Looking at her desperate expression, Mu Jiangfeng felt a sharp pain in his heart.
However, Mu Jiangfeng did not want to give up this opportunity just because of that; he did not want to soften his heart towards Lan Baobao.
If he softened his heart, he would never have the chance to keep Lan Baobao by his side again.
As long as he loosened his grip now, once Lan Baobao disappeared from his side, she would never pay attention to him again.
It was precisely because he knew this that Mu Jiangfeng had to be hard-hearted and had to be a despicable person.
"I want something from you, and you should understand very well. Give me your answer now: do you want to be with me or not?"
"I..."
"Yes or no? Ruo Ruo's life is in your hands. Right now, you only have these two choices."
Mu Jiangfeng was no longer the man she once knew. He was now nothing more than a kidnapper, except what he wanted was not ransom but a lifetime of her time.
Ye Ziru's safety, compared to her lifetime...
Ye Zixun, if it were you, what would you choose? Lan Baobao stared blankly at Mu Jiangfeng's face, her mind completely empty.
Finally, she gritted her teeth.
Damn it, Lan Baobao, what are you thinking? Compared to your own matters, Ye Ziru's safety is certainly more important. No matter what, stabilize Mu Jiangfeng first.
Who knows if this Jiahui might act out of desperation and harm her.
"Okay, I agree! But you must keep your promise and release Ye Ziru."
Upon hearing this, Mu Jiangfeng was overjoyed. She finally agreed to be with him; she no longer rejected him. He finally saw the light after the clouds parted.
"Really, did you agree? Lan Baobao, don't worry, as long as you promise to be with me, I will let Ye Ziru go. I will handle the exit procedures immediately and leave as soon as possible. We will start our lives anew."
"What? You want to go abroad?"
Lan Baobao was stunned.
Once abroad, she would truly fall into Mu Jiangfeng's hands and would probably never escape again.
In a moment of panic, Lan Baobao immediately retorted, "Don't be ridiculous, I won't go abroad with you!"
"Then were you just brushing me off when you agreed earlier?" Mu Jiangfeng's face instantly fell, a dark aura enveloping him.
Lan Baobao thought of her daughter's safety and had to compromise, needing to explain.
"I didn't deceive you, but you only asked me to be with you just now; you didn't ask me to live abroad with you!"
"Lan Baobao, you only have two choices. One is to stay here, and the other is to leave and watch your daughter die." Mu Jiangfeng had heard enough of Lan Baobao's excuses.
His heart was filled with her, yet she didn't even leave him a place in her heart; it was truly too much!
With a fierce determination, Mu Jiangfeng said, "Answer me."
Lan Baobao opened her lips; her lips were already pale from being sick and now looked even more so.
"Lan Baobao, I won't give you much time to think. You must make a decision right now."
Mu Jiangfeng immediately took out his phone and dialed a number.
Lan Baobao had no idea who he was calling; she only heard Mu Jiangfeng calmly say, "Hello, how is that child? Is everything okay now?"
"She is fine and won't die. Right now, it should be about Lan Baobao, where is Lan Baobao? Have you dealt with her yet?"
Mu Jiangfeng was too preoccupied to care about Mu Jiao'er's issues; all he wanted was to force Lan Baobao to submit.
As soon as Lan Baobao heard Mu Jiangfeng's words, she completely lost control.
She rushed in front of Mu Jiangfeng trying to snatch the phone from his hand.
But Mu Jiangfeng was already prepared and would never let Lan Baobao take the phone. If she got hold of it, she might expose herself.
"Lan Baobao, do you think I’m someone so foolish as to let you take my phone? Do you think I would let you easily find out where your child is? What I want is to leave you with no way out; I won’t let you touch the phone." Mu Jiangfeng easily hung up the call.
Lan Baobao stepped back two paces, her lips trembling, her voice shaking.
She desperately shook her head, trying hard to control her tears that were streaming down.
"Mu Jiangfeng, weren’t you my good friend? Why have you become so cruel?"
"Am I the cruel one?" Mu Jiangfeng suddenly found Lan Baobao's question ridiculous.
Wasn't it her who turned him into this kind of man?
"Lan Baobao, for all these years, I have watched over you, protected you, held both you and your child close to my heart. But your heart only belongs to that suddenly appearing Ye Zixun! I don’t understand what makes him better than me. Does he treat you better than I do? Since I can’t have your heart, then I will have your body, keeping you by my side forever. At least then, I will have someone to accompany me and won’t lose completely."
Does Mu Jiangfeng's love for her mean she must respond? Was it her choice to marry Ye Zixun?
If before meeting Ye Zixun, Mu Jiangfeng had proposed to her, perhaps Lan Baobao would have married him.
Now it was too late; her heart already belonged to Ye Zixun, and now Mu Jiangfeng suddenly appeared to disrupt her life.
