CHAPTER 699: CHAPTER 701:

Indeed, asking for cash really isn’t very wise.

The kidnapper quickly issued another command, "One billion, converted into ten thousand one-million checks, come to the place I designate," he laughed sinisterly, "and if you dare to call the police like last time, don’t blame me for tearing up the tickets!"

The call was abruptly disconnected.

Qin Yuan really wanted to remind him that they wouldn’t call the police here but that their response would be far more secretive and terrifying than calling the police.

However, she couldn’t do that in front of them.

Mo Shu said, "Since I can only go alone, Ji Biao and Ji Ren can stay here to protect Grandpa and Mrs. Qin. I’ll be back soon, oh, and, don’t tell Yu Siqiao about me going to pay the ransom."

Ji Ren and Ji Biao, Mo Shu’s most capable bodyguards.

Qin Yuan hadn’t thought much of it, but who knew that when Mo Shu said "close protection," these bodyguards would really stick so ’closely.’

They followed her wherever she went, Qin Yuan tried to send them away, but they were very obstinate, "We only follow Princess Mo’s orders, we can only leave if Princess Mo tells us to."

Qin Yuan was extremely frustrated but didn’t dare to show it, so she could only smile gently and say, "It’s okay, we’re at home, not outside. Princess Mo won’t blame you."

Ji Biao and Ji Ren stopped talking, but still didn’t leave her side.

Qin Yuan wanted to call that person to inform him about the situation, but she was being watched by them, so she had to settle for sending a text message instead.

While she was editing the text message, Ji Biao and Ji Ren were watching her, Qin Yuan was completely annoyed and immediately walked outside.

However, as soon as she stepped out, she happened to run into Yu Siqiao, who had just arrived hoping to pick his wife up to take her home.

Seeing that his wife was not there, Yu Siqiao already had an ominous premonition. Seeing Qin Yuan, he immediately asked, "Aunt Qin, where is Mo Shu?"

Qin Yuan opened her mouth and then said, "You... don’t know? She went to save her dad."

Yu Siqiao’s face darkened like still water, "What do you mean?"

Qin Yuan hadn’t expected the old man to have not told him yet, so she briefly explained the kidnapper’s demands, but the closer she got to the end of her explanation, the softer her voice became.

Because Yu Siqiao all over seemed like an Asura on the brink of war, sending chills down one’s spine and striking fear at first glance.

Qin Yuan instinctively took a step back and immediately said, "She went willingly; it’s her dad. He’s been kidnapped, and she’s very anxious..."

Yu Siqiao sneered coldly, his gaze sharp and frosty, "If anything happens to her, I want your life as compensation!"

This powerful presence turned Qin Yuan’s face a shade paler, she didn’t dare to say another word, and could only watch as Yu Siqiao briskly walked away.

Mo Shu followed the kidnapper’s instructions and finally arrived at the plains at the borderlands.

This place was a loess sandland with an open view all around, not a place where anyone could hide. The only building was minuscule and likely served as their temporary base.

Similarly, making a transaction in such a place would easily expose them if they were seen.

This kidnapper really had nerves of steel.

Mo Shu had grown up without ever facing such a situation, and it was inevitable that she’d be a little nervous. She asked Sao Zha, "Is the method you taught me really going to work?"

Sao Zha: [If it doesn’t work, I, the Crown Prince, will stand on my head and wash my hair!]

Mo Shu scornfully replied, "You don’t even have a hair on your head, what is there to wash?"

Sao Zha: [... Anyway, since it’s useful, that’s all that matters!]

Mo Shu: Fine then.

After Mo Shu had been at the location for over ten minutes, the kidnapper finally appeared, seemingly after confirming that it was safe.
