The good news was that Wan Sui had only fainted and was not seriously hurt.
The bad news was that there was no trace of Su Miaomiao to be found anywhere nearby.
Clearly, the kidnapper's intended target had always been, from beginning to end, Su Miaomiao alone.
By the time he returned to Niu City, the sky had already darkened completely; it was the second day since Su Miaomiao had vanished.
Xie Yuan's heart had begun to grow frantic.
Following police advice, he headed back to the manor first.
The police felt that if the kidnapper was after money, a ransom call should come through around this time.
Soon, the phone rang, and Xie Yuan quickly answered it.
"Hello..."
On the other end of the line was Xu Lanxin.
"Ayuan."
Xie Yuan frowned coldly, ready to hang up the phone.
"Wait, Ayuan, don't rush to hang up; there's something your mother needs to say."
"Your uncle came two days ago and took Jason away."
"He wanted me to lure you to Switzerland, but I, I refused."
