Unsurprisingly, Mu Mu should indeed be back.
But then, the accident happened.
When Xu Yuning went downstairs, Kang Ruicheng was storming out of the living room, yelling at the person on the other end of the phone, âIf you canât find Mu Mu, youâd better never appear in front of me! Otherwise, you will be a thousand times more upset than Mu Mu!â
What do you mean, âIf you canât find Mu Muâ?
Mu is missing?
Xu Yuningâs heart panicked, she couldnât care about anything else and hurriedly walked to Kang Ruichengâs side: âWhatâs wrong with Mu Mu?â
Kang Ruicheng hung up the phone, looked at Xu Yuning, and said only after a long time, âMu Mu has disappeared.â
ââ¦â¦ What?â Xu Yuning almost couldnât believe what she heard, rushing to Kang Ruicheng in front of her in a flash, the panic in her voice storming | revealing nothing, âHow could Mu Mu be missing?â
âHe was still in the classroom during class, Dongzi didnât receive him after school, and the kindergarten teacher didnât find him either.â Kang Ruicheng glanced at Xu Yuning and said faintly, âCalm down, Iâve already sent people to look for him.â
âWhat about the surveillance?â Xu Yuning was at a loss for words, thinking of any method to immediately bring it up, âDid you ask someone to line up the surveillance video?â
Kang Ruichengâs voice remained muted, âChecking.â
It didnât sound like he was too attached to Mu Muâs disappearance.
Xu Yuningâs attention just shifted to Kang Ruicheng, looking at him incredulously, âMu Mu has already disappeared, why are you still here? Why donât you go look for Mu Mu?â
ââ¦â¦ âKang Ruicheng didnât say anything, his gaze looking deeply at Xu Yuning.
Xu Yuning nodded, having lost all patience, and said word for word, âIf you donât go, Iâll go!â
Mu was nowhere to be found, and no one knew what kind of disaster would happen to him.
She definitely couldnât wait around for news.
Xu Yuning was serious, and as soon as the tail end of his voice fell, he turned around and was about to go out the door.
Kang Ruicheng reacted quickly as well, pulling Xu Yuning down with a low growl, âWhere are you going to find Mu Mu?â
âI have my own methods, I donât want to stay here like you and wait for news.â Xu Yuning was genuinely anxious, his emotions were a bit out of control, and his voice couldnât help but pull up quite a bit.
Kang Ruicheng clutched Xu Yuningâs hand tighter and snorted coldly.
Xu Yuning really couldnât understand this smile of Kang Ruicheng, and took out the last of her patience to ask, âWhat are you smiling about?â
Kang Ruicheng smiled even more kindly and asked instead of answering, âDo you know who the most likely person to take Mu Mu is?â
There was a clear implication in his tone.
Xu Yuning quickly reacted and looked at Kang Ruicheng incredulously, âYouâre suspecting Mu Shi Jue?â
âOther than him, who else has a reason to take Mu Mu?â Kang Ruicheng said, and the smile at the corner of his lips grew colder and colder, âAh Ning, today, thereâs no way Iâm going to let you leave here!â
Xu Yuningâs focus was all on the first half of Kang Ruichengâs sentence, after all, at this time, the most important thing was Mu Muâs safety, not Mu Sijiuâs person.
She looked at Kang Ruicheng and shook her head with certainty: âIt wonât be Mu Shi Jue, you should investigate in other directions. Itâs a complete waste of time for you to investigate Mu Si Jue at this time.â
âAre you so sure that itâs not Mu Shi Jue?â Kang Ruicheng let out a kind smile and asked back in a harsh tone, âOn what basis are you sure?â
Xu Yuning couldnât care less anymore and said directly, âJust by virtue of the fact that I know Mu Sijun, Mu Sijun wouldnât hurt a five year old child! For you to bite the bullet and say that it was Mu Sijun who took Mu Mu, I think itâs a stupid prejudice, your prejudice will harm Mu Mu!â
âIs that so?â Kang Ruichengâs kind smile had an extra touch of danger in it, âAh Ning, are you defending Mu Shijiu?â
âThatâs not the point!â Xu Yuning was undaunted, staring angrily at Kang Ruicheng, a hint of desperation in her voice, âYou can not believe in Mu Sijun, but why donât you believe that I am doing this for the sake of Mu Muâs safety?â
ââ¦â¦â
Kang Ruicheng furrowed his brows for a moment, as if waking up from a dream.
Xu Yuningâs return to him might indeed have an ulterior motive, but her love for Mu Mu was true.
She shouldnât not care when Mu is in danger.
Perhaps, at times like this, he should trust Xu Yuning.
Conrad City faltered and asked, âAre you sure?â
Xu Yuning closed his eyes and said word for word, âI guarantee it with my life!â
Kang Ruicheng dialed Dongziâs phone and instructed, âDonât check on Mu Shijiu anymore, Mu Mu might have been taken by someone else.â
ââ¦â¦ âDongzi was silent for two seconds and said with some heaviness, âBrother Cheng, weâve just found out.â
Kang Ruichengâs hand clutching the cell phone tightened suddenly, his voice strained like a drawn bow, âWho is it?â
Dongzi had yet to name the murderer, but Kang Ruicheng had already handily killed that person countless times in his mind.
âItâs someone from the Chen family in C city, Chen Dong, do you still remember? We just â¦â¦ stole a business from him a few days ago.â The more Dongzi said, the more grave his tone became, âI saw from the video that Chen Dong sneaked into the kindergarten and personally carried away Mu Mu.â
Turns out, it really wasnât Musashi.
