Hearing Enoch’s voice all of a sudden, Xia Ning felt as if the entire world had quieted down. Her restless heart also calmed down.
“Enoch…” Xia Ning held her phone tight and said with a trembling voice.
“Mummy, there are small horses here. These horses can fly. There are a lot of cars and balloons. Come quickly. I want you to take me on a ride.”
“Ok. Mummy will find you soon,” Xia Ning said in a low voice. She tried to calm herself down.
“Yes, yes. And Daddy. With Daddy protecting us, we won’t be afraid no matter how high we fly.”
“Yes,” Xia Ning answered, feeling extremely bitter in her heart. She wanted to continue but the call was already hung up.
She made another call immediately but the other party refused.
Zheng Ziming looked at Xia Ning and said in a low voice, “Asteria, what do you mean?”
“He’s telling me he has the kid,” Xia Ning said in a low voice. “I want to know the voice of the person who kidnapped my son.”
After a few calls, they were all rejected. Just as Xia Ning was ready to call again, a message came in.
A man wearing a mask was talking to Enoch. Enoch was holding a balloon and his face was full of joy. The nanny and chauffeur by his side were nowhere to be seen. Most importantly, in the photo, Xia Ning saw a protruding part behind the masked man’s shirt. It looked like a gun!
“The kidnapper brought a gun,” Xia Ning said suddenly. “Do as he says.”
Zheng Ziming darted a look at her. “Do you really not want Qiao Yu to know?”
Xia Ning said in a low voice, “You know Su Jingcheng’s means. He won’t give the enemy a chance to breathe. He has the most advanced surveillance equipment. Maybe he knows everything that’s going on here. If I tell Qiao Yu and Qiao Yu calls the police, he’ll kill them directly. Maybe Qiao Yu will be in danger too. It’s not like he hasn’t done this before.”
Zheng Ziming nodded and looked worried. He knew it was not that simple. How could Brother Jingcheng let Asteria marry someone else?
In the CEO’s office of Shengshi Group, Qiao Yu was sitting on a chair and listening to Chen Hong’s report about SE Entertainment. He looked at the time and asked, “Did something happen at SE Entertainment?”
“I don’t know. Let’s see if Boss can contact Miss Xia,” Chen Hong answered.
Qiao Yu looked at his phone and frowned a little. He had made a lot of calls but no one picked up. He suddenly felt a bit uneasy.
At the press conference, the reporters had been waiting for a long time but no one came.
“Is the press conference going to be canceled?”
“What’s wrong with Xia Ning? Making fun of us?!”
“Let’s wait. Because of this, I haven’t slept for a few days. It won’t take long.”
“She’s a big shot now. Asking us to wait is already giving us face.
The reporters were whispering to each other and making a scene. The faces of the reporters were not looking good.
“Look, Xia Ning is here!” Someone shouted and everyone looked over.
Xia Ning walked in with Zheng Ziming. She walked to her seat and did not sit down. Instead, she said to the reporters directly, “Thank you for coming to the press conference today. I know there is a lot of news about me on the Internet lately. I will answer a few questions for everyone today.”
Zheng Ziming was ready to help her. She waved her hand and asked him to sit down.
She looked at the reporters and continued, “Shen Tianlang has already clarified his resignation, so I don’t plan to explain further. The truth will speak for itself. As for my relationship with the president of Shengshi Group, Qiao Yu.” As she spoke, she paused for a second and looked to the front with deep eyes. “We are just simple collegemates. As for the ten percent of the shares, he lent them to me. I will return them soon.”
