He didn't worry about being extorted; what truly scared him was if they didn't want money, just lives.
The more Ruan Tianling thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He was very worried that something might happen to Jian Yufei.
This worry mixed with strands of panic, made it impossible for him not to worry about her, not to care about her.
He didn't understand why he cared for her safety so intensely.
The explanation he gave to himself was that she was carrying his child in her stomach, hence his intense concern for her.
But he asked himself, if she wasn't pregnant, would he still care about her this much?
Ruan Tianling couldn't answer this hypothetical question. At this moment, his phone rang, interrupting his thoughts.
He hurriedly picked up the phone and answered the call, "Who is this?"
It turned out it was not a call from the kidnappers, but from the police station.
