129: Chapter 129 Ye Jiuqing Appears 129: Chapter 129 Ye Jiuqing Appears 3 PM.
Su Heng called Su He.
Before she could even speak, an anxious voice came from the other end.
“Sis, Xixi is missing.”
Su He, who had just picked up her water cup, paused abruptly and urgently asked, “When did this happen, and where?”
“Ten minutes ago, in the amusement park.
I turned around to buy a bottle of water, and when I turned back, Xixi was gone.
I asked the staff to make an announcement and call for people, but Xixi didn’t show up.
I’m now in the amusement park’s surveillance room.
They said the surveillance system crashed ten minutes ago and didn’t capture the scene.”
Su Heng quickly said.
“Stay there for now, I’ll give you a call in a bit.”
After hanging up the phone, Su He immediately called Bai Yang.
As soon as the call connected, she immediately said, “Locate the little guy’s position.”
Hearing the urgency in her voice, Bai Yang quickly stood up from the sofa and walked over to his computer.
“Boss, what happened?”
Bai Yang sat in front of the computer, his fingers rapidly tapping on the keyboard, and soon, a red dot appeared on the computer screen.
“Boss, Xixi’s location shows up at a Wanxiang Amusement Park on Harmony Road.
I’ve sent you the coordinates.”
“Okay, I got it.
Keep an eye on any changes in his location and let me know immediately if there’s an issue.”
After taking off her white coat, Su He left the office.
Passing by the nurse’s desk, she quickly said to the head nurse, “Head nurse, I have an urgent matter and need to step out.
If there are any patients, call Doctor Lu.”
Her speech was extremely fast.
Before Jiang Huai could respond, she had already dashed to the elevator entrance.
In the elevator, Su He called Jiang Yan, and it was answered after two rings.
“What’s wrong?”
Jiang Yan was in a meeting with a room full of executives; he paused the meeting to answer Su He’s call.
Usually, she wouldn’t call him at this time unless it was an emergency.
Everyone quietly watched without making a noise.
The next second, everyone noticed their boss’s expression turn dark instantly.
Then the man quickly stood up, walking briskly toward the meeting room door while speaking gently, “Don’t panic, be careful while driving, I’m on my way.”
Jiang Feng and Jiang Qi exchanged a look.
Jiang Feng immediately addressed the room, “Everyone, the meeting is paused, please go back to your work.”
After saying this, the two quickly followed.
Su He received a call from Bai Yang while in the car.
“Hello, boss, Xixi’s location is odd; he seems to be circling around the amusement park.”
Bai Yang, staring at the continuously moving red dot on the computer screen, spoke with a hint of puzzlement.
Su He’s expression was stern as she gravely commanded, “Check the nearby surveillance and the amusement park’s surveillance footage for this hour.
They said the park’s surveillance broke suddenly ten minutes ago, so it didn’t capture any images after the little guy disappeared.”
Su He did not believe in such coincidences.
All coincidences are premeditated.
“Alright, I understand.”
Bai Yang’s fingers flew across the keyboard.
The journey that was supposed to take forty minutes was shortened to twenty minutes by Su He, rushing to the amusement park.
Due to the long holiday, the amusement park was packed with people, crowded and bustling.
Su He followed the coordinates sent by Bai Yang and started searching.
That red dot kept moving.
After five minutes, she spotted the familiar watch on the wrist of a raggedly dressed boy.
Su He approached and asked, “Young boy, can you tell aunty who gave you this watch?”
The boy looked to be about ten, his face somewhat dirty.
The boy looked at her silently for a moment before speaking, “I don’t know him.
A man wearing a mask and a hat brought me here.
Then he gave me a thousand yuan to wear this watch and walk around the amusement park.”
The boy looked at her for a while, then took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket.
“Aunty, that uncle said if someone comes asking about this watch, to hand this over to them, and that would be you, I guess.”
Su He took the note from the boy, her expression grave.
She quickly opened it, and inside was written a sentence: “Su He, I have taken your son.
You have three hours to find us.
Otherwise, what you might see will be a cold, lifeless body.”
“…”
Two hours later.
Moon Gift Villa.
“Sis, I’m sorry, it’s my fault for not taking good care of Xixi.
I shouldn’t have gone to buy water, I shouldn’t have left him, I…”
Su Heng’s eyes reddened slightly, he felt very guilty.
“It’s okay, this has nothing to do with you, don’t overthink it,” Su He interrupted him.
Su He was very calm, because for now, Su Yimo was at least not in any life-threatening danger.
Su Zhimian and Xing Siyang arrived.
Su Heng told Su Zhimian, who happened to be with Xing Siyang, so they came together.
“How is everything?” Su Zhimian asked with a grave expression.
Su He shook her head, “I had Bai Yang check the surrounding surveillance, nothing was found, but the person left me a message.”
This was enough to prove that the person was very cautious and left no traces whatsoever.
She placed the note in her hand on the table.
