Chapter 260: There’s Such an Oddity
Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng went to a private hospital that day. As long as one had connections, the doctor would tell one the child’s gender.
When the doctor was doing the ultrasound, Fang Yusheng followed them in and watched from the side.
“Yeah, your baby is moving.” The doctor looked at the fetus on the screen, whose calves were moving. He said to Fang Yusheng, “Mr. Fang, come and see.”
Fang Yusheng stared at the screen and saw the two fetuses in Qiao Jiusheng’s stomach.
One was quieter, motionless. The other was lively and active, its calves shaking. The child didn’t move much, but they could see its movements.
Fang Yusheng’s heart melted.
So… cute!
So small!
After the ultrasound was finished, the doctor said, “Remember to come for a four-dimensional scan the next time. It’s a scan to check any abnormalities.”
Fang Yusheng immediately became serious when he heard the word abnormalities. “Okay.” With Qiao Jiuyin’s example, Fang Yusheng was very concerned about abnormalities.
The doctor added, “It’s two boys. Congratulations!”
Qiao Jiusheng held the report and was a little disappointed. “I was still thinking that it might be Phoenix twins.”
Fang Yusheng touched her hair. He thought of something and smiled in anticipation. “Then let’s have another baby!”
Qiao Jiusheng glanced at Fang Yusheng’s stomach and said, “Ask Zhuang Long if there’s any way to make a man pregnant.”
Fang Yusheng was shocked. He immediately changed his words and sincerely said, “No, I think it’s good to have two children at once. You have to be satisfied.”
Qiao Jiusheng only looked at him with a faint smile.
After the ultrasound, Qiao Jiusheng rubbed her deflated stomach and weakly said, “Let’s go! Let’s go and eat breakfast!”
“Okay.”
This private hospital was rather far from the city. The chauffeur drove for more than half an hour before finding an early restaurant. The three of them went upstairs to eat breakfast together. After ordering breakfast, Fang Yusheng touched his ring with his finger. Finally, he took off the ring and said to Qiao Jiusheng, “Help me take it. I’ll go wash my hands.”
“Okay.”
Qiao Jiusheng put the ring in her bag and watched Fang Yusheng go to the washroom.
After a while, breakfast was ready.
Qiao Jiusheng saw that Fang Yusheng was not out yet, so she told the waiter, “Bring the other breakfast later.”
“Okay.”
She ordered a serving of fried egg tarts, two pineapple buns, celery, and white dumplings. Qiao Jiusheng was about to finish the dumplings, but she did not see Fang Yusheng come out. Finally realizing something was wrong, she said to the chauffeur, “Brother Wang, please go to the washroom to rush Yusheng.”
“Okay.”
The chauffeur put down his chopsticks and strode toward the washroom.
A while later, he returned.
Stunned, he said to Qiao Jiusheng, “Mr. Fang is not in the washroom!”
Qiao Jiusheng was shocked; the dumplings in her hand fell on the table.
She tried her best to stay calm and put down her chopsticks. Ignoring the differences between men and women, she went straight into the male washroom. She stood by the sink and shouted Fang Yusheng’s name. No reply came from inside. Under Qiao Jiusheng’s instructions, the chauffeur knocked on every bathroom door. Other people’s voices came from the bathroom. The cabinets that were empty were empty.
Qiao Jiusheng felt a chill run down her spine.
Even though Fang Yusheng had already reminded her that something might happen during this period, she did not expect it to happen so quickly.
Fang Yusheng had gone missing!
Has he been abducted?
Qiao Jiusheng subconsciously wanted to take out her phone to see Fang Yusheng’s location. However, when she opened her bag, she saw the black ring in it. Her expression froze.
Fang Yusheng wasn’t wearing the ring…
Qiao Jiusheng panicked when she realized she had no way to know Fang Yusheng’s position.
Her face darkened, and she said to the chauffeur immediately, “Brother Wang, call the police!”
“Madam, it hasn’t even been 24 hours!”
“Twenty-four hours?” She snorted. “Do you want to collect his corpse?”
Fang Yusheng knew that there would be danger and had told her in advance. However, he had not told her the details. Qiao Jiusheng guessed that Fang Yusheng wanted her to see the situation and deal with it herself. At this time, she could not appear too safe or too lost.
She tried to look worried as she walked into the police station.
“I want to report something.”
