Chapter 121: Chapter 121: A Son-in-law is Half a Son

Brother Yao raised his eyebrow, "What’s the condition?"

"My husband is already not in good health, and now he’s been injured. It would be terrible if something were to happen to him. Let’s do this: let my husband go with us, and have my son-in-law stay here in his place," Ding Lijuan proposed.

Upon hearing this, Han Jingting was stunned, not expecting her mother to make such a request.

Chen Xuan, although feeling that Ding Lijuan was somewhat heartless, also saw some logic in her perspective.

Moreover, he had martial arts skills, which would make it safer than leaving Han Bowwen to take the risk here.

Brother Yao didn’t think much and agreed directly, "Alright, let him replace him then!"

Afterwards, his men untied Han Bowwen and then tied Chen Xuan securely to the chair.

"Chen Xuan..."

Looking at Chen Xuan on the chair, Han Jingting’s face was filled with worry and guilt.

It was originally her father’s problem that started all this, yet now Chen Xuan had to take on the responsibility, which Han Jingting found hard to bear.

And when Chen Xuan saw that Han Jingting was still worried about him, he felt very comforted in his heart.

"Don’t worry, I’ll be fine."

Brother Yao snorted coldly, "Yes, if your wife brings the money to redeem you, then you’ll be fine. But if she can’t come up with the money... heh, then your pretty wife might just become a widow!"

Han Jingting felt a surge of fear at his words.

"Alright, Jingting, let’s go first!"

Ding Lijuan pulled Han Jingting and walked out, not even glancing at Chen Xuan.

Behind them, Brother Yao’s warning carried through, "Remember, I’m only giving you two hours. If I don’t see you back here in two hours, then you can prepare to collect a corpse!"

They finally emerged from the basement and got back into the car, where Ding Lijuan and Han Bowwen could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Finally escaped! Wuu wuu wuu..."

Escaping from that hell-like basement brought Han Bowwen to tears of relief.

Ding Lijuan slapped him on the head, "You still have the nerve to speak! If it weren’t for you, would Jingting and I have had to take such a big risk? Let’s see if you dare gamble again in the future!"

"I wouldn’t dare! I really wouldn’t dare anymore..." Han Bowwen said, cowering and holding his head.

He had always been subservient to Ding Lijuan, and now he would have even less dignity in front of her.

Ding Lijuan gave a cold snort, then said to Han Jingting, "Alright, Jingting, let’s take your dad to the hospital first to get his wound treated, then go home."

"Go home?" Han Jingting was stunned, "But we haven’t resolved the money issue yet..."

"Resolved? That’s twenty million we’re talking about. How could we resolve that? You’re not really thinking about misusing company funds just to save that good-for-nothing, are you?"

Han Bowwen also expressed his opposition, "Your mother is right. You finally became the company president; you absolutely cannot make any mistakes! What’s more, that’s twenty million. If you give it to them, what will we use to pay it back later?"

"But Chen Xuan is still in their hands. If we don’t give them the money, Chen Xuan’s life will be at risk!" Han Jingting was very worried.

Han Bowwen waved his hand dismissively, saying offhandedly, "He’s a grown man, what could happen to him. Those thugs are just trying to scare you; they wouldn’t dare to actually kill someone."

Han Jingting was completely taken aback.

The criminals had even chopped off her father’s finger, cruel and ruthless, a fact her father should know better than anyone, yet now he was making light of the situation, which deeply disappointed Han Jingting.

"Dad, how could you say that? Don’t forget, it was to replace you that Chen Xuan stayed inside! If it were you inside instead of Chen Xuan, could you still say such a thing?"

Han Jingting was also somewhat angry as she stared at Han Bowwen and coldly questioned him.

"I..." Han Bowwen was at a loss for words.

"How can you talk to your dad like that!" Ding Lijuan directly scolded, "Just a loser’s life, can it be compared with your dad’s? Don’t forget, you are our daughter, how can you stand on the side of that loser!"

"So what if he stayed for your dad? There’s a saying, a son-in-law is half a son; letting him make an effort for us is an honor for him!"

Han Bowwen also nodded repeatedly, "Exactly, no matter what, we will never allow you to tamper with the company’s money, or it will drag the whole family down!"

"When something happens, we should call the police, let the police handle it, right? If that loser really gets into trouble, it’s his bad luck!" Ding Lijuan was somewhat impatient.

Han Jingting looked at her parents in disbelief and finally said in a cold voice, "I know you’ve never looked up to Chen Xuan, but he is, after all, Xiao Yu’s dad, my husband, and I will definitely not let anything happen to him!"

Ding Lijuan was taken aback, "Then what do you want to do? Do you really want to tamper with the company’s money?"

Han Jingting’s expression was complex, and she remained silent.

She didn’t know what to do.

She only knew that no matter what, she absolutely couldn’t let anything happen to Chen Xuan!

Then, Han Jingting let Ding Lijuan and Han Bowwen get out of the car first to go to the hospital, and she began to contact everyone she could think of to raise money.

Using the company’s funds would affect not only her career but also went against her conscience, and she wouldn’t make such a choice unless it was absolutely necessary!

Han Jingting first called Meng Junchen.

Although she didn’t want to owe Meng Junchen too many favors, she couldn’t care about that at this moment.

On the other end of the phone, Meng Junchen saw that it was Han Jingting calling, and he knew it must be about Han Bowwen’s issue.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally pressed the answer key.

"Jingting, don’t panic, I’m on my way back now..." In fact, he had never left Huai City from start to finish.

"No, Jun Chen, I want to borrow some money from you..." Han Jingting then recounted the situation to him.

Meng Junchen sneered in his heart.

He would love it if Chen Xuan died at the hands of those kidnappers. This woman, still wanting to borrow money from him to save that loser, must have a screw loose in her head!

"Sorry, Jingting, I put all my money into the stock market last week, and I really don’t have much on hand right now..." Meng Junchen feigned a guilty demeanor.

"Okay, I’ll think of other ways." Han Jingting hung up the phone, disappointed.

Immediately afterward, Han Jingting made another call to other acquaintances.

She had made up her mind that today, even if it meant losing all her dignity, she had to borrow more money; only then might there be a chance to save Chen Xuan!

Meanwhile, in an underground room in Vegas.

Brother Yao looked at Chen Xuan with a smirk and mockingly said, "Damn, to have such an exquisite woman as a wife, you must have built up some good fortune in your past life, huh!"

"In my view, why not let your woman be with us for a few days? Then you guys won’t have to pay that twenty million, what do you think? After all, you, this worthless son-in-law, can only look but not touch that great beauty, right? Hahaha..."

Brother Yao’s words triggered a round of raucous laughter from his men.

Chen Xuan’s face darkened and a flash of murderous intent glittered in his eyes!
