Yan Hua thought she heard wrongly...
What do you mean she lost the money?
"Mrs. Lu, I didn't hear what you said clearly. Do you mind saying it again?"
Yuan Li stared at her.
"I asked Mrs. Lang, can you tell the police that you lost the money yourself?"
Yan Hua looked at her like she was an idiot: "Then what? Should I report a false case?"
"Don't worry, I'll talk to the police. As long as you agree, I'll take care of the rest."
"Mrs. Lu..." Yan Hua looked at her deeply, "Did you go out today without taking your medicine? Do you think it's possible?"
A crazy look flashed in Yuan Li's eyes: "How is it impossible! I said, I will handle it from the police. You just need to go and tell them that the money is yours."
Yan Hua looked at her quietly, and after a few seconds, she said, "What's the reason?"
Something is obviously wrong with Yuan Li. If she continues to refuse, I don’t know what will happen. It’s better to listen to what she has to say first...
"My ex-husband is coming back." Yuan Li looked panicked, "The money is for the children, I... I didn't mean not to pay the ransom, I just felt that even if I gave them the money, they wouldn't let him go, I... "
Yan Hua was stunned. Didn't he say that the child was lost? Why is kidnapping involved
"Mrs. Lu, can you explain it clearly from beginning to end?"
Five years ago, Yuan Li just met Lu Youde, and this was her chance. Lu Youde's wife also died not long ago. The important thing is that he didn't have any children yet. She knew that Lu Youde liked her very much, but she was worried that he would not accept her son.
"You should know that those rich families pay more attention to blood relations. If they know that I have a son, I'm afraid I won't be able to be Mrs. Lu." Yuan Li's eyes were a little dazed, she seemed to be lost in memories.
"I took him to get vaccinated. When I got out of the car, I turned around and he was gone." Yuan Li suddenly started crying. "I looked everywhere but couldn't find him. When I got home at night, I got a call that someone had kidnapped him. My son asked me to give him 3 million yuan before releasing him."
"I said I didn't have that much money even if I sold myself, but he said my husband did. I said he had died long ago, but the other party told me that he made a lot of money doing business with himself abroad and wanted to keep it all to himself."
When the man found out that he had a wife and son in China, he ran back and planned to kidnap his son to get the money back.
"That's when I found out that he was not dead. The next day I received a call from him saying that he would not be able to come back for the time being. He told me that he had transferred money to me and asked me to give the money to that person to save my son."
Yuan Li thought he had made a fortune and asked him to come back. But the man said that this was all his money, and it would be gone if he gave it to her, and he would earn it again.
"I went to the bank to withdraw the money, 600,000 US dollars!" Yuan Li smiled, "This is the first time in my life that I have seen so much money..."
When Yan Hua heard this, she probably understood a little bit, and her heart felt like a stone was weighing on her: "You didn't give the money to the kidnappers, and you didn't save your only son."
"I... I just hesitated for a moment, and then... I wanted to save him!" Yuan Li said hurriedly, "He is the meat that fell out of my ten-month pregnancy. How could I..."
"But you are hopeless." Yan Hua looked at her coldly, "Do you think that if he is rejected, you will no longer have this trouble, and you will be able to marry into a wealthy family and become a rich wife from now on."
It turned out that she did not abandon the child, but allowed the one-year-old baby to be killed.
"You didn't call the police after that. Instead, you took the money and married your current husband." Yan Hua stood up and said, "Mrs. Lu, everyone pays for their coffee today. Goodbye. No! Never see you again. "
Yuan Li hurriedly leaned over to catch her, Yanhua dodged and turned around, but Yuan Li pounced on her.
"You can't leave! I've told you everything. If you don't help me, you can't leave." After saying that, she scratched Yan Hua's face, but someone grabbed her arm in mid-air.
"Mr. Lang... Mr. Lang?" Yuan Li saw the person clearly and stammered.
Lang Ruoxian stopped Yan Hua behind him: "Mrs. Lu, what do you want to do?"
"I... misunderstood!" Yuan Li calmed down and said quickly, "I wanted to see Mrs. Lang out."
She didn't dare to offend Lang Ruoxian, and Lu Youde would be angry if she knew about it.
Yan Hua glanced at Yuan Li one last time: "I won't help you, and I have no obligation to help you. Please don't look for me in the future, or I will call the police."
"Lang Tai..." Yuan Li swallowed her last words under Lang Ruoxian's eyes.
I could only watch them leave and then fall into the chair.
Yan Hua saw Lang Ruoxian taking the driver's keys and looked at him: "You're not going to work?"
"I have nothing to do in the afternoon. I'll talk about it after I take you back."
As the car slowly left the company, Yan Hua sorted things out.
"Five years ago, she wanted to remarry, but her one-year-old son became a drag. At this time, her ex-husband, who was thought to be dead, made a fortune abroad and offended her business partners."
