"What's wrong with you?" Chen Bowen rushed out of the study and saw Lu Wanting sitting on the stairs, her pajamas wet with milk, and half a glass of leftover milk in her hand.

"Half a glass left, will you drink it? I was going to bring you a glass of milk, but I slipped and fell while going upstairs. She looked at the hem of her soaked pajamas with an aggrieved expression on her face.

He saw her leaning on the handrail of the staircase like a child, sighed, took the cup from her hand and set it aside, as if premeditated, she stretched out her arms and naturally put her arms around his neck, he hesitated for a moment, and carried her princess into the room.

A large patch of milk was splashed on her pajamas, he went back to the bedroom and got a wide sports T-shirt for her to change into, and after settling her in, he went downstairs to get a rag and wiped the water stains off the stairs before returning to the study and turning off the computer and desk lamp.

He sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed his slightly throbbing temples. He claimed in the company that Chen Zhongwu went to New Zealand to study and investigate, so that Chen Zhongwu did not cause unnecessary panic during the days when the company disappeared, and he did not see relevant media reports and speculations on the Internet.

In addition, he looked up a lot of local news about missing people on the Internet tonight, the latest one was from November last year, and she didn't describe the kidnapper's facial or behavioral features to him at the time, so looking for it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

What annoys him is that he doesn't know anything about the other party, and the other party knows everything about him. From the very beginning of this game, he has been mired in passivity.

The next day, grandma got up early to make breakfast for the whole family, and when Lu Wanting limped down from upstairs, she still shouted "I'll come, I'll come" to her grandmother who was holding a dinner plate.

"Slow down, you don't need to come, I heard Bowen say that you twisted your foot last night, why are you so careless." Grandma looked worried.

"It's okay grandma, just rub some medicine, just let your old man cook, so that I, a junior, can't go." She said as she walked down the last few steps.

Grandma smiled kindly and walked over to help her to the table and sit down.

She looked left and right, but he was nowhere to be seen, and her grandmother told her empathetically that he had left for work early in the morning.

Even grandma thinks it's strange, whether at home or in the company, she doesn't talk much when she beats her eldest grandson, but now he is even more taciturn, and his heart always seems to be pretending to be on his mind. Grandma asked when Chen Zhongwu would come home, but he just shook his head helplessly, saying that he didn't know.

In fact, grandma also knows very well in her heart that Chen Zhongwu took the initiative to go to New Zealand in order to avoid embarrassment, and he is too sorry for his playful personality if he does not stay abroad for half a month.

Fortunately, now that I have my granddaughter-in-law by my side, I haven't cooked for more than ten years, so I can relive my cooking skills in the past two days.

She saw that her grandmother was not surprised that Chen Bowen went out early and returned late, but she was very anxious, she received an invitation letter from her college classmates yesterday, three years have passed since graduation, and the group of young people of that year are running towards their own future, and now they can finally get together again, which is a very rare opportunity.

She must go to this class reunion, if they know that her husband works in Chen's company and there are two houses at home, I don't know how many people will envy and hate her.

Unexpectedly, she sprained her foot last night, and now she has a hard time even going down the stairs, let alone going out alone. She was going to wake up in the morning and tell him to let him go with her in the evening, but she didn't expect him to be so busy with work, who knows when he will be back tonight.

But it's Saturday, and even if he works overtime on Saturday, he won't be too late. Thinking of this, she finally saw some hope.

The wait during the day is long, and she is not lonely when she chats with her grandmother, especially after learning that her grandmother is also from Miao Village, they are even more close to each other, constantly recalling the memories of their hometown Miao Village, often hitting it off.

Time passed little by little, and by the time the two finally felt hungry, it was already past twelve o'clock.

"Knock knock" At this time, there was a knock on the door, few people knew that the Chen family had a house here, and almost no one had ever visited here, grandma got up suspiciously to open the door, but Lu Wanting showed a happy expression.

It must be Xiao Zi, who just arrived yesterday afternoon and sent an email on her computer to tell Xiao Zi her new address.

"Hello grandma, does Lu Wanting live here? I'm her friend. A familiar voice came from outside the door.

After grandma invited Xiao Zi in, she sat on the sofa and opened her arms to greet her best friend's hug, and suddenly screamed again, it turned out that Xiao Zi, who was unaware, accidentally touched her injured foot, but scared Xiao Zi at a loss.

Grandma stood by and looked at the two babbling girls, laughing and shaking her head.

