“So what if I am? If it weren’t for your parents’ vanity in marrying you to Gu Zhan, I’m afraid we would have been together a long time ago. That’s why I’ve never thought of letting them off for so many years.”
Su Luo’s tone was full of sarcasm. “It seems that my parents made the right choice not to marry me to you back then.”
Gu Zhan heard what Lin Tian said on the phone, and his face turned ashen. The veins on his hands bulged.
“You bastard. Let me tell you, if you hurt my children, I will definitely cut you into pieces.”
Gu Zhan didn’t want to listen to the negotiation between Su Luo and Lin Tian anymore.
At this moment, Gu Zhan felt as if there was a fire burning in his heart that made him feel uncomfortable. Gu Zhan snatched Su Luo’s phone and started to curse on the phone, “You pretentious bastard.”
“In order to take revenge on others, you even laid your hands on the children. No wonder Mr Su and Mrs. Su looked down on you back then.”
Lin Tian was not in a hurry so he continued to allow Gu Zhan to scold him. After Gu Zhan finished scolding him, Lin Tian slowly opened his mouth, “Gu Zhan, in my eyes, you are just a piece of trash. You used to be a piece of trash, but now you are even more of a piece of trash. What right do you have to say these words?”

Gu Zhan’s face turned ashen with anger. Seeing that Gu Zhan could no longer control his emotions, Su Luo snatched the phone from him and said to Lin Tian, “Alright, I promise you. I’ll pay you the ransom in three days.”
Lin Tian took a puff of his cigarette and threw it to the ground. Lin Tian said to Su Luo on the phone, “Alright, then I’ll wait for your good news.”
Su Luo hung up the phone and saw Gu Zhan squatting in a corner on the ground, holding his head and crying. Su Luo walked over to comfort Gu Zhan, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t find any words to say.
Gu Zhan looked at Su Luo with tears streaming down his face. He held Su Luo’s hand and said, “Am I really useless? I can’t even protect my own children. Now, my children have been taken away by someone else.”
Su Luo squatted down when she saw Gu Zhan’s uncomfortable look. She patted Gu Zhan’s back gently and whispered into his ear, “It’s okay. We will definitely think of a way to save Xiao Bei and Xixi.”
The atmosphere in the room was especially gloomy. It was raining heavily outside.
Half an hour later, the police called. Su Luo picked up the phone and heard the police say, “Miss Su, we’ve found your good friend. She’s locked up in the office’s secret room by Lin Tian.”
Su Luo heard from the police that they had successfully rescued Shen Ling. Her heart was finally relieved. She thanked the police for a long time. Then, she glanced at Gu Zhan and asked him to quickly follow her to the police station.
Gu Zhan collected his emotions and followed Su Luo to the police station.
By the time they reached the police station, the sky was already hazy and bright. Su Luo looked at Shen Ling, who had been curled up on a stool in the prosecutor’s office. Her arms and legs were covered with deep red marks, and Su Luo felt a little unsettled.
When Shen Ling saw Su Luo, she grabbed Su Luo and asked, “How are the two children? What did that bastard Lin Tian say?”
Su Luo glanced at Shen Ling who was covered in injuries. Her heart ached and she said apologetically, “The children are still in Lin Tian’s hands for the time being. You’ve suffered these past few days. It’s all my fault. If I didn’t ask you to investigate, you wouldn’t have been kidnapped by Lin Tian.”
Shen Ling held Su Luo’s hand tightly and said to Su Luo with a face full of hatred, “How can you be blamed for this? The fault clearly lies with that vicious person. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have become like this.”
Su Luo looked at Shen Ling. Her body was covered in injuries, so she decided to stay and accompany Shen Ling for a while. She asked Gu Zhan to quickly go to the police station to make a statement and then go through the procedures to bring Shen Ling to the hospital to have a look.
After the procedures were completed, Su Luo hurriedly brought Shen Ling to the hospital for a physical examination. The doctor said that she only had superficial injuries, so Su Luo was relieved.
Upon settling these matters, Su Luo called Mrs. Su at the first possible moment. After Mrs. Su understood the situation, she asked Su Luo to quickly go to her home.