Although Mu Sijiu cold-blooded, but deep in his bones, but also hides a few points of the so-called âgentleman styleâ.
Chen Dong is completely different.
In order to achieve his goal, Chen Dong could do anything.
When taking revenge on someone, Chen Dong can even kill without even blinking, he will not even take into account that Mu Mu is only a five year old child.
The veins on Kang Ruichengâs forehead popped up, and a thick murderous aura permeated his tone, âContact Chen Dong and ask him what conditions he has. As long as he releases Mu Mu, I can promise him anything. But remember, do not reveal our bottom line to Chen Dong too early.â
âBrother Cheng, I have just contacted Dong Chen,â Dongzi said somewhat feebly, âDong Chenâs phone is unanswered, I guess he did it on purpose.â
Kang Ruicheng had snatched a great deal of business from Chen Dongâs hands, and now that the matter was irreparable, Chen Dong was harboring a grudge and kidnapped Mu Mu to take revenge on Kang Ruicheng, so how could he possibly let Kang Ruicheng get in touch with him so quickly?
He didnât want to get anything from Kang Ruicheng, he just wanted Kang Ruicheng to experience that kind of burning and torture.
Kang Ruicheng hung up the phone and then smashed the tea set on the table.
Xu Yuning had already guessed what was going on and asked directly, âWho took Mu Mu?â
Kang Ruicheng squeezed two words out of his teeth in a murderous manner, âChen, Dong.â
Chen Dong had better make sure that nothing would happen to Mu Mu, otherwise, he would definitely make Chen Dong pay a thousand times the price!
Xu Yuning wrinkled her eyebrows, âThat Chen Dong from the Chen family in C City?â
Kang Ruicheng looked at Xu Yuning with some surprise: âYou know Chen Dong? I donât remember mentioning him to you.â
Xu Yuning avoided Kang Ruichengâs gaze and said, âWhen I was undercover beside Mu Sijiu, I met Chen Dong a few times.â
ââ¦â¦â
Kang Ruicheng didnât say anything else.
Even so, sending Xu Yuning to Mu Si Jueâs side was still the most regrettable decision he had ever made in his life. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xu Yuning then asked, âWhat are Dong Chenâs conditions?â
ââ¦â¦â
This time, Conrad Cityâs silence was even more complete.
The doubt in Xu Yuningâs heart deepened, and she pursued, âItâs impossible for Chen Dong to have no purpose in taking the trouble to kidnap Mu Mu, right?â
âHe doesnât answer our calls and doesnât even negotiate with us.â Kang Ruicheng paused for a moment before saying, âHeâs just trying to get back at me.â
When kidnapping occurs, the greatest fear is that the other party does not have any demands in terms of benefits, but just for the sake of pure revenge.
Hostages are often greatly harmed in such situations.
Xu Yuning wrinkled her eyebrows and looked anxiously at Kang Ruicheng, âArenât you going to think of a way?â
Kang Ruicheng rubbed his temples vigorously, âIâm thinking.â
However, the biggest problem at the moment is that they donât have a very good solution.
If Chen Dong had any conditions, he could just raise them and Kang Ruicheng could immediately agree to him and then go and fetch Mu Mu back.
However, Chen Dong just wanted to get back at him.
Chen Dong kidnapped Mu Mu in order to utilize Mu Muâs value, and they simply did not have anything of equal value to Mu Mu to exchange with Chen Dong.
Xu Yuningâs heart was burning like fire, in the midst of all the fire, she suddenly remembered something and snatched Kang Ruichengâs cell phone, âYou donât have to think, I have a way.â
By the time the tail end of her voice fell, she had sharply lost a string of digits in the dialing screen.
Kang Ruicheng vaguely remembered that it was someoneâs phone number.
In an instant, Kang Ruichengâs anger attacked his heart, he snatched back the cell phone and stared viciously at Xu Yuning, âWho are you calling?!â
âMu Si Jue!â Xu Yuning didnât hide it anymore, and said unapologetically, âMu Sijue and Chen Dong are friends, and most importantly, Chen Dong listens to Mu Sijueâs words. If Sir Mu told Chen Dong to release Mu Mu, Chen Dong will definitely comply and Mu Mu can come back.â
âXu Yuning, are you crazy?!â Kang Ruicheng âsnappedâ, ruthlessly slammed his cell phone, coldly looked at Xu Yuning, âYou mean, I have to ask for help from Mu Shijiu?â
âItâs not you.â Xu Yuning emphasized word for word, âItâs me whoâs going to ask for help from Mu Siju.â
âEven more so if itâs you!â Kang Ruichengâs eyes were red with rage as he yelled lowly, âAh Ning, you know full well that I donât share the same fate as Lu Bo Yan and those people, and for you to ask for help from them at this time isnât it tantamount to telling them that I canât even take care of my own son? What are you doing?â
âI want to save Mu Mu, I couldnât care less!â Xu Yuning looked at Kang Ruicheng, her eyes had started to redden, âI only know that Mu Mu is in the hands of your enemies, and you canât do anything about your enemies right now, but Mu Sijun can, and Chen Dong almost completely listens to Mu Sijun!â
ââ¦â¦ âKang Ruicheng suddenly calmed down and gave a cold laugh, âWhat makes you think that Mu Sijun will definitely help you? Or maybe, this kidnapping, is simply a conspiracy between Chen Dong and Mu Sijun?â
âI said that Mu Siju wouldnât lay his hands on a child, Iâve been by his side for a year, I know him!â Xu Yuning looked at Kang Ruicheng almost pleadingly, but her tone was extraordinarily strong, âMy decision now concerns Mu Muâs life, whether you agree or not, I will make this call!â
