Song Qiao was so panicked that she suddenly caught the man's gaze and realized something instantly. She clenched her fists and raised her hands to wipe away her tears, trying to calm herself down.
"You want to use the child to threaten me?" Her eyes were calm, without the panic he wanted to see.
The man noticed her change and became more and more irritable. He brought the blade closer to Xiaotang's neck. As he moved, a thin line of blood flowed down the tip of the knife.
Song Qiao watched quietly without any reaction at all.
After a while, she even smiled slightly, "Do you want to use this boring method to see me at a loss, and then beg you to let them go?"
The kidnapper said nothing and looked at her in confusion.
Song Qiao reached out and tucked the loose hair behind her ears, "It seems that he is right. You are just a poor thing who wants to get attention. Apart from this dirty trick, you have no other choice?"
She looked at the kidnapper with a calm expression. When she didn't speak, she clenched her teeth. Soon, a fishy rusty smell spread in her mouth.
Song Qiao forced herself to look away from the child and only focus on the kidnapper, her head frantically advising herself to calm down over and over again.
Gu Jingting didn't expect that Song Qiao could really remain calm in this situation, and there was rarely any surprise in his eyes.
The kidnapper was furious and wanted Song Qiao to shut up, but the more anxious he became, the less complete he could say. He wanted to attack Xiaotang, but hesitated and did not continue.
Song Qiao's heart also fluctuated with his actions, and he saw flaws at the same time.
It seems that he is still afraid of death!
The kidnappers didn't kill him right away, probably because they were afraid of losing their bargaining chip and not having the chance to negotiate with them anymore. However, he still wanted to bury the kid with him. Two completely opposite thoughts kept colliding in his mind, giving Song Qiao a chance.
Gu Jingting also noticed this and said, "If you let them go now, I can send you to the top hospital abroad for treatment, and you may not have a chance of surviving."
"Stop fooling me!" the kidnapper retorted fiercely, "My disease is terminal cancer. The doctor has long given me a death sentence."
Gu Jingting's expression remained unchanged, "At least we can find a way to delay it. There is a difference between living for three days and living for three months."
Song Qiao continued, "Besides, you probably don't have the financial resources to support the best treatment. As long as you have money, there is no problem in delaying the condition for a while."
Their firm words gave the kidnappers hope, "Really?"
If you can live, who wants to die?
The kidnapper loosened his grip on Xiaotang and leaned forward, like a drowning man holding onto a piece of driftwood. "Do you mean what you say?"
Gu Jingting's eyes fell on him for two seconds, and then he looked past him.
When the kidnapper was unconscious, the bodyguard he brought had already rushed to the roof, slid down the wall, and was quietly lurking outside, preparing to launch an attack.
He nodded gently and said in a slow tone, "Of course...it's true."
The moment the last word was spoken, the bodyguard rushed in, kicked the kidnapper to the ground, then rolled to his side and restrained him neatly.
Xiaotang fell to the ground, quickly got up and rushed to Qiqi's side, comforting her in a low voice, "It's okay, it's okay, Mommy and I are both here."
Qiqi was trembling with fear, her eyes were red, "Well..."
Seeing that the crisis was over, Song Qiao's strength immediately relaxed. Her feet gave way and she almost fell to the ground. However, Gu Jingting had quick eyes and quick hands to pick her up.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
Song Qiao shook his head, rushed to the two children, hugged them tightly in his arms, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, mommy was late, are you hurt?"
She checked both of them carefully to make sure there were no obvious injuries, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
Qiqi and Xiaotang were so frightened that they threw themselves into her arms and refused to come out, "Mommy, you scared us to death. That bad guy suddenly rushed in from outside the door and knocked down Aunt Momo."
"By the way, where's Aunt Momo? Is she okay?"
Song Qiao shook her head, "Don't worry, she'll be fine. She just needs to be hospitalized for a few days. I'll take you over to see her tomorrow."
"good."
They both nodded.
Gu Jingting came over and stretched out his hand towards her, "The child is frightened. It's better to send him to the hospital for examination first. I'll hold it for you."
Song Qiao was completely exhausted at this moment, and it was true that she couldn't hold the two children.
Qiqi was so frightened today that she stayed in Song Qiao's arms and refused to go out. However, Xiaotang had contact with him several times and took the initiative to reach out to him, "Hug me."
Gu Jingting easily carried him into his arms.
He didn't feel it before, but now when he hugged him, he found that he was very small, lying in his arms, so light that it seemed like he wasn't there at all. He frowned, secretly wondering if he was usually a picky eater.
"Uncle Gu, why are you here?" Xiaotang was surprised to see Gu Jingting.
Gu Jingting felt something was wrong for no reason. He frowned and thought for a moment, then realized, "Why don't you call me dad now?"
Xiaotang lay on his shoulder and said in a low voice, "You are not my father, so you can't scream randomly."
"Why didn't you have this awareness before?" After hearing this, Gu Jingting felt inexplicably angry.
Xiaotang explained seriously, "My sister and I admitted our mistake before, but later we found out that you were indeed not. I'm sorry, Uncle Gu, for causing trouble to you."
Gu Jingting listened to his loud mouth and felt that something was wrong.
His face turned even colder, "Oh? Then tell me how you found out that you were wrong."
Xiaotang curled his lips and whispered, "My father would not treat me like that. He would let me ride a big horse and hold me to play, and he would not say that I am just an insignificant child."
Even if Gu Jingting really is, in his heart, he has been excluded.
Anyway, there are a lot of good men in the world, so he and Qiqi can choose a husband with a good temper, good looks and money for mommy, and then they can call her daddy.
Gu Jingting was a little angry and couldn't vent his anger.
Logically speaking, if Xiaotang can think this way, he will avoid a lot of trouble. As for the so-called riding a big horse, it is even less likely for him to do it.
But for no apparent reason, Gu Jingting began to feel unhappy.
When he thought about these two little ones turning around to call other men "Dad", he felt the urge to destroy the world. This kind of mentality was really wrong.
Gu Jingting had a sullen face and put Xiaotang into the car. He turned around and saw Song Qiao coming from behind. Without thinking much, he stepped forward and reached out to pick it up.
Song Qiao shook her head and whispered, "She is scared now and refuses to be hugged."
She said and continued walking forward.
Suddenly, Qiqi, who had been lying quietly on Song Qiao's shoulder just now, shook her whole body, and her nose began to bleed continuously. She raised her head in a daze and said, "Mom, Qiqi feels uncomfortable."
Song Qiao turned around and saw the scarlet blood flowing down like water, turning her shoulders red in the blink of an eye, and her head went blank with fear.
Qiqi's illness has broken out!
She realized this, rushed to the car like crazy, and yelled at Gu Jingting, "Go to the hospital, quickly!" After saying that, she lowered her head and shook her hands to wipe the blood on her cheek, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here.
