Ideas need to be thought out. And often at this ti, Xiaofan becos more acutely aware of his own smallness.
Dealing with a few thugs is sothing Xiaofan can barely handle, but solving the problems of Liu Siyan's father's company can't be done with brute force alone.
Xiaofan brainstord all day and ca up with countless solutions, but ultimately vetoed them all himself.
One of the best ideas was to kidnap Zhang Qiang to coerce his grandpa into submission.
That's illegal. Even if the current problem is successfully solved, Zhang Qiang can't be kidnapped forever, right? Eventually, he has to be released. By then, Zhang Qiang would call the police, and Xiaofan would certainly be taken away by them, possibly implicating Liu Zhenghua's company as well.
If that doesn't work, then what about killing him? Not to ntion whether Xiaofan has the guts to kill after kidnapping him; even if he did, Zhang Qiang's grandpa, Zhang Yongchang, would not rest quietly. Given the clear purpose of the kidnapping, the police could follow clues to Liu Zhenghua; no matter how well Xiaofan hides, the trail would lead back to him.
What to do...
After school, Xiaofan rushed ho without stopping; perhaps the person at ho could help him co up with a good idea.
"Shen Zuimo, I have a question I'd like to ask you." As soon as he got ho, Xiaofan imdiately started asking Shen Zuimo.
Consulting Shen Zuimo was the only option left.
"Tell ."
Tonight, Shen Zuimo dressed especially lightly, but Xiaofan wasn't in the mood to appreciate it.
"If a friend of yours who does business is deliberately frad and has all their liquidity frozen, what should they do?" Xiaofan said flatly.
"That depends on the purpose. If it's no big deal, just satisfy their demands." Shen Zuimo's thinking was very clear, as this is indeed the fastest way to reject a problem.
"It's a big problem, can't compromise on their demands." If it were that easy to solve, he wouldn't have run ho to ask right after school.
"Well, then just kill the person threatening your friend." Shen Zuimo said naturally.
"No, it's not sothing that can be solved by killing the person anymore." Xiaofan shook his head.
Xiaofan had gradually beco accustod to Shen Zuimo's imdiate inclination to suggest killing, so he wasn't surprised by this answer.
"Then what's the best solution you can think of?" Shen Zuimo suddenly asked.
It seed Shen Zuimo was very interested in this matter, though not because of the matter itself, but rather because it was the first ti he'd seen the boy in front of him being so troubled by sothing.
"Kidnap the opponent's grandson to force them to compromise. Although kidnapping his grandson isn't difficult, and getting the opponent to compromise is easy enough, there are too many complicated issues, and even if successful, the chances of escaping unhard are less than twenty percent." Xiaofan had already thought through the scenario; if it weren't a last resort, he would never do such a thing.
"Then tell the gist of it. If I'm not mistaken, the protagonist in this matter is Liu Siyan again, right?" Each ti he ntioned this na, Shen Zuimo felt a bitter pang in his heart, quite uncomfortable.
"Yes. It's like this..."
After spending a considerable amount of ti, Xiaofan explained the situation to Shen Zuimo. Having soone he trusted to discuss it with, Xiaofan felt much calr inside.
"From what you said, kidnapping that director's grandson seems the best approach; since he's so fond of his grandson, he'd definitely be afraid of any harm coming to him." Shen Zuimo also seed to agree with this thod.
"The kidnapping purpose is too clear." Xiaofan shook his head.
"Everything has to be about evidence. So what if the purpose is clear? I wouldn't leave a trace if I killed soone. I can help you deal with this matter." Shen Zuimo said confidently.
Hearing this, Xiaofan was stunned. With Shen Zuimo helping, it would undoubtedly be a fantastic choice. However, Zhang Qiang, albeit extrely vile, did not deserve to die. Also, he was only eighteen years old...
"How about just kidnapping him, blindfolding him so he wouldn't see who it was?" This seed more acceptable.
"With such a soft heart, it's hard to achieve great things." Shen Zuimo shot him a glance and continued, "Do what you want then, don't kill him."
"Hey, don't make such a quick decision; there's still a week left. We should think it over, maybe find a better solution."
Xiaofan has always been the type to abide by rules, and while he saved Shen Zuimo knowing she was dangerous, it was purely subconscious. But demanding a lawful solution from her today was sothing he couldn't accept.
"There is another way..."
"Hmm? What's the other way?" Xiaofan's eyes lit up.
"Like I said, everything needs evidence; you ntioned Liu Siyan's father's company was frad. If we can find evidence proving it, we can unravel everything."
Upon hearing this, Xiaofan perked up; why hadn't he thought of this?
No, it wasn't that Xiaofan hadn't thought of it—his subconscious blocked it out, because he couldn't possibly find the evidence he needed from soone of such stature. Liu Zhenghua couldn't even do it, which led him to discard the idea initially; finding evidence from Zhang Yongchang seed even harder than kidnapping Zhang Qiang.
"Don't know where to start." After a mont of silence, Xiaofan said helplessly.
"What do you an, don't know where to start? First, you need to identify the key issues; investigate whether Liu Zhenghua's company was truly frad, where the injustice lies, and then follow that lead."
"But can I do this?" Xiaofan acknowledged his own limitations well, and despite impulsively promising Liu Siyan he would handle it, he still knew he had taken on the responsibility.
"Did I say you were alone? I'll help you."
"You'll help ?" Xiaofan was incredulous again.
"Given your ability, finding evidence within a week is almost impossible. I'm also helping myself; if you're caught kidnapping, my whereabouts might be exposed to the police." Shen Zuimo continued.
"Thank you."
Actually, Xiaofan knew that Shen Zuimo didn't need to worry about her whereabouts being exposed. Her mobility had fully recovered, and the injured shoulder had healed quickly; she could leave anyti.
"I thought we were past saying 'thank you' to each other."
"Hmm?" Xiaofan stared at Shen Zuimo, as beautiful won were always pleasing to look at, but this ti Xiaofan seed to notice sothing more about Shen Zuimo.
"Get an early night's sleep; tomorrow visit Liu Siyan's ho to figure out exactly where the issue lies."
"Hmm."
