"Still haven't found Shaokang? A bunch of useless fools, what do I pay you for?"
It's been three days, and Xu Shaokang has practically disappeared, with no news at all.
Under normal circumstances, Yao Huia wouldn't be so anxious. Xu Shaokang often spent ten days to half a month away from home, but ever since she got that call from Gu Bichen, she has had an extremely ominous feeling.
Just as she was hesitating about whether to call Gu Bichen, a text came from an unfamiliar number.
The text contained only an address, instructing her to come alone, or face the consequences.
Those four words about facing the consequences terrified Yao Huia.
She returned to her room, opened the safe, and packed all the gold bars, cash, and jewelry into a handbag. Her hands were shaking as she did this.
Although the other party hadn't mentioned money, what if? Nothing was more important than her son's life.
