“Is what you said true?” Chen Chen felt helpless and only asked this after a long time.

“My wife, child, and mother are all here. The child’s medical record is also in the house. I can’t make things up. Boss, I’m not asking you to forgive me. I know I’ve let you down. I can follow you to jail, but not now. My child is going to continue the surgery. I can’t take out the money. Now, I can only secretly do some odd jobs at the construction site. My wife has a disability and can only do some manual work. If I’m caught, my son will be dead!” The kidnapper knelt on the ground and begged.

Chen Chen then noticed that the woman’s leg was crippled and the injury was very severe.

He sighed. He really did not expect this outcome tonight.

The kidnapper in front of him was indeed very detestable, but he could not be blamed.

Who should he blame? Looking at the old man and child on the ground, Chen Chen was in a difficult position. It was as if he was a bad person.

“Get up first,” Chen Chen said after some thought. Then, he looked at Xiao Zhuo. “Xiao Zhuo, help the old man and child in first.”

The kidnapper thought that Chen Chen still wanted to punish him. He kowtowed on the ground like he was pounding garlic and said, “Boss, I’m begging you. Please, I really can’t go to jail. My child can’t live without me. He’s only one and a half years old. He can’t die like this…”

His tearful appearance moved everyone present.

Chen Chen was silent again. After a while, he sighed and replied, “I know you’re very pitiful, but this is not a reason for you to make a mistake. Do you know how much you made me suffer? I almost got a divorce!”

After a pause, he said, “No matter what, you have to stand up and testify for me publicly at the police station to clear my name.”

The kidnapper’s capriciousness was no longer convincing. It was nothing to Bai Ran. Perhaps only if he found such a credible place to prove it could Bai Ran believe him.

After all, if he continued to perjure himself, he would have to pay the price.

The kidnapper was so anxious that he cried and said, “No, Boss. I really can’t. Once I testify publicly, this matter will be made public. That woman won’t let me off either. I can’t go to jail, and nothing can happen to me! Please do me a favor. My child can’t die…”

Chen Chen pursed his lips and asked, “How much can you earn by working secretly at the construction site like this?”

The kidnapper quickly said, “I usually work during the day and night. I can get 300 yuan in the day and 150 yuan at night. In a month, I can earn more than 10,000 yuan!”

Chen Chen asked again, “How much does that child need to treat his illness?”

The kidnapper lowered his head and said, “The follow-up treatment costs 500,000 yuan.”

Chen Chen glanced at him and said, “Then if you continue like this, when can you save enough money for the surgery?”

The kidnapper sighed and said, “I know it’s still a long way, but the hospital said that as long as I can take out money every month, I’ll help my son use the medicine first. In other words, as long as I don’t stop working, he can extend his life first. I’ll think of a way to get the rest of the money…”

“Think of what? Continue to kidnap people?” Chen Chen said sternly.

“I don’t dare, I don’t dare. Boss, to be honest, after what happened last time, I regret it very much. Our family is honest. For decades, from my grandfather’s generation down, we have never done anything to let others down. However, I had no choice. I really want to turn myself in and atone for my sins, but I really can’t go to jail,” the kidnapper said helplessly.

Chen Chen sighed and said, “Then how about this? Go turn yourself in and testify for me. I’ll help you treat your child until he’s cured. Not only that, but I’ll also support him in school until he graduates from university. How about that?”

When Chen Chen said this, not only was the kidnapper’s family stunned, but even his lackeys were stunned.

They knew that Chen Chen had always been soft-hearted and kind, but they did not know that he would choose to repay evil with kindness and help the kidnapper.

Other than shock, a few of them were also impressed. Indeed, he convinced others with virtue.

Xiao Zhuo only smiled and did not say anything. He knew Chen Chen’s character, so he knew that he would definitely do this when he saw such a scene.

“Boss, did I hear wrongly? You said you want to help me treat my child and provide for him to go to school?” The kidnapper’s eyes instantly shone with disbelief.
