Chapter 59 Kidnapped

When Tian Rong kidnapped Huang Minwei to vent her anger for me, Jiang Ruohe came that night by coincidence, and I had some doubts at that time.

But Tian Rong kept apologizing to me, saying that she was so angry that she couldn't bear to see Huang Minwei bullying me, so she kidnapped Huang Minwei. Thinking about how she almost lost her job because she scolded Huang Minwei to defend me, I felt that she was just being reckless. The suspicion in my mind only flashed by, and I felt that I was overthinking it.

But later, in the coffee shop, Huang Minwei was meeting with the person who was behind the scenes, and Tian Rong happened to come. However, after seeing me, she did not walk towards Huang Minwei, but walked towards me, and scolded Huang Minwei again. However, Huang Minwei did not have too much entanglement with her.

At that time, I was very suspicious and felt that it couldn't be such a coincidence, but I still couldn't believe it.

She is my sister. Although we are not related by blood, we have been together for fifteen years. Although Shen Xiuting doesn't treat me very well, Tian Rong treats me very well and treats me like her own sister.

When I was a child, when others bullied me, she would help me drive those kids away and said that I was her sister and she would protect me for the rest of her life.

I was very conflicted during this period, and there was always a voice telling me that I had guessed wrong. She was so nice to me, how could she be the one who helped Huang Huang Minwei.

There was a flash of pain in my eyes, but now I was sure that person was her.

Because before I entered the KTV, I ran into Huang Minwei. At that time, Huang Minwei passed by me, and my mind was full of wanting to find Shen Xiuting as soon as possible, and I didn't pay much attention to her at all.

Tian Rong arrived so timely. What does this mean? It means that Huang Minwei informed her in time.

There was some bitterness in my eyes. I really couldn't understand why Tian Rong would help Huang Minwei to frame me. I also couldn't figure out what I had done to offend her and make her hate me so much.

I raised my head, a trace of viciousness flashed across my eyes. Now she was not only the one who helped Huang Minwei, but also the murderer who conspired with Shen Xiuting to murder my father.

On my father's birthday, I went shopping with her. Shen Xiuting called her and I answered the phone.

Shen Xiuting asked Tian Rong if she had bought insurance for the old man. She couldn't wait any longer. After hearing my voice, she told me that she asked Tian Rong to buy it for their neighbor Uncle Chen.

I hadn't thought about it before, but the last time I went to see Aunt Zhao to ask about what happened on the night my father passed away, I suddenly remembered it and asked about it.

Aunt Zhao said that Shen Xiuting was the first person in this community to buy insurance for my father. At that time, I didn’t quite believe in insurance. It was not until my father passed away and we received the compensation that the elderly people went to buy insurance in order to leave some property for their children.

I quickly walked out of the KTV and found a secluded alley. I took out a small black object from my bag and put it to my ear. Soon I heard Tian Rong's voice.

This was when I just confronted Shen Xiuting. I hid the bug in her long curly hair.

"Oh my god, I was so scared. Fortunately, Yu Xiaowan didn't have much brains and came to ask you directly. But you are too timid, Mom. Yu Xiaowan has no evidence, so how could you almost be fooled by her and tell her out."

"That little bitch Yu Xiaowan really wanted to strangle me to death. She even guessed that I gave Old Yu fake medicine and said someone saw me buying fake medicine. Of course I was scared."

"It's a good thing you came here, otherwise I would have almost told it out. She pinched my neck and it hurt so much." Shen Xiuting said with lingering fear.

"Mom, when did you become so stupid? I told you a long time ago that no one would find out that you and that old man had fake medicine. I did it perfectly. No matter how she investigates, she can't do anything to you without evidence and based on suspicion alone."

"Oh, maybe I did something wrong and I feel uneasy, so I was scared by her provocation. No, I have to convince myself that I will never be afraid of Yu Xiaowan when I see her next time." Shen Xiuting started to scold me again.

She said that she bought the insurance and the money should be hers.

She also said that my father was a dying man, and in the past few years, he had not made any money for her and had been spending money all the time.

