KEIGHTY: Special thanks to Banananim for the ko-fis! ٩(๛ ˘ ³˘)۶♥ (Extra Chapter 3/5)
When Qiao Mudong received the call, he had already started driving around looking for He Yu.
After He Yu told him about the photos in the afternoon, he called He Yu again, but the phone was hung up directly. After that, he tried to call He Yu several times, but his phone kept shutting down.
Qiao Mudong was a little confused. The only thing he could think of was that He Yu was probably angry.
But he and He Yu had known each other for so long, and he had never seen He Yu lose his temper like this. Turning off the phone without saying a word, and then suddenly, he couldn’t be found anywhere. For this reason, Qiao Mudong asked Li Tang and Ma Tian, but no one knew where He Yu had gone.
Qiao Mudong was driving aimlessly in the city, looking for him. Suddenly, he started to get angry. He didn’t know whether he was angry at He Yu or angry at Ling Qiang. At this moment, Brother Jiang took He Yu’s phone and called Qiao Mudong’s cell phone.
When Qiao Mudong saw He Yu’s name on the caller ID, he got a little annoyed. He answered the phone and shouted, “Where have you been?! Did you know how long I’ve been looking for you?!”
Brother Jiang’s tone was quite calm as he said, “Excuse me, is this Mr. Qiao Mudong?”
When Qiao Mudong heard that the voice was not He Yu’s, he immediately felt that something was wrong. He slowed down the car and asked back, “Who are you? Where’s He Yu?”
Brother Jiang laughed twice. “It seems that you’re really a friend of He Yu. That’s right. Your friend He Yu and his father are here with us now. His father owes me five hundred thousand and said that his son can help him pay it back. But now, his son doesn’t have any money, so he asked me to find his friends to ask for help.”
“His father?” Qiao Mudong asked.
Brother Jiang replied, “Yes, does your friend He Yu have a father named He Wutong who owed money and refused to pay it back? If so, then that’s right. Both father and son are here now. If you want to take them back, come here with half a million in cash; otherwise, it’s useless for the father and son to stay here anymore, right? I’ll just deal with them however I want.”
Qiao Mudong asked coldly, “Where are they?”
Brother Jiang said, “Don’t worry, since you can’t have 500,000 in cash right now, you can go get the money first, and then we can talk about it.”
Qiao Mudong said, “It’s only five hundred thousand, you’d better not play any tricks with me. If something happens to He Yu, let alone five hundred thousand, even if I have to take five million, I will still kill you! Think it over one more time and see if it’s not worth it!”
After saying that, Qiao Mudong hung up the phone, threw it forward in anger, and then picked it back up to see if it was broken. He still had to rely on this phone to contact people.
After hearing Qiao Mudong’s last harsh words, Brother Jiang suddenly felt a little uneasy. At the same time, he firmly believed that these two friends of He Yu were indeed rich people. If he had known that, he should have asked for more.
He threw the phone to the people around him and walked up to He Yu. He pinched his face, looked at the large bruises on his cheeks, and asked, “Who hit him?”
The young people looked at each other, not knowing what was going on and not daring to answer the question.
Brother Jiang continued, “Look at how injured this handsome face is. Go buy some liquid medicine and apply it to his face.”
After saying that, he patted He Yu’s chest again. “You’re not hurt, are you?”
He Yu was unwilling to pay attention to him.
Brother Jiang was not angry either. He waved his hand and said, “Find a room and let them rest for a while. They’re not allowed to do anything again.”
After taking He Yu and He Wutong away, Brother Jiang took a chair and sat down, his head full of thoughts.
“Brother Jiang,” a younger brother asked him, “how is it going?”
Brother Jiang answered, “I’m thinking about how to get people to receive the money appropriately.”

The young man said, “We can just ask someone to get the money somewhere else, and then we will release them after we get it.”

Qiao Mudong was unwilling to ask Ling Qiang for it, so he could only ask Li Tang if he had some.
Li Tang asked him, “How much do you want?”
Qiao Mudong answered, “Three hundred thousand.”
Li Tang was silent for a moment. “I’ll help you with that.”
