The next morning, Jian Jing went to Si's second sister's home and chatted with her alone for a while.

Si's second sister's face was pale, her eye sockets were dark and bloodshot, and she looked like she hadn't slept well the night before. Even her voice was much hoarse, and she was no longer as tough as yesterday: "Miss Jian, tell me the truth, will he hurt Cong Cong?"

"The probability is not high." Jian Jing analyzed, "He knew you called the police yesterday, but he just starved him instead of using a knife directly. He probably wouldn't kill him before achieving his goal."

Si's second sister was obviously relieved. She didn't really believe in Jian Jing's judgment 100%, but she needed someone to keep emphasizing it so that her heart wouldn't be twisted into a ball in her chest and she couldn't breathe.

"So we still have to wait? Can't we just find someone directly?" She asked hopefully, "I heard from Yingjie that you helped Fang Limin find his kidnapped son before, can you also find Congcong directly?"

Jian Jing shook her head.

The time when Fang Dong's son was kidnapped, firstly, it was done in a hurry, leaving many clues, and secondly, the two kidnappers were not professionals, so they made many mistakes, so she was lucky enough to catch him at her doorstep.

But the kidnapper of Congcong is cunning and cautious, and there has been no omissions so far. There is really no other way except to counter his moves.

Si Erjie was disappointed.

"Sis, no news now is good news." Si Yingjie comforted, "Have breakfast first. You didn't eat anything yesterday. If you don't eat today, you really can't stand it."

Si's second sister smiled bitterly: "I can't eat a single bite. You know your nephew has been spoiled by his parents since he was a child. He usually urges me to eat. I almost get angry to death. I wish I could starve him for two meals. But I feel very uncomfortable when I think of him not having food for a day. If I had known earlier - if I had known earlier, why would I be so strict with him."

The last tone could not hide the crying tone.

Si Yingjie hurried to comfort her.

Jian Jing consciously avoided and ran into Nanny Yuan. She brought a plate of cut fruits to Jian Jing, and was about to say something.

"Is there anything wrong?" She asked curiously.

Nanny Yuan asked, "When will Congcong come back?"

Jian Jing shook her head and said, "Aren't you on vacation? Why are you still here?"

"Alas." Nanny Yuan smiled bitterly, "I'm really worried about Congcong. This child is a little naughty. After all, I took care of him for so long. Now he is like this..."

She was worried, "Who is so mean to a child? Alas."

"I find it strange too." Jian Jing pretended to be puzzled. "Actually, money is not a big deal. I'm just worried about him being killed. I heard that Congcong is the only son in the family. If... this family will be too pitiful."

The nanny believed it: "It took seven or eight years to get him. If he really dies, I don't know how they will cry."

Jian Jing was curious: "How could this happen?"

The nanny lowered her voice and revealed some gossip: "I heard it was a physical problem and she did an IVF test tube."

"The man or the woman?"

"You don't understand that." The nanny said in a worldly tone, "It's the woman's problem. She divorced a long time ago. The one who went through the trouble of doing an IVF test tube must be the man."

Jian Jing: "...makes sense."

This can explain why the father dotes on his child so much, but the mother is so strict.

"Jing Jing." Si Yingjie ran downstairs quickly and waved to her, "The phone is ringing." Jian Jing

immediately put her thoughts aside and rushed upstairs.

Si Yingjie only saw a shadow flashing past the curtains, and in the blink of an eye, the person was in the living room upstairs.

Si Erjie waited until Jian Jing came over, and then she nervously answered the phone.

Kidnapper: "Are the things ready?"

"Time is too tight, and we can't transfer so many goods." Si's second sister said, "Almost one hundred million diamonds, plus the transfer bank? We won't lose a penny, don't hurt Cong Cong, let me hear his voice."

She glanced at Jian Jing, and her true feelings came out: "Let him talk to me, what can a photo prove?" There was no need to act, the mother's tears almost fell, "I want to hear him call me! If you don't let me talk to him, I won't give you a penny. Who knows if he is... if he is..."

The last word was choked with sobs.

The kidnapper was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "You think I don't know that money transfers will leave clues. You want to lock me up through the flow of funds? It's not that easy."

Si Erjie tried her best to explain: "I really don't have any. Just ask anyone in the industry, who would prepare so much? The next batch of goods is in Bozana, and it will take a month to ship it over."

The kidnapper paused and gave in: "If you don't have diamonds, gems will do. A rich lady like you, you must have some valuable jewelry, right?"

Si Erjie looked at Jian Jing.

She wrote a few lines on the paper.

"If it's jewelry..." Second Sister Si considered, "How about antiques? I have a painting from the Southern Song Dynasty that was sold for more than 90 million. It should be worth more than 100 million now."

The kidnapper said coldly, "Antiques are all unique and too conspicuous. I repeat, I only want jewelry, gemstones, pearls, jade, anything is fine. Mr. Si, I have been very tolerant of you. Don't force me to cut off one of your son's ears before you can give it to me."

Second Sister Si's breath was choked.

After a while, she said, "I will try... Let me hear the child's voice... Please."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and finally, the kidnapper compromised. There were

light footsteps, the creaking sound of the door being pushed open, and then the heartbreaking cry of Congcong: "Wow..." The cry was hoarse, and the vocal cords were dry and hoarse. It was obvious that she was crying. Second

sister Si couldn't wait, her heart almost jumped out of her throat earlier than her words: "Baby? Congcong, can you hear mommy's voice?"

"Mom-Mom--" Congcong cried and hiccuped, "I don't want to stay here, I, I will be obedient--"

Second sister Si held back her grief and comforted him: "Mom will pick you up soon, you have to listen to uncle."

