Chapter 552: Touch my son, and you're dead

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment, and after a pause of several seconds, he slowly spoke: "Baobao, you must stay calm about this matter..."

"What happened to the children!"

Jiang Baobao reacted before he could finish speaking.

Li Beijue did not want to hide it from her, so he had to tell the truth: "The car suddenly broke down on the way back for Mobai and the others, and they encountered an attack by people they didn't know. The other party took Yanbao away. Chen Xi and Zheng Bo were both injured, but Mobai and Tiantian should be fine..."

"This... how could this be..."

Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment, her face full of disbelief.

"Who would kidnap Yanbao? The people from the Lu Family can no longer stir up any trouble, so who else would want to target my child?"

"Is it because of the banquet a while ago? Could it be someone who has a grudge against the Li Family?"

The moment Jiang Baobao heard the news, she lost her composure, her mind in a chaotic mess.

Li Beijue hurriedly pulled her into his arms to comfort her: "Don't panic yet. Mobai was smart enough to memorize the other party's license plate number. I have already sent people to investigate, and there will be news soon. Yanbao is the most steady of the three of them; he must know how to think of ways to stall for time until we rescue him. You must believe in him, and believe in me..."

"But Yanbao is still so young!"

Jiang Baobao's tears could no longer be stopped as they slid from her eyes: "Is it not enough that Mobai has already experienced something like this! Who exactly are they... what do they want to do after kidnapping Yanbao..."

"Buzz—!"

Li Beijue's phone suddenly rang.

Jiang Baobao's eyes lit up, and she immediately stared fixedly at his phone.

Li Beijue hurriedly answered it.

Immediately after, he heard the person on the other end of the line report: "Mr. Li, that was a cloned license plate. We cannot trace the number, but our people are already quickly checking surveillance footage. We will definitely be able to locate where the other party went in the shortest time possible!"

"Faster, report to me as soon as there is news!"

Li Beijue tried hard to maintain his composure, doing his best not to let his tone sound even a hint panicked.

Yet the hope in Jiang Baobao's eyes was extinguished in an instant.

"They didn't find them, right? The license plate number was fake, wasn't it?"

She had already guessed every possibility.

Li Beijue nodded helplessly, wanting to speak to comfort her, but he didn't know what else to say.

Just at this moment—his phone suddenly rang again!

Li Beijue thought there was news and hurriedly went to answer it.

But upon seeing the name on the screen, his expression suddenly turned to one of disgust.

Liu Rumeng?

Why was she calling?

Li Beijue hung up without the slightest hesitation.

"Whose call is it? Why didn't you answer? What if it was the kidnapper calling!"

Jiang Baobao looked at him, burning with anxiety.

Li Beijue shook his head: "It's Liu Rumeng..."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly froze.

Jiang Baobao also froze in place instantly.

"Liu Rumeng! That's right... it's her! Could it be her! She has the motive to do this!"

Jiang Baobao suddenly widened her eyes, and as she spoke, she reached out to grab Li Beijue's phone.

Just as she touched it—a message popped up on the screen.

【Jue, don't regret not answering my call...】

Even through the screen, one could feel the provocative intent of the other party; the two of them almost immediately confirmed the answer in their hearts.

It was Liu Rumeng!

Li Beijue took back the phone and called her right back!

With a "beep—", the call was immediately answered.

"Jue, this is the first time you've taken the initiative to call me. Before, it was always me taking the initiative to find you..."

"Liu Rumeng, where did you take Yanbao."

Li Beijue couldn't be bothered to reminisce with her, his calm tone carrying a hint of ruthlessness.

Liu Rumeng laughed upon hearing this.

"Ha, you really are still so smart; you guessed it was me right away."

Her tone was full of smugness, not like she was talking about something as criminal as murder, but rather like she was flirting with Li Beijue.

"Liu Rumeng!!!"

Li Beijue gripped his phone tightly, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

Liu Rumeng laughed even more happily: "Jue, this is the first time I've seen you so fierce. Forget it, I don't want to make things difficult for you either. If you want to see the child, come to the address I sent. Remember, I only want you and Jiang Baobao to come; don't have anyone else."

After Liu Rumeng finished speaking, she hung up the phone directly.

A few seconds later—a new message appeared on Li Beijue's phone.

The location pointed directly to a villa outside the city.

Li Beijue did not dare to delay for a moment and sent the message directly to Chen Xi, telling him to quietly bring people and rush over.

Immediately after, he hurriedly started the car and sped away.

"What kind of place is that villa?"

Jiang Baobao looked at the address, feeling it was unfamiliar, and asked anxiously.

Li Beijue pondered for two seconds before answering: "If I remember correctly, it seems to be a villa the Liu Family uses for summer retreats. They only go there in the summer; no one would go there in this season."

"Then is it possible she has prepared some dangerous items there?"

Jiang Baobao continued to ask, feeling uneasy.

Li Beijue's expression was stern; although he himself was incredibly panicked, he gently patted her hand: "Don't be nervous, trust me. With me here, nothing will happen, and Yanbao will also be safe and sound. Since she asked the two of us to go over together, she must have something to say and won't do anything to Yanbao for the time being. I have already had Chen Xi take people over there!"

A flash of coldness suddenly crossed Jiang Baobao's eyes, and she pressed her lips together tightly, saying nothing.

Liu Rumeng...

She had already let her off the hook once.

She never expected that this time, she would actually set her sights on Yanbao!

If anything really happens to Yanbao, she will definitely make her pay with her life!!!

Inside the villa—Liu Rumeng looked with satisfaction at Yanbao, who was tied up and gagged, and tossed a bag of cash to the three men.

"Take the money and go. It's best if you go outside to lay low and don't come back for half a year."

The three men didn't say a single extra word; they grabbed the cash and turned to leave.

In the living room, only Yanbao, who couldn't speak, and Liu Rumeng, who was sizing him up, were left.

Liu Rumeng crouched down and casually ripped the tape off Yanbao's mouth.

"Yanbao, are you surprised to see Auntie?"

Liu Rumeng smiled and pinched Yanbao's chin, and the next instant—her face suddenly changed drastically, and she used her long fingernails to fiercely scratch Yanbao's face!

A glaring red mark was immediately left on his fair, tender little cheek.

Liu Rumeng suddenly felt much more satisfied in her heart.

Yet Yanbao did not cry or make a fuss; he just looked at her quietly, as if he couldn't feel the pain.

"Why did Auntie Liu kidnap me?"

Yanbao asked in a deep voice, his serious demeanor surprisingly seven parts similar to Li Beijue's usual self.

Liu Rumeng was startled by his tone and gaze; a chill instantly ran down her back, and she hurriedly stood up, a strange feeling rising in her heart.

What is going on?

Has this child been scared silly?

Why does she feel... that he is neither that rowdy Mobai, nor is he completely like Yanbao?!
