Reborn As Super Heiress

As they listened to the recordings one by one, Gu Xu’s face had already darkened, and Huo Sining’s expression wasn’t any better.

Clearly, these kidnappers were instigated by someone, but who exactly was this Jiang person, to find such a group of outlaws to kidnap the little chubby girl?

”I haven’t offended anyone in Fucheng, except for Jiang Weide. Because of Zhang Chao’s family affair, I investigated him and even had the little chubby girl steal electricity from his house. His father-in-law was detained for a double investigation, which is somewhat related to me. But all these things were done very discreetly; it should be impossible for Jiang Weide to find out!”

Huo Sining looked suspicious and confused.

Gu Xu frowned and looked at his wife: ”How did you guys go when you were stealing electricity?”

Huo Sining blushed, a bit embarrassed: ”At night, we took the car, but we reached the cold storage area around midnight, and both of us used Invisibility, so the surveillance cameras definitely didn’t catch us. Niuniu took about four hours to eat until full. Later, I noticed it was almost five in the morning, and there were no cars on the road, so I carried Niuniu and walked back. We walked until almost six o’clock, and when the buses started running, I canceled the Invisibility Technique and then took the bus back.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Xu pondered for a moment and furrowed his brows tightly:

”Are you sure this person named Jiang is indeed Jiang Weide? But from your activities in Fucheng during this period, it’s unreasonable for him to target you. You don’t have any suspicious points deserving his doubt, so why would he aim at you?”

Huo Sining shook her head, but as she recalled the text message on her phone, her mood instantly soured:

”I originally just wanted to teach this person a lesson, to make him cough up the money he took from others. But now, he has the audacity to meddle with me, even wanting to extort me, so he shouldn’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Gu Xu was also feeling down, but he was much more cautious than Huo Sining. Seeing that Huo Sining was already furious, he hurriedly said: ”We can’t be certain it’s him yet. Don’t rush; let’s check if it’s this person first.”

”How should we check?”

Huo Sining raised an eyebrow and asked.

Gu Xu thought for a while and said: ”Let Yu Fei investigate...”

Huo Sining waved her hand and interrupted Gu Xu: ”Too slow. Yu Fei can help hack into the Dongyang National Museum; that’s his specialty. But for this kind of investigation, he’s not as skilled. He can only proceed step by step, following clues, and that’s too slow.”

After thinking for a moment, Gu Xu also felt that Huo Sining had a point. Like this time, although Yu Fei had been helping, the speed was indeed slow: ”Then how do you want to check?”

Huo Sining remained silent for a few seconds, then suddenly looked up and said: ”Find out where Jiang Weide lives, and I’ll go myself.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Xu became anxious and wanted to stop her, but in the next second, he swallowed his words back.

He had to admit that only his wife had the ability to handle this matter.

However, even though his wife had the Invisibility Technique, Gu Xu felt unsure about Jiang Weide’s background and was not entirely certain there would be no danger involved.

Perhaps Jiang Weide had discovered something else, and kidnapping Niuniu was just the first step. His ultimate goal might be to deal with Huo Sining. He might have deliberately exposed a flaw in the recording to lure his wife into the trap.

This couldn’t be helped; Gu Xu really tended to overthink. He was used to being cautious in his daily missions, so encountering a kidnapping case like this, he couldn’t help but complicate the conspiracy behind it, constantly feeling that Jiang Weide had some other trick up his sleeve.

In fact, Jiang Weide just wanted to teach Huo Sining a lesson. His father-in-law had recently been detained for a double investigation, causing all his original connections to disappear. The people who once treated him with utmost respect and flattery had all turned 180 degrees in attitude. Even his former business partners were avoiding him like the plague.

This made Jiang Weide feel both angry and powerless; he never thought his father-in-law’s single double investigation would have such a huge impact on him. This made him realize for the first time that his once-proud business empire was entirely propped up by his father-in-law’s support.

Now that his father-in-law was gone, those collaborators naturally wouldn’t dare to have any entanglement with him, fearing that one misstep might drag them into it as well.

Jiang Weide was especially furious about his career falling apart in just a fortnight.

He believed someone was targeting him, and Huo Sining had coincidentally arrived in Fucheng during this time and had interactions with Zhang Chao. Moreover, the Anmin Lane Han Tomb was discovered by this woman.

Jiang Weide couldn’t be sure if the land and properties he bought in Anmin Lane were discovered by the woman named Huo. He also couldn’t confirm if his father-in-law’s detention for a double investigation was influenced by this woman, but everything was too coincidental.

He highly suspected this woman was deliberately targeting him.

This woman was so wealthy, yet she was blocking his financial path. How could Jiang Weide not be furious? Hence, he was determined to teach that woman a lesson and make her compensate for his losses.

Jiang Weide’s original intention was to find those thugs to kidnap Huo Sining and then blackmail her family for ransom.

But unexpectedly, those thugs were more adept at failing than succeeding. They went to the hotel but didn’t capture the woman named Huo; instead, they got hold of a one-year-old child.

Jiang Weide was furious because, from his online investigation, he knew that the woman named Huo had just gotten married and hadn’t had a child yet, and the kid those thugs captured was also unidentified.

However, the plot took an unexpected turn. Not long after kidnapping the child, the thugs reported back to him, and only then did Jiang Weide learn that the child was indeed from the woman named Huo.

That child was born to Huo Sining and her husband!

Upon receiving this news, Jiang Weide was equally surprised.

But soon, he realized this was big news.

In recent times, both Huo Sining and her husband were well-known across the country, especially Huo Sining, who gained fame for her recent earthquake donations and the Philadelphia Beast Head incident. Her reputation was nationwide, her influence even greater than top celebrities in the entertainment industry.

But she married her husband less than six months ago, and now, at this juncture, he discovered she had a one-year-old child. What this implied was self-evident.
