Chapter 311 Kidnapping (1)

Shen Xiuqi spoke with Su Yaya for a while, calming her down, Su Yaya always felt lethargic after she got pregnant, and soon fell asleep.

Shen Xiuqi gently pinched her cheeks, and said softly: “If you want to sleep, head upstairs to sleep.”

Su Yaya stretched out her soft hand and said, “Carry me.”

Shen Xiuqi smiled lovingly and said, “Okay, I’ll carry you.”

He took her upstairs and helped her take off her coat, put on her pajamas, and laid on the bed with her until she fell asleep, only then he left the room and went to his study to work.

Now Shen Xiuqi tried his best to work from home, staying by Su Yaya’s side, unless something important came up, he wouldn’t head to the office. Only when Su Yaya was in front of him, he could feel at ease.

Halfway through his work, Shen Xiuqi went to take a look at Su Yaya and saw her playing with her phone on the bed.

“Weren’t you tired? Why are you playing with your phone?” Shen Xiuqi asked.

Su Yaya didn’t look up at him, her gaze still fixated on the game, as she said, “I’m awake now, so I decided to game for a while.”

Shen Xiuqi saw that she was indeed playing games, so he didn’t say anything further, and asked her, “Would you like to get up?”

Su Yaya shook her head and said, “I want to lie down for a while. When I’m done with my game, I’ll get up when I want to.”

Shen Xiuqi didn’t force her and let her be. He still had work to do, so he went to his study to continue on with his work.

Later, Shen Xiuqi answered a phone call. The person in charge of one of the collaborative projects suddenly visited and asked to meet him. He needed to head to his company.

Shen Xiuqi went to the room and asked Su Yaya, “Do you want to go to the office with me? I have to meet one of the representatives of a project.”

Su Yaya was still playing games, and the match was at its most critical moment, she said: “I’m too lazy to move now, you can go by yourself. Anyway, it’s time to make dinner in a while. I’ll cook at home and wait for you to come back for dinner.”

Shen Xiuqi smiled when he heard her say this, he leaned forward and kissed her on the forehead, and said softly: “Don’t overwork yourself, I’ll be back when I’m done.”

Su Yaya nodded obediently, waved at him and said, “Hurry along.”

Shen Xiuqi caressed the top of her head, and left after a few more words.

Shen Xiuqi drove to his company and met with the representative. The two had a very happy conversation, and everything was settled in less than two hours.

After everything was settled, the representative had other things to handle and left the company. Shen Xiuqi was about to drive home. However, on the way back, he suddenly received a call from an unknown number.

An Yutong’s frightened voice sounded, “Xiu Qi, save me, Xiu Qi, save me, save me......”

On the phone, An Yutong’s voice was immediately cut off, and then a weird voice could be heard, it was modified with a voice changer and it was hard to know whether the person was a man or a woman, the person said: “Mr. Shen Xiuqi, do you want to save An Yutong? If you want to save her, bring along a ransom of 100 million!”

Shen Xiuqi immediately realized that An Yutong had been kidnapped.

He said solemnly: “Who are you?”

The other party snickered and said: “You don’t have to know who I am. You only need to follow my instructions and bring a ransom of 100 million to save your An Yutong. If you’re late, then bear the consequences!”

After the person finished, the call ended. Shen Xiuqi dialed the phone number again, but he couldn’t get through. Less than a minute later, he received an unknown text message instructing him to bring the money to the designated place. If he reports this to the police, they’ll kill her.
