Chapter 580: Alone, I rush to the appointment!

On the other side, Su Zhiyuan drove a Ferrari wildly through the night.

She gripped the steering wheel tightly, her palms whitening from force, tears like broken beads rolling down her cheeks and blurring her vision.

Fear, worry, and helplessness instantly overwhelmed Su Zhiyuan.

She had never experienced such a brutal scene in her life.

Su Zhiyuan trembled as she freed a hand, fished out her phone from her bag, and her shaking fingertips searched for Lin Yuan's number on the screen.

The moment the call connected, Su Zhiyuan could no longer hold back and burst into tears……

Su Zhiyuan's voice choked, almost out of tune: "Lin Yuan……sob……my mom……my mom's in trouble……"

At that moment, Lin Yuan lay on the bed, dazed.

He heard Su Zhiyuan's heart-wrenching sobs……

On the other end of the line, Lin Yuan instantly sobered, his tone urgent and grave: "Zhiyuan? Don't panic! Speak slowly, what happened?"

"There……a group of mysterious people broke into my family villa……" Su Zhiyuan said between sobs, her words fragmented, "They took my mom……only I escaped by car……sob……Lin Yuan, what should I do……"

Su Zhiyuan's sobs were full of despair, making Lin Yuan's heart clench instantly on the other end of the call.

On the call, Lin Yuan took a deep breath, his tone grave as he soothed: "Zhiyuan, don't panic first! Listen to me, come to my house right away—you know the address! Stay safe on the road, don't look back, and don't let anyone follow you!"

"Okay……okay……" Su Zhiyuan replied through her sobs, then hung up.

She fiercely wiped away her tears, gritted her teeth, pressed the accelerator, and sped toward Lin Yuan's house.

……

More than half an hour later, the Ferrari braked sharply and stopped in front of Lin Yuan's residential complex.

Su Zhiyuan pushed open the car door, almost stumbling as she rushed into the hallway and rang Lin Yuan's doorbell.

As soon as the door opened, she lunged into Lin Yuan's arms like finding a lifeline and burst into loud sobs.

Su Zhiyuan's shoulders shuddered violently: "Lin Yuan……I'm so scared……my mom……"

Lin Yuan gently patted her back, his expression grave.

Lin Yuan's tone, however, carried reassurance: "It's okay, it's okay, don't cry first—you're safe now."

In the rain, one could clearly feel the fear of the person in one's arms.

At the same time, Lin Yuan's worry for Su Monong grew stronger and stronger in his heart.

After settling Su Zhiyuan down, Lin Yuan immediately took out his phone and called Mu Lingxue, briefly explained the situation, and urged her to come to his house right away.

Within ten minutes, Mu Lingxue arrived with two officers.

Mu Lingxue saw Su Zhiyuan curled up on the sofa, eyes red and swollen, and her gaze darkened.

Mu Lingxue walked to Lin Yuan's side and said softly: "After receiving the report, we immediately sent people to Su Monong's villa; the scene was in chaos, the surveillance was completely destroyed, Ms. Su Monong was not on site, and we preliminarily judged she had been kidnapped."

"Sure enough, it's a kidnapping." Lin Yuan's face grew even graver, his fingertips slightly curling, "The enemy's target is clear—they're after Su Monong."

Combining the earlier movements of the Thunder Tiger Gate, Lin Yuan could almost certainly conclude that this matter was likely tied to Lei Chen Zhou.

"Rest assured, I've already had people block off the surrounding roads and will immediately deploy the Sky Net System and all available police forces to thoroughly investigate the surveillance; we will surely locate Ms. Su Monong as soon as possible." Mu Lingxue said firmly.

Immediately, Mu Lingxue turned and gave a few instructions to the officers beside her, telling them to go coordinate the deployment right away.

Upon hearing the two words "kidnapping," Su Zhiyuan cried even harder.

She clutched Lin Yuan's arm tightly, her voice trembling: "Lin Yuan, please save my mom……"

"Rest assured, I will definitely rescue General Manager Su safely." Lin Yuan whispered reassurance to her, his eyes revealing an unquestionable firmness.

Mu Lingxue looked at the emotionally unstable Su Zhiyuan.

Mu Lingxue said to Lin Yuan: "I'll stay here to keep Miss Su company; you can go handle other matters, and I'll inform you immediately of any news."

Lin Yuan nodded in agreement: "Thank you for the trouble."

Just then, a sharp phone ring suddenly rang—it was Lin Yuan's phone.

The ringing broke the heavy atmosphere in the room.

Lin Yuan furrowed his brow and lowered his gaze to his phone on the table.

When he saw the name on the caller ID, Lin Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

The note on the caller ID number was, shockingly, "Su Monong"!

Su Monong?!

Lin Yuan's heart sank sharply, his eyes instantly turning sharp.

Su Monong was clearly kidnapped—how could she suddenly call him?

Was it the kidnappers using her phone to call?

Or……was there some other change?

Mu Lingxue and Su Zhiyuan beside him also noticed the caller ID.

Su Zhiyuan instantly stopped crying, her beautiful eyes fixed tightly on Lin Yuan's phone.

Su Zhiyuan's voice urgent with a hint of hope: "It……it's my mom's call!"

Lin Yuan raised his hand to signal the two to be quiet.

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, pressed the answer button, quietly turned on speakerphone, and said in a low voice: "Hello?"

