Three years of cold marriage without sleeping together, why are you crying after remarrying a powerf

Liang Yu sighed softly and replied:

"Miss Zhao, you don't understand Cao Lan's specific situation. She might not even spare me, so why would she suddenly have a change of heart and send over the antidote?"

A faint smile appeared on Zhao Wen's lips, then she fell silent and said nothing more.

Inside Liang An's villa.

Cao Lan was styling her freshly done hair at the dressing table with a smug look on her face.

She looked at her still-attractive self in the mirror and a sinister smile curled at the corner of her mouth.

Her informant, who was hiding around Liang An, told her that Liang An was dying and wouldn't live more than two months.

If Liang Yu voluntarily relinquishes her inheritance of Liang An's property when she visits Liang An this time, then all of Liang An's wealth will belong to her and her son.

She was finally going to get rid of that repulsive old man completely.

She was about to become the head of the Liang Group, holding immense wealth in her hands. As long as Liang An died, she could have any kind of man she wanted.

At that time, the first person she would have to deal with was Liang Yu.

That wretched girl, she seems to be unassuming and doesn't fight for anything, but in reality, she's already been colluding with those members of the Liang family.

Moreover, Liang Yu seems to have begun to suspect Liang Song's background.

Keeping Liang Yu around would be a disaster.

Liang Yu must be completely eliminated.

The phone on the dressing table suddenly vibrated.

An unfamiliar overseas number was flashing on the screen, with no indication of its origin.

Cao Lan frowned and impatiently swiped to answer the call.

Before she could speak, a rapid sound of waves came from the other end of the phone, mixed with the howling of a biting wind.

Just as Cao Lan was about to hang up the phone, she heard a heart-wrenching cry:

"Mom! Mom, save me! Save me!"

Her voice was choked with sobs, broken and intermittent, as if she were being dragged roughly.

"Mom, I'm on the boat... Please save me... They're going to throw me overboard! Mom, please save me!"

Cao Lan recognized the voice on the phone in an instant.

It was her son, Liang Song's voice.

Cao Lan's heart sank suddenly, and her breath stopped for a moment.

She gripped the phone tightly, her voice suddenly rising as she asked urgently:

"Is that Komatsu? Where are you? Who kidnapped you?"

Liang Song was still crying and begging for help on the other end of the phone when he was suddenly interrupted by a mechanical male voice.

The voice, processed by a voice changer, was mechanically hoarse and eerie:

"Ms. Cao, your son is in my hands now."

Cao Lan froze, a cold sweat breaking out on her back.

The voice had been processed so much that it was impossible to recognize the original voice or guess the other person's identity.

She tried to remain calm, but her hand gripping the phone trembled.

"Who exactly are you?! I'm warning you, Liang Song is my son, the future head of the Liang Group. If you dare lay a finger on him, I will make you pay a terrible price!"

The man chuckled softly; the voice, processed by a voice changer, gave off an eerie, chilling quality.

"cost?"

"Ms. Cao, do you have the right to talk to me about the consequences now?"

"Okay, I'll send you a video now so you can see what situation your son is in."

The call was abruptly disconnected, the busy tone echoing like a blow to Cao Lan's heart, sending chills down her spine.

She quickly called Liang Song.

The phone is switched off.

She started making calls like crazy again, calling a lot of people.

No one knows where Liang Song is now.

Until the butler came to report, saying:

"Madam, the young master instructed us before he left that he was going out to play for a few days. If you are looking for him, just tell him that he is going on a cruise ship for a few days and will be back in a few days. You don't need to rush to find him."

Cao Lanru was struck dumb, sitting frozen in front of the dressing table like a stone statue.

The Liang Song on the phone is very likely her beloved son; it's not a lie.

Not long after, a video was sent over.

Cao Lan tapped the video with trembling fingertips.

The video background is a dark sea, with the sea wind whipping up huge waves that crash against the ship's hull, making a thunderous sound.

Visibility at sea was extremely low, with only the searchlight at the bow casting a pale white beam that illuminated a small area on the deck.

Liang Song knelt in that small beam of light, his hands tied behind his back, his face streaked with tears, his hair disheveled, and his clothes tattered.

He was attached to an extremely thick iron chain, which seemed to be connected to the mast above, as if it could lift him up at any moment.

When Liang Song saw the camera, it was like seeing a lifeline; he struggled desperately and cried out:

"Mom, help me! I'll never gamble again!"

"Mom, I was wrong. I shouldn't have disobeyed you. I shouldn't have secretly gone on the cruise ship to gamble. Please save me!"

