At the Xander residence, Yechielâs study was still brightly lit in the middle of the night. Nancy said coquettishly, âDad, can you help me this time? Just this time.â Yechiel was frustrated. âNancy, donât overdo it.â Nancy continued to play coquettish. âDad, this is the last time.â Yechiel became more frustrated. âIâve already invested in hundreds of clothing stores for you. You must know that such an overstock is disadvantageous to our Xander family.â
Nancy continued to say coquettishly, âDad, how can you be considered to have helped me by investing in those clothing stores? You have helped my young sister Jasmine by doing so!â âShe didnât make these requests. It has always been you who did so.â Yechiel was dissatisfied. âDad, this is the last time.
I definitely wonât trouble you again!â Nancy said. âNo!â Yechiel refused. âDad, if you donât agree, I can only resort to Second Uncle for help. I believe that he will help me anyway on account of me donating my bone marrow to him.â Nancyâs tone was threatening.
âYou!â Yechiel was furious. âSecond Uncle may not have gone to bed. Iâll go to him for help now,â Nancy said as she was ready to leave. âCome back!â Yechiel gritted his teeth. âThis is the last time. Thereâs no next time. Nancy Zeller, you know that the donation of bone marrow had nothing to do with you. Donât think youâre smart. If your second uncle hadnât been trapped by his feelings, his IQ would have crushed you a thousand times.â
âThank you, Dad. Donât worry. From now on, I wonât cause you any more trouble. I wonât mention the donation of bone marrow to Second Uncle again.â Nancy knew when to stop. Yechielâs face was somber. âGo to sleep. Iâll arrange it tomorrow morning.â âThank you, dad. Good night, dad. Her face lit up with joy at the success of her plan. The next day. Annalise and Julian left the Xander family after nine oâclock. The more Old Mr. Xander looked at Annalise, the more he liked her. He walked Annalise to the door and kept saying to her, âAnna, come back more frequently!â
âAll right, Grandpa.â Annalise smiled. She liked Old Mr. Xander, too. Not long after leaving the Xander residence, Annalise received a call from Chloe, who told Annalise that an incident had happened to the pharmaceutical company. âWhatâs the matter? Chloe, take you time, please.â Annalise comforted Chloe. Chloe was anxious. âThe incident is serious. Thereâs a problem with the quality of the medicines. People from the Drug Administration have also come over. They said that some people suffered necrotic nerves and bones after taking our medicines.â
âHas John known about it? We have to check the patientsâ condition immediately. Also, Chloe, why is there a problem with our medicines?â Annalise asked. Chloe said anxiously, âThere canât be a problem with our medicines, but the current situation is that the people from the Drug Administration have found something wrong with our medicines in our warehouse.â âChloe, donât worry. Iâll be right there!â
Annalise said. Julian immediately asked the driver to drive to Chloeâs company. Seeing that Annalise had hung up, he held her hand and asked, âWhat happened?â Annalise said, âIâm not sure about the situation. Letâs go over and take a look first.â âAll right,â Julian replied.
His phone rang suddenly. It was his grandpa calling, and he picked it up. No one spoke on the other end of the line. âGrandpa!â Julian shouted. Still, no one spoke. Then, the phone was hung up. Julian thought that Grandpa might have accidentally dialed his phone number. He urged the driver to drive faster. However, thinking that Annalise was pregnant, he immediately asked the driver to drive slower.
He held Annaliseâs hand and comforted her. âDonât worry, Iâll take care of it!â
âAll right,â Annalise replied. She said, âAll the medicines in our pharmaceutical company are under strict control. There canât be any problems with their quality. There might be a conspiracy here. We might have encountered vicious competition.â Julian nodded. âYes, doing business is like fighting a battle.
Some black sheep always donât participate in regular competition and secretly play dirty tricks. Donât worry. Weâll deal with the incident actively.â
âYesâ Annalise nodded. She wasnât worried about the pharmaceutical company. Instead, she was afraid that someone would be so wicked that he/she wanted to cause some people to die. Then, these people would be too innocent. Arriving at Caretech Pharmaceutical Comparty, they found seven to eight law enforcement cars parked at the entrance. Some reporters rushed over after hearing the news. Julian led Annalise inside.
His phone suddenly rang. It was Grandpa again. He immediately picked it up. âGrandpa, whatâs wrong?â Julian thought, âMaybe Grandpa dialed my phone number by mistake the first time, but how could he have done so a second time?â The phone was hung up again. Then, Julian received a message: [If you want him to live, bring a ransom of 7 million dollars in cash!] Julianâs heart skipped a beat. Grandpa was kidnapped? How could it possible? âWhatâs wrong?â Seeing that Julianâs expression was somber, Annalise asked.
âAnnalise, something troublesome has happened to Grandpa. I might have to deal with it. I get Henry to handle the incident hereâ Julian was afraid that Annalise would be distracted if she knew about the trouble with Grandpa. âAll right, go quickly.â Looking at Julianâs serious expression, Annalise knew what had happened was urgent and troublesome. âAre Second Grandpa Albert and Third Grandpa Christopher causing trouble again?â Julian was worried about Annalise. He said to her, âNeither work too hard nor be too emotional. Iâll ask Henry to come over immediately.â âDonât worry about me. I know what to do. Go quickly,â Annalise comforted Julian.
At the same time, she felt warm in her heart. Since they two got married, Julian had always been taking care of her sincerely. He knew very well that her master was Dariel and that she had high fighting skills and was good at talking, but he was always afraid that she would be bullied. This made Annalise feel warm. âOkay,â Julian replied, and then he quickly called Henry. He asked Henry to immediately come and help deal with the incident of the pharmaceutical company. Julian left the building of Caretech Pharmaceutical Company in a hurry.
Outside the building, he quickly made a call to the butler. âGilderoy, is Grandpa at home?â The butler was so anxious that he was about to cry on the phone. âMr. Parks, Old Mr. Parks went to the vegetable garden to look after vegetables after breakfast. He said that he wanted to fertilize them. âI thought that it would take him about an hour to do it. A longer time would make him tired. âIâve gone to the vegetable garden just now. Heâs gone. Iâve looked for him everywhere, but just couldnât find him. âI called him, but no one answered.
âI was just about to contact you. Oh, by the way, Chauffeur Chamberlain is gone, too. I canât get through to him on the phone. Thereâs a car missing from the garage.â Julianâs heart tightened again.
Grandpa had been kidnapped! His first reaction was that Chauffeur Chamberlain had ill intentions toward Grandpa. On second thought, he felt that it was impossible. Chauffeur Chamberlain was a dedicated driver who had been working for the family so many years. Moreover, only when Grandpa wanted to go out would Chauffeur Chamberlain drive the car.
Then, where would Grandpa go? Julianâs expression turned somber as he strode toward his car. He quickly took out his computer and entered the program mode. His fingers quickly typed on the keyboard. Soon, he hacked into Grandpaâs phone and found the most recent call records. Grandpa received a call from an unknown phone number forty minutes ago. This phone number belonged overseas. Julian immediately checked Grandpalâs movement track, too. Grandpalâs cell phoneâs movement track showedâ¦
