Meng Nianchu showed disgust upon hearing Linda's voice.
Linda let out a couple of cold laughs and then said, "Do you know where I am now?"
As she spoke, the howling wind wafted out from the receiver, along with a baby's cry.
Hearing that sound, Meng Nianchu's hair stood on end. She snatched the phone from Mu Junze's hand and involuntarily raised her voice, "Where are you!"
She was sure that the cry was Sheng Nan's!
Meng Nianchu tightened her grip on the phone, and her body trembled involuntarily.
Mu Junze steadied her and sternly demanded, "Where?"
Hearing their anxious voices, Linda burst into a triumphant laugh.
Even without seeing her, just hearing her voice, Meng Nianchu could imagine how hideous Linda's face must be at this moment.
"Give my child back to me!" Meng Nianchu gritted her teeth.
Linda's sarcastic words slowly came through, "The place I'm at now is really beautiful. Standing here, you can see high - rise buildings in the distance. Meng Nianchu, your child is with me, and he'll be very happy."
"What do you want to do!"
"However," Linda deliberately elongated the last syllable, "it might be a bit boring if it's just the two of us here."
"I'm on top of the Jinli Building on Kuihao Street. If you want to see your son, come here with Mu Junze. It must be just the two of you. If there are others, I can't guarantee your child will still be in my arms."
"How dare you..."
Linda hung up the phone directly.
Meng Nianchu turned around and ran out of the amusement park. Mu Junze told Meng's mother to go back to Shangting and wait, then hurriedly followed Meng Nianchu.
Mu Junze had heard everything Linda said on the phone, so he naturally knew where to go.
The two rushed to the place in a hurry. As soon as they got out of the car, they saw Linda standing on the rooftop, looking down at them.
"You're here quite quickly."
As soon as Meng Nianchu set foot on the rooftop, Linda sneered.
Seeing Sheng Nan in her arms, crying with red - rimmed eyes, Meng Nianchu felt a pang of heartache. She glared at Linda fiercely, her voice cold, "What on earth do you want!"
"What do I want?" Linda retorted, shifting her gaze to Mu Junze standing beside Meng Nianchu. "What I want is very simple. You give Mu Junze to me and divorce him."
"You're daydreaming." Mu Junze replied coldly.
Linda lowered her eyes and gently stroked the fair little face of Mu Sheng Nan in her arms. "I have to say, this child looks a bit like Junze. But his face also has a bit of his mother's shadow, which just makes people feel uncomfortable."
Seeing Linda's hand stroking Sheng Nan's face, Meng Nianchu's heart was in her throat.
"Give the child to me." Meng Nianchu took a tentative step forward.
Noticing her movement, Linda immediately took a step back. As she moved, Sheng Nan in her arms was startled and burst into loud cries.
Meng Nianchu felt extremely heart - broken.
Linda threatened coldly, "Just stand there. If you take another step, I'll throw the child off!"
"Don't!" Meng Nianchu immediately stepped back to her original position.
Seeing Meng Nianchu, who had insulted her two days ago, now obediently following her words, Linda's poor vanity was satisfied. She slightly raised her chin, looking very proud.
"Two days ago, you were punching and kicking me, saying that I deserved my fate. Now, look at you. You're still obediently doing as I say."
So it was because of that day.
Meng Nianchu swallowed hard and stared fixedly at Sheng Nan's little face without blinking. "If you're still angry about that day, I can apologize to you. Even if you think it's not enough to vent your anger, you can beat me back. But it has nothing to do with the child!"
"Beat you back?"
Linda disdainfully glanced at Meng Nianchu up and down. "What good would it do me to beat you? I'm not as crude as you."
"Then what on earth do you want!"
"Give me the Meng family company." Linda's expression darkened.
Meng Nianchu's expression froze for a moment.
Linda repeated, "Give me the Meng family company. I want you to voluntarily give up your right to inherit the company and hand it over to me."
Seeing Meng Nianchu in a daze, Linda took another step back. "Meng Nianchu, think it over. If you don't agree to this, I'll jump off the building with your child. I don't care about my own life. Do you not care about your child's life either?"
"I..." Meng Nianchu gasped for air, caught in a dilemma.
If she gave the company to Linda, wouldn't she be betraying Father Meng's trust? But if she didn't agree, what about Sheng Nan...
"Are you going to give it or not!"
"Give!" Meng Nianchu made up her mind, raised her eyes to look directly at Linda, and replied firmly, "I agree!"
Her easy agreement surprised Linda a little. She stroked Sheng Nan's face again and sneered, "I should have known that if I kidnapped this child, you'd be so obedient. I shouldn't have wasted so much time and effort before. I should have just done this."
"I've already agreed to your request. Give me my child quickly." Meng Nianchu took another step forward.
Linda swung the arm holding the child towards the edge of the rooftop.
Seeing her action, Meng Nianchu's heart skipped a beat.
Linda looked at Mu Junze, who was looking tense, and said, "The Meng family company is not enough. I also want Mu Junze!"
Hearing her shameless demand, Mu Junze's face showed even more disgust.
Meng Nianchu nodded repeatedly and kept stepping forward. "I agree. I'll agree to anything."
"I want you to divorce Mu Junze right now. I want you to leave him immediately!"
"Okay!"
Hearing Meng Nianchu's response, Linda, who finally got what she wanted, burst into excited laughter. As she laughed, her body shook constantly, and the child in her arms swayed up and down.
Sheng Nan was so scared that he burst into tears.
Meng Nianchu took a sudden big step forward and reached out to grab the child.
Linda noticed her movement, quickly stepped back, and with a sudden push, directly sent Meng Nianchu falling off the rooftop.
"Go to hell!"
"Nianchu!" Mu Junze rushed forward, but it was too late. His big hand just grazed Meng Nianchu's little hand and failed to grab her.
He stood at the edge of the rooftop and looked down, then let out a sigh of relief. On the way here, the police he called had arrived in time and set up the emergency sponge. Meng Nianchu fell on it. She should be okay.
Linda also wanted to see Meng Nianchu's miserable state with her own eyes. Just as she was about to stand beside Mu Junze, Mu Junze grabbed her, snatched the child from her arms, and threw her directly to the ground.
