Mu Chen understood Song Ning’s feelings. He gently patted her back before he pulled away and patiently explained to her and Jiahui, “When Ye Cheng was in trouble, the police in S City and M City were implicated. The dust has yet to settle so we can’t place our hopes on them.”
“The kidnapper made many demands. Think about it. The 200 million isn’t their goal. What they want is Cheng Che, the Ning family, and Zhuang Ji’s embroidery manual. With this, it’s easy to determine that the people behind this are the Yin family and Ning Dong.”
“We’ve reached the final stage, and everyone has shed their pretenses. Those two from the Yin family must be on the brink of death so their desperate. They’re left with no other choice; that’s why they’re so crazy. Under such circumstances, we can’t go head-to-head with them. They think that by capturing Mu Lang and Grandma, they’ve grasped our weak point. Let them think so for now.”
“Cheng Che has already tracked down the general location of where the call was made from earlier. He and I will split into two groups. He’ll go to the hospital. Since they’ve chosen that hospital, the two young masters from the Yin family must be there as well. Since they dare to target Cheng Che, we’ll target those two as well. As for me, I’ll bring people to save Grandma and Mu Lang.”
Jiahui and Song Ning nodded.
After a moment, Song Ning asked anxiously, “Didn’t you say before that Ning Dong knows many criminals? Won’t all of you be in danger? Can your men do it without the police’s help?”
Cheng Che’s eyes were wet as he said, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry. We’ll be careful!”
“Cheng Che! You must stay safe! All of you must stay safe!” Song Ning said. Then, she suddenly grabbed Mu Chen and said, “I want to go with you!”
Inspired, Jiahui also grabbed Cheng Che and said, “I want to go with you too!”
Mu Chen and Cheng Che looked troubled.
Song Ning said firmly, “I must go with you! I won’t cause any trouble for you so you have to bring me! I want to see Grandma and the baby!”
Jiahui looked at Cheng Che and said earnestly, “Cheng Che, if we live, we must live together. If we die, we must die together!”
Song Ning hurriedly grabbed Jiahui. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Cheng Che gently pulled Jiahui’s hand that was grabbed by Song Ning before he said, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry. I won’t die! Jiahui, I still want to marry you. I still want to see you in a beautiful wedding dress! I won’t die!”
Jiahui’s eyes reddened at once.
Song Ning gritted her teeth and said, “Bring Jiahui with you. With her, no matter what happens, you won’t risk her safety, and you won’t be able to risk your life! Let her accompany you!” Then, she turned to Mu Chen and said, “The same goes for you! I don’t want you to risk your life! You can risk your life! I won’t allow it!”
The two brothers looked at each other.
Mu Che finally nodded and said, “Alright. With both of you by our sides, we’ll feel at ease as well. Let’s split up.”
Cheng Che raised his hand to look at the time. He held Jiahui’s hand and said, “Okay, Brother, Sister-in-law, we’ll take our leave first. Both of you have to be safe!”
“Cheng Che!” Mu Chen called out before he added gently, “Be safe! We’ll all have a family dinner after this!”
Cheng Che did not turn around as he said resolutely, “Okay! I’ll leave Grandma and the baby to both of you!”
They had never taken the initiative to provoke others, but it did not mean they were afraid to retaliate.
…
Ning Dong sat in the Yin family’s secret conference room. His phone was on speaker mode, and his subordinate was reporting to him.
“Young Master Ning, Cheng Che has left the house. He’s heading to the hospital we’ve chosen. He brought his girlfriend as well. He dismissed the driver and is driving there. He doesn’t even have any bodyguards with him.”
Ning Dong smiled as he looked at Old Master Yin. “Brother Cheng is really a man of his word.”
Old Master Yin did not say anything.
The subordinate continued to say, “Young Master Ning, Mu Chen has also left. Judging from the route, he should be heading to the bank. He’s probably trying to cash out the money.”
Ning Dong tapped his fingers lightly on the table as he asked, “Have you seen Song Ning?”
“Song Ning should’ve stayed behind. I think Mu Chen won’t allow her to risk her safety and bring her with him, right?”
Ning Dong nodded. “Alright. Remember to report your whereabouts and progress.”
After ending the call, Ning Dong asked the Yin family, “Is everything ready?”
