The man silently rejoiced in his heart, thankful that he had arranged everything perfectly, leaving no loose ends.
Otherwise, the moment Lin Xinlan had walked in and found Xiaocong’s clothes still there, she would have definitely doubted his words.
"Let’s go, we should get some rest. Stop worrying about him," he said, moving to wrap his arms around her, leading her outside.
Lin Xinlan glared at him, dissatisfied, "Xiaocong is your son too. I really don’t understand why you could be so heartless as to send him away."
"It’s precisely because he is my son that I want him to become stronger."
Lin Xinlan understood as well that, being the son of Rong Shaoze, Xiaocong’s future life would inevitably involve a lot of bloodshed.
Only by getting stronger could he better protect himself.
"You should still find a way for me to contact Xiaocong. I really can’t stand not being able to communicate with him for two months."
"I know, I will figure something out," he replied.
It had already been five consecutive days, and Rong Shaoze’s group were still unable to locate any trace of Xiaocong.
It was as if the boy had evaporated from the face of the earth, vanished without a trace, leaving behind nothing.
At first, they managed to keep a level head.
Believing that the kidnappers were targeting them, if they had taken Xiaocong, they would surely make contact to threaten them.
But as five days passed with no attempt from the kidnappers to make contact, Rong Shaoze became increasingly restless, the fear in his heart growing steadily.
He truly hoped that it wouldn’t be the worst-case scenario...
Although he was very anxious inside, he kept a composed demeanor in front of his family at home.
Lin Xinlan and Rong’s mother would occasionally grumble, but he managed to brush aside their concerns.
To find Xiaocong, he had already issued a reward in the underworld.
If anyone knew where Xiaocong was or had seen him, they would receive a handsome reward.
Instantly, the underworld across the entire Asia region sprung into action.
This was a golden opportunity to make money, one that no one would want to miss.
Yet Xiaocong was like a stone sunk in the deep sea, without a single piece of news from start to finish.
Rong Shaoze and Xu Yao discussed the matter every day, listing all their enemies and competitors, sending people out to search, but Xiaocong’s whereabouts remained unknown.
The few of them sat in Rong Shaoze’s office, their expressions grave.
Tao Hua couldn’t help but curse under his breath, disdainfully saying, "Those in the underworld should know the rules. Grievances have their targets, and if you have a grudge, take revenge against the right person! Damn it, targeting a child is nothing short of beastly!"
Thinking of Xiaocong’s cuteness, Tao Hua felt even more furious.
Rong Shaoze’s face darkened as he asked flatly, "What do you think, could it be someone from the Qianyue Group?"
Xu Yao looked up and said, "I’ve suspected them too, but the Qianyue Group has been under our close surveillance, and we haven’t seen any unusual movements."
"Any news from the people we sent out to investigate?"
"They reported no sightings of Xiaocong, but we also can’t rule out the possibility of the Qianyue Group’s involvement," Xu Yao stated flatly.
Rong Shaoze nodded, a cold, predatory look glinting in his eyes.
"Continue the search, no matter how long it takes, we must find him. The fact that there’s no news of Xiaocong right now can also be seen as good news. Perhaps they are hiding him, and the enemy just wants to make us fall into disarray before they strike unexpectedly."
