper.
Luo Wei moved very quickly.
It didn't take long for him to arrive at Chen Aila's residence.
Chen Aila, her face full of panic, was already waiting anxiously by the roadside.
At this moment, she was looking around warily; she constantly felt like someone was monitoring her from the shadows!
Seeing Luo Wei drive over, Chen Aila hurried to wave her hand, signaling for him to leave.
Reason told her that Luo Wei shouldn't know about her brother's kidnapping.
Otherwise, Luo Wei's situation would also become very dangerous!
Unexpectedly, Luo Wei suddenly spoke these words!
"I know everything!"
"Get in the car!"
"What?" Chen Aila's expression was one of astonishment.
After getting in and sitting down, she looked at Luo Wei in confusion. "You... what do you know?"
Luo Wei didn't waste words and stated the situation directly, "Your half-brother has been kidnapped!"
Hearing Luo Wei mention this, Chen Aila covered her mouth in horror!
She hadn't breathed a word about this over the phone just now!
She couldn't understand how Luo Wei could possibly know about this.
Coming back to her senses, she hurriedly urged Luo Wei.
"You... hurry up and drive, anywhere is fine!"
Then, she looked out the car window warily, wanting to see if anyone was following them.
After confirming they weren't being followed, she asked Luo Wei anxiously, "How did you know about this?"
Luo Wei didn't answer but instead asked Chen Aila a question.
"And how did you find out?"
"You're scared like this—were you threatened?"
Facing Luo Wei's questioning, Chen Aila's eyes flickered, her pretty face full of hesitation.
She really wanted to nod, but then she remembered the threat of the hostage being killed mentioned in the message!
Chen Aila's silence gave Luo Wei a bit of a headache.
He parked the car in a quiet corner.
Then, he looked seriously at this beautiful woman with chin-length short hair.
"Someone deliberately leaked the news to you; they likely want to harm you!"
"If I'm not mistaken, the other party threatened you not to tell anyone else, right?"
Exactly, that was indeed the case. Chen Aila's pupils constricted; she couldn't comprehend how Luo Wei had guessed it.
Luo Wei reached out his hand toward her. "Show me the message you received."
Chen Aila hesitated for a long while.
Finally, she gritted her teeth, took out her phone, opened the message, and handed it to Luo Wei.
The content of the message was simple: the other party told Chen Aila that her half-brother had been kidnapped.
The sender warned Chen Aila not to disclose the news, or they would kill the hostage!
However, the message did not tell Chen Aila...
Who had kidnapped her brother or where he was being hidden.
In other words, the other party would definitely contact Chen Aila again!
Just then, the phone suddenly received another message.
Chen Aila's face instantly turned deathly pale from fright!
She seriously suspected that the person in the shadows knew she had spoken out!
She was terrified that the other party had already killed her half-brother!
Luo Wei helped her open the message. The other party ordered Chen Aila to buy several newspapers, as well as scissors and glue.
At the same time, the sender ordered Chen Aila to obey obediently, or her half-brother would be killed!
Seeing such a message, Luo Wei frowned.
Through the system's intelligence, he already knew that Zheng Xiangqian was the one who kidnapped Chen Aila's brother!
In other words, the person sending the messages was Zheng Xiangqian. He was using the threat of killing the hostage to manipulate Chen Aila into completing certain tasks!
Buying newspapers, scissors, and glue was clearly preparation for making a ransom note!
If Chen Aila followed the instructions and foolishly made a ransom note...
Once the letter was delivered to Chen Aila's father...
The police would be able to track down Chen Aila in minutes through clues like fingerprints and skin dander on the letter!
When that time came, Chen Aila would become Zheng Xiangqian's perfect scapegoat!
While Luo Wei was thinking about this...
Chen Aila opened the car door, preparing to leave.
"Where are you going?"
"To buy... buy newspapers, scissors, and glue..."
Facing the question, Chen Aila answered truthfully.
Luo Wei's forehead was covered in black lines, and he raised his hand to give her a flick on the forehead!
"Are you stupid? Can't you guess what the person in the shadows wants you to do?"
"I know, but..." Chen Aila clutched her head and began to cry helplessly. "I have no choice. What if they kill him?"
"Kill your head!" Luo Wei roared with a dark face. "The 'killing the hostage' thing is just to scare you!"
"The other party is exploiting your sympathy to make you an accomplice!"
"Once you obediently do everything they say!"
"In the end, all the evidence will prove that you are the kidnapper!"
Chen Aila shuddered at Luo Wei's analysis!
The kidnapper behind the scenes was truly terrifying!
She looked at Luo Wei in terror and helplessness.
She now had absolutely no idea what to do.
Luo Wei signaled for her not to be afraid. "Come on, I'll take you to rescue your brother!"
Suddenly, Chen Aila's eyes widened. "You... do you know where my brother is?"
"I do!" Luo Wei nodded. "Next, you're definitely going to ask how I know, right?"
Exactly. Chen Aila nodded quickly. She suddenly felt that Luo Wei was a stranger; she felt like she didn't know him at all.
"Let's get reacquainted!" Luo Wei reached out his hand to Chen Aila. "Actually, I have another identity. I'm a Private Investigator!"
"I don't believe you for a second!" Chen Aila slapped Luo Wei's hand away.
She didn't believe for a moment that Luo Wei was some Private Investigator.
This guy clearly slacked off at the company with her every day. How could he be a detective?
"Actually, I only recently became a detective," Luo Wei explained with a chuckle. "Don't disbelieve me; being a detective is quite profitable. I haven't been at work these past few days because I've been busy making money!"
"Is that true?" Luo Wei's serious expression made Chen Aila unable to help but believe him a little.
"Of course. But now is not the time for explanations."
"I accidentally discovered that your brother was kidnapped!"
"And I know where he's hidden!"
"If you believe me, I'll take you there right now. If you don't, then forget it!"
"You, well..." Chen Aila still felt something was off. "Since you know where my brother is, why don't you call the police?"
"Are you stupid?" Luo Wei said with a stern face, knocking on her head again. "What benefit do I get from calling the police to provide clues?"
"If I go and rescue your brother myself, then bring him to your father, don't you think your father would give me a few million as thanks?"
Luo Wei's explanation was logical and well-founded; Chen Aila actually couldn't refute it.
But soon, she suddenly realized something!
She looked at Luo Wei in surprise. "You... you know who my father is?"
"Yeah." Luo Wei nodded. "It was also by chance that I found out you're the daughter of a wealthy family!"
"I wonder if I'm qualified to become a son-in-law to a wealthy family!"
Being teased by Luo Wei, Chen Aila's face turned red.
She raised her small fists and gave the guy two thumps...