When Li Tang delivered the money to Qiao Mudong, Cao Xia and Wei Rongxi had already arrived with two other brothers. They’re planning to follow Qiao Mudong in another car.
Li Tang asked, “What happened?”
Qiao Mudong simply shook his head, took out his mobile phone, and dialed He Yu’s number. Brother Jiang still answered the phone and said to Qiao Mudong, “Do you have the money already? Now drive to Wuyun. Once you get off the highway, I will tell you how to get there.”
Wuyun was a city to the north of Chongfeng City. It was slightly smaller than Chongfeng City and was also a prefecture-level city in the same province.
Qiao Mudong demanded, “Let He Yu answer the phone.”
Brother Jiang said, “We just want our money back. No one’s life will be hurt, don’t worry.”
Qiao Mudong said in a non-negotiable tone, “Tell him to answer the phone.”
Brother Jiang hesitated for a moment and said, “Okay.” Then he told the people around him, “Bring them here.”
He Yu was taken out of the room, and the phone was handed to him. He said calmly, “Qiao Mudong?”
Qiao Mudong felt a little relieved when he heard that his tone was still normal. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine,” He Yu said. “You don’t need to bring the money. That person is not my dad. I don’t need to help him pay back the money.”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone next to him snatched his cell phone away. “Shut up, you’re talking nonsense!”
Brother Jiang took the phone over and said, “Okay, stop talking nonsense. Paying back debts is a matter of course. We don’t care whether his son recognizes him or not. It’s up to you whether you’re still willing to help your friend. Anyway, it’s very simple. Just pay back the money and we’ll let him go!”
Qiao Mudong said, “I understand. I’m going to Wuyun now. Don’t mess around and just do what you said.”
After hanging up the phone, Li Tang asked him, “What happened to He Yu?”
Qiao Mudong replied, “He was kidnapped. His father owed money to someone.”
“His father?” Li Tang was surprised. “I never heard him mention it.”
Qiao Mudong shook his head. “I don’t know if it’s true or not. Besides, I need to come over to the enemy’s side and see him myself.”
Even though He Yu had never mentioned that he had a father, it didn’t really mean that he didn’t have one either. Just like Qiao Mudong, he never admitted that he had a father either.
Qiao Mudong and Li Tang both grew up in society. To them, repaying debts was indeed a matter of course. Even if it was a loan shark, compound interest was there to trick you. If you insist on borrowing it yourself, then you have to pay it back yourself. They didn’t want to meet with him in person, and he couldn’t ask clearly on the phone. Qiao Mudong didn’t know what was going on, so he wanted to go see it for himself. If it was really He Yu’s father who owed money to someone, he wouldn’t mind paying it back for him. But kidnapping and extortion was another matter. He would not pay them if he was the one who was inexplicably taken advantage of.
Li Tang offered, “I’ll go with you.”
Qiao Mudong refused, “I can pay back the money to you tomorrow. I just need to take my two brothers with me to do this. I will only cause trouble to you again, Brother Li.”
Li Tang patted his arm and said, “What do you mean? You don’t need to hurriedly pay back the money. You can just give it to me whenever it’s convenient for you. Just take care of yourself and come to me anytime if you need help.”
Qiao Mudong nodded and got in the car.
Li Tang stood there and watched Qiao Mudong drive away. Young people, after all, had some pride and persistence in themselves. He could understand it and wouldn’t force it anymore.
Qiao Mudong and his party were in two cars. He asked Cao Xia and the others to follow, but not to follow too closely. He had just gotten on the highway when he saw a white BMW in front of him at the entrance. The license plate looked familiar. Without thinking, Qiao Mudong stepped on the accelerator and pulled the car over, keeping the BMW parked in the emergency lane.
Qiao Mudong parked the car in front of the BMW, opened the door, and got out. He walked to the BMW car, looked at the driver’s seat from the window with his head buried, and sure enough, he saw Fu Chenshan sitting inside.
Fu Chenshan also opened the door and got out of the car. When he saw Qiao Mudong, he suddenly felt uncomfortable. He thought of how He Yu looked for him at this time, but it turned out that he had also called Qiao Mudong.
