Chapter 92: Critical Moment, A Hair's Breadth Away

The atmosphere in the study was somewhat frozen.

Jiang Baobao was worried to death and hurriedly asked, "What did they say on the phone? What other demands do they have?"

Li Beijue did not speak; he let out a cold snort and stood up.

He questioned in a cold tone, "They said they wanted me to bring the money there in person. I am actually quite curious, why would they think they have captured my son?"

Jiang Baobao's heart skipped a beat, and for a moment, she did not know how to explain.

Li Beijue, however, had little patience and directly called for Zheng Bo, who had been guarding outside the door.

"Have someone prepare the car; I have something to go out for."

Zheng Bo responded quickly and turned to leave.

Li Beijue grabbed his suit jacket and strode toward the door.

When he passed by Jiang Baobao, his footsteps stopped abruptly, and he said indifferently, "Remember what you promised me; you had better roll back abroad tomorrow!"

After saying this, he turned and left without looking back.

Jiang Baobao immediately lifted her feet to follow.

The two arrived downstairs, but as soon as they opened the car door, they discovered that a little fellow was already sitting in the back.

"Yanbao? Why are you here?"

Jiang Baobao was given a huge fright.

Li Beijue's face also darkened instantly, and he directly reprimanded, "Yanbao! Get out of the car!"

Yanbao blinked his eyes, still feeling angry inside, so he deliberately ignored Li Beijue's words and spoke directly to Jiang Baobao, "Mommy, I am also very worried about Mobai. Will you let me go with you? I promise not to get out of the car!"

Jiang Baobao's expression hesitated for a moment.

Watching time pass second by second, she did not say anything more and got directly into the car.

Li Beijue felt a breath stuck in his chest, but he did not delay any longer and turned to get into the car.

The pier was some distance from the city center; if they drove faster, an hour would be just enough to arrive.

Jiang Baobao kept her heart hanging the entire way.

Yanbao also did not dare to relax in the slightest, his large eyes staring tightly out the car window.

Not long after, the sea appeared before their eyes.

Li Beijue's phone rang immediately.

While driving, he casually pressed the speakerphone.

A reporting voice immediately sounded inside the car: "President Li, the port here has been abandoned. The two kidnappers are hiding on an old boat on the shore. The hostage was just put into a large travel bag. Our men have already flanked from the back. Now is not the best time; I am afraid we must wait for you to arrive and negotiate with the other party to make them relax before it will be good to move in and save the person."

Li Beijue nodded and replied, "Mm, is the cash ready?"

The other party answered, "The amount the kidnappers demanded is too massive. We have prepared a portion, and the rest is on a card."

"Good." Li Beijue felt reassured and casually hung up the phone.

Ahead, the port pier was already in sight.

Jiang Baobao's palms were full of cold sweat; hearing that Mobai had been put into a travel bag made her heart ache like it was being twisted by a knife.

The next second, Li Beijue performed a drift, parking the car directly in the dark corner.

A few hundred meters further ahead was the transaction location agreed upon by the kidnappers.

Jiang Baobao got out of the car, looking into the distance with unease, and then her peripheral vision caught Assistant Chen walking over with a large bag.

"President Li, here are the earpieces to contact the others and part of the cash. I will accompany you over."

Li Beijue waved his hand indifferently and said, "No need, the other party only told me to go alone."

As he spoke, he casually took the money, put on the earpiece, and turned his head to look at Jiang Baobao.

Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for a moment, and she whispered, "You... be careful, pay attention to safety, and I also beg you to bring Mobai back safely..."

Li Beijue did not appreciate it and let out a cold snort.

Then he warned for the last time, "Jiang Baobao, let me remind you one more time: remember what you promised me today!"

He dropped that sentence and walked away without hesitation.

Jiang Baobao watched his back, her mood complex and subtle.

Li Beijue carried the bag full of money alone and arrived at Number Three Port.

A two-story speedboat was docked there, looking like it had seen better days.

As soon as he walked over, he saw a man wearing a mask emerge from it.

"Li Beijue, you actually really came alone?"

The man's voice was hoarse, and his greedy gaze fell on the bag in his hand; his expression changed abruptly.

"Why is there so little money? Do you not want your son's life anymore!"

Li Beijue lowered his eyes and scanned the bag in his hand.

The other party should be targeting him... it's just that...

He vaguely felt that something was wrong with this matter, but he had no time to think too much.

Li Beijue pondered for two seconds, then simply threw the bag in his hand onto the ground and opened the zipper.

"Do you know how much space five hundred million in cash would take up here, and how much it would weigh?"

He asked unhurriedly, opening the zipper of the handbag completely to let the people on the boat see clearly the money stuffed inside.

The people above were indeed stunned for a moment, seemingly stumped by his question.

Li Beijue heard a voice speaking in his earpiece.

"President Li, our men are about to climb onto the boat. Please stall the person who is talking to you!"

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment, and seeing that the person above did not speak, he continued, "You gave a limited amount of time; even if I really brought five hundred million in cash, you wouldn't be able to carry it away. You can take this bag directly, and the rest..."

As he spoke, he slowly took out a card from his pocket.

"All the remaining money is inside, but you have to let me confirm first whether the child is still alive."

The man above hesitated for a moment.

He pondered for two seconds, bent down to pick up the travel bag placed by his feet, unzipped it a little, and held it up.

"See it now? Now come up yourself and hand over the money and the bank card!"

Li Beijue frowned, and sure enough, he saw a pair of slender, fair little legs in the bag, with a pair of small sneakers still on the feet.

It was indeed a little boy.

Immediately after, a voice came through the earpiece again.

"Mr. Li, we are ready to move on our end!"

As soon as the words fell, a sudden commotion erupted on the boat!

The man who had just been talking to Li Beijue was suddenly grabbed by the neck from behind!

Li Beijue's men instantly subdued him and reached out to snatch the bag from his hands.

"Let go!" Two bodyguards tried hard to pry open the kidnapper's fingers.

But for some reason, his strength was surprisingly great; he gripped the travel bag tightly and reached his hand directly inside to choke Mobai's neck!

"Get lost! Otherwise, I'll choke this brat to death!" he threatened viciously, a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes.

The two bodyguards immediately dared not act rashly.

The man sneered, retreated two steps in satisfaction, and leaned against the ship's railing.

Why...

He had meticulously planned for so long...

Why was it so easily ambushed by Li Beijue!

His eyes were filled with unwillingness, and he suddenly roared: "Li Beijue! I will make you regret this for the rest of your life!"

After saying that, he swung his arm and threw the travel bag out!

Li Beijue's breathing stopped for an instant.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Baobao's blood also froze in an instant!

"Mobai!!!"

She screamed and rushed directly toward Li Beijue's direction.
