The man hadn’t taken such a small child seriously at all. Initially worried he might be disobedient, he soon let his guard down even further as Gan Tang complied with everything he wanted.
Driving on, he began to think about how to extort ransom from the child’s parents.
How much money should he demand?
A million, too little.
If this child’s family really is as rich as he claimed, they will definitely pay up.
He glanced at Gan Tang, who was sitting "obediently" in his seat, through the rearview mirror.
This idiotic child, really only good at being born, couldn’t even tell he was a bad guy, I’ll get rid of him first, then take his clothes to trade for money...
With this in mind, the man was in high spirits, humming a tune as he drove.
In the back seat, Gan Tang quietly took something out of his pocket, cautiously observing the man’s actions, and pushed the item out through a hole in the car window.
It fell silently outside, somersaulted in mid-air, and landed on the grass by the roadside—it was a little cotton sock with a white base and blue edges.
"If you get abducted, quietly drop things from your pocket by the roadside, like a handkerchief, socks, shoes... That way, mommy can find you."
Gan Yuan’s voice rang in his ears. The little guy curled up his legs, quietly took off his other shoe, pulled off his sock, and stuffed it into his pocket.
"No matter what happens, you must remember, never be scared, because mommy is always with you. If you get lost, mommy will definitely find you."
Thinking about mommy, the little guy filled with even more courage, put his shoe back on, looked out the window as the road took a turn, and quietly threw out his other little sock as well.
The man, imagining the good life he would lead after getting the money, was laughing contentedly in his seat and didn’t notice the little guy’s movements in the trunk.
By the time the cars arrived at the farm, the kindergarten teachers had already called the police, but they had not yet arrived.
The teacher in charge of the event had already gotten the children from the other classes onto the bus, escorted by other teachers back to town, while the remaining teachers were searching the farm with the staff.
Gan Tang’s head teacher, Ms. Yang, was anxiously waiting for the police at the entrance when she saw Gan Yuan jump out of the car and immediately went to greet her.
"Gan Tang’s mom... I’m sorry!"
The bodyguard Will had arranged to look after Gan Tang was also bustling over, "Sir..."
He had managed only a single word before Huangfu Jue punched him, sending him flying.
Worried that something might happen to Gan Tang, he had specifically instructed Will to arrange for someone to protect him, and yet they had lost Gan Tang. At that moment, Huangfu Jue felt like killing him.
The female teacher, seeing someone fly out suddenly from beside her, was just scared witless.
"Don’t panic!" Gan Yuan quickly grabbed her arm and urgently asked, "Is there any clue?"
The female teacher collected herself, "We’ve searched the entire farm and haven’t found Gan Tang. However, when we asked around again, one of the kids said he saw him being taken away by an uncle."
"Which direction?" Gan Yuan asked urgently.
"They said he was taken from the direction of the fruit trees. Some of our teachers have already gone to check."
Before Ms. Yang could finish speaking, Gan Yuan had dashed toward the fruit grove at full speed.
Huangfu Jue reached out to catch her but missed, his brow furrowed as he chased after her.
