Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heires

Chapter 1472 - Ten Million Dollar Ransom

Chapter 1472: Ten Million Dollar Ransom

At this point, Ning Shuqian was utterly exhausted from anxiety because of the missing Ning Yuya.

That day she finally gathered her courage to plead that person for help. In the end, not only did that person rejected her, he even scolded and warned her. Although she was furious, her fear towards that person was deeply rooted in her heart and she could not even think of going against him.

It had been ten whole days since Yuya went missing. The person who “kidnapped” her did not even contact her during this period. She was completely filled with fear.

If Yuya was really “kidnapped”, then the kidnapper would be asking for ransom immediately since the longer they dragged this, the more disadvantaged they would be. Of course, there were experienced kidnappers who would make use of time for extortion. They would make use of the parents’ anxiety over their missing child and make them lose all rationality. This way, they would be more willing to hand over the ransom. Even so, they would not have dragged on for so long.

As such, she did not believe that Yuya’s disappearance was just a simple “kidnapping” case. After their plan to get rid of Old Mr. Mo failed, the way Xia Ruya ended up after the car accident kept haunting her mind every second. She did not know if Wen Xinya was behind all these as revenge.

Ning Shuqian sat anxiously on the sofa and muttered, “Yuya... where are you?”

How is Yuya currently? Did those cruel and violent kidnappers hurt her? Yuya was sheltered since young, how could she endure all the pain? Is she in fear?

The moment she recalled the loud slap and Yuya’s cries through the phone that day, it felt as if her heart was stabbed. She was terrified, anxious, uneasy and frantic.

In these past ten days, she had never once given up on finding her daughter. Initially, it was painful to spend an exorbitant amount of money on the search. Now, she was numb and just hoped to find her daughter soon.

In the midst of her panic, the phone rang.

Ning Shuqian was really worked up and grabbed the phone in a swoop. She checked and there was a message from the number that had contacted her previously.

Ning Shuqian quickly opened it. “Bring ten million yuan to XXXX in the East immediately. Come alone, don’t bring anybody with you. If you contact the police, you’ll never see your daughter ever again.”

The East was known to be the most chaotic place in the Capital city. Most of the entertainment business of the country were located there, and there were all sorts of sleazy and shady deals. Even prestigious and influential men would have to know their place when they were in the East for fear of offending dangerous characters.

The other party must have a powerful background for choosing to meet in there.

Luckily, she did not contact the police yet.

Ning Shuqian held her phone and shivered. She sent a message quickly. “I’ve already prepared the money. I want to talk to my daughter and ensure that she is safe.”

Ning Shuqian was not a fool. It was basic knowledge to ensure the victim’s safety before handing over the ransom. This way, the kidnappers would not hurt the victim after knowing that they were guaranteed to have the ransom money. Back when Wen Xinya was kidnapped, she was nearly killed after the kidnappers got their money. If Xu Zhenyu of the Xu family did not forcefully save her, she would have been long dead.

Now that the same thing was happening to Yuya, there was no way she could make the same mistake. Since the other party actually contacted her, it meant that they cared about this sum of money. Her request was reasonable as well, so the other party would not reject.

There were no replies after sending out her message.

She was frantic.

Her mind began to wander. Did they see her message? Did she provoke them with her message?

Just as Ning Shuqian was regretting her action, the phone rang. It was a phone call this time.

Ning Shuqian immediately answered it and cried out, “Yuya, is it you? Yuya, are you okay? Did they hurt you? Are you scared? Mum will definitely save you...”

It had been ten whole days since she had any contact with her daughter. Ning Shuqian had already lost her mind.

Then, Ning Yuya’s sobs could be heard from the other side of the phone. “Mum... I’m so scared, come and save me. They locked me in complete darkness and starved me. They’ve been hitting me too... Mum...”

Ning Yuya’s cries were filled with terror. Her voice had lost its sharpness and was horse. These ten days must have been hard on her.

“Yuya...” Ning Shuqian panicked. When she was about to continue her words, the sound from the phone was replaced by a continuous dial tone. They had hung up on her.

Shuqian looked at her phone in defeat. The phone call was only twenty seconds long. It was obvious just how cunning the other party was. The closer they were to get the money, the more cautious they were.

Ning Shuqian hurriedly sent another message. “How can I believe that you won’t hurt her after receiving the money?”

Ning Shuqian was uneasy at how careful the other party was. She believed that as long as the kidnappers wanted money, they would reply to her.

As expected, she received a reply after around ten minutes. “Your daughter will be released after we get the random. If we don’t, she’ll die. Do as you deem fit!”

The tone was harsh and cold, preventing Ning Shuqian from bugging them any further.

Ning Shuqian gritted her teeth and replied. “Okay, I believe you. Please keep your promise and don’t harm my daughter. I’ll send you the money now. I’ll be there alone and I won’t contact the police.”

After sending the message, Ning Shuqian rushed to get the car. Ever since she received the call of Yuya’s disappearance, she had begun to collect money. Ten million yuan was not a small sum. Although she had her own personal funds, it would draw people’s attention if such a large sum was moved. Ten days were just enough for her to quietly transfer out all the money.

It was painful, but she was willing to take out this sum of money for her daughter.

After all, she was not the same Ning Shuqian as in the past. She had Wen Haowen in her palm now. In these few years, Wen Haowen had listened to her every bid and call. He had given her expensive jewelry and many credit cards. On top of that, she had also gotten many benefits from helping that person to carry out orders. After saving Yuya, she would still be able to get her hands on money from Wen Haowen.

Ning Shuqian went to the garage. In her car, there were ten million yuan in cash.
