Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Chapter 817: Kidnappers’ Objective (1)

Han Yichen’s face darkened slightly as he asked in a low voice, “Did you call the police?”

Mu Tingfeng shook his head. “I didn’t call the police, but I’ve already asked the Su family and the Ye family to help look for them.”

Calling the police at this time would easily alert the enemy. Moreover, he and Zhao Youlin now had an unspeakable distrust of the police.

Rather than relying on that group of people, it would be better to ask the Su family for help. After all, the Su family was not inferior to anyone in certain aspects.

Han Yichen frowned slightly and voiced out what they were most worried about.

“It would be fine if the kidnappers only want money, but I’m afraid...”

Zhao Youlin’s face turned pale and her lips trembled. She was about to say something when the phone at home finally rang.

Everyone in the room was shocked. Zhao Youlin was the first to react. She quickly rushed to the phone and picked up the call. Then she took a deep breath and tried her best to keep her tone calm. She said in a low voice, “Hello, who is this?”

“Is this Ms. Zhao?”

“Yes, it’s me.”

“Very good. I won’t beat around the bush. Ms. Zhao, your son is now in my hands. If you want to bring your son back safely, come to the fifth floor of the abandoned building behind the HillEx warehouse two days later. Bring 50 million yuan and prepare a helicopter. If you come alone, you can’t call the police. If we find out that you’ve called the police or brought more people, you’ll have to wait to collect your son’s body.”

The person on the other end of the phone hung up after saying that, not giving Zhao Youlin a chance to speak at all.

Zhao Youlin listened to the busy tone on the other end of the phone, and her face turned extremely gloomy.

Seeing her like this, Mu Tingfeng and Han Yichen couldn’t help but ask, “How is it?”

Zhao Youlin said with a sullen face, “That person asked me to come to the fifth floor of the abandoned building behind the HillEx warehouse in two days’ time, bring 50 million and prepare a helicopter. I must go there alone and I can’t call the police. Otherwise... I can only collect Joy’s body.”

Mu Tingfeng and Han Yichen looked at each other. 50 million yuan was nothing to them, and the helicopter was not a problem. It sounded like a conspiracy to let Zhao Youlin go alone.

“Was the caller a man or a woman?”

Han Yichen’s words stunned Zhao Youlin, but her anxious heart calmed down. She patiently analyzed the situation. “I couldn’t tell if it’s a man or a woman. It was heavily distorted,”

“A voice changer?” Mu Tingfeng raised his eyebrows. “He’s wearing a voice changer because he doesn’t want others to recognize his original voice. He’s afraid that others will recognize his voice. It’s very likely that this person is someone we know.”

“Someone we know.”

Zhao Youlin’s expression changed slightly, but she thought of a certain possibility.

Han Yichen saw her strange behavior. He frowned and asked, “Did you think of something?”

Zhao Youlin looked at Han Yichen and Mu Tingfeng and pursed her lips. She said truthfully, “Actually, I wanted to tell Tingfeng this yesterday, but Ling Ran happened to call at that time, so I didn’t have the time to tell him. In fact, I met the girl who stabbed Zhao Youming at the anniversary celebration yesterday.”

“You met that girl? Did she...”

When she saw Mu Tingfeng’s nervous expression, she asked, “Did she do anything to you?” Zhao Youlin quickly shook her head. “She didn’t do anything to me. She knows very well that the person who hurt her sister was Zhao Youming. There’s a debt for every injustice, and she will only seek revenge on Zhao Youming. The reason why she came to me was to apologize for ruining our anniversary celebration that day. She also hoped that we wouldn’t interfere in the feud between her and Zhao Youming.”

Hearing this, Mu Tingfeng’s expression turned a little better.

“From her mouth, I was surprised to find that she only recently found out that her sister was killed by Zhao Youming. It wasn’t an accident at all. The person who revealed this matter to her was... a woman.”

“A woman?” Mu Tingfeng and Han Yichen were stunned at the same time. After learning that Zhao Yifei had never left Shalnork and returned to the Sun family, they naturally thought that all of this was a personal grudge between Zhao Yifei and Zhao Youming.

But now, where did this woman come from? Could it be that they had missed something important from the start?

“After discovering this, I immediately went back to the company to find the two anonymous couriers. As expected, the notes on the two couriers are completely different. They had not been sent by the same person.”

Hearing this, Mu Tingfeng and Han Yichen’s expressions changed. What Zhao Youlin meant was that there was more than one person who was spying on them from behind the scenes. Moreover, the true big boss who had slipped through the net was most likely still spying on them from the shadows, waiting for the right time to strike a fatal blow at them.

“Do you suspect that this woman is the mastermind behind the kidnapping of Joy?”

Zhao Youlin shook her head. “I’m not sure, but no matter what, nothing must happen to Joy.”. “Brother, I’ll have to trouble you and Tingfeng to help gather the cash and plane that the kidnapper wants. Leave the rest to me.”

“Are you really planning to go alone?” Han Yichen did not look happy.

Zhao Youlin nodded firmly. She knew that she was being reckless, but she had no choice. Joy was the first person she had relied on after her rebirth, the first family member, and now her biggest pillar of support.

Zhao Youlin could not imagine what she would do if something really happened to Joy.

Mu Tingfeng did not say anything when he saw Zhao Youlin’s firm attitude. He only held her hand and comforted her, “We will go and raise the money first. You stay at home. There must be another way. Don’t worry, we are still here.”

Zhao Youlin forced a smile and agreed for the time being.

50 million might be a huge sum of money that others would never be able to reach in their lifetime, but for Han Yichen and Mu Tingfeng, it was not difficult to raise the money.

The key matter now was that the kidnapper asked Zhao Youlin to go alone. The more Han Yichen and Mu Tingfeng thought about it, the more they felt that there was a conspiracy. But the most troublesome thing now was that even if they knew it was a conspiracy, they had to jump into it because the initiative was not in their hands now.

The kidnapper never called again. Even tracing the number came up cold.

In the blink of an eye, the agreed time with the kidnapper came quietly.

That day, Mu Tingfeng personally drove Zhao Youlin over. However, Mu Tingfeng only drove Zhao Youlin to the agreed place downstairs.

Zhao Youlin insisted on going upstairs by herself. Mu Tingfeng and Han Yichen had already made arrangements in secret and did not argue with Zhao Youlin. They only kissed her on the forehead. Mu Tingfeng did not feel at ease and told her to be careful before she went upstairs.
