Her hands had shaken into a sieve, her battered brain was suddenly blank, she didn't know how to organize her words, she didn't know what to say, she could only listen to the voice coming from the microphone in a daze.

"Lan'er, I know you came to the hospital to see me that day. I've been discharged from the hospital, so you don't have to ......."

Cheng Hongxin's voice was calm and waveless, like a mountain stream flowing, quietly and slowly looking for a path to go down, without any ups and downs, but there was a heavy friendship hidden in the sparse tone.

You Lan could not hear what he was saying, and before he could finish what he wanted to say, he had already interrupted him eagerly, "Xing'er...... Xing'er has been kidnapped! ”

Her voice was crying, choked up and almost speechless.

"What do you say? Xing'er has been kidnapped, where are you now, I'll go and look for you right away! ”​

There was distress in her eager voice, You Lan reported the address without thinking about it, and after about fifteen minutes, Cheng Hongxin was already standing in front of her.

Cheng Hongxin's forehead was still wrapped in gauze, the injury was not completely healed, his eyes were burning and staring at You Lan, who was six gods and no master, and his voice was so soft that there was comfort, "When was Xing'er kidnapped, did the kidnappers contact you?" Don't be nervous, don't be afraid of anything with me. ”

You Lan was already so flustered that she couldn't say a complete word, her mind was full of the sentence that as long as she called the police, she would boil Xing'er with boiling water, she grabbed Cheng Hongxin's arm, and her beautiful eyes were all confused, "Two days, only two days, they want 30 million, can't ...... You can't call the police. ”

Cheng Hongxin's palm gently patted the back of her hand, there was indescribable warmth in his gentle voice, he pointed at Mother Chen next to him and said sharply: "What the hell is going on, you come and go!"

Chen's mother simply stated what happened, and her voice stumbled, and she was also panicked.

"Lan'er, you don't have to worry. In two days, it was not difficult to get 30 million cash from Yun Zhen's account. For the safety of Xing'er, we can't call the police. ”

Cheng Hongxin immediately dialed Wen Yu's phone and asked her to prepare 30 million in cash and send it to his villa in a day and a half.

I don't know when the kidnappers will call, Cheng Hongxin proposed to take You Lan to his villa to live temporarily, so that if there is any emergency, he can deal with it at any time.

"I ...... I ......" What happened in the sea-view room, the shadow caused to her has not completely subsided, she knows that the only person she can rely on and rely on now is Cheng Hongxin, but she still can't suppress the rejection of him from the bottom of her heart.

"Lan'er, don't worry. That won't happen again, I watched Xing'er be born, walked with her in Hangzhou for a long time, she was kidnapped, and I was no less worried than you. Cheng Hongxin stretched out a hand to pick up her long sweaty hair dyed in front of her sideburns, and pinned it gently behind her ear, and there was a little firmness in her cool voice, "As long as you can keep Xing'er safe, it's only 30 million, I admit it!" ”

You Lan looked at him a little stunned, and through his deep eyes, she seemed to see that when she was a child, a group of children were having a snowball fight, and he stood in front of her without moving, blocking those snowballs flying all over the sky, and all the snowballs fell on his body, face, and neck, and she hid behind him unharmed, and smashed all the snowballs on others.

At that time, she felt that it was too good to have her brother's protection, although his brother was not good at making her happy, but he could let go of his favorite toys, and he did not hesitate to stand up when she was bullied, and these were enough.

You Lan followed Cheng Hongxin back to Nanyu Villa, this was the first time she came to his new home, the villa was next to a lake, and it could be seen that it should be a specially built artificial lake.

He made her a simple dinner in the kitchen, all of which she usually likes to eat, but You Lan didn't eat a bite, just sat on the sofa and stared at the screen of her mobile phone in a daze.

"Lan'er, although we didn't call the police. But I'm already checking, Xing'er is a child of the Cheng family, which is a fact that many people know. If the other party is simply greedy for money, even if I investigate, it will only be a needle in a haystack. Because there are many people who are at the end of their rope and who are desperate to go crazy, and there are also many people who do not hesitate to take risks for money. All we have to do now is wait, but you can't bring yourself down first, or eat something, eh? ”

Cheng Hongxin was holding a bowl of her favorite preserved egg porridge in her daily life, when she was a child, she always drank her own bowl when she was a child at her aunt's house, and then went to grab him. Sometimes, if she doesn't rob him, she will deliberately leave half a bowl for her, lying that she can't drink it.

He scooped a spoonful and fed it to her mouth, You Lan barely ate it, then the second spoonful, and after the third spoonful, she couldn't eat it at all, and shook her head at her with difficulty.

Cheng Hongxin's mobile phone rang, and You Lan bounced like a frightened bird, but found that her mobile phone screen did not brighten.

