"Mr. Mu, should we call the police?" the property manager asked hurriedly.
"No need."
Dropping these words, Mu Cidian quickly left.
He was making a call as he walked.
The call connected, "Any ideas?"
"Mr. Ji, I need your help with sothing."
Ji Baijian slightly raised his eyebrows, able to detect the suppressed tension in Mu Cidian’s voice, "Go ahead."
"My daughter has been taken by soone, and the situation is very dangerous. I need your help to retrieve Jin City’s traffic surveillance videos. The license plate is Jin B5634."
"Okay."
"Thank you."
The call ended on the other side.
Mu Cidian dialed another number.
"Mu Cidian..."
"Yin Qin." In stark contrast to Yin Qin’s carefree tone, Mu Cidian’s voice was noticeably more serious. "I will send you an address soon. Find Mr. and Mrs. Lei Qiang for . I need you to kidnap them."
Mu Cidian’s words were crystal clear.
"What happened?" Yin Qin imdiately beca serious.
"My daughter was kidnapped and it involved Lei Qian, Lei Qiang’s daughter. That’s it for now, go and find them imdiately."
"Alright." Yin Qin didn’t ask further.
He knew how much pain and pressure Mu Cidian must have been enduring to speak so calmly at this mont.
Mu Cidian hung up the phone.
His hand, the one that put down the phone, was trembling slightly.
He quickly headed towards the garage and drove out in his car.
He knew that Ji Baijian had a powerful background and great capabilities, but he couldn’t wait a second longer.
Even if there was only a thousandth of a chance, he wouldn’t let it go.
Therefore, he must go out and search himself.
Give his utmost best to find her.
He had just driven out of the garage.
Xin Zaozao also had her driver take her ho. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Mu Cidian’s car coming out of the garage. Without thinking, she threw herself in front of his car.
Mu Cidian hit the brakes.
Xin Zaozao directly opened the door and jumped into the passenger seat, "Have you found Wanwan yet?"
"Not yet, I’m going out to search for her now."
"Where are you going to look?!" Xin Zaozao’s eyes were red and her voice was loud.
"Don’t worry, I’ll find Wanwan. She’ll be okay!" Mu Cidian’s voice was also slightly louder than usual.
He seed to be struggling to suppress his internal anxiety.
Xin Zaozao gritted her teeth.
She imdiately sat in the passenger seat.
She said, "I’ll co with you!"
Mu Cidian did not decline.
He drove through the bustling streets of Jin City, constantly weaving in and out.
He dialed Lei Qian’s number as he drove.
Lei Qian’s phone was still off.
It remained off.
Xin Zaozao sat in the passenger seat, constantly observing the surroundings of the streets, hoping to spot Wanwan, but her hopes were continually dashed.
From 9 in the morning until 12 noon.
Other than Yin Qin phoning Mu Cidian to report that he failed to find the Lei couple at the indicated address, but would continue searching, Ji Baijian had not relayed any information.
Lack of news ant that Ji Baijian had not found Lei Qian’s whereabouts.
Mu Cidian’s grip on the steering wheel was getting tighter.
Xin Zaozao had reached her breaking point.
She said, "Mu Cidian, is this how you promised to take care of Lei Qian? Now Wanwan is missing! Now Wanwan is missing! Am I destined to be tortured by you in this lifeti? Am I supposed to be hurt by you like this? Is it not enough to hurt , that you also have to harm my daughter?"
She was totally falling apart.
Just thinking about the danger that might befall Wanwan, she could not keep calm.
She couldn’t find Lei Qian right now.
If anything was likely to happen, it would have happened during these missing 3 hours.
Thinking about what might have happened, Xin Zaozao really couldn’t control herself.
"No." Mu Cidian comforted Xin Zaozao, "No, Lei Qian doesn’t have such audacity. She wouldn’t dare harm Wanwan. She’s just trying to threaten , to intimidate . She wouldn’t dare do anything to Wanwan!"
"Really? Do you really know Lei Qian? Do you have any idea what kind of person she is?! Do you still think she’s a good person after your mother’s influence?!" Xin Zaozao scread with a throat tearing yell.
"Calm down, Xin Zaozao."