"Grandma, this is Xiao Zi, my best friend." She introduced to her grandmother with a smile, then turned her head to Xiao Zi and said, "This place is not easy to find, I really don't know how you found it." We haven't eaten yet, so let's stay and eat together. Help me up, let's help grandma cook. ”

After that, despite her grandmother's dissuasion, all three of them went into the kitchen and began to cook lively.

Xiao Zi told her that after she left, there was once a chubby man who went to the rental house and knocked on the door very loudly, but when he saw Xiao Zi who opened the door, he said "I'm sorry, I found the wrong person" and turned away, Xiao Zi asked her if she was her friend.

She couldn't recall that her male friend was fat, and she was also absent-minded, glancing at the clock in the corner from time to time, hoping that he would come back soon.

On Saturday and Sunday nights, the number of customers in the bar will be twice as high as on weekdays, after lunch and chatting with grandma for a while, Xiao Zi had to say goodbye to her and go to the bar, before leaving, the two girls hugged for a long time, Xiao Zi whispered in her ear "I wish you happiness".

When it was about to get dark, she heard the sound of wheels crushing outside the window, and it didn't take long for the door to be opened, and the figure of Chen Bowen changing shoes appeared in the entrance.

"You're back."

"Hmm."

"I have a class reunion tonight, and you know that my feet are inconvenient, so you can send me there." She said in a pleading tone, "Please, this class reunion is really important to me. ”

After she said that, her grandmother also helped her say a few words.

I don't know if it's for grandma's face, or because I feel sorry for her, he agreed very happily.

Two hours later, the two of them showed up at the meeting place in a glamorous manner, perfect except for the canvas shoes on her feet, which were swollen enough to wear high heels.

When everyone learned that she had received a marriage certificate with the tall and handsome Chen Bowen next to her, they all shouted that they were going to drink the wedding wine, and punished them with three glasses of wine for being late.

He didn't have a lot of socializing every day, and the amount of alcohol was naturally not a problem, but today's occasion inevitably made him feel upset, so he let her talk and laugh in the crowd, and lit a cigarette and sat aside.

Fifteen million is still missing.

He silently thought, is there no room for it? With only 5 million deposits on his card, it didn't help at all, he stayed in the villa in the suburbs for almost a whole day today, and he went out early to attract the kidnappers' attention to himself, which can be regarded as the protection of his family.

He spent almost the whole day in the villa in the suburbs, video chatting with his economic adviser to discuss ways to raise money, he had a lot of business partners with each other, but he couldn't find a legitimate reason to borrow money from them when the company was running normally, and his status made it impossible for him to open his mouth.

Only grandma has financial power in the family, but this matter must be hidden from grandma, if she knows about it, I don't know if she will pass out as before under the excitement, even if Chen Zhongwu is redeemed in the end, how should he explain.

In this case, according to the kidnappers, it is almost impossible to raise 20 million in three days, but he must be prepared just in case.

He felt that he was still passive, and he had to continue to wait.

At this time, several women next to him began to talk to him, and in order to get his attention, everyone led the topic to a sensitive aspect.

He learned from the chat that last month, the lover of the CEO of a company was kidnapped, and the kidnappers asked for 20 million, who knew that they had miscalculated, and the woman in the heart of the CEO was not worth so much money at all, besides, the boss's wife had long suspected that he was stealing outside, and he wished he had dumped the woman earlier, but as a result, the woman was torn up.

But this statement was denied by another woman in a purple dress, she said that the kidnapper did not tear up the ticket, but let go of the boss's lover, who knew that his life was not even worth 20 million, and ran to the company to make a fuss, and then the boss didn't know how much money was given to her, so the matter was settled.

Purple Skirt was afraid that everyone would not believe it, and swore that her sister worked in that company, but the boss was afraid that the matter would have a bad impact on the company, so he sent someone to block the news.

"The kidnappers are too bold, 20 million is not a small amount, and I don't know if I can grab so much money by robbing the bank." But they are really ruthless, and coming up with such a bad trick is much more enjoyable than tearing up tickets. A woman with heavy makeup sneered, "But this incident happened to rich people, and we ordinary people are safe!" ”

"By the way, I also heard that they are a criminal gang, their boss was only released from prison a year ago, what is it called, let me think about it, it seems to be called Bai Yu."

"White Jade". He silently pronounced the name in his mind, vaguely remembering reading a newspaper report about his trial. Is this person the kidnapper who kidnapped Chen Zhongwu?
