The robber brought Ye You Ran to a house. After locking the door, he started to plan on how to get the ransom money. Some kidnappers called the Tang family.
Several of the kidnappers didn't believe her. They warned her not to attempt to rescue the hostages through the police. If they were unhappy with her, they would tear the tickets. The madame naturally promised not to call the police, but Tang Mingzhu's eyes lit up.
After hanging up, a few kidnappers sat down to discuss. One of them reminded him that the Tang Clan was a reputable person, so wouldn't a hundred million cash be too little? The leader of the kidnappers also felt regretful and felt that the money was too little.
It was not uncommon for kidnappers to go back on their word. Ye You Ran's heart sank when he heard their words. Ye You Ran was no longer as scared as she was before. She carefully observed the terrain.
Now that the kidnappers were removing the black cloth from her eyes, she could see that she was in an apartment, that the kidnappers were pushing her into the room, and that everyone was gathered in the living room talking.
There was a window in Ye You Ran's locked room. There was an iron bar above the window, so there was no way for her to escape. Normally, there were no burglar proof windows in the washroom, so when Ye You Ran asked the kidnapper to go to the bathroom, the kidnapper naturally didn't reject her request.
Ye You Ran entered the bathroom and found that the bathroom window was indeed not equipped with any anti-theft windows. She stood on the toilet and looked outside and realized that she was on the third floor. If she jumped down, it would definitely harm her body.
However, there was an air conditioner hanging up next to the washroom that she was staying in. Under the hanging up was the second floor's rain shelter. If she could climb out of the window and reach the air conditioner hanging up, it would be much better.
However, this method was also very dangerous. If one was not careful, they would fall and be injured. It was just that she couldn't afford to think too much into it now. If the Tang Clan didn't agree to the terms of the kidnapping, the kidnappers would likely tear up the votes. No matter what, she had to put up a fight.
Ye You Ran returned to his room and waited. In a flash, another two hours had passed. The kidnapper then called the Tang Clan. The Tang Clan said that they had prepared the money and arranged a transaction with the kidnapper.
The kidnapper sent two men to get the ransom, but did not bring Ye You Ran along. Ye You Ran knew that the kidnapper wanted to change his mind, and not long after the two kidnappers went out to get the money, she offered to go to the washroom again.
Ye You Ran entered the bathroom and locked the door. She immediately took action, thinking it was easy but not easy to do. It took her a lot of effort to climb out of the window and stand on the outside air conditioner.
The kidnapper saw that she had been inside for so long and did not come out to knock on the door. Ye You Ran jumped out of the air conditioner with his eyes closed.
Fortunately, there was the rain shelter at the bottom of the roof. She jumped up and down, and the one with the heaviest force was her ankle. The moment her foot touched the ground, a heart-wrenching pain came from her ankle.
Soon, the door was kicked open, but there was no one inside. "Boss, the hostage has escaped!" The kidnapper panicked when he heard that, "What are you waiting for!?" "Hurry up and chase him!"
She knew that at her current speed, she would never be able to escape from the kidnappers' pursuit. The most dangerous place was the safest place. She didn't run out but turned back instead, hiding in the green zone downstairs.
The robber temporarily stayed here and wasn't familiar with the house and the terrain, so he went downstairs to chase them. After chasing them for a distance, the kidnapper who went to get the ransom called.
"Boss, we've been tricked. There's no ransom at all, they chose to call the police. Right now, there are police everywhere, let's quickly escape!"
When the leader of the kidnappers heard that something terrible was about to happen, he brought his men and fled in panic.
Tang Mingzhu happily went to the hospital to visit Gao Xiulan, who was already feeling much better. She was talking to her aunt, and was very happy to see Tang Mingzhu, "Mingzhu, you actually don't have to come visit me every day."
"I have nothing to do anyway." Tang Mingzhu sat down on the bed and spoke warmly to Gao Xiulan. Qin Zifei returned from smoking and saw his mother and Tang Mingzhu's happy expressions. His expression was gloomy and unreadable.
When Tang Mingzhu left the ward, she saw Qin Zifei standing in the corridor with his back against the wall, staring blankly. She reached out to push him, "Why didn't you come in?"
Qin Fei came back to his senses, "Tang Ming Zhu, I have something to ask you!"
"Is it about Auntie?" "Don't worry, auntie has calmed down …"
"No, it's about you and me." Qin Zifei stared at her beautiful face, "Tang Mingzhu, do you really want to marry me that much?"
Tang Mingzhu looked at Qin Zifei in astonishment. She didn't understand why he had said these words, but Qin Zifei followed, "Even if I don't love you, do you still want to marry me?"
Tang Mingzhu nodded, "Qin Zifei, I want to marry you. Even if you don't love me, I also want to marry you!"
