For almost a year now, I've been living in a huge conspiracy.

At least that's what I thought at the moment.

The first thought that came to my mind at that time was to start to suspect Mayike.

Although I can't tell from Ma Yike's words and deeds on weekdays that Ma Yike would be such a woman, but now, when I think back to some details of Ma Yike and me directly, I feel more and more suspicious.

Holding the phone, I was shocked and angry, and I couldn't help but curse angrily on the other end of the phone: "How the hell did your company start?! Your nanny can't be a human trafficker, right?"

"Huh?" was scolded by my sudden tone, and the other party was obviously a little unexpected.

"I said, what the hell is going on with your company? There is a problem with the nanny you are looking for! Now my child is missing with the nanny, do you know? I called the nanny, but she turned off the phone, who do you think I should look for now?

In a moment's hurry, I scolded in one breath. The house was smashed, and Jiaqi disappeared like this, and at this point, it was impossible for me to keep the slightest calm.

was scolded by me all the time, and heard my angry words clearly, and the other party was obviously surprised.

"Sir...... Please calm down and say well. We don't quite understand the matter, please tell us carefully first, okay? Our company's nannies are professionally trained, and their quality and life experience are guaranteed, maybe you are a little anxious and misunderstand something. "The other party tried his best to persuade me to calm down, but how could I calm down, things have come to this point, unless Ma Yike comes back with Jiaqi the next moment, otherwise, there is no possibility of calming down.

After scolding angrily, I was also a little relieved, knowing that it was useless for me to be angry and angry about this matter, I had to explain it first.

At the very least, I need to know some information about Maiko, and it would be better to be able to contact her so that I can find a way out.

"Anyway, I don't think I can get rid of that nanny. Here's what happened...... "I forced myself to calm down and concisely told each other what I found when I went home today, and found that Ma Yike and Jiaqi were missing.

"Sir...... Don't worry...... Listening to what you just described, it seems that it has only been two hours since the incident happened. Maybe you're thinking too much, maybe the sitter didn't do anything......"

"My house has been smashed, and you say she has no problem?" But after saying this, I also felt that something was wrong.

At that moment, if it was really Ma Yike who did something to take away Jiaqi, then there was no need for her to smash the things in the hall. It doesn't make sense either.

"This ...... Sir, don't worry, things are indeed a bit sudden, and I understand your feelings, but I think you might as well wait a little longer, after all, the disappearance time is so short, even if you call the police, JC will not deal with it as a missing person case. As for the nanny named Ma Yike, our company can find a way to help you get in touch, which is also what our company should be responsible for. ”

Hearing the other party's unhurried tone, my anxious mood was also a little calmer, indeed, not to mention that my adoption of Jiaqi was not recognized by the law, even if I called the police, because the disappearance time was too short, the police would not treat it as a missing person quietly. Even if I didn't study law, I know that.

But after understanding, how could I not be worried about Jiaqi's safety?

What if something happens to Jiaqi...... I can't imagine how I could face it.

"Then you can contact Ma Yike as soon as possible, no matter what method you use, I want to see her in the shortest possible time. If it's really your nanny who does something, I'll definitely want your company to go to court. ”

Speaking these words, I didn't say more, and the kerosene lamp replied and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, the empty hall became extremely cold again, there was no sound at all, and the silence was terrifying.

In the huge villa, I was the only one standing alone.

It was like I was the only one in the world.

What am I going to do?

What should I do now?

Jiaqi is missing, but I don't have a clue at all.

Who has been to my house? Is it a thief, a kidnapper, or a ......?

Looking at the messy hall and the tragic death of Xiaobai outside the stairs, I almost had the urge to immediately arrest the murderer who had done all this to me.

But no matter what, I'm really helpless now. I can't do anything.

For six years, I kept Jiaqi a secret so well that almost no one in the world knew about her.

But because of my concealment of Jiaqi, it has left me in a quagmire with no hope of salvation.

I was truly in utter despair.

