"What happened yesterday is my fault. I will make it up to you two in the future."
Bai Lan looked at Sode's empty promises and felt very disappointed with him. She wanted to escape from him even more.
But if I annoy Soder now, I don’t know what Soder will do.
Afterwards, Bai Lan packed up simply and the two of them divided the suitcases into two groups.
Fortunately, I didn’t meet the neighbor today, otherwise I would have been questioned by him.
It was obvious that the fewer people they met, the safer it would be for both of them.
As a result, just as the two were about to start the car, Bai Lan suddenly received a call from Xu Zhixu.
Xu Zhixu came over early in the morning to inquire about the project's progress: "How's it going now?"
Bai Lan hesitated, but she definitely couldn't let Xu Zhixu know that she had been cheated. Otherwise, Xu Zhixu would call the police directly, and the two of them would have no chance to rescue Xiaotian.
The two people's desire to go abroad and escape the law was shattered.
So Bai Lan continued to deceive: "Everything is going well. I should be able to transfer all the funds to you in two days."
"The project manager said that this time the profit is expected to double compared to before."
Xu Zhixu was immediately delighted when he heard this. If he calculated it this way, he might be able to get more than 30 million...
Xu Zhixu said happily, "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."
Afterwards, Xu Zhixu simply revealed the truth to Bai Lan: "By the way, after this project is over, I will not participate again."
Sode next to him snorted coldly. Even if Xu Zhixu wanted to participate in the future, he would not have the opportunity.
Bai Lan naturally couldn't act like Soder, so she pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Why? Isn't it very profitable?"
Xu Zhixu knocked on the table and said, "I want to do some serious work."
Bai Lan then continued to persuade him, "Then it would be okay to invest a little money here, right?"
"Are you really not going to participate in the project?"
Xu Zhixu continued to refuse: "Yes, I want to stabilize myself. After all, these are all risks."
"I think that after you rescue your child, you should stop participating in this matter."
"Everyone is calm and steady..."
Bai Lan lowered his eyes and then said, "Okay, then I won't force you to stay or go."
Finally, Bai Lan thanked him: "But I will still participate in the project for a while. After all, I also took 20% of your profits before."
"You will definitely have to pay it back in the future. If you don't go through this project, I really can't give you that much money."
After Bai Lan said this, Xu Zhixu found it difficult to refuse. After all, Xu Zhixu was not a generous person.
Although that 20% was only a few hundred thousand, Xu Zhixu was the kind of person who would not even give away a tiny amount.
Naturally, he didn't want to let go of such a large sum of money, so Xu Zhixu smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, then I wish you success. I'm going to hang up now and go to the company."
After Bai Lan nodded, the two hung up the phone. On the other side, Sode officially started the car, and the two headed towards their destination.
About an hour later, Sode and Bai Lan arrived at the edge of the agreed location.
According to that person, the two of them couldn't drive over there, so they had to walk...
Bai Lan was a little nervous. After all, the other party had more people and more power. Would they take the money and kidnap Xiaotian again?
No one can say for sure.
Bai Lan asked in a daze, "Are they sure that if I give them the money, they will return Xiaotian to me completely?"
This was the third time that Thord had heard Bai Lan ask this question. He said impatiently, "What can't you give me?"
"What's the point of keeping a little brat?"
Bai Lan listened to what Soder said. Although she knew that Soder's words were not nice, she still felt relieved.
After the two men pushed the suitcase down, they called the contact person.
"Hello, are you here yet?" said Thord.
But the person on the other end of the phone was obviously trying to tease Thord: "Oh, I forgot, today is the day to release people."
"You haven't arrived yet?"
When Soder heard the other party's deliberate look, he knew that the other party was deliberately not coming to waste their time.
But Sode has no other choice now, after all, Xiaotian is still in their hands.
Even if Thord felt unwilling, he could only swallow his anger and ask, "When can you come over?"
There was a commotion over there, seemingly the sound of Mahjong players playing. "And I'm still in the process of getting ready, you guys just wait."
"I'll go there when I'm free."
Sode continued to begrudgingly say, "Can we come now? We have already booked our tickets. If we are any later we won't be able to catch the party."
From the other end of the line came the sound of a lighter, and then the other party seemed to take a puff of a cigarette: "Seriously, have you guys raised the 50 million?"
"How could you have gotten it in such a short time? You wouldn't come here to blast the child with empty words, would you?"
Thord said indifferently: "If you come and take a look, you will know."
The person on the other end of the phone continued, "Oh, I already said, I can't leave now, so let's wait another two hours."
Two hours... Sode counted to himself that after two hours, the plane would take off, and they would need to book another ticket then.
The nearest flight today is at 11 a.m., and the next flight is only at 4 p.m.
If something unexpected happens...
Although it took so long, Soder seemed to be confident.
But in fact, Sode was also a little unsure.
Now the other party insists on wasting time like this.
Soder became even more impatient.
Thord said, "If not, come now."
The person on the other end of the phone snorted coldly, then said, "The child is with me, and you are begging me to return the child to you."
"I'll arrive at the time I said I would."
After hearing this, Sode could no longer bear it and said, "Then you can have the child. We don't want it. This 50 million is more than enough to have several children."
With that, Soder hung up the phone.
Bai Lan, who was standing next to him, widened her eyes when she heard Soder say this, and then quickly grabbed Soder's phone: "What are you doing?"
"How can you talk like that? We've worked so hard for so long, haven't we, just for the children?"
Thord said sarcastically, "For the children?"
Thord took a deep breath and then continued: "But you know,
If we continue to waste time with him, the people at the bank will find out that we have suddenly withdrawn so much money."
"What will be the consequences?"
