149: The Fear of the Captain of Jinghai District

“Mr. Zhou, your child was kidnapped?”

The voice on the other end of the phone made Gao Ze freeze. Could the Jinghai District child kidnapping case announced by the intelligence system be Zhou Xiaodong's child?

“Where do you live?”

Zhou Xiaodong asked in confusion, “My home is in Suhe Huating, Jinghai District. Why?”

The missing child of Zhou Xiaodong is probably the child of the parents in the Jinghai District child disappearance case announced by the intelligence system.

Gao Ze was already able to confirm, and asked, “How old is your child, and how did he go missing?”

“My child, Zhou Xinchen, is seven years old this year. I don't know exactly how he went missing!”

Zhou Xiaodong said, “My wife said he went missing when she was buying milk tea, and then she looked for him for over an hour but couldn't find him, and then she received a kidnapping text message on her phone!”

“Now my wife has called the police, but I trust your ability more, Officer Gao!”

“Mr. Gao, don't worry. You helped me in the Jiahua Group incident, and I will help you find your kidnapped child!”

“The prior promise to help you find that missing daughter also counts!”

Among all the Jiahua shareholders, Zhou Xiaodong was the one Gao Ze admired the most. Not only was he disciplined and self-restrained, not involved in corruption or affair scandals, but when the fire broke out, he rushed up immediately, just like him.

Zhou Xiaodong was a wealthy businessman with a net worth of two to three billion.

At his position, he had enjoyed countless good things in the world, yet he could still sacrifice himself to help others, which was extremely rare even among ordinary people.

“Officer Gao, thank you!”

Zhou Xiaodong's tone paused, and a warm current flowed through his heart.

“Where are you now?”

“I'm going home!”

“Then wait for me at the entrance of your residential community. When I get there, I will ask your wife about the specific situation!”

After a quick chat, Gao Ze ended the call and had Lili drive to Suhe Huating in Jinghai District.

“What happened? Zhou Xiaodong's child was kidnapped?”

Lili turned to look at Gao Ze in the passenger seat, her fair face expressing shock, “How could this happen?”

“I'm not sure. We'll know what happened when we get there!”

Gao Ze shook his head and smiled, “Zhou Xiaodong's child being kidnapped is not something you should be concerned about. What you should be concerned about is what I mentioned to you before we entered the Peace Hotel.”

“I told you to consider whether to hand over Jiang Ruiming's weakness to me. Have you thought it through?”

Lili hesitated for a moment and said, “I need to know first how you will deal with Jiang Ruiming, Mr. Gao?”

“It seems you don't want Jiang Ruiming to suffer a huge price. Have you developed feelings for him?”

Jiang Qianyu had already secured over 30% of the supporting shares, so it was impossible for Jiang Ruiming to take over the Jiahua Group now. But even in this situation, Lili was still hesitating, and Gao Ze was curious about the reason.

“How is that possible?”

Lili rolled her eyes at Gao Ze and said, “Jiang Ruiming is interested in me, but I don't like him. However, I have to admit, he is a capable person and has shown me kindness.”

“I can hand over a weakness that is damaging to Jiang Ruiming, but you have to give me a guarantee, Mr. Gao!”

“You cannot completely destroy Jiang Ruiming!”

“No problem. I just want Jiang Ruiming to hand over his shares and withdraw from the Jiahua Group!”

Gao Ze asked, “But I'm very curious, since Jiang Ruiming is interested in you, he is capable, and he has shown you kindness, why don't you like him?”

“He's very fat and ugly. I can't bring myself to kiss him!”

Gao Ze: “.........”

Looking at his strange expression, Lili laughed with a pleasant, bell-like sound that filled the entire car.

.........

Suhe Huating, Jinghai District.

When Gao Ze arrived at this community, he quickly saw Zhou Xiaodong at the community entrance.

Besides him, there was a slender, exquisitely beautiful woman in her thirties standing at the community entrance, as well as many criminal police officers in uniform.

“Officer Gao, you're here!”

When Zhou Xiaodong saw Gao Ze get out of the car, he quickly ran to greet him. The woman and the criminal police followed him.

Gao Ze's gaze swept past the woman and quickly over the criminal police, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: “Deputy Captain Wei, why are you leading the investigation?”

It was not surprising that the Jinghai District Criminal Investigation Brigade dispatched officers after receiving the report, but among the dozen or so dispatched criminal police, the only people he was familiar with were Deputy Captain Wei Haoran of the Criminal Investigation Brigade and two or three other old faces.

He did not see Captain Han Minghan of the Criminal Investigation Brigade.

“Hello, Officer Gao!”

“Han Team has already gone to the Municipal Bureau to complete his resignation procedures. The Municipal Bureau has asked me to temporarily act as the Captain of the Jinghai District Criminal Investigation Brigade!”

Wei Haoran's face had the appearance of a weathered middle-aged man, though his actual age was nearly forty, seven or eight years older than Han Minghan. Now, as acting captain, he was even more polite to Gao Ze than Han Minghan had been.

“Originally, after receiving the report, we planned to immediately start work. When we heard that Mr. Zhou Xiaodong wanted to wait for you, we were still wondering if it was the same person!”

“I didn't expect it to really be you, Officer Gao. I will follow your guidance and arrangements for this incident!”

“Congratulations on your promotion. I should call you Captain Wei now!”

Gao Ze was surprised by Han Minghan's rapid departure and did not follow up, saying, “Mr. Zhou Xiaodong's son has been kidnapped. As police officers, we should cooperate. There's no talk of guidance or arrangements!”

Wei Haoran nodded repeatedly, but he still had the posture of waiting for Gao Ze to express his views on the case.

He was truly afraid of Gao Ze. The original Captain of Jinghai District was removed because Gao Ze solved the Mu Yurous Case, and Han Minghan's rapid departure was also, to some extent, related to Gao Ze.

Han Minghan was a man of excellent character and remarkable ability, and he also had powerful backing.

Seeing this, Gao Ze sighed helplessly and looked at the woman beside Zhou Xiaodong, asking:

“You are Mr. Zhou Xiaodong's wife, right? What exactly happened with your son's kidnapping?”