"In order to ask for money, his partner ran back to China and kidnapped his son. His ex-husband gave Yuan Li 3 million as a ransom for his son. But Yuan Li did not give the kidnapper the money, so you can imagine what happened to the child."
She tilted her head: "She wanted me to recognize the money there and then tell her ex-husband that the money was given to the kidnappers, but they didn't keep their promise and broke up."
Seeing the expression on her face, Lang Ruoxian praised her: "The analysis is very thorough, that's probably it."
"perhaps?"
"I'm going to check what happened back then to see if there are any traces. Because according to the information returned from the previous investigation, her sister-in-law always said that the child was lost, but she said that the child was in the hands of the kidnappers."
"You think she's lying?"
"It's not like that." Lang Ruoxian saw her frowning and smiled, "Don't think about it, wait until I find out."
When Yuan Li returned home, her nanny greeted her with her three-year-old son in her arms.
"Xiaobao, are you good today? Did you have a good meal?" She gave birth to a son in the second year after marrying Lu Youde. Lu Youde was so old that he wanted to pamper her to heaven. In the past few years, he had kept himself clean and sent him to his door. No girls have been touched.
Yuan Li hugged her son over, her face expressionless, but in her heart she wanted to bite Yanhua to death. She refused to help with things that were obviously easy for her to do. If that man really comes back and his sister is telling him something, the man's temperament will definitely kill him.
"Madam? Madam?" the nanny called her several times.
Yuan Li came back to her senses: "What's wrong?"
"A gentleman called you this afternoon and said he was an old friend abroad." After the nanny finished speaking, she saw Yuan Li's face change.
"When? What did he say?"
"Wow... it hurts..." The child in her arms was held too tightly by her and she couldn't help but cry.
Yuan Li quickly put him on the ground: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Mom didn't mean it."
After coaxing her son, Yuan Li asked the nanny carefully, but the nanny could only say a few words.
An old friend from abroad returned to China and wanted to meet her.
"Didn't he leave any contact information?"
The nanny pointed to the notepad next to the phone: "Keep it, I'll write it down on it."
"I know, let's take Xiaobao to dinner..." Yuan Li went upstairs alone with a piece of paper with a phone number written on it. She stared at the number for a long time without daring to dial it out.
But she didn't dare to delay any longer. It would be more troublesome if the man called at night when Lu Youde was around. Yuan Li gritted her teeth and dialed the number. After a few beeps, a familiar voice came from the other side.
"Hello!"
"Li Yi, is that you?"
"It's me." The man's voice didn't change much, but it sounded cold.
Yuan Li closed her eyes: "You know everything, right..."
"Where is my son?" Li Yi asked, "My sister said you lost your son."
"No, no, no, it's not like that!" Yuan Li said quickly, squeezing out her eyes and making her voice sob as if she was very sad, "I gave the money to the kidnappers, but the kidnappers lied to me. They said they threw their son on the road. I looked for it but there was none nearby. I searched for several days... "
"Why didn't you tell me?" Li Yi asked her, "I clearly told you to call me after you rescued your son, why didn't you call?"
Yuan Li started crying: "I called, but your phone has been unreachable. I want to tell you that I'm getting married and I can't contact you. What can I do? I'm also very sad that my son has been lost. I haven't had a moment in these years. Don’t blame yourself.”
"My sister said that you got married a few days after losing your son. Do you have time to blame yourself?" Li Yi's voice was obviously angry. After all, she had lived with him for several years, and Yuan Li knew that he was angry.
"Li Yi, can this be all my fault? If you hadn't run out, my son wouldn't have been kidnapped. If you had come back at that time, none of these things would have happened."
She sobbed twice: "I know what your sister said about me. In the past few years, she has never stopped scolding me. She said that I deliberately lost my son because I was greedy for wealth, and that I was not worthy of being a mother."
"But let me ask you, if you came back when I asked you to come back, would these things still happen? You said I was greedy for wealth. Didn't you also say you wanted to make a fortune when you stayed abroad? Where is the wealth you have made now?"
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a moment, only the sound of heavy breathing.
"Okay, I will investigate this matter. If it is true as you said, I will agree to your husband's cooperative project."
"What cooperation project? Yuan Li was stunned when a beeping sound came from the phone.
Hang up.
During dinner in the evening, Yuan Li pretended to be casual and asked about Lu Youde's company. Lu Youde didn't think much and then talked about several recent projects.
"Returned overseas Chinese?" Yuan Li heard this word.
"My name is Li Yi. I heard that in the past few times when I went out to work, I didn't show a penny, and I am a model for overseas Chinese businessmen today..." Lu Youde was talking to himself, not noticing that his wife's face suddenly turned ugly.
On the Lang family side, Lang Ruoxian also got Li Yi's information, and he took it back to show it to Yan Hua.
"Do you think it's possible that the little baby was still alive?" Yan Hua wanted to help only that innocent baby from beginning to end, and Li Yi and Yuan Li were both indifferent.
