Chapter 900: I Won't Allow Anything to Happen to You

Li Xiao's gaze flickered for an instant, his usually clear-headed brain uncharacteristically stalling for a moment.

After a long while, he finally replied in a low voice: "I will have people look for her."

On the other end of the phone, Mu Liusu's breathing also hitched.

Indeed, at the moment, aside from mobilizing everyone to dig up any trace of clues, there really was no better way.

"Tell me the moment there is any news."

Mu Liusu left behind this final sentence and hung up directly.

Li Xiao also put down his phone and quickly ordered: "Go check all vehicles that passed by the Hospital's entrances and exits during that time frame, including ambulances. Any suspicious details must be investigated thoroughly..."

"Ambulances... I will notify them again!"

Laoqi paused upon hearing this, immediately turned his head to pick up his phone again, and swiftly sent out the message to find her.

Li Xiao stood in place with a dark expression, countless possibilities flashing through his mind.

Where was she most likely taken?

He had recently kept the few places where Linke might appear under strict guard, yet he hadn't discovered any traces of him at all...

"Shura, everything has been ordered."

Laoqi finished his call, returned to Li Xiao's side, and waited for further instructions.

Li Xiao only nodded silently.

After a long while, he said in a deep voice: "Let's go back first."

Having said that, he turned and walked toward the door.

Yet his heart felt as if it were being fiercely gripped by an invisible giant hand, making it almost impossible to breathe.

But for now, besides waiting, there was nothing else to do but wait.

Soon, the two of them returned to the villa.

Immediately upon entering the door, they ran into everyone waiting in the living room.

Luo Wanwan was among them; the moment she saw Li Xiao, she asked with a panicked face: "Li Xiao, was Xiao Tang kidnapped? What exactly happened? Who did it?"

Li Xiao's footsteps faltered; he hadn't expected her to know about this, but then he suddenly realized.

Laoqi must have told Lao Wu and the others about Cai Xiaotang's disappearance, so naturally, Luo Wanwan would know too.

If he had specifically instructed them to keep it a secret from her, it would only have aroused suspicion from others.

However...

Xiao Tang's disappearance... could it have something to do with her?

A dark glint flashed fiercely in the depths of Li Xiao's eyes, and his gaze subconsciously swept toward Luo Wanwan, looking somewhat sharp.

Did Luo Wanwan really have the guts to do such a thing?

Even if he already knew her intentions, she should also understand his temper.

If Cai Xiaotang was unharmed, once he found out who the mastermind was, he would absolutely not let them off!

If Cai Xiaotang was harmed...

Li Xiao took a deep breath; just thinking of that possibility made his fingertips tremble uncontrollably.

Then, he suddenly felt his phone vibrate violently!

Li Xiao's eyes lit up; he pulled it out almost instantly and opened it quickly.

The others saw this and hurriedly crowded around.

They then saw an unread message on it, displaying a video less than ten seconds long.

Li Xiao subconsciously held his breath and lightly tapped the screen with his finger.

The next second—his gaze suddenly froze.

Within the dim light of the video, Cai Xiaotang was lying quietly on something that looked like a hospital bed.

Her breathing was very steady; she seemed to be asleep.

Aside from that, there were no other signs of injury on her body, and she did not appear to have been subjected to any violent treatment.

Throughout the entire video, the camera was focused almost entirely on Cai Xiaotang, making it impossible to see the surrounding environment at all.

Looking at the number that sent the message, it was indeed a string of garbled, processed characters.

Li Xiao's fingers clenched tightly; he almost couldn't control his emotions and nearly smashed his phone onto the floor!

"Shura... this is likely a virtual number. Should we track it?

"

Lao Wu asked in a low voice.

"Track it."

Li Xiao threw out the word in a deep voice and tossed his phone to Lao Wu.

Then, he lifted his feet and walked toward the stairs.

The others followed immediately.

Except for Lao Wu, everyone gathered in Li Xiao's study.

As soon as they entered, Luo Wanwan asked with an anxious face: "Li Xiao, how could Xiao Tang be kidnapped suddenly? What is the other party's goal? Does she usually...

... have any enemies she offended? Or is it for money?"

She speculated on various possibilities, appearing very concerned about Cai Xiaotang.

Li Xiao, however, snorted coldly and gritted his teeth: "Neither. The other side is likely doing this because of me."

"Because of you..."

Luo Wanwan put on an expression of surprise again, though she was already hating him to the core inside.

That madman Linke!

They actually dared to make a move on Cai Xiaotang!

Li Xiao will definitely agree to the conditions Linke set in order to save her!

And Linke won't let him off either!

"Shura, we have already had people check the surveillance, but so far, we haven't found any useful information. We have also checked the ambulances that entered and exited during that time period, and they were all normal patient transfers..."

Lao San suddenly spoke up to report.

Li Xiao nodded, his face showing a rare irritability, and his entire being was filled with malevolence.

It was his fault.

He thought that as long as Xiao Tang stayed at the Mu Family, nothing would happen to her.

Even if she went out, Mu Liusu would send people to protect her.

But he never expected that it was precisely because of this that Linke's people were able to find an opening!

If they could take someone away from the Hospital, it meant—Li Xiao's expression suddenly turned stern as he realized something.

"You all go out first."

He waved his hand.

"Yes."

Lao San and the others immediately turned around. Luo Wanwan looked at Li Xiao as if she had something to say, but in the end, she didn't say anything more and turned to leave with the others.

Once the door was closed, Li Xiao quickly dialed a number.

Soon, the call was answered.

Li Xiao got straight to the point: "Beijue, I have something to tell you. You need to move Jiang Baobao to a different Hospital immediately. I will give you an address, and you are to take her there directly."

"Change hospitals? What happened?"

On the other end of the line, Li Beijue immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Li Xiao pondered for two seconds before deciding to tell the truth.

"Xiao Tang has been kidnapped; she was taken from that Hospital. You all are likely being watched as well. I am sending people to meet you now to take you to a safe Hospital. As for Jiang Baobao... her body hasn't recovered yet, so just find some excuse, say... that I took Xiao Tang abroad for a vacation to ease our relationship, and tell her not to worry for the time being."

"Kidnapped..."

Li Beijue hadn't expected such a thing to happen either. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately said: "Do you need my hel—"

"You don't need to do anything."

Li Xiao knew what Li Beijue wanted to say and interrupted him directly:

"You just need to do as I say and protect yourself and Jiang Baobao."

"

"Alright..."

Hearing the seriousness in his tone, Li Beijue also sensed that the situation was unusual and said no more.

"Mm, then I'm hanging up."

Li Xiao hung up the phone and threw it onto the table, listening to the clock ticking in his ear, each second feeling as long as a century.

The next second—the study door was suddenly pushed open!

Lao Wu rushed in, holding Li Xiao's phone!

"Shura! The other party has sent another message!"