Qiao Jiusheng stood in the police station and said to the policeman on duty.
The police officer looked up. Her pretty face was charming, and her peach blossom-shaped eyes were exceptionally long and charming. Upon seeing Qiao Jiusheng, Jiaren Wu revealed a shocked expression. “It’s you?”
Qiao Jiusheng was also a little surprised. “Miss Wu, when did you transfer here?”
Jiaren Wu had been transferred to the headquarters and officially promoted to a police officer. This had happened a month ago.
It was not the time to chat. When Jiaren Wu saw that it was Qiao Jiusheng, she knew that things might be serious. After all, in their first meeting, this person’s husband was being hunted down. Jiaren Wu quickly asked Qiao Jiusheng, “What happened?”
Qiao Jiusheng stabilized her mind and told Jiaren Wu all the details of what happened this morning.
“Are you sure that Mr. Fang was really kidnapped?”
Qiao Jiusheng nodded and said, “A person who said that he was going to wash his hands actually disappeared from the washroom. Isn’t he missing?”
Jiaren Wu pondered for a moment before asking, “Which restaurant was it at when the incident happened?”
Qiao Jiusheng told her the name of the restaurant.
Jiaren Wu immediately went to the dining room and requested to check the surveillance cameras.
She looked at the surveillance cameras and only saw Fang Yusheng enter the bathroom. She did not see him leave. Jiaren Wu’s heart sank. She returned to the police station immediately and set up the case.
The news of Fang Yusheng’s disappearance spread very quickly.
There was no trace of his disappearance. The police believed that the person who kidnapped Fang Yusheng was not an ordinary person. The person responsible for this was likely a habitual criminal experienced in such handling matters. It was even possible that he was a professional killer. The General Administration immediately established a task force to investigate and search Fang Yusheng’s missing case.
Qiao Jiusheng reported the case and returned to the house. Her phone remained connected at all times, and she did not miss a single call.
For three consecutive days, there was no news of Fang Yusheng.
The police could not find his whereabouts either. The person who took Fang Yusheng away was too clean. The restaurant was on the second floor. No one knew how he took Fang Yusheng away.
The kidnapper had taken away Fang Yusheng but did not do anything.
Someone guessed that Fang Yusheng might have been killed.
The other party’s motive for kidnapping Fang Yusheng was not money but human life.
Qiao Jiusheng was not too worried about Fang Yusheng’s disappearance. After all, Fang Yusheng had warned her beforehand. However, when she could not find him for three days. Qiao Jiusheng finally panicked.
Fang Yusheng was also a person. He could not do everything perfectly. Even if his plans were perfect, everything would undeniably have a flaw. That flaw could result in unbearable consequences. Could it be that something went wrong, and Fang Mu’s men really captured Fang Yusheng? Did his plans fail?
The more she thought about it, the more confused Qiao Jiusheng became.
Coincidentally, after returning from the police station that day, Qiao Jiusheng had not seen Qi Bufan again. According to Aunt Jin, Fang Yusheng had sent Qi Bufan to do something.
Qiao Jiusheng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, losing her appetite.
For the past few days, police officers had been staying in the Fang family home, hoping that the other party would call to negotiate terms. Finally, at around two pm on the third day, the Fang family received a call.
The person who answered the call was Xu Pingfei.
The other party said only one sentence to Xu Pingfei, “If you want Fang Yusheng to live, ask Fang Pingjue to take out 300 million!”
Xu Pingfei was stunned. They want money?
When she was in a daze, Qiao Jiusheng snatched the phone away. Seeing that the police had started to track the caller’s coordinates, Qiao Jiusheng calmly asked the person on the other end of the phone, “Who are you?”
That person snorted. “You can ask Fang Pingjue who I am.”
Fang Pingjue, who was sitting in a wheelchair, became dumbfounded on hearing this.
The one who kidnapped Fang Yusheng is my enemy?
Fang Pingjue had made too many enemies in his life. Now, he had to recognize his enemy from the voice; for a while, he really could not remember such a person.
Seeing Fang Pingjue’s reaction, Qiao Jiusheng knew that he did not know the other party’s identity. She honestly told the person on the phone, “Father doesn’t know who you are.”
The person on the other end: “…”
This feeling of hating someone for the rest of your life but them not remembering who you were was terrible.