For six years, I never thought that something like this would happen to me. I never imagined that one day Jiaqi would disappear so inexplicably. I thought that Jiaqi would be adopted, that Jiaqi's parents would find her, that I would grow up Jiaqi, and that I would see her get farther and farther away from me, but I never thought that one day she would disappear so suddenly.

I sat on the cold wooden couch and tried to do something crazy, but found that I couldn't do anything.

After sitting like this for about a minute, I stood up, and I decided to go out and look for it, maybe I would meet Ma Yike and Jiaqi outside. There are a few places, such as the central park, the children's park, and the downtown mall, that I used to go to with Ma Yike and Jiaqi, and maybe I could meet them there.

Thinking of this, I immediately got up from the sofa and couldn't wait to go out. Although there is little hope, going out to find them is indeed the only way for me to hope at the moment.

But just as I was about to go out, my phone rang.

At this moment, I am already very sensitive to the slightest movement, let alone the phone ringing.

Picking up my phone, I looked at the number display on it, but it was a very unfamiliar number. At that time, when I saw that strange caller ID, I was a little nervous.

People always have an instinctive fear of the strange and unknown.

But I pressed the answer button as soon as possible.

But less than a minute after I answered the phone, I felt like I had fallen into the deepest depths of hell.

"Hey?" I asked, picking up the phone.

"You're in a hurry right now, aren't you?" The voice of a strange man on the other end of the phone that I had never heard before, sounding like a middle-aged man, with a bit of banter and coldness in his voice.

At least to me.

When I heard the other party's first words, my heart sank instantly.

"Who are you?"

"Don't you want to know. I called you to tell you that your people are in my hands. The other man spoke in an unhurried tone, but each word hit me in the chest like a hammer.

"You...... What the hell are you going to do? Don't mess around......"

"I don't want to mess around. I just want to tell you about the conditions, I won't say much else, I know you have money. So my conditions are also very simple, if you can do it, I will pay you back your people, if you can't do it, then ...... I think I'm confident that you won't want to see your person again in your life. ”

The other party's words were full of indescribable confidence.

At that moment, I felt as if my heart was being clutched, as if it was about to be pinched and exploded in the next moment.

I forced myself to calm down, but I couldn't.

"You say. That's all I can say in the end.

"Hmph. It's easy to say yes. A week, 2 million ransom, you can get the money, and I will pay it back when the time comes. If you can't take it, you don't want to see the person you want to see. ”

"2 million......? Are you a kidnapper?"

"If you want to call the police, you can also try it, I can guarantee that you will never try to find the person you want in your life...... Even if I'm caught, the person you're looking for won't want to make it to you alive. ”

"Wait. If you have something to say...... I heard the other party's words, my tone immediately calmed down, and at this moment, I knew that I must not provoke the other party.

"There's not much to say. Whether you can do it or not, you know. When you have scraped together enough money, I will naturally contact you to pay the address, and you will come alone when the time comes. After speaking, the other party stopped talking, as if he wanted to hang up.

"Wait, wait...... Jiaqi ...... Are my people really with you? What's the matter with them?"

When I asked, there was no answer on the other end of the phone, but there was a crisp and loud applause and a cry that followed.

"Woo woo wow wow wow~~!!"

I could hear it so clearly, and my whole heart was crumbling with the voice.

It was Jiaqi's cry.

Have you ever had the experience of being bullied and beaten by your closest people, only to listen helplessly to their cries from afar?

Do you know what that feels like?

If you haven't been, I can tell you that at that moment, I would rather be the one who was beaten.

I couldn't wait for a hand to reach into my phone, grab the other end of the phone, grab Jiaqi back, and punch the guy on the other end of the phone a few times.

Beat him to death.

It can be said that at that moment, I had a murderous intent in my heart that I had never had since I was a child.

However, I know I can't do anything right now.

He caught me in my weakness.

"You hit Jiaqi?" I said these words almost through gritted teeth.

"Just to convince you that what I say can be done. Now you should be clear, your people are here with me, and I can make her do whatever I want. Just a little kid. If you don't believe me, don't listen to another voice. ”

The other party's words immediately deflated me, and I calmed down, knowing that I was not the opponent of the other party, and the other party was too powerful.

