Chapter 192: What is the kidnapper’s purpose after all? 2

"Xiao Jie, what are you talking about? How can you say such a thing?" Ling Xuejiu was already in a heavy mood, and after hearing what Li Mengjie said, she nearly passed out from frustration. This darn girl really leaves one speechless.

Li Mengjie’s face turned red, and she laughed awkwardly, saying, "Hehe, Xue Jiu, I’m just trying to analyze the situation for you, it’s not impossible to consider such a possibility!"

"Stop analyzing already, even if you gave Xu Renjie ten guts, he wouldn’t dare!" Ling Xuejiu pursed her lips and said with disdain.

The kind of person Xu Renjie was, she knew all too well. Although he was domineering in school, he wasn’t someone without self-awareness. With his prestigious family, he simply couldn’t afford to provoke her, so although Xu Renjie shamelessly pursued her, he never dared to cross the line. To think that Xu Renjie would send someone to kidnap her, she found it hard to believe.

Li Mengjie pondered for a moment and seemed to understand Ling Xuejiu’s point. She then said, "That’s true. But Xue Jiu, if it’s not Xu Renjie, then who could it be?"

Ling Xuejiu hadn’t spoken yet when her phone suddenly rang. She took it out and saw that it was her grandfather calling. She quickly answered, "Grandfather!"

"Xue Jiu, you’re not hurt, are you?" Old Master Ling’s voice carried a hint of anger.

"Grandfather, I’m fine, don’t worry about me too much!" Ling Xuejiu replied.

"Humph!" Ling Tian snorted coldly and said, "Xue Jiu, rest assured, the audacity of them to target you, I will not let this matter go easily."

"They?" Ling Xuejiu was taken aback and asked, "Grandfather, do you know who is trying to harm me?"

"That..." Old Master Ling hesitated, then said, "Xue Jiu, this is just my speculation, I can’t be sure yet. Let Leng Xuan take the phone, I want to speak with him."

"Oh, he’s cooking in the kitchen!" Ling Xuejiu felt somewhat aggrieved. Why did grandfather trust Leng Xuan so much? As for herself, there were so many things he couldn’t share with her. But she also realized the seriousness of the matter; otherwise, her grandfather wouldn’t be so angry. In her memory, this seemed to be the first time her grandfather was this upset. She said, "I’ll take the phone to him."

On the other end of the line, Ling Tian paused upon hearing that Leng Xuan was cooking. Uncle Liu was also by his side, so he asked Uncle Liu, "Isn’t Xiao Yun preparing meals for Xue Jiu anymore? Why did Xue Jiu say Leng Xuan is cooking?"

Uncle Liu was taken aback and chuckled bitterly, "Old Master, this is the first time I’m hearing this. It’s unexpected that Mr. Leng possesses these skills, haha, he really seems like a good young man!"

The Old Master’s mood was originally somber, but after hearing what Uncle Liu said, he couldn’t help but chuckle, feeling somewhat better. It was at this moment that Leng Xuan’s voice came through the phone, "Old Master, I am Leng Xuan."

Old Master responded, "Oh, Leng Xuan. Is Xue Jiu by your side?"

"She..." Leng Xuan drew out his word.

Old Master said, "If she’s there, just have her step out for a bit. There are some things I’d rather she didn’t know too much about."

"Alright." On the other end of the phone, Leng Xuan glanced at Ling Xuejiu standing nearby and chuckled bitterly, "Old Master says you should leave for a moment."

Ling Xuejiu pouted. She had wanted to eavesdrop, and she was really feeling frustrated. Normally, she would have glared at Leng Xuan or huffed, but today she had changed quite a bit. With an obedient "Oh," she left, which surprised Leng Xuan. Then it dawned on him that the girl must have been shaken up by today’s events.
