My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce-Chapter 1340: Now it’s all over!

Jiasen’s expression was calm, and his tone carried a maturity and steadiness uncharacteristic for a child his age, "Moreover, they obviously premeditated this. Even if I stayed at your house, they would find a way to drug me if they wanted to."

"The person who needs to be careful isn’t me, but you. You need to be more cautious yourself. They didn’t succeed this time, but who knows if there will be a next time? And next time, we may not run into such incompetent kidnappers."

Qiao Yin’s eyes reddened slightly as she listened to him worry about her instead of himself, "It’s all my fault. It was because of me that you were dragged into this. You shouldn’t have had to suffer this fright and endure this ordeal."

"It’s not your fault. Don’t blame yourself."

Jiasen turned to look at her and saw her small palm-sized face full of guilt and sorrow. He sighed softly, "Why blame yourself? Shouldn’t the kidnappers be the ones to blame? And besides, I wasn’t really in any trouble. I woke up inside the kidnappers’ car, but I wanted to see what they were up to, so I played dead and went along. I wasn’t really powerless to resist."

Qiao Yin said softly, "Next time something like this happens, don’t worry about what they’re up to. Just focus on escaping and saving yourself. There were two of them and only one of you. You were at a disadvantage no matter what."

"Okay, I get it."

Jiasen agreed with her, but he didn’t mention that he wasn’t afraid of being kidnapped now, that he knew his own strength. Saying that might only scare Qiao Yin.

They soon arrived home. Qiao Yin got out of the car and escorted Jiasen upstairs.

Qiao Yin had planned to go see Hou Jinhua after dropping him home but was surprised to hear Qiao Haidong’s astonished voice upon entering the door: "Jiasen, how come you’re back?!"

Qiao Yin became instantly vigilant, "Qiao Haidong, what’s that tone about? Why do you seem so unhappy about Jiasen coming back?"

Qiao Haidong frowned deeply at Qiao Yin, "Why are you with Jiasen? Shouldn’t you be at ..."

He almost said "at Gu Ranmo’s place" but caught himself at the last moment, sensing something amiss, and hastily swallowed his words.

Qiao Yin stepped forward, staring coldly at him, "Where should I be? Why can’t I be with Jiasen? Do you know something?"

"I mean... I thought you should be at home or at the hospital? It’s just strange for you to be with Jiasen at this time!"

"Is that all?"

Qiao Haidong retorted, "What else could it be?"

Qiao Yin couldn’t articulate her suspicions, but she had an instinctual feeling that Qiao Haidong was hiding something from her.

As they spoke, Qiao Haidong’s phone suddenly rang. Glancing at it, he saw an unknown number.

A sense of unease surged through him. Things were not unfolding as he had anticipated. Jiasen, the intended hostage, had returned early, and Qiao Yin had not gone to treat Gu Ranmo. Everything was spiraling out of control!

He dismissed the call without hesitation, not daring to answer. If the call was from Gu Ranmo’s people, wouldn’t that give everything away?

However, on the other end, the caller refused to give up and kept ringing persistently.

Qiao Yin’s suspicions intensified, "Why aren’t you answering your phone?"

Qiao Haidong, trying to maintain his composure, said, "It’s a spam call. No need to answer."

He initially intended to turn off his phone. After all, he had already received half the money from Gu Ranmo and figured he could forgo the other half if necessary. It wasn’t a loss for him regardless!

Unfortunately for him, Jiasen was also suspicious and, seizing a moment when Qiao Haidong was unguarded, snatched the phone and pressed the answer button, then the speakerphone.

A man’s voice came through the phone: "Qiao Haidong, what the hell is going on? Didn’t we agree this was all an act? Why did your son hit my brother? Why did he go straight to the police? Both my brothers are now in jail, Miss Gu Two didn’t get her treatment, and you’ve put me in a really tough spot, you know that?"

Qiao Haidong felt a darkness close in on him, knowing everything was ruined now!
