Chapter 53: Love and hate, conspiracy and intrigue An Huaixu was stunned...
An Huaixu stood there in a daze.
His mind went blank.
When Shi Yu goes out to play, he either looks for him or Qi Ze, and never goes anywhere else!
An Huaixu subconsciously felt something was wrong.
Although he was stubborn, he still said whatever he wanted to say about the situation and told everyone what had happened.
Mother An frowned and was about to say something when Mother Shi grabbed her arm.
"Liu Qing..."
An's mother's name is Yu Liuqing. She and Shi's mother Fang Yunhan met at a party. They hit it off immediately and quickly became good friends.
Shi's mother watched An Huaixu grow up and knew the child's character well.
She comforted An Huaixu first and told him not to worry: "Maybe this kid has grown up and gone somewhere else to play!"
An Huaixu didn't know if it was because he exercised too much or something else, but his heart just couldn't calm down.
He looked up at the sky, and the glaring sunlight made him dizzy.
Is this really the case?
Although Shi Yu loves to play, he has a strong sense of safety and never goes to unfamiliar places alone.
This is also an important reason why Shi’s parents feel at ease letting their children go out and play by themselves.
And today.
But An Huaixu inexplicably felt that things were not that simple.
Even when he saw his mother sending people to look for him, he still felt uneasy sitting next to her.
At first, Shi's mother comforted An Huaixu and occasionally told a few funny stories about Shi Yu to amuse him.
But the longer the time went on, the less she smiled, until the curve of her mouth was completely suppressed. She picked up her phone and walked over to call Shi's father.
An Huaixu calculated silently in his mind.
Thirty-one minutes and fifty-four seconds had passed since he discovered Shi Yu was missing...
An's mother also sensed something was wrong and quickly called An's father to explain the situation.
After Shi's father came back, he first checked the surveillance footage, locked onto the last place Shi Yu had visited before he disappeared, and went to look for him personally.
To no avail.
Even after calling the police, they still had no clue about the child's disappearance.
After a day, there was still no sign of Shi Yu.
No one even knew who leaked the news, but the news that 'the young master of the Shi family is missing' instantly swept the entire Internet.
The Shih board of directors meeting was cancelled due to various reasons.
For a time, there were many different opinions.
Father An dealt with the public opinions quickly. He looked like a dozen years older than the brothers who had a life-and-death friendship.
He thought of Shi Yu's lively and lovely face, and all the words of comfort were suddenly blocked in his throat.
Shi's father stood in front of the monitor, staring at Shi Yu's small figure on the screen, silent.
Shi's mother realized something and started to cry while hugging An's mother.
Father An: "The security there is the most stringent. Being able to avoid the guards and surveillance is definitely beyond our expectations."
Father Shi rubbed his brows and said, "Hmm. This person is extremely meticulous. I can't even think of who it is now."
Father An lit up the cigarette ash, and white mist swirled in the air, lifting everyone's heart to the top.
Father Shi's voice darkened: "Then kill them all. We can always kill the right one."
Father An patted his shoulder and said, "You think you are in the past, forget it. I have contacted the most professional team to cooperate with the police. You haven't slept for a day and a night, take a break, I'm here."
After saying this, Father An turned around and looked at An Huaixu who was walking obediently on the chair.
The child has been sitting there motionless for a long time.
He sighed. This incident definitely had a significant impact on him.
He walked up to An Huaixu and touched his head.
An Huaixu buried his head deeper and said in a very small voice: "Shi Yu..."
Father An: "It will be fine."
An Huaixu: "It's all my fault."
An's father answered the phone and didn't hear clearly his words of self-blame.
After An's father left, the house became very quiet, with only the sound of his mother crying lingering in the ears.
Outside, there was a deafening roar of thunder and lightning striking from the pitch-black night sky, as if splitting the peaceful exterior of City A in half.
At the same time, in an uninhabited area on the outskirts of the city, a white SUV passed through an abandoned factory and entered City N from another rugged road.
The car was driving very fast and disappeared at the end of the road in a short while.
Dust rose and fell, covering most of the wheel marks.
Inside the SUV.
A man wearing a hood in the passenger seat was arguing with someone in the back seat.
The two of them gradually became more intense.
Shi Yu had a splitting headache and was shaken awake. Before he could even move his eyelids, he heard a mumbling voice in his ear—
A voice from farther away: "Fuck! All the police in the city have been dispatched over there. What should we do?"
The voice closer was obviously more malicious: "You should know Shi Wei's methods. Once we take this step, there is no turning back."
"I just want to teach Shi Wei a lesson and make him voluntarily give up the management rights of the branch."
Where they couldn't see, Shi Yu's eyelashes trembled.
Shi Wei?
It's my father's name.
His consciousness was already completely clear, and he knew that something was wrong with his current situation, so he chose to continue pretending to be unconscious.
In the past, his parents often played the kidnappers and police game with him, so in this situation, he knew what to do to protect himself.
