After the divorce, the CEO knelt down every night begging for remarriage.

Li Tingze got out of the car first and had the driver take Lin Zhi and Bao'er into the old house.

As soon as Jiang Anran saw him, she immediately knelt at his feet, tears streaming down her face, and pleaded, "Tingze, I beg you, please plead with the old man for me to let Anan go and return to China, okay? And your father... could you please put in a good word for me with him? I still love him very much, please let me go back to the old house, okay?"

Li Tingze didn't want to get involved in Jiang Anran's affair with her father.

However, he could discuss whether Jiang Nan should return to China with Grandpa Li.

"I can say a few words to Grandpa about Jiang Nan's matter, but as for your issue with my dad, you two should resolve it yourselves. You know better than I do that he might not listen to anything I say." Li Tingze agreed to help because he didn't want Jiang Anran to bother Lin Zhi and Bao'er any further because of Jiang Nan's situation.

Jiang Anran was extremely grateful. As long as Jiang Nan could return to China, she would have someone to rely on and wouldn't end up homeless.

She had very little money left, and if she couldn't return to her father's side, she feared she would have no way to survive.

“As long as you are willing to help, I believe the old man will definitely bring Anan back. When that happens, I will be able to keep him as the vice president of the Li Group and that will put my mind at ease.”

"Whether Grandpa agrees or not is not up to me. If he doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do. You're not allowed to bother my wife and children anymore, or I'll be very rude to you."

After saying this, Li Tingze turned and went into the old house.

He immediately went to see Grandpa Li and explained that Jiang Anran had asked him for help. After thinking it over, Grandpa Li did not agree to let Jiang Nan be transferred back to China. He used the excuse that Jiang Nan still needed to be trained and personally called Jiang Anran to inform her, which made Jiang Anran so angry that she cursed him on the phone.

Li Tingze frowned, feeling slightly uneasy, and said, "Grandpa, if you do this, Jiang Anran will definitely not let it go."

"She's just a woman, what trouble could she possibly cause?" Grandpa Li waved his hand, using the excuse of being tired and needing to rest to send Li Tingze away. Then he called Jiang Anran, warning her not to cause any more trouble, or he would even cancel Jiang Nan's position in Singapore. Jiang Anran was furious and cursed Grandpa Li for being biased on the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Grandpa Li didn't take it seriously and simply blocked her number.

Jiang Anran was furious and extremely unwilling to accept this.

Why should the best of everything belong to Li Tingze and not to Jiang Nan?

Jiang Nan is clearly a member of the Li family.

After much deliberation, she decided to do something to make everyone in the Li family wary of her.

-

As time went by, Bao'er grew up to be better and better.

In three months, he learned to lift his head, and his smile and laughter became brighter and more cheerful.

Li Tingze kept his promise and devoted more time to Bao'er and Lin Zhi, gradually letting go of work-related matters and no longer doing everything himself.

As for Jiang Nan's matter, Grandpa Li refused to budge, and no one else dared to mention it again.

When Jiang Anran approached Lin Zhi again, Lin Zhi was in the park with Bao'er, enjoying nature.

Seeing Jiang Anran getting closer and closer, she was terrified. She immediately hugged Bao'er tightly and shouted at Jiang Anran, "What do you want to do?"

"Lin Zhi, why is everyone so determined to destroy me and Anan? What did Anan do wrong that you treat him like this? I did nothing wrong, yet I've ended up in this miserable state. It's all because of you, and you, this daughter who shouldn't have been born! You've taken everything that was rightfully mine."

As Jiang Anran spoke, her eyes grew increasingly sinister, her gaze fixed on Lin Zhi and Bao'er with a chilling murderous intent.

Lin Zhi sensed something was wrong and didn't dare to waste words with Jiang Anran. She immediately ran away with Bao'er in her arms.

Jiang Anran quickly caught up and used all her strength to snatch Bao'er from her arms.

Lin Zhisheng was afraid of breaking Bao'er's hand, so she had to let go.

With tears welling up in her eyes, she said to Jiang Anran, "I know you're short of money. Tell me how much you need, and I'll give it to you!"

"As long as you give me 5 billion, I will immediately return this bastard to you." Jiang Anran said, and quickly ran towards the intersection. Lin Zhi chased after him desperately, but she was no match for Jiang Anran's speed. Halfway there, she tripped over something and fell to the ground.

She tried to get up again, but her legs wouldn't obey her commands, and she could only watch helplessly as Jiang Anran snatched Bao'er away.

"Bao'er, give me back my Bao'er..."

Jiang Anran was prepared. She ran to the intersection, got into a dilapidated van, and sped away.

Lin Zhi frantically took out her phone and dialed Li Tingze's number.

Because of the intense emotional distress, it was difficult for him to utter a complete sentence.

Choking back tears, she cried out, "Bao'er... Bao'er was... taken away by Jiang Anran..."

Li Tingze was in a meeting at Li Corporation when he received the call. After hearing Lin Zhi's words, he immediately jumped up and said to his assistant, "Quickly check Jiang Anran's whereabouts. We need to be fast."

After explaining everything, he drove himself to the park to find Lin Zhi.

When Li Tingze saw Lin Zhi lying on the grass, unable to get up, he was stunned.

He rushed to her and asked anxiously, "Are you hurt?"

Lin Zhi trembled all over, pointing in the direction Jiang Anran had fled.

Li Tingze knew she was terrified, so he immediately picked her up and carried her back to the car.

Just then, the assistant called, saying that Jiang Anran had meticulously planned it, driving a wrecked car and disappearing after heading onto a village road.