“Ask your father! Twenty-eight years ago, he got someone to cripple a male celebrity called Quan Zhen for a woman named Mu Chen. Does he still remember this?”
Qiao Jiusheng turned on the speaker. When Fang Pingjue heard this, he thought about it and remembered that there seemed to be such a person.
Twenty-eight years ago, Mu Chen had just gotten pregnant with Fang Mu. At that time, Fang Pingjue was very close to her. A male celebrity called Quan Zhen, who was very bold, had actually touched Mu Chen, wanting to humiliate her. When Fang Pingjue knew about this, he got someone to cripple Quan Zhen and even banned him from the industry.
When Qiao Jiusheng saw Fang Pingjue’s expression, she understood that there was indeed such a person.
She angrily said to the person on the phone, “It was Mu Chen and Fang Pingjue who offended you. If you want to kidnap someone, you have to kidnap Fang Pingjue and Fang Mu!”
Upon hearing this, Fang Pingjue looked at Qiao Jiusheng with an indescribable expression.
Qiao Jiusheng was anxious but did not care.
The person was silent for a while before saying, “Who doesn’t know that Fang Yusheng is the one with the most shares in the Fang Corporation? Taking him hostage is more useful than taking Fang Mu hostage.”
Qiao Jiusheng was speechless.
As expected of a kidnapper, he knew how to pick the fat sheep.
However, is he capable of kidnapping Fang Yusheng with such a disability?
Qiao Jiusheng was puzzled.
Fang Pingjue suddenly said, “I want to see my son first. If I can’t see him, I won’t pay you.”
The caller suddenly fell silent. After a while, he scolded him. “Fang Pingjue, you’re really vicious. Could it be that your son’s life can’t be compared to 300 million yuan? Are you even human…” After cursing non-stop, the caller hung up.
At this moment, the policeman said, “We’ve found the location. He’s in Guiyang District.”
The police rushed to Guiyang District and knocked on the closed door.
“Who is it?” an impatient voice asked from inside.
Jiaren Wu whispered to the male policeman beside her, “Just say it’s a delivery.”
The male policeman said, “Was it Mr. Quan who ordered the package?”
“Coming.”
After a while, the door opened, revealing the face of a slightly skinny and dispirited man. The man walked with a slight limp, and his face was covered in stubble. When this man saw the large group of police officers outside the door, he was dumbfounded.
A policeman quickly grabbed Quan Zhen, and Jiaren Wu rushed into the room with the others to search the messy house.
In the end, she did not see Fang Yusheng.
“Where is he!” The policeman punched Quan Zhen in the abdomen and sternly asked, “Where did you hide Fang Yusheng?”
Quan Zhen’s face turned pale.
He suddenly shouted in panic, “I was wrong! I was wrong! I didn’t kidnap Fang Yusheng. I heard that Fang Yusheng was kidnapped and his whereabouts are still unknown. Someone guessed that he might have been killed by his enemy. I… I thought that I could take the opportunity to earn a fortune, so I… I…” Under the policeman’s absurd and angry gaze, Quan Zhen could not say anything.
When the other police officers heard Quan Zhen’s words, they got so angry that they did not know whether they should curse or laugh.
There is actually someone like this!
Jiaren Wu called the Fang family immediately and told them about the situation.
When Qiao Jiusheng heard this news, she was speechless.
Xu Pingfei could not help but glare at Fang Pingjue, making him feel guilty. “Look at what you’ve done! You caused trouble for your children!”
Fang Pingjue did not dare to speak.
Soon, Fang Mu learned about this little episode.
He only smiled when he heard that.
Then, his phone rang. Fang Mu picked up the phone and heard a cold man’s voice coming from the other end. “F?” The other party’s voice was as cold as metal. The flat surface did not fluctuate, like a robot.
Fang Mu tensed up and asked, “Black?”
“It’s me.” The other party spoke Chinese very well. Fang Mu could not help but guess that the other party might be Chinese.
“F, according to your request, I have successfully taken away Fang Yusheng. Should I kill him or cripple him?” The other party was direct and went straight to the point. This was the style of a killer.
Fang Mu narrowed his eyes and said, “Kill him.”
“Ok.” The person thought of something and said, “I need to connect to the video with you. I have to kill him in front of you to consider the deal successful.”
Fang Mu’s blood started to boil.
“Okay!”
After ending the call, Fang Mu opened his laptop and made a video call to Black.
