Mu Chen took a deep breath before he asked, “What do you want?”
Mu Chen understood the situation he was in better than anyone else. Now that his beloved son was in the other party’s hands and the circ.u.mstances were unclear, he could not act rashly. He gestured to Cheng Che.
Cheng Che recovered from his earlier panic. He used his computer to turn on the surveillance cameras at home while he called Uncle Jiang, the butler.
When Uncle Jiang answered the phone, his voice was slightly excited as he asked, “Cheng Che? Are all of you coming home soon?”
Cheng Che tried his best to calm down as he asked, “Uncle Jiang, where are Grandma and the baby?”
!!
“Oh, the old madam woke up early and said she felt uneasy. I don’t know if something has been bothering her. It just so happened that the little master hasn’t been sleeping well over the past few days. As such, the old madam decided to visit the monk at Puji Temple to get a talisman. She went to the temple with the little master and A Yu. She should be back soon,” Uncle Jiang replied.
“No one else went with her?” Cheng Che asked with a hint of complaint.
“The old madam doesn’t like a huge entourage following her around. She only brought four men with her. They went in two cars. It’s only an hour’s drive back and forth so it should be quite safe,” Uncle Jiang replied.
“Alright, Uncle Jiang. We’ll be coming home tonight,” Cheng Che said. He did not tell Uncle Jiang about the matter and ended the call.
Meanwhile, the psychological battle between Mu Chen and the kidnapper had already begun.
“Mr. Mu, we’re professionals. We’ve been hired so we have to be loyal to our employer. We take money from others to solve their problems. Someone gave us money and asked us to kidnap your family. As for the conditions…”
The kidnapper trailed off, keeping Mu Chen in suspense.
“Tell me about it,” Mu Chen said coldly. At the same time, he looked at Cheng Che meaningfully.
Cheng Che was already on the phone with the police. He was already seeking help.
“Mr. Mu, are you up to something? I advise you to be more obedient. I’ll send you a few photos now.”
As soon as the kidnapper’s voice fell, a series of notifications rang from Mu Chen’s phone.
The photos were sent from Mu Lang’s phone. Mu Lang looked fl.u.s.tered, Jiang Jin looked exhausted, and Sister Yu’s face was stained with tears.
Everyone’s hearts tightened immediately.
“Alright, you can state your conditions. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything. Cheng Che, don’t involve the police,” Mu Chen said. Under such circ.u.mstances, he had no choice but to compromise.
“Very well. Let’s discuss the conditions. First, we want 200 million in cash. The money can’t be marked; we have to avoid being traced after all. It must be delivered to the designated location by 3 pm tomorrow,” the kidnapper said directly.
“200 million in cash? How can we get it before 3 pm tomorrow? Your demand is too unreasonable. Even if I agree, the bank won’t be able to process it so quickly,” Mu Chen said.
“Mr. Mu, that’s your business. It has nothing to do with me. 200 million in cash by 3 pm tomorrow. As for how you do it or if you can do it, that’s your problem. Don’t try to negotiate with me,” the kidnapper said impatiently and fiercely.
“Okay, okay, we’ll think of a way, we’ll think of a way!” Song Ning said hastily, trembling with fear.
This made the kidnapper very satisfied. He praised mockingly, “Mrs. Mu is really sensible.”
Song Ning begged, “Please don’t hurt my son and my two elders.”