"That old man didn't have many years left to live. What difference does it make if he dies sooner or later? Yu Xiaowan is still holding me over. It must be because of the insurance money."

After hearing this, I really wanted to kill Shen Xiuting, this heartless woman.

Since Shen Xiuting married my dad, all of my dad's salary for the past ten years has been in her hands. It's just that my dad has been sick in the past two years and needs to spend money on medicine. However, half of the money for buying medicine was earned by me from my part-time job and given to Shen Xiuting. Only in the past two months, I gave all my money to Tian Fen, so I used Shen Xiuting's money.

"Mom, in the final analysis, it's all your fault. Yu Xiaowan suspected you because you liked to show off and told those old ladies that you bought a five million insurance policy for that old man. Those old ladies were jealous, so they told Yu Xiaowan."

"But I understand her fragile nature. Without any real evidence, she'll stop suspecting anything after a while. As for you, if you see her these days, treat her well and don't panic around her anymore. When the time comes, I'll go find her and give her my bank card..."

Before Tian Rong could finish her words, she was interrupted by Shen Xiuting.

"You're stupid, why should we give her money? I don't care, not a dime."

"Mom, I know Yu Xiaowan too well. If I give it to her, she won't want it. Then, after crying for a while, our relationship can return to what it was before. All you have to do is not cause trouble for me." Tian Rong said confidently.

A hint of coldness flashed across my eyes. If it were in the past, I might have really fallen for her trick, but now, how could I let them go so easily?

Based on this conversation, I could call the police and have them arrested, but I don't want to do that because it would be too easy for them.

These two mother and daughter made me lose the most important people to her. From now on, I will take away everything important to Tian Rong one by one. When they have nothing left, I will send them to jail.

I looked up at the dim starry sky. Dad, you are in heaven. You must bless me. I will definitely help you get revenge.

At this moment, Shen Xiuting's voice came from the headphones again.

"Oh, I forgot something. That little bitch Yu Xiaowan took pictures of me and my pretty boy. She even threatened to post them online. It would be so embarrassing if someone saw them."

"Mom, what can I say to you? I told you not to be so ostentatious. Look at how much trouble you have caused me." Tian Rong said with some complaint.

"With her personality, she probably won't send it out. After all, you are her stepmother. If she sends it out, it will be embarrassing for her. How about this, I will call her and talk to her nicely to see if she can give me the photo. If she doesn't, and really sends it out, I will find someone to suppress it first, and then I will be rude to her..." She lowered her voice and said coldly.

It seems that this is Tian Rong's nature. Not long after, my cell phone rang. I took a cold look at the display, changed to a man's voice in the settings, picked up the phone, and said that I picked up this phone at the door of the KTV.

"Oh, this is my phone. Where are you now? I'm coming to find you."

There was a hint of sneer in his eyes. Tian Rong was really shameless, but he still agreed to Tian Rong and made an appointment with her at a place.

Tian Rong felt a little proud after hanging up the phone.

"Mom, this is great news. Yu Xiaowan lost her phone. When we get her phone back, we'll delete the photos and then throw the phone away. That way, your photos will never be leaked."

"I have to go find the person who picked up the phone."

I took the thing out of my ear and went to a small mobile phone store nearby. I copied all the phone photos in my phone, bought a new phone, and gave the owner of the mobile phone store a thousand yuan, asking him to send my previous phone to Tian Rong as I wished.

After the boss came back, I asked him if Tian Rong had asked him anything.

"No, he didn't even look at me, he just took the phone away."

I said thank you to the boss and went back to Jiang's house. When I opened the door and entered the room, it was dim. I reached out to turn on the light and sighed.

Jiang Ruohe has not returned for two consecutive nights. I don’t know whether he has found Liu Xu in Qingcheng, nor do I know what he is doing at this moment.

I took out my newly bought cell phone and found Jiang Ruohe's phone number. I wanted to call him, but I didn't know what to say. Besides, we would be separated in a few days. After thinking about it, I decided to give up. I put the new phone on the table and went into the house to take a shower.

The next day, I wanted to go to work, but Xiao Shi called and asked me to rest for two more days.

