"It's not that they can't be found, but you need to give me some time."
Qin Tianyi was extremely worried, fearing that Little Star would have an accident. "He'll be in danger as long as the child isn't rescued! We don't have much time, we can't just wait like this!"
Seeing the fluctuations in his expression, Xiao Anjing asked, "Have the paternity test results come out?"
Qin Tianyi handed him his phone. Upon seeing the results, Xiao Anjing was stunned and said, "It really is your biological child. The girl you met in Chenxi Town is Gu Susu!"
Qin Tianyi himself hadn't fully processed this fact. He waved to Xiao Anjing and said, "Find out the whereabouts of those people as soon as possible, and keep an eye on Jin Meiyao and her son."
Xiao Anjing knew this was a big deal. This child absolutely couldn't have any mishaps. He then said, "The kidnappers should call you again. You must keep them calm and let them state their demands. As long as they can get the ransom, there's a chance to pinpoint their location."
Qin Tianyi nodded. Waiting for the kidnappers to contact him was also a viable option.
Xiao Anjing didn't say anything further and left his office.
He didn't understand what had happened to Gu Susu that night many years ago. She had accidentally killed the person who had bullied her, and the child she conceived in prison was his.
While he was worried about Little Star's safety, he was also confused about what had happened to Gu Susu back then.
Now, he had only one thought: to go to the apartment immediately and ask Gu Susu for a clear explanation!
...
Gu Susu stayed in the apartment's bedroom, unable to eat anything.
Xiao Mei kept trying to persuade her to eat something, but she impatiently pushed Xiao Mei out of the bedroom and locked the door.
Once the bedroom was quiet, she tried to calm herself down.
At this moment, Qin Tianyi had sent people to guard her, preventing her from leaving. Even if she didn't know where to find the child, she couldn't just do nothing, right?
After much thought, she thought of Su Kangxi. He was an intern police officer and should be able to help.
She quickly picked up her phone and called Su Kangxi.
"Sister Susu, has your friend's matter been resolved?" Su Kangxi asked with a smile on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, my friend is fine now. But..." Gu Susu's voice trembled again as she mentioned the child. "Yesterday... yesterday my child was kidnapped..."
Su Kangxi had never heard Gu Susu sound so out of control. "Susu, what did you say? Kidnapped! Who would be so bold?"
Gu Susu held back her tears and said, "I don't know, I don't know who did it! Little one, I need your help! You're a police officer, you must be able to help me find my child, right?"
"Okay, I'll help you!" Su Kangxi agreed without hesitation. "When did it happen yesterday? Did you report it to the police?"
"The child was kidnapped after school in the afternoon. We've already reported it, but the police can't find any clues for now."
"Which police station did you report it to?"
"It should be the police station near the kindergarten that's handling this matter." Gu Susu told him the location where Little Star was kidnapped.
Now, besides Su Kangxi, she couldn't think of anyone else who could help.
"Sister Susu, don't worry. I'll go to that police station now to inquire."
"Okay, thank you. I'll wait for your news."
Su Kangxi comforted her, "Don't worry, the child will be fine."
After speaking with Su Kangxi, she wondered if the kidnappers had contacted Qin Tianyi again today.
Would Qin Tianyi agree to any of the kidnappers' demands? Would he endanger Little Star's safety and enrage the kidnappers?
The moment she thought of Qin Tianyi's personality – that he wouldn't easily bow to anyone – she anxiously paced back and forth in the room.
Just then, her phone rang. She thought it was Qin Tianyi, but it turned out to be an unknown number.
Could it be the kidnappers?
She answered somewhat nervously, "Hello."
"Gu Susu, it's me. It's been a while. You're living quite well as a rich wife these days."
She recognized Ai Yiwei's voice and said coldly, "What do you want? I can't help you with the Ai family's matters. Besides, you're already married and don't have much of a connection with the Ai family anymore."
"Your voice sounds a bit off. Why are you so nervous? Did something happen?" Ai Yiwei's voice carried a smug mockery.
Gu Susu suddenly felt that Ai Yiwei's call at this moment might mean she knew about Little Star's kidnapping.
But how did she know?
Did this matter have anything to do with her?
Gu Susu recalled how she had almost fallen into the trap set by Huang Xiuli and her son not long ago. According to Qin Tianyi, Jin Meiyao was involved behind the scenes.
Ai Yiwei and Jin Meiyao were mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She should know many things.
"What do you mean? Do you know something? Or did you kidnap my child!" Gu Susu asked angrily.
Ai Yiwei laughed on the phone, "I don't have that much capability, but I know where your child is."
"Where is he? Tell me!"
"Why should I tell you?"
"I'll call the police right away, and they'll interrogate you. You'll have to tell them anyway." Gu Susu tried to calm herself down.
Ai Yiwei, however, said dismissively, "Fine, let the police arrest me. Then you'll never find your child."
"What do you want in exchange for telling me?" Gu Susu could no longer remain calm and pleaded, "Please, tell me where my child is?"
Ai Yiwei laughed again. "Alas, you should actually thank me this time. I'm helping you. The person who wants to threaten Qin Tianyi with this child isn't me. I'm just passing on a message for you..."
"It's not you, then is it Qin Tianlang or Jin Meiyao?" Gu Susu interrupted her.
Ai Yiwei said, "No matter who it is, we all share the surname Qin. Why did Qin Tianyi take away all the Qin family's wealth? Logically, Tianlang should be the heir to the Qin Corporation."
"The Qin Corporation no longer exists."
"Doesn't exist? It was just annexed by Qin Tianyi. They just want him to spit out everything he swallowed."
Gu Susu said agitatedly, "That's your business, what does it have to do with my child? By kidnapping my child, you think you can make him hand over everything? You're dreaming!"
"You don't know yet?" Hearing her tone, Ai Yiwei realized Gu Susu still didn't know that her child was actually Qin Tianyi's child.
Gu Susu asked inexplicably, "Know what?"
"Nothing," Ai Yiwei deliberately refused to tell her.
Gu Susu didn't want to waste time on these trivial matters and asked again, "Where is Little Star? You said you could tell me, so hurry up and say it!"
"I can tell you, but there are conditions."
"What conditions? I'll agree to anything you say."
Ai Yiwei paused, then said in a condescending tone, "First, you cannot call the police. Second, you must come alone to find the child as I say, and you cannot let anyone know, including Qin Tianyi. Otherwise, you won't see the child, and those desperate criminals will kill him immediately!"
"Okay, I promise. I'll do exactly as you say." Gu Susu anxiously asked, "Then can you tell me where Little Star is now?"
