Baby Chi cried himself into gasping breaths, and Li Beijue squatted down to pick him up, awkwardly comforting him.
After all, he was just a five-year-old child. He had worried all through the night and had cried bitterly, and it wasnât long before his physical strength couldnât keep up. His eyelids began to fight to stay open, and under Li Beijueâs comforting, he soon fell into a deep sleep.
But even in his dreams, he seemed extremely unsettled, furrowing his tiny brows and tossing and turning on the bed.
Li Beijue stood silently beside the bed for a while, then bent over to tuck him in before turning off the light and heading to the balcony of the living room, where he took out his mobile phone.
âHowâs it going? Did you find anything?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âNo, Qin Nan said Miss Chi hasnât called her, nor has she sent her any news. Doctor Han and the nurses said the same thing, that Miss Chi left the hospital an hour ago. She didnât seem too upset before leaving, and she didnât mention going anywhere.â
âWhat I want to hear is not this. You have ten minutes. In ten minutes, I want a definite piece of news!â
If that woman really hid on purpose because she quarreled with him,
when he found her, he would pin her down to the bed and make sure she couldnât get out of bed for three days and three nights!
If it was for another reasonâ¦
Li Beijue clenched his fist, with an impending storm in his eyes!
Ten minutes later, Huo Yiâs phone call came through again. Li Beijue immediately picked it up, âDid you find her?â
Huo Yi truly didnât know how to tell him. He was afraid that if he did, Master Jue would go mad!
His silence was undoubtedly excruciating for Li Beijue!
Li Beijueâs face darkened with irritation and aggression. He kicked over the clothes rack on the balcony and shouted, âSpeak!â
âWe found out, Master Jue. Miss Chi has been kidnapped. She was taken by two men, and their whereabouts are currently unknown.â
ââMaster Jue, Miss Chi has been kidnapped, and her whereabouts are unknown.
ââKidnapped, whereabouts unknown!
Li Beijueâs face turned cycles of green and black, finally settling on a dark iron hue. His falcon-like eyes were fraught with a storm, the oppressive haze reaching its peak.
âFind her! I need you to know her whereabouts immediately, right now! If you canât find out, you can pack up and go to Country Y for coal mining!â
âYes, Master Jue.â
Huo Yi immediately arranged for people to investigate.
Li Beijue paced back and forth on the balcony a few times with a stern face, then dialed Huo Leitingâs phone, âLei Ting, help me out. I need to find someone, uh⦠itâs her⦠Iâll send you the photoâ¦â
For a moment, the entire Capital City was in turmoil!
The sounds of police sirens and car horns enveloped the skies over Capital City.
Meanwhile, a Jeep ripped off the fake plate number covering its license plate and passed through the highway checkpoint of Capital City, heading towards Rainy Cityâ¦
â¦
In the Gu household of Rainy City, Gu Qiaoâan hung up the phone and walked into the living room with a smiling face.
Gu Qiaomei was waiting for him. Seeing him coming out, she hurriedly greeted him, rarely showing the coy demeanor of a young girl, grabbed his arm, and called out, âBrother.â
Gu Qiaoâan had always cherished his younger sister the most. Back when Qiaomei insisted on marrying Chi Jianguo, who was then a poor young man, he verbally disapproved, but behind the scenes, he secretly helped her with a substantial amount of money behind their late father, Father Gu. It was with the money he gave to Qiaomei that Chi Jianguo managed to earn his first pot of gold, gradually building up Chi Corporation.
âDonât worry, Iâve talked to my old classmate. Xiao Yaâs issue has been resolved. At the trial, heâll declare that Xiao Ya is sentenced to two yearsâ imprisonment with a three-year suspension. Rest assured, a suspended sentence essentially means she canât leave the country. Once this storm blows over, Iâll have him reduce her sentence. Xiao Ya wonât go to jail.â
