Upon a gentle click, the content of the email came into view.

  They were all photos of Tang Yulan.

  In the first photo, Tang Yulan was blue in the face, curling up into a ball.

  The second photo was a close-up shot of Tang Yulan’s face. The old lady gritted her teeth and closed her eyes tightly. It seemed that she was enduring great pain.

  In the third photo, only one arm was shown. There was no wound on it, but it was covered with blood.

  Su Jian’an knew that it was exactly Tang Yulan’s arm.

  She covered her mouth, and her tears poured out in an instant and fell pattering on the wireless keyboard.

  Shen Yuechuan felt that something was wrong. He looked up and saw Su Jian’an’s tears. He hurried over and asked, “What’s wrong? Do you miss Xiyu and Xiangyi? Hey, shall I ask someone to send you back?”


  “.……” Su Jian’an did not reply, and her tears were flowing more and more fiercely.

  Shen Yuechuan was somewhat confused.

  Even if Su Jian’an missed the two little kids, according to her character, she would not cry like this.

  There must be something else!

  Shen Yuechuan walked behind Su Jian’an and saw the content of the email, including the photo of the bloody arm. He could certainly recognize that it was Tang Yulan’s arm.

  Shen Yuechuan’s lips were compressed into a straight line. He clenched his fists, so that the blue veins on the back of his hands bulged, with the blood rushing in his blue veins and the flames of anger surging in his every pore.

  “Bastard!”


  Shen Yuechuan squeezed out the word through his gritted teeth, and he smashed his fist down on the desk, making a “bang” sound.

  Su Jian’an covered her eyes with both hands, and her palms soon got wet by tears.

  No matter if it was fifteen years ago or now, it was the Kang’s family and Kang Ruicheng who should be punished. Kang Ruicheng’s father committed crimes and should have been judged by the law.

  But all of this had nothing to do with Tang Yulan.

  How could Kang Ruicheng vent his anger on an old people in such a cruel way?

  “Jian’an,” Shen Yuechuan said in a sullen voice, “you get up. I have something to do.”


  Su Jian’an did not know what Shen Yuechuan was going to do, but she still stood up, gave her seat to Shen Yuechuan, and then dried her tears.

  At this time, she had more important things to do than to cry.

  Although Shen Yuechuan was angry, he still basically kept calm. As soon as he sat down, he began to trace the address of the email. Sure enough, he found that the gory email was indeed sent from the old house of the Kang’s family in the old city area.

  He had the screenshots and then backed up the email. They would be presented as evidence for them to sue Kang Ruicheng in the future.

  In the end, Shen Yuechuan looked at Su Jian’an. “Do you want to contact Boyan?”


  Su Jian’an covered her forehead and thought for two seconds. Finally, she shook her head and said, “Boyan and Sijue should be busy now. If I contact him at this time, it will only disturb him. When he left in the morning, he said that he would come back in the afternoon. We’d better wait for him to come back.”


  Shen Yuechuan nodded, “It’s up to you.”


  Jian’an put down her hands, quickly managed her own mood, and calmed down, “Yuechuan, let’s get back to work.”


  When Lu Boyan came back and saw this email, he would definitely deal with Tang Yulan’s matter first.

  Su Jian’an could only help him with some simple things to ease his burden.

  Shen Yuechuan turned off the email and said, “Let’s leave these emails to Boyan. We can deal with something else first.”


  Su Jian’an knew that Shen Yuechuan did not want her to see the photos of Tang Yulan’s injury.

  She nodded and sat down to deal with other things.

  At about three o’clock in the afternoon, Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue returned to the company’s building. Lu Boyan looked less cold than he had been when he left in the morning.

  Su Jian’an subconsciously got up and walked up to Lu Boyan, “Is there any progress in Mom’s matter?”


  Lu Boyan held Su Jian’an in his arms with one hand and kissed her on the forehead. “The location has been roughly determined. As long as we continue the investigation, we will soon be able to find Mom.”


  This was the first good news after Tang Yulan was kidnapped.

  Su Jian’an smiled, but before the smile reached the bottom of her eyes, she had remembered the email just now, and her eyes quickly reddened.

  Lu Boyan immediately noticed Su Jian’an’s abnormality and looked at her, asking, “What’s wrong?”


  “.……” Su Jian’an opened her mouth, but her words were stuck in her throat. She could not tell Lu Boyan about the email at all.

  Lu Boyan touched Su Jian’an’s head, and his voice became particularly gentle, “Do you want to go home?”


  “.……” Su Jian’an shook her head, and her tears were about to flow out.

  Lu Boyan frowned in confusion and asked again, “What the hell is going on?”


  At this time, Shen Yuechuan blurted out, “Boyan, come here.”


  Lu Boyan walked over, and Shen Yuechuan motioned for him to look at the computer.

  On the computer screen was the email just sent from Kang Ruicheng, and those photos came into view.

  The photo of the bloody arm directly stung Lu Boyan’s eyes.

  For a moment, anger burned up Lu Boyan’s reason. He was almost eager to shoot Kang Ruicheng to death at all costs, and to let Kang Ruicheng be a thousand times more painful than his mother was now.

  However, it was illegal and no different from Kang Ruicheng’s behavior.

  He had to keep calm.

  Mu Sijue also saw the content of the email. He clenched his fists in an instant and left the office with a sullen face.

