Fake Rich Daughter Is A Scientist From The Future Novel - Chapter 72

Chapter 72: 500 Million

Huo Tian tried her best to remain calm, and her expression even relaxed a little. What she was certain of now was that the criminal who had barged into the Ding Family had not killed Ding Rong directly but was trying to use her as a bargaining chip to get something.

No matter what, in Huo Tian’s opinion, as long as Ding Rong’s life was not in danger, nothing else was important.

She asked calmly, “Who are you guys and what do you want?”

A malicious and hoarse male voice rang out from the phone. “Little girl, you’re very smart to be able to guess that the person who called isn’t your mother.”

“Cut the crap and tell me your motive!”

“Little girl, you’re really impatient at such a young age.”

The man laughed softly. “We brothers have all done something wrong. We won’t be able to survive if the police catch us. We’ve been hiding in the old district for several days and heard some stories about your family. Little girl, you used to be a rich young miss, right? Even if you’ve returned to your biological mother’s side now, your rich adoptive parents should have given you some money that you can rely on…”

Although it sounded like those people were only doing this for money, Huo Tian trusted her intuition more. She felt that things weren’t that simple.

However, with Ding Rong’s life at stake, Huo Tian did not probe deeper into the kidnappers’ true intentions.

Instead, she went along with their words and said, “How much money do you want? As long as you don’t harm my mother’s life, I’ll satisfy you.”

The kidnappers laughed.

Another person smiled and said, “Why is this woman so lucky? Her biological daughter had been a rich young miss for more than ten years and brought back money that her family would never be able to earn in their entire lives. However, her biological daughter is also stupid. She doesn’t hesitate to give up the money for her biological mother, whom she had only spent a few days with.”

Another voice sneered, “How do you know that this is luck and not something that she had planned long ago? In television dramas, don’t they have plots where some nannies deliberately swap their children with their masters’ so that their children can enjoy the best education and method of nurturing, while they order and abuse their children like slaves?”

“Isn’t it too vicious to be deliberately swapping the two children’s identities?”

The kidnappers seemed to have forgotten that they were calling to ask for the ransom. Instead, they were excitedly discussing what they thought the truth was.

It was just an irresponsible guess, but those people seemed to think that Ding Rong had switched her biological daughter to a wealthy family like the Huo Family.

A man slapped Ding Rong without hesitation and cursed, “F*ck, I hate selfish people like you the most. What’s the difference between you and a human trafficker?”

A voice laughed and said, “Human traffickers can’t earn so much from stealing a child. Hey, how much money did your precious daughter bring back from her adoptive parents? Tell us so that we can decide on your ransom.”

The people on Huo Tian’s side could hear a ripping sound through the loudspeakers, like the sound of tape being ripped off. Then, they heard Ding Rong gasp uncontrollably.

Ding Rong could speak now, but she didn’t follow the kidnapper’s request to reveal how much wealth Huo Tian had brought back from the Huo Family. Instead, she tried her best to yell into the phone, “Tiantian, hurry up and call the police! Don’t come back! Leave Mom be… Uh…”

“F*ck! You stinky b*tch!” A man cursed angrily.

Then, the sound of kicks and punches rang out on the other end of the line. Ding Rong seemed to be trying her best to hold in her cries of pain, but she still let out a few uncontrollable moans…

These sounds were like actual damage, striking at Huo Tian and Ding Chen’s hearts time and time again. Ding Chen tugged at Huo Tian’s arm in a daze. “Tiantian, we have to save your mother. We mustn’t let anything happen to her…”

“Don’t worry, Uncle. Mom will be fine.”

Huo Tian consoled Ding Chen softly, then spoke into the phone receiver coldly, “I can satisfy any of your requests and give you all the money I brought from the Huo Family. This is a total of 50 million yuan, enough for you guys to flee to anywhere you wish.”

“50 million?” There was a sharp gasp on the other end of the line. A man said, “Oh my god, this is 50 million. Big Brother, the big deal we did previously only gave us six million yuan.”

The man called ‘Big Brother’ was calmer, but Huo Tian could still tell that he was agitated from his accelerated speech.

“50 million? Little girl, you’re really good at joking. A great tycoon like your adoptive parents would be willing to pay tens of millions for a watch. Could they bear to give you only this little?”

Of course, Mr. and Mrs. Huo hadn’t given her 50 million yuan. They only gave her an IOU of 20 million yuan. Huo Tian knew that now wasn’t the time to test these kidnappers’ psychological states.

She asked directly, “How much do you want?”

The leader of the kidnappers asked for an exorbitant price. “I want 500 million. As long as you give me 500 million, I’ll let your mother go.”