"But my stomach is fine now?" I said depressedly.

"But I feel sorry for you and want you to rest for two more days." Xiao Shi said gently.

I felt a little excited, and I guessed that Tian Rong would come to see me today. After thinking about it, I agreed and said thank you to Xiao Shi.

After hanging up the phone, I went out. When I came back, Aunt Wang told me that my sister was here.

I nodded lightly and sat on the sofa. When Tian Rong saw me come back, she hurried towards me.

"Xiao Wan, I'm really sorry about what happened to my mother. I came here today to apologize on her behalf."

"But you must believe me. My mother didn't murder Uncle Yu. Uncle Yu was so kind to her when he was alive. How could she possibly have murdered him?"

I stood there without saying a word, pretending to be sulking.

Seeing that I was still angry, Tian Rong hurriedly took out a bank card from her bag and looked at me with red eyes.

"Xiao Wan, this is the 500,000 yuan I saved. I don't have a password. I told you before that if my mom doesn't give it to you, I will return it to you. I hope we can still be good sisters."

Tian Rong stuffed the card into my hand and looked at me sincerely.

"Xiao Wan, I really treat you as my sister. Last night, I even had a fight with my mother for you. She said I was a traitor..." Tian Rong sobbed and said that she had to let me accept the 500,000 yuan no matter what.

I pretended to hesitate and looked at the bank card in my hand, then raised my head and looked at Tian Rong.

"Sister, this card..."

A hint of smile flashed across Tian Rong's eyes, and she thought to herself, given my personality, she would definitely say that this money was saved with great difficulty, and I can't accept it.

"I accept this card." I smiled faintly.

Tian Rong shuddered all over and looked at me in surprise. I lowered my eyes and put the card into my bag. The look in Tian Rong's eyes at this moment definitely showed that she wanted to skin me alive.

But when I looked up, her eyes were red again.

"Xiao Wan, just accept it. I'm very happy."

She must be regretting it and want to cry now.

I pulled Tian Rong to sit on the sofa and looked at her with an apologetic look.

"Sister, I've figured it out. You're right. Maybe it's because I couldn't accept my father's sudden death, so I said that Aunt Shen murdered my father."

"Actually, although Aunt Shen is stingy, she's pretty good to me and my dad. She wouldn't murder my dad for money. After all, that's illegal, and I believe Aunt Shen wouldn't dare do it."

"Yes, I can guarantee that she really didn't murder Uncle Yu." Tian Rong said, glancing at the bank card in my bag, her eyes full of pain.

"I took an indecent photo of Aunt Chen last night and wanted to delete it in front of you, but my phone was lost after I left the KTV last night. I didn't find it until I got home. I called my phone from the home phone, but it was turned off. I just went out and bought a new phone and a new SIM card." I looked at Tian Rong pretending to be sorry.

Tian Rong said it was lost and that was it.

"But I'm worried that Aunt Shen's photo will be used by criminals."

"It shouldn't happen, don't worry." Tian Rong said with a smile.

Of course, because she had deleted the photo and lost her phone.

"Sister, why don't you stay here and have lunch."

Tian Rong's smile was very forced, probably because she was not feeling comfortable about the 500,000 yuan, so she said she had to go back.

Just when Tian Rong was about to leave, Jiang Nianhao came downstairs.

"Hey, Xiaowan, is this your friend?"

"This is my sister," I introduced.

Tian Rong looked at Jiang Nianhao, called him "Uncle", and whispered to me that she really didn't expect that Jiang Ruohe's father was so young.

Jiang Nianhao was also observing Tian Rong with narrowed eyes, saying that she was really beautiful.

"Lunch time is almost here, why not have lunch here?"

Tian Rong was a little hesitant, and it seemed that she wanted to agree, but she had rejected me before. I hurriedly pulled her hand and asked her to stay for lunch.

At the dinner, Tian Rong forgot about the 500,000 yuan and chatted and laughed with Jiang Nianhao. Jiang Nianhao picked up some food for Tian Rong and asked her to eat more. Then he thought about it and picked up some food for me and asked me to eat more as well.

