Chapter 188 Ashes for Money
"I don't give a damn who owns your house. I can't get the money, so you can just wait to be eaten alive!"
The kidnapper's patience ran out and he hung up the phone.
The Cheng family is now in complete chaos.
They called Cheng Yan and Cheng Yuan repeatedly, but couldn't get through to them. It seemed that they were really kidnapped.
5000 million would have been no problem in the past.
But asking them to come up with 5000 million now is simply cutting their flesh.
Although they still have some assets, there are not many left. Those are their last belongings, and no one wants to take them out.
Especially Cheng Qichu's family, who were almost left with nothing because of the problems in Cheng Qiyuan's company.
Now asking them to take money is absolutely impossible!
The answer is just one word: no money!
"Let me put it this way, we really don't have any money. I'll give you 20, and I can't give you any more!" Cheng Qichu spoke first.
"What!!! Cheng Qichu, the person who was kidnapped was your father, and you only offered 20?"
Chen Mingyan's sharp voice sounded, with a look of disbelief on her face.
"Besides, the family's expenses during this period have all relied on my A-Yuan!
You are so cruel that you don't even try to help him now. "
"Second sister-in-law, how can you talk like that!" Xie Feizhi suddenly stood up.
"My family gave you so much money for my second brother's matter some time ago. Now we really can't come up with the money."
"You...you guys want my Ayuan to die!"
Chen Mingyan pointed at Cheng Qichu and Xie Feizhi, her body shaking with anger.
Cheng Yin looked at his parents, then at Chen Mingyan, and suddenly felt a very unfamiliar feeling.
It was as if the previous harmony was all an illusion. After tearing off the mask of disguise, it was completely shattered by reality at this moment.
"I have 100 million in my hand, I'll give it all to you." Cheng Yin suddenly said.
As soon as he said this, everyone's expressions were stunned.
Although, Cheng Yan usually loves Cheng Yuan and Cheng Xuan the most.
Because Cheng Yin has always been a bit stupid, although he is not bullied in the Cheng family, he is not in Cheng Yan's eyes.
But he will not be deprived of the share he deserves on a normal day.
It’s just that they don’t pay too much attention to him, and he has always been considered a marginal figure in the Cheng family.
Cheng Qichu stopped talking now and turned to look at Xie Feizhi.
"Second sister-in-law, I'm not trying to discourage you, but even if we sell everything we have now, it would be difficult to raise that much cash in such a short time."
Chen Mingyan has calmed down now, and naturally knows that what Cheng Qichu said makes sense.
"Then what do you say we should do? Are we really going to let Dad and Ayuan wait to die?"
"Why don't we call the police?" Xie Feizhi suggested in a low voice, so that she wouldn't have to pay.
"That won't do. What if we call the police and they really kill us?" Chen Mingyan immediately stood up to object.
Cheng Xuan also quickly objected.
"You can't call the police, it will make them angry!"
Xie Feizhi just mentioned it casually, but now he thinks it’s not feasible.
"We can't call the police, so what should we do? We don't have much time left!"
For a time, things came to a stalemate.
After a moment, Cheng Yin's eyes lit up and he suggested.
"How about we ask Ah Wang for help? Even if he doesn't like us, he is his grandfather after all. He shouldn't stand by and watch us die."
Hearing this, Cheng Qichu's expression was obviously stunned for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
“But ever since the last incident, he no longer cares about us.
It’s not so easy to ask him for money now.”
The hope that had just been ignited was shattered in an instant.
"Hasn't Grandpa always had my uncle's ashes? Let's exchange them for money. He'll definitely give it to us!"
Hearing Cheng Ying's proposal, everyone looked at each other, obviously taking it to heart.
"But the old man has been hiding that thing very carefully. Even we don't know where it is."
Looking at the others, they all shook their heads. This was a bit difficult.
"Then why don't we just ask Grandpa to clarify? Saving lives is definitely the most important thing right now!
That thing can't be eaten, so it should be returned to Ah Wang. After all, they are his parents."
As soon as these words were spoken, the others looked hesitant. They also knew that the old man could only rely on this thing to barely stabilize Cheng Wang.
If this thing is gone now, Cheng Wang will have no scruples when he wants to deal with them in the future.
But in the current situation, they have no time to think about the future. Any further hesitation may cost their son's life.
"Then hurry up and ask the old man where that thing is!"
This was the only solution at the moment, so Cheng Xuan quickly called the kidnapper.
Because the phone was on speakerphone, the kidnappers heard everything they said.
"No wonder President Cheng dislikes an old man like you. You're capable of doing such a wicked thing.
Others say we're incredibly evil, but now it seems we're still no match for the filthiness of what these rich people do. It's truly disgusting!"
Even the kidnapper couldn't help but give Cheng Yan a thumbs up and said sarcastically.
Cheng Yan didn't think he had done anything wrong at all. When he saw the will left by Cheng Qiming, he almost died of anger.
He knew at that time that Cheng Wang, the little beast, would definitely not be an easy person to deal with when he grew up, so he secretly kept a trick up his sleeve.
The Cheng family learned the whereabouts of the ashes from Cheng Yan.
He immediately went into the old man's room and found the worn lacquered wooden box under a floor tile under his bed.
Looking at the thing, everyone thought it was unlucky and took a few steps back, wanting others to take it.
Cheng Qiming and his wife were burned to death. When the firefighters arrived, they only found some of their unburned bones in the rubble.
Although Cheng Wang was rescued by Cheng Qiming at that time, he was still choked by a lot of smoke and fell into a coma.
He stayed in the hospital for several days before slowly waking up, but he had completely lost his beloved parents and his home.
It was at that time that Cheng Yan hid the ashes of Cheng Qiming and his wife without telling anyone.
Cheng Wang was young at the time and had tried to look for it, but never found it.
"Old man, what a jerk! He puts this thing under the bed and doesn't think it's creepy!"
Chen Mingyan's face was full of disgust and she tried to back away.
Seeing that no one was taking action, Cheng Yin took a step forward, but was stopped by Xie Feizhi.
"Why are you going up there? You can't touch these things randomly. It will mess up your luck..."
"Mom! What are you talking about!
Have you forgotten that when I was a child, I accidentally fell into the pond and it was my uncle who jumped in to save me?
If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be alive today, and my luck would be affected."
After saying that, he took the box out without caring about what others thought.
