When Mu Tingxiao heard this, he just said calmly: "Yes, they just want 50 million in cash. They wanted 100 million back then."
Mu Qingfeng was too frightened and could not speak clearly: "Yes, yes... they just want 50 million in cash, just give it to them..."
Mu Tingxiao was his only life-saving straw now, and he could only hold on to Mu Tingxiao tightly.
"Then why didn't you give out that 100 million back then?" Mu Tingxiao's voice sounded sinister, like a devil crawling out of hell.
"Ting Xiao... Ting Xiao, I am your father, please help me..." Mu Qingfeng's only thought at this time was to beg Mu Tingxiao.
"Back then, if you had ever cared about the relationship between husband and wife, my mother would not have ended up like that! Mu Qingfeng, this is your retribution!"
Every word Mu Tingxiao said was squeezed out from between his teeth. After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone with a bang.
It was already dusk.
All the servants were kicked out, and the hall was dark, as the lights were not turned on.
In the huge living room, apart from Mu Tingxiao and Shi Ye who stood quietly behind him, there was only Mu Jinyun who had fainted.
Mu Tingxiao maintained a posture and sat there motionless, as if to blend in with the coming night.
After a long time, Shiye called out worriedly: "Master."
Mu Nuannuan didn't know when she came down from upstairs.
She walked over lightly, and Shiye quickly covered the severed arm sent by the kidnapper: "Young Madam."
Mu Nuannuan ordered: "Help Miss Mu back to the room, I am here."
Shiye took Mu Jinyun and the broken arm away.
Mu Nuannuan sat down next to Mu Tingxiao.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and she could no longer see Mu Tingxiao's face clearly in the room where the lights were not turned on.
Mu Nuannuan reached out to hold his face, turned his face to face him: "Mu Tingxiao."
Mu Tingxiao turned his head and hugged Mu Nuannuan forcefully into his arms, but he still did not forget to avoid the unhealed injury on Mu Nuannuan's shoulder.
Mu Nuannuan reached out and patted Mu Tingxiao's back gently. At this time, any words of comfort were unnecessary.
She could feel Mu Tingxiao's suppressed breathing as he sprayed heavily on her neck.
"My mother is a very gentle and beautiful woman. She is better than anyone else." Mu Tingxiao's voice was hoarse and painful.
Mu Nuannuan's eyes were slightly wet: "I know."
She knew what an outstanding woman Mu Tingxiao's mother was. She was a famous lady from a scholarly family. She thought she was marrying the right man, but she died tragically in that way.
This is so unfair.
The most innocent people have to endure the most pain and suffering.
"How could they do it?"
Mu Nuannuan couldn't see Mu Tingxiao's face, but she could feel the helplessness and pain in his words.
After many years, his mother Jingshu was a thorn in his heart, which hurt whenever he moved.
Even if Mu Tingxiao's mother really died in a kidnapping case, Mu Tingxiao would not be so painful.
Mu Nuannuan couldn't answer Mu Tingxiao's question.
There is no solution to his problem.
She was not Mu Qingfeng or Mu Lian, so she couldn't guess what their mentality was when they did this.
Even an outsider like herself finds it difficult to accept this. She can't imagine how painful Mu Tingxiao is now.
She hugged Mu Tingxiao tightly and said in a serious and firm tone: "You still have me, and Mu Mu. Our family will be reunited soon. If your mother knows that you are living a happy life, she will also be happy. Yes, she loves you very much."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt warm liquid fall into her neck.
Mu Nuannuan did not dare to move anymore and was speechless.
…
The next day.
Mu Nuannuan and Mu Tingxiao set off to the island Si Chengyu mentioned.
The island is surrounded by the sea and has beautiful scenery. It takes a day and a night to fly from Huyang City to it.
Before leaving, Mu Nuannuan saw the new headlines.
"The kidnapped Mu Qingfeng was found and sent to the hospital for rescue early this morning, and his life is no longer in danger."
Mu Nuannuan glanced at the news briefly, then closed the web page, put her phone away, and raised her eyes to look at Mu Tingxiao sitting opposite.
She and Mu Tingxiao sat in the lobby for a long time last night, and then she fell asleep. When she woke up again, she was already on the plane.
Mu Tingxiao was still wearing a tall suit as usual, holding a stack of information in his hand, his lowered eyebrows were cold and indifferent, not showing any signs of depression.
This man's self-regulation ability is astonishingly strong.
"It seems that I am more attractive than breakfast." Mu Tingxiao put down the information in his hand and looked up at her: "You stared at me for two minutes and didn't eat a bite of breakfast."
Mu Nuannuan was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head to pick up the bun and took a bite before saying, "I didn't know you had a private jet before."
This time, they took Mu Tingxiao's private jet.
Mu Tingxiao lowered his head and continued to read the information in his hand: "If you like it, I will buy one for you when I get back."
Mu Nuannuan ate two buns and stopped moving. She sat next to him and read the information with him.
Mu Tingxiao was looking at some information about the island and Si Chengyu's various movements in the past six months.
When Si Chengyu wrote him the address, he not only sent someone to keep an eye on Si Chengyu, but also sent someone to go to the island first.
But except for the house and a few servants guarding the house, Mu Mu was not found on the island.
Mu Nuannuan twitched the corner of her mouth and said with worry: "Si Chengyu is too cunning, I always feel that it won't go so smoothly."
"Do you believe me?" Mu Tingxiao put down the information in his hand and reached out to pull her into his arms.
Mu Nuannuan raised her head and said word for word: "No matter what time, I believe in you."
Mu Tingxiao brushed the hair beside her ears: "Then don't think blindly."
Mu Nuannuan nodded and turned to look out the window, but her uneasiness did not diminish.
She took a deep breath and stood up: "I'm going to see Miss Su."
Mu Tingxiao seemed to notice her uneasiness, so he didn't say anything more, just nodded and let her go.
When Mu Nuannuan passed by, she saw Su Qingning sitting by the window, looking peaceful and beautiful.
Mu Nuannuan called out: "Miss Su."
Su Qingning looked back at her: "Young Madam."
"Sorry, I don't know what your original name was." Mu Nuannuan couldn't imagine what a woman would go through if she was willing to undergo plastic surgery to look like another woman.
Su Qingning looked indifferent: "It doesn't matter what my original name was. What's important is that the young master helped me, and my existence can help you find the little lady."
