Chapter 240 Don’t even think about it
Gu Jing reported the information he had gathered: "She went missing early this morning. Her cell phone signal was last detected in France, and the Ling family is currently searching for her."
"France? In the early morning?"
Su Yiran took a deep breath.
She frowned as she recalled some of the things that happened yesterday.
Could it be related to that man?
Did Ling Wu fly directly to France after leaving the club?
But why did she suddenly fly to France?
She knew perfectly well that going to France at this time would be detrimental to her, so why did she still do it?
As Su Yiran was pondering, her phone suddenly rang.
It was Lingwu's call.
"Lingwu".
Su Yiran answered the phone.
"You finally answered the phone."
A male voice came through the phone; it sounded somewhat familiar and was basically the same as the voice of the man from yesterday.
"It's you! Where's Ling Wu? What have you done to her?!"
Su Yiran held her phone and glanced at Gu Jing.
Gu Jing understood, took out his phone and made a call.
"I'm warning you, if Ling Wu loses even a single hair, I won't let you get away with this!"
"Hahaha……"
A man's maniacal laughter came from the phone, making Su Yiran frown. "Where are you?"
"I want fifty million, or you can just wait to collect her corpse!"
"Fifty million? Are you trying to rip me off?"
Su Yiran said coldly, "It was only ten million yesterday, and suddenly it has increased fivefold. You have quite the appetite. Aren't you afraid of overeating?"
So, are you going to give it to me or not?
"..."
Su Yiran took a deep breath. "Yes, I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you, but fifty million is not a small amount. I can't come up with it in a short time. Give me some time to raise the money."
"Three days! I'll give you three days at most! If I don't see fifty million after three days, I'll kill her!"
"Three days?"
Su Yiran said, "Even if the printing press were to burn out all the printing presses, it wouldn't be able to print fifty million. Ten days, give me ten days."
"Five days, at most five days, no discussion!"
"……it is good."
Su Yiran lowered her eyes, "Then how should I give it to you?"
"We'll talk about it once you've raised the money."
The other party was about to hang up.
"Wait a moment!"
Su Yiran frowned. "I want to talk to Ling Wu."
beep-
The call was immediately hung up.
"..."
Su Yiran cursed under her breath, put down her phone, and looked at Gu Jing, "So, did you find out?"
Gu Jing looked troubled. "We were about to find out, but there was an expert on the other side, so we were discovered and the investigation was cut off."
"..."
Su Yiran bit her lip tightly.
Charles.
A person came to mind.
"What's the situation with Charles lately?"
When Federer returns, he will naturally want to compete with Charles for territory. Two tigers cannot share one mountain, so let's see how the two of them fight it out.
“Charles and Federer were locked in a fierce battle, and Charles tried to see Mr. Federer several times, but was turned away each time.”
It was within Su Yiran's expectations that Gu Yanli would not see Charles.
"Sir never thought highly of Charles. He was too underhanded. After Federer lost power, he used his influence to take control of Federer's former territory. Since it didn't affect our interests, Sir turned a blind eye."
阴?
That's definitely a bit creepy.
"Get ready. I'm going to France."
Since they've taken the initiative to approach her, she won't just sit idly by.
Ling Wu and Gu Yanli had that kind of relationship, and she did feel uncomfortable about it, but apart from that, she had no grudges against her.
The last time she was harassed in the restroom, her appearance was probably because she guessed that something was going to happen to her and rushed over specifically for that purpose.
"lady?"
Gu Jing frowned. "You want to rescue Miss Ling? If you have this intention, you don't need to come forward personally. Just report the clues, and someone will follow up. It's too dangerous for you to come forward."
"I'll discuss this with Ayan. You go and make the preparations first."
Su Yiran knew he was worried about her safety.
She had considered calling the police, but it was clear that Ling Wu had something in that man's hands that she couldn't reveal to others. If she called the police, it might push him to the edge, and he might do anything in the meantime.
"it is good."
Gu Yanli was in the study when Su Yiran, who was about to go there, heard that the Ling family had arrived.
Their arrival at this time is most likely related to Lingwu's matter.
Mrs. Lan was home today, so we invited her in.
Su Yiran stood upstairs, watching the person come in.
"Madam Lan..."
As soon as Madam Ling saw Madam Lan, she burst into tears.
The other person looked haggard, probably because he had worried a lot during Lingwu.
"What's going on here?"
Madam Lan had no idea what had happened and was completely confused. "Let's sit down and talk," she said.
"it is good."
Madam Ling nodded, looked at her, and briefly recounted what had happened. "...We really have no other choice. The person disappeared in France, and we have no connections there. Please help us because of the marriage agreement between our two families. If anything happens to Ah Wu, I won't be able to go on living."
“I really like Ah Wu. I’ll talk to Ah Yan about it later. If we can help, we definitely will.”
Madam Lan said, "As for the engagement... let it go. Ayan has a very good relationship with my daughter-in-law, and they even had a son."
Madam Ling's expression changed slightly, but then she calmed down. "We'll talk about the engagement later. It depends on what the children think. We parents can't make the decision for them."
"..."
Madam Lan simply smiled and remained silent.
……
"What bad habit, eavesdropping on your elders?"
Su Yiran was leaning on the handrail when a voice came from behind her, startling her.
She lowered her voice, "What are you doing? Walking so quietly, who are you trying to scare to death?"
"Whoever is guilty is the one who's trying to scare others."
Gu Yanli held her hand, "What did you hear?"
"..."
Su Yiran looked at him, "At the wrap party that day, do you remember me telling you that I saw Ling Wu?"
"Ok?"
“Actually, I ran into her and another man that day. They had a big argument and were arguing fiercely,” Su Yiran said. “She asked for ten million right off the bat. I just received a call from her. It was that man calling from Ling Wu’s phone. He directly asked for fifty million, which is outrageous.”
"Fifty million?"
Gu Yanli raised an eyebrow. "The Ling family might be able to come up with fifty million."
Su Yiran: "But I don't think that man would release someone just because he saw money."
"Ok?"
Gu Yanli suddenly frowned. "What are your plans?"
"The person disappeared in France, so I want to go to France."
"..."
The man's eyes darkened. "Don't even think about it!"
"..."
Su Yiran was certain that Gu Yanli would disagree, so she took Gu Yanli's hand and said, "I think this matter is inextricably linked to Charles."
"So you're going to see Charles?"
Gu Yanli pinched her cheek in an annoyed tone.
