Chapter 1465 - Ning Yuya Is Missing? (2/2)

As if possessed by a demon, she repeatedly pressed the redial button.

After failing to connect for the umpteenth time, Ning Shuqian really descended into a panic now. Yuya was her only daughter and she had doted on her from a young age. Although Ning Shuqian was disappointed in Yuya for getting into drugs and not living to her full potential, she was still her child whom she had carried for 10 months and gave birth to.

As weird or delinquent as she was, she was still her own flesh and blood!

Ning Shuqian was in a frenzy as waves of regret washed over her. If she had not been spending all this time taking care of Xia Ruya because of her car accident, leaving her no time to care about Yuya, her daughter would not have been captured.

Her mobile phone rang again.

Ning Shuqian clutched at her phone and saw a message sent by that unfamiliar number. She hurriedly opened it. “Your daughter is in our hands. If you want her to remain safe and sound, prepare 10 million in cash. If you dare to call the police, you will never see your daughter again.”

Ning Shuqian was utterly stunned!

This was a… kid… kidnap!

Yuya had been kidnapped?

Ning Shuqian tried dialing that number again but still failed to connect. She had no choice but to reply with a message. “Who are you? Why have you kidnapped my daughter? Don’t hurt my daughter. 10 million is too much, I cannot fork out this amount. Can you reduce the amount by a bit…”

Ning Shuqian gritted her teeth as she clicked the Send button.

10 million in cash was no small sum to Ning Shuqian. She had accumulated a sizable nest egg after being with Wen Haowen all these years, but they had asked for such an exorbitant amount, immediately demanding for 10 million right from the start. This was more than half of her savings, and she would not give it up that easily even though she could afford it.

But after that message was sent, it was like a stone sinking into the deep sea without a trace.

Ning Shuqian’s heart sank with it and her panic rose to peak levels. Unable to bear her anxiety any longer, she couldn’t help sending another message. “As long as you don’t hurt my daughter, we can always negotiate…”

She collapsed on the sofa, feeling an icy chill all over. Since Yuya got addicted to drugs, she liked to hang out at those disreputable bars and clubs. Ning Shuqian had previously exhorted her not to frequent those places as there were all sorts of shady characters there and accidents could easily happen. But Yuya had completely disregarded her advice.

Thereafter, she gave up nagging as she really had no way to control Yuya.

Who knew this would happen.

She thought about seeking Wen Haowen for help, but in the end, didn’t dare to. Wen Haowen hated Yuya. She would be doomed if he called the police.

Ning Shuqian thought about Xia Ruya’s car accident. Somehow, she instinctively felt that there were many things amiss about that incident. And it didn’t feel like Yuya’s kidnapping happened by pure chance.

Was this a move by Wen Xinya for revenge?

Thinking of that, Ning Shuqian shivered non-stop. For reasons unknown, she couldn’t help feeling this matter was connected to Wen Xinya.

If Wen Xinya was really behind this, then Yuya’s kidnapping would not be such a straightforward affair—Wen Xinya was not the type to make use of ploys such as kidnapping.

So what in the world was Wen Xinya intending to do?

Ning Shuqian was filled with fear and unease. Whenever she thought of what happened to Xia Ruya, she would feel like a huge, formless hand was squeezing her heart, making her feel a suffocating pain.
