"Dad, Mom, what’s the situation? How is Nianhua? Is he okay?" Fang Manyin had just brought Hongen home when she heard the news about Nianhua’s car accident. She was worried at home, and when she saw the car return, her father-in-law, mother-in-law, and aunt were all back, but Nianhua was not.
"Manyin." Jiang Wanru’s eyes were red. Sitting in the car, she sobered up after a while. Her eyes were swollen from crying all the way, wishing it was her in the accident, wishing she was the one kidnapped.
"Mom."
Fang Manyin felt a pang in her heart.
It wasn’t until Su Jinrong said Xu Nianhua might have been kidnapped that she breathed a sigh of relief. Kidnapped, at least he’s still alive.
Fang Manyin comforted her mother-in-law. When Su Xi rushed home, she saw this scene. She regretted and blamed herself, wondering why she hadn’t insisted on making Nianhua stay. Maybe then, this wouldn’t have happened.
"It’s not your fault. The other party was prepared, even if it hadn’t been today, it could have been tomorrow." Jiang Wanru sighed. Though she was sad, she wouldn’t blame others.
...
"Dad, hasn’t Aunt Wan come back yet?" Pei Yining hung up the phone, hurried home, but didn’t see Wan Hongxing. She could only hope Wan Hongxing had already returned home.
But, when she arrived home, she saw Pei Guozhong anxiously making phone calls.
"No, I’ve already asked around, but there’s still no news." Pei Guozhong’s heart was worried.
Pei Yijian even stopped watching his favorite Animal World, pulling Pei Yining and asking, "Sis, mom won’t be in trouble, right?"
"No, no, Yijian, you eat first. Maybe Aunt Wan will be back later." Pei Yining looked at the cold dishes on the table. She asked the housekeeper to heat them while comforting little Pei Yijian, saying, "Yijian, Aunt Wan is probably delayed by something. Let’s eat first, then you do your homework in your room, okay?"
"Sis, I’m scared." Pei Yijian looked at Pei Yining with tearful eyes.
"Don’t be scared, sister is here with you. Remember when Aunt Wan went out before? Sometimes she’d run into acquaintances or needed to buy something, and she would come home late, right?" Pei Yining coaxed him, urging him to finish his meal and head back to his room to do his homework.
"Ring."
The phone rang. Pei Yining happily said, "Maybe it’s Aunt Wan calling."
She eagerly watched as Pei Guozhong quickly answered the phone.
"Uncle Pei, it’s Su Lie." Pei Guozhong heard Su Lie’s voice on the other end and quietly shook his head at Pei Yining. He asked, "Xiaolie, what’s the matter? Yicheng is not at home."
"I know, I want to ask if anyone from the Pei Family was using the car with license plate xxxx today?" Su Lie inquired, as the police had already found out it was a Pei Family car, so Su Lie directly called them.
"My wife was using the car today. She was delivering food to Yining, is it..." Pei Guozhong’s tone was difficult, not daring to continue, fearing bad news.
"Uncle Pei, Aunt Wan may have been kidnapped too." Su Lie confirmed that Wan Hongxing saw the accident with Nianhua’s car, got out to help, and ended up being taken by the kidnappers as well.
"What? Kidnapped?" Pei Guozhong stood up in shock.
Beside him, Pei Yining feared his blood pressure rising and quickly comforted him, "Dad, don’t worry, let’s talk it over calmly."
Pei Yining gently patted Pei Guozhong, who took a deep breath and calmed down, asking, "Xiaolie, who else was kidnapped?"
