Chapter 609: Threat
Translator: Lord bluefire
Shen Ruojing subconsciously looked at Chu Cichen.
Seemingly aware of the panic in her eyes, Chu Cichen was also a little flustered for a moment. He then lowered his voice and asked, “What’s wrong?’
In all the years he had known Shen Ruojing, he had never seen such panic and helplessness in her eyes.
This woman, who was always calm and composed, finally revealed a sense of helplessness.
Shen Ruojing turned on the speakerphone directly, her fingers trembling. “Song Chen, what do you want?”
“I don’t want anything. I just thought that since you don’t want to go with me, I’ll take Xiaomeng away. At least, genetically speaking, she’s also my daughter.’ Song Chen’s voice was low, with a hint of eerie laughter.
Shen Ruojing immediately retorted, “Song Chen, Xiaomeng is just a child!”
“But she is the child ofyou and Chu Cichen! She is my child too! Jingjing, do you know what I’m most afraid of? Do you know why I have to take over Chu Cichen’s identity? Because I’m terrified. There’s a saying in China, ‘fallen leaves return to their roots.’ But where are my roots?”
Shen Ruojing didn’t know how to respond.
Song Chen was a clone, and the Chu family would never recognize him.
Song Chen laughed again. “And do you know that clones have a genetic defect?” Shen Ruojing squinted her eyes. “What defect?”
“My body has no vitality. It won’t grow up, and I… won’t have any descendants of my own.” Song Chen was silent for a long time after saying the last sentence.
Shen Ruojing was slightly taken aback.
She had never heard of this aspect of clones before and didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Song Chen continued, ‘Other people have someone to care for them in their old age, but I don’t. Jingjing, I’m afraid that one day when I die, I’ll leave no trace in this world. I’m afraid that in ten, twenty years, there will be no one in this world who knows me. So I took Xiaomeng away. I’ll treat her like my own daughter. Don’t worry, I won’t hurt her.’
Shen Ruojing shouted, “Song Chen, she’s my daughter! You can’t do this! Where are you?’
Song Chen said, “Where am I? Let me see… I’m already at sea, out of China’s territorial waters. You can’t catch up, hahaha…”
After leaving these words, Song Chen hung up the phone.
Shen Ruojing almost fainted.
Chu Xiaomeng was her only daughter. Although she had never been biased toward her children, her two sons were more resilient, clever, and cunning. Only Xiaomeng had social anxiety and didn’t want to meet strangers. Because of that, Shen Ruojing couldn’t imagine the consequences of her being taken away by Song Chen!
Shen Ruojing turned to Chu Cichen. “Cichen…”
Chu Cichen then held her hand. “Don’t worry, Xiaomeng will be fine.”
At this moment, Dugu Xiao darkened his face and said, “518, pull yourself together. Don’t forget that our organization has a strong influence overseas. I believe that no matter where Song Chen goes, we’ll find them!”
Although Song Chen had said that he wouldn’t hurt Xiaomeng, as a mother, how could Shen Ruojing be at ease?
But things had developed to this point, and it was useless to regret it. The only thing Shen Ruojing could do now was to find them and bring Chu Xiaomeng back home immediately.
She, Chu Cichen, and Dugu Xiao returned to the Shen family’s home and saw Chu Tianye and Chu Yu waiting in the living room. As soon as the kids saw them return, they immediately stepped forward and asked, ‘Mommy, Daddy took our sister away, saying that he wanted to take her out to play. Where is our sister?”
The two looked behind the three adults but saw nothing. Shen Ruojing then wanted to explain something but didn’t know how to. Her mouth opened and closed a few times before she finally said, “Something came up, and she was sent abroad first. You two behave at home. We have something to do and have to go abroad as well.”
Chu Tianye and Chu Yu exchanged glances, and both nodded.
Although they could sense that something had happened, they didn’t ask since their parents didn ‘t want to say. They were still young, and what they needed to do was not to cause trouble.
Chu Xiaomeng’s phone had a location feature and it could also monitor her physical condition. Shen Ruojing then opened her monitoring software and saw that the child was actually in a cheerful mood.
She breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, at least Song Chen didn’t mistreat her.
At this moment, on the private plane. Song Chen was looking at Chu Xiaomeng, who was curled up in the airplane seat, holding her dinosaur stuffed toy. She stared at him with her big black grape-like eyes, looking curiously at Song Chen.
When Song Chen was on the phone with Shen Ruojing earlier, the little girl was listening the whole time, so she must know his intentions and know that he wasn’t a good person. But she didn’t seem scared at all, which made Song Chen very dissatisfied.
He wanted to see her cry and beg for her mother, so he could record a video and send it to Shen Ruojing. Maybe she would then come abroad to find him. Hence, Song Chen couldn’t help but try to scare her. “I’m not your father, you should have heard that just now, right?”
Chu Xiaomeng pouted her little lips. “I’m not deaf.”
‘ Song Chen choked for a moment before he asked, “So don’t you want to say something?” Chu Xiaomeng thought for a moment. ‘Yes.”
‘What?”
“It’s quite boring along the way. Do you have any scientific books I can read?”
Song Chen. “??”
When he was pretending to be Chu Cichen, he didn’t have much contact with the three children. At first, Lu Cheng had strictly controlled him, not letting him get close to the children, and he didn’t even live in the Chu Manor.
After Lu Cheng had an accident, he could enter the Chu family as Chu Cichen. But in two days, Shen Ruojing returned and discovered his abnormalities. She then left the Chu Manor with the children.
As a result, he didn’t know much about the three children’s personalities. He only knew that Chu Tianye liked money, but he didn’t know much about the other two. Since that was the case, he hadn’t expected the little girl to want to read a book at this time.
Song Chen didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. He searched the plane but couldn’t find any books, so he gave Chu Xiaomeng a pilot’s manual. He then thought that she would lose interest after a glance, but she started reading it with great interest.
Song Chen.
He simply took a picture of the little girl and sent it to Jing Zhen. “Your granddaughter is in my hands.. Hand over the technology, or I’ll kill her!”