When seeing Tian Rong off, she said Jiang Nianhao was really enthusiastic.

A complicated look flashed across my eyes, and then I smiled and said, "My dad is like this to everyone."

After Tian Rong left, I went into the room and Jiang Nianhao asked if my sister had a boyfriend.

"If such a lovely girl doesn't have a boyfriend, I plan to find one for her," Jiang Nianhao continued.

"No, my sister is only a few days older than me and hasn't found a boyfriend yet. I'm worried about her. Dad, if any of your friends' sons don't have girlfriends, you can introduce them to my sister."

Jiang Nianhao nodded repeatedly and said yes. When I went upstairs, a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.

In the afternoon, I transferred out the 500,000 yuan that Tian Rong gave me and deposited it into my card. I was not interested in Tian Rong's money at all. After a few days, when I left the Jiang family, I donated all the 500,000 yuan.

I called someone and asked them to post the photo of Shen Xiuting online at 7:30 in the evening.

After making the arrangements, I was about to go home when my cell phone rang. It was Yang Ru calling.

"Xiao Wan, something happened to me?" Yang Ru said in a panic.

I hurriedly asked her what was wrong.

Yang Ru said that her ex-boyfriend came to her door to ask for breakup money.

"He also said that if I didn't open the door, he would smash it with an axe. He made a scene at the company yesterday and was chased away by security. I was afraid he would come to the company again, so I took a day off today. I didn't expect him to find my new place."

"Everyone in the apartment has gone to work, and he's the only one making trouble. I saw him through the peephole with an axe, counting down the time. What should I do?"

"Call the police immediately."

"Oh, I forgot in my haste. He really hit the door with an axe."

There was a ringing sound on the other end of the phone. I hurriedly asked her which building she lived in and told her not to be nervous because I was going to call the police.

After learning where she lived, I hurriedly called Yan Yun.

"This man is so shameless! Tell me where her home is and I'll take people there."

When I arrived, Yan Yun was already there, and he brought two policemen with him.

Tian Mingliang pushed Yan Yun arrogantly.

"This is a matter between me and my girlfriend, get out of here."

Seeing the police coming, Yang Ru opened the door.

"Comrade police officer, I have already broken up with him. He was the one who did something wrong to me first, and he is still asking me for a breakup fee."

"Yang Ru, we've been in a relationship for three or four years. You can break up just like that, and I haven't agreed yet. As long as I don't give in, you're my girlfriend. I also said that if I give in, you'll give me 500,000 yuan."

This is the first time I have seen such a shameless man. Yang Ru was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She said that Tian Mingliang had been idle for the past three or four years and was using her money. She had the transfer records.

"We're in a relationship, so what if I use your money? Isn't it normal to use your money? I've slept with you countless times in the past three or four years. You should at least compensate me a little bit."

"Shameless." Tian Rong glared at her.

"Comrade, this is too shameful for a man. If you continue to act unreasonably and harass this lady, I will arrest you and take you to the police station." Yan Yun looked at him with contempt.

After all, there were three policemen there, so Tian Mingliang was a little scared. He glared at us and told Yang Ru to be careful.

"Yang Ru, I'm telling you, if you don't prepare 500,000 yuan for me, I will post your private photos on the Internet..." Tian Mingliang was looking at Yang Ru while backing down the stairs. I took the opportunity to stretch out my leg and trip him.

Tian Mingliang cried out, fell down and hit his head.

Tian Mingliang got up, looked at me angrily, called me a bitch, covered his head and ran up to me angrily, stood in front of me, and stretched out his hand to slap me, but was blocked by Yan Yun, and Tian Mingliang's hand hit him.

"You dare to attack the police? Arrest him." Yan Yun said coldly.

"Comrade police officer, I don't want to hit you, I want to hit her. She tripped me just now and that's why I fell down the stairs." Tian Mingliang looked at me resentfully.

"You're lying. It was obvious that you fell down the stairs." Yan Yun said this, and I looked at him with some gratitude.

Yan Yun turned and looked at the other two policemen.

"Did you see anyone trip him?"

"We didn't see anything."

"Then arrest him."

