Jia Cui suddenly stood up, "Luo Guangyao, what do you mean?"
Chen Xiazhi and Chen Hanlu, the sisters, also looked solemn.
They already disliked Luo Guangyao, and his words just now gave them an ominous premonition.
"Don't be so nervous!" Luo Guangyao wore a sinister smile. "Actually, I didn't want it to be like this, but you forced me!"
"If you had returned to the provincial capital with me back then, none of this would have happened today!"
"I wouldn't have made a fool of myself at Banshan Villa!"
"Nor would I have opened Luo's Catering in Jizhou!"
"And I wouldn't have been defeated by your Shannan Catering!"
"Do you know how much the Luo family has lost during this period?"
"Billions!"
"Billions!"
Jia Cui said coldly, "What does the Luo family's loss have to do with us? Didn't you bring this upon yourself?"
Luo Guangyao suppressed his anger. "Actually, you should have returned to the provincial capital with me. I was thinking of you. After all, I've already found good families for Xiazhi and Hanlu."
"The Jiang family in the capital, this is a genuine aristocratic family."
"They possess wealth and connections beyond compare. If the two of them marry into the Jiang family, they will surely become outstanding individuals."
"But why were you so unappreciative?"
Jia Cui did not hide her disgust. "In the end, you claim to be doing this for their own good, but aren't you just trying to use them as a bargaining chip for your own benefit?"
"Shut up!"
Luo Guangyao roared, "Your family is just a bunch of upstarts. Do you really think you've defeated me?"
"To tell you the truth, I didn't invite you here today for a final meal. I want Chen Nan to hand over the secret recipe for the medicinal cuisine."
"Then I'll take you away from Jizhou and send Xiazhi and Hanlu to the Jiang family in the capital!"
"That is their best destination!"
"Then I will gain the favor of the Jiang family and truly take over the Luo family!"
His eyes were bloodshot, and an astonishing aura of ferocity erupted from him.
"Luo Guangyao, even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs. You're trying to harm your own flesh and blood? Are you even human?" Jia Cui's face was sallow. She never imagined his true intention was to kidnap them.
Chen Xiazhi and Chen Hanlu's eyes were filled with anxiety. They quickly took out their phones, only to find there was no signal at all.
"Don't even think about calling the police. I've already had someone block the signal here!" Luo Guangyao laughed heartily. "See? I'm the one who gets the last laugh. They, father and son, are no match for me!"
Chen Xiazhi immediately got up and ran towards the outside.
She wanted to find a place to make a call for help.
But as soon as she reached the door, a bodyguard burst in, grabbed her arm, and pushed her back into her seat.
Jia Cui said angrily, "Luo Guangyao, you are a beast. I advise you to release us quickly. Otherwise, when my son arrives, he will not forgive you!"
"No hurry, I'll call him." Luo Guangyao sneered. "You guys keep an eye on them, the three of them. If anyone dares to run, give them a good beating!"
He said and strode away.
After leaving the farmhouse restaurant, Luo Guangyao directly dialed Chen Nan's number. When it connected, he smiled and said, "Chen Nan, it's Luo Guangyao."
Chen Nan asked indifferently, "Is there something?"
Luo Guangyao smiled. "It's nothing major. It's just... I've taken a liking to your Shannan Catering's medicinal cuisine recipe. Can you give it to me?"
Chen Nan retorted, "I've taken a liking to Luo's Group's assets. Can you give them to me?"
Luo Guangyao: "Obviously, that's impossible!"
Chen Nan: "Then why do you think I would give you the secret recipe for Shannan Catering's medicinal cuisine?"
"Because the three of them are in my hands. Is that reason enough?" Luo Guangyao laughed heartily. "Chen Nan, if you don't give me the recipe for the medicinal cuisine, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Chen Nan was furious. "Luo Guangyao, are you still human? She was your wife, your own flesh and blood. You actually kidnapped the three of them?"
Luo Guangyao sneered, "Don't blame me. I don't want to be like this either! Because they never considered me their father. Since that's the case, why should I be obsessed with these matters?"
"Alright, let's stop wasting time."
"I'll give you half an hour to send the secret recipe for the medicinal cuisine to my phone. Otherwise, you can wait to collect their corpses!"
Luo Guangyao hung up the phone.
On the other side.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Nan called his mother, but it said the number was out of service.
Then he called his two sisters' phones, and they also said they were out of service!
This gave him a sense of foreboding. It seemed Luo Guangyao wasn't lying. He had indeed kidnapped or imprisoned his mother and two sisters!
Otherwise, the three of them wouldn't have simultaneously lost contact.
Without further thought, he called Li Pingan. "My two younger sisters are missing. Were your people following them?"
Li Pingan quickly replied, "Old Ancestor, I just received news from our grandmother and the others."
"They are currently at a farmhouse restaurant in the west city. Some disciples of the Suo Ming Sect have disguised themselves as waiters and are protecting them. You don't need to worry too much!"
Hearing this, Chen Nan breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he had sent people to secretly protect his two younger sisters earlier, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Moreover, Chen Nan had a premonition.
Luo Guangyao's goal was not just the medicinal cuisine recipe.
If things went as expected, even if he handed over the recipe, Luo Guangyao would not let his mother and sisters go.
Without further thought, Chen Nan headed directly towards the farmhouse restaurant in the west city.
------
"Come on, eat up. After this meal, we'll return to the provincial capital!"
In the private room of the farmhouse restaurant, Luo Guangyao wore a bright smile.
He knew that Chen Nan would definitely give him the medicinal cuisine recipe.
Unless he didn't care about the three of them at all!
But the probability of that was almost negligible!
"Eat!"
Jia Cui said with a blank expression.
They had to eat their fill first. Only then could they contend with Luo Guangyao.
Half an hour passed in a flash.
Luo Guangyao took his phone and went outside, then returned to the private room in a rage and slapped Jia Cui across the face.
"What are you doing?"
The sisters were furious and wanted to fight Luo Guangyao to the death.
But the bodyguards behind them restrained them, rendering them unable to move.
Jia Cui's cheek was red, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, but she was not afraid. She even grinned, "Did my son disappoint you?"
Luo Guangyao gritted his teeth. "Laugh? How can you still laugh?"
"He clearly doesn't care about your lives!"
"In his heart, the three of you are not even worth as much as a medicinal cuisine recipe."
"I just don't understand, how can you still laugh at this point?"
Bang!
A loud noise.
Chen Nan kicked open the door and entered.
He was like a god of slaughter. "Who said I don't care about their lives?"
