The call was transferred several times, by the time it reached Tang Mingli's hands, the first thing Bai Qing heard was not Tang Mingli's voice, but Tang You'an's crying.
"Jiajia, when are you coming? Anan is hungry and has been looking for you." Tang Mingli was comforting Tang You'an while answering the phone.
"Xiao Yue and Wei Jiajia both had accidents, think about it, does Xiao Yue have any enemies?" Bai Qing asked, although not hopeful, it was still better than blindly searching without any leads.
"What did you say?" It took a while for Tang Mingli, who was suddenly confronted with Bai Qing's chilly voice, to respond—he had even forgotten Tang You'an was crying. He uncertainly asked back, "You said Xiao Yue and Jiajia had accidents? What happened to them?"
"They are missing, it must be a kidnapping, but…" Bai Qing did not elaborate further, Tang Yue was a student and not the kind of rich girl, even though she was beautiful and her family seemed well-off, they didn't show signs of being extremely wealthy.
It should not be for money, if not for money, then there must be some grudge.
"Where are you? I'm coming back now." Tang Mingli quickly said, unable to make it clear on the phone.
Bai Qing gave him an address and then hung up.
"Anan, we're going back now." Tang Mingli, seeing Anan crying, felt heartbroken. He hurriedly carried Anan and ran out to the emergency room, where he coincidentally bumped into Qin Anyu. He said to her as if seeing a savior, "Ms. Qin, could you help take care of Anan for me?"
"Sure, Uncle Tang, what happened to you? Did something happen?" Qin Anyu took over the gasping and crying Anan, and seeing Tang Mingli sweating profusely in haste, she was somewhat baffled.
"Xiao Yue and Anan's mother had an accident, can Ms. Qin please help take Anan back to continue with the IV?" Tang Mingli left those words and ran off.
Qin Anyu heard him halfway, Xiao Yue and Anan's mother had an accident?
"Anan, don't cry." Before Qin Anyu had time to think, Anan was already inconsolable. As a child, Qin Anyu couldn't just leave him alone, having no experience with children, she could only hold him and return to the hospital room.
"An Yu, you went out to pay and even brought back a child?" Chu Hong lay in the hospital room, he had sudden appendicitis yesterday, and coincidentally Qin Anyu was there. Qin Anyu had injured her foot before and was carried back by Chu Hong, she still didn't know how to return the favor. This time Qin Anyu was busy here and there, just to pay back the favor.
Chu Hong was resting in the hospital room when he suddenly saw Qin Anyu come back holding a continuously crying child, he was a bit confused, but Qin Anyu's gentle voice comforting the child painted a rather warm scene.
"The child is Xiao Yue's Uncle's." Qin Anyu, inexperienced with comforting children, tried to soothe him with food but it didn't work, until finally, she had to seek help from a nurse. With the nurse's help, they fed the child formula and reattached the IV. After the child was fed, he finally fell asleep quietly.
"God, it's really hard to take care of kids." Qin Anyu said cautiously, for the sake of taking care of Chu Hong, she specifically asked the nurse to place an extra bed next to Chu Hong's, letting the child sleep comfortably was a relief. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ nοvelfire.net
"Right, Xiao Yue and An'an's mother had an accident, but I don't know what kind. I hope it's not serious." At that moment Qin Anyu remembered Tang Yue's accident, she immediately stood up worriedly, moving too suddenly and knocking over a cup by the side. The cup clanged as it fell to the floor.
Tang You'an, startled, opened his eyes which still had tear marks.
"Don't be scared, Anan, go back to sleep," Qin Anyu whispered softly, gently patting Tang You'an's body. Perhaps too exhausted, Tang You'an sobbed and then closed his eyes to sleep.
"Xiao Yue had an accident?" Chu Hong's face grew solemn, he carefully stood up and said, "I'm going to make a phone call."
"Doctor said you need to rest well." Qin Anyu said, "Who do you want to call? I'll help you."
"No use." Chu Hong said, covering his wound and moving carefully, he added, "Take care of the kid."
After finishing speaking, Chu Hong moved step by small step to the nurse's station.
In a luxurious suite, when Tang Yue woke up, she found herself locked in a very luxurious room.
Tang Yue blinked, and for a long moment couldn't comprehend what had happened. She clearly was waiting to go to the hospital with Bai Qing, but Jiajia fainted and then she lost consciousness.
This thought rose in Tang Yue's mind, but it felt wrong.
She wasn't rich, nor did she have money to be extorted, why kidnap her?
Could it be an enemy?
Tang Yue instantly got up, her electric shock baton was gone, her small fruit knife was also missing, the only thing left was the electric shock pen Bai Qing gave her, which looked like an ordinary pen, probably unnoticed by the attacker.
Tang Yue put the pen in her pocket. She looked around, the room seemed to be a bedroom in a suite in a hotel. She didn't see Wei Jiajia; where was she? Tang Yue went to the tightly shut window to check – the building was very high; she thought about escaping by jumping out, but there was no chance.
Outside on the street, the moving figures had turned into dots. By estimation, there were at least ten to twenty floors, a jump would not grant freedom, escaping without dying would be a miracle.
"Who is giving me such a hard time?" Tang Yue searched around the room, there was absolutely no way to contact the outside world.
If I smash the glass, will it draw everyone's attention?
As Tang Yue was thinking this, the door suddenly was opened.
Three bulky men walked in, carrying a camera.
Tang Yue retreated towards the window, she asked, "Who are you? Why did you bring me here? And what's with the camera?"
Tang Yue could not help but swallow her saliva. These three bulky men, except for the shorter one in the middle, the other two were tall, around 1.8 meters; her slight figure was no match for them.
"Yo, awake," said the shorter man, looking at Tang Yue. He was slim and small, like a monkey, with small eyes that also looked somewhat sly, his gaze was lustful, making people feel disgusted.
"This skin is really tender," that man greedily stared at her face. Although her clothes were not taken off, her sweater and jeans outlined her figure, particularly when she was picked up earlier, her body felt substantial.
"Big brothers, we have no grievances, what do you want? Let's discuss it." Tang Yue tried to stay calm, her eyes occasionally glancing towards the camera.
