Chapter 180 Threatening Grandpa, Switching Between Active and Passive Roles

"Yes, I'm coming, Mom," Zhuang Weiming called out, then hurriedly took the bowl and went out.

"Mom, here you go."

Wang Aiping took the medicine, tested its temperature, found it was a bit hot, stirred it to cool it down slightly, and then drank the whole bowl of medicine without even frowning.

After she finished drinking, she even smacked her lips and then frowned.

"Why does this medicine taste so familiar? It's no different from what I usually drink," Wang Aiping said, puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Weiming's heart skipped a beat.

His mother was indeed frighteningly perceptive; she could even recognize the medicine.

That's right, the medicine he asked the driver to prepare was the same medicine his mother took regularly.

Zhuang Weiming still harbored doubts about Xia Yuhuan, who suddenly appeared and shamelessly claimed she could help his mother with surgery to remove the bullet.

Even though she was the daughter-in-law of the Chi family.

So he had someone prepare the old lady's daily medication in advance, and as soon as he received the medication, he had it sent for testing, just in case.

This is his mother, so he is naturally extremely careful about her safety.

Even if his mother eventually found out and blamed him, he accepted it.

“Not all medicine is bitter, so how could it have a familiar taste? Mom, you must be mistaken,” Zhuang Weiming said firmly.

Wang Aiping thought about it and agreed.

Zhuang Weiming felt a little guilty and didn't dare to stay any longer. He quickly said, "Mom, I'm going to work, or I'll be late. Call me if you need anything."

Wang Aiping watched his hurried figure and narrowed her eyes slightly.

Why did she get the feeling that her boss looked guilty?

...

On the other side, just after Zhuang Weiming left and Xia Yuhuan returned to the living room, the phone rang.

She hurried to answer the phone.

Hello, who is this?

“Xia Yuhuan, if you don’t want anything to happen to your grandfather, go out by yourself, take all the money you have, and head to the market in the south.”

"Don't tell Chi Shaokang, don't call the police, or you can wait to collect the old man's corpse."

After the call was connected, the other party only said two sentences before hanging up.

But Xia Yuhuan felt a chill run through her body as a result.

She recognized the voice; it was Xia Jianyong's.

Xia Jianyong actually kidnapped her grandfather to threaten her!

Xia Yuhuan was furious.

But Xia Jianyong was wanted by the police and was too busy to take care of himself, so how could he have the opportunity to kidnap her grandfather to threaten her?

If Xia Jianyong really had the ability to leave the city, he would have run away long ago. How could he have gone to such lengths to kidnap her grandfather and then come back to threaten her?

The crucial point is that communication was difficult at this time, and she had no way to call and confirm whether her grandfather had really been kidnapped.

So even though she knew it was a trap, she had to jump in.

Her grandfather raised her from childhood. Although he raised the original owner of the body, she took over the body of the original owner and therefore had to bear all the karma that belonged to the original owner.

So Grandpa absolutely cannot be hurt.

"Daughter, what's wrong? You don't look well." Chi Shaokang happened to come into the living room and asked when he saw Xia Yuhuan's pale face.

Xia Yuhuan looked at Chi Shaokang with red eyes, looking like she was about to cry, which made him feel sorry for her.

"Why the long face? What happened?" Chi Shaokang asked hurriedly.

“Xia Jianyong just called and threatened me with my grandfather.”

"He told me to go to the market in the south and not to tell you, or he would harm Grandpa," Xia Yuhuan said in a low voice, forcing back her tears.

She didn't want to cry, but her body's instincts seemed uncontrollable.

She knew that this was a natural physical reaction caused by the deep bond between the original owner and her grandfather.

"Xia Jianyong actually dared to call and threaten us, he really doesn't know what's good for him." Chi Shaokang gritted his teeth.

He immediately stepped forward, called Yan Hu, and briefly explained the situation.

“Daughter, just go out as he asks, and leave everything else to us.”

"Okay, Dad, then I'll leave everything to you and Uncle Yan." Xia Yuhuan wiped away her tears and said, her voice choked with emotion.

She naturally couldn't possibly comply with Xia Jianyong's request and not tell Chi Shaokang anything.

She was greedy and didn't want to put herself in danger, nor did she want anything to happen to her grandfather.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for her to go to the meeting alone.

She had already decided to act as bait to lure Xia Jianyong out, and now she was naturally continuing her plan.

However, her matter involved her grandfather, which made her uneasy.

I always feel sorry for my grandfather.

"Don't be afraid, we're all here. We'll make sure nothing happens to you and Grandpa," Chi Shaokang said in a deep voice.

Xia Yuhuan nodded vigorously, then grabbed her things and quickly left.

Throughout the journey, Xia Yuhuan tried her best to appear panicked, scared, and nervous.

Coupled with her red eyes from previous emotional outbursts, she looked exactly like someone being blackmailed by someone using their closest relatives.

Xia Jianyong secretly followed Xia Yuhuan.

Xia Yuhuan felt somewhat relieved to find that no one was following her.

When they arrived at the market in the south, Xia Yuhuan stopped and looked around.

This place is packed with people who came to buy groceries in the morning. The bustling crowd is crowded, and all you can hear is the sound of bargaining. As far as the eye can see, there are heads everywhere.

There was no sign of Xia Jianyong at all.

Xia Yuhuan was at a loss for what to do.

She carefully recalled the contents of her previous phone call.

Xia Jianyong seemed to have only told her to come towards the market in the south, without telling her to stop or specifying any particular location.

Xia Yuhuan frowned, but had no choice but to keep walking forward.

Even with advance planning, it's difficult to control such a chaotic scene.

I wonder if Yan Hu and his men can keep a close watch on her and ensure her safety?

She had a vague feeling that her bait was probably going to be eaten today, and that things were hanging by a thread.

Just as Xia Yuhuan was feeling uneasy, she felt her hand being tugged.

Then she heard someone say, "Come with me."

Then the man walked past her and squeezed into the depths of the crowd without looking back.

If Xia Yuhuan were to call for help at this moment, given the current density of the crowd, Xia Jianyong would definitely not be able to escape and would be caught immediately.

But Xia Jianyong threatened her with her grandfather.

Even if the possibility was extremely slim, Xia Yuhuan dared not gamble on it.

With her weakness exploited, Xia Yuhuan gritted her teeth in anger, but ultimately chose to follow Xia Jianyong.

Although it was akin to throwing herself into the lion's den, she had no choice but to do it to ensure her grandfather's safety.

Now she can only hope that Yan Hu is capable enough to lead a group to keep up with her and Xia Jianyong.

Otherwise, she might really be in trouble today, and things could really go wrong.

Xia Yuhuan followed Xia Jianyong through the crowd, and when she saw him turn into a small alley ahead, she quickly followed.

However, as soon as they entered, someone covered their mouth and dragged them forcefully behind them.

Xia Yuhuan froze, then struggled frantically, but to no avail.

The other person seemed annoyed by her struggling and directly struck her on the neck.

Xia Yuhuan rolled her eyes and fainted.
