Chapter 203: Tear the Ticket?

Chapter 203: Chapter 203: Tear the Ticket?

His breathing weakened in his chest; standing between the emptiness of heaven and earth, Bo Yunshen still felt a crushing inability to breathe.

It felt as if there were nails under his feet; he couldn’t stand still and paused for three or four minutes, Qin Yan’s figure in his sight growing increasingly smaller.

Bo Yunshen closed his eyes briefly, his mind full of suspicion.

There were too many mistakes in this kidnapping; in Tong City, nobody was unaware of his and Qin Yan’s relationship, almost incompatible as fire and water!

Taking advantage of the day they paid respects to Bo Yunci, someone had brazenly kidnapped her near the Bo Family Ancestral Hall within less than half an hour, in broad daylight!

Bo Yunshen really doubted it was a long-planned act. They clearly didn’t understand Qin Yinyin’s insignificant status in the Bo Family.

To say there was no preparation, they had still climbed the mountain to the Bo Family Ancestral Hall and kidnapped her!

The kidnapper’s inconsistency was too great. Qin Yan, a woman alone, had ventured there—whatever misfortune befell her, she had nowhere to turn!

Hesitating briefly as Qin Yan was almost out of sight, he suddenly stretched his long legs and chased after her.

Lu Yi and Gu Jinyan knew he’d come with Qin Yan to redeem the child; what if something happened to Qin Yan? He wouldn’t be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Huang River!

Oh, right!

In a moment of anger, he had even told Lu Yi in front of him that he wanted Qin Yan dead. Who knew if Qin Yan would collude with Lu Yi...

As Bo Yunshen thought, his steps seemed to catch the wind; his mind alternated between Qin Yan’s and Qin Yinyin’s faces, unsettled at every moment.

When Bo Yunshen caught up to Qin Yan at the exchange point, she was already confronting the kidnapper.

The other side had a van big enough to hold several people; it had a license plate, but he couldn’t be sure if it was genuine.

The windows were tinted so that one couldn’t see inside from the outside.

At the driver’s seat, however, stood a man with dark skin and a grey T-shirt, leaning against the door, appearing rather simple and honest.

He glanced at Qin Yan, the corner of his mouth twitching as he gave a short laugh.

"Did you bring the money?"

Qin Yan lifted the safety box in his direction and spoke softly, "I want to see my daughter first!"

"After I confirm her safety, then I can give you the money."

The man hooked the corner of his mouth and whispered, "Mrs. Bo, that small box doesn’t look like it can fit fifty million. It seems to me you aren’t sincere about this negotiation!"

Qin Yan’s eyelids twitched violently.

"Yes! Fifty million in cash can’t fit inside, but you demanded that I come alone to redeem my daughter. Fifty million in cash is too much. Not one box, but ten boxes might not be enough!"

"There’s only two hundred thousand in cash in the box. The rest is in a check that I’ve prepared, which can be directly withdrawn from the bank."

Worried they would not release the person, Qin Yan hurriedly explained, "Don’t worry, in compliance with your demands, I haven’t alerted the police before coming here!"

The kidnapper smiled and said softly, "Mrs. Bo, to get your child back, we need to receive the money first!"

"You’re giving me a check, and who knows if the banks are staked out by the police?"

"Bring the check here; I need to send someone to withdraw it to ensure my brothers’ safety. Naturally, we’ll return your daughter!"

Qin Yan’s hands clenched tightly around the safety box; she took a step back and emphasized, "I need to see my daughter first!"

Kidnappers aren’t the kind to reason; hearing this, he stepped forward and tried to snatch the safety box directly.

Caught off guard, the box slipped from Qin Yan’s grip, and she instinctively chased a few steps to block the kidnapper’s path.

"Where’s my daughter? The child?!"

"Now that you’ve got the money, you can’t go back on your word!"

"Return my child to me!"

The corner of the kidnapper’s mouth twitched, and his gaze flicked toward Qin Yan’s direction, his smile tinged with mockery, "Mrs. Bo, are you seriously talking about honesty with a desperado?"

"I must say, the Bo Family has been quite an education."

A bad premonition flickered through Qin Yan’s mind as she followed the kidnapper’s gaze and made eye contact with Bo Yunshen, her pupils contracting slightly.

She thought the kidnapper was displeased that Bo Yunshen had followed, and she quickly grasped the kidnapper’s arm:

"The child, give me back my child first. She’s still running a fever and needs to go to the hospital!"

Having secured the money, the kidnapper lost his temper and shook Qin Yan off; his force was strong enough to fling her onto the sandy ground.

She landed heavily on her injured leg, crying out in pain.

Bo Yunshen caught the scene from the corner of his eye; he strode forward and lifted Qin Yan from the ground, his gaze dark and cold as he stared at the kidnapper, saying coldly, "Where’s the child?"

"Now that you’ve got the money, give the child back!"

"Otherwise..."

The kidnapper stepped back, "Otherwise what? Not only is the Bo Family ruthless and unprincipled, but they’re also dishonest!"

"How do I know you didn’t bring the police with you when you’re not here alone?"

Bo Yunshen’s eyes narrowed, "Are you planning to go back on your word?"

The kidnapper smirked.

"Young Mr. Bo, what you’re saying isn’t right!"

"From the beginning to the end, wasn’t it the Bo Family that spent fifty million to hire us to stage this drama?"

"Taking money to avert disaster! Rest assured, neither of us will let that child live through today!"

With that, the kidnapper got into the van.

Qin Yan’s pupils constricted sharply; her nails dug into the co-driver’s door of the van, each layer of cold sweat on her forehead seeping out.

"What do you mean by that? Clarify your words?"

"Do you intend to kill the hostage? Why? I’ve already brought the money; give me back my child!"

"Give me back Yinyin!"

The man forcefully shut the door, the smile on his lips impatient, and the driver started the vehicle.

"What do you mean?"

He opened the safety box, took out the check, kissed it, then said, "That child isn’t actually in our vehicle. She’s with the other brothers! By now, her body is probably already cold!"

"Mrs. Bo, why play dumb? Isn’t her death exactly what the Bo Family wants? The Bo Family paid us to kill the hostage, so naturally, we’re obliged!"

These words struck Qin Yan like a bolt from the blue, causing her eyes to widen suddenly.

Her legs suddenly lost strength, and she heavily knelt down on the sand.

The kidnapper had already driven the van away, and Qin Yan’s body felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar, her sweat cold and devoid of warmth.

Qin Yan’s heart seemed to have been lifted high and smashed into pieces.

Kill the hostage?

The Bo Family’s intention?

Did the Bo Family spend fifty million to hire a killer?
