~7 min read 1,334 words

Jiang Baobao was fuming with anger; she quickly tidied up and prepared to head out.

But just as she reached the door, she heard her phone ring.

She glanced at it, saw it was a call from the kindergarten teacher, and hurriedly answered.

Before she could even speak, she heard the teacher on the other end say urgently, "Mobai's mother, Mobai is missing!"

"What?" Jiang Baobao's heart instantly leaped into her throat, and her mind went blank.

"What do you mean he's missing?"

Jiang Baobao ran toward the door as she spoke.

Teacher Sun couldn't explain it clearly either, and could only answer anxiously, "I don't know what happened either, you should come over quickly!"

"Alright, I understand!" Jiang Baobao said, already having gotten into her car, speeding rapidly in the direction of the kindergarten.

Not long after, she arrived at the kindergarten entrance.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly ran out of the car and went straight to the teachers' office area.

Just as she pushed open the office door, she heard Tiantian's crying.

"Sob... Teacher Sun, why hasn't Mommy come yet... sob..."

"Tiantian!"

Jiang Baobao felt heartbroken; she immediately strode inside and pulled the little girl into her arms.

Tiantian had already cried until her face was a mess; she immediately threw herself into Jiang Baobao's arms and said intermittently, "Mommy, Brother... Brother was taken away by bad people!"

"Bad people? What happened?" Jiang Baobao's brows were tightly locked, and her brain was buzzing.

Tiantian shook her head, wiped away her tears, and then forced herself to say through her sobbing: "Just now when school ended, Brother said he wanted to go to the restroom and told me to go to the kindergarten gate to wait for Mommy first... I went with Teacher Sun, and then... Brother never came back, so I went to look... Other children told me they saw two strange uncles put Brother into a big bag and take him away... sob..."

As the little girl spoke, she couldn't help but cry again.

Jiang Baobao was confused and hurriedly looked up at Teacher Sun standing to the side.

Teacher Sun hurriedly explained: "Mobai's mother, we called the police as soon as we received the news. We just went to investigate and found that the surveillance camera at the back wall of the kindergarten had been intentionally damaged. No one wanted this to happen. The police will be here in a moment and may need you to provide clues, for example... do you have any enemies from the past? After all, the other party actually came into the kindergarten to abduct Mobai..."

Jiang Baobao listened in silence, nodded heavily, took a deep breath, and felt as if her heart were burning with anxiety.

She had only just returned not long ago; how could she have any enemies?

If she had to say...

Jiang Baobao clenched her fists tightly, and her heart suddenly sank.

Could it be that Li Beijue did it?

Did he discover Mobai's existence?

That's why he was so forceful in having him taken back!

But when did he find out?

Jiang Baobao's mind was suddenly a tangled mess.

Just at this moment...

"Buzz—!"

Her phone ringtone suddenly began to vibrate frantically.

Jiang Baobao was startled and answered the phone without thinking.

Immediately after, she heard a low, hoarse voice from the other end of the line.

"Li Beijue, your son is in my hands! You have three hours to bring five hundred million in cash to Number Three Port at Jinwan Wharf! Otherwise, I'll take this little brat's life!"

After the person bluntly dropped this sentence, they hung up the phone without hesitation!

His voice sounded a bit strange, as if he had used a voice changer.

Jiang Baobao stood frozen on the spot.

The man's voice had been loud, and the office was quiet, so Tiantian had also heard the content of the call and burst into tears.

"Sob... Mommy! What should we do! Are the bad people going to kill Brother? I don't want Brother to die! Mommy, please think of a way to save Brother, sob..."

"Tiantian, don't cry, Mommy will definitely find a way..."

Jiang Baobao felt deep anxiety and tried hard to soothe the little girl in her arms.

After thinking for only two seconds, she stood up abruptly.

"Teacher Sun, please deal with the police for me for a moment; I'm going to find someone to help."

Jiang Baobao left the sentence behind and turned to leave, trying to organize the sequence of events in her mind.

The person they were looking for was Li Beijue.

So... their target was Yanbao!

But they had mistakenly abducted Mobai!

Her own phone number must have been given to them by Mobai!

But how could they have made a mistake?

Jiang Baobao frowned slightly, and in a flash of insight, she suddenly thought of something.

It was that person who asked for directions yesterday!

It must be him!

Jiang Baobao quickly took Tiantian to the car; her mind was a mess, but she had already made a decision.

She took out her phone and found a familiar number.

She stared at the number on the screen for two seconds, then pressed it directly!

If she wanted to rescue Mobai as quickly as possible, only Li Beijue could do it!

Even if this would expose his identity!

"Beep—"

A busy signal came from the phone.

A thin layer of sweat welled up on Jiang Baobao's palms.

Yet, no one answered for a long time.

She refused to give up and dialed again.

It was still the same as before.

After three or four calls in a row went unanswered, Jiang Baobao slammed her hand against the steering wheel in anger.

Is Li Beijue doing this on purpose?

Thinking of their previous argument, Jiang Baobao felt a bit uneasy, but she did not want to give up.

She recalled for a moment, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

She then quickly entered a string of numbers on her phone and dialed.

That was the landline number for the living room of Li Mansion.

Jiang Baobao pressed her lips together tightly, listening to the sound on the phone...

Li Beijue, I beg you, please answer the phone!

She prayed incessantly in her heart.

The next second, she finally heard the phone being picked up.

"Hello? Who is this?" Zheng Bo's voice came from the other end of the line.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly said, "Zheng Bo! It's Jiang Baobao. Is Li Beijue home? I have something urgent to talk to him about!"

"Miss Jiang, this..." Zheng Bo was in a difficult position.

Li Beijue had already given orders that no one in Li Mansion was allowed to have any contact with Jiang Baobao again.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly added, "Zheng Bo, I really have an emergency. If Li Beijue doesn't come, he will regret it for the rest of his life!"

Zheng Bo was stunned upon hearing this; hearing that Jiang Baobao did not seem to be joking, he could only say helplessly, "The young master is in the study upstairs. Please wait a moment, Miss Jiang."

Zheng Bo put down the phone and turned to go upstairs.

In the study, Li Beijue tossed his phone aside, turning a blind eye to the missed calls on it.

Immediately after, he saw Zheng Bo walk in from outside.

"Young master, Miss Jiang is on the phone..."

"Don't answer," Li Beijue interrupted coldly.

Zheng Bo was choked up.

Thinking of Jiang Baobao's anxious tone, he still bit the bullet and said, "Miss Jiang said she has something very important to tell you, and if you miss it, you might regret it..."

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for an instant, and he lowered his eyes to glance at the phone again.

It was full of missed calls from Jiang Baobao.

After pondering for a long while, he stood up and strode out of the study.

He wanted to see what other tricks that woman could play!
