Chapter 137 Kidnapping Xia Xingxing

The sky was overcast and a light, gray drizzle began to fall.

The capital city is coldest at night.

At midnight, there were hardly any people on the streets.

Xia Ningxi searched all the places Xia Xingxing might have been, but couldn't find any trace of her. Feeling helpless, she tripped and fell in her haste, scraping her feet.

"Ningxi, are you alright?" Xia Jingcheng rushed forward to help Xia Ningxi up.

Xia Ningxi ignored her injuries and continued searching.

Although Xia Xingxing is often away from home, she always lets her family know she is safe after she leaves.

However, neither Xia Ningxi nor Xia Jingcheng received any messages from Xia Xingxing tonight.

Amusement parks, kindergartens, hospitals, supermarkets, and convenience stores—Xia Xingxing was nowhere to be found. Xia Ningxi was so worried that tears streamed down her face.

Xia Jingcheng said, "Could it be that Xingxing went to play with her best friend?"

"Xingxing has just arrived in the capital and doesn't have many friends."

As soon as Xia Ningxi finished speaking, Huo Yuan's face appeared in her mind.

"Could Xingxing have gone looking for Huo Yuan?" Xia Ningxi asked.

She quickly found her phone and called Huo Yuan.

Huo Yuan was still awake at this hour, curled up in a corner looking rather aggrieved. Hearing his smartwatch ring, he immediately answered the call.

"Ah Yuan, are the stars with you?" Xia Ningxi pressed.

Huo Yuan was completely bewildered: "He's not here. What happened to Xingxing? Has he disappeared?"

"He's not here... then it's alright." Xia Ningxi didn't dare tell Huo Yuan what had happened.

She was about to hang up the phone.

Huo Yuan quickly asked, "Mommy, has Xingxing disappeared?"

"Okay, don't worry, I'm already looking for him," Xia Ningxi reassured her.

Seeing that it was getting late, she said, "You should go to sleep now, I'm hanging up."

Xia Ningxi quickly hung up the phone.

Huo Yuan wanted to say something more, but when he heard a beep from his smartwatch, he became anxious and ran to the window to look outside, only to find that it was raining.

It's so late, where could the stars have gone?

Could he have been kidnapped by bad guys?

Huo Yuan was very worried, so he grabbed an umbrella and ran out.

"Young Master, Young Master! Where are you going?"

Only after Huo Yuan had run far away did the gatekeeper notice that the small figure was Huo Yuan, and he quickly chased after him.

But it was too dark at night, and Huo Yuan ran very fast, so he disappeared in no time. The gatekeeper was so frightened that he hurriedly ran back to the old house to report.

"Young Master Huo, something terrible has happened! The young master has run away!"

"What did you say?" Huo Nanxiao abruptly put down the file in his hand and glared angrily at the doorman standing outside.

The gatekeeper said, "The young master just ran out."

brush--

Huo Nanxiao stood up and strode out quickly.

It's drizzling outside.

The sky was pitch black, the streetlights were dim, and there was no sign of Huo Yuan anywhere.

Several guards who had gone to chase after Huo Yuan ran back.

Huo Nanxiao angrily grabbed one of them by the collar and asked sternly, "Where is the young master?"

"The young master is missing," the gatekeeper answered tremblingly.

They had just searched the surrounding area but couldn't find any trace of Huo Yuan, so they had no choice but to return and seek support.

"waste."

Huo Nanxiao cursed angrily and immediately mobilized hundreds of servants from the Huo family to go out and find Huo Yuan.

The rain was getting heavier.

Huo Nanxiao was extremely anxious.

He didn't know where Huo Yuan could go so late, or where he might be going.

Could it be that Huo Yuan left home in anger because he had insulted him?

Huo Nanxiao's steps quickened.

Lu Qi returned with his men, but found himself alone.

Huo Nanxiao asked sternly, "Where is the young master?"

"Didn't find it." Lu Qi's face was very pale, and his voice was trembling.

Huo Nanxiao was furious: "Go check the surveillance footage!"

"Okay." Lu Qi didn't dare to delay.

However, after reviewing the surveillance footage, it was discovered that Huo Yuan got into a taxi shortly after leaving the Huo family. Huo Nanxiao could only trace the taxi's whereabouts, and eventually found that the car had stopped in front of Xia Ningxi's house.

Huo Yuan ran away from home so late at night just to find Xia Ningxi.

Huo Nanxiao was shocked and, disregarding everything else, rushed to Xia Ningxi's house, only to find that the lights were off.

Bang bang bang.

Huo Nanxiao knocked on the door anxiously.

No one responded.

"Could the young master not be inside?" Lu Qi asked doubtfully.

Huo Nanxiao said, "If he's not looking for Xia Ningxi this late, who else could he be looking for?"

The person must be at Xia Ningxi's house.

But no one answered the door after knocking for a long time, and no one turned on the lights inside. Could it be that no one lives inside?

Or perhaps Xia Ningxi secretly ran away with Huo Yuan?

Huo Nanxiao's face turned extremely ugly. With a gloomy expression, he said to Lu Qi, "Immediately seal off all exits of the Imperial City."

"Yes, ma'am." Lu Qi immediately did as Huo Nanxiao instructed.

At the same time, Huo Nanxiao made a phone call to Ye Su.

Within half an hour, all vehicles attempting to leave the capital city—from the airport and high-speed rail station to toll booths along the way—were intercepted.

The entire imperial city was completely sealed off.

At that moment, a black car that was about to enter the highway saw the densely packed guards from afar, immediately turned around, and drove into a nearby country road.

The car was parked outside an abandoned warehouse.

After the two menacing-looking men carried a child into the warehouse, they made a phone call to Xia Luoluo.

Xia Luoluo was furious: "Didn't I tell you to take them away from the Imperial City?"

One of the scarred men replied, "All the roads out of the city are blocked; we can't get out."

"How is this possible? Have you been discovered?" Charlotte asked anxiously.

The scarred man said, "I don't know. We can't get out now. What are we going to do?"

"You can handle it yourselves. I've already given you the money. Just don't let me see him in the capital again." Xia Luoluo slammed down the phone.

The scarred man had a dark expression.

The younger brother asked, "Boss, what should we do with this kid?"

"Throw it into the river," the scarred man replied.

The younger brother said, "He looks kind of familiar."

"Where does it look familiar?" the scarred man asked.

The younger brother thought for a moment and said, "I remember now, isn't this the son of the richest man who's been making the news a lot lately? The Huo family's grandson!"

"How could the Huo family's grandson possibly live in that wretched place?" the scarred man said with obvious disgust.

They kidnapped this child from a very dilapidated two-story house in the suburbs, how could he possibly be a child of the Huo family?

“It really is! If I’m not mistaken, look at the photo on this phone. Doesn’t he look exactly like the young master of the Huo family?” The underling immediately searched for a photo of Huo Yuan online.

When everyone looked at Xia Xingxing, who was unconscious to the side, they realized that she looked exactly like Huo Yuan.

"This kid is really a child of the Huo family?" Scarface was extremely shocked.

Within ten minutes, Huo Nanxiao's phone rang urgently.
