After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 230 - 225: I’ll Help You Find the Person, You Leave This Place

Chapter 230: Chapter 225: I’ll Help You Find the Person, You Leave This Place

The person she hypnotized yesterday only mentioned the basement; as to which basement Li Hongjin was locked in, he was clueless.

At his age, it was uncertain whether his old bones could withstand such torment.

Meanwhile, at the Bai Family’s residence.

Qin Jiangsheng woke up early in the morning with his right eyelid twitching terribly. He sat up in bed and rubbed it, and it eased slightly, but his mind was still in turmoil.

So he went to the living room to drink some water, but as soon as he picked up the glass, Qu Rong’s phone call came through. Since he had dismissed Qu Rong, he had gotten a new driver, and Old Sir Bai didn’t mind as long as he was happy.

It had been days since he’d seen Qu Rong, and he had no idea what Qu Rong had been up to recently.

So he answered the call, and Qu Rong was panting, "Things have taken a bad turn, Miss Tiantian headed to Hei City. Young Master Qin, you need to rush over and stop her before she meets Ninth Young Master."

His tea-colored eyes suddenly widened, and the glass in his hand fell and shattered on the floor, "What did you say?"

"She’s gone to find Ninth Young Master!"

Qin Jiangsheng turned and headed for the door; he didn’t even wait for his driver. He drove straight to Hei City, determined to intercept Ji Tian before she got there.

He ran several red lights on the way, and by ten o’clock, he had reached Hei City. He parked his car outside and sprinted through a convenience passageway towards the top floor where Mo Jiu often worked.

Meanwhile, Ji Tian arrived at the entrance of Mo Jiu’s office under the police’s escort.

As they pushed open the door, they found a group of tea-drinking black-clad bodyguards, all on guard upon seeing the police. But their expressions relaxed after understanding the situation.

"Ninth Young Master is on the 33rd floor; you’ve come to the wrong place."

The leading officer was a bit embarrassed, "I thought it was the 23rd floor, cough, so it’s actually on the 33rd."

The group then waited for the elevator again.

Ji Tian watched the slowly changing numbers and knew they were now past the agreed time. But since they were already in Hei City, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.

She observed her surroundings which genuinely resembled a wood company’s office, just with fewer staff on hand; still, they had all the necessary documents.

The elevator stopped at the 23rd floor, the doors opened, and Qin Jiangsheng came out and grabbed Ji Tian’s hand to leave.

"Hey? Qin Jiangsheng?"

Seeing him with a cold face and an aura of cold air around him, Ji Tian, who was worried the police might misunderstand, said directly, "Wait for me, I need to talk to my friend for a moment."

Qin Jiangsheng, avoiding the surveillance cameras, led Ji Tian into a storage room familiarly. In her haste, Ji Tian hadn’t thought about why he would be there.

"What’s wrong? What’s happened? Why are you so panicked?"

After closing the door, Qin Jiangsheng’s breathing grew heavier, clearly showing that he had run all the way there.

"Don’t go," Qin Jiangsheng said, his voice steadying.

Ji Tian froze, "Why? Mo Jiu has kidnapped my mentor Li Hongjin; I have to get him back."

The storage room was filled with lumber, and the air was thick with the scent of fresh wood. Qin Jiangsheng used his body to block Ji Tian’s way out.

She shouldn’t go on this trip; if she did, it was very likely she wouldn’t come back.

Ever since he had decided to leave the organization, Mo Jiu hadn’t shared many things with him, such as the capture of Li Hongjin and, for example, today’s meeting with Ji Tian.

If it hadn’t been for Qu Rong, he would have had no clue.

Seeing that the young man didn’t reply, Ji Tian pushed at him, "Move aside, I can’t ignore my mentor. If I don’t find him now, soon there might be no one left who remembers him."

He had never had good days, and in his old age, he was kidnapped twice. The first time he called Li Shizhong, he was rejected outright, telling the kidnappers to just tear up the ticket if they wanted; he wouldn’t give a penny.

The second time, he was taken away with ill intent by Mo Jiu. When the police notified Li Shizhong, a day and a night passed without any reaction from him, he even denied the news of Li Hongjin’s return to the capital, claiming ignorance.

He displayed ingratitude to its fullest extent. If it weren’t for the fame of the Li Family’s Ancient Medicine, how could he have climbed to such a high position and become an authority in the medical community?

"Tiantian, Mo Jiu is a very dangerous man; you must not put yourself in jeopardy," Qin Jiangsheng reached out and pinned Ji Tian against the wall, making her temporarily immobile.

Ji Tian took a deep breath and asked earnestly, "Do you know him well?"

As her words fell, Qin Jiangsheng’s breathing became much shallower. After five seconds of silence, he finally spoke, "Yes."

Ji Tian stared intently at his face, something fleeting crossed her mind, but she couldn’t grasp it.

"You..."

"Tiantian, I will go look for the person myself, you leave here, all right?" He was very afraid of Mo Jiu meeting her.

It was like an unpredictable disaster, needing only a fuse, and Ji Tian was that fuse. He couldn’t imagine the consequence of an explosion, only feeling a sense of panic.

It was his first time feeling such panic.

As time ticked away, Ji Tian finally softened her stance, looking down at the tips of her shoes, "Mhm."

Qin Jiangsheng let out a sigh of relief, "Leave now, I will do my best to help you find your master."

He finally stepped aside, allowing Ji Tian to leave. As she approached the door, Ji Tian suddenly asked, "Qin Jiangsheng, are you very familiar with Hei City A3 District?"

With his back to Ji Tian, Qin Jiangsheng’s knuckles on the door handle turned white with tension, eventually he said softly, "Very familiar, nobody knows Hei City better than I do. Tiantian, you got the message yesterday, right? Where is your master being held?"

Ji Tian looked up at his back and pursed her lips before replying, "The basement..."

"I understand."

He opened the door and walked out, Ji Tian followed him a few steps, "Make sure you come back safe."

"Mhm."

He never turned around to face Ji Tian from beginning to end.

Some truths had quietly been pierced through, he didn’t know how Ji Tian would see him now. He had long since stopped caring about how others looked at him, but for Ji Tian alone, he didn’t want her to be the slightest bit disappointed with him.

It wasn’t until he had left that Ji Tian said to the police, "I don’t want to meet Mo Jiu, let’s go back."

"You’re not looking for him anymore?"

Ji Tian raised her eyes to see him entering the elevator, then she pressed her lips together and smiled, "Not for now."

She couldn’t worry Qin Jiangsheng. It was her first time seeing him so anxious, forbidding her from going somewhere. She had to listen to him at least once. On her way there, she had gambled on whether Li Hongjin was still in Hei City or not.

Now Qin Jiangsheng had taken over the matter, placing himself in a perilous position while ensuring her safety.

During the elevator ride downstairs, she had time to sort out her thoughts, and some things became very simple.

Qin Jiangsheng, oh Qin Jiangsheng, he worked for Mo Jiu, he belonged to Hei City.

...

On the top floor, Mo Jiu put on his finest peacock blue suit and even sprayed his hair with hairspray. Although Ji Tian was not Yin Man, he had to present his best self, even if Yin Man was gone and he had a replacement, it could soothe his lonely soul.

He had even planned where to imprison Ji Tian once she entered, he would not hurt her because she was his physical "Yin Man."
