Chapter 318 I'm Going to Settle the Score with Li Tingxi

Yangyang doubled her output: "Mr. Li seems to be a womanizer who can remain untouched by a single petal. Please be sensible and stay away from my sister."

"Otherwise, I won't be so lenient next time." After threatening, Yangyang called out, "Xingxing, take Yueyue to the car."

Even though Yueyue was unwilling, seeing Yangyang's powerful and cold aura, she trembled and obediently took Xingxing's hand and got into the car.

She even peeked out halfway through to say goodbye to Li Tingxi, "Goodbye, handsome uncle. Thank you for the nutritious meal, it was super delicious."

Li Tingxi smiled, intending to say, "If you like it, I'll take you to try it next time," but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yangyang give him a warning look before quickly closing the car window.

Whoosh!

The car drove off, leaving Li Tingxi with a mouthful of exhaust fumes.

Li Tingxi's handsome face darkened. "..."

You brat!

She has quite a temper!

Just as he was pondering what grudge he had against Yueyue's mother, Qin He ran over breathlessly, "President Li, we...we caught them!"

Li Tingxi's face turned cold, and his eyes immediately became sinister. "Bring him here. I will interrogate him myself."

After taking Yueyue back, he secretly instructed Qin He to retrieve the surveillance footage near the subway station entrance and to catch those two bastards as soon as possible.

He's going to teach those two audacious bastards a lesson they won't forget!

Unexpectedly, Qin He looked troubled and said, "I'm afraid we can't conduct the interrogation."

Li Tingxi frowned: "What's going on?"

"When we took people to arrest them, the two panicked and fled into the construction site. They were accidentally hit by a motor and seriously injured, and were hospitalized. They are still unconscious." Qin He looked pale and, facing his boss's stormy face, felt wronged.

Who knew those two guys were so stupid yet so brave? Relying on their familiarity with the terrain, they played hide-and-seek everywhere, eventually even hiding inside the construction site.

It was quite a coincidence that the construction site had electricity.

The machine was already used up for the day, so it should have been turned off.

Unexpectedly, whether due to worker negligence or not, the appliance was left outside with the power on, which allowed those two unlucky guys to run into it.

"However, I have found out about these two men's backgrounds—they are local thugs who do nothing but petty theft and small-time smuggling. They have a bad reputation in the area and are also gamblers, so they often hide and have no family or fixed abode."

Li Tingxi's eyes flashed, and he suddenly remembered what Yueyue had said. His face darkened. "Do they have a record of human trafficking?"

Qin He paused for a moment, flipped through the documents, and shook his head firmly. "No. Nowadays, it's practically a pipe dream to abduct women and children in a city like this. Even if it happened, it would be a well-planned operation by a gang. These two people always work alone, and they're not that bold. They've never abducted children before."

Now that you mention it, the two of them suddenly targeting Yueyue today does seem a bit strange.

Child trafficking is a serious crime, far more serious than the minor offenses they committed that resulted in only a few days of detention.

Even if they're incredibly stupid, they wouldn't go so far as to harm themselves like this!

A cold glint flashed in Li Tingxi's eyes as he gritted his teeth and ordered, "Immediately investigate who those two have been in contact with recently, and whether they've exhibited any unusual behavior, especially today!"

There may be someone behind this.

I just don't know if the person behind this is targeting Yueyue and her family, or if they're after me.

"Catch the mastermind as soon as possible, and show no leniency!" Li Tingxi's face was grim, his expression ruthless as if he wanted to tear someone to pieces.

This startled Qin He, who quickly accepted the order and left.

The boss seems even more nervous about Yueyue than about Lele.

If he didn't know the truth, he would have thought Yueyue was the boss's biological daughter!

Li Tingxi returned to his office, still feeling uneasy after much deliberation. He continued to try to contact Yangyang, but the contact information he received only allowed him to make the call himself.

When I called the number myself, it was a dead number.

On the qualities of a top-tier hacker...

Li Tingxi sighed and glanced at the sky.

Later, Yueyue's mom should finish work and come home.

Then, he called Yueyue again and explained what had happened that day.

At the very least, it will raise awareness among Yueyue's family.

...

Meanwhile, Yueyue returned home with her brothers, looking dejected. Seeing that neither her mother nor godmother was home, she perked up a bit and whispered, "Brother Xingxing, doesn't Mommy know I'm lost?"

"I don't know." Xingxing paused, then snorted. "You didn't just get lost, you ran away from home! That's a huge mistake!"

Yueyue lowered her head, fiddling with her fingertips with a wronged expression. "I thought I'd be back soon. I even checked the route before I left, but who knew..."

She suddenly covered her mouth, glancing guiltily at Yangyang and Xingxing, afraid that she might say something wrong and reveal the bad guys she had met that day.

If her brother and mother find out, they definitely won't let her go out anymore!

Xingxing looked at her, puzzled. "Who knows what?"

"Oh...who knew I forgot my smartwatch and couldn't contact the handsome uncle, so I waited for a long time before I finally got to see him." Yueyue patted her tummy, looking down to hide her guilty expression.

#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!

Oh dear, I was starving! Luckily, the handsome uncle found Yueyue in the end and bought me lots and lots of delicious food.

Yangyang narrowed his eyes dangerously, staring at Yueyue's lowered head, a dark light flashing in his eyes—Yueyue was lying!

Xingxing, however, didn't notice anything strange. She poked her younger sister's head and said, "Even if you run out by yourself, you can't go without your phone. Don't you know how worried we are when we can't reach you?"

He threatened fiercely, "Godmother said there are many human traffickers outside who specialize in kidnapping children and selling them to the mountains to be beaten, scolded, and forced to do hard labor. You won't even have water to drink, let alone food!"

Yueyue knew the danger of human traffickers, but having almost been kidnapped by bad guys before, and now being threatened by Xingxing, she trembled with fear, her eyes instantly reddening. "Waaah, I...I'm scared!"

Her eyes reddened, and her voice trembled with tears, startling Xingxing. She quickly ran over, grabbed Xingxing's little hand, and comforted her, "Oh dear, I was just teasing you... Don't cry, what if Mommy comes back and thinks I bullied you!"

Yueyue cried so hard she could only hiccup. She hugged Xingxing, looking incredibly aggrieved, tears streaming down her face. It seemed like only by hugging her brother could she find the courage to face her fear.

Yangyang suddenly walked over with a serious expression, grabbed Yueyue's hand, and asked, "Did you encounter human traffickers?"

Xingxing was shocked: "Human traffickers?!"

When did Yueyue say that?

How come he didn't hear it?

"Brother, I was just teasing Yueyue, please don't scare her anymore!" Xingxing thought Yangyang had misunderstood her, so she quickly protected Yueyue from getting a spanking. "She knows she was wrong, so why don't you just scold her a little this time? Yueyue has been crying so pitifully."

Yangyang looked coldly at Yueyue, who was crying incessantly. The more heartbroken she felt, the angrier she became. "You won't tell, huh? I'm going to settle the score with Li Tingxi!"
