168: Find the kidnappers and hostages, the cruel truth behind the trafficking
The call with Jiang Qianyu lasted for over half an hour.
To successfully ambush Zhou Xianlong, Gao Ze explained his plan in great detail.
The system intelligence had already revealed the fatal problems of Feima Group, and also disclosed the key personnel who held the information.
As long as Jiang Qianyu and Lili followed his plan, a silent financial strangulation could be witnessed tomorrow.
Not only would Jiang Qianyu's Jiahua Group participate,
but the Holy Light Investment Company, which he co-founded with Li Qingshu, would also be involved to profit.
Of course, his wife Li Qingyan's Yanxiu Group would also be indispensable.
The premise was that Qing Yan had to trust his information and believe in his financial investment capabilities.
After the call ended, Gao Ze stopped working and went straight to bed to rest, as physical and mental well-being were his capital.
No matter how busy he was, he had to take good care of his body.
If he overworked himself, the police leadership and many citizens would be heartbroken.
There were so many merits and cases in Donghai City; he couldn't be absent.
The next morning.
Feeling completely refreshed, after a simple wash-up, Gao Ze left his home, intending to head directly to Zhou Xiaodong's villa.
The kidnapping case of Zhou Xiaodong's son already weighed on Han Fenglin's mind, and now his beloved daughter Han Jingmei had also disappeared.
The Jinghai District Criminal Investigation Brigade certainly wouldn't dare to relax and would undoubtedly work overtime through the night.
However, just as he opened the door, Gao Ze saw a female figure standing at the doorway.
It was Li Qingshu.
"Qing Shu, why are you here?"
Gao Ze had absolutely not expected Li Qingshu to appear here so early in the morning and almost instinctively executed a grappling move, fortunately controlling himself.
"I came to thank you, Mr. Gao.
Thank you for being willing to help with my mother's beauty salon!"
Li Qingshu also felt uncomfortable standing at her cousin Li Qingyan's doorstep.
Her face flustered, she lifted the food container in her hand and said, "These are dumplings my mom made.
Mr. Gao, you probably haven't eaten yet, right?
My mom asked me to bring them up to you."
Forcibly placing it in Gao Ze's hand, Li Qingshu's face flushed slightly as she ran towards the elevator.
Her snow-white long dress billowed, revealing slender, fair, and beautiful legs, and a high ponytail.
Her figure, leaping in the morning light, was pure and captivating.
"Wait, Qing Shu, I have something to do this afternoon.
Mobilize all the liquid funds you can, and follow my instructions!"
Unlike Jiang Qianyu, Li Qingshu completely trusted his investment capabilities, so Gao Ze didn't need to explain much.
"Also, if Liu Jingming shows any signs of disloyalty after the 'Sheep a Sheep' game becomes a hit, tell me.
Additionally, prepare for crisis management in advance, preferably by expanding the game development team and operations personnel, and building up talent reserves."
After Zhou Xianlong investigated the 'Sheep a Sheep' game, he would definitely incite Liu Jingming to create internal conflicts.
However, Gao Ze didn't know how Liu Jingming would choose, nor would he give him a chance to choose.
If Liu Jingming was sensible and recognized the current situation, he could retain his current position and income.
If he thought about rebelling, only replacement awaited him.
He was just a minor interlude, his biggest purpose was to enhance Li Qingshu's abilities.
"Okay, I will arrange it!"
Li Qingshu nodded in the elevator, not asking for the reason.
She would naturally know everything afterward, and besides, Mr. Gao had never deceived her; she had always gained many benefits.

Suhe Huating Community.
Gao Ze arrived at Zhou Xiaodong's villa.
As he had expected, Wei Haoran and more than a dozen police officers were still in the villa, with obvious dark circles under their eyes, showing their exhaustion.
"Officer Gao, you're finally here!"
Wei Haoran gritted his teeth, seeing Gao Ze looking full of energy, and he didn't need to guess.
Gao Ze definitely went home to rest and probably didn't care about the kidnapping case of Zhou Xiaodong's son at all.
"Hello, Wei Team Leader, you've really worked hard.
Have you found anything in your investigation?"
Gao Ze sighed inwardly, thinking he should have let them all rest last night; at least they wouldn't be so tired.
However, an old criminal investigator like Wei Haoran, who had been in the field for many years, definitely wouldn't do that.
He didn't look at merits but at hard work.
If Han Fenglin saw him working so hard on the case, he wouldn't blame him too severely.
"No, since Han Jingmei disappeared last night, the kidnappers haven't sent any calls or messages!"
"We've investigated from all directions, but we haven't found the whereabouts of the child Zhou Xinchen or Ms. Han Jingmei.
I feel that the longer this drags on, the worse the outcome will be.
I'm afraid that in the end, both mother and son will fall into the hands of the kidnappers."
Wei Haoran shook his head, suppressing the indignation on his face.
Despite his dissatisfaction, the kidnapping case of Zhou Xiaodong and Zhou Xinchen still had to rely on Gao Ze.
If Gao Ze slept for a night and still couldn't solve the case, it wouldn't be too late to blame him then.
Gao Ze didn't know what Wei Haoran was thinking and said directly, "Then come with me!"
Wei Haoran asked, puzzled, "Go, where?"
"To find Han Jingmei and the kidnapper Xu Ning霜!"
"You know where they are?"
If it were based on normal investigative reasoning, it would certainly be difficult to know, at least it would take several days, but the system intelligence had already revealed the location where Xu Ning霜 kidnapped the child Zhou Xinchen.
It was in the woods of Tianhe Village, Wukou Township, Jinshan District, Donghai City.
Gao Ze did not respond or explain, quickly leading Wei Haoran and the Jinghai District police to drive towards Tianhe Village.
"What kind of place is this?
Why is it so remote?"
Wei Haoran sat in the car, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding countryside.
Donghai City, as a super-first-tier prosperous metropolis, rarely had impoverished rural areas, but Tianhe Village in Wukou Township was an exception.
It was located in an industrial zone, with many factories nearby, and many villages situated in desolate land and wilderness.
Driving over the concrete ground,Bypass fields, and entering the interior of Tianhe Village, no young people could be seen, only a few elderly people raising chickens and ducks.
This was a microcosm of many rural areas.
Tianhe Village was still much better than those poor villages, at least in Donghai City, there was still hope for future development and land acquisition, and their children also worked in Donghai City.
"Officer Gao, there are no kidnappers or Ms. Han Jingmei in this village.
Are you mistaken?"
Gao Ze did not explain how he discovered this location.
Wei Haoran's eyes were full of suspicion, and he said with a hint of anger, "If there's a mistake in the case, both you and I will bear responsibility."
Gao Ze didn't speak, his gaze turning to Zhou Xiaodong beside Wei Haoran.
Zhou Xiaodong was trembling and shouted, "I've been to this place.
This is the village where the human trafficker who abducted my daughter Zhou Lina lived.
It's said that my daughter was also killed here!"
Wei Haoran's eyes widened in realization.
Gao Ze had already walked away, and following his steps, they soon arrived at a patch of woods behind the village.
Several off-road vehicles and SUVs were parked at the entrance of the woods, and one of the license plates was conspicuously [Hai A8534].
