Chapter 309 Background
Huo Chang'an nodded coldly and said, "These people are truly lawless. Yan Xiao is risking his life to protect his country and fighting in the most dangerous places, but these people, enjoying the peaceful life that soldiers bring them, have done such heinous things. When I catch them, I will definitely shoot them all!"
Old Master Shao had no interest in listening to him, and instead pressed on, "You still haven't answered me. Among the kidnapped people, is there one named Xu Yirou?"
Huo Chang'an nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, there is a girl named Xu Yirou. Old Shao, do you know this girl?"
"Damn it! Send people to search and rescue immediately! Send the best special forces!"
Grandpa Shao's face changed drastically with anxiety. That was his precious granddaughter, and those two girls, Su Xiangwan and Gu Yanfei, were such wonderful girls!
What kind of heartless and insane person could possibly do this to these three girls!
"It's already been arranged. It's been assigned to the special forces. I want to see who dares to mess with the families of our soldiers!"
Huo Chang'an's voice was extremely cold, and his whole body was filled with a murderous aura.
After returning home, Mr. Shao remained absent-minded and restless.
He lost his appetite and sat by the phone, waiting for Huo Chang'an's call.
Before leaving, he repeatedly told Huo Chang'an to call him immediately after rescuing Xu Yirou and the others.
In fact, if he weren't worried about causing trouble for the military, he would have preferred to stay there and wait for news.
"Dad! You haven't eaten dinner yet, please have something to eat first!"
Seeing his father pacing anxiously around the phone, even skipping dinner, Mr. Shao rushed over to persuade him.
You see, my father just came back from the hospital. If something else happens to his health, that would be terrible.
"I'm not eating! I'm not in the mood to eat right now."
Grandpa Shao waved his hand impatiently, his eyes fixed on the phone, completely ignoring his son.
"dad."
Seeing his expression, Shao's father said, "How about I bring the food here? You can eat while waiting for the call. I guarantee you'll receive it as soon as possible, what do you say?"
"I'm not eating! I'm not in the mood to eat right now!"
Old Master Shao snorted coldly. His precious granddaughter was probably suffering somewhere somewhere right now!
He had no appetite whatsoever.
"Dad..." Mr. Shao sighed helplessly and said, "No matter what it is, it's not good for you to be sitting by the phone like this. Your health is already good. What if you ruin your health if you don't eat?"
"If it's broken, it's broken. If it's broken, it'll be better if we end up in the hospital."
"That's what Grandpa Shao said."
He had already asked around, and Su Xiangwan and Xu Yirou were kidnapped on their way back from the Shao family.
They wouldn't have encountered this situation if they hadn't come to see their old man.
It's all his fault!
Thinking of this, Old Master Shao felt a dull ache in his heart again.
His face turned pale, and he raised his hand to cover his chest.
"Dad...Dad...Don't worry, don't worry..."
Mr. Shao quickly helped Mr. Shao up and then shouted upstairs, "Wife, quick! Bring Dad's medicine!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shao hurriedly ran downstairs, took down Mr. Shao's medicine, and brought him water to drink.
He turned around and prepared to have the driver arrange a car to take Grandpa Shao to the hospital.
"No! I'm not going to the hospital. I'll stay here and wait for the call." Old Master Shao refused to move and insisted on staying in the living room to wait for the call.
"Dad, don't get agitated. Let's talk things out. Whose call are you waiting for? I'll wait here for you. You go to the hospital first, and I'll let you know as soon as I have any news, okay?"
Mr. Shao dared not provoke Mr. Shao any further, so he softened his voice and spoke patiently.
"You don't need to wait, I can wait by myself. I'm fine."
Old Master Shao refused. In his current state, how could he leave to recuperate in the hospital?
He will only go to the hospital after his granddaughter has been rescued.
This way, at least it will be more convenient for his granddaughter to visit him.
"Dad, you really can't act on your whims now. This is a heart problem, we can't be careless. Please listen to us and go to the hospital first! No matter what happens, nothing is more important than your health!"
At this moment, Shao's mother finally spoke up.
Hearing his daughter-in-law also trying to persuade him, Old Master Shao became even more anxious and blurted out instinctively, "How can it not be as important as my health? That's a call concerning my granddaughter's safety..."
One sentence was uttered.
Mr. and Mrs. Shao were stunned and could not believe what they had just heard.
"Dad...you just said...granddaughter?" It took Mr. Shao a while to find his voice before he asked.
"I..." Old Master Shao finally realized that he had let something slip in his haste.
"Dad...you've already heard from our daughter? What happened to her? What's wrong? Why are you keeping it from us?"
Shao's mother spoke up eagerly, asking several questions in a row.
If it weren't for the fact that she was mindful of Old Master Shao's status and health, she probably would have already caught up with him and pressed him for answers.
"Sigh..." Old Master Shao also knew that it was obviously inappropriate to keep the situation a secret from his son and daughter-in-law any longer.
He could only sigh and say, "Actually, Yi Rou is the child who was switched. The people who switched her were Xu Daqiang and Li Guixiang. After they switched the child..."
Grandpa Shao briefly explained what he had discovered during his investigation.
Even so, Shao's mother and father were so heartbroken that they wished they could rush to Hecheng right now and give Li Guixiang and Xu Daqiang a good beating.
Even biting off a piece of their flesh wouldn't quell my anger.
"How could they do this? They took away my daughter's life, letting their daughter enjoy the blessings my daughter should have had. Instead of trying to compensate my daughter even a little, they abused her like this and even tried to sell her to a widower who beat his wife to death for five hundred yuan... They even tried to steal away the university my daughter worked so hard to get into and the boyfriend she found... They are simply inhuman!"
Mrs. Shao clutched her chest in distress, feeling as if her heart was bleeding.
Then, as if remembering something, she suddenly looked up and said, "Dad, you just said that was a phone call that concerned my granddaughter's safety. What do you mean? What happened to Yirou?"
