The news of Han Wanling's detention had spread throughout Jingdu. This news was a severe slap in the face for Han Hongbin who had just spent much effort to free himself and salvage whatever reputation the Han family had.
The burden of damage control was now placed on Han Hongbin, and he had to find a way to free Han Wanling from jail.
The Qiao family did not back down either. They weaponized the kidnapping that the Han family had carried out by proposing lawsuits and sanctions against their corporation. The noise that the Qiao family was making was quickly picked up on by everyone in Jingdu.
