Qiu Xingyuan realized that something was wrong. He and Qiu Xingqiao exchanged looks and wanted to break out of the trap, but the three children were too weak.
The burly men from the terrorist organization grabbed the children and tied them to the chairs. “You better stay here obediently and wait for your mother to save you. We won’t hurt anyone, but if you play any tricks, these knives in our hands…”
“Hehe.”
The burly men swivelled the foldable knives in their hands. Qiu Xingyu dodged in fear. Qiu Xingyuan shouted. “Don’t touch our sister!”
…
In the kindergarten, Qiu Tong waited outside for a long time but did not see Qiu Xingyuan and Qiu Xingqiao come out. She found a teacher and asked about the situation.
The teachers heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Qiu Tong. They shook her hand excitedly and said, “I’m so glad you’re alright!”
Qiu Tong looked at them in confusion and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Their eyes met and the teachers were stunned for a moment before pulling up the news footage of the accident. They handed their phones to Qiu Tong for her to see. “We and the children all thought that you had an accident. They were so anxious to go to the hospital to see you.”
“We wanted to call you but couldn’t reach you. Your phone is switched off!”
One of the kindergarten teachers took out the school register. “If it’s convenient, can you update your address?”
“If not for the fact that your address wasn’t updated, we would have gone to your house to ask about the situation!”
Qiu Tong was in no mood to listen to the teachers. She just kept looking at the news footage on the screen, feeling that something was wrong.
“Where are the children? Can you bring me to them?”
Qiu Tong frowned as she spoke. The teachers hurriedly brought her to the room where the children were kept. “We were so anxious and the children were very worried about you. Little Yu was so anxious that she was about to cry…”
“Your relationship is so good. I can tell that the children rely on you very much.”
Qiu Tong felt increasingly uneasy when she heard these words.
The kindergarten teachers opened the door and called out. “Children, your mother is here to bring you home…”
There was no response from anyone in the room. All the toys were scattered on the ground, looking especially messy.
The window of the recording studio was wide open and a few stools were piled up by the window. Where were the children?
Qiu Tong could tell at one glance that Qiu Xingyuan and the others had used the stools to escape. She could not help frowning.
The teachers looked back at Qiu Tong in a panic. Afraid of being held responsible, they explained, “We did leave Qiu Xingyuan and his younger siblings here because we were afraid that they would sneak out, but we didn’t expect…”
They were afraid that Qiu Tong would blame them, but Qiu Tong refused to listen.
Qiu Tong thought of the Yu Ge incident a few days ago and felt increasingly uneasy.
“Can I trouble you to show me the news footage again?”
Qiu Tong carefully analyzed every frame. When she saw the signboard of Guang Ming Hospital, she rushed off to the hospital without another word.
Nothing must happen to the children!
Qiu Tong could feel her palms sweating. She ran out of the kindergarten and met the mercenaries and Ye Luan, who were heading home from school.
“Boss? Where are you going?”
Ke Le had never seen such a flustered expression on Qiu Tong’s face before.
