Chapter 553: The Truth of the Past

Liu Rumeng felt inexplicably uneasy. She stared at the little fellow in front of her for a few seconds, and just as she intended to say something, she heard Yanbao continue, "Auntie kidnapped me, is it for my daddy?"

He was so calm that it didn't look like the way a five-year-old child should behave when facing such a situation.

Liu Rumeng was stunned by his question, then suddenly let out a cold laugh.

"As expected of a child from the Li Family, even in this situation, you can actually still be this calm and ask me why?"

Liu Rumeng stepped forward twice and very rudely grabbed the rope tied to Yanbao, walking toward the stairs as if she were carrying a bag.

As she went upstairs, she said with a resentful tone, "That's right, I am doing this for your daddy, so what? If you want to blame someone, just blame your own bad luck. Why did you have to be his son of all people!"

"But if Auntie Liu kidnapped me, Daddy will definitely be very angry. If Auntie sends me back now and says you rescued me from the hands of bad guys... Daddy definitely won't be angry, and I can promise Auntie... not to tell anyone about what happened today."

Yanbao was feeling quite uncomfortable from the rope on his body, so his speech was intermittent, yet his tone was extremely calm, as if he were negotiating with Liu Rumeng.

Liu Rumeng had already reached the second floor.

Her footsteps paused, and she looked down at the little fellow in her hand with even more disbelief.

Then, she continued walking upward with an expressionless face: "It's too late. I've already called your daddy. Your daddy and mommy should already be on their way here, but you are quite a smart child... what a pity..."

Liu Rumeng sighed and was already standing in the third-floor corridor.

Looking down from the railing, one could just see the Main Hall on the first floor and the front door facing this direction.

Outside the door—Li Beijue's car had already pulled up in a rush.

The two of them could barely wait for the car to stop completely before they immediately pushed open the doors, ran out, and headed straight for the villa entrance.

Li Beijue's phone vibrated once.

His footsteps paused, and he quickly took it out to take a look.

【President Li, our people should arrive in another ten minutes. I have already had people investigate the terrain over there, so just act according to the situation when the time comes; you don't need to worry.】

It was a message sent by Chen Xi.

Li Beijue quickly replied with the word "Understood."

The next second—"Yanbao! Liu Rumeng! Let Yanbao down!"

Jiang Baobao's shout suddenly rang out in the villa.

Li Beijue immediately pushed open the villa door with large strides and ran in. The moment he entered, his heart suddenly constricted violently.

He saw that Yanbao had already been tied up and was hanging upside down from the third-floor railing!

"Yanbao!!!"

Li Beijue's heart twitched repeatedly. Seeing the little fellow with his mouth taped shut and his cheeks flushed red from the strain, he felt unbearable heartache.

Liu Rumeng stood at the edge of the rope, holding a sharp little knife in her hand.

"You're here."

She greeted the two people downstairs with a smile.

Jiang Baobao could not help but tremble slightly all over. She glared at the person upstairs, wishing she could rush up immediately to take Yanbao down.

"Liu Rumeng, if you let Yanbao go now, I can promise you that I won't pursue this."

Li Beijue grabbed Jiang Baobao's hand, signaling for her to calm down first and negotiate with the person upstairs.

Upon hearing this, Liu Rumeng sneered.

"Not pursue it? Do you think I would believe you?"

Liu Rumeng looked at Li Beijue downstairs; her eyes held a trace of lingering affection and reluctance, but even more so, they were filled with intense hatred.

"Li Beijue! You have already broken my heart! Now you are only pretending to say you won't pursue it because this bastard is in my hands. What were you doing earlier! When I went to your office to beg you like that, how did you treat me! When you told me to get lost, you should have thought that there would be a day like this!"

Liu Rumeng shouted these words through gritted teeth.

"By doing this, have you considered the Liu Family?"

Jiang Baobao calmed down and looked nervously at Yanbao, who was wearing a pained expression.

"Your sister is getting married soon! Your father is also still hospitalized! Are you not considering them at all?"

"What's the use of considering them? Things have come to this, what else do I have to fear!"

Liu Rumeng glared at Jiang Baobao with hatred: "My father despises me for losing face for the family and won't even speak to me anymore. My sister is about to marry into the Qin Family and will still live a life without worries, but what about me? I have nothing left! The person I like was snatched away by you, and my career was ruined by you, this bitch! Jiang Baobao! What right do you have to question me here now!"

Li Beijue and Jiang Baobao felt their hearts tighten instantly upon hearing this, knowing that the situation was becoming difficult to handle.

If Liu Rumeng still had demands, then this matter would be easier to resolve...

But what they feared most was that she didn't want anything at all, and everything was just for revenge!

Using their child for the most cruel revenge!

Outside the villa—Chen Xi, still carrying his injuries, had already heard the situation in the Main Hall through the door crack. He was standing anxiously in the shadows, watching the few people climbing onto the villa roof.

"How is it? Can you get in?"

He asked in a low voice into the walkie-talkie.

The people on the roof quickly checked the rooms on the third floor, then pointed to one of the windows and quickly took out their tools.

"Yes, but the window is locked. It will take a few minutes to pick the lock. We will be as fast as possible."

"Good, the faster the better."

Chen Xi gripped the walkie-talkie in his hand nervously, his eyes fixed firmly on the villa's main entrance.

In the Main Hall—Jiang Baobao's eyes had already turned red, and she was struggling to think of a strategy in her mind.

What should she say...

What could she say to save Yanbao!

At her wit's end, Jiang Baobao suddenly said, "As long as you let Yanbao go! I can leave!"

"What's the use of you leaving!"

The expression on Liu Rumeng's face became even more disdainful: "Do you think I don't know who he likes? You want to trade your child back just like that? Keep dreaming!"

As Liu Rumeng spoke, the knife in her hand moved close to the edge of the rope.

"No!"

Jiang Baobao instinctively started to step forward.

"Stand there and don't move! Otherwise, I'll cut the rope!"

The knife in Liu Rumeng's hand sliced a small gap into the rope.

Yanbao immediately dropped a few centimeters!

"Yanbao!"

Li Beijue also instinctively started to step forward, but he forcibly controlled himself and did not move; his palms were already covered in cold sweat.

The floor in the living room was made of marble.

If he really fell like this, he would be dead or crippled!

He raised his eyes and stared fixedly at the knife in Liu Rumeng's hand, not daring to act rashly.

The living room instantly fell silent.

Watching how cautious they were, Liu Rumeng suddenly burst into loud laughter.

"Seeing you care so much about this bastard, I knew I had bet correctly!"

She spoke viciously, and after finishing, her tone suddenly shifted: "But do you know why I didn't tie up those other two little bastards, and only tied him?"
