The man shook his head. "I don't know. He's only been chatting with us online and has never met us in person. Moreover, after we completed the mission, he cut off contact with us."

Song Qingyu's eyes dimmed in an instant.

The man didn't notice: "Miss Song, we have already got five million. Should we use Lin Qinxue and Lu Yanzhi to exchange for more money later?"

Song Qingyu came back to her senses, looked at the excited man in front of her, slowly put away the complicated emotions in her eyes, and smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I did something for you, and in return, shouldn't you do something for me as well?"

The man was stunned: "This...I have to ask my brother."

"Okay." Song Qingyu moved her body, "But before you go, can you help me untie the ropes on my body?"

"this……"

"I've been hungry for a whole day and night, I just want to eat something. Besides, I'm counting on you two to help me, so why would I run away?"

The man hesitated for a moment before helping Song Qingyu untie the rope.

Song Qingyu did not take the opportunity to escape.

Instead, he picked up the bread on the ground and began to eat it greedily.

Seeing that she was really hungry, the man finally felt relieved and turned to look for her brother.

After a while.

Both brothers came over.

Song Qingyu was still eating bread.

The bread was dry.

But for someone who has been hungry for a day and a night, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a delicacy.

The older man walked up to Song Qingyu, frowned, and watched Song Qingyu stuff the last piece of bread into her mouth. Then he said, "What do you want us to do for you?"

"Send Zhang Lan in."

When the two heard this, their expressions changed: "Are you crazy? We are thieves, how can we help you send Zhang Lan in?"

"Don't worry about this. All you need to do is call Zhang Lan and tell her that I've been released. Tell her to come back with the antiques and redeem her daughter."

"Where do you trade?" the older man asked.

"That's not important."

The two men were completely confused and looked at Song Qingyu hesitantly.

Seeing this, Song Qingyu smiled slightly: "I just asked you to make a phone call. There is no risk factor. It's such a simple thing. You are unwilling to help me. How can I help you get Lu Yanzhi's money?"

The two looked at each other again.

A moment later.

The older man said, "Okay, I'll make the call."

"Wait." Song Qingyu called out to the two of them.

"Anything else?" the older man asked impatiently.

"Since we are already partners, it should be okay for us to get to know each other, right?"

The older man was stunned.

Before he could think of how to answer, his younger brother said, "My name is Xiaozhi, and this is my older brother, Dazhi."

Song Qingyu nodded and said nothing more.

The older man then left with peace of mind.

Song family.

Zhang Lan paced in the living room, waiting for the kidnapper's next instructions.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement.

She was restless. "What do they want?"

Xu Tiancheng sat on the sofa with a cold face, not saying a word.

Zhang Lan was annoyed, and Xu Tiancheng remained silent, which made her even more annoyed. She couldn't help but glare at Xu Tiancheng: "I'm talking to you, do you hear me?"

Xu Tiancheng slowly raised his eyes.

Only then did Zhang Lan realize that his eyes were cold.

She shuddered: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Jiaojiao was kidnapped because of you, wasn't it?"

Zhang Lan shuddered. "Do you think I would kidnap my own daughter?"

"I know you would never kidnap Jiaojiao, but—" Xu Tiancheng's gaze was like a sharp knife, "You might kidnap Song Qingyu in order to get the antique, but... I always thought you had no feelings for your ex-husband's daughter, but yesterday, when you saw Song Qingyu almost die, you seemed to care a lot?"

Zhang Lan's body shook again.

Now, whenever she closed her eyes and thought of the sharp knife going straight to Song Qingyu's neck, her heart felt like it was being gripped and she couldn't breathe at all.

She also always thought that she didn't love Song Qingyu.

No!

She just doesn't love Song Qingyu!

How could she possibly love Song Qingyu!

After all, Song Qingyu...

Zhang Lan pressed his forehead and said, "Of course I don't care about Song Qingyu. Otherwise, I would kill Song Xiu for Jiaojiao. But Song Qingyu is a person after all. I have raised her for so many years. Even if she is just a cat or a dog, she has feelings for me.

Besides, I thought she was going to die in front of me, and I was scared..."

Xu Tiancheng stared at Zhang Lan, not knowing what he was thinking, his eyes were dark and gloomy.

Zhang Lan was about to defend himself when his cell phone rang.

I took a look and it was an unfamiliar number.

It must be the kidnappers calling.

She picked up the phone quickly.

As expected.

Dazhi's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Mrs. Xu, we have received the money, and Miss Song has left."

"What about our Jiaojiao?" Zhang Lan's heart tightened and he asked impatiently.

"Don't worry, Madam Xu. As long as you bring the antiques here, we will release Miss Xu immediately. Oh, by the way, this time, I will be merciful and give you half a day. If you can't see the antiques after a day, I'm sorry. From now on, if you want to meet Miss Xu, you can only do it underground."

"No!!!" Zhang Lan cried out heartbreakingly.

The person on the other end had already hung up the phone.

"What should I do?" Zhang Lan grabbed Xu Tiancheng's hand and shook it desperately without catching his breath.

Xu Tiancheng looked at Zhang Lan's anxious expression and frowned.

He really thought too much.

Zhang Lan still treats Xu Jiaojiao and Song Qingyu differently.

As long as Xu Jiaojiao is around, he never has to worry that Zhang Lan will leave him.

After calming himself down, Xu Tiancheng looked into Zhang Lan's eyes and said, "Do you want Jiaojiao to come back?"

"What are you talking about? Jiaojiao is a piece of flesh that fell from my body. Of course I hope she comes back safely."

"Well, I have a way—" Xu Tiancheng looked at Zhang Lan without blinking, "But it's a bit dangerous."

"Tell me, for Jiaojiao, I'm not afraid of anything."

What Xu Tiancheng wanted was Zhang Lan's willingness to sacrifice everything for his daughter. He slowly raised the corners of his lips, suppressed the calculation in his eyes, and gently uttered a word: "Steal."

Zhang Lan's figure shook.

The security of the villa is very strict. Even if she can steal the antiques, the police will find her.

But if she didn't steal the antique, her daughter...

Zhang Lan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go!"

For Xu Jiaojiao, she would be willing to die.

However, somewhere in my heart, a bright and beautiful face flashed across my mind.

She quickly suppressed it tightly, not daring to let that face show up again.
