Chapter 297 Kidnapping
"I see."
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have overthought it."
"It's alright." Fang Lanxin took his hand. "Jing Shen, thank you for spending time with me today."
“Fool, we’re in this together now, this is what I should do.”
Fang Lanxin smiled.
She got out of the car, and Guan Jingshen watched her enter the villa before driving away.
Fang Lanxin rushed to the hospital early the next morning.
Lingye is still in the ICU, and his condition has not changed much.
The doctor said his vital signs were stable, but it was still unknown when he would wake up.
Fang Lanxin sat outside the ICU all morning.
Huo Siya called at noon.
"Mom, are you still in the hospital?"
"Um."
"How is A-Ye?"
"His condition has stabilized, but he hasn't woken up yet."
"And you? Have you eaten?"
"not yet."
"Mom!" Huo Siya's voice rose. "How can you not eat!"
"I'm not hungry."
"Even if you're not hungry, you have to eat!" Huo Siya said. "Wait here, I'll bring you food right away."
“Siya…”
"Don't tell me you don't need it, I'm already out the door!"
Huo Siya hung up the phone after she finished speaking.
Fang Lanxin smiled helplessly.
This girl is becoming more and more like her.
Half an hour later, Huo Siya arrived at the hospital with a lunchbox.
"Mom, eat quickly."
Fang Lanxin took the lunchbox, opened it, and saw that it contained her favorite dishes.
"Siya, thank you."
"Why are you being so polite with me?" Huo Siya sat down next to her. "Mom, you don't look well today. Didn't you sleep well?"
"Yeah, I didn't sleep much last night."
"Then go back and rest after you finish your meal."
"No need, I'll stay here with A-Ye."
Huo Siya looked at her mother and felt a pang of sadness.
Grandma is really good to Lingye.
Just like with your own child.
"Mom, Aye will wake up."
"Um."
After Fang Lanxin finished her meal, Huo Siya sat with her for a while before returning to the company.
At 3 p.m., the nurse came out and told Fang Lanxin that Ling Ye's condition had stabilized somewhat.
"The patient's various indicators are improving, which is a good sign."
"Thanks."
After the nurse left, Fang Lanxin looked at Ling Ye through the glass window.
The child remained lying there, motionless.
But she knew he was trying to live.
Time passed second by second.
In the evening, Fang Lanxin received a call from Guan Jingshen.
"Lanxin, how are you today?"
"Yes, Aye's condition is improving."
"That's good," Guan Jingshen said. "Have you had dinner?"
"not yet."
"I'll be right there and bring you food."
"Jing Shen, you don't need to come every day..."
“I want to come,” Guan Jingshen said. “And I also want to see you.”
Fang Lanxin smiled.
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Lanxin stood up and stretched her limbs.
She sat in the hospital all day, and her back was a little sore.
Reaching the end of the corridor, she opened the window and breathed in the fresh air.
The sky over the port city began to turn red as the sun set.
Looking at the scenery in the distance, Fang Lanxin suddenly felt a wave of weariness wash over her.
So much has happened these past two days.
While with Guan Jingshen, Ling Ye got into a car accident.
She felt she needed to get some rest.
My phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
Fang Lanxin answered the call.
"Hello?"
"Ms. Fang."
A strange man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Who are you?"
“Who I am is not important,” the man said. “What is important is that your son, Kenneth Fok, is in my hands.”
Fang Lanxin froze.
"What did you say?"
“I said, your son is in my hands,” the man repeated. “If you want him to live, do as I say.”
What do you want?
"Money," the man said. "Five hundred million, in cash."
"Deliver the money to the location I specify before 10 p.m. tonight."
"Otherwise, your son will be dead."
Fang Lanxin took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
"How do I know that Qibang is really in your hands?"
"You want to hear his voice?"
There was static on the other end of the phone, followed by Fok Kai-pong's voice.
"Mother..."
The voice was weak, but it was indeed Kenneth Fok.
Fang Lanxin's heart tightened.
"Chi-Bang! How are you?"
"Mom, don't worry about me..."
Huo Qibang was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
The man's voice came again.
"Did you hear that? Your son is indeed in our hands."
"Five hundred million in cash, before 10 p.m. tonight."
I'll text you the location.
"Remember, do not call the police, and do not tell anyone."
"Otherwise, your son will lose his life."
After saying that, the phone call ended.
Fang Lanxin held her phone, her hands trembling.
Qibang has been kidnapped.
She immediately dialed Fok Kai-pong's number.
Power off.
Then call Fok Kai-pong's secretary's number.
"Hello, Mrs. Huo."
"Where is Qibang?"
"President Huo went out to discuss business this afternoon and hasn't returned yet."
Where did he go?
"It seems they went to the dock area, but I'm not sure of the exact location."
Fang Lanxin hung up the phone.
pier.
That place is a melting pot of all sorts of people, and it's where trouble is most likely to happen.
She dialed Guan Jingshen's number.
It rang a few times before being answered.
"Lanxin, I'll be there soon..."
“Jing Shen,” Fang Lanxin interrupted him. “Qi Bang has been kidnapped.”
Guan Jingshen's voice changed immediately.
"What?!"
"The kidnappers just called, demanding 500 million in cash."
Did you call the police?
"The kidnappers said not to call the police."
Guan Jingshen remained silent for a few seconds.
"Lanxin, wait for me at the hospital, I'll be right there."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Lanxin leaned against the window.
Her mind was racing.
Five hundred million in cash, before 10 PM tonight.
Time is very tight.
Moreover, the kidnappers said she was not allowed to call the police, and she had to handle the matter herself.
My phone vibrated.
It was a text message.
The address written on it is: Warehouse No. 3, Sai Wan Pier.
There's another saying: Come alone, bring money.
Fang Lanxin looked at the text message, her eyes turning cold.
These people are really bold.
They dare to touch her son.
Ten minutes later, Guan Jingshen arrived at the hospital.
He saw Fang Lanxin and immediately went over to her.
"Lanxin, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Fang Lanxin handed him her phone. "Look."
Guan Jingshen's face turned very ugly after reading the text message.
“Sai Wan Pier, that’s the territory of the four families.”
Fang Lanxin was taken aback.
"You mean..."
“Although Huo Zhenhong has been kicked out of the Huo family, he still has influence at the docks,” Guan Jingshen said. “This kidnapping is very likely related to him.”
Fang Lanxin's gaze grew even colder.
Huo Zhenhong.
This person won't shed a tear until they see the coffin.
"Jing Shen, prepare 500 million in cash for me."
"Lanxin, are you really going alone?"
"The kidnappers said that I have to go alone."
“It’s too dangerous,” Guan Jingshen said. “Those people are capable of anything.”
“I know,” Fang Lanxin said. “But I can’t risk Qibang’s life.”
Guan Jingshen looked at her and finally nodded.
"Okay, I'll go prepare the money right away."
"But I have one condition."
"What are the conditions?"
"Let my men protect you secretly."
