Xue Ling didn't sleep all night, but she didn't feel very tired, but her face was pale and she looked very haggard.
Cheng Tianyuan went to the kitchen to make a bowl of rice cereal, added a little sugar and salt, and brought it to her to drink.
Xue Ling took him to drink together.
The children were asleep and they didn't speak. However, the couple had a tacit understanding for many years. They didn't need to speak at all and could communicate without any obstacles through their eyes.
They went out to inquire with the police about the progress, and asked the kitchen staff to make a light breakfast, and then went to Xue's parents' room to take care of them.
The old people were all awake, anxious and asking for news about Ran Ran.
Xue Ling smiled slightly: "It's okay. The police have tracked their vehicle and are currently locking the specific direction. I believe Ranran will be rescued soon."
"Really?" Xue's mother asked: "Don't lie to us! Ayuan, is that so? Is that so?"
"Yes." Cheng Tianyuan nodded firmly.
The two old men relaxed and slowly began to change clothes and wash up.
Father Xue couldn't help but ask: "Where are the other children? Have you told them not to go out? In troubled times, you must not run around."
"Yes." Xue's mother reminded: "Don't even go to a familiar place. For work or something, take leave if you can. In this situation, it is useless no matter how much money you make!"
"Everyone is here." Xue Ling explained: "They are all asleep in the living room, no one is missing. Ah Qing didn't go back last night, so he stayed here to help."
Father Xue nodded in approval: "A friend in need is a friend indeed. Ah Qing is a good boy and cares about our family's affairs as his own."
"Xiao Xin didn't go out, did she?" Xue's mother still felt uneasy and reminded: "She must not go out alone. She must call some bodyguards for her in the future. She is a girl, so she should pay more attention to safety."
Cheng Tianyuan helped the old man wipe his hands and said warmly: "I haven't gone out, but I'm still in the living room. Don't worry, from now on everyone will bring bodyguards when they come in and out, and take them with them wherever they go."
"Alas!" Father Xue couldn't help but sigh: "It doesn't matter how many people you bring. The gangsters are obviously well prepared. A dozen people came out at once. Even if we each bring a few bodyguards, it's not enough to compete with others.
"
Xue's mother choked with sobs: "In the final analysis, it is still the fault of the money. If you have less money, it will not be enough to live a good life. If you have more money, it will easily make bad people jealous."
Xue Ling was amused for a while and poured a glass of warm water for the old lady.
"Mom, it's obviously people's fault, how could it be money's fault? Money is just money, and its value is given by us humans. In the final analysis, it's all the human heart that is at work, and the human heart is too greedy."
Mother Xue wiped her tears and whispered: "As I said before, money is all external things. Whatever money can solve, we can solve it if we have money. It is not a difficult thing. As long as we can afford it, we will definitely give it.
"
"That's for sure." Xue Ling said solemnly: "But it is not given casually, and it must not encourage such an evil trend. Therefore, we called the police as soon as possible."
Xue's mother couldn't help but worry: "What if the gangsters find out that we called the police...will it be detrimental to Ranran? Is it kept secret? We must not let the gangsters know!"
"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Cheng Tianyuan assured: "The police will solve the case soon and rescue Ranran."
Xue's father reminded again: "Don't refuse, don't scold, remember to speak to others in a good voice. It doesn't matter how much money you give, the key is not to let the child get hurt."
"Hmm." Xue Ling saw that the old man seemed a little confused and kept repeating the same words over and over again, so he was secretly worried, "Dad, Mom, it's still too early now. Why don't you guys sleep a little longer?"
They are all sleeping outside, so don't go out so as not to wake them up."
"Hey!" The old man still couldn't help but keep talking.
Cheng Tianyuan's fever had just subsided and his mental state was not very good. However, he refused to rest and insisted that he was fine. He stayed with his father-in-law and mother-in-law to take care of him.
The elderly are most likely to be overwhelmed and their mental state is very poor. They chatter over and over again, and then they lie down and fall asleep again.
Cheng Tianyuan was worried, so he turned around and quickly called the family doctor.
After a careful examination, the doctor explained in a low voice: "It was caused by mental depression and they were allowed to fall asleep. Some of the physical signs and data are actually not serious and will not be a problem for the time being."
Cheng Tianyuan asked worriedly: "Do you need any medicine? You look a little confused and your words are weird."
"No need for the time being." The doctor said, "I will observe carefully and arrange medicine for the two elderly people if necessary."
Xue Ling sighed softly: "Let them fall asleep. I need you and the nurse to take care of them."
The couple returned to the living room and found that all the young people were still sleeping, so they quietly went for a walk in the back garden hand in hand.
No one said anything, but they all knew clearly in their hearts that they were exactly the same worried.
There was still a bit of chill in the spring in the early morning. Cheng Tianyuan zipped up his thin coat, then wrapped Xue Ling in a shawl, and then continued walking slowly.
"Dad! Mom!"
Cheng Tianyuan and Xue Ling looked at each other and hurried back to the living room.
Sure enough, the kidnapper called.
"The gang of thugs asked us to transfer one billion US dollars to an international account before three o'clock in the afternoon. They will release the money after the money arrives. If we don't do it, we will be kicked out. They also said that the specific account will be notified to us at any time, so that we can
Be prepared in advance.”
"One billion US dollars?"
"That's right!" Xue Yang yelled: "Isn't this embarrassing? The bad guys are all without brains! Who would save billions of money to go moldy in the bank?! It's only a few hours! How can you be so prepared?
many!"
Cheng Tianyuan frowned and asked: "Daughter-in-law, how much money is there in the public account of the group? Can you go to the group first and move it out?"
Xue Ling whispered: "I'll go ask."
The police on the side reassured them not to be nervous and to wait for the arrest plan to be finalized.
"Are you still not sure which car the eldest brother is in?" Xue Xin choked and asked: "No matter which car he is in, we will intercept and arrest people anyway. Let's rescue the eldest brother first!"
Chen Xinzhi hugged her and comforted her: "It is still unclear where Ran Ran is. The police suspect that the two cars are just a cover-up, and Ran Ran may still be in the imperial capital."
Cheng Huanchong suggested: "Then what should we do? Or we should pay the ransom first to save them from harming my eldest brother!"
Xue Ling whispered: "This amount is too big... It will take a longer time, but now I can't raise so much money in a short while."
"Auntie, don't worry." Lin Qingzhi comforted her gently: "If there is no news before three o'clock in the afternoon, I can help you get the money. Let's not panic, let's cooperate with the police first to see what plan to use.
