Chapter 2756: Chapter 897: Zhou Family

The other side.

The study in Maple Villa.

Several important figures were gathered in the study.

Gu Qichen and his wife, Mu Liancheng and his wife, Chen Shui, and Ah Yan.

Chen Shui had just rushed back from the United States.

This time, he also heard that both children were in trouble.

Chen Shui once controlled over half of Nan City’s underground influence.

However, he had washed his hands clean a decade ago.

Now, he has many businesses in hand, but most of them are legitimate and properly operating.

Fortunately, he knows almost everyone in both the underworld and the legal world, and still holds some influence.

Ah Shui said, "If this Cao Changhu was on the mainland, no matter what, I could fight with him, but now he’s in Taiwan, that’s his stronghold. Even if we go there, we’re still under his influence. The two billion have already been given to him, yet he shows no sign of releasing them. Now he’s saying he wants ten billion. It’s obvious he’s using the kids as pawns. It’s a bottomless pit. Even if we give him the money, it won’t work. He’ll demand twenty billion, fifty billion. The Zhu Lian Gang has been dishonorable for a long time. Unfortunately, we have no bargaining chips."

Xia Yangyang was already burning with anxiety.

Xia Yangyang said, "Give him whatever he wants. I can’t let my children get hurt, even if I lose everything, even if it costs me everything."

Upon hearing they were in trouble, they immediately flew back from their vacation.

These days, from the initial calm optimism to now being at their wits’ end.

Xia Yangyang’s mindset had already collapsed.

This kind of thing had happened before.

When Xia Ye and Lu Yinxing were very young, there was a kidnapping incident.

From that time on, Xia Ye’s personality changed a lot.

When Xia Ye was very young, he wasn’t so aloof.

Xia Yangyang still remembered when Xia Ye came back, bruised all over, with a ruptured spleen, nearly losing his life.

So, Xia Yangyang already had a psychological shadow.

Especially when she heard that Cao Changhu was ruthless and did all evil.

The two children had already been out of contact for almost a week.

Now they had no idea of their situation.

Under this mental pressure, Xia Yangyang was close to breaking down.

Beside her, Gu Qichen held Xia Yangyang, confidently saying, "I will bring them back, safely. Trust me."

Xia Yangyang cried.

In recent days, Gu Qichen had hardly closed his eyes any night.

The amount of white hair had increased significantly.

His love was profoundly deep.

Xia Yangyang could still cry and vent.

But Gu Qichen couldn’t.

The burden on his shoulders was like a mountain.

He couldn’t relax for even a moment.

When they asked for two billion, he immediately mobilized funds.

His first reaction was also the children’s safety.

It’s imaginable that his inner torment was no less than hers.

Thinking of this, Xia Yangyang only felt she was too fragile.

This was not the time to cry; instead, they should bear the burden together and find a solution.

Wen Xiaochu also came over: "Yangyang, things aren’t as bad as that. At least the two children should be safe now. Otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to make such outrageous demands. Let’s take it slow and figure something out. There must be a way to bring them back safely."

Xia Yangyang nodded.

Chen Shui said, "Actually, there is a way."

Xia Yangyang quickly asked, "What other way do you have? Tell us quickly."

Chen Shui opened his mouth: "Do you know the Zhou Family in North City?"

Gu Qichen furrowed his brow.