"Have you thought about it, I won't give you any love, not even for the rest of your life. You and I will marry and we will be like a couple, I will spend time drinking and drinking outside, and you will also be able to win songs every night. We don't care about each other, and yet you are willing to do this?"
"I'm willing!"
"Alright, Tang Mingzhu, I'm willing to be engaged to you. If you can persevere on for three years after the engagement, I'll marry you!" With that, he pushed open the door and entered the ward.
Tang Mingzhu pinched her wrist in disbelief. It was very painful, this was not a dream! Overjoyed, she trotted out of the hospital, ignoring her image.
A few hours after Tang Yucheng had received the news that Ye Yulan had been kidnapped as a hostage, he rushed over to the Tang Residence. "Grandma, something big has happened. Why didn't you notify me?"
"I was afraid you'd be worried, so …" The old lady didn't dare to look at her grandson, "It was all because of me. I thought that the kidnapper only wanted money, and wanted to save her. Who knew that the kidnapper would not keep his word."
"The kidnappers have disappeared without a trace. Ye You Ran's whereabouts are unknown." Tang Yucheng was so anxious that she jumped up and down, "At that time, you should have told me. What should we do now?"
The person who sent the money back said, "We arrived at the place where we agreed to send the money. The police also went there. The kidnapper probably didn't appear because he saw the police."
"Why would the police appear at a trading location? I clearly didn't inform the police." The old mistress was shocked.
"I don't know either." The man who sent the money replied, "When I drove there, I saw police everywhere."
"Who informed the police?" The old lady looked at the people in the room and realized that Tang Mingzhu had not entered, "Where is the young miss?"
"Miss went to the hospital to visit Lady Wang!" "Yes," a servant replied. The old lady's face darkened. Just as she was about to flare up, the phone rang. The police called. They said they found Ye Yiran and were on their way to the hospital.
The old lady and Tang Yucheng immediately rushed to the hospital. Ye You Ran's ankle was twisted and his body was slightly bruised.
Seeing that Ye You Ran was fine, the old lady heaved a sigh of relief. Tang Yu Cheng's worries were finally relieved.
Listening to Ye You Ran talk about the escape process, Tang Yucheng felt a bit of sweat run down her back. Jumping off from such a high place and only hurting her leg was truly lucky in the midst of her misfortune.
The old lady was extremely grateful to Ye You Ran. Her attitude was completely different from before. She held Ye You Ran's hand and told her to take good care of her wounds and not to worry about anything else.
After the old lady left the hospital, she returned home. Tang Mingzhu had long been waiting anxiously in the living room. When she saw the old lady, she came over, "Grandmother, I have some good news to tell you!"
However, the old lady wasn't as kind as she usually was. Instead, she gave a cold command, "Take me."
Tang Mingzhu followed the old lady into the study. After the door closed, the old lady slapped her across the face, "Bastard, did you call the police?"
"Grandmother! "I …" Tang Mingzhu covered her face, the joy in her heart turning into grievance. She really wanted to deny that she wasn't the one who called the police, but she didn't dare to deny it when the old lady glared at her, so she could only lower her head in silence.
The old lady stared coldly at her, "You'd better speak honestly. If I find out …"
"Grandma, I was just thinking for her. If the kidnappers tear the tickets, the police can save her."
"You actually dare to quibble, afraid that the kidnappers would tear up the votes and cause the police to appear at the scene with such fanfare?" "You are trying to kill Ye You Ran!"
This granddaughter of hers had always been the one who had watched her grow up. She was docile, obedient, and able to speak, and she was very likeable. It was she who had always been by her side the entire time, but she had never thought that everything she normally saw was actually fake.
"I didn't expect you to be so vicious, to actually be able to distinguish between right and wrong. You really disappoint me by acting like this!"
"Grandmother, I'm confused too. Ye Yulan is delaying brother, and you can't bear to do so. I …" Tang Mingzhu still refused to give up, "Ye You Ran might have her own motive for doing this. As long as you're soft-hearted, she'll be able to be with big brother!"
"You actually want to lie to me at this time?" Did you think I was old and muddled? " The old lady looked at Tang Mingzhu with eyes full of disappointment.
"You actually dare to boast so shamelessly that you did this for your big brother? I think it should be because of that kid from the Qin family, right? Do you think that since Ye Yulan died, the son of the Qin would have to marry you? Let me tell you, if it's that simple, then all the rich people would murder and burn to achieve their own goals. What police do they need, what justice do they need? "
"Grandma, I was wrong!" Tang Mingzhu immediately kneeled on the ground. Today's matter was my fault. I was possessed by a trance, that's why I did that. Grandmother, please forgive me! "
"Fortunately, Ye Yulan was lucky enough to escape this calamity, otherwise …" The old lady was really scared.
However, Tang Mingzhu was after all her own granddaughter, so she did not pursue the matter further. She only ordered her to reflect on it, "You should go back and think about it. Mingzhu, being selfish and evil is not good for your future life."
