Thorne closed the news page on his computer and banged the table hard, venting his anger and worry.
Thorne is not a fool, on the contrary, he is a very, very smart man.
When others watch the news, they can only see a joke, and after reading it, they just laugh, unable to see the hidden information in the news.
But Thorne clearly received two important pieces of news. First, An Tingnuan was missing. Second, Ye Lishu was imprisoned in a mental hospital.
He knew very well that Ye Lancheng was conveying news to him in this way, and he also knew the purpose of Ye Lancheng's doing so.
He must admit that Ye Lancheng was more skilled. He kidnapped An Tingnuan and sent Ye Lishu to a mental hospital. If he could not escape, An Tingnuan and Ye Lishu would be killed quietly, and no one would suspect them.
When it comes to Ye Lancheng, perhaps no one will pay attention to whether the mother and daughter are alive or dead.
This feeling of being forced out was really terrible and seriously affected his next plan.
But there was no other way. He had no second choice. He could ignore Ye Lishu's life or death, but he couldn't ignore An Tingnuan.
An Tingnuan was captured by Ye Lancheng's people, and it is not yet known whether he suffered.
Thorne was anxious, but he didn't walk up to Ye Lancheng rashly. He thought about it for a while, then picked up his phone and dialed a number.
The phone was quickly connected, and a sweet voice came from the receiver: "Brother Ding."
There was still anger on Thorn's face, but his voice was very gentle: "Baozhu, how is Grandma Xu's health today?"
"The doctor said that grandma's condition is recovering very well. Thank you Brother Ding for your concern." Xu Baozhu replied sweetly.
"That's good. I happen to be free today and will go to the hospital to visit Grandma Xu later." Thorne said.
Xu Baozhu said in surprise: "Brother Ding, are you coming? I'll go to the hospital right away. I just got home from the hospital."
"Don't worry, I'll pick you up at your house. You wait for me at home." Thorne smiled slightly, his voice gentle like a big brother.
Xu Baozhu was not polite to Thorne either: "Then I'll trouble Brother Ding."
After hanging up the phone, Thorne calmly grabbed the car keys and went out.
He also calmed down now. It was true that An Tingnuan was in Ye Lancheng's hands, but An Zhisu's life was also in his hands. Ye Lancheng was too cautious and would not do anything to An Tingnuan. At most, she would suffer a little.
Thorne calmly drove the car to the community where Xu Baozhu currently lives. In order to avoid that incompetent brother, Xu Baozhu rented a community with better security and a better environment. Thorne parked the car outside and walked into the community.
When she heard the doorbell ringing, Xu Baozhu knew that Thorne was here. She happily opened the door with a smile on her face: "Brother Ding, you are here."
Thorne smiled slightly, as warm as the wind.
Xu Baozhu poured Thorne a glass of water, and Thorne asked like an older brother: "How are you doing lately? You haven't been to work for so long. Your boss won't fire you, right?"
Speaking of An Zhisu, Xu Baozhu had a trace of worry on her face: "It's strange to say that our sister An fainted without any problems, and she still hasn't woken up, and the doctors can't find anything wrong."
"So weird?" Thorne asked curiously.
"Yeah, I was shocked. I thought Sister An had food poisoning. She fainted while eating. Fortunately, after the examination, it was not food poisoning." Xu Baozhu had been wondering about this for several days.
"Were you there at the time? She fainted without saying anything?" Thorne asked.
"No, we were sitting across from each other to eat, and she just picked up the chopsticks, and Sister An fainted." Xu Baozhu recalled that she had recalled it many times, but she didn't remember anything special happened.
Thorne was slightly relieved and glanced at her neck without trace, where she still wore the pendant she gave him.
"You are still wearing the pendant." Soen pointed at her neck with a nudity.
Xu Baozhu's face blushed slightly: "Well, I will always wear the reunion gift that Brother Ding gave me."
"Then have you discovered the secret hidden inside?" Thorne asked with a smile.
Xu Baozhu groaned and subconsciously touched the pendant: "Is there a secret in it?"
She didn't notice it. She had been observing the pendant almost day and night since it was given to her. Apart from feeling that it was very special, she didn't find any secrets in it.
"I've hidden a little secret inside. I originally wanted you to discover it yourself. Since you haven't discovered it, I'll tell you. You take it down and I'll show it to you." Thorne's eyes were very gentle.
Xu Baozhu's heart beat a few beats faster. She shyly unbuttoned the necklace and handed it to Thorn.
Thorne held the chain of the pendant and shook it gently in front of Xu Baozhu's eyes: "Don't blink, keep looking at it, the secret will appear."
Xu Baozhu obediently stared at the cross pendant, looking left, right, right, left. At first she could still see the pendant clearly, but then many ghosts of the pendant appeared in her sight, and her vision became increasingly blurry.
"Three...two...one..." Thorne counted down silently in his mind. When he counted down to one, Xu Baozhu's eyes suddenly stopped, and his eyes looked dull.
"What's your name?" Thorne asked softly.
"My name is Xu Baozhu." Xu Baozhu's voice was even duller.
"Very good." Thorn said with praise: "Xu Baozhu, you have to remember that you don't know Ding Qi, and you haven't met me. I haven't given you a cross pendant, so you don't know anything."
His voice was full of temptation like magic. Xu Baozhu repeated dully: "I don't know Ding Qi. I've never met you. You haven't given me a cross pendant. I don't know anything."
"Good girl." Thorne continued to praise and asked again: "What's your name?"
"My name is Xu Baozhu."
"Do you know Ding Qi?"
"I don't know."
"Do you know Thorne?"
"I don't know."
"Have you ever seen a cross pendant?"
"Never seen it."
"Have you seen me?"
"Never seen it."
"May I have your name?"
"My name is Xu Baozhu."
"Do you know Ding Qi?"
"I don't know."
…
This repetitive question and answer sounded repeatedly in the room, and the answer was the same every time. Half an hour later, Thorne snapped his fingers in front of Xu Baozhu's eyes with satisfaction.
Boom!
Xu Baozhu fell down on the sofa.
"Go to sleep, you won't remember anything after you sleep." Thorne gently stroked Xu Baozhu's hair. After a while, he picked up Xu Baozhu's cell phone and played with it for a while, then put it away.
He stayed in his original position, stood up and walked towards the door.
Click!
Xu Baozhu's door was gently closed. Thorne came without alerting anyone, nor left without alerting anyone. He went downstairs from the safety stairs, walked out of the unit building, walked out of the community, and got into the car parked on the roadside outside.
