Mu Jinyun’s complexion changed, and she shouted in shock, “Dad? Is it really you?”
After she finished speaking, she looked up at Mu Tingxiao: “Tingxiao, it’s Dad who called.”
“Oh.” Mu Tingxiao walked over and sat down on the sofa opposite her.
Mu Jinyun thought that Mu Tingxiao wanted to listen to Mu Qingfeng’s speech, so she turned on the amplifier.
Mu Qingfeng’s voice came from the phone, incomparably flustered: “Jin Yun, I was kidnapped. They want three hundred million. Only three hundred million can release me…you help dad raise money…”
After Mu Qingfeng hadn’t finished speaking, the phone was snatched by someone. The voice of the speaker was weird and hoarse. It was obvious that the kidnapper had used a voice changer: “In twenty-four hours, less than 300 million people were seen. Just wait to collect his body! Remember, you are not allowed to call the police.”
Mu Jinyun quickly said: “Good, three hundred million, I know, I will definitely raise three hundred million, don’t… beep!”
She didn’t finish her words, and the phone was hung up.
“Dad was really kidnapped? If it wasn’t for me to come back and I happened to receive a call from the kidnappers, are you going to tell me? You are not going to save Dad, right?”
Mu Jinyun’s tone was very excited: “Mu Tingxiao, why are you so cold-blooded, no matter how much grievances you have with him, he is our biological father!”
For Mu Jinyun’s accusation, Mu Tingxiao’s expression did not change.
He looked at Mu Jinyun, but said to Shi Ye: “Have you heard? She wants three hundred million to save her father, so she doesn’t have to make arrangements.”
“Yes.” Shi Ye answered and went out.
“Tingxiao, you…I was just too worried about my dad just now.” Mu Jinyun thought that Mu Tingxiao had so simply agreed to give her 300 million.
Mu Tingxiao just curled his lips for unknown reasons, and said nothing.
At this moment, Mu Jiachen walked in from outside carrying a schoolbag.
Mu Jiachen attended a boarding school this semester. The school was militarized. It was a very strict school. He had to turn in his mobile phone at school. He didn’t see the news until today’s holiday.
“Cousin, cousin!”
As soon as Mu Jiachen entered the door, he saw Mu Jinyun and Mu Tingxiao: “I saw the news that my uncle was kidnapped? You also found Sister Qingning!”
When Mu Jinyun heard Mu Jiachen mentioned “Qing Ning”, she turned her head and asked Mu Tingxiao, “Who is Qing Ning?”
Mu Tingxiao stood up and looked at Mu Jiachen with a slightly serious expression: “Come with me and tell you something.”
“Cousin, what’s going on?” Mu Nuannuan had also been in the news before, so in Mu Jiachen’s subconscious, he felt that most of the news in the news were fake.
Mu Tingxiao handed Mu Lian’s condition identification to Mu Jiachen: “Look at this first.”
Mu Jiachen took it and saw the name “Mu Lian” written on it. He was taken aback for a while before he continued to look down.
Seeing the back, he fell silent completely.
Mu Tingxiao didn’t say anything to comfort him, but told him in a very calm tone: “My aunt loves my uncle very much, and her mental state is not very good recently. We didn’t realize until a servant found out that she wanted to hit the wall to commit suicide. When the matter was serious, she was sent to the hospital.”
Mu Jiachen raised his head with red eyes: “Where is she now?”
Mu Tingxiao noticed Mu Jiachen’s clenched fists.
His eyebrows are still calm and deserted: “She was emotionally unstable. I was sent to the hospital. There are professional doctors there. I believe it will be helpful to her condition. You can visit her if you have time.”
It is rare for Mu Tingxiao to have the patience to say so much to people other than Mu Nuannuan.
To him, Mu Jiachen was always different from other Mu family members.
Just as Mr. Mu said, Mu Jiachen was a sincere child, and Mu Tingxiao guarded him when he grew up, after all, he couldn’t bear to tell him the truth.
Those things about Mulian and Mu Qingfeng.
The death of Si Minghuan.
These cruel truths make it a secret.
Mu Jiachen wiped away his tears: “Cousin, thank you, uncle business…”
Mu Tingxiao interrupted him: “That is our adults’ business.”
Mu Tingxiao sent someone to send Mu Jiachen to see Mu Lian, and then sent him directly back to school.
There are a lot of things in Mu’s family these days, and it’s better for Mu Jiachen to stay in school.
Having arranged these things, Mu Tingxiao sat in the study for a while before going out.
Looking down from the second floor, Mu Jinyun was still on the phone in the lobby on the first floor.
Mu Tingxiao turned around and went back to the room. As expected, he saw Mu Nuannuan leaning on the bedside in a daze.
Hearing the door opening, Mu Nuannuan looked up at him: “I’m back.”
In just one week, Mu Nuannuan has lost a lot of weight, her chin is sharper, and her complexion paler.
Mu Tingxiao stretched out her hand and squeezed her sharp chin with her fingers. She dared not use force, and said with a deep face, “If you lose weight like this, I won’t take you there.”
“Mu Tingxiao…” Mu Nuannuan’s expression changed slightly, and she pulled his hand.
Instead, Mu Tingxiao said something else: “Xiao Chen is back.”
Mu Nuannuan’s complexion uttered: “You…”
As if knowing what Mu Nuannuan would ask, Mu Tingxiao said, “I don’t say anything.”
Mu Nuannuan nodded.
She thought that Mu Tingxiao and Si Chengyu were destined to be different people.
After Si Chengyu knew his life experience, he only thought about how to drag others to hell and suffering together, but Mu Tingxiao couldn’t bear to let Mu Jiachen know the truth.
He was not born of the same kind, so no matter what method Si Chengyu used, he couldn’t turn Mu Tingxiao into a person like him.
…
Shi Ye helped Mu Jinyun raise 300 million.
Halfway through, the kidnappers called again and said they wanted some cash and some gold bars…
Mu Tingxiao said nothing, and ordered Shi Ye to do it.
The kidnappers called again, and Mu Jinyun had already been forced by them to have some patience: “This time the head office, right? We have everything ready for you.”
But the kidnapper seemed to have fun: “Well, let’s add 50 million in cash, and I will let the old man go!”
Mu Jinyun thought that the other party would increase the price temporarily, and tried to deal with them: “We’re not talking about it…”
But the kidnapper didn’t give her any room: “Before dark, if I don’t see the money, I will ask someone to send one of his hands.”
As soon as the kidnapper hung up, Mu Jinyun ran to Mu Tingxiao and said, “Tingxiao, what should I do now?”
Mu Tingxiao said indifferently: “Their appetite will only get bigger and bigger. They won’t be content. Let’s call the police.”
Mu Jinyun also felt that what Mu Tingxiao said was reasonable, and the kidnappers were sure that they would not dare to call the police before the lion opened his mouth.
However, they called the police with their front feet, and when it was dark, they received an arm from Mu Qingfeng.
Mu Jinyun was frightened and fainted.
The kidnapper’s phone number called at this time.
Mu Qingfeng’s horrified voice rang on the other end of the phone: “Tingxiao, they only need 50 million cash. You save me, I don’t want to die!”
