He raised the dagger, about to cut his own throat, but Meiying kicked his arm, sending the dagger flying and clattering to the ground.
Lin Xinlan was stunned, not understanding what had happened.
Rong Shaoze stood up and walked to her side, protecting her. He asked helplessly, "How did you get in here?"
"I..." Her gaze fell on the syringe on the ground, and her pupils contracted sharply, her face turning pale.
"What happened?" she asked nervously, "Is Xiaotian alright?"
"Don’t worry, he’s perfectly fine," Rong Shaoze quickly reassured her, allowing her to breathe a sigh of relief.
She looked at the person subdued by Meiying and guessed, "Did he want to harm Xiaotian?"
"Yes, but he didn’t succeed," Rong Shaoze said gently, fearing he might scare her.
Lin Xinlan was still frightened. She quickly took Xiaotian and hugged him tightly to her chest in a completely protective posture.
The waiter knew that falling into Rong Shaoze’s hands would not end well.
He steeled himself, intending to bite his own tongue to commit suicide. Meiying saw his intent and swiftly grabbed his jaw, dislocating it with a crack without blinking an eye.
Lin Xinlan was shocked to see this and moved closer to Rong Shaoze.
The man’s expression showed some agony. Lin Xinlan turned her gaze away indifferently, feeling no sympathy at all.
Rong Shaoze said to Meiying, "Take him away."
Without a word, Meiying picked him up and jumped out the window.
Lin Xinlan was startled, thinking Meiying was going to commit suicide.
Rong Shaoze wrapped a handkerchief around the syringe on the ground, picked it up, and handed it to the bodyguard to give it to Tao Hua immediately.
He then returned, hugged Lin Xinlan, and comforted her, "Don’t be afraid, I was careless once, but I won’t be careless again. No one can harm Xiaotian."
Lin Xinlan leaned against him and asked in confusion, "Do you think he could be with the people who took Xiaocong?"
Rong Shaoze held her waist, the child between them.
"Yes, I suspect so. I anticipated they would come for Xiaotian today, so I had Meiying watching from the shadows. As expected, we caught them."
Lin Xinlan felt a surge of excitement, "If he’s really with the people who took Xiaocong, then as long as we can get some information from him, we can find out where Xiaocong is!"
Rong Shaoze smiled faintly, "I know, I will definitely make him tell the truth."
Lin Xinlan nodded, not questioning what methods he would use to force the man.
After all, she just wanted to know Xiaocong’s whereabouts.
"Xinlan, did I scare you just now? I’m sorry for putting you through this again." Rong Shaoze gently kissed her forehead, then her lips.
Lin Xinlan closed her eyes dreamily and softly said, "It’s okay, as long as we can find out where Xiaocong is, this scare is nothing. What do you think they were planning to inject into Xiaotian?"
She thought of the perverse virus Qiao Yiyang had injected into her and felt terrified and anxious.
Rong Shaoze’s expression darkened, his voice cold, "I’ll have Tao Hua find out, but it must be something harmful."
Kidnapping one of his sons was already incredibly bold.
To dare to make a move on his second son as well, who were these people?
He suspected that their motives were not simple.
They seemed to have a deep hatred for him; otherwise, they wouldn’t be torturing him slowly, targeting his children.
Lin Xinlan trembled, and Rong Shaoze held her tightly, continuing to kiss her lips tenderly.
