Lin Feiran's expression suddenly changed.
She said sternly, "Don't touch Yuanyuan. He has severe leukemia and can't stand any hardship. As long as he's fine, we can negotiate if you want money."
The other party looked very easy to talk to: "No problem, we promise to take good care of Yuanyuan. The money we ask for is not much, only 2 billion. For Mr. Chu, it's a piece of cake, right?"
Lin Feiran glanced at Chu Yu beside her.
At this moment, she felt a sense of uncertainty in her heart.
She was not very clear about Chu Yu's net worth, but as far as she knew, although many super-rich people claimed to have billions of dollars in assets, they were all in the form of industries. There were actually not many people who could immediately take out tens of billions of cash.
Besides, would Chu Yu be willing to spend so much money for Yuanyuan, who is not his biological child?
Chu Yu looked calm as he took the phone from Lin Feiran.
"I do have 2 billion. As long as you ensure that Yuan Yuan returns to me safely, I can give you the money."
The other party clapped his hands and said, "Boss Chu is really generous! So straightforward! So, let's put it this way. We want the gold for the 2 billion. We need it ready before midnight tonight. Is that okay?"
Chu Yu frowned and said, "Gold? We can't possibly gather that much tonight. It's fine if you want RMB cash, but how can we exchange it for gold in such a short time? Do you know how much gold reserves a bank has?"
The other party thought about it and seemed to agree: "Then before midnight tomorrow night, no later! When you are ready, I will tell you where to send it."
As he spoke, he added a warning: "Don't play tricks, Mr. Chu should understand, right? ... Your child is so weak, if he gets frightened or something, we can't guarantee that he will be fine."
Chu Yu agreed and the other party hung up the phone.
Chu Yu immediately called Qiao Sen and asked him to prepare 2 billion worth of gold.
After finishing the call, he raised his eyes and saw Lin Feiran looking at him with shocked eyes.
"You really..."
Chu Yu: "Of course we have to be really prepared. If we can use the money, we can really get Yuanyuan back safely. This is the most ideal situation. It's not that the money can't be recovered afterwards. Talent comes first."
Lin Feiran felt a lump in her nose and her eyes felt a little hot.
Chu Yu didn't hesitate at all, and she was actually doubting whether he would spend so much money for Yuan Yuan...
As soon as Chu Yu saw Lin Feiran's expression, he knew what she was thinking and knocked her on the head.
The knock was very heavy, not polite at all.
"What do you think of me? I said I would treat Yuanyuan as my own child. Isn't it natural for me to do these things for my own child?"
Lin Feiran covered her head and nodded quickly.
Chu Yu snorted: "I'll put this on your record first. If you don't trust me again in the future, I'll double the punishment."
At this time, they saw Wei Ze'an walking towards them.
Wei Ze'an looked worried and asked with concern: "What's going on? Is it the call from the people who kidnapped Yuanyuan? What do they want?"
Chu Yu said: "It requires money, a lot of money."
Wei Zean took the initiative to ask: "How much do you want? Otherwise, I will also contribute a part. Although my family property is definitely a drop in the bucket compared to yours, Mr. Chu, I also want to do my best..."
Chu Yu said with a half-smile, "They want 2 billion in gold, and it needs to be ready before midnight tomorrow night. Mr. Wei will just contribute a small portion, 100 million, is that okay?"
Wei Zean's expression froze for a moment, and he said awkwardly: "Well... I can't come up with so much cash at once, it may take a few days..."
Chu Yu glanced at him and said, "That's not necessary. The daylily will be cold in a few days."
Wei Ze'an lowered his head, looking very depressed and uncomfortable, and slowly walked away.
Lin Feiran was watching from the side and thought that Chu Yu was blaming Wei Ze'an for losing Yuanyuan, so he was so angry with him, but she didn't dare to persuade him.
Chu Yu took in Lin Feiran's expression, sighed, and said to her, "Come here."
He took Lin Feiran to a deserted place and made another phone call.
"Immediately find a hacker to break into Wei Ze'an's phone and monitor all his external communications."
Lin Feiran's expression suddenly changed.
"You... suspect Wei Ze'an?"
Chu Yu nodded: "Didn't you find something suspicious in the call from the kidnapper just now? He called me by the nickname Yuanyuan."
Lin Feiran understood immediately, and reacted as if a flash of lightning flashed through her mind.
Yuanyuan's full name is Lin Qingyuan, and Yuanyuan is his nickname. She and her relatives and friends all call her by this nickname.
The medical staff in the hospital usually call Yuanyuan by her full name due to professional habit. Only a few nurses who are very familiar with Yuanyuan will call her by her nickname.
The kidnappers called Yuanyuan by her nickname. Where did they hear this nickname?
When asked what Yuanyuan's name is, he would definitely not say his more intimate nickname when facing a group of strangers who obviously have bad intentions, but would only say his full name.
This means that among the people who kidnapped Yuanyuan, there must be someone who knew Yuanyuan's nickname and usually called her by that nickname, so when he introduced the child to other kidnappers, he said that the child was called Yuanyuan.
After eliminating all the people who meet this requirement, the most likely person is Wei Ze'an.
When Lin Feiran thought of this, she suddenly felt a terrifying feeling.
They have not been wary of Wei Ze'an recently, but that is because Wei Ze'an has always performed well, and they don't actually have a very deep understanding of Wei Ze'an's background.
