My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 760

Nan Chen's expression was grim. “I hope it's not what I think it is,” he said.

“What are you thinking? What are you talking about?”

“A man called me just now, saying that my wife and children are in his hands, and demanded me to give him ten

million!”

Ning Ran's sleepiness vanished the moment she heard that.

“Your wife and children? Who? Do you have other children and another wife? Where are you hiding them?” She

bombarded him with questions.

“What nonsense are you talking about? You and our two children should be the wife and children he was referring

to,” he retorted.

“But we are right here, so how can we be in his hands? Is it a scam?”

“I don't think so. It was a Livingsfill number. Could it be—”

“Oh, gosh!”

Ning Ran gasped aloud before Nan Chen could complete his sentence, recalling that she had asked Lu Jingyuan to

help feed Erbao's goldfish and change the water in the tank. Don't tell me they've been kidnapped?

“I also hope that's not the case—”

Before Nan Chen could finish speaking, his phone's notification sounded, indicating that he had received a text.

It was an image. Despite the poor lighting, they could still see Lu Jingyuan's pretty face clearly. Beside her were Lu

Yunxue and Lu Yunbing, both sporting terror-stricken looks.

“It really is them. We have put them in great danger. What should we do now? Give ten million to the kidnappers?

She and her children must not be harmed in any way. Or else, I'll live with remorse for the rest of my life!” Ning Ran

said anxiously.

“If giving them ten million can solve the problem, I'll be more than willing to do so. However, they are obviously still

in the car, and judging from the kidnapper's call, it sounded like they are still on the road, which means they are

getting farther and farther away from Livingsfill...”

Just then, his phone vibrated again. It was the same caller from earlier.

“See? Your wife and children are with us. Your wife is quite pretty, and your daughters are adorable. As long as you

give me the money, I promise not to hurt them,” stated the kidnapper.

“No problem, but I need to get it ready as it's not a small amount. You'd better treat my daughters well. Otherwise

—”

“Cut the crap! Ten million may be a lot to others, but for you, it's nothing. Give me the money if you want your wife

and children to be safe!”

“It's rather late now, so I'll give it to you tomorrow. Would you prefer cash or a bank transfer?” Nan Chen asked.

“Bank transfer, of course. I'll send you the account number, and you transfer the money there,” replied the

kidnapper.

“When can I see my wife and children then?”

“We'll discuss that when the money arrives. You mustn't call the police, or your wife and children will be dead!”

With that, the kidnapper ended the call.

After a while, he sent a text with an overseas bank account number.

“What should we do? Should we call the police?” asked Ning Ran.

“Right now, we must inform Lu Jingyuan's family about this. We'll hurry over to Livingsfill now. Lu Jingyuan was

kidnapped because of us, so we can't let anything happen to her!” Nan Chen started getting ready as he said that.

“I only know that she is from the capital, though. She has never mentioned her family, and I don't have their

contact details.”

“I remember you telling me before that there is a riff-raff named Li Xiaolong in Livingsfill. His brother-in-law is the

police sergeant, right?”

“Yes.”

“That police sergeant once told his brother-in-law to apologize to you all, and that was because Lu Jingyuan had

pressured him through her connections. This means that there are people in Livingsfill who know her identity. It's

just that they have higher statuses. But if word gets out about her kidnapping, someone will surely report it to her

family. I'm guessing that her family background is very prominent. I've also looked into some of her issues and can

pretty much piece everything together. But I can't have someone contact her family directly. Otherwise, I won't be

able to explain it. Inform Li Xiaolong about this now and have him tell his sergeant brother-in-law to find a way to

notify Ms. Lu's family.”

What Nan Chen said was a bit complicated, but Ning Ran could understand most of his reasoning.

“But I don't have that riff-raff's contact details,” she replied gloomily.

“Forget it. I'll let Qiao Zhan handle it. I'll let him use his connections to find a way to notify Ms. Lu's family,” said Nan

Chen.

“Do we transfer the ten million over then? What if they kill the hostages if we don't?”

“We can't do that for the time being. The fact that those people are still on the road means that they're not only

after the money but also Ms. Lu. We must delay this matter as I'm afraid that they'll kill the hostages instead once

the money reaches them. I'm going to call my friends and ask them to help me investigate this overseas account.

You can carry on sleeping. I'm going to deal with this matter.”

“How can I sleep? If anything happens to Lu Jingyuan, then I'll really—”

“She'll be fine. Don't think too much,” Nan Chen comforted.

In a small town not far from the border of a country in the Xinan region, the MPV stopped, and Lu Jingyuan was

lifted out of the vehicle.

It was already four in the morning, and the children, although terrified, were already very sleepy.

Lu Jingyuan and her two children were taken into a shabby guesthouse. There were no other guests there as it was

the gang's hideout.

The kidnapper was annoyed by her muffled moans, so he tore off the tape from her mouth.

“I want to drink water.” Lu Jingyuan took a deep breath, looking unusually calm.

“Give her some water,” said the leader of the kidnappers to his subordinates.

The subordinate took a bottle of mineral water, twisted open the cap, and poured water into her mouth.

He was astounded by her beauty as he watched her drink water.

This woman is truly gorgeous! Why don't we...

“I heard you calling Nan Chen and asking him for money. You've made a mistake. I'm not his wife. You've kidnapped

the wrong person,” Lu Jingyuan said calmly.

The kidnappers looked at each other.

“That can't be. He has agreed to pay the ransom! There's no way you're not his wife! A beautiful woman with twins.

That can't be wrong!” roared the leader of the kidnappers.

“Nan Chen does have twins, but they are a boy and a girl. I have two daughters, so you guys have made a mistake.

But since he promised to cover my ransom, that's also fine. Let me and my daughters go. He'll surely give you the

money,” she said.

“You're truly not his wife?” The kidnapper was still not convinced.

“Like I said, no. You must let me go as soon as possible and send a car to take me out of here. Otherwise, you'll be

in deep trouble.”

The kidnappers exchanged looks again before bursting into hysterical laughter.

“Boss, this b*tch is trying to scare us. Telling us to let her go as soon as possible or we'll be in deep trouble? I'd like

to know what kind of trouble we'll get into!”

“Exactly. She must be that guy's wife. Otherwise, why would he be willing to pay ten million to save her?”

“That's right. She must be Nan Chen's wife. How is it possible for us to kidnap the wrong people and still end up with

a set of twins? How can there be such a coincidence? This b*tch is just cooking up some stories to trick us because

she wants to escape as soon as possible. We mustn't be fooled by her. Does she think we're stupid?”
