Second courtyard
Han Songyan's health has improved a lot.
When she woke up, her limbs were numb. It wasn't until the next day that Bai Kangyan helped her out of bed.
Although I am still a little weak, I can walk normally now.
If the weather is sunny at noon, Bai Kangyan will push her around in the park near the hospital for a walk. The busy couple seems to have returned to their younger days.
They have endless topics to talk about and plenty of time to spend with each other.
"Is there anything you'd like to eat today? I'll have Aunt Zhang bring it over for you."
"I want to eat the steamed pork with rice flour that Aunt Zhang makes."
Bai Kangyan has dismissed the nanny from Longxi Garden, and now Zhang Sao from the old house brings meals to them every day.
This was the old man's instruction. Aunt Zhang's cooking was delicious, and Han Songyan's complexion had become much rosier these past few days.
Han Songyan felt very awkward when Aunt Zhang brought the food at first.
She was the one who drove Zhang Sao away and said many hurtful things.
Now, Aunt Zhang doesn't hold a grudge and cooks different meals for her every day. Her opinion of Aunt Zhang has completely changed, and she feels only gratitude now.
She had always trusted Bai Xiruo; if she said someone was bad, she, as their mother, would believe her without question.
Including Qianmo, her own biological daughter.
Because Bai Xiruo stirred up trouble, she completely sided with Bai Xiruo and did stupid things without thinking time and time again.
Bai Kangyan failed to notice Han Songyan's guilty feelings at that moment.
He smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll call Aunt Zhang right away."
Bai Kangyan took his phone to the side to make a call, while Han Songyan, sitting in her wheelchair, was staring blankly at a lake not far away when a dark shadow suddenly flashed past.
Before Han Songyan could react, a fragrant aroma wafted over.
Soon, she felt her body go weak and sore, and by the time she realized the danger, her consciousness had completely dissipated.
Everything went black, and he fainted.
After finishing his phone call, Bai Kangyan turned and walked towards the lake.
Upon discovering that Han Songyan was not in the same spot, they looked around but could not find her anywhere.
His heart tightened immediately, and he dialed Han Songyan's number, but the call was disconnected after only two rings.
Realizing something was wrong, Bai Kangyan turned around and ran quickly towards the ward. When he arrived, the ward was still empty.
When asked, the nurse on duty also said she hadn't seen Han Songyan return.
At this moment, Bai Kangyan suddenly panicked.
He forced himself to calm down, contacted the hospital's monitoring room, and found the surveillance video of them by the lake.
As he read on, Bai Kangyan's face turned terribly grim.
Just as he walked aside to make a phone call, the surveillance video showed a man brazenly walking up behind Han Songyan and pushing her away, wheelchair and all.
What's terrifying is that he was only a dozen meters away from his wife at that moment, yet he was completely unaware of her presence.
"Judging from the surveillance footage, Mrs. Bai seemed to be not fully conscious at the time and showed no signs of resistance."
"You can tell the other person is a man, about 180 cm tall, with a slender build. His face is covered by a mask and hat, so you can't tell his appearance or age."
"Mr. Bai, I suggest you call the police immediately."
Bai Kangyan seemed somewhat hesitant.
"What if they kidnapped my wife for money? Would calling the police provoke these criminals?"
Bai Luoyu rushed to the hospital after receiving the news: "Dad, what happened to Mom?"
Bai Kangyan looked at Bai Luoyu in silence, his face full of exhaustion.
"Your mother has been kidnapped."
Bai Luoyu stared in astonishment, his eyes widening as he looked at the surveillance video.
The video replayed the entire process of Han Songyan's kidnapping.
"How could this happen? Which bastard did this?"
Bai Kangyan slumped weakly into a chair, covering his face with his hands, his voice choked with sobs.
Just then, my phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated.
Bai Kangyan was stunned for a moment, then immediately took out his phone.
The phone screen displayed an unfamiliar number.
"Hello?" Bai Kangyan tried his best to suppress his panic and spoke calmly.
A hissing sound came from the other end of the phone, and after a while, a man's hoarse, deep voice came through.
"Mr. Bai, I'm here to discuss cooperation with you."
"You kidnapped my wife, didn't you? What exactly do you want?"
"Hehe, I heard that Mr. Bai loves your wife very much. I just don't know what Mrs. Bai is worth in Mr. Bai's heart."
Bai Kangyan could no longer contain the anger in his chest.
"I'm warning you, if you have a problem, come at me. Don't bully a woman."
"Since Mr. Bai is so agreeable, then I'll get straight to the point. If you want Mrs. Bai back by your side, then exchange her for Mr. Bai's shares in Bai's Enterprise."
Bai Kangyan was deeply shocked.
He guessed that the other party was after money, but he didn't expect the other party to have such a big appetite.
"Want my shares? Hah, can you even stomach that?"
The other party chuckled twice: "Whether I can eat or not is none of Mr. Bai's concern. I guess Mr. Bai is thinking of calling the police now, right? Hehe, let me give you a friendly reminder: if you dare to call the police, I will receive the message immediately, and it will be hard to say whether you will still be able to see Mrs. Bai then."
Bai Kangyan's face was ashen, and his fists were clenched tightly.
After a long silence, he finally spoke: "I currently only own 13 percent of Bai's shares. Even if I give them to you, you won't get the Bai Group."
"Hehe, you have thirteen percent, and your three children each own ten percent of the shares, right?"
Bai Kangyan gasped.
It seems the other party came prepared and had already thoroughly investigated the Bai family's situation.
"I can't make the decision about the shares that have already been given to my children."
"Mr. Bai, when children learn that their mother is in danger, will they choose the shares or their mother? This is indeed a very interesting choice. I look forward to seeing your decision, hehehehe..."
A chilling laugh came from the other end of the phone.
Standing to the side, Bai Luoyu watched as Bai Kangyan's expression grew increasingly grave.
After hanging up the phone, Bai Luoyu asked anxiously.
"So, what did the kidnappers say?"
From the faint sounds in the phone call, I could tell that the other party was after Baijia Shares.