In less than half a minute, he hung up the phone, gently hugged her in his arms, and his low voice revealed a little distress, "I asked my subordinates to find a few bank connections, and the money is all ready." ”

"Thank you, cousin!" Her eyes sparkled with water, and the words she uttered were almost unconscious, and for so many years she had always chased after him and called him, cousin, cousin. The word "cousin" is a title hidden in the cortex of the mind, a kind of subconscious of her.

He stroked her long inky hair, spreading from the top of her head to her back, and a faint voice sounded in her ears, "Didn't you say you would never have to say thank you to me." ”

She lay in his arms and looked up at the ceiling all night, her phone clutched tightly in her palms, and she was so tired that she fell asleep until the sky was already dark.

It was only about a few dozen minutes before the mobile phone in her hand rang, and it was the unfamiliar kidnapper's number from yesterday, and she quickly picked it up, "Hey, hey, the money is ready, my child...... What about my child? ”

Cheng Hongxin reminded in a whisper beside him to listen to the child's voice.

"I ...... I want to listen to the stars! You Lan's long hair was messy, her hands were still shaking, and she was so nervous that her heart was about to burst in her chest.

"Okay, you wait!" Soon Xiao Xing'er's voice came out from inside, sunny and bright without fear, which made You Lan very surprised, "Mom, Mom, there are two uncles with masks here, and there are many delicious things to eat when you play games with me." The uncles said I would be able to go home tomorrow. ”

"Xing'er...... Xing'er ......" You Lan's voice was full of crying, and the kidnapper reported the time and address, and then hung up the phone quickly.

They said...... There is a trash can under the Hongqi Street overpass, so let me put my money in the trash can at five o'clock tomorrow afternoon! ”

You Lan's eyes were blurred, and she seemed to lose focus when she saw anything. Cheng Hongxin held her in his arms and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, Lan'er." Everything will pass, everything will pass. They are just trying to make money, and they won't hurt Xing'er. ”

On a restless day, the mood could not be calm, until Wen Yu walked into the villa in the evening with two boxes of dollars.

You Lan suddenly seemed to think of something, stepped forward and grabbed Wen Yu's wrist, and asked tremblingly, "In the hospital that day, you seemed to know that Xing'er was going to have an accident." Wen Yu, did you do it? You said! ”

"You Lan, you're crazy! kidnapping for ransom, and extorting so much money, I don't want to put a good future, it's hard to go to prison to eat prison food. Do you believe that I am going to sue you for slander? ”

Wen Yu spoke sharply, and shook off You Lan's wrist with all her might, You Lan was unsteady on her feet, staggered and almost leaned back, but fortunately, Cheng Hongxin helped her in time and almost hugged her firmly.

There was a little nervousness in the hoarse voice, and the man was gentle and open, "It's okay!" Lan'er. ”

You Lan stood firm, and after coming back to her senses, she wanted to rush over and tear Wen Yu again, but was hugged by the man behind her.

"Wen Yu, I know that you will do everything to achieve your goals, but my daughter is so young, you will be damned!"

You Lan struggled in his arms as if she was crazy, and she seemed to be a little confused.

"What are you doing there, don't get out of here." Cheng Hongxin locked You Lan hard, and shouted at Wen Yu who was standing nearby.

Wen Yu blushed, his fingers clenched into fists fiercely, and he took two steps back and bit his lip to leave.

"Lan'er, Lan'er, calm down, this matter has nothing to do with her."

As if blurted out without thinking, Cheng Hongxin's words made You Lan couldn't help but be stunned.

"What do you mean? It has nothing to do with her, but with whom? Do you know anything too? ”

You Lan searched his eyes hard, trying to find a flaw in his eyes.

"Actually, I've found some clues, and the Black Tiger Gang did it."

The paper couldn't contain the fire, and he didn't want to say this, for fear that she would be even more worried.

"The Black Tiger Gang, the largest gang in the rivers and lakes. They...... They killed people without blinking, and they kidnapped Ruyi in the first place? ”

You Lan's eyes widened in horror, her fingers grabbed the collar on her chest, and she felt that her heart had been cut in half.

"They kidnapped Wan Ruyi at the beginning, and now Wan Ruyi is not alive, so ...... The Black Tiger Gang only seeks money and does not kill people. ”

Cheng Hongxin told her these things in order to give her a reassuring pill, but the woman's heart was very flustered.

"Could it be the Black Tigers? Xing'er doesn't seem to know that she was kidnapped, and she still has a lot of fun? ”

You Lan recalled Xing'er's voice, it was so relaxed and bright, it was somewhat unreasonable.

"Lan'er, don't think about it so much? I'll help you upstairs, you haven't slept for a day and a night, and if you stay up, you'll collapse. I'll accompany you to deliver money tomorrow, Xing'er...... Will be back......"
