Chapter 430: Don’t Abandon Me For Money
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Jiang Jingchen pointed at one of the lines he drew with his pen and looked at Song Zhou.
“Ma Baomu was beaten up at the Ruan residence. He complained to his parents and the Ma family retaliated and Ruan Hao’s company was threatened. Ruan Hao has every motive to kidnap Ma Baomu as revenge.”
Song Zhou nodded in understanding and immediately asked Ji Er to do it.
Jiang Jingchen looked at the diagram he drew. He held his chin, chuckled, and added another stroke.
He said to Song Zhou, “Not only will we get the Ma family to act, but we’ll also deal with Ruan Xue and Ruan Hao by acquiring Ruan Hao’s company. What do you think?”
Song Zhou smiled and nodded. “I think it’s excellent!”
Jiang Jingchen added another stroke to his drawing and said, “Hasn’t Ma Baomu joined his family business? The Ma family supplies raw materials to a subsidiary of Jiang Corporation. Go and ask the procurement staff at Jiang Corporation if they have any insider information.”
“The story would be more believable if the only young master of the Ma family released the information.”
Song Zhou noted that and said the final words, “At least we are making good use of the useless Ma Baomu.”
Jiang Jingchen could draw a few more strokes but he was too lazy to do it.
Designing schemes was like solving a mathematical problem. There were many ways to solve a mathematical problem, and it depended on the intelligence of the problem solver.
And Young Master Jiang was very talented in mathematics. Even though he dropped out of school at the age of 17 and studied on his own, he was very proficient.
Ruan Hao was on his way to the police station with Ruan Xue when he received a call from Ma Baomu’s father, Ma Zhang.
Ma Zhang asked him to bring his family to the Ma residence for a chat.
Ruan Hao was pleasantly surprised at the possible turning point.
If he could reach a deal with Ma Zhang, he wouldn’t need Ruan Qi and suffer the humiliation that came with asking for her help! 𝒇𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
He immediately asked the driver to take them to the Ma residence.
The Ma family lived in a villa. They had quite a history in capital city. They were a wealthy family, but things got worse with every generation. The family wealth had dwindled quite a bit when Ma Zhang took over the family business.
Ruan Hao walked into the villa and sensed the tense atmosphere in the living room. Mrs. Ma’s eyes were also red, like she had been crying.
“Mr. Ma, my wife failed to appreciate your kindness and messed up this time. Don’t worry, we will definitely help Young Master Ma find a wife he likes.”
Ruan Hao bowed slightly and was very respectful. He didn’t have any of the arrogance and anger he had in front of Ruan Xue.
Ma Zhang didn’t waste time talking to him and threw him a contract.
“For everyone’s sake, sign it.”
“What’s this?”
Ruan Hao picked up the document curiously and looked at it. His eyes widened in surprise.
It was an acquisition agreement to buy his company!
“Mr. Ma, what does this mean? You want to buy my company? You’re too much!”
If Ruan Hao’s company was acquired by the Ma family, he would become and employee and wouldn’t earn as much money as before.
Ma Zhang’s tone was very unpleasant as he said, “You can’t blame me for this. If you need to blame someone, blame yourself for your bad luck, for offending the wrong people. If you don’t sign this agreement, I’ll bankrupt your company. Not only will you have nothing then, but you will also be burdened with huge debts and will never be at peace!”
“Mr. Ma, what nonsense are you talking about? When have I offended anyone? You are just using a random excuse to buy my company!”
“Oh? You should know very well who you’ve offended. I’m offering you a good price. You won’t lose out!”
Ruan Hao was unwilling. Although the business he had worked so hard to build wasn’t big, it wasn’t small either. He couldn’t just give it up like that.
“Mr. Ma, I’m not signing this agreement. It’s okay if we can’t be business partners.”
He would just earn less if the collaboration with the Ma family fell through. He could always find other collaborators.
Ma Zhang’s eyes turned red as he cursed, “My son has been kidnapped. The kidnappers told my son to tell me that they don’t like you, Ruan Hao. The kidnappers didn’t want money but to buy your company.”
“Ruan Hao, for the sake of my son’s life, you’d better cooperate.”