Qiao Mudong looked at Fu Chenshan coldly. “Why are you here?”
Fu Chenshan had no intention of beating around the bush with him. “Xiao Yu called me. Something happened to his father.”
“He Yu called you?” Qiao Mudong asked in a serious tone.
The call was not from He Yu, but the other party knew about their relationship and chose to call him. Fu Chenshan believed that at least He Yu had said that he was someone he could seek help from.
Fu Chenshan didn’t have that much cash at home, so he couldn’t ask the bank to open the door to withdraw money. He borrowed public funds from the director of the company’s financial department and wrote an IOU.
When withdrawing the money, the supervisor said that there was no need to write an IOU and added, “You are a member of the Ling family. It’s your own family’s money—” Before he finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing and did not continue to talk.
In the eyes of outsiders, Fu Chenshan could be regarded as marrying into the Ling family, but in this era, there was no such thing. Fu Chenshan himself would definitely not be happy to hear others say that.
At this time, Fu Chenshan could only smile, write out the IOU, and hand it over. “Sorry for troubling you this late.”
In fact, Fu Chenshan considered calling the police but later gave up because he had the same idea as Qiao Mudong. If it was really He Yu’s father who owed the money, he should really pay it back for him; otherwise, it would be troublesome in the future. If it was still there, maybe someone would harass He Yu next time. Moreover, he had to pay back the money he owed to He Yu back then. He knew that it was far from enough, but he could only pay back as much as he could slowly.
Compared with He Yu recalling him now, he would rather He Yu never know about this, so he himself wouldn’t need to be this worried.
But at this time, Qiao Mudong suddenly said, “It’s impossible for He Yu to ask for your help.”
He was very sure that He Yu was not even willing to agree to bring the money. How could he ask Fu Chenshan to help his father pay back the money?
“We won’t talk about this at this time,” Fu Chenshan said. “I suggest you should rush to Wuyun first.”
Of course, Qiao Mudong knew that now was not the time to talk nonsense with Fu Chenshan. But apart from the fact that Fu Chenshan also received a call and rushed to rescue He Yu—which made him very angry—what made him even more angry was that the other party kept on saying that He Yu’s father owed him 500,000 yuan, but he called two people at the same time, and the total amount was already 1 million. This was simply blackmail without credibility.
Qiao Mudong turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly, he turned around and knocked on the roof of Fu Chenshan’s car. “Who else did he call? Did he also ask you for five hundred thousand?”
Fu Chenshan also understood what he meant and said in a deep voice, “I’ll call the police.”
Qiao Mudong stopped him. “Don’t call the police. Go over and see what tricks he’s playing at.” After that, he pointed at Fu Chenshan and said, “I’ll tell you one last time; He Yu won’t ask you for help. I’ll go to Wuyun’s side, so you’d better go back now. By the way, aren’t you just married today? I forgot to tell you—happy newlyweds, may you live a long and happy life together.”
After saying that, Qiao Mudong turned around and returned to his car.
Cao Xia and his car were following behind. Seeing Fu Chenshan standing still, he asked Qiao Mudong, “Brother Dong, what should we do with him?”
Qiao Mudong said, “Ignore him. Let’s go.”
Fu Chenshan stood there, leaning weakly against the car door. It wasn’t for anything else, but Qiao Mudong’s last words, “May you live a long and happy life together.” These four words were also written on the red envelope He Yu gave him that he kept in his shirt pocket at that time. Although he had changed out of the suit, before he could change his shirt, the heavy red envelope was still there, lying close to his chest through a thin layer of fabric, now tainted with his body temperature.
After a brief daze, he got in the car and continued to drive forward. No matter what, he wanted to ensure He Yu’s safety.
After getting on the expressway, there were no obstacles along the way. Qiao Mudong drove a luxury car, so the speed was very fast. It only took more than two hours when they got off the expressway in Wuyun.
Qiao Mudong slowed down the car and called He Yu’s cell phone.