He quietly opened his eyes a little and observed the situation inside the car.
The man in the driver's seat looked ordinary, someone he had never seen before.
The man in the passenger seat was wearing a hood and his voice sounded familiar.
The man beside him——
Shi Yu glanced at it, a little shocked.
This person turned out to be my father’s good friend, Uncle Tian Qiming!
This uncle has followed my father since he started his business. My father said that the two of them have been in business together for many years, and their relationship has become as deep as that of brothers.
Unexpectedly...
Tian Qiming was probably a little nervous and did not notice the small movements of the child next to him.
He kept stroking the beads in his hand, taking deep breaths, trying to stabilize the situation in the car.
"What the hell, his precious son is in our hands! If he dares to act rashly, we'll just kill him. Anyway, I won't be able to get up again after I leave!"
Shi Yu used to like Uncle Tian very much. Every time he came to his house, he would share his favorite things with him.
Uncle Tian would also play with him in a very gentle manner.
But later on, Uncle Tian suddenly stopped coming. He missed him terribly for a while and often pestered his father to find him.
The appearance of Uncle Tian in Shi Yu's memory and him now are completely two different people.
Shi Yu shuddered and curled his fingers imperceptibly.
If you look closely, you can see that his arms are actually trembling slightly.
He is very scared.
I don’t know why Uncle Tian treated him like this.
The man in the passenger seat said something else, which meant that if they handed the child over to the police without anyone knowing, they might get a lighter sentence.
Unexpectedly, his words seemed to anger Tian Qiming.
He immediately tensed up and uttered more and more foul language.
After a while, the man in the passenger seat fell silent.
Tian Qiming calmed down and lit a cigarette.
After a while, he seemed to remember something, snorted and laughed, and said sarcastically: "Zheng Lin, you were the one who proposed this plan, why are you pretending to be a good guy now?"
Uncle Zheng?!
Shi Yu's heart rose and fell violently.
Tian Qiming seemed to have noticed his abnormality and hummed.
Shi Yu immediately pretended to be sleeping soundly and smacked his lips.
Tian Qiming was not someone who could be easily fooled. He stared at him coldly for a few minutes, and only shifted his gaze after confirming that the man had not woken up.
Zheng Lin asked him puzzledly: "What are you looking at?"
Tian Qiming: "I always feel that this kid has woken up."
He said, slowly extending his hand.
Zheng Lin didn't take it seriously, thinking that the child was about to wake up and would have been crying and shouting for his parents.
"Are you having hallucinations again? Do you have your medicine with you?"
Tian Qiming took a deep breath, hummed, and changed the subject: "Zheng Lin, let me tell you, if I hadn't given Shi Wei advice behind the scenes, do you think he would have gotten to where he is today?"
Shi Yu had heard from his father that he and Tian Qiming had worked together in their early years, and the career development trend at that time was indeed Tian Qiming's suggestion that allowed him to move up a level, but -
In the early days, he listened to Tian Qiming's advice and acquired a poor area as a new development site, and he made his first pot of gold at that time.
But as time went by, the differences in their styles became more and more obvious, and quarrels broke out intermittently.
To put it bluntly, Shi Wei was the one who stabbed others openly, while Tian Qiming stabbed them in the back and was extremely selfish, insidious, cunning and vicious.
After this, Shi Wei never adopted Tian Qiming's suggestions again.
Under his full leadership, the company developed steadily and finally reached the top.
The wheels rolled over a hard rock and jolted.
No one spoke, and the eerily quiet atmosphere instantly swept through the hearts of everyone present.
Shi Yu held his breath, afraid that his thunderous heartbeat would be caught by them.
A few more seconds passed.
Shi Yu first heard a friction sound, and then Zheng Lin's voice came more clearly.
Shi Yu opened his eyes a little and saw from the reflection in the car window that Zheng Lin had taken off his hood.
Zheng Lin seemed to disagree with Tian Qiming's words, but was afraid of his authority, so he refuted without much confidence:
"I've heard from others that you act in an extreme way, while Shi Wei is more conservative. The two of you have often argued because of your different ideas."
After all, he was promoted by Shi Wei. "Shi Wei built his company himself. Otherwise, why is it called Shi's?"
Shi Yu heard a hint from this - Zheng Lin and Tian Qiming have different ideas. Zheng Lin might want to use him to threaten his father, and he doesn't want his life.
But Tian Qiming is different. He hates his father from the bottom of his heart, and he wants much more than Zheng Lin.
If they found out that he was awake later, he might be able to ask Zheng Lin for help.
Shi Yu has been learning from his father since he was young, and he understands many things at a glance.
But he was still young after all, and he underestimated the evil of human nature.
After hearing what Zheng Lin said, Tian Qiming seemed to be angered. His breathing became heavier and he kept groping for the handle of the knife in his hand.
Zheng Lin is now quite nervous, staring intently at the dark path ahead.
They should have gone into the mountains. The mountain road was winding, rugged and extremely difficult to walk on.
