"Dad, save us!"

Chen Wentao's gaze lingered on Chen Xinyi's alluring figure for a few seconds before he looked away, remaining silent for a moment before saying, "You two can go out first."

"oh."

The two nodded and turned to walk outside.

At this moment, the men in black also left the room, closed the door, and left the space to Chen Xinyu and Chen Wentao.

After seeing Chen Xinyi's parents leave, the Party Secretary of Jiangnan City slowly approached Chen Xinyu.

"Who are you?" Chen Xinyu's pupils contracted slightly upon seeing the unfamiliar man.

"Xiaoyu, I'm your father."

"dad?"

A thunderous explosion resounded in Chen Xinyu's mind.

"Are you my dad?"

"Yes, I am your father."

The Party Secretary of Jiangnan City nodded, then squatted down in front of Chen Xinyu, looked into her eyes, and said softly, "Xiaoyu, don't you remember? Do you remember when you were six years old, you encountered bad people on the street and almost got hit by a car?"

"That car, that's the one I was driving."

"Your father wanted to run away with you, but the police found out."

"Then the police caught up with us and arrested Dad. Do you remember?"

Upon hearing this, tears welled up in Chen Xinyu's beautiful eyes. Finally, unable to hold back any longer, she threw herself into the arms of the Party Secretary of Jiangnan City and burst into tears.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault, Dad. I was wrong, I shouldn't have been so willful and reckless. Please forgive me, Dad... Waaah."

Chen Wenyu hugged her father and burst into tears.

Chen Wentao also hugged his daughter tightly, tears welling up in his eyes, but in the end, they didn't fall.

After a long while, the two stopped crying. Chen Xinyu raised her head, looking at the Party Secretary of Jiangnan City with a face full of confusion, and asked, "Dad, how did you become like this? Are you like those men in black?"

Chen Xinyu's father shook his head, his face filled with deep regret and self-blame. "Xiaoyu, I'm sorry. It's all my fault for being too confident back then, which led to you and Mom being kidnapped. I shouldn't have made the decision to bring you to Jiangcheng. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have had to suffer like this."

Hearing her father's words, Chen Xinyu burst into tears again, overwhelmed with endless regret.

Back then, Chen Xinyu's mother passed away due to illness, leaving her and her sister to depend on each other for survival.

Because of their family's financial difficulties, both of them are in their final year of high school, so they are very busy with their studies.

But this busy schedule has actually made Chen Xinyu's mother's life a little better than before, since most of Chen Xinyu and her sister's tuition fees are earned by her through part-time jobs.

Although her father suggested this trip to Jiangcheng, Chen Xinyu felt it might be a good opportunity for her to find her own happiness in this unfamiliar city.

Therefore, she accepted her father's invitation without hesitation. Even when she came to Jiangcheng, Chen Xinyu secretly observed the surrounding environment, hoping to find a job that suited her.

However, when Chen Wenyu learned that her father was the mayor, she immediately gave up the idea.

She knew it was a huge gamble.

If she loses the bet, it will affect her and her sister's future; if she wins, they will have everything and enjoy wealth and luxury.

However, Chen Xinyu never expected that her luck would be so bad.

Having just arrived in Jiangcheng, they encountered such a thing. What they didn't expect was that the father in front of them was actually a terrifying military officer, to the point that even the police dared not take any rash action.

And at this moment, she finally understood why the man in black had shown such a fearful expression when he saw the Party Secretary of Jiangnan City. It turned out that he was not an ordinary person at all, but a real special forces soldier.

"Xiaoyu, Daddy is so sorry. Daddy shouldn't have brought you here. It's so dangerous here, I was afraid you..."

Upon hearing these words, a tear rolled down Chen Xinyu's cheek.

"Dad, is there no way we can escape?"

Seeing his daughter's desperate expression, Chen Wentao felt a pang of heartache. He gently stroked Chen Xinyu's hair and said tenderly, "No, Daddy will protect you."

"I...I'm scared."

As she spoke, tears streamed down Chen Xinyu's face.

She was very clever; from the conversation just now, she had already figured out that the person in front of her was her father, but she was not familiar with him, or even a stranger to him.

However, no matter what, Chen Xinyu's heart was still full of hope, hoping that her father could lead her to safety.

Looking at his daughter's pretty face, which was streaked with tears, Chen Wentao couldn't help but reach out and wipe away the tears from her cheeks.

"Don't cry, my dear child. Daddy will make sure you get out safely, I promise you."

Seeing her father's resolute expression, Chen Xinyu felt a little relieved.

She wanted to live, she wanted to continue living.

"Dad, why don't you tell the police? If the police know we're here, they definitely won't let us go. Please, please save us!"

"Xiaoyu, Daddy wants to too, but it's too late now. We're surrounded by the police, there's no way we can escape."

Chen Xinyu's face was slightly pale, but she still mustered her courage and said, "Dad, what should we do? Are we just supposed to sit here and wait to die?"

Chen Wentao gave a bitter smile and said, "Xiaoyu, do you know that the police are currently searching Jiangcheng? If they find you, it means that the three of us will be executed. All of this is because of my greed, my selfishness, and my disregard for your and Mom's safety."
