n80 A Phone Call From Yan City; Qiu Ziqian Is Sobbing

nThe next day.

nOn the white bed, there was a touch of red.

nAs usual, Qiu Ziqian got up early and prepared a sumptuous breakfast.

nJust days ago, Huang Ling would wake up very early each time.

nHowever, she often waited for Lin Fan to leave before coming out.

nToday, Huang Ling came to the living room with Lin Fan.

nLin Fan placed an egg into Huang Ling’s bowl and said, “You worked hard yesterday, so you should nourish yourself.”

nHuang Ling seemed to have thought of something, and her face blushed.

nThen, she almost buried her entire head into her bowl.

nSeeing this, Qiu Ziqian could not help but laugh.

nAfter Lin Fan finished the entire bowl of noodles, he let out a burp.

nHe picked up his phone and started fiddling with it.

nImmediately after, Huang Ling’s phone rang with a crisp sound.

nWeChat transfer, one million yuan.

nHuang Ling’s heart thumped wildly, and she was stunned.

nShe had personally seen Lin Fan transfer a million dollars to Qiu Ziqian.

nWhen she decided to become Lin Fan’s woman, she thought of receiving similar treatment.

nHowever, now that she had actually obtained the money, she could not help but be extremely surprised.

nLin Fan smiled. “If you don’t have enough, you can ask me for more.”

n“It’s enough…” Huang Ling quickly replied. “It’s enough…”

nAt that moment, Qiu ziqian’s phone suddenly rang.

nShe glanced at the caller ID and picked up the call.

n“Mom, you’re calling so early? Have you had breakfast?” Qiu Ziqian asked.

nOn the phone, Wang Hui did not answer Qiu Ziqian’s question. Instead, she asked directly, “Ziqian, do you have two million?”

n“Mom, what do you need so much money for?” Qiu Ziqian asked, frowning.

n“Your father has been captured, and one of his legs has been broken. If we don’t pay the ransom, all his limbs will be broken.” Wang Hui’s voice gradually became hoarse as she spoke, and she could not help but sob.

n“What? How did this happen?” Qiu Ziqian’s heart ached, and she sniffled. “Mom, I’ll go back right away.”

nChildren were the flesh and blood of their parents.

nWere parents also not the people that their children cared about the most?

nAs Lin Fan was sitting beside her, he easily heard the entire conversation between the two.

nHe held Qiu Ziqian’s slender waist and said, “I’ll go home with you.”

nQiu Ziqian nodded hesitantly.

nShe did not want to trouble Lin Fan.

nHowever, Lin Fan was probably the only one who could solve her problem for her.

nHuang Ling, who was sitting opposite him, did not hear what had happened clearly.

nHowever, when she saw Qiu Ziqian’s sad face, she knew that something big had happened.

n“Lin Fan will definitely be able to help you solve it. Don’t be sad…

n“Do you need me to go with you?” she asked after a pause.

n“I drove a Lamborghini here yesterday. It can’t fit three people. You can rest at home today,” Lin Fan said.

n“Alright,” Huang Ling said.

nIn fact, Huang Ling did not really want to follow them.

nShe did not know how to face Qiu Ziqian’s parents.

nAfter Lin Fan and Qiu Ziqian got into the car, Lin Fan stepped on the gas and sped forward.

nQiu Ziqian’s hometown was located in Yan City of Jiang Province, about 300 kilometers north of Li River.

nTwo and a half hours later, a dilapidated old street gradually appeared in their field of vision.

nQiu Ziqian’s house was right there.

nIn a single-story house that was more than ten years old, a woman who looked somewhat similar to Qiu Ziqian but had gone through a lot was standing at the door and looking outside.

nWhen she saw Qiu Ziqian come out of a cool supercar, her wrinkled old face showed a touch of excitement.

n“Ziqian, you’re finally back!” Wang Hui shouted.

nThen, she looked at Lin Fan and asked with uncertainty, “Is he your boyfriend?”

nQiu Ziqian was about to explain when Lin Fan answered, “Yes, Aunt. I’m Ziqian’s boyfriend, Lin Fan.”

nQiu Ziqian’s heart warmed when she heard that.

nWang Hui’s cloudy eyes lit up.

n“Young man, how long have you known Ziqian?” she asked.

n“Mom, this isn’t the time to ask questions,” Qiu Ziqian said with a frown. “Tell me quickly, why is Dad being detained? Why… is his leg broken?”

nWang Hui’s eyes turned red as she spoke.

n“I don’t know what happened to your father yesterday. He went to an antique shop and accidentally broke an antique…

n“The other party wanted him to pay, but he couldn’t afford it. Then, they broke his leg…

n“After that, someone called and said that if he didn’t pay the money, they would… They would break his limbs…

n“What’s he going to do in the future without his limbs?

n“Ziqian, Lin Fan, you guys have to save him!”

nAs Wang Hui spoke, her turbid tears kept flowing out as if a tap had been turned on.

n“Aunt, don’t worry. We’ll go and save Uncle now,” Lin Fan comforted her. “Besides, medical technology is so advanced now. Uncle’s leg can definitely be cured.”

nAfter consoling her for a while, Lin Fan and Qiu Ziqian got back into the Lamborghini and headed to the place Wang Hui had told them about.

nAt the same time, in Breeze Pavilion Antique Shop.

nA bald man with golden teeth was sitting with his legs crossed, munching on melon seeds and humming a tune leisurely.

nBoom!

nAt this time, a roar suddenly came from the distance.

nThen, the cool-looking Lamborghini stopped in front of the shop.

nWhen the bald man saw this, his squinted eyes lit up slightly, and he quickly got up to greet them.

n“Welcome to Breeze Pavilion. We have things from all dynasties… Do you need me to introduce some items to you?”

n“You’re detaining someone here, right?” Lin Fan said coldly.

n“Oh? You’re here to redeem someone?” The enthusiasm on the bald man’s face immediately faded.

nThen, he sat back on the chair and crossed his legs.

n“Who is he to you guys?” the bald man said unhurriedly as he cracked a melon seed.

n“He’s my dad!” Qiu Ziqian said.

n“Alright!” the bald man said. “When your dad saw the blue-and-white porcelain vase from the Song dynasty in our shop yesterday, he threw it to the ground!

n“You have to compensate for the damage! Your dad doesn’t have money, so we had no choice but to detain him!

n“If you want to take your dad away, it’s easy. Two million! Hand over the money and we’ll hand you the person.”

n“You’re extorting me!” Qiu Ziqian shouted.

n“Extortion? Ha! Little girl, don’t talk nonsense!” the bald man said.

n“Aren’t you afraid that we’ll call the police and have them arrest you?” Qiu Ziqian yelled.

n“Hurry up and call them! When the time comes, will they be arresting you or me?” The bald man sneered.

n“You…”

nQiu Ziqian wanted to say something, but Lin Fan said, “Two million, right? We’ll pay!”

nAfter saying that, Lin Fan took out a bank card.

n“You’re the most sensible one.” The bald man laughed.

nHe grinned, revealing his shiny golden teeth. He took the bank card and swiped it on the POS system.
