The biggest problem now was that she didn’t even know where the kids were and what those people wanted.
If those people knew that the children were from the Nan family, then the possibility of them asking for ransom was
huge.
If the Nan family knew that their precious children were abducted, they would pay any amount of money for them.
In fact, that wouldn’t be too bad.
If they were seeking revenge, however, then it would be a lot worse.
What worried Ning Ran the most was that this could be Luo Fei’s doing, as Luo Fei had always wanted to make them
disappear from Flower City.
And that was exactly what these people were doing.
All signs were pointing to Luo Fei.
The phone rang again. Ning Ran received new instructions asking her to get off the freeway at the next toll.
She arrived at a small town after leaving the freeway.
They asked her to change her car once again. This time, it was a Jeep SUV with another new phone inside.
She got back onto the freeway and continued driving south.
Ning Ran had been driving until it was ten o’clock. She was getting sleepy and hungry.
She had slowly calmed down and felt that neither herself nor her kids would be in danger for the time being.
The reason was simple. If they had intended to hurt the kids, they could’ve done it when the place was in chaos.
They didn’t have to go through the trouble of abducting them.
They were most likely having her drive to a remote location far away from Flower City, where no one could find her.
Ning Ran tried calling the unknown number back, but they didn’t answer.
A moment later, they called her again.
“What is it?”
“Are my kids okay? Don’t let them go hungry.” Ning Ran said.
“They’ve already eaten.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“What did they eat?” Ning Ran was still worried.
“Bread with milk. What else could they be eating while on the road?” The person said impatiently.
This gave Ning Ran an important clue. They were also on the way and were going in the same direction as her.
These people were very cunning. They wouldn’t allow Ning Ran to see the children, so Ning Ran wouldn’t dare defy
them and would be completely at their mercy.
“Where can we stop? Driving for more than four hours already counts as fatigue driving, and I’ve been driving for
more than six hours now!” Ning Ran said.
“You can rest as necessary, but not more than half an hour. As for the destination, just await further instructions.
Remember, no funny tricks. We’re watching every little move you make.” They said.
Ning Ran knew what they were talking about. She had noticed the cameras installed in the car.
She wouldn’t dare try anything even if they didn’t have the cameras installed anyway.
They have her kids under their control, after all.
……
Flower City, Nanshi Corporation, CEO’s office.
“Brother, Captain Lu from the police department called. There is still no news on Ding Mi.” Nan Xing had a worried
look on his face.
“Have you managed to track down the number that called you?” Nan Chen asked.
“No, that’s a satellite phone. He just told me that Ning Ran wants us to transfer ten million to her. I’ve already had
someone make the transfer according to the designated account provided.” Nan Xing said.
“Something isn’t right.” Nan Chen said.
“I know that too, but we don’t have a choice. This is all we can do right now. Ding Mi has taken the kids away, so we
have to pay her.” Nan Xing said.
Nan Chen didn’t say anything but his face looked terrifyingly cold.
This woman was too heinous. Not only has she run away with her children, but she also demanded ten million from
us.
With this amount of money, she could easily find a place to settle down and it would feed her for life.
But Nan Chen felt something was off about the method that woman was using to get the money.
He had offered her as much as three hundred million once, but she was not swayed in the slightest by it.
If money really was all she wanted, she would’ve accepted his offer back then.
She didn’t want the three hundred million, but now she’s asking for ten million? She must be crazy! It doesn’t make
sense at all!
The only possible explanation was that this woman values her children even more than the money. But even if this
was the case, it still contradicted Nan Chen’s previous deduction.
Nan Chen had believed that she didn’t want the money because she would gain a lot more by marrying into the
Nan family instead.
But now, she had run away with her kids and only asked for ten million, which was completely different from what
Nan Chen had thought.
Furthermore, the person that called was not Ning Ran herself either. It was another man that spoke to them on the
phone.
Could it be that the man was actually the stepfather that this woman was going to get her kids?
There was a hostile look in Nan Chen’s eyes as he thought about that.
“Brother, do you think Ding Mi would really take her kids away like that?” Nan Xing asked anxiously.
Nan Chen got even more furious. Need you even ask? They’ve clearly been taken away!
I’ve told him to beware of that woman, but he wouldn’t believe me, and insisted on marrying her. Now look at what
happened! The child’s gone!
“But brother, I don’t think she’s the kind of person who would do such a thing.”
“Then what kind of person is she?” Nan Chen asked coldly.
“Think about it, if she had only wanted ten million, was there even a need for her to go through so much trouble?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCouldn’t she have just asked me for the money instead?”
“She’s asked for it now, hasn’t she?” Nan Chen asked.
“What I mean is that there was no need for her to take the kids away. I could just give her ten million anytime, so
why would she have to leave? If she’d just wanted to keep her kids, then it’s even more unnecessary to take them
away! The kids were hers to begin with, and I didn’t try to take them from her either, so why would she have to
leave like that? Besides, they were originally living overseas. If money was what she wanted, she could just send me
a photo of them and I’d even pay a hundred million for them. What’s the point of bringing them back here only to
leave again later on? I simply see no need for her to do this!” Nan Xing made his conclusion.
Nan Chen agreed with some of Nan Xing’s words, and disagreed with some.
Because Nan Chen has always had prejudices against that woman. Once a person has a prejudice against another,
they will only see their bad side.
Even logical behaviors would become illogical and associated with ill intentions.
At this moment, Jiang Zhe walked in, “Mr. Nan Chen, Cheng Xiangyun is here.”
Nan Chen nodded and motioned to let her in.
It was the first time Cheng Xiangyun had seen such a huge and lavish office. She had never imagined that such a
grand workplace existed.
Rather than an office, it seemed more like a private clubhouse.
“Mr. Nan Chen.” Cheng Xiangyun greeted with a bow.
“Hm.” He responded.
“Tell Mr. Nan Chen in detail what exactly happened today.” Jiang Zhe told Cheng Xiangyun.
“Alright, so I heard about the explosion at the kindergarten today, then Ding Mi and I rushed over……”
Cheng Xiangyun continued to explain everything that happened in great detail.
Nan Chen just listened without making any comments.