Su Zhimian picked it up, glanced at it, and frowned deeply.
Xing Siyang also looked at it and frowned similarly.
Clearly, the perpetrator was targeting Su He.
“Any suspects?” Xing Siyang asked her.
Su He: “No.”
She currently had no leads at all, Su Yimo’s identity had always been kept a secret by her.
After speaking, Su He stood up and went upstairs.
She wanted some quiet time.
After Jiang Yan finished a phone call on the balcony, Su He was no longer in the living room.
Su Zhimian: “She went upstairs.”
Two more hours passed.
Jiang Feng and Jiang Qi arrived at Moon Gift Villa.
“Master, we have searched the entire Yue City and found no traces of the young master.
All the highway exits were notified to strictly monitor them within half an hour of the young master’s disappearance, but nothing was found,” Jiang Feng reported methodically.
The man sat on the sofa, emanating an intimidating aura.
“There’s been no activity from the Lou Family and Chairman Jiang,” Jiang Qi added.
Thus, it also ruled out their involvement.
The Lou Family probably did not know about the young madam’s identity, since ever since the young master’s return, the Jiang Family had kept it a secret, except for Mr.
Gu, Master Lu, and the Jiang family, no one knew.
But it couldn’t rule out the possibility that Chairman Jiang had leaked this to the Lou Family, given their recent frequent private interactions.
Yet currently, neither of them had any suspicion.
Xing Siyang sat aside, lost in thought for a while, then suddenly said, “Could it be that they are not in Yue City anymore?”
Jiang Qi said, “But they couldn’t possibly have left Yue City within half an hour, the amusement park is in the city center, at least ninety kilometers away from the highway.
We’ve checked the vehicle surveillance on the road, and there were no vehicles speeding during that time.”
They had searched all stations, train stations, high-speed rail stations, and airports, and found no news.
Suddenly, Jiang Yan spoke in a deep voice: “Check the helicopter flight records during that time!”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qi had a sudden realization: “Yes, I’ll do it right away.”
Meanwhile, upstairs, Su He had the same thought.
She had just come out of her room when she heard Jiang Yan’s words downstairs.
The two had the same idea.
Jiang Qi was very efficient at handling matters.
Half an hour later, he obtained from the relevant authorities that there were indeed a few helicopters that had left Yue City during that time.
“Master, Young Madam, during the time the young master disappeared, a total of three helicopters left Yue City, but their directions were different.
We can’t determine if the young master was indeed on one of those helicopters.”
Obviously, this was a red herring by the adversary, meant to waste their time.
Jiang Yan: “Find out their final landing destinations, spare no expense.”
“Yes, Master.”
–
“Who are you?
Let go of the young master immediately.”
On a private plane, little Su Yimo was bound by his hands and thrown onto a seat.
His dark eyes glared angrily at a few unfamiliar men sitting across from him, all foreign faces except for one Chinese face.
“Let go of the young master!”
Su Yimo’s childish voice carried a stubborn tone.
One of the men took out his phone and snapped a frontal photo of Su Yimo.
Then he sent it.
Immediately after, the phone rang.
“Hello, Young Master Jiuqing.”
“Yes, I understand.
Don’t worry, I will bring him back safely.”
After hanging up the phone, the man looked towards a foreign man standing beside him and said in English: “Go, untie the kid’s ropes and give him something to eat.”
After the foreigner helped him untie the ropes, he then gave him a sandwich and some milk.
The little guy disdainfully said, “I don’t want this, I want to eat steak!”
“…”
The Chinese man looked at him, furrowed his brows tightly, appearing somewhat fierce.
The little guy was not afraid either, stubbornly tilting his little chin up, his face clearly expressing “I just want to eat steak!”
Thinking of his master’s earlier words, the Chinese man could only grit his teeth and said, “Go, get it for him!”
On the other side.
Su He received a photo from an unknown number.
The person in the photo was none other than Su Yimo.
The number was also a space number, and no useful information could be traced.
Judging by the background in the photo, Su Yimo seemed to have been taken onto a plane.
That meant, he might not be in the country anymore.
Meanwhile, Jiang Qi and others were still screening.
The opposing party was well-prepared, employing too many deceptive tricks.
It had been six hours since Su Yimo was taken away.
Su He remained very calm all this while.
She wasn’t unafraid; in fact, she was more frightened than anyone that something might happen to Su Yimo.
However, she was used to keeping all her emotions hidden inside.
Jiang Yan held her hand, and her palms were very cold.
He softly said: “Don’t worry, I’m here, the little guy will be fine.
Let’s get something to eat first.”
Su He had no appetite now, but could not resist the man’s persuasion.
Until after 10 pm,
Jiang Feng and Jiang Qi came back with news, looking haggard.
“Master, Young Madam, at the airport in S city, we found traces of the young master.
The young master was taken onto a private jet heading overseas.
