Chapter 510 A Good Chance of Blackmail
Although Xue Tao’s father didn’t admit, he knew it in his mind.
He’d rather believe that Xue Tao was caught by Song Yunxuan than he stayed in the Shao enterprise.
Xue Tao’s mother was worried.
Xue Tao’s father observed her concerning look. He hesitated but gave Shao Tianze a call.
“h.e.l.lo, Chairman Shao. This is Xue Jianxiong from the Shen Da Enterprise.”
“h.e.l.lo, Chairman Xue.”
Shao Tianze asked politely, “May I help you?”
“This is the case. I have trouble getting through my son. He told me earlier that he went to you. I’m wondering that is he still with you?”
Xue Tao’s father requested Shao Tianze politely.
However, Shao Tianze frowned and asked back with confusion, “Your son has already gone. He hasn’t left?”
He had just said that.
Next second, an a.s.sistant came in.
The a.s.sistant whispered something in Shao Tianze’s ear.
Shao Tianze’s face changed, and he motioned the a.s.sistant out.
Xue Tao’s father continued, “Perhaps he hasn’t left. Could you please help me to check if he is still at Shao’s?”
Shao Tianze replied directly, “My a.s.sistant just came over to tell me that Mr. Xue had already left Shao’s. The Song Family’s car picked him up.”
It wasn’t true that the Song Family’s car picked him up. When Xue Tao was out of the gate, he was knocked out by Song Yunxuan’s a.s.sistant. Then he was stuffed into the car like a dog.
Shao Tianze was uncomfortable with that.
After all, the way Song Yunxuan conducted kidnapping was blatant. The limousine was her ride, and the one who attacked Xue Tao was her a.s.sistant Mei Qi, which was known to all the people in Yuncheng.
Song Yunxuan showed no intention to do it secretly in his territory. She didn’t take him seriously.
Now that Xue Family called, Shao Tianze temporarily suppressed his dissatisfaction with Song Yunxuan. He saw himself as an outsider and did not want to interfere with it at all.
Xue Tao’s father also knew that Shao Tianze had nothing to do with it.
However, the thought that Song Yunxuan would not spare Xue Tao scared him.
He could not help seeking help from Shao Tianze, “Chairman Shao, could you please help me look for him?”
Shao Tianze laughed, “Chairman Xue, what are you talking about? You and Song Yunxuan are a family. She is your son’s sister-in-law. She must have invited him to have some tea. How can I help you?”
Shao Tianze refused his request.
Xue Jianxiong understood. He replied moodily, “Well, thank you for letting me know that.”
As soon as Xue Jianxiong finished saying, Shao Tianze hung up the phone directly.
After the call, Shao Tianze’s face became unusually gloomy.
A name was squeezed out of his teeth, “Song Yunxuan!”
Song Yunxuan did not take him seriously, and he would let her pay for it sooner or later.
However, he did not want to intervene in the fight between the Xue Family and her.
But what he felt like to do was to stir up troubles between them. It was best for them to hurt each other.
At that time, he could swallow either one of them.
He won either way.
Now, he planned to stand by idly, watching them fight.
He wanted to see how Song Yunxuan was going to do with Xue Tao. Anyway, Xue Tao had always seemed defiant.
When it was time, perhaps Xue Tao would bite her back like a wild dog.
By then, he would like to see how she was going to do.
…
Xue Tao was never tame.
He took a good poke at Song Yunxuan since that he was knocked out by Mei Qi.
Song Yunxuan hated any form of betrayal. Her brother-in-law should have been on her side, but he tipped Shao Tianze off as his spy.
If he had tipped somebody else off, she would have turned a blind eye on it.
However, he chose to be loyal to Shao Tianze.
This was intolerable.
It was not long before Xue Tao woke up after Song Yunxuan took him back.
Finding himself tied up in the Song Family’s living room, he instantly turned furious. He shouted, “Song Yunxuan, show yourself!”
Song Yunxuan left him in the living room and went to the study to take care of business that had been over-logged during her stay in Thailend for the last few days.
Mei Qi was accompanied by her side.
When a maid came to the door of the study, he a.s.sumed that Xue Tao had woken up. He turned to Song Yunxuan, “Xue Tao should be woken up.”