He knew my mood too well.

I had no choice at all.

"I take your word for it, don't touch that kid again...... I'll figure it out about money, but I'm going to make sure my people don't have any problems before I pay the money. If you touch them...... I dare say you don't even want to get a penny. I...... Word. ”

"You're threatening me, huh? Do you really think I'm going to do something?"

"I didn't mean that...... I just want my people to come back safely. And if you don't hurt my people, and you won't come to trouble again in the future, I promise that I won't call the police, and you can also get the money, and you won't lose a cent. ”

2 million, which is definitely a huge astronomical number.

But at the moment, I really don't have a choice.

Between 2 million and Jiaqi, I don't have a third option.

In any case, at the moment I at least have to stabilize the other party's emotions, and now the most taboo thing for me is to provoke the other party. can do such a thing, the other party is definitely ruthless and bold gangsters, if I say superfluous, it will only force the other party to see the dagger.

"Won't you call the police? Hmph, I only believe in three points of your words, and you don't know the mentality of people like you, it's nothing more than to stabilize me first, and then secretly call the police? I'll make it clear to you: I'm not going to eat you. For a week, you get the money ready, don't play tricks on me, I know your every move, don't think you have a chance to call the police and want us. If there is a little problem at that time, I promise that it will be you, not me, who will suffer. ”

"Remember, a week, 2 million. Don't play tricks on me. ”

The other party lowered his voice and said in a deep voice that made people panic when they heard it, accompanied by waves of Jiaqi's cries in the background sound, I felt like my heart was about to explode.

Hearing the other party's words, I wanted to say a few more words, but soon Jiaqi's crying on the other end of the phone had disappeared, replaced by a blind beep on the phone.

"Hey, hey?" I heard the other party hang up the phone, I hurriedly pressed the number displayed on the phone again, but the contact was dialed several times, but no one answered.

I know that the other person will not be stupid enough to wait there to call me back.

One week, 2 million.

This is the other party's condition.

There's no room for manoeuvre, unless I don't want to see Jiaqi again in my life, and Mayike.

After making four calls in a row, I finally chose to close my phone and sit down on the couch.

Why is this happening?

Sitting on the couch, I even had a bit of a mess in my brain. These things are just ridiculous.

Kidnapping, I've only seen this kind of thing on TV before, and I've always felt that kidnapping on TV is a routine, without any new ideas, it's completely made up, purely to create highlights for a story.

I certainly couldn't have imagined that this would happen to me one day.

Yes, there are more than a billion people in China, and there are countless children, so why did this kind of thing happen to me?

Just because I have some money? But are there a few rich people in this world?

Why are these things happening to me?

Why?

The more I thought about it, the more resentful I became, my chest burning like a fire, and my hands clenched into fists against the sofa.

2 million, in exchange for Jiaqi.

This is a condition offered by the other party.

2 million, for me now, although it is a huge amount, but it does not exceed my limit. At least, with my current savings, I still have a deposit of not less than 6 million.

The amount of 2 million is enough to intimidate just by listening to it. With such a huge amount, I don't know how many young women I can support, and I don't know how many young girls I don't know.

However, at the moment, 2 million can only be redeemed by dogs, a little girl.

A little girl who changed my life.

The closest little girl to me.

On the couch, I thought about it for a long, long time, and a lot.

I'm worried about Jiaqi.

Where would she be now? Will it hurt, is she crying and calling me?

The thought of Jiaqi's snow-white little face covered with red handprints made my heart uncontrollably impatient.

It's just that although my heart is very anxious, that moment is also full of countless questions. At first it all happened so suddenly that I didn't think much of it, but then I thought it was so strange.

How did that kidnapper come to my house? Who was he? How did he know about my family? Why did I feel as if he knew me? But from the accent, I didn't know who he was or where he came from?

And what I can't let go of the most is, apart from Jiaqi, what happened to Ma Yike?

Did something happen to her? Was she taken away by the kidnappers with Jiaqi or was she somewhere else?

The more I thought about these things, the more strange I felt.
