"I understand," Liu Ming said gratefully.

Zhang Sicheng looked suspicious and said, "What do you understand?"

"Nothing," Liu Ming laughed.

Zhang Sicheng always felt that Liu Ming had misunderstood his meaning, but he couldn't be bothered to care; this was a time to be happy.

"Brother Wang, you're a bit dishonest. You clearly knew in advance, yet you didn't say a word to me." Seeing that Liu Ming was truly fine, Zhang Sicheng went to chat with others.

Wang Tao gave a bitter smile and said, "President Zhang, did I dare tell you?"

"Alright, Brother Wang, don't take it too much to heart. My father isn't as terrifying as you imagine," Zhang Sicheng said with a smile.

What could Wang Tao say?

Wasn't the fate of people like Tian Yaohui obvious enough?

If he, Wang Tao, dared to do anything, he reckoned the outcome wouldn't be any better than that of people like Tian Yaohui.

Just as the Zhang Family was holding their birthday banquet, in Xi City, Fei Lan was filled with worry.

Logically speaking, she should be happy right now, because ever since Zhang Ran came over last time, the medical issues of the children at the orphanage had been completely resolved.

For problems that modern medicine could solve, Zhang Ran had arranged for the children to receive treatment, and for those that couldn't be solved, he had provided reasonable and stable plans.

There was no shortage of treatment costs or medicine.

The children could also feel this change, so there had been much, much more laughter in the orphanage lately than before.

Lao Sun was currently full of rage, yet also full of self-reproach; he hadn't expected that despite all his precautions, he still hadn't managed to prevent this.

"Lao Sun, do you think they will hurt Nannan?" Fei Lan said worriedly.

Lao Sun quickly said, "They won't. They only want to threaten us. Don't worry, they won't hurt Nannan. Once Nannan is harmed, the matter will blow up, and they don't dare."

"Should we just agree to their conditions? I am truly worried about Nannan's safety," Fei Lan said.

Lao Sun was silent for a long while, his fists clenched, his heart filled with unwillingness.

But no matter how unwilling he was, it was useless. He could only nod helplessly and say, "Yes, we truly cannot afford to drag this out. But the children are much better now, so we will just have to live a bit more bitterly for a while."

Immediately, he took out his old-fashioned mobile phone and made a call: "We agree to your conditions."

The other side seemed somewhat surprised, but still said, "Haha, I suppose you are still sensible. If you had continued to be unappreciative, it wouldn't have been this simple."

Lao Sun clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and said, "But before signing the contract, you must return Nannan to us unharmed, otherwise I will not sign."

"That is not for you to decide. But rest assured, we aren't desperate criminals; we are just people taking money to do a job, so you don't need to worry about us."

"I have already agreed, what else do you want?" Lao Sun roared.

"Why are you roaring at me? Does it make your voice sound louder?" The other side roared back.

Lao Sun suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a low voice, "I was wrong, I apologize to you, but I must see Nannan."

"Fine, everything will be easy to discuss after the contract is signed tomorrow." After saying this, the other side hung up.

Lao Sun's expression was extremely ugly; a bad premonition suddenly welled up in his heart.

Logically, he had already compromised, so why was the other side still stalling and insisting on waiting until the contract was signed to give him Nannan?

Could it be that something had happened to Nannan?

Thinking of this, Lao Sun could no longer sit still, but he had no good solution.

Call the police?

It was useless; there was no evidence at all. For this group of people to hide a small child was simply too easy.

Moreover, Lao Sun was also worried that these people might become angry out of shame and do something he would regret.

Yes, in Lao Sun's eyes, these people were actually just small-time thugs who couldn't make it to the big stage.

But it was precisely these small-time thugs that one needed to worry about doing something extreme when angered.

"How is it?" Seeing Lao Sun like this, Fei Lan immediately said worriedly.

Lao Sun hesitated for a moment before stating his guess; after all, there was no way to hide it.

"What to do, what to do, how could they be so heartless?" Fei Lan became anxious all of a sudden.

"If there is really no other way, you should go and ask your younger brother for help," Lao Sun said after hesitating for a moment.

Although they had encountered difficulties before, they also knew Zhang Ran's current status, and they had seen all the news.

But Fei Lan only felt proud to have such a brother and never wanted to trouble Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran had money, and was the richest person in Huaxia.

But so what?

That was his own money, and it had nothing to do with her, Fei Lan.

Furthermore, Fei Lan did not want to add trouble to Zhang Ran. She, as the older sister, couldn't help her brother, and on top of that, she would be adding trouble for him; in Fei Lan's view, such a thing was wrong.

Therefore, they had always wanted to solve the problem themselves.

But now that the situation had become like this, Fei Lan had absolutely no other way.

Fei Lan hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Yes, I will call Xiao Ran."

After saying that, she dialed Zhang Ran's mobile number with a hint of guilt in her heart.

At this moment, Zhang Ran had just returned home, and seeing his older sister's call, he immediately answered.

"Big Sister, is something the matter so late?" Zhang Ran went straight to the point, because he knew that if his sister didn't have something going on, she wouldn't call him so late.

His sister hesitated for a moment before saying, "Xiao Ran, can you help your big sister?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ran immediately said, "Big Sister, what are you saying? Have you encountered some trouble?"

"Yes, Nannan was taken away by someone. It's that little girl with the harelip you saw last time," Fei Lan said hurriedly.

Zhang Ran immediately thought of that timid little girl and said at once, "Big Sister, have you called the police? Should I rush over now? Do you have any clues?"

To Zhang Ran's surprise, Fei Lan actually hadn't called the police.

"No, we know who did it, but we have no evidence, and I'm also worried they might hurt Nannan," Fei Lan said worriedly.

Zhang Ran immediately knew that there must be other matters involved in this, otherwise Fei Lan would not have spoken like that.

However, he did not ask further and said directly, "I will head over right now. Big Sister, don't worry for now. Rest assured, it will be fine. Your brother is now the Richest Person in China; there are very few things that can stump me."

In order to calm Fei Lan's emotions, Zhang Ran emphasized his own status and position.

However, upon hearing this, Fei Lan did indeed breathe a slight sigh of relief. In her view, with such a status, Zhang Ran should have no problem.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ran spoke a few words to Sicheng and the others, then called He Yong to come and pick him up.
