Zhang Cuiyan felt a buzzing in her head and a sudden dizziness. She hurriedly reached out to hold onto the wall and barely managed to keep her balance.
It felt like my heart had been stabbed several times by a sharp blade.
How could she be so stupid? Twenty million! A whole twenty million just vanished like that?
The key issue is that Xi Ruo wasn't rescued. How will she explain it when Xin Rou asks about the money?
This way
Bai Xinrou and Bai Lao went to the nearby park square together.
Many elderly people had already gathered nearby, and several old men were standing in front of a table, bending over and holding pens to practice writing.
Upon seeing Mr. Bai approaching, some familiar elderly people warmly greeted him.
"Old Bai, we were just saying that you would definitely come. We'll play a game later, and the winner will get a prize."
"Old Bai is a calligrapher. If he participates in this senior citizens' calligraphy competition, what chance do we have? Old Bai, you should give us the opportunity, hahaha."
Old Bai chuckled and glanced around.
At this moment, the old men seemed to notice Bai Xinrou.
"You must be Lao Bai's granddaughter, right? I've often seen you accompanying Lao Bai for walks in the park lately."
Bai Xinrou smiled, her vanity at play, and she didn't explain her identity to the other party.
"It's really rare. Nowadays, very few young people spend time with their elderly parents. I only see my grandchildren a few times a year. Old Bai, you are truly blessed."
The elderly people showered Bai Xinrou with praise, but Bai didn't offer any explanation.
At this moment, everyone around her turned to look at her, and two elderly women even came up to ask her if she had a boyfriend.
Bai Xinrou felt that her opportunity had come, so she deliberately chatted with a few old ladies.
Seeing that Mr. Bai was engrossed in the couplet competition, she quietly left the square at the opportune moment.
After leaving the park, I took out my phone and made a call.
"The person has been delivered, Miss Mei. My mission is complete. Can you leave now?"
The other party chuckled twice: "Don't worry, Mr. Feng is a man of his word. A sum of money will be deposited into your account shortly. Remember to check it!"
Bai Xinrou felt a huge weight lifted from her heart. After hanging up the phone, she immediately called Zhang Cuiyan again.
After confirming the other party's location, they hailed a taxi on the roadside, got in, and drove away quickly.
Old Bai watched the match intently for a while before realizing that Bai Xinrou wasn't beside him.
After asking around, someone said they saw Bai Xinrou walking towards the park exit.
Old Bai also walked in the direction Bai Xinrou had left. Just as he stepped out of the park, a car slowly drove towards him.
The car pulled up beside him and the door opened. Several men in suits and ties quickly got out.
Before Bai Lao could react, someone grabbed a handkerchief and covered Bai Lao's mouth and nose from behind.
A strong wave of dizziness hit him, and without struggling, Old Bai was carried back to the car.
After the group of well-trained people boarded the car, it sped away.
*
The Bai family quickly discovered that Old Master Bai was missing.
Xu Hualan said, "I just went to Bai Xinrou's room to check and found that she took all her things with her."
Bai Kangcheng asked worriedly, "What exactly does Bai Xinrou want to do by taking the old man away?"
Bai Yitang's face was full of anger: "I told you long ago that we should be wary of this mother and daughter. Now that they have taken Grandpa away, they must be trying to extort money from the Bai family."
Bai Kangyan, Han Songyan, and Bai Luoyu rushed over after hearing the news.
"How is it? Any news about Dad?"
“His phone was off. Someone saw him and Bai Xinrou in a nearby square. They said Dad watched the couplet competition for a while and then left,” Bai Kangcheng explained.
Bai Kangyan frowned deeply: "This mother and daughter are really too insidious. What exactly are they trying to do?"
Bai Luoyu walked to Bai Qianmo's side: "Qianmo, what are your thoughts?"
Bai Qianmo slowly raised her head and looked at Bai Luoyu, whose expression was solemn.
"Wait for the call!"
"Yes, wait for the call. Bai Xinrou kidnapped the old man, she must be trying to extort money from him, she will definitely call."
Bai Qianmo didn't explain anything, her eyes fixed on her phone.
In a dilapidated neighborhood not far from the Bai family's old house.
On the third floor of a building, Old Bai felt a cool sensation on the tip of his nose, and his consciousness gradually returned.
He opened his eyes and found several people standing around him, the leader of whom was a woman.
The other person was wearing sunglasses and a mask, deliberately obscuring their face.
The woman glanced at Old Bai with a haughty expression and tossed a cell phone in front of him.
"Old man, call your granddaughter."
"Who are you people? Why have you kidnapped me?"
"Hehe, as long as you make a phone call to your granddaughter, she'll soon find out who we are."
What if I don't fight?
"Not going to fight? Aren't you afraid of dying?"
Old Bai snorted coldly: "At my age, I've long since come to terms with life and death. If you want to use my life to threaten my granddaughter, let me tell you, you've miscalculated. I will absolutely not let you harm her."
The woman frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes.
"You're really asking for trouble. Fine, if you won't make the call, then I'll have to do it for you. Someone, put some lucky charms on this old man."
As soon as the woman finished speaking, two burly men stepped forward from behind her.
Without saying a word, he started punching and kicking Old Bai.
The old man curled up on the ground, enduring the beating without uttering a sound.
