"That has nothing to do with me. How should I put it? Yang Zixuan and I are great friends. I can't just leave her be."

"Just friends, not even a girlfriend. Do you think it's worth it?"

"Worth it, absolutely worth it!" Ling Zhenfei said with such certainty.

"What if you lose your life?"

"Losing my life, so what? It would still be worth it."

Zheng Tingting suddenly felt that the man before her became so much more impressive. She never imagined that someone would risk their life to save her, maybe even lose their life in the process.

All along, she had been very independent since she was young, enjoying freedom and wandering around freely. She had almost traveled to all the fun places in the country by herself, handling any situation or danger on her own.

She originally thought she was very strong, but last night everything changed. When she and her father were kidnapped and the robbers intended to do such things to her, her strong heart finally crumbled. Upon hearing that Ling Zhenfei traveled from Binyang to the Provincial City just to save a friend, Zheng Tingting suddenly felt very envious of that girl named Yang Zixuan.

She had grown up in a wealthy family, always having more toys and snacks than other children. But today, she finally understood what it meant to envy others.

When will she ever have someone like that, who would risk everything to save her in her most dangerous moments? She searched through her mind and couldn't think of anyone.

"Ahead is Kong Jingshan. I wonder where the robbers are."

After walking for over an hour, the car finally reached the back mountain of Kong Jingshan. However, looking at the vast expanse of continuous mountains and forests, Ling Zhenfei felt a bit overwhelmed.

Such a large area of forest, without any clear markers, could take forever to find.

He dialed the robbers again, but strangely, their phone was off once more.

Ling Zhenfei was so angry he nearly threw the phone away, but there was no other option but to wait, hoping the robbers would contact him.

Fortunately, this time he had a beauty by his side, so it wouldn't be as boring as before.

Zheng Tingting seemed very curious about Ling Zhenfei's affairs, constantly asking about him. Since he was bored anyway, he started to tell her about his current situation, eventually talking about the predicament Xishan Manor was facing, making Zheng Tingting anxious on his behalf.

Just then, Zhou Yun called. Ling Zhenfei, worried about Xishan Manor, quickly answered the call.

"Zhenfei, something terrible has happened. All the buyers have left, saying there's a problem with our vegetables. What is going on?"

Hearing Zhou Yun's voice almost in tears, Ling Zhenfei, who had sworn to himself that he would never let her cry again, felt a sudden pang of pain.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Someone's just causing trouble. Our products are fine; they'll be in high demand. Besides, we've already signed long-term supply contracts with them. Once we prove our innocence in a few days, they'll compensate us."

"Really, Zhenfei? That would be great news. Just now, Yu Deshui brought people from the Quality Supervision Bureau, several other departments, and many reporters to sample our vegetables. They said they're taking them for testing. Did you know about this?"

"Yes, I know. Don't worry, just rest for now. You've been overworked. I guarantee there will be plenty for you to do later."

Ling Zhenfei said these words only to comfort Zhou Yun. The specifics of the situation could only be tackled step by step; it wasn't that simple.

"I do want to rest, but what about the vegetables in the greenhouse?"

"If no one buys them, we'll eat them ourselves. Distribute the vegetables to everyone; don't waste them. They're so good and precious that I usually can't bear to eat them."

Chuckle!

Ling Zhenfei's words made Zhou Yun laugh, breaking into a smile. She said a few caring words and then hung up.

Zheng Tingting had been seriously listening to Ling Zhenfei's call, her face full of envy.

Just then, Ling Zhenfei's phone rang again. The robbers finally called back.

"Hello, I'm at Kong Jingshan. Where are you?"

The person on the other end suddenly went silent before coldly saying, "Sorry, you're late again. I'm no longer at Kong Jingshan."

Ling Zhenfei was so furious he almost exploded. What kind of kidnappers were these? Kidnappers wanted money, but these ones kept changing locations, not seeming like they wanted money at all, almost as if they were playing with him.

"What do you mean? Don't you want money? I've brought the money. You keep changing locations. Do you even have the person, or are you just messing with me?"

The kidnapper on the other end laughed coldly, "I love messing with you. You like playing the hero, right? Then obediently let me play with you. I'm at the National Park now. Come if you want to save Yang Zixuan. If not, get ready to collect her corpse."

After saying this, the kidnapper hung up again. Ling Zhenfei suddenly felt a sense of calm. He realized this matter wasn't simple. Connecting the events he had experienced, he finally pieced together some unusual elements.

First, Yang Zixuan was sent to the Provincial City on a business trip. Then, two days ago, Huo Tian and Huo Long came to buy his vegetables, threatening that if he didn't agree, his vegetables wouldn't sell in two days. Yesterday morning, Yang Zixuan took a car to the Provincial City, and that night he got the kidnapper's call. In other words, Yang Zixuan hadn't been in the Provincial City long before she was kidnapped.

Yang Zixuan was either very unlucky or the timing was too coincidental. Then he took a night train to the Provincial City, got into a taxi, and was kidnapped. From the conversation between Brother Gou and Xiao Lei, he heard Brother Gou say that they were only supposed to grab one person. Zheng Yuhai and Zheng Tingting were just unlucky to be caught. This made him think the robbers were targeting him.

Especially after he stabbed Xiao Lei's hand, after which Xiao Lei mentioned someone named Brother Liu. Who was Brother Liu? What did he arrange? Was it a plan to kidnap him? That remained a mystery.

Then he arrived at the refinery, where the kidnapper wasn't in the agreed location but at Kong Jingshan. After that, he received calls from Zhou Yun and Fatty, saying Xishan Manor was blocked and people online were slandering their vegetables, calling them mutated. Their supply channels were destroyed.

Each step connected to the next, each link interconnected. The moment he left Binyang, Xishan Manor faced trouble, while the robbers in the Provincial City kept changing locations, seemingly stalling for time.
