"What happened?"
Bai Lan was collapsing, but she didn't know that Sode behind her had a confused look on his face, as if he didn't know what was going on.
Bai Lan turned his head, his facial expression changing unpredictably.
After a while, Sode realized something was wrong, quickly snatched the phone, and then glared at Bai Lan coldly.
Just look at the photo, Xiaotian was tied up.
The man behind me is very oppressive.
Not to mention a child, even if I were there, I would definitely not be able to withstand the threat from these two people.
"What's going on?"
Thord's question rang in his ears.
Bai Lan didn't say anything, she was so frightened by the photo that she couldn't utter a word.
"Bai Lan, I want to ask you what's going on."
No one responded to Thord's question at this moment.
Bai Lan didn't even know how to answer.
Xu Zhixu beside him also took the phone, his eyes flickering as he watched Bai Lan's every move.
"This is... your child?"
Under Xu Zhixu's questioning, Bai Lan finally showed some reaction.
The woman nodded and looked at Xu Zhixu helplessly.
Xu Zhixu beside him took a deep breath and asked cautiously, "Where was the child before? Could it be that he was in Gu Jiju's hands?"
That's what should be done.
Bai Lan didn't respond, but was wondering what was going on.
The child is in Gu Jiju's villa, but based on Gu Jiju's character, a man would never make things difficult for the child.
Now Xiaotian has been kidnapped. Was it because of Gu Jiju’s threat, or was he taken away by someone else?
Bai Lan doesn't know.
Sode became more and more nervous. Seeing that Bai Lan didn't respond to him for a long time, Sode wanted to slap him.
But because Xu Zhixu was still around, Sode could only pinch Bai Lan's shoulders, holding her tightly and asking, "Where is Xiaotian now?"
Bai Lan pushed the other person's hand away impatiently.
The tone of confrontation was very obvious.
"How should I know? I just received this photo. If you ask me, I'd rather ask someone else."
Sode took a deep breath and became more and more annoyed with Bai Lan's attitude.
Xu Zhixu, who was driving the car, couldn't help but glare at the other party, as if to warn him.
"Calm down, don't start a fight right away until we understand the situation clearly."
"I don't want to start an internal conflict, but Xiaotian is still a child. Now something has suddenly happened. How can I not be anxious?"
Soder appears to not care about the child, but in fact he cares a lot.
After all, this is his only son.
It is also the child of Bai Lan.
No matter what, Soder would not give up on the other party.
Thinking of this, Sode continued to hold Bai Lan's wrist, and his alert expression kept scanning Bai Lan's body.
Only after making sure Bai Lan was in a normal mood did Sode say, "Give me the phone. I'll ask him who he is."
Although Bai Lan was not very willing, there seemed to be no other way except this.
The phone was stuffed into Soder's arms.
The man stared at the photo coldly, as if in a trance.
After a while, the man asked again, "Are you sure you can leave it to me?"
Bai Lan's mind was full of Xiaotian's figure, and at this moment she was too lazy to respond to Sode's question.
But looking at Sode's burning gaze, Bai Lan said helplessly, "What else can I do? If not you, who else can I give it to? You are Xiaotian's father. Do you think you can ask me to find someone else?"
"Also, look at these two people next to Xiaotian. Can I beat them? What will Xiaotian do if you don't show up?"
The car started and Xu Zhixu took the two to a temporarily safe place.
Soder in the back seat was still studying the position in the photo.
The photo is too blurry.
The three characters in the picture are almost filling up the frame.
As for the background behind him, Soder could only see a little.
"It seems like it's in a factory."
"factory?"
After Sode finished speaking, Bai Lan's eyes instantly became alert.
"Is there a factory nearby?"
Sode was not very familiar with this city, but Xu Zhixu gave a firm answer.
“There are a lot of them in the suburbs, especially large factories, which are all near the suburbs.”
"Could it be that Xiaotian was taken to the suburbs?"
There are fewer roads, fewer people and more space over there.
If this is true, it would be really difficult to search for Bai Lan and the other three.
But before Sode and Bai Lan could make a decision, Xu Zhixu had already stepped on the accelerator and rushed out.
The car accelerated, with a sense of urgency.
"Why are you driving so fast?"
"Of course we're going to the suburbs to check out the situation. But, don't you plan to contact the kidnappers first? In this case, the reason they texted you is most likely to warn you and ask you to pay ransom."
Xu Zhixu said it very bluntly.
He didn't even give them a chance to think.
"You two aren't broke, so it should be easy to redeem someone with money, right?"
Bai Lan was silent for a while before giving his own answer.
"I'm just afraid... things aren't that simple, and I'm also afraid the other party's intentions aren't what they want."
Xu Zhixu remained calm and didn't even look back at Bai Lan.
"You don't have to worry about that. You just need to know that as long as it can be resolved smoothly, it's fine. The location in the photo is rarely recognizable, but I still advise you to contact the kidnappers, at least to know Xiaotian's situation."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Lan's phone suddenly vibrated.
The phone is still in Soder's hand at this moment.
The man shuddered subconsciously, then immediately stuffed the phone into Bai Lan's hand.
"Who is it?"
Bai Lan did not respond, but answered the call carefully with a nervous heart.
The voice on the other end was low, but Bai Lan felt a little scared.
"It seems like you don't care about the child at all. I've already sent you the photos, but I haven't received a call from you in ten minutes. Bai Lan, you're really patient."
The phone was on speakerphone.
After the other party finished speaking, Suode and Xu Zhixu fell silent.
This person knew Bai Lan's name and also knew his purpose clearly.
He just wanted Bai Lan to answer the phone and communicate with Bai Lan in person.
In an instant, Bai Lan suddenly became nervous.
He was even more afraid that the person in front of him was his former enemy.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
The man suddenly laughed out loud, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
"What do I mean? Don't you know clearly? I've already sent you the photos. What do you think I mean?"
"Also, since you knew Xiaotian was kidnapped, why didn't you come over? It seems like you don't care about Xiaotian?"
Bai Lan was a little confused by the question.
At the same time, the woman's eyes flickered and she was unable to respond to the other party.
"I……"
"How about this? I'll give you a deadline. Get to the scene within ten minutes. We can discuss anything face to face, and..."
Having said this, the man was silent for a while.
Sode and Xu Zhixu were at a loss for a moment.
"Also, you can't bring anyone else with you. I need to talk to you alone about something."
