Zhao Youlin had a general understanding of the whole situation after listening to Ling Yue’s words. Her expression became increasingly ugly, however, she comforted Ling Yue in a low voice, “You cannot blame yourself for this. Don’t worry, we will bring Joy back safely.”

“Okay!” Zhao Youlin’s words slightly calmed Ling Yue’s tensed nerves, and she was no longer as sad as she was when she cried in the beginning.

Mu Tingfeng glanced at Zhao Youlin. After making sure that there was nothing wrong with her, he turned to look at Ling Ran and asked him coldly, “What happened?”

Ling Ran’s expression turned stern, and he briefly told them what had happened.

Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng’s expressions became even uglier. “Do you remember what those people looked like?”

Ling Ran shook his head. “At that time, my mind was on Yue. By the time I reacted, those people had already entered the car. I did not see their faces.”

“What about the license plate number?”

“The license plate number was covered.”

“It’s covered?” Zhao Youlin frowned.

The license plate number was deliberately covered so that people could not easily trace it. It was undeniable that this had been a premeditated kidnapping.

“Although I didn’t see the license plate number, I did remember the appearance of the car. It was a light golden van.”

Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng looked at each other. Although they knew that the kidnapper had already changed the car or hid it to avoid the limelight, they still had a glimmer of hope.

“Let’s get the investigations going. Also, get someone to check the surveillance footage near Joy’s kindergarten and see if they can trace some route.”

The few of them nodded at the same time. Mu Tingfeng saw Zhao Youlin lowering her head with a worried look on her face. He couldn’t help but reach out and hold her hand. “Don’t worry too much. Since it’s a premeditated kidnapping, then the kidnapper must have a motive. He will definitely take the initiative to look for us.”

Zhao Youlin nodded in response, but the worry on her face didn’t diminish in the slightest.

If those people kidnapped Joy for money, it would be fine, but what if it was something more?!

“Don’t let my parents and your parents know about this first.”

“Okay.” Mu Tingfeng understood Zhao Youlin’s worry and nodded in agreement. Even if Zhao Youlin said nothing, he didn’t plan to let the elders know about it. Otherwise, it would be a bloodbath.

Mu Tingfeng quickly took action and searched everywhere for the culprit who kidnapped Joy.

On the other side, Zhao Youming was experiencing the biggest crisis of his life.

The police officer who interrogated him had told him that before he could contact Zhao Youxi, he would first detain him at the police station. He thought that the guy was just trying to scare him, but it turned out to be true.

The police couldn’t contact Zhao Youxi for a few days, so Zhao Youming was truly detained at the police station for a few days.

In the end, Zhao Youming couldn’t take it anymore. He told the police officers that he had left something very important at home. He had to go home. It took him half a day to finally get the chance to go home.

At that moment, Zhao Youming cleverly shook off the policemen who had gone home with him to get the things and began his escape.

Zhao Youming changed his clothes and deliberately bought a hat and a mask to avoid being chased. Unexpectedly, at that moment, Zhao Youxi, who had fallen off the radar, called him on her own.

Zhao Youming looked at the number marked with the words “Zhao Youxi” on the display and his face darkened. He forced himself to suppress the resentment in his heart and picked up the phone.

“Hello, sister? Why haven’t you turned on your phone these days?”

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be in a good mood. She smiled as if she didn’t notice the resentment in Zhao Youming’s words. “I’ve been busy these days and can’t be in two places at once. I didn’t notice that my phone had been out of battery for a long time. Did you call me? What’s the matter?”

Zhao Youming became angrier when he heard this, and he was a little suspicious of Zhao Youxi’s words. “Busy with some things? What have you been busy with? You didn’t even notice that your phone was out of battery.”

After hearing Zhao Youming’s words, Zhao Youxi suddenly burst into laughter. “Youming, I called you today to tell you that I’ve gotten hold of Zhao Youlin’s little baby.”

“Zhao Youlin’s baby?” Zhao Youming was stunned for a moment, but he soon realized what Zhao Youxi meant. His eyes widened. “You can’t be…”

“That’s right, I’ve kidnapped Zhao Youlin’s child.”

“Sis, are you crazy?!” Zhao Youming exclaimed. Quickly realizing that his shout might draw people over, Zhao Youming hurriedly covered his mouth, looked around guiltily, and then said in a low voice, “Sis, why would you kidnap Zhao Youlin’s child? This is… a crime!”

Zhao Youxi snorted in disdain. “You mean, I should just compromise and keep my head down around that b*tch Zhao Youlin?”

“Sis, I… I didn’t mean that.” If it had been before he entered the police station, Zhao Youming would definitely be happy to know about this. After all, he had hoped that Zhao Youxi would do something shocking to attract everyone’s attention, but now… what was the use of Zhao Youxi doing such a thing? He had no way out!

“Zhao Youlin, that b*tch, killed mom, chased me and you out of the Zhao family, and destroyed our family. She caused us so much pain. Do you think I should just let her go? Youming, even if I have to sacrifice my life this time, I will make those b*tches who once harmed us suffer a fate worse than death!”

At that moment, Zhao Youming no longer had the energy to care about Zhao Youxi’s disappearance for the past few days. His mind was filled with the thought that Zhao Youxi had truly gone crazy. She would actually go to such lengths, but on second thought, he could understand.

After Zhao Youxi finished speaking, she saw that Zhao Youming did not respond for a long time and replied in a muffled voice, “Alright, I just wanted to tell you so that you can be mentally prepared. Now that I’ve finished speaking, I’ll hang up first.”

When Zhao Youming heard that Zhao Youxi was about to hang up the phone, his expression changed again and he said hurriedly, “Wait, sister, I still have something to say.”

The person on the other end of the phone waited. “What is it?”

Zhao Youming gritted his teeth and hesitated for a long time. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he said in a deep voice, “Sister, can you count me in on this matter?”

“Count you in?” On the other end of the phone, Zhao Youxi just happened to reveal a surprised tone. Then, she said firmly, “No!”
