Chapter 548: Cold-blooded

Gu Chen was unconscious, so Song Fan had to handle everything herself. She hacked into all the surveillance around the airport and, with Lan Yue, cracked the facial recognition system. After several hours, she finally found Song Kai’s trail. If Gu Chen were awake, he wouldn’t have allowed her to do this, but with Song Kai in trouble, she couldn’t wait any longer. Moreover, she had to get the Tango Fruit, or Gu Chen wouldn’t last much longer.
“Boss, I found the person who kidnapped Song Kai. He’s a doctor. Could he be one of Peter’s men?” Lan Yue asked, her anxiety evident.
She had also dug deeper into Xia Yu’s background, discovering that the real Xia Yu had died in a car accident abroad long ago. The current Xia Yu was just an impostor, with no other traceable information.
Song Fan had also uncovered this information. She continued to track Xia Yu, but he was highly aware of counter-surveillance, leaving very few clues.
To save the baby in Ruan Xin’s belly, Xia Yu had gone all out. Almost as soon as he got the Tango Fruit, he threw himself into the experiment. Within Peter’s organization, his codename was “Doctor,” but he wasn’t a real doctor. His main role was to develop various drug formulas for Peter. As Peter’s business expanded, Xia Yu was sent to Beijing to further their operations.
Xia Yu never expected to have a future. He was well aware that someone like him had no future, especially since an accident had left him almost infertile. He had been living one day at a time, with no hopes or dreams.
But now, with Ruan Xin pregnant, he felt he had to protect the child. He didn’t care about Ruan Xin, but the child was now his only hope. Knowing he didn’t have much time before Song Fan would catch up to him, he spent nearly all his time in the lab. Unfortunately, a single Tango Fruit was not enough to fully neutralize the poison.
Looking at the experiment data, Xia Yu made a decision. He only needed Ruan Xin to survive the next ten months. As long as the child survived, he didn’t care if she lived or died.
Ruan Xin hurried over when she saw Xia Yu walk in, looking exhausted. “Dear, how is it? Do you have the antidote?”
Xia Yu glanced at her sideways. He had always known this woman only cared about herself, but now he needed her to deliver the baby. He waved the test tube in his hand. Ruan Xin reached for it, but he grabbed her wrist. “Don’t worry. I’ll save you. The antidote needs to be injected.”
Hearing this, Ruan Xin finally relaxed. “Hurry up, then. You know the first three months of pregnancy are the most dangerous. Our child can’t be harmed.”
She knew that Xia Yu only cared about the baby, but that baby was her lifeline. Xia Yu didn’t explain further and quickly injected the antidote. Ruan Xin’s anxiety eased.
“Have you dealt with Song Kai?” Ruan Xin asked timidly. If Song Kai was still alive, this could blow up in their faces.
“What do you want me to do with him? I heard he treated you well. Didn’t you call him ‘brother’ for many years?” Xia Yu leaned back on the sofa, looking at her coldly. “Are you really that cold-blooded?”
Ruan Xin bit her lip. “He only cared about Song Fan, not me. The Song Family is all the same. They don’t care if I live or die!”
“If they are heartless, don’t blame me for being ruthless!” Seeing Xia Yu’s cold expression, Ruan Xin quickly switched to a softer tone. “I’m just worried about you. If something happens to you, what will happen to me and the baby?”
Xia Yu sneered internally. This woman was truly vicious. He stood up and left the room, saying only, “Take care of yourself.”
Ruan Xin watched from behind the curtain as Xia Yu drove away. She then took out her phone. She had prepared a SIM card long ago and quickly sent a message to Song Huai about Xia Yu kidnapping Song Kai. She had no idea where Song Kai was but trusted Song Huai, the detective, to find him. Once Song Kai was found, whether he was alive or dead, Xia Yu’s fate was sealed.
Feeling relieved that no one could threaten her anymore, Ruan Xin gently caressed her belly. “Good child, you’ve saved mommy’s life. Mommy won’t let you suffer in this world.”