Is he the pitiful one?
Lan Baobao was unconvinced. Clearly, it was Mu Jiangfeng who had messed up her life. While she hadn't improved in any other skill, she had certainly mastered the art of crying thief while stealing.
Lan Baobao took a deep breath, her feelings of despair spreading within her until they engulfed her body.
"Fine, if you want me to leave with you in order to spare my daughter, I agree to leave. I agree."
Mu Jiangfeng looked at her. He should have been happy, should have felt excited, but at that moment, seeing the despair and disgust in her eyes made it impossible for him to feel joy.
Meanwhile, in the hotel, Mu Jiao'er stared at her phone, stunned for two minutes.
The voice she had just heard was Lan Baobao's. It seemed that Mu Jiangfeng had already confessed to Lan Baobao.
A beautiful smile crept onto her lips as she quickly grabbed her bag and left the hotel in high heels, completely disregarding the child's safety.
On the way home, Mu Jiao'er's mood was excellent. All she needed to do now was call Ye Zixun to clarify the situation on his end and see how to respond.
She rummaged through her bag for her phone and then tossed the bag onto the sofa.
"Hello!" she said as she dialed, walking into the kitchen to grab a drink, cheerfully adding, "Zi Xun, it's me! It's Jiao'er."
"Jiao'er, why are you calling?" Ye Zixun's tone was low and clearly irritated.
The last woman he wanted to hear from called him at his worst moment, only making Ye Zixun dislike her even more.
Mu Jiao'er sneered coldly in her heart.
Having been by Ye Zixun's side for so many years, she had long since mastered his emotional characteristics.
Aside from seeing with her eyes, even through the phone, Mu Jiao'er could easily sense Ye Zixun's emotions.
Listening to his voice, Ye Zixun was already starting to feel anxious. The child had been missing for over ten hours, and as Grandpa Ye's grandson, how could he not be worried?
"Zi Xun, what's wrong? Your tone sounds strange! Are you feeling down? Can you tell me what's going on?"
"Jiao Er, I don't have time to chat with you right now. Why are you calling me? If there's nothing urgent, I'm hanging up."
Ye Zixun felt like an ant on a hot pan, restless and anxious.
Mu Jiao'er persisted, feigning concern as she asked, "Zi Xun, I miss you so much right now, but your tone really worries me. Did something happen? Is there trouble at home?"
He was too tired to keep arguing with Mu Jiao'er and just wanted her to hang up quickly.
"It's not that! Ye Ziru is missing. I've already reported it to the police and am waiting for their response." Ye Zixun's low and angry voice came through the phone, as if he wanted to crush the kidnapper who took his daughter. "Damn it! How dare they target my family? They really don't know how to die."
Report to the police?
Mu Jiao'er's heart skipped a beat, and her mind went blank at that moment.
No matter how much she had calculated, she never expected Ye Zixun would report it so quickly. This wasn't his usual style.
"Um... if you find the kidnapper of your daughter, what will you do to them?"
"Dismember them."
Ye Zixun's response came without hesitation into Mu Jiao'er's ears, nearly causing her phone to slip from her hand.
Her sensuous lips, painted with exquisite lip gloss, trembled upon hearing his answer—dismember them... dismember them...
"What's wrong with you? Why does your breathing sound so strange?" Ye Zixun suddenly asked on the other end of the phone.
Mu Jiao'er abruptly came to her senses. She reminded herself to stay calm; if she remained calm, nothing would go wrong. She had to stay calm, calm.
She couldn't let Ye Zixun find any flaws.
"Um... I'm fine, I just feel scared hearing about what happened to Ye Ziru. There are really all kinds of people these days, even your family isn't safe. It really shocked me! Zi Xun, is there anything I can help with? If you need my help, I can come over to your house. Your matters are my matters, and I will definitely do my best to help you!" Mu Jiao'er spoke sweetly to Ye Zixun.
On the other hand, Ye Zixun had already called the police. Mu Jiao'er needed to get close to Ye Zixun in order to get updates on the police's progress as quickly as possible.
"No need!" Ye Zixun replied coldly. "If the police can't find any clues, there are other people who can help. You don't need to get involved. I believe we will find Ye Ziru's whereabouts."
What? Has Ye Zixun already mobilized others in such a short time?
Now Mu Jiao'er felt extremely frustrated, wondering why she had come up with this plan to drive away Lan Baobao. If she hadn't thought of this damned plan with Mu Jiangfeng, things wouldn't have turned out like this.
"Zi Xun, who else are you having look for your daughter? Is that person reliable?"
"The person I've hired is Gu Feng!"
It's actually Gu Feng!
This time, Mu Jiao'er's face turned pale. Gu Feng... Gu Feng... the one who has connections in both the underworld and legitimate society, and now even the underworld's Gu Feng has been notified. Everything... everything is happening too quickly...
