Chapter 849: It may not be possible if we delay any longer
Ye Wanxi's hand, which was reaching for her chopsticks, stiffened slightly. She was so shocked by this unexpected turn of events that she almost gasped for breath.
Fortunately, Xiao Yuti keenly sensed the unusual atmosphere and coughed lightly, saying, "Qianqian, there are many kinds of liking. Just like Daddy likes Qianqian and also likes Mommy, so Daddy will peel shrimp for Qianqian and also for Mommy."
As Xiao Yuti spoke, he placed the peeled shrimp into his wife's bowl.
"So, my brother's affection for Sister Wanxi is just like my father's affection for my mother."
This explanation is undoubtedly a bit too profound for Sisi. At least for her at this stage, she doesn't quite understand the difference between her father's love for her mother and his love for her.
Fortunately, the delicious food shut her up, and she didn't dwell on the issue anymore, which made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief.
After lunch, Ye Wanxi played with Qianqian at the Xiao family's house for a while longer. Thinking that it was getting late and that if she stayed any longer she would have to have dinner at the Xiao family's house as well, she hurriedly got up to say goodbye and left the Xiao family's house.
As a result, she had only been home for a short time when she received a call from Bai Haoqi.
"Ms. Ye, I'm sorry to bother you at this time, but I have something urgent to discuss and hope you can help me."
Ye Wanxi sensed the seriousness in Bai Haoqi's words, her brows furrowed slightly, and she asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
"My friend's wife and children have been kidnapped."
The friend Bai Haoqi mentioned was Zhai Yizhong, who had recently asked Ye Wanxi for help checking for unusual things at home.
When Ye Wanxi met Zhai Yizhong's wife, Ji Yafeng, she knew that he had recently been wronged by a villain and was very likely to be harmed by him.
Therefore, the couple was warned at the time to be wary of outsiders' schemes and plots.
Unexpectedly, it was ultimately unavoidable, and their child was also implicated.
Upon hearing that not only adults but also children had been arrested, Ye Wanxi frowned slightly: "What happened?"
"Here's what happened: Yizhong's child just started kindergarten. This evening, when the child was dismissed from school, Yizhong's grandmother waited at the school gate for a long time but couldn't find the child. Realizing something was wrong, she went into the kindergarten to look for the child and found that the child had already been taken away by a woman who claimed to be her aunt."
“My sister-in-law only has one daughter, she doesn’t have a younger sister at all, so how could the child have an aunt?” Grandma Yizhong realized something was wrong and immediately called Yizhong. Yizhong called the police right away and was about to contact his sister-in-law when he heard that when his sister-in-law was getting off work, a man wearing a black hood and carrying a knife suddenly rushed to the entrance of their workplace, injured several people, and kidnapped his sister-in-law.
With his daughter and wife both having accidents, one can imagine how devastated Zhai Yizhong must have been.
When Zhai Yizhong first heard that several people had been injured in a knife attack at his wife's workplace, he thought it was an indiscriminate act of revenge.
It was later learned that the men who were slashed were all his wife's colleagues who had a good relationship with her. When they saw his wife being kidnapped, they all wanted to rescue her.
Although the other side has weapons, there are also many of them, and a full-scale attack might not be without a chance of victory.
Unfortunately, they underestimated the enemy's madness and ferocity, and as a result, they not only failed to save the person but also got injured themselves.
The only saving grace is that although they were injured, most of them only suffered minor superficial wounds and were not in life-threatening danger.
Upon learning this, Zhai Yizhong immediately understood that these people were after his wife and children, or rather, after him!
He racked his brains but couldn't understand how he and his wife, who had always been kind to others and never made enemies, had gotten into trouble with such vicious and terrifying thugs.
"After my sister-in-law and child had the accident, Yi Zhong called the police immediately, but..."
But what he fears most now is that these two people are clearly targeting his family, and he is very worried about whether his wife and daughter are in danger.
Upon learning of this, Bai Haoqi rushed to the Zhai family's residence immediately.
Zhai Yizhong was like a headless fly, anxious and worried, completely losing his composure.
On the contrary, when Grandma Zhai saw Bai Haoqi, she immediately thought of Ye Wanxi and begged Bai Haoqi to ask Ye Wanxi for help.
After hearing Bai Haoqi's explanation, Ye Wanxi realized that the old lady had probably already seen through their intentions during their last meeting, and that she had also seen the creature hidden in their house...
"I understand. I'll go over now."
When Ye Wanxi answered the phone, Feng Tianyu had just been invited inside for a short visit. After listening to their conversation, he didn't say much, but simply stood up and said, "Let's go."
Human life was at stake, so Ye Wanxi and the other person didn't hesitate.
In just a few minutes, they appeared at the Zhai family's residence, which startled everyone in the family.
"What are you doing...?"
"I happened to be nearby, so I came over as soon as I got the call." Ye Wanxi glanced at the people in the room. Besides Zhai Yizhong, Bai Haoqi, and Grandma Zhai, there were two other well-dressed middle-aged couples with worried faces.
"Are these your father-in-law and mother-in-law?"
“Yes, yes.” Zhai Yizhong quickly introduced, “These are my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Father-in-law and mother-in-law, these are Miss Bai and Mr. Feng that Haoqi just mentioned.”
Just now, when the Ji couple heard Zhai Yizhong say that Bai Haoqi had asked a powerful friend for help, they assumed that this friend was a powerful police officer or a big shot with connections who could help find the person.
Who would have thought that these two young people would arrive?
In an instant, a hint of doubt arose in the hearts of the two.
Fortunately, they didn't show it. They simply greeted the two politely and then asked Zhai Yizhong about the situation of Ji Yafeng and her daughter.
"Have those two still not called?"
Zhai Yizhong shook his head with a solemn expression. If only there were some, at least we could be sure of Ji Yafeng and her daughter's safety, and there would still be a glimmer of hope.
What I fear most is that the other party doesn't want money at all, but their life!
"What should we do?" Mrs. Ji's eyes reddened with anxiety, and she clutched her chest, struggling to breathe, indicating she likely had a heart condition.
Seeing this, Mr. Ji quickly patted her back to help her catch her breath: "Don't panic, don't panic, Xiaofeng will be alright, and the child will be alright too. We need to stay calm, especially in times like these, and we absolutely cannot panic. Xiaofeng and the child are waiting for us to save them. If you collapse, who will save them?"
After her father's words of comfort, Ji's mother was finally able to pull herself together.
Bai Haoqi also sighed, walked to Ye Wanxi's side, and asked in a low voice, "Miss Ye, could you please help me check on my sister-in-law and the child...?"
“Alive.”
As soon as Ye Wanxi finished speaking, everyone in the room turned their attention to her.
"Judging from Mr. Zhai's appearance, he has not yet lost his wife and children."
Zhai Yizhong was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Ye Wanxi added, "But if it drags on any longer, things might not be so simple."
Zhai Yizhong: "!!!"
