"Captain Qi, let me be clear, I have never doubted the capabilities of your police force, but... I am more concerned about Youyou's safety than your police are. Since I dared to act on my own, I definitely had absolute confidence! Moreover, if this matter had been left to your police to handle, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to bring Youyou back so quickly!" Zhang Jingshan said with a smile.

Qiqian was momentarily stunned by these words.

Zhang Jingshan shook his head and continued, "Captain Qi, your police actions are always bound by various rules and regulations. Facing you, those criminals wouldn't easily give in. Although your police would eventually be able to rescue the person, you can't deny that it wouldn't be as fast as if I had taken action, right? Every minute the child is in their hands means one more minute of suffering and torment, and it's even possible that those detestable criminals would become desperate under your police's pressure, and the result might be even worse, right?"

Faced with Zhang Jingshan's line of reasoning, Qiqian was left speechless.

In a daze, he had to admit that what Zhang Jingshan said were indeed undeniable concerns.

Seeing Qiqian at a loss for words, Ye Chen's voice sounded at the right time.

"Alright, Captain Qi, now that Youyou is back, let's leave it at that! Those kidnappers are now under the control of Jingshan's people. They are on the west side of the road from Tianyuan Road to the Airport Express, where there's that undeveloped wasteland!"

"Okay, I'll send people over immediately!"

Ye Chen's words resolved Qiqian's awkward silence.

He then asked Zhang Jingshan for a more precise location and quickly notified his subordinates to apprehend the criminals.

After putting down his phone, he looked at Zhang Jingshan again. "Mr. Zhang, can you tell me how you got them to submit?"

Before Zhang Jingshan could answer, he added, "Don't worry, I'm asking you as a friend, I won't hold it against you."

"It was nothing more than bluffing and scaring them, threatening them with their families, claiming that if anything happened to Youyou, their entire families would pay with their lives!"

Zhang Jingshan chuckled dismissively. "Captain Qi, you can't charge me with intimidation, right? Those kinds of scoundrels only respond to that kind of treatment. If you were to negotiate with them, I'm afraid we'd be negotiating for who knows how long! So, you have to scare them like that, and it's twice the result with half the effort!"

Qiqian's face twitched violently.

Damn it...

This method was indeed effective, but it was a method that the police could not and dared not use, and even if they used it, the criminals wouldn't be afraid.

"I underestimated Mr. Zhang. If the Old Secretary knew Mr. Zhang was doing this, I'm afraid Mr. Zhang wouldn't have a good time!" Qiqian said.

"That's not necessarily true! The Old Master also gave me a death order, telling me to do everything I could to help Brother Ye find Youyou! So, he definitely won't blame me. Besides, it's not like it's the first day he's known I'm a bit of a rogue!" Zhang Jingshan grinned.

But the signal he conveyed caused a great shock in Qiqian's heart.

The Old Secretary, Zhang Weimin, actually told Zhang Jingshan to do everything he could to help Ye Chen find his child?

This...

Did this mean that Ye Chen's importance in the Old Secretary's eyes was beyond words?

How did this guy manage to win over the Old Secretary?

For a moment, Qiqian's gaze towards Ye Chen inadvertently changed.

"Captain Qi, I wonder if I could ask you for a favor!"

Meeting Qiqian's gaze, Ye Chen suddenly spoke.

"Huh? Mr. Ye, please tell me!" Qiqian blurted out.

"I want to find some bodyguards, preferably those with police or military backgrounds! It's said that the military and police are one family. Do you have any connections you can recommend? People recommended by you, Captain Qi, would save me the trouble of investigating their background. They would definitely be trustworthy!" Ye Chen said.

Qiqian was momentarily stunned.

He couldn't help but ask, "Are you serious?"

"Otherwise?" Ye Chen said, "I'm still shaken up, I can't calm down!"

After staring into Ye Chen's eyes for a few seconds, Qiqian nodded solemnly. "I have a childhood friend. When I took the police academy entrance exam, he enlisted in the army and later joined the special forces. During his special forces career, due to a special accidental situation, he mistakenly killed a hostage. Due to the special circumstances at the time, although he didn't have to face a military court, he was still discharged from the military and left the army. I can contact him for you, but I can't guarantee whether he's willing or not!"

If it had been someone else, Qiqian definitely wouldn't have taken on this task.

But because Ye Chen had once saved him, he still mentioned his childhood friend.

"Good, that's fine, but it has to be fast!" Ye Chen said seriously.

"Okay, I'll contact him later. If he's interested, I'll arrange for you to meet tomorrow!" Qiqian nodded.

"Thanks!" Ye Chen lightly bumped his fist against Qiqian's chest.

"Okay, then that's settled. I'll go back and follow up on those criminals first!"

With Ye Chen's nod, Qiqian stepped out.

But after taking only two steps, he suddenly stopped.

Turning back, he said, "Mr. Ye, speaking of which, rich people like you are often the favorite targets of criminals, so even if my childhood friend doesn't want to be your bodyguard, you still need to arrange bodyguards as soon as possible!"

"Why doesn't Captain Qi come to my side? An annual salary of ten million, how about it?" Ye Chen rarely made a joke.

Unexpectedly, Qiqian's mouth twitched violently at these words.

"Go tell our city bureau's director. If he agrees to let me go, I'll work for you immediately!"

Leaving these words behind, Qiqian shook his head and smiled as he quickly walked out of the two-million-dollar mansion.

"Brother Ye, do you want me to help you find some bodyguards too?"

After Qiqian left, Zhang Jingshan hesitated for a moment and proactively asked.

"You also have connections for that?" Ye Chen said in surprise.

"I thought you had already taken sufficient security precautions for your wife and Youyou, so I didn't mention bodyguards before! I do have some connections regarding bodyguards. If you need it, I'll contact some people for you when I get back and try to have them come over tomorrow. If you think they're suitable and want to use them, then we can discuss it in detail. If you think they're not suitable, then we'll just forget about it! Moreover, I think it would be more appropriate to arrange some female bodyguards for your wife!" Zhang Jingshan said.

Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded in agreement without hesitation.

At the same time, an idea suddenly popped into his head.

"Good, then you bring everyone you can find tomorrow. The more the better!" Ye Chen said.

"Alright, well, it's getting late. I'll go back first. We'll contact each other tomorrow when it's done!" Zhang Jingshan said.

Meeting Ye Chen's nodding smile, he quickly left without lingering.
