Upon hearing this, Jiang Chi was taken aback.

There are doubts and concerns.

Jiang Chi has been through a lot, so he was particularly cautious when he heard this kind of phone call.

After all, many scammers exploit people's weaknesses to swindle money these days.

What evidence do you have that my grandson is in your hands?

Instantly, the masked man made Jiang Zhi speak.

Jiang Zhi did as instructed.

"Grandpa, it's me—A-Zhi! Qiao Chu and I are both in their hands."

It really is Jiang Zhi's voice!

Immediately, Jiang Chi's expression became very solemn and serious.

"Please don't hurt my grandson and granddaughter-in-law. Let's talk this out and discuss it."

"I want 1 billion, in cash!"

“I can give it to you, but I don’t have that much cash on hand. You’ll have to give me time to raise the money. It’s already evening, and the banks are closed.”

"Don't try anything funny, and whatever you do, don't call the police, or I'll kill him!"

“I won’t call the police. I only have one grandson. As long as he and my granddaughter-in-law come back safely, I really can give you the money.”

"Pay the ransom tomorrow afternoon. It's 1 billion, not a penny less."

"Okay! Where do we pay the ransom?"

I'll let you know tomorrow afternoon.

In an instant, the masked man hung up the phone and took out the SIM card, damaging it.

...

Another masked man slapped Jiang Zhi's face a few times.

"It's true that people have different fates! You're a cripple, but your life is worth more than ours."

His companion chimed in, "Yes, this cripple has a lucky life!"

"Fate is never fair, but we have a chance to turn things around."

The leader glared at his partners, "You all better watch yourselves, watch your lives, and don't mess with them. Our goal is to get the money. Before we get the money, we can't cause any trouble or create any complications."

Otherwise, even if you have money, you won't live to enjoy it! I've inquired; that old geezer cherishes this cripple the most. He has no son, so he'll definitely protect his grandson; he'll definitely give him money.

"Boss, will that old geezer call the police?"

"Would he dare call the police? Unless he doesn't want his grandson to be there for him when he dies!"

"..."

“It’s late. Leave two people to guard this place, and the other two can go to sleep. All the doors and windows here are sealed up. Since the cripple can’t walk, let him use a wheelchair. Tie his hands and gag him.”

"yes!"

...

It's extremely urgent.

Jiang Chi made many phone calls overnight to raise money.

He also called Qin Yun and Xiao Liu.

Jiang Chi didn't call the police; he just wanted his grandson and granddaughter-in-law to come back.

...

There was only one kerosene lamp in the small room.

The lights weren't very bright, but they were enough for Jiang Zhi and Qiao Chu to see each other.

They were sitting face to face.

They never imagined they would face such a catastrophe.

With their mouths gagged and unable to speak, Jiang Zhi and Qiao Chu could only look at each other.

Jiang Zhi also tried to break free of the ropes binding his wrists.

They then looked around the house, searching for an opportunity to save themselves.

...

The early morning hours are when people are most sleepy.

Judging from the noise outside, they haven't changed shifts yet.

Exhausted, the masked man guarding the outside occasionally dozed off.

Just then, Jiang Zhi suddenly stood up.

Instantly, Qiao Chu was stunned, staring at him with wide eyes.

My goodness! Jiang Zhi can walk.

He wasn't disabled after all!

He actually lied to her!

Qiao Chu was a little angry, but she was still very happy!

...

After Jiang Zhi got up, he approached the kerosene lamp.

He turned around, his back to the kerosene lamp.

He was using fire to burn the rope binding his hands.

He then untied Qiao Chu.

"Honey, they don't have guns, do they? If they only have knives, I can take them down by myself."