In this way, Tian Mingliang was taken away by the two police officers.

I said thank you to Yan Yun.

"I wanted to beat up a man like that just now, but my status doesn't allow it."

Yan Yun looked at Yang Ru and told her not to worry, he would treat Tian Mingliang well at the station.

"As for his threats, don't take them to heart. I'll teach him at the station that he'll be held legally responsible for whatever he does."

Yang Ru looked at Yan Yun with gratitude and said thank you.

"Then I'll be leaving first."

After Yan Yun left, I quickly comforted Yang Ru and told her that if he dared to harass her again, I would teach him a lesson.

"Xiao Wan, thank you so much. That scumbag was so vicious just now that I forgot to call the police the first time."

After comforting Yang Ru a few words, I asked her to give me her cell phone. I had saved Yan Yun's phone number for her.

"Next time that scumbag comes looking for you, call Yan Yun first, and then call me."

"Let me tell you, Officer Yan doesn't have a girlfriend yet."

I looked at Yang Ru. Last time I heard that Yan Yun didn't have a girlfriend, I wanted to introduce Yang Ru to him. Later, when I learned that Yang Ru had a boyfriend, I gave up the idea.

But now Yang Ru has broken up with that scumbag, so it seems that it is not possible to introduce a boyfriend to Yang Ru now. However, you can introduce them to each other first, and then spend more time together, get to know each other, and see if they are suitable.

"Okay, next time Tian Mingliang comes looking for me, I'll call this officer. Xiaowan, thank you so much for today, you and the officer. Do you know when he gets off work? I'd like to treat you two to dinner."

I said I had to call Yan Yun to ask about this. After the call was connected, I asked Yan Yun when he would get off work, and he said half past five.

"It's like this. Thank you so much for what happened just now. My friend wants to treat you and me to a meal."

Yan Yun said no, this was what he should do.

"Oh, I absolutely must treat you to a meal. Let me tell you, I was planning to introduce my friend to you last time. She's so nice, gentle, and considerate, but she just broke up. I think you two should just be friends first and see if you're a good match."

"Last time, I heard your mom say that if you come over here without your girlfriend, she won't let you in. It's almost October now, and there are only a few months left."

"Oh well."

Seeing that Yan Yun agreed, I immediately ran into the house and told Yang Ru that Yan Yun would get off work at 5:30 in the afternoon, and we could go out for dinner together then.

After Yan Yun got off work, the three of us found a Chinese restaurant. Maybe because we were in a good mood today, we had a particularly good appetite and ate a lot.

"Xiao Wan, don't eat too much again, or you'll have diarrhea like yesterday." Yang Ru pushed me and said in a low voice.

"Yeah, my stomach is just getting better. I'll try to control it."

But when I thought about the good show that would be shown in the evening, I became very happy and couldn’t help but start eating.

During the dinner, although Yang Ru and Yan Yun were rather shy, they still chatted a lot. They had similar interests and hobbies.

I think they are a good match together.

Halfway through the meal, my stomach did feel a little uncomfortable and I felt a little nauseous. I quickly got up, said sorry, and went to the bathroom.

As soon as I entered the bathroom, I vomited into the trash can, and I vomited so much that tears came to my eyes.

I looked annoyed. It seems that I really can't be greedy.

If Yang Ru saw me like this, she would definitely say that I didn't listen to the old man's advice. I was suffering right before my eyes.

Suddenly, a white hand handed me some tissues. I looked up and saw a foreign woman with super white skin and long golden hair.

"Are you pregnant?" she asked me in standard Mandarin.

I shook my head and said no. A little embarrassedly, I said that I had gastroenteritis these past two days and had lost control of my appetite and ate a lot.

I took the tissue from her hand, wiped my mouth, and said thank you to her.

"You're welcome. I'll be leaving first." She smiled at me and left the bathroom.

I washed my face, walked out and returned to my seat. Yang Ru saw that I looked pale and asked me what was wrong.

"It's okay, let's continue eating."

After vomiting everything, I felt a little hungry again and ate something light.

After Yang Ru paid the bill, I looked at the time. It was already 7:15, so I had to go back.