We checked the flight route, it’s headed to Country Y,” Jiang Feng said, “But we’re not sure if they might change flights along the way.”
Su He asked, “Who owns that private jet?”
Jiang Qi: “It belongs to a person called Cheng Shui.
We have checked him.
He said someone borrowed his private jet three days ago with a high offer, so he lent it, but he didn’t know who it was, just that it was a foreigner.
But this range is too broad to be traceable.
Cheng Shui said he had never met them face to face; all interactions were done via mobile phone, and all contacted numbers were blank numbers.”
Country Y?
Su He fell into deep thought.
She had been thinking in the wrong direction at first.
Initially, she suspected her former opponents, but she had never thought of the people around her.
Not many knew about Su Yimo’s identity, and that he had a location tracking system set by Bai Yang on his watch.
Except for a few people around her, there was one more person who knew.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for someone to specifically take off the little guy’s watch and let other children wander around the amusement park.
Moreover, only he could come up with such a pointless game.
She immediately picked up her phone and dialed a number.
Everyone looked at her curiously but did not speak.
Su He made the call, but the other party was in a shutdown state.
A person who had never turned off their phone before was now off, which indicated a problem.
Then, she dialed another number.
Bai Yang quickly picked up.
“Check whether Ye Jiuqing has returned to Zhu Feng Island or not?”
Listening to Su He’s extremely cold voice, Bai Yang shuddered.
He probably guessed something: “Yes, boss, I’ll check right now.”
Su He didn’t hang up, but turned on the speakerphone and waited for Bai Yang to check.
Ten minutes later.
Bai Yang’s voice came through: “Boss, Young Master Ye is indeed no longer in Country F.
But I can’t trace where he has gone; he purposefully hid his whereabouts.
Most likely, it was Young Master Ye who took Xixi away.”
As he spoke, he could feel the chill coming through the phone.
A few seconds later.
Bai Yang continued: “Boss, the surveillance system on Zhu Feng Island has been completely turned off.”
That made things even more suspicious.
“I understand.”
After hanging up the phone, she looked towards Jiang Yan beside her.
She hadn’t spoken yet when he had already taken the initiative to say: “I’ll go with you.”
His tone was not questioning or discussing, but a direct decision.
Su He did not refuse: “Okay.”
Jiang Yan gave a look to Jiang Feng, who immediately understood.
An hour later, the two of them took a private jet to Country Y.
—
After Su Yimo had enough food and drink on the plane, he fell asleep.
Though he was only a little over three years old, he could tell that these people did not intend to harm him.
Having had his fill, and feeling sleepy, he confidently fell asleep.
When they arrived in Country Y, it was three o’clock in the afternoon in Country Y.
A few people took Su Yimo off the plane and got into a black van.
Approximately an hour later, the van stopped on a deserted patch of land in the suburbs.
A helicopter was parked on the empty land.
Su Yimo was cooperative throughout the entire ride, not crying or making a fuss, nor was he scared.
The helicopter flew for about three hours before it finally landed on the helipad of an island.
Looking at this unfamiliar island, Su Yimo furrowed his little brow.
After multiple security checks, forty minutes later, the little guy was brought into a detached villa.
Once inside, he looked around at the decoration of the villa; he could only feel one thing: it was eerily gloomy.
At this moment, a man was sitting on the sofa with his back to him.
The Chinese man led him forward.
The Chinese man then respectfully said to the man on the sofa: “Young Master Jiuqing, I have brought the person.”
The man with closed eyes suddenly opened them.
He was wearing a dark red shirt with the collar open, and his long, straight legs were resting on the coffee table.
His skin was pale and glowing, devoid of any color, making him look somewhat frail.
His features were deep-set, facial contours strongly defined, sharp angles, and he possessed a pair of deep-sea-like blue eyes, giving off an unfathomable mysterious sense.
It was the first time the little guy saw someone with blue eyes.
Somewhat curiously he asked, “Why are your eyes blue?”
Ye Jiuqing, startled by his childish, milky voice, paused slightly.
Then, his expression turned cold, his tone chillingly cold: “Aren’t you afraid of me?”
The little guy, upon hearing this, raised his little brow and retorted, “Why should I be afraid of you?
I am not even afraid of my dad.”
Ye Jiuqing narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze chillingly fixed on the child who bore a resemblance to Su He, becoming even more stern.
Since Su He had this child, she had repeatedly warned him not to go near the child.
And indeed he listened, never once appearing before the child.
Though it wasn’t the first time he had seen Su Yimo, it was the first time for Su Yimo to see him.
Yet, surprisingly, the child was not afraid of him.
Children his age who saw his eyes would cry out of fear.
After all these years, he was the only one who did not cry.
“Why aren’t you crying?”
Su Yimo’s little head was topped with a question mark.
Does this uncle with blue eyes have some illness?
Why should he cry?
The naive, childish voice responded again: “Uncle, haven’t you heard of ‘a man’s tears should not drop lightly’?”
“…”
