The two were getting closer and closer to Zhang Jiahao, and when there were only two meters left, they were suddenly stopped.

Zhang Jiahao pointed the iron rod at them and said, "Just stand there, put the cash box on the ground, and open it for me to see."

Shi Nian did as he was told and opened the cash box. After a few seconds, he slammed it shut. "I have prepared the money you asked for. Where is Chenchen?"

Chenchen heard the call and cried, "Aunt, I'm here! Mom! Mom..."

Shi Wei’s heart was about to break, and she was about to step forward.

Zhang Jiahao hit the car with a stick and shouted, "You little bastard, shut up!"

Chenchen sobbed, not daring to make a sound, and sobbed quietly.

Shi Wei's heart ached, "Zhang Jiahao, you are crazy!"

Zhang Jiahao pointed the stick at her, "Stand still! Did I tell you to move?"

He sneered, "Yes, I am crazy! I just can't understand why someone would want a slut like you! Let me ask you, when did you and Zheng Hai get together? He is actually willing to pay one million for you!"

He regretted it and said sarcastically, "If I had known his seed was so valuable, I should have asked you for 10 million!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Chenchen is your child!"

Shi Wei stared at him with bloodshot eyes, "I would rather you weren't his father now! Have you ever taken on the responsibility of being a father since she was little?"

Shi Nian held Shi Wei's hand and squeezed her palm soothingly.

Shi Wei's body couldn't stop shaking because of anger.

Shi Nian came forward with the cash box and was warned by Zhang Jiahao again.

"I told you to stand still! Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

Zhang Jiahao's eyes widened and he became angry, hitting the car door with a stick.

The loud bangs were particularly harsh in the quiet woods, and the car windows shattered all over the ground. Shi Nian was startled and stopped in his tracks.

She thought of what Feng Sihan had asked her, and said with anger, "Don't you want money? I've already got the money. You return Chenchen to us, and we'll separate now. No one will get in anyone's way!"

Zhang Jiahao gasped for air, his facial expression twitching, "Okay, now put the cash box on the ground and kick it over."

Shi Nian frowned, "I gave you the money first, and you went back on your word and didn't return Chenchen to us. What should we do? You take her down and return Chenchen to us first, and then I will give you the money."

"You are full of evil intentions. I gave Chenchen to you and you ran away with her right after I gave her to you!"

Shi Nian met his vigilant gaze and pulled the corner of her lip, "We are now in the suburbs, there are no cars or people nearby. If I don't give you money and you bring a little one with you, where can my sister and I go?"

Zhang Jiahao looked around. It was quiet and there were only a few of them.

Shi Nian urged, "Why are you being so fussy? If you delay any longer, my husband will be back soon. If he can't find me, he will definitely call and ask!"

Zhang Jiahao suddenly laughed creepily.

He laughed a few times and then started to roar again, "Tell me! Have you called the police? Are the police hiding in the dark?!"

Shi Nian said patiently, "Do you think if the police come, they will still tolerate you shouting and blackmailing us? Are there any Tibetans nearby? See for yourself!"

She paused, then continued, "If you don't believe me, just go and check it yourself! Can you please stop wasting time? My sister and I just want to take Chenchen home as soon as possible!"

Zhang Jiahao took a tentative step forward, then retreated back to the car, "Give me the money first!"

Shi Nian saw through his thoughts at a glance, stared into his bloodshot eyes, and said word by word, "Impossible."

The two sides were in a stalemate and the atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

Zhang Jiahao's body was shaking unconsciously, and he was walking back and forth on the spot.

Shi Wei was anxious and asked in a low voice, "Niannian, what should we do now? Otherwise, we just rush over, I'll hold Zhang Jiahao back, and you hold Chenchen tightly and leave..."

Zhang Jiahao raised his voice, "What are you whispering about!"

Shi Nian shook her head slightly, signaling her with her eyes not to be impulsive and to trust Feng Sihan.

She did not avoid Zhang Jiahao's gaze at all, and before she could say anything, the phone rang suddenly.

Zhang Jiahao panicked. He clamped Chenchen's arm and dragged her out of the car. He threw away the stick, took out a dagger from his pocket and put it across her neck.

His voice was sharp. "Who's calling? Answer the phone right now and turn on the loud speaker so I can hear you! If you dare to talk nonsense, I'll kill this little beast!"

Shi Wei was so anxious that she burst into tears. She tried to comfort him in a trembling voice, "Don't be afraid, Chenchen. Mom is here, Mom is here..."

Shi Nian gritted her teeth and answered the call, turning on the speaker, "Hello? Husband, what's wrong?"

"Nian Nian, where are you now? When will you come home?"

When Zhang Jiahao heard Feng Sihan's voice, his expression changed slightly.

He glared at Shi Nian fiercely, and exerted a little force with his hands. Chenchen's delicate neck was immediately broken and blood flowed.

"I'm outside right now... with friends."

"Do you need me to pick you up?"

Shi Nian noticed Zhang Jiahao's actions, his palms were sweating, and his heart was beating fast.

Why did Feng Sihan call her suddenly?

He asked her if she needed someone to pick her up... the subtext was to ask her if she needed help?

Shi Nian's brain was spinning rapidly and his breathing became more rapid.

Feng Sihan hid in the dark, staring at several figures dozens of meters away.

"Nian Nian, speak."

"Not for now...I'll call you if I need anything."

Shi Nian paused, then said, "My friend is still waiting for me, I'll hang up first."

She hung up the phone and flipped the screen to show it to Zhang Jiahao.

"I haven't told my husband about you. He's at home now, but if you delay any longer, he'll get suspicious."

Shi Nian was very cautious, fearing that she might say the wrong thing, anger Zhang Jiahao, and hurt Chenchen.

Chenchen was terrified, his face pale, he stood stiffly in place, his face dirty, he looked at her with tearful eyes.

Shi Nian took a deep breath and put the cash box on the ground. "Zhang Jiahao, calm down first. Think about it. What good will it do you if you make a big fuss? You take the money, drive away, and run to a place where no one knows you. Then you can start your life over again! If you insist on going all out, what awaits you is legal sanctions!"

Zhang Jiahao was shaken, and noticing her movements, he said sternly, "Bring the cash box over here and come in front of me."

Shi Wei was worried, "Nian Nian..."

Shi Nian immediately did as he was told, slowly approached him, and said, "Zhang Jiahao, do you know? In the past, I always treated you as a good brother-in-law..."

Zhang Jiahao was unhappy, "Don't say that bullshit!"

"Okay, I won't tell you."

Shi Nian showed goodwill and handed the cash box to him, "I'll give you the money, you put down the dagger, push Chenchen to me, and I'll count down to three..."

Zhang Jiahao had a sinister look on his face and reached out to grab her cash box. "Who's counting with you? Give me the money!"

Shi Nian threw the money box with great force, smashing it behind him. When he was not prepared, he pulled open his arm that was holding the dagger, pulled Chenchen away from him, and pushed him behind him.
