74: Chapter 74: He saved her son, and she didn't even say thank you.

Facing Captain Qin's inquiry,

before Luo Wei could open his mouth to explain,

Chen Aila immediately held up her phone.

"Captain Qin, regarding this kidnapping case, I actually asked Luo Wei for help."

"Last night, I received a threatening text message..."

Chen Aila explained while showing the messages she had received on her phone.

Captain Qin looked serious and quickly had the technicians investigate the number that sent the messages.

Chen Yaoting was startled when he saw the messages; he hadn't expected his daughter to be involved in this kidnapping case!

"Captain Qin, this is the text I received today..." Chen Aila continued to show the messages.

"The other party told me to buy newspapers, scissors, and glue. They clearly wanted to use me to create a ransom note..."

"I was extremely terrified and helpless at the time, so I went to Luo Wei for help..."

Hearing Chen Aila's account, Chen Yaoting felt a bitter taste in his heart.

When his daughter encountered such a dangerous situation, she hadn't contacted him first.

Instead, she sought help from Luo Wei. It seemed that Luo Wei's relationship with her was far from simple!

After Chen Aila finished her story, Luo Wei added his own details.

"Yesterday, when I was driving past an abandoned factory in the Eastern Suburbs,"

"I happened to see a blonde man carrying a Little Boy into the factory. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time."

"This morning, Aila found me and said her younger brother had been kidnapped."

"I immediately thought back to the scene I saw yesterday."

"So, I took Aila to that abandoned factory in the Eastern Suburbs."

"After I snuck into the factory, I coincidentally overheard the kidnapper talking on the phone with Zheng Xiangqian."

"I discovered there was only one kidnapper inside the abandoned factory, so I tried to subdue him."

"But I failed, and the kidnapper escaped. However, I successfully rescued the child!"

Hearing Luo Wei's story, Sun Long couldn't help but jump out and question him, "Why did you go to the factory alone? Why didn't you call the police at that time?"

Luo Wei smiled. He couldn't say to their faces that he wanted to earn Chen Yaoting's gratitude.

He had already prepared an excuse for this.

"Because I wasn't sure if the Little Boy I saw yesterday was Chen Xuan."

"If I had called the police and it turned out to be a false alarm, it would have definitely delayed your investigation."

"So, I took a risk and went to the factory myself."

Luo Wei's explanation was impeccable.

But Sun Long felt that this matter was full of suspicious points.

Captain Qin guessed Luo Wei's intentions, but he didn't say it out loud.

As long as the child was found safely and smoothly, that was enough.

He was impatient to get back to processing the Taian Company case.

Just then, the team members out on the mission called Captain Qin.

"Captain, we've apprehended Zheng Xiangqian!"

"He has confessed everything and admitted that he was the one secretly plotting this kidnapping!"

Learning this, Captain Qin breathed a sigh of relief. This case had come to a successful conclusion!

He gripped Luo Wei's hand and shook it. "Mr. Luo, you've done me another big favor. I'll buy you a drink some other day!"

Luo Wei nodded and accepted Captain Qin's thanks.

However, the system notification sound still hadn't appeared.

How strange.

The kidnapped child had been found.

Zheng Xiangqian, the mastermind behind the kidnapping, had also been caught.

He had clearly grasped the information, so why hadn't the system provided any intelligence points?

Luo Wei was very confused, but he knew the system wouldn't make a mistake!

This meant that this matter was not actually over!

At this time, Captain Qin led his men away from the mansion.

Sun Long was exasperated but helpless. As soon as he stepped out the door, he tripped and fell flat on his face, knocking out two of his front teeth.

Chen Yaoting didn't care about such things. Looking dignified, he extended his hand toward Luo Wei.

"Mr. Luo, for this time, and for the last time you helped Aila, thank you very much."

"You're welcome, Mr. Chen," Luo Wei said politely as he shook his hand.

"Actually, I'm a Private Investigator."

"Although you didn't commission me to help this time,"

"I did help you find your child after all."

"Mr. Chen, don't you think you should give me some token of appreciation?"

Luo Wei's bluntness surprised Chen Yaoting, but he liked straightforward people.

If Luo Wei had been coy about not needing a reward, that would have been a real headache.

"Rest assured, Mr. Luo, I will definitely thank you properly. And the same goes for Aila..."

Chen Yaoting looked at his daughter, Chen Aila.

However, Chen Aila subconsciously stepped back as if avoiding a venomous snake.

If she hadn't been worried that Luo Wei would be misunderstood by the police, Chen Aila would never have come to this place.

Rejected by his daughter, Chen Yaoting smiled awkwardly and decided to focus on Luo Wei.

"Mr. Luo, why don't you come to my study for a cup of tea?"

"No need!" Chen Aila refused on Luo Wei's behalf.

She could guess that Chen Yaoting would definitely ask Luo Wei to help mend the relationship between father and daughter.

Chen Aila did not want Luo Wei to get involved in the matters between her and Chen Yaoting.

Being rejected in every way by his daughter, Chen Yaoting was very distressed.

He could only smile bitterly and didn't push it.

"Wait a moment, both of you. I'm going to get something."

Chen Yaoting quickly entered the study, though it was unclear what he was getting.

Chen Aila went directly to the entrance hall to wait; she was impatient to leave.

Luo Wei, on the other hand, was admiring the luxurious decor of the mansion with interest.

He couldn't help but activate his Eye of Thoroughness.

He wanted to see if this villa had any secret rooms or similar places.

The Eye of Thoroughness easily saw through the walls, giving him a complete view of the entire villa.

At this moment, the Little Boy who had been rescued from the abandoned factory was being bathed by his mother on the second floor.

That beautiful woman, who looked like a goddess, didn't have the joy of recovering what she had lost on her face; instead, she looked somewhat terrified.

Her kidnapped son had returned safely, yet she wasn't happy. What was the reason for this?

Luo Wei's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly figured something out!

Just then, Chen Yaoting walked out of the study.

He handed a bank card and a business card to Luo Wei.

"The card contains your reward. The password is Aila's birthday."

"Also, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can give me a call!"

Chen Yaoting was a titan of industry; obtaining his promise was something countless people dreamed of.

But Luo Wei's reaction was very calm. He took the bank card and business card and left immediately.

Once outside with Chen Aila, he threw Chen Yaoting's gold-embossed business card onto the ground without hesitation.

Chen Aila had been very worried that Luo Wei would take the opportunity to suck up to Chen Yaoting. Seeing this scene, she immediately beamed with joy!

"By the way..." Luo Wei turned his head to look back at the mansion behind him, "What is your stepmother's name?"

"That woman is not my stepmother!" Chen Aila pinched Luo Wei's arm with a stern face.

Luo Wei chuckled and continued, "That woman is something else. I saved her son, and she didn't even say thank you."

Chen Aila nodded with disdain. "That woman's name is Xiao Mengqi. She's just a gold-digger who clings to rich men. She has no class."

Luo Wei nodded and didn't continue the topic. He handed the bank card Chen Yaoting had given him to Chen Aila.

"I don't know your birthday. Please transfer the money from the card to my account."

Chen Aila didn't understand why Luo Wei was taking this unnecessary step.

"I can tell you my birthday, and you can make the transfer yourself."

"I don't want to know your birthday!" Luo Wei quickly refused.

"I'm too lazy to prepare a birthday gift for you!"

Lines of frustration appeared on Chen Aila's forehead. This guy was truly obnoxious!

"I have things to do, so I won't be seeing you home!" Waving his hand, Luo Wei quickly slipped away...
