Chen Chen was speechless for a moment. He had imagined countless scenes before coming, but this was not the case.
The kidnapper looked at the entire family wrapped around Chen Chen’s feet, but Chen Chen was not angry. He also understood that the person in front of him was probably not a bad person.
After some thought, the kidnapper quickly begged for mercy on the ground. “Alright, boss, I admit it. I did it. Forgive me. I can do anything now, but don’t send me to jail. Look at my family. They can’t leave me at all!”
Chen Chen saw that he had finally admitted it and asked, “You admit that you did it?”
The kidnapper nodded and said, “Yes, I admit it, but Boss, I was forced to do this for my livelihood. Why do you think I risked my life to come back? I have to see my youngest son. If I don’t care about him, he’ll die!”
As the kidnapper spoke, he cried. His wife was filled with sadness and began to cry.
With the family crying like this, Chen Chen was at a loss again.
He looked at the little boy beside him. He looked a little thin, but he was not about to die.
“You’re lying to me again. The child is fine. Why is he dying?” Chen Chen questioned.
It was because he was kind-hearted that Chen Chen was deceived by these people. He was no longer willing to trust others casually.
The kidnapper said in tears, “Boss, this isn’t my youngest son. My youngest son is still lying on the bed in the central room. If you don’t believe me, you can go and take a look.”
When Chen Chen heard this, he looked at the hall suspiciously.
Xiao Zhuo quickly leaned over and said, “President Chen, I’ll go with you!”
The two of them walked in and saw a small baby lying on the bed. He was at most two years old. Xiao Zhuo went forward to take a look. The child was very thin, his face was yellow, and his lips were snow-white. He did look sick.
Chen Chen walked out and asked, “What’s wrong with your child?”
From Chen Chen’s previous actions, the kidnapper also felt that Chen Chen was a kind person. He explained in detail, “It’s like this, Boss. Previously, Hu Wan found our brother and asked us to help kidnap him. Every one of us can get 200,000 yuan!”
The kidnapper cried helplessly, “My youngest son has leukemia and wants to undergo a bone marrow transplant. 200,000 yuan isn’t even enough. I can’t refuse this money! If I don’t want the money, my son will die. He’ll die…”
Looking at his sad and pitiful appearance, Chen Chen could not bear it.
“Don’t be sad first. Make things clear!” Xiao Zhuo said sternly.
When the kidnapper heard this, he restrained his emotions and said, “At that time, I took this money and participated in the kidnapping to kidnap that girl. Later, two more groups of people appeared. One was you, and the other was a very tall woman in black… She taught us a lesson first, and later, before we met in the hospital for the second time, that woman in black gave each of us 500,000 yuan and asked us to change our minds. She asked us to leave after saying what she asked.”
At this point, the kidnapper kowtowed repeatedly and said, “Boss, I also want to tell the truth at the hospital that day. I’m not looking for an excuse. I really need that money. You know, treating leukemia requires money. After the bone marrow transplant, he still has to recover and undergo a second surgery… I can only accept that job!”
He sighed and continued, “Boss, I was actually just a construction worker with a family to support. My father happened to be sick… I was part of that brother’s temporary team. He saw that I was doing manual labor and was more muscular, so he pulled me over. At that time, I was also forced into a corner and had to take that money. I know I’ve let you down, I’m really sorry!”
He then cried, “My father was sick. I really couldn’t take out the money. He died in my house just like that. I had no choice. I’m not a good son. The person who gave birth to me died just like that. I can’t let my son die too. If you don’t believe me, there’s still my father’s photo in the house. He died not long ago…”
When Chen Chen heard this, his brows were tightly furrowed. He had mixed feelings. He had just entered when he saw the photo.
He, who had a good family background since he was young, did not know that in the same city, under the same sky, there were still people suffering like this.
