Chapter 554: The Speed of Maternal Love

Jiang Baobao stiffened abruptly, and listening to the meaning behind her words, she suddenly realized something.

Liu Rumeng indeed continued to speak arrogantly: "Because this child's life was something I picked up! Now that I don't want him to live, I can easily kill him too!"

"What do you mean?"

Li Beijue asked coldly.

"What do you think?" Liu Rumeng asked back, feeling relaxed and composed, then continued unhurriedly: "Beijue, do you still remember when you saw this child all those years ago? He was on the verge of death, and it was you who spent a fortune to have him rescued..."

She paused for a moment, and in the next second, her tone suddenly turned vicious: "But he was never meant to survive!"

"Back then... was it you who stole Yanbao?"

Jiang Baobao widened her eyes, looking at Liu Rumeng in disbelief.

Liu Rumeng, however, couldn't be bothered to pay her any mind; she only looked at Li Beijue, her eyes filled with deep confusion and resentment: "Beijue, I don't understand. That bitch Jiang Baobao, what is so good about her? Why is it that six years ago she could bear your child, and six years later, you have given your whole heart to her?"

"Why did you send Yanbao to my side?"

Li Beijue ignored her words and asked in a deep voice.

Liu Rumeng gave a bitter laugh.

"Send? How could I possibly send another woman's child to your side?"

She suddenly turned her head to look at Jiang Baobao: "It was her own carelessness! When she went to the Hospital for a follow-up, I happened to see her! I knew then that she was pregnant with triplets, so I kept people watching her until the day of the birth. The moment Yanbao was born, he was nearly dead! I spent a large sum of money to get that Doctor and the nurse to cooperate with me and lie, telling her that Yanbao was already dead! Then I called you..."

Liu Rumeng's expression became even more resentful as she spoke: "But who knew this bastard would have such tenacious vitality! When you arrived, he was actually still alive! And he was actually rescued, just like that, becoming the young master of the Li Family... Heh... he actually survived..."

Jiang Baobao felt icy cold all over, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

Back then... so that was how it was...

If Li Beijue hadn't arrived in time back then, Yanbao would have truly...

And Li Beijue, seeing that Yanbao was already gone, would likely have hated her to the bone!

This was Liu Rumeng's original plan...

That way, she would have had the opportunity to slowly get close to Li Beijue...

Li Beijue's face was dark, and there was already killing intent in his eyes; he had clearly also figured out her sinister intentions.

Facing their cold gazes, Liu Rumeng smiled, completely unconcerned.

"No need to look at me like that. Since I dared to tell you, there is nothing I wouldn't dare to own up to..."

As she spoke, the knife in her hand suddenly moved closer to the rope on Yanbao!

"My biggest regret is that I left this bastard to fend for himself back then! If I had known, I would have strangled him to death directly! Maybe everything would be different now! But fortunately, it's not too late... Now, I will finish him off with my own hands! Let you watch with your own eyes how he dies!"

Having said that—she suddenly raised her hand and cut the rope on Yanbao!

"Yanbao!!!"

Jiang Baobao screamed, rushing out with an almost impossible speed!

At the same time—"Whoosh!"

An anesthetic needle flew out from the third-floor corridor, striking Liu Rumeng's thigh precisely!

She froze for a moment, widened her eyes in disbelief, and turned to look toward the corridor.

Yet, her vision couldn't help but become increasingly blurred.

A group of men dressed in black ran out from the room and tied Liu Rumeng up.

Downstairs—Jiang Baobao had fallen to the ground, her eyes tightly shut, but she held Yanbao firmly in her arms, refusing to let go, her whole body trembling.

"Baobao? Baobao? You caught Yanbao... you can let go now... Baobao?"

Li Beijue coaxed Jiang Baobao softly, his eyes filled only with heartache.

In that instant just now, he had also rushed out, and he had been closer to where Yanbao fell.

But...

Jiang Baobao had been faster.

He didn't know what kind of speed that was, but he knew it was all because of her maternal love for Yanbao.

Maternal love needs no explanation.

Jiang Baobao was icy cold, her mind a blank, with only one thought remaining—must catch Yanbao!!!

Li Beijue dared not act rashly.

He looked down and saw that although Yanbao was still tied up, he was nestled obediently in Jiang Baobao's arms, his big eyes still looking at him as if to say not to worry, which made him feel slightly more at ease.

Yanbao didn't seem to have been too frightened...

Let him be wronged for a little while longer, and let Baobao hold him...

Two minutes later, Jiang Baobao slowly opened her eyes, her face already deathly pale.

"Baobao?"

Seeing that she had finally regained her composure, Li Beijue hurriedly pulled her into his arms with heartache and quickly gave a look to Chen Xi, who had been standing to the side for a long time.

Chen Xi immediately stepped forward, carefully pulled Jiang Baobao's arms apart, took out Yanbao, whom she had been holding for so long, and quickly had someone untie him.

"Yanbao..."

Jiang Baobao's expression still looked a bit dazed.

"Baobao, Yanbao is fine now. You saved him, don't be afraid..."

Li Beijue comforted her with heartache, gently kissing her forehead.

Jiang Baobao looked at the unharmed Yanbao before her and nodded gently. She wanted to stand up, but found she had no strength, and her arms were aching terribly.

"Don't move around. The impact of catching him just now was very strong. After we go back, I'll have someone check if your arms are okay..."

As Li Beijue spoke, he saw that the now-freed Yanbao was already walking toward them.

Jiang Baobao's eyes lit up, and not knowing where the strength came from, she suddenly sat up and pulled Yanbao into her arms.

"Yanbao, I'm sorry. Mommy came late, and Mommy didn't protect you well..."

Jiang Baobao was streaming with tears, holding the little one in her arms tightly; she simply dared not imagine what the scene would be like now if she hadn't caught him just a moment ago.

"Mommy, I'm fine, you don't need to worry."

Yanbao still had that calm tone, and while he spoke, he kissed Jiang Baobao on the face.

Jiang Baobao's tears flowed even more fiercely, and then she saw a long fingernail mark on his little face, so she hurriedly asked with heartache: "How did you get hurt on your face? Did she hit you?"

"No."

Yanbao shook his head: "She scratched me with her fingernail, and then tied me up upstairs."

Yanbao still answered clearly and logically.

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao only felt heartache: "Alright, let's not talk about it. After we go back, Mommy will coax you to sleep, and then we will forget everything about today, okay?"

"Mm."

Yanbao nodded obediently and didn't speak again.

Li Beijue looked at the little one before him, but he was somewhat lost in thought.

Yanbao was too calm...

His current state... why was it so like... another personality that hadn't appeared for a long time!!!
