For many years, Jiang Ning had been in good health, never even experiencing headaches or fevers. But now, due to a sudden attack of internal heat, she ended up in the hospital.

When she woke up, she found the private room surrounded by people, all of whom were very anxious.

"Ah Chen, how are they?"

The first thing she did upon waking was to ask about her mother and Songsong.

Lin Chen held her hand and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, I've already sent out all the bodyguards, I believe there will be some news soon."

The bodyguards they train are even more capable than the police; they are specifically trained to serve them and are far more efficient.

Everyone comforted her, telling her not to get anxious or upset.

At this moment, Sofia and Tongtong were also sitting on the sofa in the ward, their moods low.

More than ten hours have passed, but there has been no word from the other party. No one has asked them for ransom or anything. They still don't know whether it's a kidnapping or illegal trafficking.

If they were just human traffickers, why did they kidnap Ji Min as well?

Just as everyone was anxious, someone reported seeing a van suspected of being used for kidnapping, heading towards the mountainous area in the suburbs.

"Tongtong, don't be sad. Take action now. Use the internet to hack into the surveillance system and find that van."

"Ah Chen, go and buy remote-controlled drones, cameras, and mountain hiking equipment right away."

Jiang Ning, disregarding any need for rest, began giving instructions.

The others, under her command, were on standby at all times while ensuring safety.

No matter who the opponent is, as long as we unite, we will definitely be able to defeat them.

Two hours later, someone finally made contact with Jiang Ning.

The other party demanded a ransom of 100 million yuan over the phone, to be delivered to an abandoned chemical plant.

After putting away the phone, Lin Qiao asked her if she recognized who was on the other end.

She shook her head; the other person had altered their voice and she couldn't recognize it.

However, now that she knows the location, she not only wants to rescue them, but also makes those who kidnapped them pay the price.

After preparing the cash, Jiang Ning arranged for a car to drive towards the chemical plant.

Since the other party didn't have her with them, she went alone, with her bodyguards following her from a distance, making sure not to leave a trace.

On the way, Tongtong called and told her that the van was indeed heading towards the suburbs, in a different direction from the chemical plant. Could there be a trap involved?

Jiang Ning paused for two seconds, then said:

"Tongtong, you take the men and head towards the suburbs. Use the drone to search for the van. I'll go to the chemical plant. Let's split up."

Tongtong knew that both sides were dangerous, but at this moment, she couldn't care less about either side in order to save people.

Instead of waiting to die, Yang Lu went to her father to see if he could help.

Upon hearing that something had happened to Jiang Ning's family, Yang Ziqiang immediately called the Public Security Bureau.

"The situation is urgent. Could you send someone to conduct an investigation in plainclothes first?"

After he explained the situation, the police immediately took action. "I'll send a sniper to the chemical plant first to see if he can help."

When Yang Lu learned that the police had sent people to help, she was relieved. Just as she was about to leave, she knocked the photo album on the coffee table to the ground.

She quickly picked it up, and the album was frozen on a large group photo.

She immediately recognized a face inside.

After staring at the photo for several minutes, Yang Ziqiang explained where it came from: he had asked Minren for it years ago.

She doesn't have any solo photos, only one group photo.

Yang Lu suddenly realized that this was what Ji Min looked like when she was young.

Although her face is now that of an old woman, it has no age spots and her face shape has not changed much. She still retains about 50-60% resemblance to her appearance when she was young.

"Dad, are you sure the person in the photo is your first love?" Yang Lu asked directly.

Yang Ziqiang's face flushed slightly. "You child, how old are you? Why are you still talking about this? These are all distant memories; let's not talk about them now."

Yang Lu ran her fingers over the photo, then chuckled softly.

"Dad, you haven't visited my courtyard house in all these years. Do you know what you've missed?"

Jiang Ning's mother's name is Ji Min; she's the person in your photo!

Yang Ziqiang's hand holding the cane trembled, and he froze.

"What did you say?"

His voice was hoarse and anxious.

The woman he knew was not dead; she was still alive and well in this world.

Moreover, she was so close to me, and I had many opportunities to meet her, but I never managed to.

"Come on, take me there quickly, I need to go to the chemical plant."

After realizing what was happening, he immediately asked Yang Lu to drive him to the chemical plant to rescue the people.

At this moment, Jiang Ning's car had already driven into the chemical plant.

The dilapidated chemical plant had no gatekeeper, and the roads inside were overgrown with weeds.

All the buildings were destroyed in the earthquake and have not been rebuilt or repaired; they have just remained there.

Amidst the ruins, a hundred-meter-tall chimney stands out prominently.

She looked up and saw the figures of two women.

One of them, who was tied up with a rope, was Ji Min.

The other one is Ma Huijuan, whom I haven't heard of or met for many years.

After Kun Kun was sentenced, Jiang Ning also paid attention to news about Ma Huijuan. However, she seemed to be quite good at hiding it, and she couldn't find out any news about her.

Unexpectedly, she caused such a sensational incident as soon as she appeared.

Jiang Ning got out of the car and opened the trunk, which was full of stacks of red 100-yuan bills.

She grabbed a megaphone and shouted at the chimney.

“Ma Huijuan, release my mother, and all this money is yours! Where is Songsong? As long as you return Songsong to me unharmed, I can guarantee you a life of comfort and wealth, and let your son live a carefree life.”

Upon hearing this, Ma Huijuan chuckled, grabbed the rope behind Ji Min, and pushed her forward a step.

They were standing on a maintenance platform at the very top of the chimney, surrounded by railings that were more than half a person's height.

If Ji Min had leaned forward even a little more, she would likely have fallen from a height of over 100 meters.

Ji Min saw Jiang Ning's small figure on the ground and screamed in fright.

"Ningning, I'm so scared, I don't want to fall."

In her haste, she actually called out Jiang Ning's name and even uttered a complete sentence.

Jiang Ning had no time to feel happy; instead, she warned Ma Huijuan that if Ji Min got into trouble, she shouldn't expect to gain anything.

Ma Huijuan showed no fear; instead, she burst into laughter.

"Jiang Ning, you think you're so capable? You still have to beg me at a time like this! If you want to see your grandson again, you'd better be polite to me. Otherwise, the next time you see him, he'll be a cold, lifeless corpse."

Jiang Ning trembled with anger, feeling an unprecedented chill.

After her anger subsided for a long time, she made a resolute decision.

At this moment, even if it meant being reduced to ashes, she would still kill Ma Huijuan!