It was Brother Jiang who still answered the phone. When he heard Qiao Mudong say that he had arrived in Wuyun, he instructed, “Okay, drive your car in the direction of Gushan County. There’s a farm stay called Honghu Villa outside the city. I’ll have someone pick you up there.”
Qiao Mudong asked, “Is He Yu there?”
Brother Jiang said, “What are you afraid of? If we take the money, we will definitely release that person. If I kill someone, I still have to bury their body. Isn’t that just looking for something for me to do?!”
Qiao Mudong said, “The money is worth every penny to me. I have two requirements. First, I want to see He Yu first; second, I want to make sure that it is his biological father who owes you the money. As long as it is confirmed, I will guarantee to give it to you when the time comes. I’m not asking too much in handing you the money, right?”
Brother Jiang seemed to hesitate and then asked, “Are you alone?”
Qiao Mudong replied, “I’m alone.”
Brother Jiang said, “Okay, then you go to Honghu Villa first, and then I will bring someone over for you to meet, okay?”
Qiao Mudong responded, “Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, he called Cao Xia, “You guys stay away. I will go to Gushan County later. There should be a Honghu Villa on the roadside. After I go in, you guys can find a place to stay nearby. Be smart and act wisely.”
After that, Qiao Mudong saw Fu Chenshan’s car from the car window, following him and eventually slowing down. He hesitated first before he finally called Fu Chenshan. He told Fu Chenshan the time and place of the appointment, and then said, “They are clearly trying to cheat us with our money. Just ask them where they want you to go. Don’t go if the situation is not right, and don’t come to stir up trouble for me.”
Fu Chenshan replied, “I understand.”
Then Fu Chenshan also dialed He Yu’s cell phone. Brother Jiang told him another address. He didn’t know that Fu Chenshan and Qiao Mudong had already met.
Fu Chenshan said directly, “I want to see He Yu.”
Brother Jiang answered, “He Yu is here. He’s with me.”
Fu Chenshan responded, “I don’t trust you. I came here alone. What would I do if you took the money and left without letting him go?”
Brother Jiang suddenly felt like he was having a headache as he was thinking about what to do next. For him, the best way was, of course, to get the money from both sides. He had never had the idea of killing people. This time, he asked someone to bring He Wutong back to him. He originally had no hope. He knew that He Wutong was a rogue and would not have money. He just didn’t want to let him go easily, but he didn’t think that his men had brought his son along with him and that this son was obviously a valuable person, so he couldn’t help but think that something was wrong with the situation right now.
But these two people were obviously not easy to fool, especially Fu Chenshan, who came alone. So he became more cautious.
Brother Jiang asked, “Should I ask He Yu to answer the phone?”
Fu Chenshan said, “I know you will just make He Yu tell me where you are. What did you call it just now? Ming Yuan Le? Is it a farmyard with a sign? Then I will make it very simple for you. You just have to take a photo of He Yu at the place together with the sign. Send it to me and I’ll go over there as soon as I determine that it’s true.”
Brother Jiang cursed, “Fuck!” and then changed his words, “I’ll send you the photo. You don’t have to go to Ming Yuan Le by yourself. Take Wuqing Road, report your license plate, and drive slowly. I’ll have someone pick you up halfway.”
Fu Chenshan asked again, “Where is He Yu?”
Brother Jiang said, “I’ll take him to the gate to take pictures. You’ll know if it’s true when you’re finally here.” After hanging up the phone, Brother Jiang cursed angrily, “So troublesome!”
After the call ended, Fu Chenshan pressed the phone while driving. After finding Qiao Mudong’s phone number, he suddenly hesitated. He raised his head and looked at the road ahead. Without dialing the number, he put the phone back in his pocket.
This ego maniac, bastard Fu, yet again wants to be the hero but in fact he’s a villain. Ruined He Yu’s life but is stil obsessed with him and won’t let him go.
let he yu go you selfish bastard 😒
Once again we’re witnessing what a big d*ck fu chenshan is. His obsessiveness with he yu is downright sickening at this point. Hopefully he was given the wrong place 😤
If something happened to He Yu because of Fu Chenshan’s stupidity I’m going to kill this idiot 😡🔪 Or hopefully Qiao Mudong will do it
