Chapter 8 Qian Hu

The cries for help coming from the top of the skyscraper could not be heard by Liang Junjie, who was still searching for Yu Xueji on the ground.

"Damn it! Where did those guys take them?"

When Liang Junjie tried to contact Huo Chuyu again to rescue people, his phone still displayed the message: "The current user is not in the service area, please call again later."

"Master! Master! You disappeared at the crucial moment! It would have been better not to worship you at all!"

In a fit of anger, Liang Junjie flooded Huo Chuyu's chat window with messages, sending a bunch of "help" emojis. He sent a hundred emojis in just ten seconds.

But he quickly calmed down.

"When I called Xueji before, her phone rang, but no one answered. That means her phone can still be located."

Liang Junjie immediately informed the police, who were also making every effort to locate Yu Xueji's position using satellite signals.

Meanwhile, up in the skyscraper, a cell phone rang again.

"Hey, Liang Junjie? This kid has called three times already, hasn't he? Your old flame?" The woman said, waving Yu Xueji's phone at him.

"Is the screensaver his? Tsk tsk tsk." The woman fiddled with the phone for a bit, clicking her tongue in amazement at Yu Xueji's phone.

"Let me go! And he's not my ex! He's not my phone's saver either!" Yu Xueji said angrily. But as angry as she was, she wouldn't say things like, "My dad will never let you get away with this." She knew perfectly well that if the two people in front of her were just trying to kidnap her, they would never have brought her to the top of this skyscraper.

"If they kill the hostage, they'll probably just kick me out." Yu Xueji had already analyzed the worst possible outcome in her mind.

"Su Li, stop playing around. Quickly call this woman's grandfather and call that Yu Guojun. Tell him: Your granddaughter is in my hands. If you want her to be safe, come to room 167 of the Post and Telecommunications Building." Tiger Brother left after saying that, leaving only Yu Xueji and the woman named Su Li on the rooftop.

Yu Guojun, who had just finished a business deal, received a phone call from a strange woman.

"Mr. Yu, a woman named Su Li is calling you." Yu Guojun's secretary approached Yu Guojun with the phone.

Even with his family, Yu Guojun's phone is always on work status; the only way to reach him is through his secretary.

"Hey? What do you want from me?" Yu Guojun asked without any formalities.

"Grandpa Yu, your granddaughter, Su Li, is in our hands. If you want her to live, come to room 167 of the Post and Telecommunications Building in Yangcheng."

Before Yu Guojun could even ask what was going on, the phone went dead.

Yu Guojun initially thought it was a prank, but then he received another call from the police.

"Hello, is this Yu Xueji's family? This is the Yangcheng Police. Your family member, Yu Xueji, is suspected of being kidnapped..."

The police explained the general situation and also shared Liang Junjie's speculations.

Yu Guojun was now in a panic. He only had one descendant, and Yu Xueji was his future successor and the future head of the Yu family.

"Pass down the order to prepare fifteen bodyguards to proceed to room 167 of the Yangcheng Post and Telecommunications Building."

He didn't go with them, but instead used a regular car as a backup, a method he often used to prevent himself from being followed or assassinated.

Inside the Post and Telecommunications Building.

Tiger sat down on the ground, cross-legged. If Liang Junjie were here, he could tell at a glance that this man was already a half-baked cultivator who had stepped into the threshold of cultivation.

When the door was pushed open, a bodyguard first went out to make sure there were no traps or other risks before letting Yu Guojun in.

Tiger stood up, dusted off his hands, and held his right hand out in mid-air.

Yu Guojun also extended his right hand, but his expression was very unpleasant because he did not see his granddaughter there.

"Where is my granddaughter?"

Yu Guojun asked with a gloomy expression.

Tiger smiled and withdrew his hand.

"Your granddaughter is safe now, but if you don't give me what I want, she'll fall 300 meters from the sky and land on the ground, turning into a pool of bloody ice cream."

"Who are you? What do you want?" Yu Guojun asked after taking a deep breath.

"Who am I? I never reveal my name to outsiders. You can call me by my code name: Qian Hu."

Qian Hu paused for a moment, then continued, "As for what we want? It's simple, we just want your family's glowing core."

Upon hearing the word "core," Yu Guojun was immediately startled.

The core is an antique passed down through generations of the Yu family, dating back to the Han Dynasty. To this day, the Yu family has been able to adapt to the times thanks to this treasure. It can be said that the Yu family can do without it, but the core must exist.

"How did you find out about that core?" Yu Guojun already had a plan in mind. As soon as the other party opened his mouth, whether it was true or false, he would have his men investigate immediately, and if possible, kill him.

"You don't need to worry about that. All you need to do now is answer me: give it or not? You have ten minutes to think it over. After ten minutes, your granddaughter will turn into a blood-red ice cream, and I won't mind taking a bite myself." A cruel smile had already appeared on Qian Hu's face, sending chills down one's spine.

Beyond Earth, on the Moon.

Huo Chuyu, who had just dealt with a lunar base explosion for the Huo family, was on her way back to Earth.

She felt that there were a lot of things to do today. First, she asked Liang Junjie to create a group to spread cultivation knowledge in the morning. Then she was summoned by the family and had to deal with troublesome matters in the universe. Unexpectedly, just after she finished resolving a family spirit stone mining project on the moon, their Huo family's lunar base suffered a major explosion accident because a small meteorite was not intercepted in time.

"Why are there so many accidents on the first day of the new year...?"

Reflecting on this, Huo Chuyu cast another divination for herself. It is said that one can divine the heavens and the earth, but not oneself. However, in Huo Chuyu's mind, that was nonsense, because since she was a child, she had only been able to divine matters concerning her own destiny through the study of the Heavenly Evolution Technique.

"It's clearly a day of great fortune, so what's wrong with me today?" Huo Chuyu tried a different method of divination, but the result was still that she was destined for great fortune.

Once back within the range of Earth's human technology, Huo Chuyu's phone began a frantic barrage of calls.

Upon opening the link, I saw that my beloved student, Xiao Liang, had 999+ followers and over 30 phone numbers.

When I opened the chat window with Liang Junjie, I found it was full of "help" emojis.

She quickly dialed back.

"Feed? Can you hear me?"
