Chapter 22 Kidnapped with Son

When Yu Yan woke up, she felt her body was bound, and she knew that the ominous premonition she had when she entered the elevator had come true.

She was kidnapped.

To be precise, it was them.

There's also Gan Xiaoxing and Xiang Chu.

The moment Yu Yan realized that her son had been kidnapped along with her, she felt a chill run through her heart and her entire body went cold.

But they also instantly entered a calm and defensive mode.

This must be a warehouse. It was dark and damp. Yu Yan's hands and feet were tied, so she could only shuffle over to Xiang Chu and nudge him with her head. "Xiao Chu... wake up."

Feeling his abnormal body temperature, Yu Yan's heart tightened, and she touched her son's face and forehead with her lips.

He really does have a fever!

Xiang Chu felt waves of coldness wash over him, and it felt like some animal was licking him...

With difficulty, Xiang Chu opened her eyes and saw a face magnified in front of her. Startled, she was immediately told by Yu Yan, "It's me, it's Mom. Don't be afraid."

Her voice, though concerned, carried a hint of calm, which gradually soothed Xiang Chu's panicked heart.

Gan Xiaoxing, who was bound hand and foot in the corner, slowly opened her eyes. With a hiss, she felt the restraints on her body and panicked. "Where am I? What happened?"

Adults' panic only increases children's fear.

Yu Yan frowned slightly, let Xiang Chu lean on her, and calmly said to Gan Xiaoxing, "It's nothing, just kidnapped."

"..."

For a moment, Gan Xiaoxing wondered if there was something wrong with her ears, otherwise how could she not understand human speech?

What does that mean?

They've been kidnapped!

That's all!

"Why did you kidnap us? For money, or for sex?"

Gan Xiaoxing's voice trembled noticeably in the darkness. She had never experienced anything like this before and didn't know why she was going through this.

Yu Yan, however, comforted her like a robot, without any emotion: "Calm down."

"How can you expect me to stay calm?" Gan Xiaoxing screamed, heading towards Yu Yan. "Why are you so calm? Are you in cahoots with them? Yu Yan, what are you trying to do?!"

"Keep your voice down, don't scare the child."

Yu Yan disliked that she was too loud. While Gan Xiaoxing was shouting, she had already untied the ropes and untied Xiang Chu's restraints.

"Xiao Chu, how are you?" Yu Yan hugged him and kissed him, patting his back to comfort him, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay. You have a slight fever, we'll go to the hospital in a bit."

Xiang Chu felt stiff and cold all over. His godmother's screams frightened him, but... the woman's calmness made him feel that being "kidnapped" was not a big deal.

Seeing that Yu Yan had untied the rope, Gan Xiaoxing immediately twisted her body to try to untie it as well. However, even after twisting her body into a pretzel shape, she still couldn't find the knot. Instead, the more she struggled, the tighter the rope became, causing her wrists to ache.

"Hiss..." Gan Xiaoxing winced in pain as Yu Yan carried Xiang Chu over and untied the ropes for her.

Looking at her practiced movements and incredibly calm expression, Gan Xiaoxing was completely stunned.

"You're really not on their side? You wouldn't be staging this all along, trying to play the hero in front of Xiang Chu, would you?"

Yu Yan glanced at Gan Xiaoxing indifferently, stunned by her thought process.

Are you sick?

Gan Xiaoxing: "..."

The three had barely gained their freedom when the warehouse door was kicked open.

The loud noise startled Gan Xiaoxing and Xiang Chu. Yu Yan pulled Xiang Chu closer to her and instinctively covered his ears as she looked at the seven or eight burly men who had appeared in the warehouse.

The other party came on aggressively, and their fierce aura made Gan Xiaoxing tremble. She subconsciously hid behind Yu Yan and pushed her forward.

If it's just robbery, that's one thing; at worst, you can lose money to avoid disaster. But if the other party is after your virtue... Gan Xiaoxing thought for the first time that Yu Yan is prettier than her, so if anyone's going to be robbed, it should be her first!

I want to be completely innocent.

"It's you again." Yu Yan looked at the thin, weasel-faced man standing at the front, her expression cold, and frowned.

The monkey gave a sinister smile. "Beautiful PhD, we meet again."

Gan Xiaoxing suddenly looked at Yu Yan.

Her profile was incredibly cold and aloof. Even in such dim lighting and a dirty warehouse, Yu Yan's face was still so white it glowed, without a single pore visible. Gan Xiaoxing gritted her teeth in envy.

Yu Yan looked very impatient. "You've been bothering me for so long, chasing me all the way from N City. Aren't you tired?"

"Making money is nothing to be ashamed of."

The monkey pulled out a chair from the corner, sat down, crossed his legs, and fiddled with a butterfly knife. Looking at the child in Yu Yan's arms, he raised his chin and asked, "Is this your son?"

"A question you already know the answer to."

Yu Yan said coldly, "You're just doing this for money, it doesn't matter whose money you make. You're here for me, so I'll stay and we'll talk things out. This has nothing to do with my son or the woman next to him. Call his father, and you can discuss how much you want with him."

The monkey chuckled, "As expected of Dr. Yu, still as decisive and efficient as ever."

He scratched his head with a smug grin. "We're after the money, but you're worth way more than them. The chips you have are worth at least a billion."

Gan Xiaoxing's eyes widened suddenly. So they were after the chips!
