After Xu Chenyu's rescue team left, the Wen family fell into complete silence. It was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard. The rescue workers who stayed behind were on standby at their positions. Only the wall clock kept ticking, and the clear sound echoed in the house, one after another, with a rhythm, as if beating the eardrums and knocking on the heart.
Grandpa Wen and Grandpa Mo sat on the sofa, anxiously waiting for news. The fruits, snacks and tea in front of them were not even touched.
I just feel that every minute and every second is unbearable.
Fear, anxiety, worry, and fear, all kinds of emotions were playing out on them one by one.
Wen Haowen originally felt it was a pity that he failed to reveal the military news, but thinking about what Xu Chenyu had said before and looking at such a situation, he really felt that Wen Wenya would be in great danger this time.
In this way, he is the only heir of the Wen family, and everything in the Wen family belongs to him.
The servants under guard looked at the soldiers in camouflage uniforms in front of them, with solemn expressions and neat uniforms holding guns. They had never seen such a scene before and were so scared that they stayed where they were, not daring to even breathe.
But the kidnapping of the eldest daughter still touched the hearts of many people, such as Wang Ma and Wu Ma...
"Ring—" A crisp ring tone suddenly rang, which seemed a bit sharp and piercing in the dead silent living room, and instantly broke the silence and solemnity in the room.
However, the ringing of the bell did not relieve the stagnation in the living room. Instead, it made the atmosphere even more tense and urgent, just like the rapid ringing of the bell. The atmosphere of tension and anxiety spread instantly.
The ringtone touched everyone's heart.
This is most likely a ransom call from the kidnappers.
Old Master Wen prepared to take it with trembling hands, his lips quivering, and a look of inexplicable fear.
"Wait!" Xiao Huang quickly stopped Grandpa Wen, made a gesture to the assisting investigation team, and instantly started the signal connection detection.
Xiao Huang pointed at Wang Ma on the ground and said, "You come answer the phone and try to stay calm. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong, it may affect your young lady's life safety."
It was so late, the owner of the house must be resting. If Mr. Wen answered the phone, those cunning thugs would probably notice something was wrong.
Mother Wang stood up slowly from the ground, trembling. Her body was shaky and she almost fell to the ground.
Soon, Wang's mother walked to the phone, took a deep breath and answered the phone: "Hello! This is the old house of the Wen family."
When Xiao Huang heard her relatively calm voice, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and nodded secretly. Captain Xu's orders were indeed correct.
Xia Ruya, who was on the other end of the line, recognized the voice as Wang Ma's. She listened carefully to the noise on the other end of the line and said, "Wang Ma, it's me."
The man asked her to cooperate with them, keep an eye on the situation of the Wen family, and report to him at any time. Naturally, she did not dare to refuse. At this point, she had no way out. She only hoped that the other party could successfully get the ransom and then kill Wen Xinya, so that she could get away with it.
Wang Ma's servant's room is closest to the living room. Normally, if the owner of the Wen residence is not at home, the phone calls are answered by several fixed servants, and Wang Ma is one of them. It seems that the Wen family still doesn't know that Wen Wenya has been kidnapped.
Mother Wang heaved a sigh of relief and said quickly, "It's Miss Xia! What's the matter that Miss Xia called so late at night?"
Although it was Xia Ruya's call, no one dared to be careless.
Xia Ruya said softly, "Mother Wang, my passport is missing. Can you go to the room I stayed in before and look for it? I booked a flight to France the day after tomorrow, but when I was packing my things at night, I found that I couldn't find my passport. I looked everywhere I could, and the only place I could find it was the Wen family... If I apply for a new one, I won't have enough time."
Her passport was indeed left at the Wen family. She had been thinking of applying for a new one, but the current situation was just right for her to use it as a cover-up. In addition, she was indeed planning to go to France for a while after Wen Xinya's incident was resolved in order to clear herself. Using this excuse at this time was perfect.
Mother Wang didn't dare to agree easily and looked at Xiao Huang.
Xiao Huang gave him an OK gesture.
Mother Wang then said, "Okay, I'll help you take a look."
Xia Ruya said happily: "Mother Wang, thank you, I will call you tomorrow. If I find it, I will come directly to pick it up tomorrow."
That group of people will call the Wen family to demand a ransom soon, and she can use this as an excuse to enter the Wen family tomorrow to see what the situation is.
Xiao Huang nodded at Wang Ma.
Wang Ma said: "Okay!"
Xia Ruya said politely, "Mother Wang, I'm so sorry to bother you so late."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Huang accompanied Wang's mother upstairs to the room where Xia Ruya had lived before to look for her passport.
Sure enough, Xia Ruya's passport was found in the folder under the dressing table. Xiao Huang asked them to check the Aviation Bureau and found that Xia Ruya had indeed booked a flight to France.
The possibility that Xia Ruya was related to the kidnapping case was ruled out.
Soon, another rapid ringtone rang. This time it was Grandpa Wen's cell phone, calling from Xinya's cell phone.
Mr. Wen looked at the vibrating phone on the table. With his thin hands trembling, he held the phone in his hand and picked it up at Xiao Huang's signal: "Hello, Xinya, what do you want to talk to me about so late at night?"
Mr. Wen's voice was very natural and calm.
"Mr. Wen, Miss Wen is in my hands now. If you want her to live, transfer 100 million US dollars to the bank account of XXXXX before dawn tomorrow. If you dare to call the police, I will make sure she never sees the sun tomorrow."
A cruel, cold voice rang out in the living room. Old Master Wen trembled all over and could hardly hold the phone. He trembled and said, "You... who are you? You kidnapped Xinya?"
The other party did not answer, and then there was a sound of punching and kicking from the other end of the phone, and Wen Xinya's screams of pain were transmitted through the phone into Grandpa Wen's ears.
Mr. Wen suddenly stood up from the sofa and shouted excitedly: "Don't... don't hurt my granddaughter, don't hurt her, you want 100 million US dollars, right? I will transfer it to your account before dawn, please don't hurt my granddaughter, don't..."
“Beep, beep, beep…”
A crisp hang-up tone sounded in the living room, and Mr. Wen sat down dejectedly on the sofa. Thinking of Xinya who had just been beaten by thugs, his heart felt like it was stabbed by a knife.
Mr. Mo's situation was no better than his. He had also heard what had happened on the phone just now, thinking about that girl Xinya, who was the most pampered girl on weekdays. She would act like a spoiled brat and act pitiful whenever she felt a little pain. She couldn't bear the pain at all. She had been punished to copy the Mo family precepts before, and afterwards she kept complaining about her sore hands. In fact, most of the family precepts were written by Si Jiu.
