Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 244: Chapter 244: The Kidnapping That Happened to Me Fifteen Years Ago

“Speak,” Qiao Yun sipped some water.

Pei Ya didn’t beat around the bush, telling her, “The people who kidnapped you are pretty tight-lipped and wouldn’t reveal anything. Of course, a petty matter like that wouldn’t stump me. I had the institute look into it, and it turns out these people all have families. No need for interrogation; they spilled all they knew.”

“Children are innocent,” Qiao Yun somewhat disagreed with this method.

“It’s just to scare them; how could we actually harm the children,” Pei Ya protested innocently.

“Fine, keep going.”

“According to the kidnappers, they belong to a trading website where people with similar interests share information about their prey. Whoever takes a fancy to someone goes and snatches their target.”

At this point, Pei Ya said with a wry smile, “Boss, you’re quite popular. Many hunters have their eyes on you; it’s just that they made their move too forcefully.”

Qiao Yun frowned in disgust. What did these people think of human beings?

“Now with the institute’s backing us, we’ve dug up quite a lot on these people. It’s over to the police to arrest them.”

As a result, Shengqiao Group even received commendation, but Li Hanzhou also contributed a lot, something Pei Ya did not hide.

“Li Hanzhou was also a big help. Following the account that posted your information, we traced back to the poster. It was Li Hanzhou’s side that caught the person.”

“Except that person claims he was just paid to do the job and doesn’t know who the client was.”

Following the trail had only led them this far before the clues ran dry.

“Boss, do you have any enemies? Such obvious malice; whoever it is must harbor a great grudge against you,” Pei Ya expressed his restless mood. He wouldn’t be at ease until they caught the person attempting to harm Qiao Yun.

Qiao Yun thought carefully before instructing, “Look into the kidnapping from fifteen years ago.”

“Why dredge that up now, weren’t the kidnappers executed already?” Pei Ya suddenly gave a start, “You suspect it’s the same person?”

“Not necessarily the same person,” Qiao Yun simply stated.

But because of this incident, she always felt there were hidden secrets surrounding her kidnapping years ago.

Qiao Yun was three years old when she crossed over, and by that time, the real Qiao Yun had already died en route during the kidnapping.

She was sick and locked in a warehouse with no medicine or anything, and ultimately did not survive.

Upon taking over the body, Qiao Yun’s memories were somewhat chaotic; some things she remembered clearly, others were blurry.

Now that Qiao Yun harbored doubts, she felt obligated to thoroughly investigate the incident from fifteen years ago.

She owed the original Qiao Yun the truth.

“Leave it to me, but it’s been a long time, so it might take a while.”

Networks weren’t as developed fifteen years ago, and not everywhere had surveillance; it was still going to be challenging.

“There’s one more thing…”

Pei Ya said worriedly, “You should just come back. I always worry that something else might happen to you.”

Qiao Yun paused, seemingly caught up in thought, but then declined, “Don’t worry, I have bodyguards.”

“Then I will assign more bodyguards to you,” knowing he couldn’t dissuade her, Pei Ya did not press on.

In his mind, he pondered how many bodyguards would be sufficient. Would a hundred be enough?

Qiao Yun’s lips pursed.

For a brief moment, she considered that if she left, it would be difficult to see Li Hanzhou and Li Miao again.

And her kind second brother.

Because of this realization, she decided to stay.@@novelbin@@

Qiao Yun thought, it seemed she had started to have the attachments that humans should have.