The camera slowly pans up, finally settling on a man.

The man sat in the shadows of the cabin, only his jawline was vaguely visible, his features were indistinct.

There was a walkie-talkie in front of him, and the voice was coming out through the voice changer inside the walkie-talkie.

The video was automatically deleted and disappeared as soon as it finished playing.

Cao Lan felt a chill run through her body, a coldness shooting from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

Her mind went blank for a moment, as if it had gone completely empty.

Liang Song said that going to gamble on a cruise ship matched what the butler had said.

Could it be because of gambling debts that he was tied up?

So, the person in the video really is her precious son!

Liang Song was probably set up by someone.

He was persuaded to gamble on the cruise ship.

Then Liang Song was tricked on the cruise ship and incurred huge gambling debts, which is why he was tied up.

It seems that Liang Song has probably already been taken to international waters.

Is the man in the video the one who set up and schemed against Liang Song?

That person treated Liang Song like that, probably for money.

The person acted discreetly, not even revealing their voice, clearly indicating they came prepared.

It's likely that Liang Song flaunted his wealth, attracting unwanted attention.

The phone vibrated again.

It was still an unfamiliar overseas number with no displayed location, but it wasn't the same number as before.

Cao Lan answered the phone; the voice, processed by a voice changer, came through the receiver clearly.

"Ms. Cao, do you see clearly? Your son is currently in international waters, in my hands. I can do whatever I want with him."

Cao Lan pleaded for peace in a trembling voice:

"What...what do you want? Does my son have gambling debts?"

"Please, have mercy and release my son! I'll give you anything you want—money, jewelry, shares—just name it and I'll give it to you!"

The man on the phone chuckled dismissively and said:

"Our boss doesn't need your little bit of money."

If it's not because of money, then what could it be?

Besides money, what else do she and Liang Song have that others would covet?

Cao Lan's sixth sense made her instantly realize that this matter was going to be troublesome.

Cao Lan was so anxious that tears streamed down her face. She gripped her phone tightly and replied in a pleading tone:

"Then what are you doing this for?"

"We have no grudge against each other, why are you making things difficult for a child? Please let him go, I will give you whatever you want."

Cao Lan only wants to save Liang Song now.

If Liang Song is gone, she might lose everything.

The Liang family would never hand over the Liang Group to her.

Only with Liang Song around can the Liang family keep quiet and refrain from making underhanded moves against her, allowing her to gradually and completely take control of the Liang Group.

The man on the phone slowly began to speak:

"Ms. Cao, think carefully. Have you done anything shameful or wicked recently?"

Cao Lan stared intently as she tried to recall.

What terrible things has she done recently?

She has done too many evil things in order to successfully obtain Liang An's property.

She didn't know which one it was.

Just as she was pondering this, Liang Song's howling voice came from the other end of the phone again:

"Mom! Save me! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"

"They hung me up! There are sharks around here! There are sharks!"

Cao Lan exclaimed in surprise:

"I'll do whatever you say. Tell me, what exactly do you want me to do?"

The eerie, mechanical voice on the phone rang again:

"It's simple. My boss wants the antidote you have. Give it to Miss Liang."

Cao Lan trembled and asked incredulously:

"You kidnapped my son, just to get Liang Yu? Just to get the antidote for Liang Yu?"

Cao Lan never expected that Liang Yu would have such a powerful and influential backer.

She was able to easily trick Liang Song onto the cruise ship right under her nose and even take him to international waters.

The boss who was able to make this happen must be someone with a very powerful background.

It's definitely not something that a simple first-generation entrepreneur or a second-generation rich kid can accomplish.

Cao Lan couldn't help but speculate.

Who exactly is the other party's boss?

Why would someone go so far as to harm Liang Song and become her mortal enemy for Liang Yu's sake?

The eerie, mechanical voice on the other end of the phone rang again:

"Yes, my boss wants you to use the antidote to save Liang Song's life."

"Are you going to change it or not?"

Cao Lan gritted her teeth and asked in a trembling voice:

"Who is your boss? How does he know about the antidote?"

The person on the other end of the phone chuckled and said:

"My boss not only knows that you poisoned Miss Liang's grandmother to threaten Miss Liang into giving up her inheritance rights, but he also knows that your son is not Liang An's child at all."

"Oh, by the way, Ms. Cao, my boss also has the DNA test comparison report of Liang An and Liang Song."

"So, Ms. Cao, you have two minutes. Are you going to use the antidote to save your son's life?"
