◇ Chapter 43
After the two left the mental hospital and returned to the orphanage, they were told that Xiao An had been kidnapped by the desperate Zhan Jianguo.
He also said that if you don't bring 50 million to ransom the person, he will kill him in half an hour.
Si Gu'an was so panicked that his face turned pale, and his hands were shaking as he dialed the phone: "Xiao An..."
Chu Jiangyuan held Si Gu'an down and said, "We can't call the police now. Zhan Jianguo is desperate now. If the police go, it will only irritate him."
"Then...what should I do?"
Worry makes one confused. Now all that echoes in Si Gu'an's mind are the harsh words in Zhan Jianguo's recording and Xiao An's helpless crying.
Chu Jiangyuan comforted her, "I'll find a way. You get in the car and rest for a while."
The reason why he needed to rest was that Si Gu'an was shaking.
"How can I stay calm?"
Si Gu'an looked anxious. Seeing this, Chu Jiangyuan said, "Get in the car first. We'll go rescue the child together later, okay?"
Si Gu'an then nodded.
Three minutes later, Chu Jiangyuan got in the car and the two set off. Soon, they arrived at the abandoned warehouse designated by Zhan Jianguo.
The warehouse door opened, and Zhan Jianguo sat in the middle with a look of resentment on his face. Seeing the two people coming, he laughed wildly: "Chu Jiangyuan, you really came!"
As he spoke, he grabbed the unconscious Xiao An on the ground and put the knife on Xiao An's arm, scaring Si Gu An so much that he screamed, "No!"
"Zhan Jianguo, don't you want money? I can give you 50 million or 80 million as long as you let go of the child!"
Si Gu'an's forehead was covered in cold sweat from panic.
Zhan Jianguo snorted coldly, "I've never seen that kind of money! Chu Jiangyuan, if you want your daughter, you'll have to exchange your life for her!"
"Chu Jiangyuan, you destroyed my son and my company. You didn't expect that your daughter would fall into my hands too?!"
Chu Jiangyuan's eyes darkened. "What do you want?"
He secretly looked around the warehouse, his gaze lingering on the oil drums not far away.
Si Gu'an was filled with hatred and anger. Zhan Xiangtian had clearly destroyed himself. At such a young age, he had already taken three lives and persecuted countless innocent girls and boys! He deserved to go to hell!
But now was not the time to argue with Zhan Jianguo about this. Si Gu'an took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible: "You are wrong. Xiao An is not Chu Jiangyuan's child."
"Humph!" Zhan Jianguo clearly didn't believe it and continued, "Who cares if she's Chu Jiangyuan's daughter? As long as Chu Jiangyuan can die for her, that's enough!"
"Chu Jiangyuan, see the knife next to you? I'll count to three, and you must stab me. Otherwise, I'll kill this girl!"
As he said that, he took the knife and slashed Xiao An's body. Even though Xiao An was unconscious, he twitched in pain.
"Zhan Jianguo! Let my child go and let me take over!" Si Gu'an was helpless.
But Zhan Jianguo didn't leave him at all. He just shouted at Chu Jiangyuan fiercely: "Chu Jiangyuan, are you going to do it or not?!"
"Okay, I promise."
Chu Jiangyuan picked up the knife on the ground and stabbed himself without hesitation.
"Chu Jiangyuan!" It was too late for Si Gu'an to stop him. He covered his wound with trembling hands.
"Are you stupid? He won't let Xiao An go even if you stab yourself!"
"Hahaha! Chu Jiangyuan, keep going! Otherwise, don't blame me for being blind with the knife in my hand!" Zhan Jianguo has gone crazy.
Chu Jiangyuan pushed Si Gu'an's hand away and said, "It's nothing, it doesn't hurt much." But his face was pale.
Si Gu'an's heart was torn. "How can it not hurt when so much blood has been shed? Chu Jiangyuan, why are you..."
He didn't know that this pain was nothing to Chu Jiangyuan. His internal organs were being cut into pieces almost every minute and every second.
But his worries were what he wanted most.
Chu Jiangyuan smiled weakly, "This is all because of me. Don't worry, I will bring the child back safely."
Before the two could say a few more words, Zhan Jianguo yelled again: "Chu Jiangyuan! What are you dawdling for! Hurry up!"
Chu Jiangyuan pushed Si Gu'an away and walked towards Zhan Jianguo.
Pierce one step at a time.
"Chu Jiangyuan! Stop it!"
"Stop!" Si Gu'an cried, but he turned a deaf ear to him.
He looked cruel and brutal, and his attacks were so ruthless that it seemed as if he felt no pain.
Finally, while Zhan Jianguo was stunned, Chu Jiangyuan stabbed Zhan Jianguo and quickly snatched the child away.
"Get out of here!" Chu Jiangyuan spat out a mouthful of blood as soon as he finished saying this.
Without even wiping the blood off, he dragged the two of them towards the door. Zhan Jianguo, who was still breathing, propped himself up and shouted frantically, "Don't even think about escaping. Bury with us!"
As he said that, he took out a lighter and threw it at the oil barrel.
"Go—"
Si Gu'an only had time to hear this sentence before Chu Jiangyuan forcefully pushed him out of the warehouse...
