Chapter 171: Chapter 171 It’s all the trouble caused by that beast!

Bo Mansion, Mrs. Bo had just hung up the phone when her eyes met with Bo Yuanshan, who had just come out of the study.

His gaze narrowed upon seeing the mobile phone in her hand. Lowering his voice, Bo Yuanshan grasped Mrs. Bo’s wrist and asked, "What did you just do?"

Mrs. Bo shook off Bo Yuanshan’s hand, "What could I do? I was of course calling Qin Yan to let Yunshen come down the mountain!"

"The kidnappers have already called. Qin Yinyin isn’t on the mountain at all!"

"With the weather being this bad, do you really expect me to let my son wait to die on the mountain?!"

Bo Yuanshan’s tightly knit brows slightly relaxed as he responded, "You’re right, we need to descend the mountain quickly. The kidnappers specifically asked for Yanyan to bring the money to pay the ransom. I’ll first call her to tell her not to panic."

"Fifty million is not a big sum for the Bo Family. We don’t lack that amount of money!"

As he spoke, he reached for his mobile phone with the intention of calling Qin Yan.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Bo’s face suddenly changed, and she stepped forward, grabbing Bo Yuanshan’s arm with a cold voice, "Don’t call!"

"Don’t call?"

Bo Yuanshan, his brows still furrowed, looked disapprovingly at Mrs. Bo, "One moment you say to call, the next you say not to! What on earth do you want to do?"

Mrs. Bo clenched her teeth, her gaze fixed firmly on Bo Yuanshan, and slowly said, "I haven’t told Qin Yan about Qin Yinyin being kidnapped..."

Bo Yuanshan: "..."

The scuffle between the two quickly alerted Shen Ruyun and the other ladies-in-law who were sitting in the living room.

When the kidnapper called, they were all present, along with Mrs. Bo calling Qin Yan, none of them deliberately avoided.

They all heard the kidnappers’ demand for fifty million and for Qin Yan to go alone to retrieve the child.

Each point indicated that the kidnappers taking Qin Yinyin was not an accident but rather premeditated!

The unintentionally raised voice of Mrs. Bo led them to believe that the dispute between Mrs. Bo and Bo Yuanshan was due to the kidnapping of Qin Yinyin.

"Qin Yan would do anything for Qin Yinyin! Qin Yinyin was lost by Yunshen, I’m afraid that she..."

"What are you afraid of? She’s alone on the mountain, do you think she could kill Yunshen?!"

Fang Weiwei stepped forward, pulling Mrs. Bo away and said in a low voice, "Dad, don’t panic just yet. Mom must have her reasons for doing this."

His face looked terrible, but in front of his daughters-in-law, he didn’t want to make a scene.

He just glanced at Mrs. Bo and let her speak.

"She can’t kill Yunshen, but she might well make him stay and die with her on the mountain! Yunshen is my life, not a hair can come to harm!"

"You’re being ridiculous!"

Bo Yuanshan coldly snapped, "Do you think Yanyan is like you? That unreasonable?"

"Dad, how can you say that about mom? Qin Yan is indeed capable of doing anything for Qin Yinyin! Even knowing the dangers of landslides due to this weather, she still insisted on staying to look for the child."

Shen Ruyun chipped in.

Her face deliberately wore a look of anxiety, but inwardly she felt a touch of glee.

They didn’t know that Mr. Qian might be asking for money, but the likelihood of returning the child was uncertain!

Even if Bo Yuanshan and others truly wanted to pay the ransom, it was futile!

"For Qin Yinyin, she’d even risk her own life, let alone that of the fourth younger brother?"

"I think mom keeping this from Qin Yan is not wrong at all!"

"Enough, Ruyun!" Fang Weiwei furrowed her brow and barked, "Things are chaotic enough here between mom and dad, why are you adding fuel to the fire? Just keep quiet!"

Ruyun choked up.

Jiang Xue pursed her lips and whispered, "Sister-in-law, how much did the fourth sister give you for you to speak for her like this?"

Fang Weiwei was always the most composed among the three sisters-in-law. She ignored Jiang Xue and looked at Bo Yuanshan, "Dad, I guess Mom is also doing this for the good of the fourth brother and sister."

Seeing Bo Yuanshan’s lack of response, she whispered again, "It’s raining now, and Mom isn’t saying anything. She must be worried they’ll panic when they hear Yinyin has been kidnapped. If they rush down the mountain, it would be too dangerous."

"If something happens to the fourth sister, the fourth brother would definitely not leave her alone to return. He’s still injured, and the rainwater isn’t clean, which could lead to even more dangerous infections!"

"Dad, Mom has only one son left! Her worries are understandable! Please don’t be endlessly angry with her."

After Fang Weiwei finished speaking, Jiang Xue mockingly retorted, "What a melodious speech, sister-in-law. It almost sounds better than a song!"

"The child isn’t Yunshen’s; Qin Yan is reckless and still drags Yunshen along! Why do you make Qin Yan sound so noble?"

"Three years ago, it was she, Qin Yan, who desperately wanted to marry into our Bo Family. We don’t owe Qin Yan anything! Why should we pay to ransom her daughter?"

Qin Yan knew Jiang Xue’s vulnerabilities, and Jiang Xue held a grudge! Now that Qin Yan was not around, her resentment naturally vented however it could!

She thought Qin Yan was so capable?

If she was so capable, she should ransom her child with her own money!

"Shut up!"

Bo Yuanshan shouted in anger!

"Don’t you know Qin Yan’s character? The child is safer on the mountain than in the kidnappers’ hands. What if Qin Yan goes mad? What about my son?"

Mrs. Bo didn’t have the time to deal with the undercurrents between them and said with red eyes, "Yuanshan, you don’t want anything to happen to the two children, do you?"

"You know the child is even more at risk with the kidnappers; you worry only about your son!"

"Is your son a human, and other people’s children are not?"

Hearing Bo Yuanshan’s words, Mrs. Bo nearly crumbled.

"I did this just in case! Yunshen was beaten enough by you the day before yesterday. If something bad happens on the mountain, wouldn’t it kill me?"

"Moreover, the kidnappers said they want money, she won’t be harmed anytime soon!"

"Let’s keep Yinyin’s kidnapping secret, until they come down from the mountain, okay?"

Time etched lines on Mrs. Bo’s face, her slightly wrinkled brow and eyes bore traces of years.

"Dad, we can’t hide it for long. When they come down from the mountain, we’ll tell them!"

Bo Yuanshan, with veins prominent on his hand holding the phone, suddenly slammed the phone down.

"Crash!"

The loud sound made everyone shiver.

The phone shattered!

"It’s all that bastard’s fault!"

Although Bo Yuanshan continued to curse, his actions assured everyone that he would not call Qin Yan. He would not compromise his own son’s life just for a Qin Yinyin.

...

After Bo Yunshen finished his sarcastic remarks about Qin Yan, he turned around without hesitation and retraced his steps.

He tugged at the clothes that were soaked through on his body, his heart piled up with thin anger.

All the dishevelment he had experienced in his life was related to her, Qin Yan!
