Li Zhijun held onto Shen Wingâs arm and said, âNing Ning, stay calm. This isnât the time to panic.11
Shen Ning responded in distress, âCan I really stay calm? Coco is just five years old/1 her heart aching ar rhe thought of her child in danger.
âIn moments like this, we need to keep our wits about us,â advised Li Zhijun as he paced around the living room.
After a while, he stopped in front of Shen Ning, his expression serious. ââNing Ning, thereâs only one person who can help you now.â
âWho?â
âThe childâs real father, Li Zhenting.â
âNo/1 Shen Ning instantly stepped back, shaking her head vehemently.
Letting Li Zhenting help rescue Coco would expose everything, and sheâd lose Coco forever.
âShen Ning, think about it carefully,â Li Zhijun sighed. âI understand your concerns, but at this moment, Coco is in grave danger. Only Li Zhenting has the ability to save him. Other options, like calling the police, may nor work.â
Shen Ning clutched her head in despair. âThey want to deal with me. Let them do whatever they want. As long as Coco is safe.â
Li Zhijun shook his head with a bitter smile. âShen Ning, let me ask you, do you have one billion dollars? No, you donât. Theyâre demanding one billion dollars as the first condition, and there may be more demands later. Even if you manage to ger one billion, do you think rushing in alone will ensure Cocoâs safety? No, theyâll only become more ruthless. They might even capture you, and youâd be walking into a trap. These are ruthless criminals, even the police canât handle them. Have you thought about Xiao Xiao?â
Shen Ning stood there pale and speechless.
âNing Ning, 1 understand your dilemma. Iâve been keeping this secret for you, but now, we have to decide whatâs more important: the childâs life or your custody rights. If Coco returns to the Li family mansion, heâll be the young master of the Li family. His future will be bright, and it will be good for him. Maybe he wonât belong to you anymore, but youâll always be his biological mother. No one can erase that blood tie,â Li Zhijun spoke with earnestness.
Shen Ning clenched her hands, torn by a fierce internal struggle.
âBut even if 1 go to him now and beg, he might not be willing to save Coco. Heâs extremely unfriendly towards me, and heâll probably think Iâm deceiving him/â Shen Ning said, her eyes filled with deep helplessness and pain.
Had Li Zhentingâs cold heart ever shown any softness towards her or her child?
Li Zhijun continued pacing the room and said, âHereâs what we can do. Iâll go to him first. If I can keep Cocoâs secret safe, Iâll do everything in my power. But if itâs impossible, then we ll have to reveal the truth. If, after knowing the truth, heâs still a jerk, Iâll have to seek help from the Li familyâs old lady and old man. In prominent families like theirs, who wouldnât want more children and grandchildren?â
Shen Ning nodded in silence.
They walked out together.
Li Corporationâs CEO office.
After a long day of meetings, Li Zhenting had just taken his seat when Li Zhijun walked in.
He glanced at him and asked coldly, âWhat are you here for?â @@novelbin@@
âCousin, Iâm in trouble, and I need your help,â Li Zhijun said urgently, a departure from his usual nonchalant demeanor, looking serious..