I asked Yan Yun to help me send Yang Ru back, but Yang Ru shook her head and said she could go back by herself.

"It's so dangerous for a girl to go back home at night. Let Yan Yun take you there."

"What about you?" Yang Ru looked up and asked me.

"My home is close to here, only five minutes away. Don't worry about me, let Yan Yun take you home."

Yang Ru couldn't resist me, so she agreed.

After they left, I hurried back to Jiang's house. Jiang Nianhao was sitting in the living room reading a newspaper. When he saw me come back, he asked me if I had dinner.

"I've eaten. Grandpa hasn't come back yet?" I asked.

Jiang Nianhao said he would come back in the afternoon, but he went out again after only half an hour.

"It seems like something happened. I asked him, but he didn't tell me." Jiang Nianhao replied.

I didn't say anything else and went upstairs to take a shower.

When I came out of the bathroom, my cell phone rang. It was a text message from someone. He said that the thing had been done.

A smile flashed across my eyes, and I deleted the text message. I sat in front of the makeup mirror, put on a moisturizing mask, and after fifteen minutes, I washed my face and went downstairs.

At this moment, I was the only one in the living room on the first floor. I had just sat down and taken a sip of water when the doorbell rang.

I got up and opened the door. As soon as I opened it, I saw Tian Rong's resentful face. She raised her hand and wanted to slap me. I didn't dodge because if I did, it would arouse her suspicion.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" I covered my face with my hands and looked at her with red eyes, feeling a little aggrieved.

"Were you the one who sent out my mother's photo?" Tian Rong stared at me with a red face.

"How could it be me? I had that idea yesterday, but I lost my phone. Until now, I haven't found it. Sister, you have given me 500,000 yuan. How could I do that? Besides, Aunt Chen is also my mother. If this photo gets out, it will not only embarrass her, but also my Yu Xiaowan's face. When I walk on the street, people will say what the Jiang family's young lady and stepmother are like. Sister, do you think I will be embarrassed?"

I actually feel pretty good about it. Anyway, I'm going to divorce Jiang Ruohe, so I'm not afraid of losing face. As long as it can make Shen Xiuting and Tian Rong suffer, I'm willing to do anything.

Tian Rong was stunned, the anger on her face subsided a lot, and she looked at me with some suspicion.

"Is it really not you?"

"Sis, if you don't believe me, let's call the police and find out who posted the photo. We can also check my phone to see who found it. Maybe it was the person who uploaded it."

"How is that possible? I clearly saw that photo..." Tian Rong stopped talking and said nothing more.

Tian Rong looked up at me.

"Xiao Wan, I believe you. I'm sorry, I accidentally hit you just now."

My eyes turned red and I said it was okay, as long as she believed me.

Tian Rong, weren't you hypocritical to me before? Now, I want to learn from you.

"What's going on?" Jiang Nianhao's voice came from the stairs.

"Xiao Wan, what's wrong with your face?"

Tian Rong's eyes were filled with panic. My face is like this now. If I say I got hurt, Jiang Nianhao will definitely not believe it.

"Dad, this is what happened. Someone had a problem with my stepmother and photoshopped an indecent photo of her online, pretending to frame me. My sister misunderstood me and hit me in a fit of rage."

"But my sister now knows it wasn't me, and she's apologizing to me."

Seeing how much I helped her, Tian Rong no longer doubted me, but instead felt grateful.

"I was too angry just now. It's all the fault of the person behind this. My mother is trying to commit suicide now..." Tian Rong said with red eyes.

"Don't cry, tell me which website posted it. I'll make a phone call to suppress it and then find someone to say it was photoshopped."

"Thank you, Uncle Jiang."

I have to say, it’s good to have power. With just one phone call from Jiang Nianhao, the negative news about Shen Xiuting was immediately suppressed. He also whitewashed Shen Xiuting, saying that someone had framed her.

A smile flashed across my eyes. Although the matter was suppressed, Shen Xiuting also lost face for a while. There will be many opportunities in the future. It cannot be solved in one go like it was with Jiang Yichen and the others.

