Chapter 443: Two People Who Look Exactly Alike

Although Shi Youxuan is the nominal Chairman of Tianma.

She never manages company affairs, so as Jian Yining's Secretary, this is also the first time meeting.

Although everyone is seeing Shi Youxuan for the first time, expressions of surprise appear on several people's faces.

It is just that the old lady's expression is more obvious.

"Chairman Shi, your name is Shi Youxuan?" The old lady still grips Shi Youxuan's hand, refusing to let go.

Although she is certain she has recognized the wrong person, the Jin Laofuren seems even more agitated!

From the moment she saw Shi Youxuan, her gaze has not moved from her face; she examines her carefully, becoming more agitated the more she looks.

"Alike, truly too alike, it is simply exactly the same!"

"Granddaughter, my granddaughter, Grandma has finally seen you in her lifetime, boo-hoo..." The old lady suddenly hugs Shi Youxuan, tears streaming down her face.

Beside them, Jin Laoyezi is also teary-eyed.

What on earth is going on?

Several people do not know what has happened, and neither does Shi Youxuan, but being suddenly hugged by a strange old lady she has never met before, she finds that she does not feel repulsed at all.

Not only is she not repulsed, she even feels very close to her, though she does not know why.

"Old lady, Miss Shi just got off the plane and doesn't know anything yet, we must hurry."

"Okay, okay."

Only then does the old lady let go and apologize: "I'm sorry, I didn't control my emotions just now, I was impolite."

A car has long been waiting outside the airport, driving all the way to where they are staying.

It is not a hotel, but the Jin Family home.

The Jin Family lives in a two-story Villa in the suburbs, furnished not very luxuriously but quite elegantly.

The surroundings of the Villa are loose on the outside but tight on the inside.

It looks like an ordinary house from the outside, but more than a dozen police officers live inside to ensure their safety.

The place was not very big to begin with, and this makes it seem even more crowded.

The rooms were reserved for them in advance, and the room arranged for Shi Youxuan and Sheng Hanyu is Jin Wan'er's boudoir.

The walls of the room are covered with photos of Jin Wan'er; when Shi Youxuan sees the photos, her eyes are so surprised they are about to pop out!

The Jin Wan'er in the photos actually looks exactly like her.

No wonder Jian Yining never let them see the photos, only saying he would bring people to see them in person when the time was right; it turns out she looks just like her.

After a brief rest, everyone gathers in the living room.

The police explain the sequence of events one more time.

Jin Wan'er and Jian Yining were kidnapped together; at the time, the two were eating in a restaurant when several people suddenly broke into the restaurant and took them away.

It was exactly lunchtime, and the restaurant was full of people.

According to eyewitnesses, the target of those people at first seemed to be only the woman; it was the man who was kidnapped along with her to protect his girlfriend.

Additionally, there is a video the kidnappers sent to the Jian Family.

In the video, there is only Jian Yining and no Jin Wan'er; the kidnappers identified themselves as Feiying and explicitly demanded that Shi Youxuan personally bring the money to retrieve the person; this is the entire process.

The information the police have is actually no more than what they have.

But everyone analyzes that perhaps Feiying's target from the beginning was not Jin Wan'er, but Shi Youxuan!

Kidnapping Jin Wan'er was only because she looks exactly like Shi Youxuan.

Sheng Hanyu says in a muffled voice: "If that is the case, Xuanxuan cannot go to pick up the person."

Shi Youxuan:...

She knew this man was just here to hold her back.

"I have to go; this matter was already decided back in Jiangzhou, you cannot go back on your word."

Sheng Hanyu: "When was it decided? I don't acknowledge it."

Sheng Zerong, Jian Yixin:...

The three are childhood friends, having grown up together.

It is the first time the two have heard Sheng Hanyu speak like this; he is actually acting shamelessly, a rare sight in a lifetime.

There are four hours left of the contact time given by Feiying.

One billion US dollars have already been prepared.

He does not want a transfer, he wants all cash; this is a good thing.

Because one billion is simply too much; this money fills an entire warehouse, and it is impossible for Shi Youxuan to take it away by herself.

Therefore, Feiying can only send people to collect it.

The negotiation expert among the police is pondering how to use the opportunity of them collecting the money to wipe them out in one fell swoop!

These people are not only ruthless but also particularly cunning.

They have dealt with the police for a long time and have strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities; one slight carelessness could lead to a total loss.

No one dares to underestimate the enemy.

Countless plans have been made, but they are still being constantly overturned and rebuilt; if anything is slightly wrong, it is immediately scrapped and started over.

At this time, there is nothing for Shi Youxuan to do; she and Sheng Hanyu sit huddled together.

Sheng Hanyu asks again: "Will you not reconsider?"

Shi Youxuan: "Do you think Feiying will give me a chance to reconsider?"

Sheng Hanyu: "No."

Shi Youxuan: "Knowing it won't happen, why are you still wasting your breath?"

This question had been discussed countless times within a mere twenty-four hours.

Actually, it didn't count as a discussion; it was just Sheng Hanyu insisting on his opposition, and Shi Youxuan being determined to go pick the person up!

These two statements had different versions in the Jin Family and the Jian Family; it was only a difference of one character, but the meanings were vastly different.

Feiying had also sent a short video to Jin Laoyezi, with content roughly the same as the one sent to the Jian Family, only the last sentence was changed.

To the Jian Family, he said to let Shi Youxuan go exchange for the person, one for two.

To the Jin Family, he said to let Shi Youxuan bring money to pick the person up!

There were three hours left until Feiying contacted them again.

Jin Laofuren brought over a bowl of chicken noodle soup and handed it to Shi Youxuan: "Good child, eat a bowl of noodles. I made it; try it and see if it suits your taste?"

Everyone else ate the mass-produced food from the big pot, but Shi Youxuan received special treatment.

But she had no appetite.

"Thank you, Laofuren, I'm not hungry." She shook her head.

"Try it, just one bite is fine." The hopeful look on the old lady's aged face made Shi Youxuan unable to bear refusing, so she picked up the bowl and took a bite.

It tasted very good.

So she ate the whole bowl of chicken noodle soup.

For the first time, Jin Laofuren showed a smile, happily grabbing her hand: "Miss Shi, may I call you Xuanxuan?"

"Of course, you may call me Xuanxuan."

Shi Youxuan felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to the old lady, and to Jin Laoyezi as well.

The old couple were from A Country; Jin Laoyezi was a famous scholar in A Country, highly respected and prestigious.

Before retiring, the old lady was a university professor; although they were not extremely wealthy, their social status was very high.

The old couple had only one son, but in his early years, he had a disagreement with his parents over marriage issues and left the country in a fit of pique.

Back then, the old couple were proud and arrogant, and with the haughty airs of intellectuals, they couldn't bring themselves to lower their pride, so they waited for their son to take the initiative to return and apologize to them!

As it turned out, this wait lasted a lifetime.

Their son and daughter-in-law both died in a car accident abroad.

Fortunately, the son left behind a bloodline—Jin Wan'er.

The old couple raised their granddaughter with great care; Jin Wan'er had been smart and eager to learn since she was young.

Every subject she studied was excellent, and she later became an outstanding Lüshi!

To develop her career, Jin Wan'er went from A Country to the United States; the old couple viewed their granddaughter as their life, and with their granddaughter in the United States, they couldn't settle down in A Country, so they followed her there.

They just hadn't expected that such a thing would happen before they had even spent a few days living a quiet life.

"Xuanxuan, what do your parents do?" Jin Laofuren held Shi Youxuan's hand and started making small talk.
