Chapter 397: but the money is gone.
On the way to dinner, Li Haitang sat in the back row with his two children in his arms, and the three of them remained silent, all blaming themselves and vexing themselves.
The children were in a good mood because of their forgetfulness and their bravery today. When they arrived at the restaurant, they smelled delicious food and looked at all kinds of exquisite and delicious snacks and pastries. The greedy insects in their stomachs were completely drawn out, and the previous panic and fear were completely forgotten by them.
Mom, the little lizard did really well today. It helped us get rid of that bad woman and bit her a lot. The little lizard is a little hungry now. Can I let it out and feed it?" Duoduo sensed that the lizard in her bag was making a fuss and had to ask her mother first.
Today, the lizard did help a lot, and her daughter was so careful to test it. Li Haitang wanted to laugh a little and nodded in agreement, "Okay, take it out and feed it. See what it can eat. Order it alone."
"There's no need to order alone. I brought it something to eat in my bag." With his mother's permission, Duoduo immediately took out the small basket.
"Honey, you sit here. I'll change seats with you." Jiang Chuheng knew that she was not afraid of lizards, but was born to resist such greasy things. In order not to affect her appetite, she took the initiative to change her position so that she could not see.
Li Haitang smiled helplessly and got up to change seats with him, letting him sit next to his daughter. "I feel numb when I see this lizard alone in the family."
"Actually, I look a little uncomfortable too." When chu xiaoman saw Duoduo release the lizard, the little thing really listened to her, stepped on her palm and ate obediently. Her scalp was a little numb, and she kept rubbing the hairs on her arms.
"Auntie, don't be afraid. The lizard is very gentle and obedient. It doesn't bite people. It just likes to come out often to get some air and crawl around the house." Duoduo spent at least half an hour a day playing with him, preparing all kinds of food for him to eat, and taking care of him with all his heart.
Chu Xiaoman smiled helplessly, "As long as you like it."
While Duoduo was feeding the lizard, others were also asking An' an about the details of what happened today. Although the two children were safe and sound, they still needed to be educated.
Today, their siblings have learned a lot from each other. However, there are many traps in society. They hope that the two children will learn more and listen more from a young age. They want to use their brains to think and analyze things. In this way, they will have less suffering and less detours in the future.
Before the meal was served, Jiang Baichuan suddenly gave an order, "Chu heng, go back and hire a private coach with real skills. Let An' an Duoduo and dawn follow them to learn martial arts. It's not necessarily necessary for them to develop a famous school and learn some basic self-defense skills."
"Yes." They had originally only wanted the two children to attend last weekend's martial arts class, but now that the old man had arranged it this way, he felt that it was quite good.
Jiang Baichuan thought for a moment and looked at his daughter and son-in-law, "Wenwen probably doesn't like martial arts. She shouldn't study it. She should learn dancing and so on. But in the future, you should also pay special attention to her safety, especially the transportation problem between school and school. You must not go home alone. Your husband, wife and nanny should pick her up on time. If you can't pick her up at school, call us earlier."
"Dad, we know." Gao Xuan and Jiang Chuqi both nodded solemnly.
After An' an Duoduo's incident, everyone was once again concerned about the safety of their children. If something happened, they would regret it for the rest of their lives.
In less than ten minutes, the police station called and two kidnappers were caught.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chuyan told them, "We caught him, but the money is gone."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Baichuan stopped his chopsticks and frowned, "In less than half an hour, they were sure they had the money and could transfer it in such a short time? Or are there other accomplices?"
"There are no other accomplices, just the two of them. The two of them were actually mediocre, roaming through many provinces and cities, using this drug to knock out children for extortion, and also doing some sneaky things. According to them, after An' an Duoduo escaped, a woman wearing a mask who couldn't see her face and age suddenly rushed out of hiding and took a bag of money."
"Mantis catches cicadas and sparrows behind!" The others said in unison.
"I'm not sure if this guy was following us all the way, or if he came out halfway. It could also be that the couple are lying and are still interrogating and investigating." Jiang Chuyan also looked a little solemn and looked at the two children with a confused look. "An' an, Duoduo, when you were locked up in the dark room today, did you find anything else unusual? Besides, when you escaped, did you find anyone else hiding nearby?"
The two siblings looked back carefully and shook their heads in unison, "No."
They were in a hurry to escape and didn't pay attention to their surroundings. Duoduo asked curiously, "Uncle, what money is it? Who took it away?"
"Those two scoundrels kidnapped you for ransom. They asked for 500,000 yuan. Your parents gave them the money, and then they went to the dark room to let you go, but you got away with it." Jiang Chuyan explained to her.
Only then did the siblings know about this, and they all looked at their parents apologetically. Five hundred thousand dollars. With so much money, their parents actually did it for them...
"Silly child, don't think too much. As long as you're safe, it's worth it." Jiang Chuheng didn't want the two children to be psychologically burdened by the money.
Li Haitang also quickly comforted him, "An' an, Duoduo, don't think too much. As long as you are safe and sound, nothing else matters. What's more, money is an external thing. If it's gone, it's gone. Our family doesn't need that much money. Mom can earn it back later."
Although both parents were comforting them, the siblings still kept this in mind. They were now in school, and their families had taught them mathematics and money concepts. They vaguely understood that half a million was a huge sum of money, but now they were taken away by the bad guys, and they were always unhappy.
"Money is not important, just to identify the person who took it from behind. It would be easier if the other party just happened to be greedy and took the opportunity to pick up a leak. If this person was following An' an and Duoduo along the way, things would be complicated." Jiang Baichuan was also worried about the safety of the two children. He said to his son and daughter-in-law with a straight face, "Chu heng, haitang, you must protect the two children during this period of time. In addition, look carefully at the people who may act. Don't let go of anything suspicious, especially haitang's business competitors."
"Yes." The couple nodded solemnly.
"The two scoundrels who have been caught are also being interrogated. We must get more useful information from them." Jiang Baichuan said.
Jiang Chuyan nodded, "Yes."
