That meant Nan Chen was really in trouble.

Feng Wan and Nan Zhengde were well aware of their grandson's capabilities. After all, there were very few things in the world that could put Nan Chen in a dilemma.

“Instead of asking for money, he wants to trade by exchanging people, right?”

Nan Zhengde was incredible, for he guessed it right.

Hearing that, Nan Chen nodded with a lump in his throat.

“Huh? Who does he want in exchange?” asked Feng Wan in surprise.

“Ning Ran's friend. Her friend has something to do with the death of Ruan Anxi's subordinate. That's why he asked to have tea with Ning Ran's friend. He didn't say that himself, though. Instead, he asked someone to say it on his behalf.”

Nodding, Nan Zhengde commented, “This person is a cunning one. He doesn't make an appearance to avoid leaving evidence around.”

“Exactly. He doesn't restrict Ning Ran's movements, either. So, even if we file a police report, we won't be able to sue him for kidnapping. There isn't enough evidence. Besides, he's a foreigner. He'll definitely seek protection from his country, which will make things more troublesome,” said Nan Chen.

“Then, did you talk to Ning Ran's friend? Is she willing to take Ning Ran's place?” As soon as Nan Zhengde finished his sentence, he shook his head to dismiss his thoughts. “She probably won't agree to it. Who'd be willing to take such a huge risk for a friend?”

“She's actually willing to go, but I dare not let her. The risk is too huge. After all, Ruan Anxi has a lot of experience in kidnapping,” said Nan Chen.

“You're right. This is a tricky situation. We can't let someone else take the risk because of Ning Ran. It is life too,” agreed Nan Zhengde.

“So, how are we going to settle this? That leaves calling the police our only option, right?” Feng Wan asked, beginning to panic.

“Chen hasn't finished telling us everything. Let's listen to the rest of it,” Nan Zhengde advised, gesturing for Feng Wan to calm down.

“I've finished speaking, Grandpa.”

“No, you haven't. I can sense there's something you haven't told me,” Nan Zhengde insisted.

Nan Chen had no idea how Nan Zhengde noticed it. Grandpa is incredible. It's as if he can read people's minds.
