This strange call was cut off in just ten seconds.
Gu Manxi’s face was pale.
Song Chen was still calm. He said, “Don’t worry. I’ll contact the police right away. It’s okay. The kidnappers won’t notice if we go through private channels.”
Song Chen contacted the police while taking Gu Manxi to his office to rest. Gu Manxi was feeling uneasy. She subconsciously grabbed Song Chen’s hand, her delicate fingers tightly clasped together.
Her mind was a mess.
Chuchu was in danger!
Chuchu was only five years old!
Who would kidnap Chuchu?
Gu Manxi tried hard to recall. She had not offended anyone – no, she had offended the Zhao family! Perhaps, it was the Zhao family who did it!
On the other side, Song Chen quickly contacted the police. He poured a glass of warm water for Gu Manxi. Looking at her pale face, Song Chen could not describe the feeling in his heart. “Someone will come over to investigate soon. You… you’d better inform the child’s father about this matter.”
Song Chen thought that Gu Chu was the child of Zhao Yan and Gu Manxi.
Gu Manxi did not listen to him. Her mind was filled with thoughts of Chuchu and the Zhao family. She frantically went to look for her phone. Her hands were trembling as she dialled Zhao Yan’s number. She had to tell Zhao Yan about this. She had to make sure that Chuchuw was safe!
Chu Chu was her life!
Doot…
Doot…
It was the longest wait ever.
Song Chen’s eyes darkened. He had countless questions to ask Gu Manxi, but he knew that this was not the right time.
Doot…
Zhao Yan finally picked up the call. Zhao Yan accompanied Lin Xiaozhou to Red Hearts tonight to sign the latest live streaming agreement. The Cheng family’s young master, Cheng Qi, actually personally received him, which surprised Zhao Yan quite a bit.
Halfway through signing the agreement, Zhao Yan suddenly received a call from Gu Manxi.
Zhao Yan asked, “Manxi, Little Zhou and I will be late-”
“Brother, Chuchu, s-she was kidnapped! They wanted ten million before they would let her go. It could be the Zhao family. Yes, it must be Tang Chunxiu. She never liked Chuchu!” Gu Manxi stammered incoherently, she had never been so afraid or so helpless before.
Chuchu was so young and powerless. Anyone could easily end her young and tender life.
Zhao Yan suddenly stood up. “Manxi, don’t be anxious. Take your time.”
Beside him, Cheng Qi and Lin Xiaozhou looked over at the same time.
Lin Xiaozhou scratched his head. “Zhao, did sister Manxi ask us to go home for dinner? Or did Chuchu want to eat some snacks?”
Cheng Qi raised his head slightly and twirled the pen in his hand.
Just as Zhao Yan was about to ask, another man’s calm and collected voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Hello, this is Song Chen. It’s like this…” Song Chen took Gu Manxi’s phone and calmly told him the whole story.
After Zhao Yan heard it, his expression gradually froze.
Zhao Yan said, “Please take Manxi home first. I’ll send you the address. I’ll be right back.”
“Sure.”
Before hanging up, Song Chen suddenly asked, “Mr. Zhao, are you Miss Gu’s brother?”
“Yes, her biological brother. Is there a problem?”
“No problem, see you later.”
—
“Zhao, Zhao, what happened?” Lin Xiaozhou keenly sensed that something was wrong.
Zhao Yan bent down to pick up his jacket. “Chuchu went missing after school today and was kidnapped. The kidnapper asked for a ransom of ten million. Song Chen has already reported it to the police. Let’s go home first to cooperate with the investigation.”
Lin Xiaozhou: !!!
Lin Xiaozhou jumped up. “Let’s go home right now! Which bastard dared to lay their hands on a five-year-old child? It’s simply a sin! Hurry hurry hurry, let’s go back and prepare the ransom!!”