On the other end, there was no familiar voice of Su Monong; instead came a hoarse, grating male voice tinged with mockery: "You're Lin Yuan, right?"

Lin Yuan's eyes instantly sharpened, his aura suddenly turning cold.

Lin Yuan gripped the phone and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you? What have you done to Su Monong?"

"Who are we?" the hoarse man drew out his tone, his voice full of sinister amusement, "You don't know? With your intelligence, you should have guessed by now, heh heh heh……"

On the call, that strange laughter sounded like fingernails scraping glass, making one feel uncomfortable all over.

Lin Yuan's pupils narrowed slightly; combining the earlier movements of the Thunder Tiger Gate, he almost without hesitation spat out three words, word by word: "Thunder Tiger Gate."

"Exactly!" On the call, the hoarse man's laughter grew even more arrogant, "We are the Thunder Tiger Gate. Su Monong is currently in our hands, alive and well."

The hoarse-voiced man's tone shifted, turning threatening: "If you want her alive, come alone—right now to Hangcheng outskirts Ancient Mound Road No. 107."

After a pause, the hoarse-voiced man intensified his tone warning: "Remember, only you may come! No calling the police, no contacting any outside help! If we discover you're playing tricks, or if a second person shows up, we'll immediately kill Su Monong, so you'll never see her again!"

"Okay! I'm coming right away!" Lin Yuan agreed without thinking, he said coldly: "I warn you, before I arrive, you must not touch Su Monong a single finger! I need to confirm Su Monong is safe right now!"

"What's the rush?" the hoarse-voiced man gave an evil laugh: "You want to confirm she's okay? No problem—then let you hear her voice."

From the other end of the phone came Su Monong's terrified, sobbing voice, broken yet crystal clear: "Lin Yuan… don't come… absolutely don't come… they're a trap…"

Before her words finished, a muffled "mmph" sound came through—clearly Su Monong's mouth had been covered.

"Director Su!" Lin Yuan's heart clenched, his eyes instantly turning blood‑red.

Cold anger intertwined, making Lin Yuan's breathing heavy!

Lin Yuan shouted into the phone: "Director Su, don't be afraid—I'm coming to save you right away!"

From the other end came the hoarse-voiced man's impatient voice: "Cut the talk—get here within half an hour, or you'll bear the consequences!"

After he said that, the other end … "click"—the phone hung up.

Lin Yuan clenched the phone tight, veins bulging on his forehead.

He turned sharply… and rushed toward the door.

"Lin Yuan!" Mu Lingxue saw this, immediately hurried after him and grabbed his arm.

Mu Lingxue's voice urgent and grave: "You really intend to go alone? This is obviously the enemy's trap!"

Lin Yuan forcefully broke free of her grip, his eyes cold: "Su Monong is in their hands—I have no choice!"

"I know you're worried about Su Monong, but you can't act rashly!" Mu Lingxue stepped in front of him, her tone firmer, carrying unquestionable authority: "Listen to my order—don't act rashly for now! I'll immediately mobilize police forces; subsequent actions will follow my command. Let's work together to rescue Su Monong!"

Lin Yuan's eyes cold, his tone unyielding: "No time to wait for police deployment! You wait for my news—I'll go alone first, rescue Su Monong, then we'll talk!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yuan sidestepped Mu Lingxue and strode rapidly downstairs.

Mu Lingxue watched his hurried back, stamping her feet in anxiety.

However, Mu Lingxue also understood Lin Yuan's concern…

Every second Su Monong spends in the kidnappers' hands adds to her danger.

Mu Lingxue immediately took out her phone, while hurrying back inside to calm the shaken Su Zhiyuan, she issued a solemn order: "All units, note: immediately lock onto the Ancient Mound Road No. 107 area in Hangcheng outskirts; all personnel assemble urgently, covertly rush to the target location to provide support, remain silent throughout, no exposing your position!"

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan sprinted down the stairs, flung open the car door, slid into the driver's seat, and slammed the accelerator.

The white Tesla Model S's engine roared, shooting out of the complex like an arrow released from its bow, speeding toward the Ancient Mound Road in Hangcheng outskirts…

In the night, the car's headlights cut through the darkness, speed surging to 250 kilometers per hour!

Lin Yuan gripped the steering wheel tightly, his eyes blood‑red, Su Monong's terrified voice filling his mind, he pressed the accelerator harder.

Wind poured in through the window cracks, bringing the night's chill, yet it could not dispel the anxiety in Lin Yuan's heart.

In the darkness, Lin Yuan kept overtaking, pushing the speed to its limit; streetlights and trees along the way blurred backward, forming streaks of light and shadow.

……

Twenty minutes later, the white Tesla Model S finally arrived at Ancient Mound Road No. 107.

This is an abandoned factory…

The surroundings were desolate, with only a few broken streetlights flickering weakly, casting the factory's outline in an especially gloomy light.

Lin Yuan hesitated not at all, driving straight into the factory gate.

The car stopped in the factory's empty courtyard, the engine noise gradually fading.

Lin Yuan opened the car door and stepped out, his gaze quickly sweeping the surroundings—yet he found the entire factory empty, only the wind moaning through the ruined buildings, making it especially eerie.

"Thunder Tiger Gate scum! Get out here!" Lin Yuan's brows knit, he roared at the empty factory~!

His voice echoed in the silent surroundings, but drew no reply.
