Yesterday.
Nan Baixuan had just said she had thought of a good way to help the Nan family secure 100 million yuan in startup capital.
Today, she was kidnapped.
Nan Baishan then came to tell them to pack their things and prepare to leave Shanhai City.
Combining this information, Nan Xiuming was very sure that his granddaughter's idea was to kidnap herself and then demand ransom from Qin Xue.
Tianfan Pharmaceuticals, supported by the Nine Revolutions Spirit Returning Pill, found it a trivial matter to come up with 100 million yuan.
Moreover, given Qin Xue's concern for her daughter, she would hand over 100 million yuan, or even 1 billion, without hesitation.
Facing his grandfather's stern gaze, Nan Baishan knew the matter could not be concealed any longer. He nodded and said, "Yes!"
"However, this was not my idea, but Xuanxuan's own!"
"I told her it was not appropriate to do so, but she said it was fine."
This matter, while significant, could also be seen as minor. Nan Baishan dared not claim it as his own idea, pushing all responsibility onto Nan Baixuan, the person involved.
"You..."
Nan Xiuming glared at his grandson, almost choking to death from anger.
He truly did not expect his granddaughter to come up with such a terrible idea.
Nan Ziyun walked over, took a deep breath, and exhaled, saying, "Dad, the matter is settled. Although Xuanxuan's method isn't the best, it's still a method."
"However, this needs to be done perfectly."
"Otherwise, if that person finds out, many things could become difficult to manage!"
At this point, the kidnapping had already happened. Even though Nan Ziyun knew it was highly inappropriate, he was helpless.
Being kidnapped by one's own people was better than being kidnapped by others.
Kidnapping oneself at least meant there was no need to worry about safety.
What he worried about was Chu Fan, who stood behind Qin Xue.
If they angered him, the Nan family, though having nothing left to lose but their lives, would still suffer unimaginable suppression.
Furthermore, if this incident got out, the Nan family's reputation would be ruined, and they would have to change their names.
Nan Xiuming took two minutes to calm down. During this time, Nan Baishan kept saying that he had advised Nan Baixuan against it, stating it was inappropriate.
However, Nan Baixuan was insistent, saying that if he didn't cooperate, she would find someone outside to do it.
Nan Xiuming knew that the matter had already happened and there was no room for reversal.
He also knew that the truth absolutely could not be revealed to Qin Xue and Chu Fan. He immediately instructed, "Hurry and contact the people you found. Tell them not to harm Xuanxuan under any circumstances."
"At the same time, you must handle all aspects of the matter properly."
Nan Baishan nodded and took out his phone to contact them.
"Hmm?"
Seeing that the call went through but no one answered, Nan Baishan frowned slightly, hung up, and called again.
After calling three times with no answer, Nan Baishan could only say with a smile, "They might be busy. I'll inform them to be careful when they call back."
At Tianfan Pharmaceuticals, Qin Xue and Nan Zi'an paced anxiously in the office.
Chu Fan had already said many comforting words, but they had no effect, so he said no more.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Nan Baishan still hadn't received a call back, and his heart began to feel anxious. He kept calling, but still no answer.
With each call, his heart sank a little further.
"Please, nothing must happen!"
To understand the specific situation, Nan Baishan immediately set off for the agreed-upon location, preparing to risk going to the scene to see.
Ring, ring...
During the agonizing wait, Chu Fan's phone finally rang.
"Young Master, I've found something!"
"However..."
Ji Ningyue hesitated.
Chu Fan's brows furrowed, and he retorted, "However, what?"
"Young Master, things have become a bit complicated..."
Seeing his aunt staring at him, Chu Fan stood up and walked to the window, quietly listening to Ji Ningyue describe the situation she had investigated.
Upon learning that the kidnapping was orchestrated by Nan Baixuan herself, Chu Fan felt a surge of unprovoked anger.
As a spoiled young lady, it was understandable to be willful and prone to making trouble.
But to be so reckless and make a fuss about such a matter was going too far.
At this moment, if Nan Baixuan were standing in front of him, Chu Fan wouldn't mind slapping her a few times to teach her a lesson.
She thought it was fun, but had she considered how worried and anxious her aunt would be?
As soon as Chu Fan hung up the phone, Qin Xue leaned over and asked anxiously, "Xiao Fan, is there any news?"
"There is news!"
"But Auntie, you don't need to worry, Xuanxuan should be fine now!"
Hearing that there was finally news, and that her daughter was unharmed, Qin Xue finally felt relieved.
Nan Zi'an also leaned in and asked, "Xiao Fan, do you know where Xuanxuan is now?"
Chu Fan nodded, then said, "Auntie, the truth of the matter is rather unbelievable. You probably won't believe it if I tell you."
The couple exchanged glances, their expressions filled with confusion.
They didn't understand what truth would make them disbelieve.
Just as Qin Xue was about to ask, Chu Fan said, "Auntie, according to the investigation, your cousin's kidnapping this time was entirely orchestrated by herself."
What?
Just as Chu Fan had expected, his aunt clearly did not believe the truth.
Nan Zi'an remained relatively calm and then retorted, "Xiao Fan, where did you get this information?"
"We also took care of Xuanxuan quite a lot. Why would she kidnap herself?"
The couple found it hard to comprehend the purpose of their daughter's actions.
"Auntie, what I'm saying is the truth!"
"Because I used my connections to access Xuanxuan's recent call records and chat logs!"
"Her sudden kidnapping was indeed self-orchestrated!"
"The person who cooperated with her was her cousin, Nan Baishan!"
The matter involved the Nan family, and Nan Zi'an found it difficult to accept. He waved his hand and reprimanded, "Nonsense!"
It was unclear whether these two words were directed at Chu Fan, or at Nan Baixuan and Nan Baishan.
Qin Xue's expression turned very grim, but she still managed to maintain her composure and asked, "Xiao Fan, do you know why Xuanxuan did this?"
"I know!"
"But I don't know if you'll believe me if I tell you!"
Chu Fan was very hesitant.
He knew that his aunt would definitely understand the truth, but he wasn't sure if Nan Zi'an would.
After all, he was still a member of the Nan family and found it hard to believe that his family would resort to such methods to make money.
"Tell me!"
At this point, the situation was already set, and Qin Xue knew that she had to believe it, whether she wanted to or not.
"Xuanxuan planned to help the Nan family make a comeback, so she orchestrated her own kidnapping, intending to demand a ransom of 100 million yuan to help the Nan family develop elsewhere."
"Impossible!"
Nan Zi'an's expression was ugly as he waved his hand. Just as Chu Fan had predicted, he simply did not believe that the Nan family would do such a thing.
Qin Xue looked at her husband and said, "Zi'an, nothing is impossible!"
"Recently, Xuanxuan has been asking me for money quite often. I know she's been taking all of it to the Nan family."
Nan Zi'an was provoked and gasped for breath, but he did not respond to Qin Xue's inquiry.
He knew about this matter.
"Let's wait. My people are already looking for her. Once they find her, everything will be clear!"
Chu Fan sat down on the sofa.
Time passed slowly.
About ten minutes later, the phone rang again. Chu Fan saw it was Ji Ningyue calling and said with a smile, "We have results!"
However, less than ten seconds after answering the phone.
Chu Fan exclaimed, "What did you say?"