"I can’t calm down!" Xin Zaozao’s eyes were bloodshot, "I can’t calm down! I truly hate you, Mu Cidian. Wasn’t the damage your mother did to enough? Now that your mother’s dead, is it soone else’s turn?! The thing I regret most in my life isn’t falling in love with you, it’s eting you, it’s God making et you. From that mont on, there was no joy in my life, never has been!"
Mu Cidian gripped the steering wheel, his eyes also reddened.
Deep down, he wasn’t feeling any better than Xin Zaozao, but he didn’t want to show it. The more panicked he was, the more out of control the situation would be.
At this mont they needed to calm down, calm down to find Lei Qian, and get Wanwan back.
"If anything happens to Wanwan..." Xin Zaozao’s tears stread incessantly down, "If anything happens, Mu Cidian, I really will kill you with my own hands!"
He doesn’t need her to, he doesn’t need her to dirty her hands, he would kill himself, he would shred himself to pieces!
He was driving, sowhat fast.
But...
They had no destination in sight.
They really couldn’t figure out where to go.
Right now, his greatest hope was Ji Baijian, hoping that Ji Baijian’s side could have so news about Lei Qian’s whereabouts.
2pm.
Mu Cidian had practically driven through all the streets of Jin City, without spotting a shadow of Lei Qian, nothing at all.
Xin Zaozao bit her lip.
She was biting her lip so tightly, fearing that the mont she relaxed, she would burst into tears, fearing that the mont she relaxed, she would completely break down.
Now, she didn’t even know what to think, she didn’t dare to have hope right now, she could only lean on the passenger seat, with tears continuously falling, continuously falling.
No one would ever know, until it happened, what it felt like when your child was hurt, how the heart suffered, how painful it was...
4pm.
Yin Qin called, saying they had finally found Lei Qiang.
They found him at a relative’s house in Lei Village.
Yin Qin said Lei Qian called Lei Qiang’s couple to the relative’s ho, but she didn’t tell them why they needed to go there. She only asked them not to answer any strange calls, not to wander around their relatives’ place, and they followed obediently without asking anything.
Mu Cidian directed Yin Qin to keep a close eye on Lei Qiang’s couple and wait for his next steps.
He hung up the call.
Mu Cidian’s expression changed again.
He suddenly realised that he may have underestimated Lei Qian.
Although Lei Qian’s sche was not ticulous, she was able to anticipate his move to find her parents, thus sending them back to their hotown in advance. If it wasn’t for Yin Qin having enough manpower, it would have been really hard to find Lei Qiang in such a short ti.
He even suspected that Lei Qian might have underestimated his ability, which was why she acted so haphazardly.
His heart pounded heavily.
If Lei Qian was smarter than he had thought, then what was she planning to do?!
When Xin Zaozao saw that Mu Cidian’s deanor had changed after he ended the call, her emotions began to crumble again.
She said, "Mu Cidian, how long are you planning to wander aimlessly on the streets? I can’t keep searching like this. I don’t trust you, I don’t trust you! I’m going to call the police now!"
"Calling the police will only complicate things! Once the police get involved, they’ll interfere in many matters. They’ll only delay us! I’m sure Ji Baijian will definitely find Lei Qian. Even if he can’t, Lei Qian will call . Her target is , not Wanwan!" Mu Cidian was adamant.
"Yes, her target is you! That’s why she’ll get rid of our only bond! If it weren’t for this baby, if it weren’t for Wanwan, we wouldn’t be together. Therefore, in Lei Qian’s mind, Wanwan is the pri culprit standing in the way of you two. She would..."
"No!" Mu Cidian cut off her words loudly, "Lei Qian won’t do that. She couldn’t possibly go to that length. She doesn’t have the courage!"
"Mu Cidian, what is Lei Qian in your mind exactly? Kind? Timid? Feeble? Pitiful?!" Xin Zaozao rebuked him fiercely, "Do you know, the reason why I fell into the water in Lei Village was because Lei Qian pushed ! Back then, she wanted to harm the baby already! Back then, she wanted and the baby to die together!"
"What did you say?" Mu Cidian’s face turned ferocious, his eyes filled with blood, as he asked nacingly.