"Uncle Jiang, thank you so much. If you hadn't helped me, my mother might have had a mental breakdown." Tian Rong looked at Jiang Nianhao gratefully.

"What are you thanking me for? No need to thank me, this is what Uncle Jiang should do."

At this time, I noticed that Jiang Nianhao looked at Tian Rong with a very different look.

"You are Xiaowan's sister. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me."

Tian Rong nodded happily.

Not long after Tian Rong went out, I followed her out with two boxes of supplements. Outside the yard, I saw Tian Rong talking on the phone.

"It's not Xiaowan. It's most likely the person who picked up the phone yesterday. What was he looking for? I was so busy taking Yu Xiaowan's phone yesterday that I didn't even notice what he looked like. Okay, okay, this matter has been resolved. Don't make things more complicated for me."

Tian Rong hung up the phone impatiently, turned around and looked at me, startled.

"Sister, who are you talking to on the phone?"

Tian Rong looked at my face carefully, trying to see something in my eyes, but I was as calm as before. She concealed the suspicion in her eyes and said she was calling Shen Xiuting.

"I told my mom that this was definitely not you who did it. It's very likely that you lost your phone yesterday and someone found it and posted the photo online. I told her not to cry and that the matter has been resolved."

I looked at Tian Rong with a guilty look on my face and said, "Actually, it's my fault too. I should have not been so impulsive in taking pictures last night."

"I feel really sorry for Aunt Chen, so I got some supplements and wanted you to give them to Aunt Chen for me and tell her I'm sorry."

Tian Rong took the supplements and told me that she would have a good talk with Shen Xiuting when she got back.

"Xiao Wan, I was really too impulsive just now. I hope you won't be angry."

I said it was okay, I could understand her feelings, just like what I did to Shen Xiuting last night, I was too impulsive.

After Tian Rong left, my smiling face froze and I covered my face with my hands.

Tian Rong, I will get this slap back from you soon.

After returning to the room, I locked the door, took out the small headphones from the drawer, and put them in my ears. I also put a small eavesdropper in the foam of the gift box for Shen Xiuting.

Half an hour later, I heard Tian Rong's voice again. It seemed that she had returned home.

"It really wasn't Yu Xiaowan who did it. She even helped me put in a good word with Jiang Nianhao that night, and asked Jiang Nianhao to find someone to suppress the negative news about you."

"I suppressed it, but those old neighbors saw it online. They even called to make fun of me, saying that someone was framing me. I was almost pissed off," said Shen Xiuting.

"It will be fine in a few days. In the end, it's not your fault. You're too flamboyant, Mom. You'd better be quiet for a while. I just dispelled Yu Xiaowan's suspicion of you. If you continue to flamboyant, I'm afraid she'll find a way to pry your mouth open again one day."

"I know, I know. I'll stay at home for the time being. But speaking of which, that bitch Yu Xiaowan is really lucky to have such a good father-in-law."

"Humph, what's with all the luck? I heard from Minwei that she's going to divorce Jiang Ruohe in a few days."

"However, that Jiang Nianhao is really good. Although he is in his forties, he is very charming. And the way he looked at me, I think he has some feelings for me."

"Really?" Shen Xiuting asked Tian Rong happily.

"The Jiang family is quite wealthy. Since he is interested in you, you should quickly invite him to dinner and have a drink together. Then..." Shen Xiuting said with a laugh.

"He's indeed quite rich. I heard that he and his wife have been separated for many years, and his wife has been transferred to the African branch. By then..."

"But I can't be impatient. If he's really interested in me, I can't let him get me easily. When dealing with a man, you can't satisfy him easily. You have to make him want more."

"Mom, I'll first get to know Jiang Nianhao's living habits. Then, we can have a few chance encounters and slowly develop feelings for each other. If I just deliver myself to his door, he will quickly lose interest in me. I want to make long-term plans." Tian Rong said with some confidence.

I have to say, Tian Rong's plan was brilliant. She's already moved on to Jiang Nianhao so quickly. But I think Jiang Nianhao does have some interest in her. If they really get together...

