Chapter 413: Solemnity



That night, Ji Baichuan had already gone to bed, but suddenly heard someone outside shouting "Fire".

After asking the servants, they found out that the fire started in the woodshed.

That's where the little brat who was kidnapped was imprisoned.

Realizing something was wrong, Ji Baichuan put on his clothes and hurried to the woodshed, only to find that the person was missing.

The window was open, and it was obvious that he had set the fire to attract attention, then climbed out of the window and ran away.

After all, he is just a child under seven years old, how far can he run?

Ji Baichuan chased out and caught the man, and was about to take him back, but unexpectedly, the little brat took out a nail from his sleeve and stabbed it into his body quickly and accurately.

Ji Baichuan let go of the little boy because of the pain, and the little boy fell to the ground. He didn't cry or scream, but stood up and ran away while the boy was in pain and couldn't speak.

The short legs ran very fast.

Seriously injured, he couldn't make it any further, so he had to send his bodyguards to chase him, but they never came back.

Later, he sent people to search and found the bodyguard's body in the mountains and forests, which had been eaten beyond recognition by wild beasts.

The little boy disappeared without a trace, and no one knew whether he was dead or alive.

It is very likely that he was taken away by wild beasts because of his small body, but Ji Baichuan's own experience tells him that if there is no body found after death, it is likely that he is still alive.

Just as expected.

The bodyguard, an adult male with some skills, died in the wilderness. Ji Baichuan was really curious about how a little kid who was less than seven years old managed to help the bodyguard escape.

Because the window of the woodshed was originally nailed shut with wooden strips, the nail must have been pulled out of the wooden frame when the window was removed.

However, it is still incredible that a child under seven years old with his hands tied could break free, remove the nailed window and escape.

What puzzles Ji Baichuan to this day is how that guy set his house on fire without any fire source.

If he had known that kidnapping that kid would not only be ineffective, but would also burn down his house and make him unable to have children, he would definitely not kidnap that lunatic.

The matter was of great importance. In order to avoid any tampering, Chu Xuan personally sent the sample to the Fu family's private hospital and handed it over to a reliable doctor for testing.

I happened to meet Fu Siyan in the hospital.

"Why are you here?" They both asked almost at the same time, but the moment they asked the question, they already had the answer in their hearts.

Something happened.

Upon learning that Chen Huan was injured, Chu Xuan followed him to the ward to visit him. As they walked, he told Fu Siyan in detail about the message Ji Baichuan had sent.

When Fu Siyan heard Chu Xuan mention Ji Baichuan, he instantly understood where the assassins who besieged him tonight came from.

"So, your sister is still alive and in Ji Baichuan's hands?"

Chu Xuan frowned, "Although the results haven't come out yet, it's pretty close. If it were fake, how could Ji Baichuan dare to so blatantly send the sample to us for testing ourselves?"

"If the test results come out and it turns out that Ji Baichuan is holding your sister, what are you and Uncle Chu going to do?"

To be honest, Chu Xuan doesn’t know yet.

He didn't even know what kind of identification results he wanted to get.

If the test confirms that the father and daughter are together, the good news is that the sister is still alive, but the bad news is that she is not doing well, and what to do next is also a problem.

Seeing Chu Xuan's silence, Fu Siyan's cynical face showed a rare solemnity.

If the daughter of the Chu family were still alive, she would be 21 years old this year, just like Chen Huan.

Living a life worse than death may be more heartbreaking for loved ones than death itself. One can imagine how the Chu family felt when they suddenly learned that their daughter/sister had endured more than 20 years of torture at the hands of their mortal enemy.

It is certainly not advisable to exchange one life for another, not to mention that it cannot be exchanged at all.

But they certainly couldn't abandon the girl.

The Chu family was indeed in a passive position in this situation as they were being held at a weak spot and were not on their own territory.

After a moment of silence, Fu Siyan spoke again: "Those assassins are from Country K. Ji Baichuan is very likely hiding in Country K. Given his cunningness, the place for the meeting will definitely be his own base camp.

Moreover, when Ji Baichuan receives the reply from the Chu family confirming the appointment, he will definitely give a very limited time for arrival.

It would be too late to prepare after receiving the address he gave me. If I delay for too long, it will inevitably arouse his suspicion and I am afraid he will move to another place.

After the appraisal results come out, don't rush to agree. After all, the matter is of great importance. It is reasonable to weigh it carefully.

I will first try to find out where he is hiding by following the clues. After confirming his exact location, I will try to contact the local military.

If it's really Country K, I have connections there, and the Fu family's overseas market has expanded to many regions, so other countries shouldn't be a problem either."
