"If you get involved again, I won't call you my grandson anymore!"
After giving his warning, Elder Nangong turned and left Nangong Quan's office. From the way he spoke, it was obvious that he was serious this time.
Nangong Quan did not try to defend himself. He knew that no matter what he said, it was useless!
After Su Youran found out that 'The Ant Queen 2' was suddenly released, she suspected that her husband had leaked information to the Mo Family. But, after returning home, Nangong Quan looked exhausted as he shook his head, "If only I had the courage to do that."
"You really didn't do it?"
Nangong Quan shook his head again, "I told you a long time ago that grandfather wouldn't be able to win against Tangning and Mo Ting. He didn't believe me."
"What did grandfather say?"
"Grandfather had the same thoughts as you. He also thought I leaked the information."
"Is grandfather angry?" Su Youran suddenly realized a serious problem. "No, Little Eggshell said she's playing at a classmate's place today. I'll go pick her up right now."
"No need. It's not easy for Little Eggshell to make friends again. Let her go …" Nangong Quan stopped Su Youran.
"But …"
As it turned out, Su Youran's intuition was correct. Because, that night, Little Eggshell still did not return home.
The two women sat in the living room with their arms crossed. In the end, they gave the classmate's parent a phone call. But, the parent replied, "I personally escorted Little Cai Er to the front door. Didn't she go in?"
After hearing this, Nangong Quan couldn't help but stand up.
Little Eggshell had been taken away from the front door.
"Quan … what should we do now?"
Nangong Quan did not say a word as he pulled out his phone and gave Elder Nangong a phone call. His voice was no longer as calm as usual. In fact, it was a little shaky, "Give Cai Er back to me …"
"To guarantee that you won't get involved in this matter again, Cai Er will be staying with me for a while. After everything is over, I will naturally return her to you."
"Are you an animal? You won't even let your own great-granddaughter off the hook! "Nangong Quan asked angrily." I told you, this matter has nothing to do with me. It has nothing to do with me! "
"Since you know that Cai Er is my great-granddaughter, I won't mistreat her. That's all!"
After speaking, Elder Nangong hung up the phone.
"What did grandfather say?" Su Youran asked. "What do I have to do to get Little Eggshell back?"
"He said after this is over!"
Nangong Quan replied helplessly.
"I seriously suspect that he really is sick!" Su Youran was also angry, but she was also worried. "Little Eggshell's only a few years old, yet she's following such a monster. What if she gets traumatized?"
"Plus, Little Eggshell has been feeling a little cold for the past few days. Can that jerk take care of Cai Er?"
Seeing how anxious Su Youran was, Nangong Quan stretched out his arms and hugged her, "I'm sorry … I'm sorry …"
"What do you have to be sorry for …" Su Youran cried. "Everyone else has wronged you, what do you have to be sorry for?"
This night, the couple without their daughter by their side … was destined to suffer from insomnia …
So, in the middle of the night, while Nangong Quan was in his study room, Su Youran couldn't help but give Tangning a phone call.
She had no other choice. At home, she could be Nangong Quan's gentle wife and Little Eggshell's adorable mother. But, when faced with a jerk like Elder Nangong, there was nothing she could do …
"Ning Jie, tell me, is there a way to free the father and daughter?"
Tangning never expected that 'The Ant Queen 2' had such a story behind its release. More importantly, she never expected that Elder Nangong would think that Nangong Quan had leaked the secret, so she and Mo Ting decided to release the film in this way.
"If Elder Nangong continues to pressure me, I think … I think I might actually kill someone one day."
"Don't be silly. The reason why Mo Ting and I decided to release the film in this way was because we personally saw Elder Nangong sneak a peek at the actors' scripts. We were afraid that something unexpected would happen."
"Ning Jie, I've actually leaked his plan to you. Compared to that jerk, I'm more willing to trust the two of you. Please, help me save Little Eggshell."
After hearing this, Tangning felt a little upset.
"Youran, the biggest help I can give you right now is to pretend that you never made this phone call. We won't take any precautions. Otherwise, Little Eggshell may actually be in danger."
What else couldn't a person like Elder Nangong do?
"But …"
"We won't run away. We will play along with whatever tricks Elder Nangong wants to play. Don't provoke him any further."
Did the two families really have to fight to this extent?
What benefit did Elder Nangong get from this?
After hanging up the phone call with Su Youran, Tangning was in a difficult position. Luckily, she and Mo Ting were careful. Otherwise, they would have already fallen into the old man's trap.
Meanwhile, Su Youran did not explain too clearly to the US because she didn't know much about Elder Nangong's plans and methods. Of course, Hai Rui wasn't afraid.
"It seems, we have no choice but to face them head-on. Otherwise, Elder Nangong will vent his anger on the Nangong couple and even a 5- or 6-year-old girl."
After hearing this, Mo Ting nodded his head, "Even if Su Youran hadn't leaked the secret, we wouldn't have suffered any losses."
"That old jerk has probably become a psychopath."
"I'm starting to hate the mess that the old man created in the past …" Mo Ting suddenly said.
"Don't say that. Grandfather never expected things to get to this point. Let's see what tricks Elder Nangong has up his sleeves."
The trick that Old Master Nangong wants to play is probably a weight that neither of you can bear.
After all, he was merely using Hai Rui as a cover. His real target was the Mo Family's two sons.
Once Mo Ting and Tangning's attention was diverted, he would naturally have a way to capture the two kids …
So, even though there was a change in plans, 'Mad Dog Crisis' would still be released in the US. They simply changed the method, but the result would not change.
Since they were going to slander Elder Nangong, why would they care about using shameless methods?
When the time came, they could simply accuse 'The Ant Queen 2' of having a staff member that had come into contact with the script of 'Mad Dog Crisis'. That way, Hai Rui wouldn't have a chance to retaliate. After all, no matter how big Hai Rui was, it couldn't compete with Hollywood and the US film industry.
And, the best candidate for this staff member was the person that Elder Nangong had previously used. The person with the surname 'Zeng', the explosives technician.
After all, he had previously worked in the US and had even worked on the set of 'The Ant Queen 2'.
Although the police were still looking for this person, it was a fact that he had once existed. So, the perfect thing was, he could use this identity to slander Hai Rui and there would be no evidence!