"Xiao Rong, if you go with Jiang Nianhao, what will happen to Mr. Shao?" Shen Xiuting asked.

"Oh, don't mention it. I don't know how many signals I've sent to Shao Han about that. Last time, I was drunk and he sent me to the hotel. I took advantage of my drunkenness and hooked my arm around his neck, but he was like a piece of wood, didn't understand what I meant, and pushed me away. He just walked away like that. Any man with some charm would definitely hug me and have a passionate sex with me, but he... I get angry every time I think about it."

"I've been chasing him for so long, but there's been no progress. It seems there's no hope. But Jiang Nianhao, I'm confident enough to take him down." Tian Rong chuckled.

I sneered, took off the earphones from my ears, and looked at myself in the mirror.

Tian Rong, Tian Rong, you do have enough ability to defeat Jiang Nianhao, but you don’t have the ability to defeat Wang Yingzhi.

I know Wang Yingzhi's personality very well. She would rather destroy what she can't get. Then there will be a lot of good shows to watch.

Coming back to my senses, I looked at the empty house and realized that Jiang Ruohe had not returned for three days.

Yu Xiaowan, what's wrong with you? You didn't miss that guy when he disappeared for half a month. Why are you suddenly missing him now?

I sighed and stopped thinking too much about it. I was going to get divorced in a few days anyway.

I climbed onto the bed and fell asleep, but I couldn't sleep again. In the middle of the night, I turned on the light, took a cup of water and went downstairs, wanting to pour myself a glass of milk to help me sleep.

When I reached the stairs to the second floor, I saw Jiang Nianhao talking on the phone in the corridor in the middle of the night.

"My dear, I miss you too, but I can't go back to North City now. My dad asked my sister to go to North City."

"You're coming to South City? No way, I'm living in the Jiang family's old house now. If my dad knew you were coming, he would not only scold me to death, but also take away my shares. My sister's shares were taken away by my dad, and he asked her to go to North City. He said he would return them to her if the branch's turnover didn't decline in three years."

"How about this? I'll go to North City to see you twice a month. Don't worry, I'll transfer money to your card on time. But, little darling, don't do anything to let me down. Otherwise, you know my methods."

"Yeah, I'm glad to know. It's almost two o'clock. I'm going to bed. Good night."

I waited until Jiang Nianhao entered the room and closed the door before I went downstairs.

I poured myself a glass of milk from the kitchen and drank it while sitting on the sofa. After finishing the milk, I looked at the alarm clock on the wall. It was already 2:30 in the morning.

I got up and prepared to go upstairs to sleep. At this moment, I heard the sound of a key turning in the door. I was stunned and looked at the door vigilantly. When the door opened, I saw Jiang Mingzhe's worried face. Behind Jiang Mingzhe were several policemen, one of whom was Yan Yun.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" I hurried over.

Jiang Mingzhe looked at me and wiped the tears from his face.

"Xiao Wan, Ruohe, Ruohe is in Qingcheng and has been kidnapped."

I looked at Jiang Mingzhe in disbelief and asked if it was a scammer who called him. Maybe Jiang Ruohe was okay.

Jiang Mingzhe shook his head, took out his mobile phone and said that the kidnapper had sent him a short video. When I saw the photo, my heart ached.

I saw Jiang Ruohe being hung up, and several men wearing stockings were whipping Jiang Ruohe with whips. Jiang Ruohe was covered in blood.

"how so?"

After helping Jiang Mingzhe onto the sofa, Jiang Mingzhe said that the kidnappers called him at 6:30 p.m., asking him not to call the police and demanding a ransom of 100 million yuan.

Jiang Mingzhe has been raising money for the past few hours.

"This 100 million in cash is really not a small amount of money. It will make Jiang's cash flow difficult. But I am more worried about Ruohe. I am afraid that the kidnappers will break their promise and kill the hostages after getting the money. At least calling the police will give me some protection."

"I promised the kidnappers that I wouldn't call the police. I also said I would raise money as soon as possible and have Nian Hao send it to them, but they made another request."

Jiang Nianhao turned and looked at me.

"The kidnappers asked you to pay the ransom."
