Ye Que's announcement sent shockwaves throughout Ningdu City.
But no one came forward to demand money from him, which worried Ye Que. He feared that Chi Zaozao had already met her demise, worried that those people were not after his wealth, but after Chi Zaozao.
If they sexually assaulted her, killed her, and threw her body somewhere, how would he even begin to search?
All day, he sat at home, staring at a cell phone, so desperate for someone to call and propose a deal.
But as time ticked by, neither the cell phone rang, nor did anyone approach the door, driving him almost mad with anxiety. He clenched his fists so tightly that his fingertips cracked audibly.
He had dispatched everyone he could to collaborate with the police in investigating this criminal kidnapping case.
Another half day passed with no news, and Ye Que felt that the chances of Chi Zaozao's survival were diminishing.
