When I opened my eyes, I went back to the night when I forced my husband to give birth to a son.

The man spoke something in a foreign language into the intercom, and soon two tall and burly foreigners were seen dragging Su Xiaowan out of the car.

Xiao Beiguo looked at Su Xiaowan, who was wearing thin clothes, and called out anxiously, "Xiaowan!"

"North Country!" Su Xiaowan was blindfolded and couldn't see clearly, so she could only shout loudly in response.

The foreigner signaled his companions to search Xiao Beiguo to see if he was carrying any dangerous items. After confirming that there was no problem, he asked his companions to remove the cloth strips from Su Xiaowan.

When she saw Xiao Beiguo, Su Xiaowan's eyes suddenly became warm. She ran towards him and hugged him tightly.

"Xiao Wan, I'm sorry for making you suffer. Promise me to take care of yourself and the child."

Xiao Beiguo hugged her tightly, his tone full of reluctance and worry.

Before Su Xiaowan could say anything, the foreigner stepped forward and pulled her away, dragging Xiao Beiguo over.

She yelled at Su Xiaowan, "Go raise the money quickly, or else you'll have to wait for your man to be dead!"

Before Su Xiaowan could figure out what was going on, Xiao Beiguo had already been dragged into the car by those people.

She chased after him and yelled, "Northland!"

"Xiao Wan, be obedient and drive away. Nancheng will meet you one kilometer away. Be well."

After Xiao Beiguo finished speaking, he was ruthlessly dragged into the car by those people. Others also got in the car and left in an orderly manner.

Looking at the empty place, Su Xiaowan's mind went blank, and Xiao Beiguo's words echoed in her ears.

Be well!

She slumped down on the ground, tears falling like beads from a broken string.

She didn't know why Xiao Beiguo showed up and replaced her, but he asked her to go back. Did that mean he had no other options?

Thinking of this, Su Xiaowan cheered herself up again, got in the car, and drove away along the road.

Not long after driving, I saw a car in front flashing its lights, and then Song Nancheng got out.

When he saw Su Xiaowan, he couldn't hide his worry, "Xiaowan, are you okay?"

“Brother Nancheng, why does Beiguo do this?”

As soon as Su Xiaowan opened her mouth, her voice could no longer be held back and tears could not stop falling.

"This is a long story. Let's go back and talk about it first. You take my car. I'll have the tow truck come over for your car."

Given Su Xiaowan's current condition, he didn't dare let her drive back alone, which was a journey of several hours.

After getting in the car, Su Xiaowan kept looking out the window. No one knew what she was thinking, and she wasn't crying, but one could feel that she was in a very low mood.

It was already early morning when we finally arrived at the hotel. Ji Yuelan was already waiting there.

Seeing Su Xiaowan, she rushed over and hugged her, choking with sobs and shouting, "Xiaowan, you're back."

Su Xiaowan hummed stiffly, but her tears couldn't stop flowing.

"Let's go into the room first." Song Nancheng felt very uncomfortable when he saw this scene.

The three of them returned to the hotel room, and Song Nancheng went to pour a glass of water for Su Xiaowan. Ji Yuelan had already asked her to eat the food first.

"Brother Nancheng, Yuelan, why did Beiguo want to swap me out?"

Su Xiaowan had no appetite at all and just wanted to know the current situation.

"Eat something first. We'll talk to you slowly after you finish eating. You've been out for two days. How can your body handle it if you don't eat? There are still many things for you to deal with next."

"Xiao Wan, listen to Nan Cheng and eat first. You can't get into any trouble at this time."

Ji Yuelan looked at her haggard face. She had lost a lot of weight in just two days. She didn't know how Su Xiaowan had managed to get through the past two days.

Although she had no appetite, Su Xiaowan still numbly picked up the food and stuffed it into her mouth, one bite after another, which made Ji Yuelan feel heartbroken.

"Xiao Wan, eat slowly and don't choke. Drink some soup." Ji Yuelan felt very uncomfortable.

I fed her some soup and watched her drink it before I continued feeding her.

After Su Xiaowan finished eating, she asked anxiously, "Can you tell me now?"

"The kidnappers want 100 million US dollars and want us to raise the money within three days. Now we only have less than two days."

When Song Nancheng talked about this, his tone was a little heavy, "Xiao Wan, the kidnappers' purpose this time is not simple. They are coming for our brand."

"The real purpose is to acquire our brand. If we want to raise enough money now, we have to sell both the store and the company."

"After clearing the assets under my and Yue Lan's names, there is only less than 50 million. Add in yours and Bei Guo's, and there is still a shortfall of tens of millions."

"The company and the store are in a state of emergency right now, so I estimate that we can only get 15 million."

This is still the most Gu Nanting calculated, but it is just a drop in the bucket compared to 100 million US dollars.

When Su Xiaowan heard that the other party wanted 100 million US dollars, her face changed and her tone was very firm.

"They want not only money, but also our lives!"

"Xiao Wan, no matter what, we have to raise money first. Nancheng and I have sold everything we can. We should have news tomorrow."

Ji Yuelan knew that this was difficult, so when she needed so much money, she borrowed money from her parents.

Although it wasn't much, she tried every way she could think of to borrow money.

"Xiao Wan, don't worry too much. Let's work together and we will definitely be able to raise enough money to redeem the Northern Kingdom."

Looking at Ji Yuelan and Song Nancheng, Su Xiaowan suddenly stood up, knelt down, and burst into tears.

"Xiao Wan, what are you doing!?"

Ji Yuelan was frightened and hurried to help her up, but she choked up and said, "Yuelan, Brother Nancheng, I'm the one who implicated you this time."

"Why are you saying that? These people are here for our brand. Even if they don't arrest you, they will arrest Yue Lan. No matter who it is, we can't just ignore it!"

Song Nancheng pulled the man up and asked Ji Yuelan to help him sit on the sofa, his tone heavy.

"Xiao Wan, this matter is not simple. There must be a mastermind behind this. There are two things we need to do now."

"The first is to do everything possible to collect 10,000 US dollars, and the second is to find the mastermind behind it, but we have to do these two things separately."

Su Xiaowan looked at Song Nancheng, "Brother Nancheng, do you mean that we have to raise 100 million US dollars and also put the store and the company up for sale?"

"Yes, I have already spread the news that I am in a hurry to sell the company and the store. I think within two days at most, the mastermind behind the scenes will definitely contact us to buy them, and at the lowest price."

"We need to take advantage of this opportunity to trade with the other party with this 100 million US dollars before the transaction, but we cannot let the other party know that we already have this money."

Ji Yuelan was confused, "Nancheng, are you saying that we should prepare money or not?"

"Of course we have to prepare, otherwise the North Country will definitely be in danger, but we have to let the people behind the scenes think that we are waiting to sell the company and the store to raise enough money."