Congcong: "Well, I-I will definitely listen--"

The phone was hung up abruptly.

Si's second sister turned around in panic: "What's going on? The signal is down?"

Jian Jing shook her head and said, "He's alerted."

"What should we do?"

Jian Jing didn't answer but asked, "Is there a text message?"

Si's second sister looked down and saw new news: [At 2 o'clock this afternoon, bring the prepared things to People's Park. Only one person can come. If someone comes with you, cancel the transaction immediately.]

Another one: [Your son didn't eat today either]

She immediately called her brother-in-law and told him about today's contact situation.

Brother-in-law Si was also very anxious: "The goods are ready, I will be back soon, let's discuss it."

Si's second sister was speechless, she responded harshly, held the phone, and looked around in confusion.

Si Yingjie asked: "Jingjing, what should we do next?" "

Pay the ransom." Jian Jing said without hesitation, "You go."

Si Yingjie was stunned: "I go?"

She nodded.

Second Sister Si said, "No, I'll go, I'll go in person."

"No." Jian Jing rejected, "You're not in good condition. Once the kidnappers threaten you, can you guarantee that you will make a rational choice?"

"Rational? Of course I can't be rational." Second Sister Si stood up suddenly, hysterical, "My son may get into trouble at any time, how can I be rational? I don't want to be rational, I just want my son to come back safely."

Jian Jing said, "He won't touch your son for the time being, this is his trump card."

"What do you mean?"

"Why did he starve Congcong? Is it just to threaten you? Everyone knows that he won't die if he is hungry for two or three days." Jian Jing analyzed in an orderly manner, "But it's hard to say if it takes a long time. As long as no one knows where the child is, he can bargain with you."

Si Yingjie suddenly realized: "You mean, he wants to delay time so that we dare not let the police arrest him?"

"Yes, this is a delaying tactic. If the child is injured and could die at any time, the parents may make a desperate move and catch the person first and then interrogate him. But if the child is just hungry and his life is not in danger for the time being, you dare not take the risk."

Si's second sister nodded slowly and finally calmed down: "You are right."

Soon, Si's brother-in-law hurried back with a safe in his hand. There were dozens of different diamonds of different sizes in it. The big ones were five or six carats, and the small ones were only two or three carats. Because they have not been cut yet, the luster is not high.

Si's second sister said: "I asked Yingjie to go to the bank to get the gems, and he will hand them over later."

"Let me go." Si's brother-in-law said, "I will go in person to avoid the kidnappers' suspicion."

This made sense. She glanced at Jian Jing, as if asking.

Jian Jing said, "No need to argue. I think People's Park is a cover. With the professionalism of the kidnappers, it is impossible for them to reveal the real location right away."

"You said he would change the location halfway?" Si's brother-in-law asked.

She said, "It is very likely. It may take a long time. Both of you are not in good condition. The kidnappers only want one person to go. If you encounter trouble on the way, it is easy to have an accident."

Si's brother-in-law hesitated and said, "It's not that I don't believe Yingjie, but he is my son after all. I want to go in person. Otherwise, if you ask me to wait here, I really..." He smiled bitterly, "I really can't stay here."

Since the father said so, Jian Jing didn't say much and nodded in agreement.

After a quick lunch, at 1pm, Jian Jing told everyone: "I'm going to People's Park to see if I can help."

Si Yingjie said: "I'll go with you."

"You stay at home with Mr. Si and contact me anytime if you have any news." Jian Jing refused and went out alone.

At 1:30pm, Si's brother-in-law also set out.

He put on a microphone and a positioning device, installed a signal transmitter in the safe, and drove slowly to People's Park.

At 1:50, he arrived at the parking lot and waited for further notification.

At 2 o'clock, the phone rang on time.

"Hello." He picked up nervously.

The kidnapper got straight to the point: "Go to the bridge of the central lake of the park, come alone, otherwise you know the consequences."

Si's brother-in-law got out of the car quickly, picked up the box, and ran to the destination quickly.

It was the hottest time of the year, and the park was deserted during the day. He walked on the road and hardly met anyone. When he reached the bridge, he looked around and saw only the anxious chirping of cicadas, and could not see the person he was handing over.

The phone rang.

"Are we there?"

"We are." Brother-in-law Si wiped his sweat.

"You are very cooperative." The kidnapper's tone softened. "Now, go forward and turn left. There is a box under the second row of chairs on the right. Take it out."

Brother-in-law Si did as he was told and took out a small box the size of a palm from under the chair.

"Open the box and put the diamond in it."

Brother-in-law Si turned his head and looked around, but found nothing. He had to do as he was told, opened the safe he brought with him, and poured in the prepared jewelry.

"Put your box in and take mine."

Brother-in-law Si swapped the two.

"Send the box to Cherry Blossom Avenue within half an hour. I'll tell you what to do when we get there."

The call ended.

Brother-in-law Si hurried back to the parking lot and called his wife to inform her of the progress.

"I heard everything." Second Sister Si clasped her hands, "He should feel more relieved when he sees that there are no police. Maybe after paying the money this time, Cong Cong will be able to come back."

Brother-in-law Si took a deep breath: "Okay, I'll go there now. Is there any new news from Miss Jian?"

"She just called us and said that she found traces of a suspicious person and plans to follow him. Do you want me to notify her to go to Cherry Blossom Avenue?" Second Sister Si conveyed. Brother-in-

law Si thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, let her continue to follow. What if she can find the place? I may have to change it on my side."

"That's right."
