Mu Jinyun's expression changed, and she shouted in shock, "Dad? Is it really you?"
After she finished speaking, she looked up at Mu Tingxiao: "Tingxiao, it's dad who called."
"Oh." Mu Tingxiao walked over and sat down on the sofa opposite her.
Mu Jinyun thought Mu Tingxiao wanted to hear Mu Qingfeng speak, so she turned on the speakerphone.
Mu Qingfeng's voice came from the phone, extremely panicked: "Jinyun, I have been kidnapped. They want 300 million. They can let me go as long as 300 million... You help dad raise money..."
Before Mu Qingfeng finished speaking, the phone was snatched away. The speaker's voice was strange and hoarse. It was obvious that the kidnapper had used a voice changer: "If you don't see 300 million in twenty-four hours, then Wait to collect his body! Remember, no police are allowed."
Mu Jinyun said quickly: "Okay, okay, three hundred million, I know, I will definitely raise three hundred million, don't... beep!"
Before she could finish her words, the call was hung up.
"Dad was really kidnapped? If I hadn't happened to come back and received a call from the kidnapper, you wouldn't have told me? You wouldn't have planned to save dad, right?"
Mu Jinyun's tone was very exciting: "Mu Tingxiao, why are you so cold-blooded? No matter how much grudges you have with him, he is our biological father!"
Regarding Mu Jinyun's accusation, Mu Tingxiao's expression did not change.
He looked at Mu Jinyun, but he said to Shi Ye: "Did you hear that? She wants 300 million to save her father, why don't you hurry up and make arrangements."
"Yes." Shiye responded and went out.
"Ting Xiao, you... I was just too worried about dad." Mu Jinyun didn't expect Mu Ting Xiao to agree to give her 300 million so simply.
Mu Tingxiao just curled his lips with unknown meaning and did not speak.
At this time, Mu Jiachen walked in from outside carrying a schoolbag.
Mu Jiachen attended a boarding school this semester. It was a very strict school with military-style management. He had to turn in his mobile phone at school. It wasn't until today's holiday that he saw the news.
"Cousin, cousin!"
As soon as Mu Jiachen entered the door, he saw Mu Jinyun and Mu Tingxiao: "I saw on the news that my uncle was kidnapped? You also found Sister Qingning!"
When Mu Jinyun heard Mu Jiachen mention "Qing Ning", she turned to Mu Tingxiao and asked, "Who is Qing Ning?"
Mu Tingxiao stood up and looked at Mu Jiachen with a slightly serious expression: "Come with me. I have something to tell you."
"Cousin, what happened?" Mu Nuannuan was often in the news before, so in Mu Jiachen's subconscious, he felt that most of the things on the news were false.
Mu Tingxiao handed Mu Lian's condition diagnosis to Mu Jiachen: "Look at this first."
Mu Jiachen took it and saw the name "Mu Lian" written on it. He was stunned for a moment before continuing to read.
Seeing the back, he fell completely silent.
Mu Tingxiao didn't say anything to comfort him, but told him in a very calm tone: "My aunt loves my uncle very much. Her mental state has not been very good recently. It wasn't until a servant found out that she wanted to commit suicide by hitting the wall that we Realizing the seriousness of the matter, we sent someone to take her to the hospital.”
Mu Jiachen raised his head, his eyes red: "Where is she now?"
Mu Tingxiao noticed Mu Jiachen's clenched fists.
His eyebrows were still calm and cold: "She is emotionally unstable. I sent someone to the hospital. There are professional doctors there. I believe they will help her condition. You can go see her when you have time."
It was rare for Mu Tingxiao to have the patience to say so many words to people other than Mu Nuannuan.
To him, Mu Jiachen was always different from other Mu family members.
As Mr. Mu said, Mu Jiachen was a sincere child, and Mu Tingxiao watched him grow up, but after all, he couldn't bear to tell him the truth.
Things about Mu Lian and Mu Qingfeng.
The death of Si Minghuan.
Let these cruel truths remain a secret.
Mu Jiachen wiped away his tears: "Cousin, thank you, uncle's matter..."
Mu Tingxiao interrupted him: "That is our adults' business."
Mu Tingxiao sent someone to send Mu Jiachen to see Mu Lian, and then sent him directly back to school.
There are a lot of things going on in the Mu family these days, so it would be better for Mu Jiachen to stay in school.
After arranging these things, Mu Tingxiao sat in the study for a while before going out.
Looking down from the second floor, Mu Jinyun was still on the phone in the lobby on the first floor.
Mu Tingxiao turned around and returned to the room, and as expected, he saw Mu Nuannuan leaning on the bed, lost in thought.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Mu Nuannuan looked up at him: "He's back."
In just one week, Mu Nuannuan lost a lot of weight, her chin became more pointed, and her complexion became paler.
Mu Tingxiao reached out and pinched her pointed chin with his fingers. Without daring to exert any force, he said with a serious face: "If you keep losing weight like this, I won't take you there."
"Mu Tingxiao..." Mu Nuannuan's expression changed slightly and she pulled his hand.
Instead, Mu Tingxiao talked about another thing: "Xiao Chen is back."
Mu Nuannuan's expression paused: "You..."
As if he knew what Mu Nuannuan would ask, Mu Tingxiao said, "I didn't say anything."
Mu Nuannuan nodded.
She thought that Mu Tingxiao and Si Chengyu were destined to be different people.
After Si Chengyu learned about his life experience, he only thought about how to drag others to hell together and suffer together, but Mu Tingxiao couldn't bear to let Mu Jiachen know the truth.
People are not born with the same kind of people, so no matter what methods Si Chengyu uses, he can't turn Mu Tingxiao into someone like him.
…
Shiye helped Mu Jinyun raise 300 million.
Halfway through, the kidnappers called again and said they wanted some cash and some gold bars...
Mu Tingxiao said nothing and ordered Shiye to do it.
The kidnappers called again, and Mu Jinyun was driven out of patience by them: "Is the head office ready this time? We have prepared everything for you."
But the kidnapper seemed to be having fun: "Let's do this, add another 50 million in cash, and I will let the old man go!"
Mu Jinyun did not expect that the other party would temporarily increase the price and tried to deal with them: "Didn't we agree..."
But the kidnapper didn't give her any room: "Before dark, if you don't see the money, I will ask someone to send one of his hands over."
As soon as the kidnapper hung up the phone, Mu Jinyun ran to Mu Tingxiao and said, "Tingxiao, what should we do now?"
Mu Tingxiao said calmly: "Their appetite will only get bigger and bigger, and they will not be satisfied. Call the police."
Mu Jinyun also felt that what Mu Tingxiao said was reasonable. The kidnappers were sure that they did not dare to call the police, so they opened their mouths.
However, they only called the police in front of them, and before it got dark, they received an arm from Mu Qingfeng.
Mu Jinyun was so frightened that she fainted.
The kidnapper's phone call came at this time.
Mu Qingfeng's horrified voice sounded on the other end of the phone: "Tingxiao, they only want 50 million in cash, please help me, I don't want to die!"
