"No problem, no problem, we’ve already brought the person as you instructed."
After talking for a while longer, he hung up the phone, glanced at the house not far away, and let out a cold laugh.
...A few days ago, someone called him, saying there was a big job, and if he succeeded, the reward would be one million.
...He was short on cash recently due to gambling, so upon hearing this, he agreed without hesitation. Later, someone sent him information and a photo.
...He was also told she would appear at the amusement park today, and that he should find a way to get in and bring her to this old warehouse in the suburbs...
This place used to be an industrial area, but it was sealed off due to operation violations, leaving it deserted.
However, he never expected that the person contacting him would be a woman... There was only one possibility, the person who called him earlier wasn’t her.
...The plan was going smoothly, taking her away from the haunted house... After all, in a haunted house, even if a gunshot were fired, the tourists would think it’s fake... and wouldn’t take it seriously.
...But unexpectedly, a man appeared from nowhere, a pretty boy, and even dared to try to protect the woman.
Since he came looking for death on his own, no one else is to blame...
The scar-faced man sat in a chair, holding the photo sent to him days ago. When he first saw the photo, he thought the woman was a beauty...
Today, upon seeing her in person, his thoughts were confirmed. If not for the employer’s demand for her to be unharmed... otherwise, he probably would have...
...
That night, Jingxi had a nightmare, dreaming that Daddy and Mommy didn’t want him anymore, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Biting his lip tightly, a crystal-clear tear slid from the corner of his eye.
"Mommy... Daddy, don’t leave Jingxi..." he murmured, his voice filled with fear.
The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, tears hanging on his little face, his eyes darting around to take in everything in the room.
Only then did he realize this was Beichen Rui’s room in the old house, and it was dark outside, implying that quite some time had passed since they went to the amusement park.
Weakly sitting up, he climbed off the bed with hands and feet, not even bothering with his slippers, and headed directly for the door.
Upon opening the door, he immediately saw Lan Shan sitting on the sofa in the living room, resting her chin on one hand, lost in thought.
Gong Shaoyu was sitting on the other side, his brows furrowed, appearing to be deep in thought about something as well.
As he made his way down to the living room, Lan Shan turned upon hearing the noise, seeing the little guy had woken up at some point, "Jingxi, you’re awake?"
The little guy nodded and came up to her, his voice muffled, "Godmother, have Mommy and Daddy come back yet?"
Upon hearing this, Lan Shan’s expression froze momentarily before she responded, "Not yet, your Uncle Mo Han is out looking for them."
...It’s strange, if it’s a simple kidnapping, there should have been a call or something, but... Beichen Rui and Ye Xinluo have both been missing for so long, and no ransom call has come...
At this, the little guy’s face showed a stormy look, as if he might burst into tears at any moment.
Recalling the scene in the haunted house, a rising feeling of fear emerged... He saw those people had guns, saw one of them hold a gun to Mommy’s head...
If Mommy had resisted, then... Jingxi didn’t dare to imagine the subsequent scenes.
He stretched out his arms pitifully, wanting a hug.