“If anything happens to my son, I’ll tear apart your lousy company!”
“This, this is unfair. Your son has been kidnapped. Why should I pay with my company?” Ruan Hao said indignantly.
Ma Zhang waved his hand to summon the four bodyguards on standby so they’d grab Ruan Yi.
“Ruan Hao, if you let my son get hurt, I’ll also make sure you have no descendants!”
“Dad, Dad, save me!”
Ruan Xue watched as the bodyguards grabbed her son and pulled Ruan Hao worriedly and begged, “Hubby, for the sake of our son, please sign it.”
Ruan Hao flung her hand away. He had absolutely no respect for Ruan Xue and wished that he could kick her again.
“Idiot, do you know the consequences if I sign it?”
A bodyguard took out a stun baton and placed it on Ruan Yi’s back.
Ruan Yi was so scared that he immediately screamed, “Dad, Dad, save me. Save me. You can’t give up my life for money. Your money will still be given to me someday. If I die, what’s the point of having so much money?”
Ruan Hao glared at Ma Zhang. “Mr. Ma, kidnapping is illegal!”
Ma Zhang retorted, “What kidnapping? You came here willingly. I’m just making a deal with you. You want to protect your son and so do I. What wrong have I done?” freewebnove(l).com
At this moment, the bodyguard deployed the stun baton. Millions of volts of electricity was deployed to Ruan Yi and his entire body shook, including his face and every muscle on his body.
“Dad, Dad, pain!” He wanted to cry but his mouth was covered.
Ruan Hao couldn’t take it anymore. The Ma family loved Ma Baomu dearly, so why wouldn’t he love his own son?
The Ma family was quite powerful, and it was his family who walked themselves into the tiger’s den.
Even if Ma Zhang killed his son, the only people who would be punished would be the bodyguards who did it. The Ma family just need to take out some money to appease the bodyguards, and the matter would be over.
But he would have lost his son!
Did he want his son now or the shares of his company?
Ruan Xue said in tears, “Hubby, this is your son. If we sold the shares, we have money to start another company, but we only have one son. You held his boy in your arms when he was born. His first word was Dad.”
Ruan Yi continued to shout, “Dad, Dad, save me. Don’t abandon me for money.”
Ruan Hao couldn’t take it anymore, so he picked up the document and signed it.
Ma Zhang looked at Ruan Hao’s signature and signed his name too. He nodded in satisfaction and handed the check to Ruan Hao.
100% of Ruan Hao’s company’s shares were worth 80 million yuan.
Ma Zhang’s bodyguards released Ruan Yi and Ruan Xue quickly went over to hug her son. Her heart ached when she saw her son lean weakly into her arms.
“Xiaoyi, don’t be afraid. Mom will take you home!”
Ruan Hao took the check and said through gritted teeth, “Mr. Ma, I will remember what you did today. I will pay you back double when I get a chance in future!”
Ma Zhang replied disdainfully, “You? An incompetent bungler?”
“If you haven’t screwed up, why would the kidnappers take my son? I still have to settle the score with your daughter when I get my son back!”
Ruan Hao snorted coldly. He didn’t want to talk to Ma Zhang anymore. He helped his son up and the three of them left.
Ma Zhang looked at the signed agreement and stared at the phone on the table.
The kidnappers told him that if he didn’t acquire Ruan Hao’s company within three hours, they would courier his son’s head to him.
Although Ma Zhang didn’t know why the kidnappers were so arrogant, he figured that they must have done their homework since they dared to kidnap his son.
Ma Baomu was his only son. He absolutely wouldn’t let anyone hurt him even if he had to spend a little money.
Suddenly, the phone on the table rang.
It was a call from Ma Baomu’s number.
The kidnappers used Ma Baomu’s phone to call him.
A few men came out of the guest room at this moment. They were all hired by Ma Zhang at a high price to track down the kidnappers and rescue his son.
A tall man said to him, “Answer it.”
Ma Zhang nodded. He picked up the phone with trembling hands and answered the call.
It was Ma Baomu’s voice crying and shouting, “Dad, Dad, I know who kidnapped me.. It was Ruan Hao!”