After hearing this, he immediately roared into the phone: "Keep searching! Find it no matter what, even if you have to dig three feet into the ground!"

He had just hung up the phone when his cell phone rang.

The caller ID showed an unknown number.

"Li Tingze, now you know the pain of being separated from your child, right? If you don't want your daughter to die at my hands, bring 5 billion to see me right now. I'll give you the money and return your daughter to you."

Jiang Anran's voice was sinister, accompanied by Bao'er's cries.

Upon hearing the crying, Lin Zhi immediately shouted at Jiang Anran, "You are not allowed to bully Bao'er. We can give you the money, but you must guarantee that Bao'er is unharmed. Otherwise, you can forget about living a good life."

Jiang Anran burst out laughing and replied fearlessly, "I was basically no different from being dead, but your daughter is different; she has a bright future ahead of her. If you don't want her to die like this, then you'd better do as I say."

Li Tingze gently patted Lin Zhi's back to calm her down.

Then, he calmly said, "Fifty billion, are you sure you want me to convert it into cash and give it to you? That's no small sum, can you carry it all by yourself?"

"Just bring it here. How I take it away is none of your business." As soon as Jiang Anran finished speaking, Bao'er's heart-wrenching sobs rang out again, making Lin Zhi's heart break.

After the call ended, a message arrived quickly with the transaction address listed.

Li Tingze can definitely come up with 5 billion.

However, withdrawing 5 billion in cash from a bank might not be that quick.

Without thinking twice, he immediately ordered all the major banks to withdraw the money and then pool it together.

Five billion units weigh 57.5 tons. After being repackaged, they need to be loaded onto heavy trucks and transported to the address given by Jiang Anran.

Li Tingze didn't want Lin Zhi to come along, but Lin Zhi insisted on going, so he had no choice but to take her with him.

The address is in a barren field in a village, where transportation is very inconvenient.

Even if it's a cash-on-delivery transaction, it would be difficult for Jiang Anran to transport so much money by himself.

Li Tingze found it very strange. Jiang Anran wasn't stupid, so why would she do this?

Once he arrived at his destination, he instantly understood.

Several hundred villagers had gathered at the destination, waiting there as if they were about to unload the money from the truck.

Li Tingze had his staff stop the people rushing forward, and then took out his phone and dialed Jiang Anran's number.

Jiang Anran gave him another address, specifically asking Lin Zhi to go there alone, and that she would naturally return Bao'er to them then.

Li Tingze disagreed, and Jiang Anran hung up the phone immediately.

Upon learning this, Lin Zhi didn't hesitate and immediately ran towards the mountain Jiang Anran had mentioned.

She didn't want to waste a single minute and wanted to see Bao'er as soon as possible.

Several hours have passed, Bao'er must be hungry, Bao'er must be missing her mother.

Thinking this, Lin Zhi was already in tears.

But she dared not let herself break down, fearing that seeing Bao'er would frighten her even more.

It took her about fifteen minutes to climb to the location Jiang Anran had mentioned.

This is an abandoned small factory, surrounded by rugged terrain; most people wouldn't find a place like this.

From afar, she could hear Bao'er crying.

"Baby, don't cry, Mommy's here."

She shouted as she walked into the small factory and immediately saw Bao'er, who had been thrown on the ground by Jiang Anran. She was so frightened that she immediately tried to rush over, but Jiang Anran was holding a sharp dagger and stabbing at Bao'er.

"Stop! Don't hurt Bao'er!"

Lin Zhi's voice trembled with fear as she pleaded, "We've brought the money! You promised to return the treasure to me!"

"Hehe, so much money, do you really think I can take it all?" Jiang Anran slowly stood up and walked towards Lin Zhi. Lin Zhi dared not make any rash moves, for fear of endangering Bao'er.

The next second, Jiang Anran held the sharp dagger to her neck and strangled her: "Li Tingze is no fool. He must be on his way here now. The child won't be in any danger if he leaves him here. Come out with me."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhi quickly nodded in agreement.

I'd do anything to ensure Bao'er's safety.

She quietly let Jiang Anran pull her to the edge of the cliff.

Just then, Li Tingze arrived as well.

Lin Zhi shouted loudly to Li Tingze, "Bao'er is in the small factory. Go and rescue Bao'er first."

Li Tingze did not leave, but instead asked his assistant to hold Bao'er.

The assistant quickly brought Bao'er out.

At that moment, Lin Zhi's whole body went limp, and her tense emotions finally relaxed.

Li Tingze instructed his assistant to take Bao'er away from there and wait in a safe place.

He and the others stayed behind to deal with Jiang Anran.

The helicopter that Jiang Anran hired has arrived, carrying not only his accomplice piloting the helicopter but also the money brought by Li Tingze.

Although they didn't take it all, it still amounted to several billion, enough for them to squander.

At this moment, nothing is more important to Li Tingze than Lin Zhi's life safety.

He understood Jiang Anran's intention and said calmly, "Jiang Anran, as long as you release Zhi'er, I guarantee you can leave safely with the money."

"Of course." Jiang Anran smiled faintly, then coerced Lin Zhi to come to the helicopter. When she boarded the helicopter, she pushed Lin Zhi off hard.

Just at the edge of a cliff, Lin Zhi tumbled headlong down the cliff.

Startled, Li Tingze immediately lunged forward and grabbed her wrist in time.

Below the cliff is a bottomless black hole.

Li Tingze gripped Lin Zhi's hand with all his might and shouted through gritted teeth, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. I'll pull you up right away."

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, making Lin Zhi, who was already weak, sway precariously.

When the others arrived, sand blew into their eyes, causing them so much pain they couldn't open them.
