"how's it going?"
After Chen Junjie came downstairs, his expression was extremely anxious. "I heard Aunt Song was kidnapped. Any news?"
Chen Hongjiang had just finished a phone call, his face full of worry. "The detective said that the car was a rebranded one, so it will take time to find her."
He slumped down on the sofa, fingers tangled in his hair, "Why today..."
Chen Junjie, uncharacteristically, comforted him, "Dad, don't be too sad. Aunt Song is blessed with good fortune, and nothing will happen to her."
Chen Hongjiang looked up with some surprise and asked suspiciously, "Don't you always dislike Yalian? What's wrong with you today?"
Chen Junjie was stunned for a moment and then said, "I've figured it out. As long as you like it, Dad, I won't object in the future."
Hearing this, Su Man smiled sarcastically. This Chen Junjie, even if he wanted to be a fox, couldn't hide his tail well. He behaved so abnormally at this time, afraid that others would not see that Song Yalian's disappearance was related to him?
Chen Junjie didn't know that he had been seen through by Su Man, who had CT scans, so he pretended to be concerned and said, "By the way, Dad, do you want to call and cancel the engagement party tonight?"
Chen Hongjiang hesitated. Song Yalian was nowhere to be found, and the engagement couldn't go ahead. But if he canceled it...
Just as he was hesitating, Su Man spoke up, "Dad, Mom has been looking forward to this engagement party. Why don't we wait a little longer? If the kidnappers get the money and send Mom back, then the party can be held normally."
Seeing Chen Hongjiang's expression soften, she continued, "Besides, we've already notified the guests to attend, and quite a few have come back from other cities. Canceling it now will inevitably arouse suspicion. If the news leaks out, it will be very detrimental to our ability to rescue Mom."
Hearing this, Chen Hongjiang said resolutely, "Xiang Man is right. Nothing is more important than Yalian's safety right now. The banquet will be held as usual. If Yalian can't make it back, we will change it to an ordinary dinner."
Su Man felt relieved when she saw Chen Junjie with a sullen face.
Originally, Chen Junjie had almost achieved his goal, but now Su Man pulled him back with just a few words. Chen Junjie glared at her angrily, blaming her for meddling in other people's business.
But Su Man was not angry at all. Instead, she looked at him with a smile, her eyes as clear as fire, as if she saw through all his tricks.
Chen Junjie already had something to hide, and now he felt even more nervous as he was being stared at. Did she know something?
No way, only he and An Shao know about this.
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. He went upstairs, making an excuse to see if any friends could help.
Returning to the bedroom, Chen Junjie locked the door and dialed a number.
"Hey, how are things going?"
"Don't worry, everything will go well."
After hearing this, Chen Junjie felt relieved and warned, "Don't let her contact Dad."
"clear."
The guy with tattoos who was driving hung up the phone and threw it on the passenger seat.
The yellow-haired guy in the back row poked his head in and asked, "Boss, did Brother Jie say when to transfer the money?"
The flower-armed elder brother said impatiently, "How can it be so fast?"
Suddenly, he saw two suspicious vehicles following him from the rearview mirror.
Although they seemed to be traveling together, he still felt suspicious in this suburban area. "It seems like we're being watched."
"What?" Huangmao was surprised. He looked back and saw a blue car and a black car, one in the back and the other on the left, just blocking their way.
At the same time, a text message came on Suman’s mobile.
[Bo Qing: The fish has taken the bait]
[Suman: Let’s talk about it after we catch it]
Bo Qing, who was sitting in the back seat of the blue car, was amused. This woman really wouldn't show her hand until she saw the rabbit.
He was surprised when he heard that she wanted his help. After all, he felt that Su Man was not someone who would easily owe others favors. However, she always had her own calculations in everything she did, and he was a little looking forward to what she would do in return.
...
As time passed, Chen Hongjiang became more and more uneasy.
Su Man was fanning him with a fan sprayed with brain-clearing oil. She asked worriedly, "Dad, why haven't the kidnappers come to ask for the ransom yet? Aren't these people here for money?"
Chen Hongjiang's heart tightened. Yes, if it was really for money, he should have called him long ago. Could it be that someone deliberately ruined his engagement party?
Was it Lu Li? After all, she had been quite resentful of his remarriage ever since their divorce. And Chen Junjie, who had never liked Yalian, was surprisingly concerned about her today.
The more Chen Hongjiang thought about it, the more serious his expression became. He said in a deep voice, "Xiaoman, go get Junjie down here for me."
"Why."
When Su Man knocked on the door, Chen Junjie was playing games inside. He had no intention of opening the door and said impatiently, "If you have something to say, just tell me."
"Dad asked you to go down."
When Chen Junjie heard that it was Chen Hongjiang looking for him, he didn't dare to delay for a moment and hurriedly logged off. When he left, the word panic was written on his face.
"What did Dad say?"
Su Man raised her eyebrows and said, "You'll know when you get down there."
The less Su Man said, the more at a loss Chen Junjie became, and his steps down the stairs were as light as a cat's.
"Where did you hide Yalian?"
Chen Hongjiang roared, and Chen Junjie's knees weakened and he almost fell to his knees. He still pretended to be calm, "Dad, I don't know what you are talking about."
"You won't tell me, will you?"
Chen Hongjiang's patience ran out. "Since you won't tell me, I'll hand you over to the police. If you really did kidnap someone, you can imagine how many years you'll be sentenced to!"
