1786 Unbearable
When they were halfway back home, someone asked her to play mahjong at night. She agreed immediately and asked the driver to send her there. Then, she asked him to send Wei Heguang back.
â¦
The next morning, He Shihui arrived at the He familyâs mansion.
After all, it was rare for Wei Heguang to stay here, and he was staying with Da Bao and Gun Gun. She was very worried.
!!
When she walked in, she saw Da Bao and Gun Gun playing with Wei Heguangâs toys. She smiled and asked, âGun Gun, whereâs Brother Heguang?â
âHe left last night,â Gun Gun said in a childish voice.
He Shihui thought that he was still young and did not understand the situation. She smiled and said, âDidnât he say that he would stay with you?â
âHis grandmother took him home,â Gun Gun said.
He Shihui felt that something was wrong. When she saw Old Master He coming over, she immediately asked, âGrandpa, whereâs Heguang?â
âYour mother came to pick her up last night. She said that something happened at home. Whatâs wrong?â Old Master He asked.
âHe Guang didnât come back last night!â He Shihuiâs heart tightened. âMy mother didnât come back either!â
âHurry up and call her!â Old Master He said immediately.
He Shihui called Wang Hui.
It took a while for the call to go through.
Wang Huiâs voice was lazy and tired. âShihui, what happened?â
âDid you take Heguang away?â
âThatâs right.â
He Shihui heaved a sigh of relief. âWhere are you now?â
âIâm playing mahjong outside. Wait, thereâs another round!â Wang Huiâs voice was filled with joy when she heard the sound of mahjong tiles.
He Shihui was so angry that her heart tightened. âStop playing! Why are you still playing mahjong? Iâm asking you about Heguang.â
âI came to play mahjong last night and asked the driver to send He Guang back.â Wang Hui was still unaware of He Shihuiâs emotions.
âBut He Guang didnât come back last night! I thought he was in the He familyâs mansion, so I didnât ask! I didnât see the driver either! Why are you still playing mahjong?!â
Wang Hui was also shocked. âIâll be right back!â
Old Master He was also anxious. âI saw that your mother came to pick up Heguang, but I didnât expect her to be so unreliable! Hurry up and get someone to look for him!â
Da Bao handed him his phone. âI gave him a phone. Call him.â
The call went through, but no one picked up.
No one answered the driverâs call either.
He Shihuiâs heart ached. She immediately called the police.
Wei Jiangfan also rushed over as quickly as possible.
When Wang Hui came over, the atmosphere in the entire house was so dark that it was suffocating.
He Shihui glared at Wang Hui angrily. It was Wei Jiangfan who stopped her from venting her anger.
Wang Hui was trembling with fear. âI⦠I just thought that it wasnât safe for him to stay in the He familyâs mansion, so I picked Heguang up and brought him home, soâ¦â
He Shihuiâs eyes were red. âNot safe? Did you bring him home safely, then? Why didnât you tell us that you were coming to pick him up?â
Wang Hui was in the wrong and did not dare to respond.
She was selfish and did not want Wei Heguang to have too much contact with Da Bao and Gun Gun.
She really did not expect such a thing to happen.
âHave you called the police?â she whispered.
Wei Jiangfan said, âYes, but there are no clues yet. Iâve already arranged for people to look for them.â
Old Master He and Old Madam He were also anxious. They kept drinking tea to suppress the discomfort in their hearts.
Da Bao and Gun Gun sat quietly at the side without saying anything.
A moment later, He Shihui received a call. The other partyâs voice had been specially processed.
Sensing something, she immediately pressed the loudspeaker button.
The person spoke in English with a heavy accent, âWei Heguang is in our hands. Prepare a ransom of 100 million USD for the exchange! Youâre not allowed to call the police!â
She was about to say something when the other party hung up.
He Shihui almost fainted!
Old Madam He was so anxious that her voice was unsteady. âHeguang was kidnapped!â
Everyone panicked.
These wealthy families had actually heard of such things before. Hence, when children went out, they usually took safety measures by bringing along drivers and bodyguards.
It was easy to be targeted. Everyone knew that these families could fork out money and they valued their children, so some people would specially target them.
If Wang Hui had not panicked and done such a thing, this situation would not have happened.
Wang Hui immediately asked, âDid Lu Heting and Su Bei do it?â
Old Madam He said angrily, âDrag her out and lock her up!â
At a time like this, she was still stupid enough to say such things. Old Madam He could not tolerate it!
Wang Hui also knew that she had misspoken. Without waiting for anyone to come, she shrank to the side to show that she was in the wrong.
...
Old Madam He was in no mood to care about her and let her stay.
Of course, the others knew that Lu Heting and Su Bei couldnât have done it. How could they be so stupid?
He Shihui grabbed Wei Jiangfanâs hand. âHubby, should we call the police or something?â
She was already in a mess and did not know what to do.
If she didnât call the police, would she have to pay them directly?
Previously, the children of a few families were also kidnapped. After the kidnappers were paid, they killed the hostages. It made people tremble in fear when they heard the news. It was even more painful for those families to lose both their childrenâs lives and money.
However, there had been precedents when it came to calling the police. When the kidnappers found out that the families had called the police, they would kill the hostages in a fit of anger.
At the thought of this, He Shihui really wanted to faint.
Wei Jiangfan calmed down a little. âLetâs wait for a while. Iâll get someone to gather the money first and see if I can stabilize the situation as much as possible. Then, Iâll find out the kidnappersâ whereabouts.â
Old Master He said, âJiangfan is right. Letâs gather the money first.â
Although the two families couldnât fork out 100 million USD just like that, they could if given some time.
...
As long as they could protect Little Heguang, the entire family was willing to do anything!
Wei Jiangfan and Old Master He had already gotten someone to gather the money.
Old Madam He sat in the living room helplessly, crying with He Shihui.
In the afternoon, the police came to visit them.
It was because they found the body of the driver who was supposed to send Heguang home.
Hearing the news, Old Madam He and He Shihui fainted at the same time.
When He Shihui woke up, she saw Wei Jiangfan in front of her and could not help but feel sad. âHubby!â
âDonât worry too much. The police said that the kidnappers took the driver and Heguang away. Their initial guess is that the kidnappers thought the driver was too much of a hindrance and had no value, so they killed him. Heguang should be fine for the time being,â Wei Jiangfan comforted.
However, He Shihui was not comforted at all. If even the driverâs life wasnât spared, how gentle could those kidnappers be to He Guang?
As there had already been a murder, they had no choice but to tell the police about the kidnapping. They told them about the kidnappersâ call.
