The CEO had mentioned that they would raise the ransom to ten million dollars. Although Qi Shaodong knew that Gu Nianshen did not mean it, he did not dare to make a decision on his own without clear instructions from his boss.
Seeing how troubled Qi Shaodong was, Lin Yiqian knew this was her opportunity. "Where is the child? Why don't I go and look after him?"
Lin Yiqian was speaking calmly so that Qi Shaodong would not have suspected that anything was amiss.
"He's at the playground on the third floor."
Qi Shaodong did not think that anything was out of place. However, he did feel somewhat embarrassed that Lin Yiqian was being affected. "Would it be too troublesome for you, Mrs. Gu?"
"Not at all. I'm not busy today anyway." Lin Yiqian shook her head gently.
As she spoke, she smiled at Qi Shaodong.
"Alright then. I'll return to my work. There are a few urgent things on my plate," Qi Shaodong replied.
"Go ahead." Lin Yiqian nodded.
