Chapter 371: 371, A bone-chilling cold, Qinghuan is suspicious.
Song Qiliang pushed her aside: “Do you think I want this? But we two can’t handle it alone. Keeping Song Qinghuan hidden here, what if we get caught? You think we’ll get away with it? I tell you, we’ll end up in jail. But it’s different with someone helping; no one will find her. This person is very reliable, I’ve agreed – when the time comes, we’ll give him two million.”
“What did you just say? Give him two million?” Lu Meiyan was shocked, her heart pounding rapidly.
“We’ve gone through a whole lot of trouble to kidnap her. Of course, we would want to make some money. We are demanding six million from Shi Yuhuan; two million for him, four million for us. We can pay off the high-interest debt, leaving us with two million. That will be enough for a down payment on a school district house and get Xiaotao into a good school.”
Saying this, he pushed Lu Meiyan aside and along with a man in sunglasses and a mask, the mysterious ‘Four Fingers,’ they carried Song Ci into Song Xiaotao’s room, and placed him on the bed.
She suddenly had a bad feeling, regretting her decision to agree to kidnap Song Qinghuan with Song Qiliang and demand money from Shi Yuhuan.
But when she remembered the ruthless text message from Song Qinghuan, the two-million high-interest debt, and thought of her own son Song Xiaotao, she steeled her resolve.
She wouldn’t harm Song Qinghuan. Once the money was secured, she would let Song Qinghuan go and apologize to her.
Song Qinghuan still didn’t know her true background. In her heart, Lu Meiyan is her stepmother. So, even if she were angry or bitter, she would never report her.
“Mom, mom, mom…”
Song Qinghuan called out numerous times, her volume tenfold louder than the first, jolting Lu Meiyan, who woke from her daze trembling and promptly returned to reality.
She jumped up: “What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”
Song Qinghuan furrowed her brows: “I am asking where Song Ci went to get the medicine? And was he alone when he left?”
Where did her brother go? Song Ci had said he was at the Song family’s place. So where could he be? Lu Meiyan had no idea. Therefore, he must have left the Song family.
So where could he be?
Her gaze instinctively swept over Song Ci’s bedroom and Song Xiaotao’s room, pondering if Yan Pingdan might be in either one.
Seeing Song Qinghuan’s gaze darting around, Lu Meiyan gets up nervously: “No, he went out alone. Qinghuan, you should drink some water first. After you finish, Mom has something to tell you.”
Song Qinghuan looked at her with a puzzled expression but obediently picked up the water cup.
After all, in her heart, this woman was her mother. She didn’t want to be so harsh. 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
As she reached for the water cup, she noticed a small medicine bottle under the glass coffee table.
“Trichloromethane,” her English was not so good, but she recognized these words.
Trichloromethane, chloroform, a sedative drug.
Why would there be a sedative drug in their home? Song Qinghuan’s heart, initially agitated about her missing brother, suddenly turned cold.
She felt a shiver going down her spine.
Her trembling hand instinctively gathered her thin cardigan closer to her body, and she put a hand to her forehead, looking down. Her heart was gripped in fear!!
Everything felt too bizarre. How could her brother, who had been missing for so long, suddenly appear at Song Ci’s place? Moreover, why would he go to Song Ci first and then come to find her?
Even though she had changed her place of residence, she had not changed her phone number. There was no reason why her brother, if he wanted to reach her, wouldn’t call her first but would instead rush straight to the Song family’s place?