  Lu Boyan was afraid that Mu Sijue would impulsively do something, so he gave Shen Yuechuan a look and motioned for him to follow out.

  Shen Yuechuan nodded and kept up with Mu Sijue closely.

  Only Lu Boyan and Su Jian’an were left in the office.

  Just now, Su Jian’an could barely keep herself from shedding tears.

  But now, gazing at Lu Boyan, she suddenly could no longer hold back her tears. Her eyes were already full of tears, and she looked at Lu Boyan at a loss.

  Kang Ruicheng had already begun to hurt Tang Yulan. If Tang Yulan continued staying with Kang Ruicheng, she did not know what torture the old lady would suffer.

  Lu Boyan knew that Su Jian’an was afraid, so he hugged her and said, “Don’t cry. I will bring Mom back.”


  Su Jian’an buried her face in Lu Boyan’s arms and nodded.

  At this time, she chose to believe in Lu Boyan.

  Outside, Shen Yuechuan followed Mu Sijue into the elevator. He had thought that Mu Sijue was going downstairs, but he found that Mu Sijue pressed the button of the roof.

  Lu Boyan’s office was on the top floor, and the roof was just on the upper floor. In less than twenty seconds, the elevator door slowly opened.

  Mu Sijue walked out and hurried to the edge of the rooftop. He held the railing with both hands and looked at the towering buildings in the distance.

  In contrast, Shen Yuechuan was much more leisurely. He walked over unhurriedly and saw Mu Sijue take out a cigarette and a lighter.

  Mu Sijue’s movements of lighting the cigarette were very quick. He took a deep drag on the cigarette, and the smoke slowly came out and soon drifted away in the cold winter air.

  Shen Yuechuan walked over and stood side by side with Mu Sijue, saying to express his dislike, “You’re about to be a father, but you still smoke?”


  Mu Sijue held the strongly flavored cigarette and said lightly, “It doesn’t matter. Xu Youning is not here.”


  After a while, Shen Yuechuan said, “Boyan and Jian’an won’t blame you.”


  “I know,” Mu Sijue took another drag on his cigarette, “that’s why I……”


  Before Mu Sijue could finish his words, Shen Yuechuan had patted him on the shoulder and interrupted, “Don’t think about it. Youning is already pregnant. Auntie Tang won’t allow you to send Xu Youning back, let alone Boyan and Jian’an.”


  Mu Sijue said, “I can’t watch Auntie Tang be tortured.”


  Shen Yuechuan paused for a moment and then realized that Mu Sijue was implying something else by saying so.

  He was about to ask Mu Sijue what he was going to do when he saw Mu Sijue take out his mobile phone and make a call.

  Without asking, Shen Yuechuan could guess that Mu Sijue was going to contact Kang Ruicheng.

  Sure enough, after the call was answered, Mu Sijue called Kang Ruicheng’s name.

  “Kang Ruicheng.”


  Mu Sijue’s voice was cold and gloomy, as if it came from the depths of hell in the late winter.

  Kang Ruicheng seemed to have guessed that Mu Sijue would contact him. Before speaking, he laughed, with his voice full of complacency in controlling everything, “Well, have you finally received my email?”


  Mu Sijue did not mention Kang Ruicheng hurting Tang Yulan. He just said, “How about we make a deal?”


  “Say it,” Kang Ruicheng said, “if it can arouse my interest, I am certainly willing to make a deal with you.”


  “Let Auntie Tang go, and I’ll be the hostage,” Mu Sijue said, “to you, I’m much more of a threat than Auntie Tang. It’s very profitable for you.”


  “Is it?” After a pause, Kang Ruicheng sneered and said, “I don’t think so.”


  “.……” Mu Sijue did not speak, waiting for Kang Ruicheng’s next words.

  “Mu Sijue, you have the ability to escape from me. Once I agree, you will make sufficient preparations before coming here. After I release Old Mrs. Tang, you will escape,” Kang Ruicheng said coldly and sarcastically, “I will not make a profit from this deal, and even I will take great risks. Do you think I will agree?”


  Mu Sijue said slowly to stimulate Kang Ruicheng, “It turns out that you are so afraid of me.”


  “Mu Sijue, it’s useless,” Kang Ruicheng said, “I won’t agree.”


  “When I meet you for Auntie Tang’s return, I can let you search me.” Mu Sijue said, “I won’t take anything with me.”


  “That is to say, you will be at my mercy at that time, won’t you?” Kang Ruicheng tut-tutted and said, “Although what I really want is Youning, it really tempts me.”


  Mu Sijue continued, “Kang Ruicheng, if you have no confidence in yourself, you can try to kill me immediately. In this way, you will have no worries.”


  Shen Yuechuan had planned to be an onlooker, but when he heard Mu Sijue say so, he could not maintain his role. He grabbed Mu Sijue’s mobile phone and shouted, “Mu Sijue, are you crazy?”


  Mu Sijue frowned and said, “Yuechuan, give me back the phone!”


  Shen Yuechuan glanced at the phone, and the call was still going on.

  He could almost imagine Kang Ruicheng smiling on the other side of the phone. In a rage, he decisively hung up the phone.

  He had known Mu Sijue for so long, but he had never seen him bow to anyone.

  Kang Ruicheng was not qualified to let Mu Sijue make an exception!