Song Yunxuan was signing in neat script with a pen. Then she put down the pen and complained to Mei Qi, “You should have knocked him even harder.”
Mei Qi replied, “He woke up earlier, so we can question him earlier.”
Song Yunxuan folded the doc.u.ment and said coldly, “Not necessary. He ran to Shao Tianze like a dog because he wanted to make use of Shao Tianze’s power to deal with me. That’s it.”
“Manager Song, perhaps he has a long-term plan.”
Song Yunxuan did not consider its possibility at all, “That moron. What long-term plan can he come up with?”
She had a smile, but this smile was full of mock.
Song Yunxuan didn’t stand up until she finished her work. She said to Mei Qi, “Let’s go downstairs and see what my brother-in-law wants to say.”
Mei Qi shook his head. Only by looking at Song Yunxuan’s smile, he knew that Xue Tao would be d.a.m.ned this time.
Song Yunxuan went out of the study, Mei Qi following her behind. They heard Xue Tao shouting before entering the living room, “Song Yunxuan, you b.i.t.c.h! Are you out of mind?! I am your brother-in-law! Hurry up and let me go!”
Hearing that his cursing went almost hoa.r.s.ely, Song Yunxuan did not go downstairs but looked at him from the railing on the second floor.
Xue Tao was cursing while rolling his eyes to see if anyone could set him free in the Song Family.
He cursed at Song Yunxuan, but he also knew that if she really had showed herself and heard everything, it would have been terrible.
If someone had been willing to set him free, he would have been happy to pay him five million.
Song Yunxuan noticed Xue Tao looking around. She joked with a smile, “If you set him free now, I bet he will give you a lot of money.”
“Then you will turn on me?” Mei Qi also replied with a smile. “He can’t buy me with money. I’ll serve you forever.”
Song Yunxuan knew that Mei Qi’s remarks were only half-joking.
The amulet she wore on her neck was the proof of his loyalty.
Few people were willing to remove the other’s pain in the debt of their lives.
However, Mei Qi was.
How could he hurt her feelings since he could sacrifice his life for her?
“Seriously, it is a great opportunity to bail him out.”
“Well, if you insist.”
After Mei Qi finished speaking, Song Yunxuan saw him walking downstairs.
Song Yunxuan was fond of rubbernecking.
However, she didn’t enjoy it at the very beginning. She developed this hobby after becoming Song Yunxuan and suddenly became interested in it.
If she had taken a closer look, there would have been a lot of fun in Yuncheng.
There were Song Family, the Xue Family, the Shao Family, and even the Du Family.
There were so many commercial families around. Within any of them, the fun was eye-catching.
She watched Mei Qi walked over to Xue Tao with great interest on the second floor.
She was wondering whether Xue Tao could see through the trap, although it was obvious.
Hearing the footsteps approaching, Xue Tao immediately turned his eyes to check who was coming.
It was Mei Qi. Xue Tao frowned and hesitated.
However, the hesitation lasted for only a second.
“Mei Qi, set me free. I’ll give you money!”
Xue Tao was anxious.
Hearing Xue Tao, Mei Qi could not help but praise Song Yunxuan’s ability to read people’s minds.
Xue Tao did exactly the same as Song Yunxuan told him.
As soon as he came over, Xue Tao desperately requested him to set him free.
Mei Qi looked at him with difficulty, “Mr. Xue, I want to help you. I really do, but I dare not.”
Xue Tao stared at him, “You’re afraid that Song Yunxuan will fire you! This is kidnapping. She has been against the law. Let me go, and you’ll have the money you want.”
“You know she’s my boss. If I let you go, I’ll be jobless.”
Xue Tao did not want to waste time with him. He began to talk about the price, “I’ll give you five million. It’s your ten-year salary. Set me free now.”
“Mr. Xue, though five million sounds like a lot, I got used to being careless with money for years. Money comes, money goes. It’s not worth taking the risk of losing my job.”
Xue Tao bit his teeth and raised the price initiatively, “Ten million. As long as you set me free, I’ll pay you ten million.”
He supposed that Mei Qi would ask for more.
Surprisingly, Mei Qi nodded, “Since you are so generous, I’ll take the risk. I hope you can keep your word and write a cheque as soon as possible.”
“The cheque book is on me. Hurry up, set me free. I’ll write it to you.”
