Chapter 259: Chapter 259-using money to exchange for people
Chi luexi was furious and anxious. She wanted to curse at Chi Jianming and let him know the serious consequences of this matter. It was
To her surprise, before Chi Luoxi could finish her sentence, Chi Jianming told her to prepare five million Yuan in cash before hanging up. đđŻđ˘đ˘đđđđđŹđłđđŠ.đđđ
Chi leixi suppressed her anger and thought about it for a while.
He had lost the little guy in his hands, and it was already a huge responsibility. Now, it was in his fatherâs hands, and this so-called father, Chi Jianming, had kidnapped the little guy for money!
If word got out, it would be so embarrassing that it would be thrown into the Atlantic.
He had no choice. He could not deal with those shameless family members on his own. The little guy was still in their hands, so he had to deal with it as soon as possible.
She knew that Li Jingjing was still on a business trip in the neighboring city at this time, but Chi Yuexi couldnât think of a better way, so she had to call him.
Li Jingjing had already finished her business and wanted to go back earlier. He remembered talking to Chi Luoxi over the phone last night. Chi Luoxi had said that she would treat him to a meal.
Although it was a joke, if he went back early, he could ask her out for a chat.
They were both busy and didnât have much time and opportunities to be alone, so it was time for them to communicate more.
Li Jingjing was about to return to the city when her phone rang. It was Chi yaoxiâs number.
He took the initiative to call at this time to ask for a meal? It was rare for this woman to take the initiative. Li Jingjing couldnât help but smile.
âShua shua! Did you come back?â
......
Li Jingjing felt that something was wrong when she heard Chi yaoxiâs anxious voice. Did something urgent happen?
âIâm not here yet. Iâm going back. What happened? Donât worry, Iâll be back soon. â
Upon hearing Li Jingjingâs words of comfort, Chi yaoxi suddenly felt more confident. She felt that as long as this man was around, even if the sky collapsed, it would not be a big problem. He would be able to find a way to solve it.
But in front of Li Jingjing, Chi yaoxi still felt very guilty. She was already an adult, yet she had lost her child when she was shopping with her.
Li Jingjing could sense Chi Luoxiâs hesitation and silence. She became even more anxious.
âWhat happened? Donât worry, there will always be a way to solve it. â
Chi Luoxi said uneasily,â
âIâm sorry, Yingluo. I didnât protect Chenchen well. â
âChenchen? What happened to Chenchen? What happened?â
When Li Jingjing heard Chi yaoxiâs slow explanation that it was about Chenchen, she felt a little anxious no matter how calm she was.
âWhen Chenchen was taken away, I almost called the police. Now I know that it was my fatherâs group who did it. They held Chenchen hostage and acted shamelessly, saying that they would only return little Chenchen after getting the money.
AI! Yingluo, Iâm very sorry. I ... I didnât take good care of Chenchen. Iâm responsible for that. Also, my family over there actually did some shameless and ugly things. Iâm sorry to have caused you trouble!â
When Li Jingjing heard Chi yaoxiâs words, she knew that things werenât as serious as she had thought. Her face darkened, but her frown relaxed a little.
It was nothing more than Chi Yuexiâs greedy family deliberately taking Chenchen away to threaten them for money. They did not dare to do anything to the little fellow.
Hearing Chi Luoxiâs tone, she felt ashamed and sad. Li Jingjingâs heart ached for her.
He had such a profit-seeking and shameless father, a vicious stepmother, and a younger sister who was about the same age but insensible.
Chi Luoxi had grown up in such a chaotic family environment, yet she had not been corrupted by them. She was still a kind and gentle woman. It was really not easy.
She must have suffered a lot of grievances and oppression since she was young.
âDonât blame yourself, Luo Xi. Itâs not your fault. They were the ones who didnât know their place and wanted to cause trouble. Iâll go back now. Wait for me. â
Li Jingjing hung up the phone and stepped on the accelerator. The car turned onto the highway and drove back.
It usually took two hours to get there, but this time, Li Jingjing only took slightly more than an hour to reach Chi Luoxiâs house.
Chi yaoxi quickly opened the car door and got in. Li Jingjing took her to her fatherâs place.
Chi yaoxi sat in the car cautiously, not daring to make a sound.
Li Jingjing could tell that she was nervous. She patted her on the arm and comforted her calmly.
âDonât be nervous. They wonât dare to do anything to Chenchen. â
Upon hearing Li Jingjingâs comforting words, Chi Luoxiâs eyes suddenly reddened.
Even when Chenchen had disappeared at the beginning, Chi Luoxi had still forced herself to focus and think of a way to deal with it. She had not even cried in a hurry.
She did not expect Li Jingjingâs gentle words of comfort to move Chi Luoxi. She tried her best not to let her tears fall.
âBut Iâm worried that Chenchen will be scared. We donât know what kind of harsh words theyâll say to scare the child.â
Li Jingjing could hear the sobs in Chi yaoxiâs voice. He turned around and saw Chi yaoxi looking at him with red eyes.
âItâs okay, luexi. Theyâre the kind of people who want money and their lives. They wonât dare to do anything overboard to Chenchen. Besides, you should believe in your son. Heâs so smart that he wonât be fooled by them. â
âReally? thatâs good. Letâs hurry over.â
Chi yaoxi rubbed her eyes. She felt a little more at ease when she heard that Li Jingjingâs words made sense.
Li Jingjingâs loud knocking made Chi Jianmingâs heart beat faster.
He had also listened to the old ladyâs words. It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid or nervous since it was his first time doing such a thing.
Li Lijuan saw Chi Jianmingâs nervousness and timidity, so she directly walked over and pinched him.
âAish, it hurts so much. This old hag is so cruel!â
Chi Jianming couldnât help but cry out in pain.
âYouâre really useless. The knocking on the door has already scared you to this extent. How are you going to continue the conversation later?â
Li Lijuan incited Chi Jianming to say such harsh words.
âSince Chi yaoxi doesnât want to pay, then let that li guy do it. He owns such a big company and family property. Whatâs five million Yuan to him?â
âMoreover, his son is still in our hands. How can he deal with such a relationship? Itâs useless to call the police. This kind of relative is very close, so it canât be considered kidnapping and blackmailing!â
Chi Jianming was still timid and complained,â
âBut donât you know how the child was brought back? If they pursue the matter, wonât I be the one to take responsibility?â
Li Lijuan reached out and hit Chi Jianmingâs shoulder again. She looked at him with disgust and said,â
âAre you stupid? Is Chi Luoxi your daughter? that li guy likes your daughter and he still dares to touch the Chi family? I still dare to deal with you? You can just relax and ask for the money. Act as pitiful as you can, and Iâll decide what to do depending on the situation. â
Chi Jianming thought about it carefully. Li Lijuanâs words made sense. Since they had such a relationship, they wouldnât be too cruel. Besides, he just wanted money and didnât have any intention of hurting the child.
There was a loud and urgent knock on the door.
